Background In recent years,some researches show that getting younger over the diabetes mellitus (DM) was an obrious trend.But studies of early diabetic retinopathy in young people with diabetes were few.Both patients and doctors did not put enough importance on it.Objective This study was to evaluate the earlier dynamic changes of retina morphology and function caused by type 2 DM in young population.Methods A cohort study was designed.One hundred and thirty-six young patients who were initially diagnosed as type 2 DM in Cangzhou Central Hospital were included from January to March in 2010 and 91 healthy individuals with the matched age were enrolled at the same period.Glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc) level in blood was assayed yearly,and ophthalmoscope,optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual contrast sensitivity (CS) examinations were performed to evaluate the dynamic changes of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness around optical disc,retinal function and retinal microvessels of DM patients.In addition,the correlation between RNFL thickness or CS and average HbAlc level in DM patients was assessed.This study followed Declaration of Helsinki,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results The levels of HbAlc in DM patients were (7.5 ±1.6) %,(7.2 ±1.6) %,(7.4 ±1.6) %,(7.6±1.6)% and (7.7 ±1.6)% in 2010,2011,2012,2013 and 2014,respectively,and HbAlc≥7.0% was observed in 74 patients (54.4%).The RNFL thicknesses of full optic disk and superior 1/4 quadrant of the optic disk were significantly declined in 2012,2013 and 2014 in the DM group compared with the normal control group (full disk:t =2.216,5.003,7.303;all at P < 0.05.superior 1/4 quadrant:t =2.382,5.657,7.194;all at P < 0.05),but no significant differences were found between them in 2010 and 2011 (all at P>0.05).In the DM group,RNFL thicknesses of full optic disk were (99.94±10.01) μm and (96.32±10.32) μm in 2013 and 2014,which were significantly lower than (104.55±9.23) μm in 2010 (t=7.819,13.959,both at P<0.05);the RNFL thicknesses of superior 1/4 quadrant around disk were (118.64± 13.98) μm and (115.06 ± 14.35) μm in 2013 and 2014,which were significantly lower than (127.48± 13.67) μm in 2010 (t =10.504,14.758,both at P<0.05),However,the RNFL thicknesses were not significantly changed among the different time points in the normal control group (all at P>0.05).In addition,the CS values of 3.0,6.0,12.0,18.0 c/d in 2013 and 2014 in the DM group were lower than those in the normal control group (all at P<0.05),and the CS values in 2013 and 2014 were reduced in comparison with 2010 in the DM group (all at P<0.05).Positive correlations were found between the differences of RNFL thickness or CS and the average HbAlc level in the DM group (r =0.640,F =8.991,P =0.000;r =0.541,F =7.572,P =0.000).Retinal microaneurysms were seen in two type 2 DM patients by ophthalmoscope at the end of follow-up.Conclusions The young people with type 2 DM have poor blood glucose control.The RNFLs are thinning and visual functions are declining in young type 2 DM patients with the lapse of disease course,and these retinal damages are associated with poor control of blood glucose.

AIM: To observe the changes of the number of NKT cells in spleens and livers of induced model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and to study the role NKT cells play in the immunoregulation of EAE. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were immunized with MOG<,35-55> peptide and received clinical evaluation daily. The mice were sacrificed at the fastigium and the splenic and hepatic lymphocytes were isolated. The changes of NKT cells in normal and EAE C57BL/6 mice were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The percent of NKT cells in lymphocytes of different organs of EAE model were greater decreased than in that of normal mice. The percent of NKT cells in splenic lymphocytes of normal mice was 2.22± 0.14, while that in EAE mice was 1.94±0.07 (P < 0.05). The percent of NKI cells in hepatic lymphocytes of normal mice was 5.52±2.17, while that in EAE mice was 2.67± 1.41 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The proliferation of splenic and hepatic NKT cells in C57BL/6 mice are inhibited in EAE model, which may indicate that the immune function conducted by NKT cell is down regulated in EAE mice.

By using enrichment culture in liquid minimal medium or direct culture on minimal medium plates, thirteen bacterial strains (AD27-AD39) capable of utilizing atrazine as a sole nitrogen source for growth were isolated from a mixture of industrial wastewater and sludge from an atrazine manufacturing plant. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, eleven strains were identified as Arthrobacter spp. and two strans were identified as Pseudomonas spp.. We further studied in detail the composition of atrazine-degrading genes and degradation characteristics of Arthrobacter sp. AD30 and Pseudomonas sp. AD39 that have high degradative activity. From PCR assays, it was indicated that both AD30 and AD39 strains contained atrazine-degrading genes trzN and atzBC and was capable of degrading toxic atrazine to nontoxic cyanuric acid. The biodegradation experiments showed that the percentage of atrazine removal were 92.5%,were 92.5%, 97.9% and 99.6% respectively after AD30, AD39 or the mixture of the two strains were inocu- lated and incubated at 30?C for 48 hours in minimal media containing 200 mg/L atrazine, indicating that atrazine degradation by the mixed bacteria was more effective than the single strain. In addition, after industrial wastewater containing 176 mg/L atrazine was inoculated with the mixed bacteria and incubated at 30?C with shaking for 72 hours atrazine were removed by 99.1%, implicating that the mixed bacteria are good candidate for biotreatment of atrazine-containing industrial wastewater.

Objective To evaluate the eff ec t of snail control with niclosamide ethanolamine salt dustable powder (DP) in th e marshland of the Yangtze River ahead of the schedule in spring, and to underst and the impact of the low temperature to molluscicidal effect of the dusting. Methods The snail control test with niclosamide ethanolamine salt dustable powder was carried out under different te mperatures in laboratory. Then the snail control was undertaken in the marshland of the Yangtze River ahead of the schedule in spring, and the molluscicidal ef fect was observed and the temperature changes were also considered. Results When the temperature was 15 ℃ and 25 ℃ respectively, there was no significant difference on the molluscicidal effec t of niclosamide ethanolamine salt DP in laboratory. The average atmosphere temp erature in each day was 8.9-16.3 ℃ from the last ten-day of March to the fir st ten-day of April in Nanjing regions. The corrected mortality of snails and the r educed rates of density of snails were 95.38% and 99.97% respectively on the s ur face of the soil in the marshland field. The corrected mortality and the reduced rates of density of snails were 79.30% and 70.59% respectively in the surface l ayer of the soil. Conclusion The impact of air t emperature is little to the molluscicidal effect of niclosamide ethanolamine sal t DP when the average atmosphere temperature in each day was 10-15 ℃ in the ma r shland of the Yangtze River. If the snail control is undertaken ahead of the sch edule in spring, the reproduction of snails will be suppressed and the infection of Schistosma japonicum will be controlled. [
