International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2016;39(1):-
Objective To explore the potential therapeutic targets of radiotherapy in colorectal cancer via bioinformatics analysis of gene expression microarray.Methods The gene expression dataset GSE15781 was downloaded from the GEO database.The differentially expressed genes in radiotherapy treated colorectal cancer samples compared with those without radiotherapy,as well as differentially expressed genes in colorectal cancer samples without radiotherapy compared with normal colorectal tissues without radiotherapy,were obtained by R programming.The DAVID database was used for the functional enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes.Besides,protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the overlapped genes between the two groups of differentially expressed genes were constructed based on the HPRD database.Results A total of 702 differentially expressed genes were obtained for the radiotherapy treated colorectal cancer samples compared with the ones without radiotherapy.Besides,126 differentially expressed genes in colorectal cancer samples without radiotherapy compared with normal colorectal tissues without radiotherapy were identified.Biological processes that related to cell adhesion,cell proliferation,as well as inflammatory response were found to be enriched in those differentially expressed genes.Moreover,16 overlaps were found between the two groups of differentially expressed genes,and in the PPI network of the 16 overlapped genes,PTGS2 and SDCBP2,etc,were closely correlated with other genes,which might be the important therapeutic targets of radiotherapy.Conclusions Some potential therapeutic targets of radiotherapy in colorectal cancer can be obtained by analysis of gene expression profiles,which may be very important for the study and treatment.

International Eye Science 2015;(7):1165-1167
AlM: To comprehensively evaluate of visual quality after epipolis laser in situ keratomileusis ( EPl-LASlK) in mild to moderate myopia.METHODS: Sixty cases ( 120 eyes ) undergone EPl-LASlK with equivalent diopter ( SE ) were divided into two groups:mild myopia group (60 eyes) and moderate myopia group ( 60 eyes ) . Objective visual acuity, aberration, contrast sensitivity and glare sensitivity were measured before and 1wk; 1, 6mo after operation, and made comparative analysis. RESULTS: Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) of two groups were better than that of preoperative(P<0. 05). Postoperative 6mo, there were significant differences on total high RMS between two groups ( P < 0. 05 ). Before operation and 6mo after operation, higher - order aberrations had statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0. 05). After 1wk and 1mo, there were statistical significances at the five frequencies between two groups (P<0. 05). After 6mo, the mild myopia group returned to preoperative levels, however, moderate myopia group in the high frequency region ( 18. 0c/d ) had significant difference with before surgery (P<0. 05). 1wk after surgery, there were statistically significant differences on the 3. 0, 6. 0, 12.0, 18. 0c/d frequency in both groups (all P<0. 05), 1mo after surgery, there were significant difference at 12.0, 18.0c/d frequencies (all P<0.05), after 6mo, both groups returned to preoperative levels, showed no significant difference.CONCLUSlON:Visual quality is poorer in mild myopia patients than that in moderate myopia at early stage after EPl-LASlK. Better visual quality is observed at mid-late stage.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Methods The study included 38eyes of 19 infants with stage 3 ROP (18 eyes of 9 infants in zone Ⅰ,20 eyes of 10 infants in zone Ⅱ ).All the patients were examined by indirect ophthalmoscope and photographed by wide-angle digital retinal imaging system (RetCam Ⅱ ). The fundus lesions in both eyes were the same. Patients received laser photocoagulation in one eye (laser group) and intravitreal injection of 0.03 ml bevacizumab (25 mg/ml) in the fellow eyes (bevacizumab group) during treatment.Follow-up ranged from 12 to 66 weeks,with an average of 33 weeks. The regression time of neovascular ridges and plus-diseases in two groups were compared.Results For 18 eyes with stage 3 ROP in zone Ⅰ,the regression time of neovascular ridges and plus-diseases were (2.25 ±0.46) and (2.11 ±0.60) weeks respectively in bevacizumab group,and both were (3.75 ± 1.75) weeks in laser group.The differences between those two groups were statistically significant (F=18.29,15.56;P<0.05).For 20 eyes with stage 3 ROP in zone Ⅱ,the regression time of neovascular ridges and plus-diseases were (3.1 ±1.72) and (2.1 ± 0.56) weeks respectively in bevacizumab group,and were (3.50± 1.90) and (2.50± 1.35) weeks respectively in laser group.The differences between those two groups were not statistically significant (F =0.38,2.62 ; P> 0.05).There were more fibrous membrane proliferations on the retinal surface in 8 eyes,including 6 eyes in laser group and 2 eyes in bevacizumab group. There was no treatment-related endophthalmitis,cataract,retinal tears and other complications during the follow-up.Conclusion The laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab were both safe and effective in treating stage 3 ROP.
