Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2017;35(2):165-169
Background Fungal keratitis can cause serious damage to visual function of corneal infective disease,which is more difficult to treat.In recent years,injecting antifungal drugs to the corneal stroma not only enrich the treatment of the disease,but also achieve good clinical effects.Correctly selecting drug kinds and drug concentration can improve the cure rate,and reduce adverse reactions after treatment,but the related research is rare.Objective This study was to observe the clinical effects of corneal stroma fluconazole injection with different concentration for the treatment of fungal keratitis.Methods Prospective study was performed.One hundred and two patients (102 eyes) diagnosed as fungal keratitis were included from May 2012 to January 2015 in Jizhong Energy Xingtai Mining General Hospital.The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups,The eyedrop treatment group (29 eyes) received 0.5% fluconazole eyedrops and 5% natamycin eyedrops treatment.The 0.1% fluconazole group (35 eyes) and 0.2% fluconazole group (38 eyes) received 0.1% and 0.2% fluconazole corneal stroma injection after eyedrop treatment,respectively.Each group underwent potassium hydroxide wet examination and fungal cultures.The curative effect and adverse reactions were observed.Results Fusarium 41.2% (42/102),Aspergillus 21.6% (22/102)and Alternaria mold 17.6% (18/102) ranked the top three pathogenic species.The distribution of pathogenic fungus among the 3 groups were significantly different (x2 =3.763,P>0.05).The cure rate of eyedrop treatment group was 44.8% (13/49),which was significantly lower than 0.1% fluconazole group (74.3%,26/35) and 0.2% fluconazole group (81.6%,31/38) (x2 =5.782,9.854;both at P<0.05).The cure rate was significantly different between 0.1% fluconazole group and 0.2% fluconazole group (x2=0.566,P>0.05).The average cure time of eyedrop treatment group,0.1% fluconazole group and 0.2% fluconazole group were (36.28 ± 10.39),(29.14± 7.86) and (21.34 ± 8.57) days,respectively,with a significant difference among the three groups (F =5.336,P=0.006).The acuity of vision was significantly increased after treatment in the 0.1% fluconazole group and 0.2% fluconazole group (t =3.009,4.695;both at P < 0.01).The average number of injection in the 0.1% fluconazole group was (5.71 ± 2.97) times,which was higher than (5.13 ± 1.80) times in the 0.2% fluconazole group (t=4.471,P<0.05).Four cases in 0.2% fluconazole group with eye irritation were observed.After diclofenac sodium eyedrops treatment,the symptoms of 3 cases were disappeared.One case was cured by conjunctival flap covering method.All the cases were followed up for 1-3 months,no adverse reactions and recurrence was found.Conclusions Corneal stroma fluconazole injection is an effective method for treatment of fungal keratitis.In order to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions,0.1% fluconazole injection in corneal stroma is recommend for light fungal keratitis patients;for moderate and heavy fungal keratitis patients,0.2% fluconazole injection in corneal stroma can be performed after failure of 0.1% fluconazole treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of total paeony glycoside (TPG) on the expression of tumor suppressor gene in lung cancer model rats. METHODS:90 rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive control group [cyclophosphamide,50 mg/(kg·d)] and TPG low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups [50,100,200 mg/(kg·d)] with 15 rates in each group. Except for normal group,other groups were given disposable infusion of carcinogenic iodized oil via left lobe bronchus to induce lung cancer model. After modeling,those groups were given relevant medicine intravenously from Monday to Friday,while normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intravenously for consecutive 16 weeks. The expression of multidrug resistance associated protein(MRP),human multidrug resistance gene(MDR1),P21 and P16 mRNA in lung tissue of rats were determined by RT-PCR;the expression of P53 protein in lung cancer tissue was determined by IHC method.The rate of positive expression was calculated,and pathological change of lung tissue was observed. RESULTS:Com-pared with normal group,the expression of MRP,MDR1,P21,P16 mRNA and P53 protein(positive rate of 66.67%)in lung tis-sue was increased significantly in model group (P<0.05);compared with model group,the expression of MRP,MDR1,P21, P16 mRNA and P53 protein (positive rate of 46.67%,46.67%,40.00%,13.33%) decreased in positive control group,TPG low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups in dose-dependent manner,and the decrease of TPG medium-dose and high-dose groups were more significant than that of positive control group (P<0.05);there was statistical significance in above indexes among TPG groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:TPG could inhibit the expression of MRP,MDR1,P21,P16 gene and P53 pro-tein in lung cancer model rats significantly.

AIMTo observe the effect and mechanism of scopolamine on morphine(Mor)-induced mice dependence.
METHODSThe Mor-dependent mice model was established by intraperitoneal (ip) administered Mor for seven days. Pain threshold, times of jump and hippocampus intracellular free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) were determined by the heat plate test, naloxone (Nal)-precipitated jumping response and flow cytometry, respectively.
RESULTSThe pain threshold of Mor-dependent mice decreased significantly while there was a marked increase in times of jump, the rate of jumping animals and hippocampus [Ca2+]i. Co-administered scopolamine, the pain threshold of Mor-dependent mice increased significantly; the number of jump, the rate of jumping animals and hippocampus [Ca2+]i all decreased significantly.
CONCLUSIONScopolamine could antagonize the Mor-induced mice dependence, which could be related to decreasing the levels of brain intracellular free calcium.
