Objective To compare the clinical effects of 577 nm and 532 nm laser panretinal photocoagulation in the treatment of severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).Methods A prospective,controlled trial was conducted in 42 patients(64 eyes)with severe NPDR,who were randomly divided into 577 nm group and 532 nm group.All of patients received PRP with the single-point model.Preoperative and postoperative 1 day,1 month,3 and 6 months,the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),fundus,optical coherence tomography (OCT) and full field flash electroretinogram (F-ERG) were examined.After treatment 3 and 6 months,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination was performed between two groups.Results In 577 nm group and 532 nm group,the average number of laser spot was (1969.25 ± 278.19) and (2098.16 ± 289.27) respectively;average laser power was (425.23 ± 50.15)mW and (438.15 ± 38.48)mW respectively;and average energy density was (7.54 ± 1.54) mW · ms · μm-2 and (7.68 ± 3.01)mW · ms · μm-2.There was no difference in number of laser spot(t =2.68),laser power (t =1.46) and energy density (t =2.15) between the two groups (all P > 0.05),and the differences of macular central thickness after treatment 1 month,3 and 6 months (t =1.98,1.88,1.81 respectively) approached no statistical significance between the two groups (all P > 0.05),while F-ERG a,b wave amplitudes after treatment 1 month,3 and 6 months (a wave:t =5.94,5.19,6.97;b wave:t =5.67,4.56,5.12) had significant differences between groups (all P < 0.05).The effective rate of treating 6 months after operation in the two groups were 87.5% and 46.9% respectively,with significant difference (x2 =7.56,P < 0.05).Conclusion 577 nm laser is more effective and has less damage to visual function than 532 nm laser in the treatment of NPDR.

Objective To investigate the expression of galectin-3 in pancreatic cancer cell and its effect on the proliferation and invasion of SW1990.Methods Immunocytochemistry and semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of galectin-3 protein and mRNA in SW1990,PANC1 and ASPC-1 cell lines.Galectin-3 mono-antibody of different concentrations ( 1,2,3,5 μg/ml) was used to treat SW1990 cells for 24,48,72 h,CCK-8 kits were used to detect the proliferation in SW1990 cells; Transwell chamber was used to study the invasion in SW1990.Results Expression of galectin-3 protein and mRNA was present in SW1990,PANC1,and ASPC-1.Galectin 3 mono-antibody inhibited the proliferation and number of invasive cells in a dose and time dependant manner.The inhibitory rates at 72 h were 19.8%,29.9% and 42.7% in 2,3,5 μg/ml galectin 3 mono-antibody groups,the difference among them and control group was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ).The inhibite rate of permeating membrane cells in 3 μg/ml galectin-3 mono antibody was 37.1%,the difference between this group and control group was statistically significant (P <0.05 ).ConcLusions Galectin-3 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells.Galectin-3 antibody can inhibit the proliferation and migration capability of SW1990 cells.

YKL-40 protein, also called chitinase 3 like 1 (CHI3L1), is a highly conserved secreted glycoprotein in racial evolution, belonging to the " 18-glycosyl hydrolase" family. A large number of studies have shown that YKL-40 is involved in the pathological process of many diseases. There is little research information about YKL-40 in ocular diseases yet. This article mainly summarizes the research progress of YKL-40 in ocular diseases in the domestic and foreign literatures to provide reference for further clinical research.
