AlM: To observe the early tear film changes after trabeculectomy using Keratograph 5M.METHODS:Fourty-one patients (46 eyes) of glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy were involved. First tear break up time ( FTBUT ) , average tear break up time (ATBUT), non-invasive tear meniscus height (NlTMH), lipid layer thickness and meibomian gland scores were measured at 1d preoperatively and at 1d, 1wk, 1mo postoperatively.RESULTS:At 1d, 1wk and 1mo postoperatively, FTBUT and ATBUT decreased greatly (P<0. 05), as well as lipid layer thickness (P<0. 017). NlTMH at 1d postoperatively increased significantly, but at 1wk and 1mo postoperatively decreased greatly (P<0. 05). There was no significantly difference in meibomian gland scores between preoperation and postoperation (P>0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Keratograph 5M could be used to evaluate tear film function rapidly and accurately. Trabeculectomy significantly alters tear film stability and tear secretion in the short term after operation.

SARS-CoV-2 has been spreading rapidly since its outbreak in December 2019.Understanding its epidemiological characteristics, especially cutting off transmission routes, is crucial to controlling the spread of the disease. In the study of transmission pathway, the issue of whether SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted through ocular surface tissue has also aroused concerns, but there are still no clinically confirmed cases and laboratory evidence of its infection through ocular surface tissue. New research suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the same genus as SARS coronavirus(SARS-CoV), and that it enters cells in the same way as SARS-CoV. This paper reviews the research on SARS-CoV to investigate the possible mechanism of eye transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease characterized by lipid accumulation in the vascular wall and influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. To understand the mechanisms of molecular regulation related to atherosclerosis better, a protein interaction network was constructed in the present study. Genes were collected in nucleotide database and interactions were downloaded from Biomolecular Object Network Database (BOND). The interactional data were imported into the software Cytoscape to construct the interaction network, and then the degree characteristics of the network were analyzed for Hub proteins. Statistical significance pathways and diseases were figured out by inputting Hub proteins to KOBAS2. 0. The complete pathway network related to atherosclerosis was constructed. The results identified a series of key genes related to atherosclerosis, which would be the potential promising drug targets for effective prevention.

Objective To study the activity of type 2 Iodothyronine deiodinase(D2)and the expressions of myelin basic protein(MBP)and synapsinⅠin the brain tissue of young rats fed on a diet with different levels of iodine.Methods Wistar rats were fed on a diet with different doses of KIO_3 for 3 months and then mated randomly.The serum TH and the brain D2 activity were measured in 28 days old pups.The protein expressions of MBP and SynapsinⅠin their brains were determined by immunohistochemistry staining.Results Compared with normal iodine group(NI),the serum TH levels of low iodine group(LI) were lower,while those of iodine excess groups were gradually decreased with their increase of iodine intake,especially in 100-fold high iodine group(100 HI),TT_4 and FT_4 were significantly decreased(P0.05).The immunohistochemistry staining showed weakly positive reactivity of MBP in corpus callosum and stronger of synapsin I in hippocampus CA3 in LI group compared with NI. The similar alterations were also found in all iodine excess groups with their increase of iodine intake.But MBP reactivity was stronger in 100 HI rats than the LI ones.Conclusion Iodine deficiency and iodine excess can cause hypothyroidism in degrees in the young rats,more severe hypothyroid and retarded myelin sheath and synapses can be caused in iodine deficiency compared with iodine excess.

AIM:To study the effects and mechanisms of ethanol on chloride channels in poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells.METHODS:The effect of ethanol on the cell growth was analyzed by MTT as-say.The technique of whole-cell patch-clamp was used to detect the chloride current .The characteristics of the chloride current were analyzed by using the chloride channel blockers .The siRNA technique was used to analyze the molecular basis of the ethanol-sensitive chloride channels .RESULTS: Under isotonic conditions , the background current was weak and stable.Ethanol at concentrations of 0.17~170 mmol/L activated a chloride current in a concentration-dependent manner (an inverted U-shape), with a maximum effect at the concentration of 17 mmol/L.The currents showed obviously outward rectification and were susceptible to extracellular hypertonicity and the chloride channel blocker , 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropyl-amino) benzoic acid ( NPPB) .ClC-3 siRNA obviously decreased the currents activated by ethanol .CONCLUSION:Ex-tracellular ethanol induces chloride currents through activating the ClC-3 chloride channels .

Objective:To identify the androgen-responsive genes in prostate and screen the molecular targets for further studying human prostate cancer. Methods:The potential androgen-responsive gene pituitary tumor transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) was selected which had been previously screened by cDNA microarray in rat prostate and its mRNA level was detected by Northern blot in the castrated rat prostate with and without replacement of Mibolerone. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the expression and location of PTTG1 in human prostate tissues. Then human androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells LNCaP were used as a model to study the regulation of PTTG1 by Mibolerone. Results: PTTG1 mRNA was hardly detectable in the prostate of 7-day castrated rats, while it was up-regulated dramatically in the prostate of 7-day castrated rats treated with Mibolerone for 2 days. It was showed that high expression of PTTG1 was localized to the epithelial cells of human prostate cancer but not to the stromal cells with Immunohistochemistry. Northern blot analysis indicated that LNCaP cells treated with 0.1 nmol/L Mibolerone for 2 days led to the high PTTG1 mRNA expression. The basic expression of PTTG1 in human androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines PC3 or DU145 was even higher than that in the human androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells LNCaP treated with Mibolerone. Conclusion: Androgen can up-regulate the PTTG1 expression in castrated rat prostate and human prostate cancer cell LNCaP. It suggests that PTTG1 is potential to play an important role in human prostate cancer progression.
