ObjectiveTo investigate the influential factors on the deaf children's hearing and speech rehabilitation.Methods43 deaf children were involved in our study. They performed the hearing thresholds, hearing ability, speech ability and learning aptitude tests.ResultsGender and hearing aid mode didn't correlate with the children's hearing and speech performance (P>0.05). Hearing thresholds had significant influence on the hearing ability (P<0.05), and the speech ability had a strong correlation with the children's learning aptitude (P<0.05). The multiple regression analysis showed that the hearing ability was a significant predictor of speech ability (P<0.001).ConclusionGiving hearing compensation timely and effectively and grasping the critical period of language development to do rehabilitation training as soon as possible are very important to deaf children's rehabilitation of hearing and speech ability.

Transient receptor potential(TRP) superfamily includes seven subfamilies and TRP channels are regulated by a wide variety of physical and chemical factors. Recently, several members of the TRP channel family have been reported to be regulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate(PIP2). The regulation is complex and it can be activation or inhibition, involving multiple mechanisms and factors. This review summarizes the PIP2 regulation of several TRP channels of different superfamilies and the related pathophysiological significance.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab combined with vitrectomy for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma (NVG). Methods The clinical data of 21 NVG patients who had underwent vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab 0.5 mg, then were given the vitrectomy after 3 to 5 d after treatment. The whole retinal photocoagulation was performed during the operation. Cataract surgery was combined in 16 patients, and ciliary photocoagulation was combined in another 15 patients. All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, and the intraocular pressure, visual acuity and neovascularization of iris (NVI) were observed. Results The rate of NVI symptoms resolving completely 3 weeks after operation was 80.95％(17/21). The intraocular pressure 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation was significantly lower than that before operation: (18.6 ± 5.1), (14.3 ± 4.8), (12.8 ± 4.4), (15.1 ± 3.7) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (42.8 ± 7.3) mmHg, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Two months after operation, 2 cases were not able to control by chemicals, and were treated with transscleral cyclophotocoagulation. Six months after operation, the intraocular pressure was completely controlled in 15 cases, and conditionally controlled in 6 cases. No ocular hypotension occurred. The visual acuity was not improved in 4 cases, but the rest were improved in different degrees. Conclusions For the patients of NVG combined with vitreous hemorrhage and obvious proliferation, intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in the first place, and then combined with vitrectomy, whole retinal photocoagulation and ciliary photocoagulation can obtain good effect.

Background Endophthalmitis is a serious infectious eye disease.Efficient drug therapy plays a key role in the early stage.There have been few researches on teicoplanin treating endophthalmitis and pharmacokinetics in ocular tissue.Objective The present study was to investigate the intraocular pharmacokinetic course and feature of intravitreal administration of teicoplanin.Methods Thirty-three Japanese white rabbits were included in this study and randomized into 6 groups.The right eyes of the rabbits were used in experiment.5 g/L of teicoplanin was injected into the vitreous cavity,and vitreous and aqueous humor samples were extracted after 15 minutes,30 minutes,1,2,4,6,12,24,48,96 and 192 hours,and the concentration of teicoplanin was determined by bioassay.Results The logarithmic value of the concentration of teicoplanin was raised with the increase in the bacterial inhibition zone diameters,of which the equation of the regression curve was Y =0.174X-0.813(R2=0.999).A good linear relationship was presented within 1.0-80.0 mg/L.Single intravitreal injection of teicoplanin was compliant with the two-compartment model.Moreover,the distribution phase Tα1/2 and elimination phase Tβ1/2 of vitreous were 1.68 and 152.15 hours,separately.And Tα1/2 and Tβ1/2 of the aqueous humor were 2.83 hours and 70.56 hours,individually.The peak teicoplanin concentrations in the vitreous and aqueous humor were(358.47±21.53)mg/L and(102.17±9.54)mg/L at 1 hour,respectively and remained at(4.38±0.68)mg/L and(2.38±0.38)mg/L,respectively 192 hours later.Conclusions Intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg of teicoplanin can remain therapeutic concentration for a long time in the vitreous and aqueous humor.

BACKGROUND:Gene engineering plays an important role in the process of human malignant tumor treatment, and adenovirus vectors for gene therapy are commonly used. In recent years, lactoferrin is found to exert important effects on the occurrence, development and metastasis of a variety of tumors. However, little is reported on the in vivo expression of adenovirus vector mediated lactoferrin in the human body.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of adenovirus mediated human lactoferrin (Ad-hLF) on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer stem-like cells.METHODS:Primary cervical cancer cells from mice were cultured in vitro to sort cervical cancer stem-like cells using SP method. Afterwards, the stem-like cells were divided into three groups, blank control group, empty vector group, and Ad-hLF group, followed by transfection with nothing, Ad-GFP and Ad-hLF, respectively. After transfection, MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of cervical cancer stem-like cells; scratch-wound assay was employed to detect the migration of cervical cancer stem-like cells; western blot assay was used to determine the expression of lactoferrin in cervical cancer stem-like cells; and Annexin V-FITC/PI was used to detect cell apoptosis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank control and empty vector groups, Ad-hLF significantly inhibited the proliferation of cervical cancer stem-like cells and reduced the number of scratched cells, while the cell apoptosis increased in the Ad-hLF group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). These findings indicate that the recombinant adenovirus vector mediated lactoferrin Ad-hLF for transfection of cervical cancer stem-like cells can be stably expressed in cervical cancer stem-like cells, and can inhibit the proliferation, increase apoptosis and reduce migration of cervical cancer stem-like cells.

This study examined the mechanism by which the gastric cancer cells lead to early peritoneal metastasis. HMrSV5 cells, a human peritoneal mesothelial cell line, were co-incubated with the supernatants of gastric cancer cells. Morphological changes of HMrSV5 cells were observed. The cell damage was quantitatively determined by MTT assay. The apoptosis of HMrSV5 cells was observed under transmission electron microscope. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide-stained condensed nuclei was detected by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax was immunochemically evaluated. The results showed that conspicuous morphological changes of apoptosis were observed in HMrSV5 cells 24 h after treatment with the supernatants of gastric cancer cells. The supernatants could induce apoptosis of HMrSV5 cells in a time-dependent manner. The supernatants could up-regulate the expression of Bax and suppress that of Bcl-2 in HMrSV5 cells. These findings demonstrated that gastric cancer cells can induce the apoptosis of HPMCs through supernatants in the early peritoneal metastasis. The abnormal expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax may contribute to the apoptosis. Anti-apoptosis drugs promise to be adjuvant chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.
