In order to investigate the feasibility of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene therapy, murine GM-CSF cDNA recombinant retrovirus pLXSN/GM was transfered into retrovirus-packaging cell line PA3 17 by electroporation, and the transfected cells were used to infect hematopoietic progenitor cells rich populations. Transfective efficiency of NeoR gene was detected by G418 resistant CFU-GM test, and the results showed 36% them. In the genome of the infected target cells, integrated NeoR gene and GM-CSF cDNA were identified successfully by PCR and Southern Blot analysis respectively. The recombinant plasmids were showed to be capable of expressing GM-CSF mRNA in hematopoietic cells by in situ hybridization. In Dexter culture system, the present of GM-CSF-producing transduced cells inscreased mature nonadherent cell numbers as compared to controls. These results demonstrated that recombinant plasmids were successfully transfected into hematopoietic progenitor cells, and expressed in the cells. Therefore, it provided a basis for further investigation of gene therapy.

BackgroundBoth accommodative abnormality and higher order wavefront aberrations associated with near work are interrelated with blurry retinal image.It is very important to investigate the higher order wavefront aberrations in stable and progressive myopic eyes before and after near work. ObjectiveThe present study wasto observe the high order aberration change of myopic eyes before and after computer work upon near work stimulation as well as the relationship of high order aberration changes to types of myopia. MethodsThe case-controlled design was used in this clinical study.Sixty right eyes of 60 subjects were enrolled,including 30 progressive myopias and 30 stable myopias with matched age and gender.Refractive errors of the subjects were completely corrected by the wearing of spectacles.The subjects remained the work for 1 hour in front of a computer monitor with 40 cm distance under the dark environment and nature pupil size,and the height of the eye and monitor center kept the same level.The changes of wavefront aberration in test eyes were measured with Complete Ophthalmic Analysis System before and after 1 hour of continuous computer work.The influences of computer-work and myopia types on wavefront aberration were analyzed in 3,4,5 mm pupil size.Root-mean-square (RMS) of aberrations was calculated as the index of higher order wavefront aberrations.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the higher order wavefront aberrations before and after computer work for the two types of myopic eyes under the 3,4,5 mm pupil.The RMS of higher order wavefront aberrations were similar between progressive myopia and stable myopia under the 3 mm pupil condition.Total higher order RMS,6th-order,5th-order and 3rd-order RMS were significantly higher in progressive myopic group compared with stable myopic group under the 4 mm pupil size ( RMS3:F =5.985,P =0.016 ; RMS5:F =3.975,p=0.049;RMS6:F=8.130,P=0.005:RMST:F=6.493,P=0.012) and 5mm pupil size(RMS3:F=13.132,P=0.000;RMS5:F =4.032,P=0.047 ; RMS6:F =4.393,P=0.038:RMST:F=10.508,P=0.002 ).The spherical aberrations were higher in progressive myopic group under the 3,4,5 mm pupil conditions in comparison with stable myopic group,but these alterations were insignificant between two types of myopias ( P>0.05 ).Conclusions Higher order wavefront aberrations of progressive myopic eyes is comparable higher than the stable myopic eyes.Computer reading task dose not significantly impact the higher order wavefront aberrations on myopic eyes.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the infection of Anisakis in marine fish sold in Fuxin, and conduct molecular identification and evolutionary tracing of third-stage larvae to determine Anisakis species. Methods From 2018 to 2021, marine fish sold in the market were collected randomly, and the third stage larvae of Anisakis were detected in marine fish sold in the market by direct dissection, and the morphological characteristics were used to preliminarily identify species by microscopy; the total DNA was extracted, the internal transcribed spacer sequence of the ribosomal DNA of Anisakis was amplified, and the sequence alignment and evolution analysis were carried out. Results A total of 289 market-sold sea fish samples of marine fish sold in the market were dissected and 84 samples of Anisakis were detected with a detection rate of 29.1%, of which the infection rates of hairtail and small yellow croaker were higher, at 41.4% and 41.2%, respectively. BLAST comparison of 28 sequences revealed eight species of anisakids, including Anisakis pegreffii, Anisakis simplex, Anisakis typical, Raphidascaris trichiurid, Contracaecum muraenesoxi, Hysterothylcaium zhoushanensis, Hysterothylacium amoyense and Hysterothylcaium fabri,belonging to the genera Anisakis and Hysterothylacium. The phylogenetic tree constructed from 28 sequences generally formed two topological branches, with Anisakis pegreffii, Anisakis simplex, and Anisakis typical forming three separate clusters as the topology branch of Anisakis genus. However, meanwhile, Hysterothylacium, Contracaecum, and Raphidascaris formed a separate topological branch. Conclusions The marine fish sold in Fuxin City have severe anisakid infection, with a wide variety of anisakid species, the dominant species being Anisakis pegreffii.
