AIM: To research the correlation factor of the anterior segment values of eyes with different axial lengths.METHODS: In this study, 697 cases 697 eyes were included.According to axial length we divided all the cases into short axial length group, normal axial length group, mild long axial length group, moderate long axial length group and severe long axial length group.The relevant indicators of the anterior segment values of patients in the five groups was comparatively analyzed.RESULTS: In the short axial length group, the anterior chamber volume (ACV) showed a significantly negative correlation with age;anterior chamber depth (ACD) showed a significantly negative correlation with age.In the normal axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with axial length(AXL);the anterior chamber angle (ACA) showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL, and a significantly positive correlation with corneal curvature;the ACD showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL.In the mild long axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL, and a significantly negative correlation with corneal curvature;the ACA showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL, and a significantly positive correlation with corneal curvature;the ACD showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL.In the moderate long axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age;the ACA showed a significantly positive correlation with AXL;the ACD showed a significantly positive correlation with AXL.In the severe long axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age.There were no significant differences on ACV, ACA and ACD among mild long axial length group, moderate long axial length group and severe long axial length group (P>0.05), while the difference between other groups was significant (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: There has a correlation between the anterior chamber values (ACV, ACA, ACD) age and AXL for eyes which AXL were 22-27mm, while the correlation would disappear as the AXL became shorter or longer.There was a significant growth trend of anterior chamber values for eyes with AXL <27mm.

Objective To investigate effect of carnosine on oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion ( OGD/RP) induced injury in rat brain slices. Methods Injury of brain slices was determined by TTC methods.The contents of ATP, ADP and AMP were determined by high performance liquid chromatography.Reactive Oxygen species ( ROS) were determined by fluorescence methods.Results Compared with control group, rat hippocampal slices were significantly damaged by OGD/RP, indicated by light color and decreased A490 nm value of TTC staining.Meanwhile the contents of ATP and ADP were significantly decreased, and the content of AMP and ROS were significantly increased, the difference between two group was significant ( P<0.01).Pre-incubation with Carnosine (1000, 200, 40 μg/mL) significantly inhibited the light color and decreased A490 nm value of TTC staining, increased the contents of ATP, ADP and AMP, and decreased the content of ROS, the difference between two group was significant ( P <0.01 ) . Conclusion Carnosine can protect rat hippocampal slices against injury induced by OGD/RP, which may relate to improve the energy metabolism and strengthen the ability of anti-oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the value of wide-detector Revolution CTA with 70 kV tube voltage and prospective ECG-gated technique in diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) in infants and children.Methods Forty-five infants and children with complicated CHD underwent echocardiography and wide-detector Revolution CTA.According to the sur gical findings,the diagnostic efficiency of Revolution CTA and echocardiography were calculated and compared.The radiation effective dose (ED) and iodine dose were calculated.The quality of CT images was also evaluated.Results There were 25 separate cardiovascular anomalies including 6 congenital cardiac structure anomalies and 19 congenital extracardiac vascular anomalies.For congenital extracardiac vascular anomalies,there was significant difference of diagnostic accuracy and the detectable rate between CTA (99.77％ [853/855],97.73％ [86/88]) and echocardiography (98.71％ [844/855],88.64％ [78/88];x2 =6.28,5.72,both P＜0.05).The average of ED was (0.20±0.05)mSv and the mean iodine dose was (2.06± 1.09)g.All CT images were qualified for diagnosis.Conclusion The wide-detector Revolution CTA,with the prospective ECG-gated technique and 70 kV tube voltage,can provide high accuracy for assessment of CHD in infants and children,which can keep good image quality,with the low radiation dose.

Objective To explore the role of histone H3 acetylation modification of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods 2 months and 8 months SAMP8 mice were used as AD model.Morris water maze was used to detect the impairment of learning and memory.Western blot was used to detect BDNF protein expression in the hippocampus,and chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) was applied to study the changes of histone H3 acetylation in different BDNF promoters.Results The results of water maze test showed that the time across the target quadrant in 8 months SAMP8 mice(0.9±0.4) was significant declined compared with that of 2 months SAMP8 mice(3.7 ± ±0.9) and 8 months SAMR1 mice (3.3±0.6)(all P＜0.05).Meanwhile,compared with 2 months SAMP8 mice ((23.9±4.0) s) and 8 months SAMR1 mice ((21.5± 2.3) s),target quadrant time in the 8 months SAMP8 mice((11.7±2.8) s) was also significantly reduced(both P＜0.05).The western blot showed the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus of 8 months SAMP8 mice was significantly decreased compared with that of 2 months SAMP8 mice and 8 months SAMR1 mice(P＜0.05).Lastly,CHIP assays showed that histone H3 acetylation of BDNF exon Ⅳ and Ⅵ in the hippocampus of 8 months SAMP8 mice were remarkably decreased(P＜0.05) compared with that of 2 months SAMP8 mice and 8 months SAMR1 mice.There was no significant change of histone H3 acetylation of BDNF exon Ⅰ and Ⅲ among all groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Histone H3 acetylation of BDNF exon Ⅳ and Ⅵ is reduced during the development of AD,which may be the mechanism underlying the impairment of learning and memory in AD.

Objective To investigate the value of CD5 molecule-like protein(CD5L) and partial pressure of CO2 in arterial blood(PaCO2) in predicting the survival of patients with severe asthma and mechanical ventilation.Methods From Jan.2013 to Jan.2016,a total of 38 patients with severe asthma and mechanical ventilation were enrolled.Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ(APACHE II)were used to assess the severity.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of CD5L at admission and 6 h after treatment.PaCO2 were also detected.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between APACHEⅡ score and CD5L and PaCO2 levels.Receiver operation characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of CD5L and PaCO2 in predicting the survival of patients.Results APACHEⅡscores of survival patients were significantly higher than dead patients(P<0.05).CD5L level of survival patients after treatment was significantly lower than dead patients,while PaCO2 level was significantly higher(P<0.05).APACHEⅡ score was negatively correlated with serum CD5L level(r=-0.347,P<0.05),while positively correlated with PaCO2 level(r=0.573,P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that serum CD5L and PaCO2 were with predictive value for prediction the survival of patients,with sensitivity of 93.33%,specificity of 75.00%,accuracy of 89.47%,positive predictive value of 93.33%,and negative predictive value of 75.00% for CD5L,and those for PaCO2 were 90.00%,87.50%,89.47%,97.42% and 70.00%.Conclusion With the decreasing of CD5L level and increasing of PaCO2 level,severity of disease in patients with severe asthma and mechanical ventilation could be more serious condition,indicating poor prognosis.CD5L and PaCO2 could be with fine predictive value of survival of patients with severe asthma and mechanical ventilation.

Objective : To learn the characteristics of second-line drug resistance and related gene mutations of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( MDR-TB ) Beijing genotype strains. Methods: The MDR-TB isolates in Hwa Mei Hospital from 2017 to 2019 were enrolled and detected using RD105 deletion-targeted multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The proportion method for drug susceptibility test was used to detect the drug-resistant profiles against kanamycin, amikacin, capreomycin, ofloxacin and levofloxacin. The gene sequencing of rrs, tlyA, eis, gidB, gyrA and gyrB was conducted by PCR compared with H37RV strain. The differences in the rates of drug resistance and mutation between Beijing and non-Beijing genotype strains were examined to understand the characteristics of Beijing genotype strains. Results: There were 106 Beijing genotype and 27 non-Beijing genotype strains in 133 MDR-TB isolates. The drug resistance rates of kanamycin, amikacin, capreomycin, ofloxacin and levofloxacin in Beijing genotype strains were 9.43%, 7.55%, 3.77%, 32.08% and 32.08%, respectively. The rates of quasi-extensive and extensive drug resistance in Beijing genotype strains were 30.19% and 7.55%. The gene mutation rates of rrs, tlyA, eis, gidB, gyrA and gyrB in Beijing genotype strains were 7.55%, 7.55%, 1.89%, 2.83%, 36.79% and 2.83%, respectively. There were no significantly differences between Beijing and Non-Beijing genotype strains in the factors above ( P>0.05 ). The gene rrs, tlyA, eis, gidB, gyrA and gyrB had 2, 1, 2, 2, 5 and 3 mutation types, respectively, with single base substitution as the main type. Conclusion Beijing genotype strains are dominant in MDR-TB, with high resistance to fluoroquinolones and mainly gyrA gene mutation.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of methylene blue (MB) on blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury after focal cere-bral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=6), model group (n=6) and MB treatment group (n=6). The left middle cerebral arteries were occluded for 1 hour and reperfused. MB was infused intra-venously immediately after reperfusion (3 mg/kg) and again 2 hours post-reperfusion (1.5 mg/kg), while normal saline was administered in the model group. The sham-operated group was treated as same as the model group without occlusion and infusion. HE staining was used to observe the histological injury in the cortex around the infarcted region 47 hours after reperfusion, while albumin immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the permeability of the BBB, and immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence staining were used to exam-ine the expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and aquaporin-4 (AQP-4). Results HE staining showed that cells and blood ves-sels were not intact in the cortex around the infarcted region in the model group and they were better in the MB treatment group. The expres-sions of the albumin, GFAP and AQP-4 were higher in the model group than in the sham-operated group (P<0.01), and were lower in MB treatment group than in the model group (P<0.05). The double immunofluorescence staining showed the colocalization of GFAP and AQP-4 in the astrocytes. Conclusion MB may ameliorate the BBB disruption induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion through reducing glio-cyte proliferation and down-regulation of AQP-4 expression in rats.
