China is a country with a high prevalence of myopia,and the incidence of myopia among adolescents is in-creasing year by year.The usage rate of orthokeratology is also increasing year by year.In order to improve the effectiveness of myopia control,ophthalmologists have adopted plans such as optimizing lens design and combined treatment to provide protection for adolescent myopia control.This article reviews the diverse clinical applications of orthokeratology and their effectiveness based on national and international literature.

OBJECTIVETo construct a lentiviral vector carrying the γ-synuclein(SNCG) gene and establish a human colorectal carcinoma cell line SW1116 stably expressing this gene, and then investigate the inhibition of the growth and invasion capacity of SW1116 cells.
METHODSRNA interference fragment was designed according to the SNCG sequence (GenBank: No.NM003087.2), and then SNCG RNAi effective target genes were screened. After the Oligo DNA of target sequences was synthesized, the lentiviral vectors carrying LV-SNCG-RNAi-EGFP (RNAi group) and LV-SNCG-NC-EGFP (NC group) were constructed and packaged to produce lentivirus venom. The supernatants of different virus-producing cells were used to transfect SW1116 cells respectively. Wild SW1116 cells were used as blank control (CON group) EGFP fluorescence was detected by fluorescent microscopy and the differential expression of SNCG mRNA and protein was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. CCK-8, soft agar assay and Transwell chamber were employed to estimate the inhibiting effect on growth and invasion of SW1116 respectively.
RESULTSRecombinant lentiviral vectors respectively carrying the SNCG-RNAi-EGFP and SNCG-NC-EGFP were successfully constructed and the supernatants of lentivirus could effectively infect SW1116 cells. The titer of the virus carrying LV-SNCG-RNAi-EGFP or LV-SNCG-NC-EGFP was 8×10(8) TU/ml. Real-time PCR and Western blot confirmed that compared with the NC group, SNCG-RNAi group had lower SNCG expression (1.009±0.161 vs. 0.114±0.030, P=0.009), and showed tremendous silencing effect as 76.8%(P<0.05). SNCG protein expression was also significantly reduced (RNAi:12.001±2.884, NC:32.443±4.731, CON:34.308±6.920, P<0.05). After SNCG knockdown, the number of proliferation cells was obviously reduced at 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours respectively(P=0.036). In soft agar assay, clones in RNAi group were smaller[RNAi:(0.582±0.103) mm, NC:(1.863±0.316) mm, CON:(1.749±0.525) mm]. Colony formation rate of RNAi group was down to (17.1±3.5)%, which was significantly lower than (36.5±4.3)% in NC group and (33.8±3.9)% in CON group. In migration test, the number of invasion cell was 37.4±9.3 in RNAi group, which was significantly less than 112.3±8.6 in NC group and 100±0.0 in CON group.
CONCLUSIONExpression of SNCG mRNA and protein plays an important role in the growth and the invasion capacity of SW1116 cells.

Objective :
To investigate the effect and mechanism of ARRB1 on Armillariella tabescens polysaccharides reversal of 5-fluorouracil ( 5-FU ) -induced chemotherapeutic intestinal mucosal injury.
Methods :
Twelve ARRB1 knockout ( ARRB1 -/ - ) and wild-type ( WT) C57BL /6 mice were randomly divided into Control,Model and ATPS groups (200 mg / kg) ,respectively.5-FU (50 mg / kg) was injected intraperitoneally for 7 days to establish a model of chemotherapeutic intestinal mucosal injury.The histopathological damage of jejunum was evaluated by HE staining ; the activity of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and diamine oxidase (DAO) was measured by kits ; the expression of tight junction protein (TJ) markers ZO-1,Occludin,Claudin-1 and proliferation-associated protein Ki-67 was detected by immunohistochemistry.Crypt isolation and organoid culture were used to detect the growth status of small intestinal organoids.
Results :
5-FU chemotherapy reduced body weight,aggravated histopathological damage in small intestine,decreased SOD level,TJ protein and Ki-67 protein expression,increased serum DAO level,decreased spherical structure formation rate and organoid formation rate ; compared with the model group,after ATPS treatment,WT mice recovered body weight,decreased pathological damage,increased serum SOD level,TJ protein and Ki-67 protein expression,DAO levels decreased,and the rates of spherical structure for- mation and organoid formation were significantly higher.However,ARRB1 -/ - mice failed to reverse the effect of 5- FU after ATPS treatment.
Conclusion
ATPS reverses 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis through the protective effects of ARRB1 on intestinal barrier and organoid growth.

Objective:
To investigate the reversal effect of cinobufagin ( CINO) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5- FU) on human colorectal cancer ( CRC) drug-resistant cell line HCT15 /5-FU,and to clarify the regulatory role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1 α) / vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway in reversing chemoresistance of colorectal cancer.
Methods :
MTT assay was used to detect the changes of drug resistance and drug resistance index,flow cytometry was used to evaluate the apoptosis of cells ,scratch test and Transwell assay were used to detect the changes of cell migration and invasion ability.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins and HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway-related proteins.
Results:
Compared with HCT15 cells,the resistance index of HCT15 /5-FU was about 8. 720. CINO combined with 5-FU could significantly enhance the drug sensitivity of HCT15 /5-FU cells,reduce drug resistance index,up-regulate the level of apoptosis,and inhibit cell migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner.Western blot results showed that CINO combined with 5-FU could inhibit the activity of EMT and HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway.
Conclusion
CINO can reverse 5-FU resistance of colorectal cancer in vitro,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway and the inhibition of EMT and angiogenesis.
