The labeled compounds, CdTe was combined with anti-fluoranthene antibody, had good dispersion and stability with the fluorescence intensity enhancing. A direct competitive fluorescent immunoassay with CdTe-anti-fluoranthene antibody to detect fluoranthene in water sample in the environment was developed. The result showed that fluoranthene can be determined in the concentration range from 0.1 μg/L to 1000 μg/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9983, a sensitivity of (IC_(50)) of 12.4 μg/L and a detection limit (IC_(20)) of 13.1 ng/L. Trace environmental pollutant in environmental water samples were successfully determined with a good accuracy and suitability. The recovery was between 95.1% and 111.0%, with relative standard deviation less than 9%.

Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of the comprehensive therapy of"Five-in-One"of traditional Chinese medicine combined with low concentration of atropine in the pre-vention and control of myopia in adolescents.Methods Eighty adolescents diagnosed with mild myo-pia were included in the study.According to the wishes of the subjects and their guardians,they were divided into control group with 40 cases and traditional Chinese medicine intervention group with 40 cases.The control group received 0.01%atropine sulfate eye drops in both eyes once before bedtime every night,the traditional Chinese medicine intervention group underwent twice-weekly comprehen-sive therapy of"Five-in-One"of traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of local application of med-ication in the control group.Both groups received a 12-month intervention course.Follow-up visits were conducted before intervention and at 3,6,and 12 months after treatment.The international standard visual acuity chart was used to examine the changes in unaided distance visual acuity before and after treatment in both groups.The changes of distant visual acuity of naked eye before and after treatment were measured in two groups.The changes in equivalent spherical lens power before and after treatment in both groups were measured by mydriatic refraction combined with a computer op-tometer.The changes in axial length before and after treatment were measured using an optical bi-ometer.The adverse reactions after treatment in both groups were compared.Results In the con-trol group,the uncorrected distance visual acuity decreased compared with that before intervention as the treatment time prolonged,while was gradually increased in the traditional Chinese medicine intervention group compared with that before intervention(P<0.05).At 12 months after treat-ment,the uncorrected distance visual acuity in the traditional Chinese medicine intervention group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).With the prolongation of treatment time,the equivalent spherical lens power gradually increased in both groups(P<0.05).At 12 months after treatment,the equivalent spherical lens power in the traditional Chinese medicine intervention group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The axial length gradually increased with the prolongation of treatment time in both groups(P<0.05).At 6 and 12 months after treatment,the axial length in the traditional Chinese medicine intervention group was shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).After using 0.01%atropine,8 children in the control group developed outdoor photophobia symptoms;after treatment with the comprehensive therapy of"Five-in-One"of tradi-tional Chinese medicine combined with 0.01%atropine sulfate eye drops in the traditional Chinese medicine intervention group,4 children developed outdoor photophobia symptoms,but the symptoms disappeared after 2 weeks of medication.Conclusion The comprehensive therapy of"Five-in-One"in traditional Chinese medicine combined with low-concentration atropine is significantly more effective than low-concentration atropine alone in effectively controlling the progression of refractive myopia and reducing its adverse reactions.

AIM: To investigate the role of histidine-rich glycoprotein(HRG)in the neovascularization of diabetic retinopathy in rats.METHODS: Streptozocin(STZ)-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were utilized as an experimental model, the protein expression of HRG and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the retinas of normal(Wild type, WT)and diabetic(diabetic mellitus, DM)groups was detected using Western blot(WB). The protein expression of HRG in high-glucose-induced human retinal microvascular endothelial cells(hRMECs)was verified by WB after transfection with HRG small interfering RNA(siRNA)low-expression sequences. The optimal si-HRG#298 sequence was selected for further experiments. In the animal experiment, HRG gene silencing was achieved using an adeno-associated virus(AAV)vector, with AAV2-sh-NC and AAV2-sh-HRG#298 serving as the HRG gene silencing group and the HRG empty vector control group, respectively. The protein expression of HRG and VEGF in each group was then detected by WB following the verification of HRG protein expression. Retinal structural changes were observed by HE staining, and neovascularization changes were observed by PAS staining.RESULTS: HE staining found that the retinal structure in the DM group was disordered, the number of cells in the ganglion cell layer decreased, the number of cells in the inner and outer nuclear layers decreased, and the total retinal thickness also decreased(P<0.05); cellular capillaries were significantly increased in DM rats observed by PAS staining(P<0.05); the protein expression of HRG and angiogenesis factor VEGF was up-regulated in the retina of DM group(P<0.05); the protein expression of HRG was significantly downregulated in high glucose-induced hRMECs(P<0.05); the inhibition of neovascularization in diabetic retinas and the downregulation of VEGF protein expression were achieved through HRG gene silencing(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: HRG promotes neovascularization in the retinas of diabetic rats, and HRG gene silencing can inhibit neovascularization.
