AlM:To investigate the expression transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and heat shock protein 47 (HSP-47), in pterygium and normal conjunctiva tissues, in order to study the roles of these cytokines played in the pathogenesis in human pterygium.
METHODS:The expression difference of TGF-β1, HSP-47 between human pterygium and normal conjunctive tissues were compared by immuno - histochemistry technique.
RESULTS:The positive expression of TGF-β1, HSP-47 was stronger than in normal conjunctive tissues ( P <0. 05), the TGF-β1 expressed in all layers of pterygium, especially in the squamous epithelium, in the inflammation cells and vascular endothelial cells also expressed. The HSP-47 showed higher expressed in the lamina propria layer of pterygium, and weakly expressed in epithelial layer, no obvious expression in normal conjunctive tissues.
CONCLUSlON:Over-expression of TGF-β1 and HSP-47 in pterygium compared to the normal conjunctiva tissues may play a critical role during the occurrence, development and invasion of the pterygium.

They were 82.5% in 1 year,67.3% in 2 years and 58.5% in 5 years,respectively.The overall survival rates in high grade cases of pathologic classification were 20.0% in chemotherapy alone,0 in radiotherapy alone, 52.6% in chemotherapy and radiotherapy(P

Objective:The topographical mapping technique of cortical evoked potential was used to observe the changes of the functional activities in the primary somatosensory area of cortex (SI) during external stimulation,the immanent relation between external stimulation and topographical mapping of cortical somatosensory evoked potential (CSEP). Methods:33 healthy adult volunteers were under observation. Cerebral electric signal processing system was used to lead CSEP on the scalp. The external stimulation was applied as following:①A soft paintbrush was used to slightly brush the face only. ②Paintbrush was used to slightly brush the lower limb only. ③Paintbrush was used to slightly brush the trunk only. ④Paintbrush was used to slightly brush the lower limb or the trunk or the Gallbladder Meridian (GBM) and passing the upper arm by imitating the speed of meridian transmission phenomenon respectively. Results:①Evoking responses appeared in the foot areas in SI,without meridian transmission phenomenon when brushing the face,lower limb or trunk only. ②Healthy volunteers were offered imitation of sensation conduction along the GBM as well as brushing through the upper arm in addition,while,the results showed that the evoking responses appeared in the foot,the upper arm and the face representation area of SI simultaneously. Conclusion:The external stimulation along the meridian course was able to change the distribution of evoking responses in SI during stimulating acupoint. But the local stimulating on face,lower limb or trunk can not change the distribution of CSEP. The results provided experimental evidence for the supposition that 'activation in sequence in periphery'was the decisive factor for the formation of meridian transmission phenomenon.

Aim To study the anti-itching and anti-hypersensitivity effects of Doxepin hydrochloride cream. Methods The effects of Doxepin hydrochloride cream on the pruritus of skin in mice due to 4-AP and guineapigs due to histamine phosphate were observed. The inhibitory actions of it on the increase of abdominal cavity capillary permeability in mice due to acetic acid and the angiectasis of skin in rats due to histamine were also observed. Its effects on the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) of mice due to 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzol (DNCB) and the homologous passive anaphylaxis of skin in rats were used to investigate its anti-hypersensitivity actions. Results The application of Doxepin hydrochloride cream (50, 125, 250 mg?kg -1) on the skin of mice had significant inhibitory actions on the pruritus of skin caused by 4-AP, and the application of Doxepin hydrochloride cream (10, 25, 50 mg?kg -1) on the skin of guinea pigs also had significant inhibitory actions on the pruritus of skin caused by histamine phosphate. The application of Doxepin hydrochloride cream (10,25,50 mg?kg -1 and 50,125,250 mg?kg -1) on skin inhibited the increase of skin capillary permeability in rats caused by histamine phosphate and the increase of abdominal cavity capillary permeability in mice caused by acetic acid. The application of Doxepin hydrochloride cream (50, 125, 250 mg?kg -1 and 10, 25, 50 mg?kg -1) on skin also significantly inhibited the delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice due to 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzol and the homogeneous cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats. Conclusions Doxepin hydrochloride cream can relieve itching,inhibit the increase of capillary permeability caused by inflammatory substances. It also has significant inhibitory actions on TypeⅠ and Type Ⅳ allergic reactions.

Objective To clone and express prokaryotic recombinant plasmid of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase (NTPase) gene of Toxoplasma gondii, and analyze its antigenicity. Method NTPase gene was amplified by PCR from RH strain of T. gondii and cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector. Positive clones were screened and identified by BglⅡ, HindⅢ digestion and sequenced. The target gene was then subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pBAD-HisB and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). The expressed recombinant protein was purified with Ni-NTA agarose and further analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting. Results NTPase-Ⅱ gene was specifically amplified, and the homology of DNA sequence was 100% to that in the GenBank. SDS-PAGE showed that the recombinant NTPase protein with correct molecular weight was expressed highly in E.coli BL21(DE3). Western blotting testified that the purified recombinant protein could be specifically recognized by mouse serum immunized with T. gondii and mouse anti-recombinant protein serum. Conclusion The NTPase-Ⅱ gene has been cloned and expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3), and the purified protein of NTPase-Ⅱ gene displays a specific antigenicity.

Objective : To explore the mediating effect of sleep quality on mobile phone dependence and loneliness in university students, so as to provide evidence for prevention and intervention of mobile phone dependence. Methods : A survey was conducted from December 2019 and January 2020 among the students of Guangzhou Medical University. The general information questionnaire, mobile phone dependence index scale, UCLA loneliness scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale were used to analyze the mediating effects of sleep quality on mobile phone dependence and loneliness. Results : A total of 575 questionnaires were distributed and 573 valid ones were collected, with an efficiency of 99.65%. The detection rate of 115 students with mobile phone dependence was 20.07%, and that of 203 students with sleep quality problems was 35.43%. The students scored ( 48.03±6.07 ) points in loneliness, and 405 of them had high level. Mobile phone dependence was positively correlated with loneliness and sleep quality ( r=0.299, 0.385, both P<0.05 ); loneliness was positively correlated with sleep quality ( r=0.553, P<0.05 ). Mobile phone dependence and sleep quality both could positively predict loneliness, mobile phone dependence could positively predict sleep quality, and sleep quality and gender had a significant interaction effect on loneliness ( all P<0.05 ). The mediating effect value of sleep quality on mobile phone dependence and loneliness was 0.290 ( 95%CI: 0.186-0.400 ) in males and 0.131 ( 95%CI: 0.084-0.187 ) in females. Conclusion Sleep quality has a mediating effect on mobile phone dependence and loneliness among university students. Male students are susceptible to the negative effects of mobile phone dependence.

Purpose To investigate the location and distribution of EV71 receptors scavenger receptor class B member 2 ( SCARB2 ) and human P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) in lung tissues of fatal hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), healthy children and adults. Methods The expression of EV71 receptors SCARB2 and PSGL-1 was detected by using immunohistochemistry in lung tissues of 15 autopsies of HFMD, 3 of healthy children, 8 of healthy adults. Results SCARB2 distributed in bronchial, bronchioli ep-ithelia, alveolar epithelial cells and inflammatory cells among HFMD, healthy children and adults. No significant difference was noted of the positive rates of SCARB2 expression among these three groups (P>0. 05). PSGL-1 distributed in bronchial and bronchioli epi-thelium of adults, but no PSGL-1 expression was found in HFMD and healthy children. The positive rates of PSGL-1 were 100%, 0, 0 in bronchial and bronchioli epithelium among the three groups, respectively (P<0. 05). The positive rates of PSGL-1 were 100%, 66. 7%, 100% in inflammatory cells among HFMD, healthy children and adults, respectively. No significant difference was noted of PSGL-1 expression among the three groups (P>0. 05). Further, no PSGL-1 expression was observed in alveolar epithelia cells of all groups tested. Conclusions EV71 receptor SCARB2 distributes in bronchial, bronchioli, alveolar epithelial and inflammatory cells of HFMD. Meanwhile, PSGL-1 only distributes in inflammatory cells of HFMD, suggesting that SCARB2 possibly plays a role on HFMD infection.
