Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2017;44(5):461-465
Objective To analyze the chemical constituents of kumquat essential oil(KEO)and the acute toxicity of KEO in mice. Methods The chemical constituents of KEO were analyzed by GC-MS. After preliminary test, KM mice were randomly divided into control and KEO groups with 20 mice in each group(10 male and 10 female). The doses of KEO were designed with ratio 0.758 between the 100% and 0% mortality amount as 10, 7.60, 5.70, 4.40, 3.30 and 2.50 ml/kg. The acute toxicity was evaluated by examination of the mice for 14 days after single administration of KEO. Results The principal constituents in KEO were α-pinene(0.46%), β-phellandrene(0.11%), β-myrcene(2.34%), D-limonene(95.62%), geranyl acetate(0.10%), β-copaene(0.67%), and γ-elemene (0.13%), which accounted for 99.43% of the total chemical content of KEO. The half-lethal dose(LD50)of KEO in mice by the acute toxicity test was 6.24 ml/kg with the 95% confidence limit of(5.39-7.33)ml/kg in female mice and 5.73 ml/kg with the 95% confidence limit of(4.91-6.79)ml/kg in male mice. The possible toxic target organs were liver, spleen and gastrointestinal tract. Conclusion KEO with the content of D-limonene was obtained from kumquat for the first time, and the toxicity of the KEO was low according to the toxicity classification standard of World Health Organization.
6.Effects of axial length and corneal curvature on corneal biomechanics in elderly population
International Eye Science 2017;17(5):802-808
AIM:To explore the corneal biomechanical properties of the elderly with different axial length(AL)and corneal curvature by Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology(Corvis ST).
METHODS: A cross-sectional study. A total of 220 patients(426 eyes)undergoing phacoemulsification were collected in this study. One of them whose the AL was 22-24 mm and the corneal curvature was 42-44 D were divided into male and female groups(44 eyes and 49 eyes, respectively). One of them whose the corneal curvature was 42-44 D were divided into 22-24 mm, 24-26 mm, and more than 26 mm groups according to AL(99 eyes, 22 eyes and 12 eyes, respectively). One of them whose the AL was 22-24 mm were divided into 42-44 D, and more than 44 D according to corneal curvature(88 eyes, 102 eyes, respectively). Corvis ST was used to measure the biomechanical parameters of the cornea. The differences in the parameters between different groups were analyzed using the independent-samples t-test or one-way analysis of variance and correlation analyses were performed using Pearson correlation analysis.
RESULTS: When comparing the corneal biomechanical parameters, no statistically significant differences were found between male and female groups(P>0.05). The first applanation length and second applanation length among different corneal curvatures were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was statistically significant only for the difference of the second applanation length and central cornea thickness between two groups of 22-24 mm and 24-26 mm(P<0.05). There was statistically significant for the difference of the second applanation length, deformation amplitude, central cornea thickness, the first applanation time, intraocular pressure and corrected intraocular pressure between the two groups of 22-24 mm and more than 26 mm(P<0.05). But there was no statistically significant differences of the parameters between groups of 24-26 mm and more than 26 mm(P>0.05). The patient's AL was positively correlated with deformation amplitude, intraocular pressure and corrected intraocular pressure(r=0.263, P=0.002; r=0.463, P=0.000; r=0.449, P=0.000), and there is negative correlation between the patient's AL and central cornea thickness, the second applanation length(r=-0.240, P=0.006; r=-0.344, P=0.000).
CONCLUSION: The corneal curvature and ocular AL may be the factor affecting the corneal biomechanical properties. The longer AL, the thinner corneal thickness, the more easily the corneal is deformed, and with the increase of the AL, intraocular pressure also increases. When discussing whether the preparation of the cataract incision is affected by the patient's own factors, the different corneal curvatures and AL shall be considered.

This study aimed to explore Semaphrin4D (Sema4D) expression and clinical significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to define the roles and mechanisms of Sema4D in regulating the malignant behaviors of A549 cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Firstly, immunohistochemistry revealed that Sema4D was more frequently expressed in NSCLC than in lung benign lesion (P<0.05) and its overexprssion was associated with low differentiation (P<0.05), poor pTNM staging (P<0.05) and occurrence of lymph node (LN) metastasis (P<0.05). Endogenous Sema4D expression was suppressed by Sema4D siRNA in A549 cells overexpressing Sema4D. Protein levels of Sema4D, total Akt and p-Akt were examined by Western blotting. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities were measured by MTT assay and Transwell assay respectively. Results showed that Sema4D siRNA significantly suppressed phosphorylation of AKT in A549 cells, but it did not alter total AKT expression. In addition, efficient down-regulation of SemaD significantly inhibit cell proliferation (P<0.05), migration (P<0.05) and invasion (P<0.05) in A549 cells. These findings suggest that Sema4D might serve as a reliable tool for early prediction of NSCLC poor prognosis. Sema4D could play an important role in promoting tumor proliferation, migration and metastasis in the NSCLC, by influencing the Akt protein phosphorylation. Inhibition of Sema4D may be a useful approach for the treatment of NSCLC.
