Objective Study on the relations between Rh hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) and the influencing factors of producing anti-D. Methods D antigens of 32 RhD-negative pregnant women and their newborns are determined by indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) and absorption/elution test. With polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct genomic DNA sequencing, we detect the RHD gene in weak D pregnant women identified serologically, and we analyzed the situation of fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) of the D-negative women with more than 2 gestations with flow cytometry. Results Among 32 pregnant women of RhD-negative detected by first test, there are 18 pregnant women with two and more pregnancy. In these 18 pregnant women, 3 cases are identified as D el phenotype, 1 case is designated as D category VI type III, the rest 14 cases are truly D-negative pregnant women. Among the truly D-negative multi-pregnant women, 2 produce anti-D in sera and 13 are detected fetal erythrocytes in their peripheral blood by flow cytometry. However there are no anti-D detected in sera of D-negative first-pregnant women. Conclusion No anti-D allo-immune response were observed in all first-time pregnant women. In multi-pregnant women, however, 14.3% produce anti-D and result in HDN of Rh.

Background Excimer laser corneal refractive surgery is widely used because it reduces the dependency of refractive error eye to glasses.However,the adverse effects of anti-inflammatory drugs is a problem after operation.Lotemax eyedrops is a kind of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug,with a good effect on the operative eye.But its influence on intraocular pressure(IOP) after long-term topical administration is less studied.Objective This study was to investigate the influence of lotemax eyedrops on IOP after long-term topical administration in myopic eyes received excimer laser corneal refractive surgery.Methods An one-month retrospective case serial study was adopted.The case history data of 1552 eyes from 1552 Patients who received excimer laser corneal refractive surgery were collected in Tangshan Eye Hospital from 2011 January to 2012 January,including 321 eyes with laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK),608 eyes with sub-Bowman keratomileusis (SBK) and 623 eyes with femtosecond laser for flap excimer laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK).Lotemax eyedrops was topically administered after operation 4 times per day initial and then decreased 1 time weekly for 1 month.IOP was measured in before,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks after operation with non-contact tonometer.The increasing range of IOP was divided into ＜5 mmHg,5-15 mmHg and ＞ 15 mmHg after operation.Optical head parameters were measured by Heidelberg retina tomography when IOP increasing after operation.Results Within 1 month,elevated IOP was found in 47 of 1552 eyes after administration of lotemax eyedrops,including 3.12％ (10/321) in the LASIK group,3.29％ (20/608) in the SBK group and 2.73％ (17/623) in the FS-LASIK group,without significant difference among them(x2 =1.95,P＞0.05).The IOP elevated 1 week after operation and remained normal after that till drug withdrawal in all eyes.There were no significant differences in the disk area (1.65 ±0.44) mm2 vs.(1.66 ±0.44) mm2,disk volume (0.40 ±0.09)mm3 vs.(0.39±0.08) mm3 and mean nerve fiber layer thickness (0.28 ± 0.08) mm vs.(0.29 ± 0.07) mm in IOP elevation duration compared with 1 month after IOP recovery(t =0.34,0.81,0.48,P＞0.05).Conclusions Topical administration of 0.5％ lotemax eyedrops after excimer laser corneal refractive surgery leads to reversible high IOP.It is very important to monitor the IOP during use of the drug.

BACKGROUND:The linkage and synergistic effect of adaptor proteins can effectively regulate signal transduction of T cel s, which can form a limit or amplification cascade to realize the complex immune function of T cel s. C-terminal Src kinase (Csk)-binding protein (Cbp) is an adaptor protein, which mainly exert the negative feedback regulation of Src kinase activity. This negative feedback effect depends on Y317 of Cbp, which may be involved in the SH2 domain of Csk. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of high expression of Cbp on ultrastructure and related biological function of Jurkat cel s. METHODS:The virus particles were constructed with expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) only and Cbp-EGFP fusion protein to transfect Jurkat cel s. There were untransfected group (Jurkat group), negative control group (transfected with expression of EGFP virus only), and Cbp group (transfected with Cbp-EGFP virus). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Confocal microscope showed that cel transfection efficiency was more than 95%and Cbp was located on the cel membrane. Optical microscope showed after transfection with Cbp-EGFP virus, more Jurkat cel s shrunk, with poor size uniformity. Apoptosis detection showed that after transfection with Cbp-EGFP virus, the number of apoptotic and necrotic cel s was greatly increased. Cbp mRNA expression was increased, Csk expression was decreased obviously and lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase expression was increased. So, in Jurkat cel s, the high expression of Cbp can decrease the uniformity of cel s and increase the necrosis cel s, thus inhibiting the signal transduction.

Background Glial cells perform specialized function in many aspects of the development,homeostasis,and function of neurons.Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)and glia interactions are critically important in glaucomatous neurodegeneration.However,the precise mechanisms of glial activation and ganglion cells damage are still remained unclear. Objective This study was to assess the early responses of glial cells in the retina,optic nerve and optic chiasm in rat models of acute high intraocular pressure (IOP),and to examine the expression of nestin,a neuronal progenitor marker,in the reactive glias. Methods Acute high IOP of 110 mmHg was induced in the right eyes of 6 clean adult female Wistar rats by infusing normal saline solution into the anterior chamber for 60 minutes.Three normal matched Wistar rats were used as controls.The rats were sacrificed by overanaesthesia and sections of retina,optic nerve and optic chiasm were collected on 3 days and 7 days after the injection.Rat retina was examined by Nissl staining to illustrate the gross structure changes.Loss of axons of RGCs in the optic nerve was assessed by immunostaining of β Ⅲ-tubulin.Double labeling of glia] fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and nestin was performed in sections of retina,optic nerve and optic chiasm to evaluate the glial responses.The use of the animals complied with Statement of Animal Ethic Committee of Peking University Third Hospital. Results In control rats,GFAP-positive glial cells were observed in the retina,optic nerve and optic chiasm,where only weak positive response for nestin was noticed.Three days after acute IOP elevation,thickness of inner plexus form layer was significantlydecreased in comparison with the control rats.A loss of 46％ RGCs was found in the rats with ocular hypertension.Obvious increase of GFAP expression was displayed in the retina,and processes of GFAP-positive glia cells extended into outer retina accompanied with significant up regulation of nestin.Axons in the optic nerve demonstrated a tendency of degeneration.Nestin expression increased significantly in the GFAP-positive glias in the optic nerve.Cross-sectional area of optic chiasm corresponding to the injured retina decreased relative to its countcrpart.Astrocyte like GFAP and nestin-colabeled glials were observed in this part of optic chiasm.The pathological changes of the retina,optic nerve and optic chiasm in hypertensive eyes aggravated on 7 days. Conclusions Acute ocular hypertension induce early onset of RGCs loss and axon degeneration.Neuronal injury is accompanied with glial reaction.Reactive glial cells express neuronal progenitor markers.The structural changes of the optic nerve and optic chiasm occur simultaneously with the high IOP.

The aim of this study is to compare the contents of five types of anthraquinones which mainly includes chrysophanol, physcion, emodin, rhein and physcion and phenolic acids in ten different processed products from Rheum officinale, and to investigate the effect of different initial processing method on the contents of anthraquinones and phenolic acids. Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out by SPSS software to evaluate the quality of different processed products from Rh. officinale. In conclusion, the contents of anthraquinones in different processed products from Rh. officinale assume the certain regularity. Whether fresh-cut Rheum officinale Bail and how to dry it are derectly effect the contents of anthraquinones and phenolic compounds. The content of anthraquinones in rheum officinale of drying is obviously higher than smudging, and was more abundant in branch root than tap roots. Rh. officinale of drying which growed in Fengjie gained the highest score in PCA.
