Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is an important negative costimulatory molecule discovered in recent years, which is expressed on the surface of T and B cells and plays an important role in the regulation of cellular immune response and immune tolerance.After the combination of PD-1 and its receptor programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), negative regulatory signals are transmitted to suppress the immune response.Under the activation of stimulating factors, PD-1 and PD-L1 are combined to weaken the conduction of downstream signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt and ERK through recruitment of phosphorylated SHP2, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of T cells and the production of cytokines, inhibiting the immune response and participating in the occurrence and development of a large number of inflammatory diseases.PD-1 in the field of ophthalmology research is still in its infancy.As far as we know, PD-1 participates in ocular inflammatory diseases such as uveitis, sympathetic ophthalmia, allergic conjunctivitis, also is involved in corneal transplant rejection, optic nerve crush injury and optic myelitis, diabetic retinopathy, thyroid related ophthalmopathy, melanoma and other diseases, thus preventing the interactions between PD-1 and its receptor PD-L1 may become a new potential target for the treatment of ocular tumor, inflammation, autoimmune and neurodegeneration disease.In this article, the latest research progress of PD-1 and its receptor PD-L1 in the pathogenesis of ocular diseases were reviewed.

Objective To investigate the expressions of RTN4 and TG2 in papillary thyroid cancer tissues and their clinical pathological significance.Methods A total of 40 samples of papillary thyroid cancer tissues and 20 samples of para‐carcinoma tissues were collected from the Department of Pathology ,Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University ,China.The expression levels of RTN4 and TG2 were detected by means of immunohistochemical staining and their relationship with clinicopathological charac‐teristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma was analyzed.SPSS 13.0 soft package was used for one‐way analysis of variance and SNK test of the average absorbance and the average positive area rate (α=0.05).Bivariate correlation analysis of the positive area rate of the expressions of RTN4 and TG2 was conducted (α=0.05).Results ①The expression levels of RTN4 and TG2 were much higher in the papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues than those in the para‐carcinoma tissues (P<0.05). ② The expres‐sion levels of RTN4 and TG2 were significantly higher in lymph node metastasis group than those in the group without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).The positive expression rates of RTN4 and TG2 were much higher in clinical stage Ⅰand Ⅱ groups than those in clinical stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups (P<0.05).They were significantly increased in low differentiation group than in high or moderate differentiation group (P< 0.05).The expressions of RTN4 and TG2 were not statistically associated with tumor size ,age and sex (P>0.05). ③The positive correlation was found between the expressions of RTN4 and TG2 in papilla‐ry thyroid carcinoma tissues (r=0.587 ,P<0.05).Conclusion ① The expressions of RTN4 and TG2 were up‐regulated in pa‐pillary thyroid carcinoma tissues ,which is related with over‐proliferation and increase of apoptosis resistance of cancer cells. ②RTN4 and TG2 play an important role in the proliferation and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. ③ RTN4 and TG2 may play a synergistic role in the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

In response to problems from the development of multi-drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria,it is urgent to find new antimicrobials.Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs) are a kind of ideal new antimicrobials with the advantages including their potential for broad-spectrum activity,rapid bactericidal activity and low propensity for resistance development,and have a bright future.Alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides are a main kind of AMPs.The following features was reviewed and elucidated including the structure and activity relationship(SAR) from different aspects including the degree of helicity,hydrophobic moment,hydrophobicity,net positive charges and so on,and the application of SAR on the molecular design and improvement of AMPs.

The article retrospectively analyzes the clinical characteristics and prevention measures of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections after renal transplantation in 395 patients from Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. All patients received preventive treatment of CMV infections and pneumocystis carinii infections in three months after renal transplantation. CMV infections occurred in 24 of 395 patients. The patients with viremia were treated with Ganciclovir or foscarnet sodium. The patients with severe infections (eg. severe pulmonary infections) should be treated with decrease dosage of immunosuppressive drugs, even stop administration. Then the immunosuppressive drugs were adopted again if the infections were controlled. Twenty-four patients obtained the satisfied efficacy. The results suggested that evaluation of the risk for CMV infections before transplantation, preventive treatment in early time after transplantation, measurement of clinical epidemiology, early diagnosis, and individual medication scheme of immunosuppressive drugs for patients should be effective to prevent and against CMV infections. And they also played an important role in preventing acute allograft rejection after renal transplantation and protecting the function of the graft.
