High myopia is a common blinding eye disease with high specificity and population genetic heterogeneity.It has emerged as a major public health concern,which is often accompanied by many severe associated comorbidities,including retinal detachment,cataract and glaucoma.While rarely effective treatment Is found so far.This article reviews recent advances in understanding genetic mechanism of high myopia,such as mode of inheritance,MYP locus and candidate genes.

Objective To look for suitable short-term weight loss and long-term maintenance method for army cadres. Method A total of 142 patients with simple overweight and obesity were randomly selected as the research subjects, and were followed up for 2 years, 130 of them were valid for analysis, 97 were male, and 33 female, age 27-59 years, average(47.41±7.55)years. SPSS 16.0 was used for analysis. Repeated measurements analysis of variance was used for data analysis, K-related samples nonparametric test was used for enumeration data. Result The army cadres population weight intervention management model was divided into three stages. They were respectively intensified weight loss stage for 6 months, the consolidation of weight loss for 6 months, and self-management stage maintained for 12 months, totally 24 months. Variance analysis results showed that after two years of focused intervention and health management, the body mass index(BMI)fell from(27.42 ± 2.81)kg/m2 to(24.69 ± 2.63)kg/m2 (F=2 649.945, P<0.05), waist circumference decreased from(91.09±8.24)cm to(85.26±7.76)cm(F=1 207.248, P<0.05). Nonparametric test results showed that after two years intervention management the behavior patterns concerning physical exercise became better. Exercisers increased from 33.8%to 73.3%(H=68.448, P<0.05); proportion of smoking decreased from 38.5% to 20.0%(H=33.692, P<0.05); drinking alcohol decreased from 50.8%to 20.8%(H=59.128, P<0.05);high salt diet decreased from 39.2%to 23.1%(H=31.722, P<0.05);high-fat diet decreased from 46.2%to 27.7%(H=41.571, P<0.05). Conclusion The practice showed that the short-term intensified weight loss, long-term maintenance, exercise and psychological intervention, changed the cadres population from passive to active on the weight control and self-management with remarkable effects, therefore such intervention is worthy of promoting.

ObjectiveTo assess the value of quantitative tissue velocity imaging (QTVI) in monitoring the establishment of levothyroxine-induced cardiomyopathy models on rabbits.MethodsThirty New Zealand purebred rabbits were divided into experimental group (n=20) and control group (n= 10).Hyperthyroidism models were established by peritoneal injection of levothyroxine (L-Thy) in experimental group (45 μg/ [kg · d]).The same dose of saline was given to rabbits in control group for 4 weeks.QTVI and conventional echocardiographic parameters were obtained at the beginning day and 1,2,4 weeks in two groups.According to the changes of ultrasound parameters,the rabbits of experimental group were divided into two subgroups:Concentric hypertrophy (CH) subgroup and eccentric hypertrophy (EH) subgroup.ResultsAt the first week,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),fractional shortening (LVFS),mitral inflow peak velocity (E),average mitral annularsystolic peak velocity (Vs) and acceleration (a) increased obviously than before injection in experimental group (P＜0.01).At the second week,posterior wall thickness at end diastole (PWTd),interventricular septal thickness at end diastole (IVSTd) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) increased obviously than before injection in experimental group and control group (P＜0.05),and the average mitral annular early diastolic velocity (Ve) was significantly lower (P＜0.01).Compared with control group,the average Ve was significantly lower in CH subgroup (P＜0.01),while LVEF,LVFS,average Vs,a and average Ve were significantly lower in EH subgroup (P＜0.01).ConclusionQTVI is valuable in the assessment of establishing levothyroxine-induced cardiomyopathy models on rabbits.

Objective:To explore the distribution characteristics of respiratory pathogens in patients with community-acquired pneumonia in Lianyungang.Methods:A total of 612 patients admitted to the second people′s Hospital of Lianyungang City because of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in 2019 were selected as subjects. Sputum or pharyngeal swabs were collected to extract nucleic acids, and 13-fold nucleic acids of respiratory pathogens were detected by PCR capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis. SPSS statistical software and GraphPad5.0 statistical mapping software were used for statistical analysis.Results:The physical examination rate of respiratory pathogens in the adult group was 82.0% in winter, 48.4% in spring, 28.0% in autumn, 20.0% in summer, χ 2=38.473, P=0.000. The positive rate of nucleic acid detection was significantly different in different seasons, among which the physical examination rate of respiratory pathogens in winter was the highest. The physical examination rate of respiratory pathogens in the juvenile group was 86.0% in spring, 76.2% in winter, 71.3% in summer and 66.7% in autumn, χ 2=7.946, P=0.047 . The positive rate of nucleic acid detection was calculated according to gender grouping. The comparison of nucleic acid positive rate between adult group and juvenile group in different seasons: 86.0% vs 48.4% in spring, χ 2=19.436, P=0.000; 71.3% vs 20.0% in summer, χ 2=22.180, P=0.000; 66.7% vs 28.0% in autumn, χ 2=13.485, P=0.000; 76.2% vs 82.0% in winter, χ 2=0.758, P=0.384. Except in winter, the detection rate of nucleic acid of pathogens in the juvenile group was significantly higher than that in the adult group. Conclusions:The nucleic acid detection rate and etiological distribution characteristics of respiratory pathogens are different in patients with community-acquired pneumonia in different seasons and different age groups. 13 kinds of multiple detection methods of respiratory pathogens can provide favorable laboratory data support for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical CAP patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of intravitreal injection of fibrillin-2(FBN2)recombinant protein on FBN2-deficient retinopathy.Methods Thirty-two SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:nor-mal control group,negative control group,FBN2 knockdown group,and FBN2 recombinant protein group,with 8 mice in each group.The right eyes were taken as the experimental eyes.Mice in the normal control group did not receive any inter-vention,mice in the negative control group were intravitreally injected with 3 μL empty vector(1 mg·L-1),and mice in the FBN2 knockdown group and FBN2 recombinant protein group were intravitreally injected with 3 μL adeno-associated vi-rus(1 mg·L-1).After 4 weeks,mice in the FBN2 recombinant protein group were intravitreally injected with 3 μL FBN2 recombinant protein(1 mg·L-1).Then,electroretinogram(ERG)and optical coherence tomography(OCT)were used to measure the amplitude of Rod-b and Max-a waves and the changes in the retinal structure.Real-time quantitative poly-merase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot were used to detect changes in FBN2,microfibril-associated glycopro-tein 2(MAGP-2),collagen I(COL1)mRNA and protein expression in the mouse retina.Results The ERG findings showed that compared with the negative control group and normal control group,the amplitude of Rod-b and Max-a waves in the retina of mice in the FBN2 knockdown group and FBN2 recombinant protein group decreased(all P＜0.05);com-pared with the FBN2 knockdown group,the amplitude of Rod-b and Max-a waves in the retina of mice in the FBN2 recom-binant protein group significantly increased(both P＜0.05).The OCT findings showed that compared with the FBN2 knock-down group,the structure of the retinal pigment epithelium and the light reflex in the FBN2 recombinant protein group be-came more regular.The RT-PCR detection results showed that compared with the FBN2 knockdown group,the expression of FBN2 mRNA in the retinal tissue of mice in the FBN2 recombinant protein group significantly increased,while the ex-pression of COL1 and MAGP-2 mRNA significantly decreased(all P＜0.05).Western blot assay results showed that com-pared with the FBN2 knockdown group,the expression of FBN2 protein in the retinal tissue of mice in the FBN2 recombi-nant protein group increased significantly,while the expression of COL1 and MAGP-2 proteins decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Intravitreal injection of FBN2 recombinant protein can compensate for the endogenous deficiency of FBN2 in mice with FBN2-deficient retinopathy and achieve therapeutic effects by regulating COL1 and MAGP-2 expres-sion.

Objective:To investigate the expression of latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein (LTBP), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin D2 (CCND2) in fibrillin-2 ( FBN2) interfering induced mouse retinopathy. Methods:Twenty-seven 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group, empty vector group and FBN2 interference group according to the random number table method, with 9 mice in each group.The normal control group was not treated.The empty vector group and FBN2 interference group were intravitreally injected with 3 μl empty vector and 3 μl adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying the sh-FBN2 interference plasmid in the right eye, respectively.The structural and functional changes of the retina were detected at 4 weeks after injection by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and full-field electroretinography (ERG).The expression and distribution of FBN2 protein in the retina were detected by immunofluorescence staining.The mRNA and protein expression levels of FBN2, LTBP-1, TGF-β2, CDK2 and CCND2 in mouse retina were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot.All experiments complied with the ARVO statement.The research scheme was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.2019036).Results:Four weeks after injection, the results of OCT examination showed that compared with normal control and empty vector groups, the retinal pigment cortex of the FBN2 interference group was irregular with high density reflection areas.Full-field ERG results showed that compared with normal control and empty vector groups, the amplitude of Rod-a, Rod-b, Max-a and Max-b waveforms in FBN2 interference group decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05).The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that FBN2 was expressed in the whole retina, and the fluorescence intensity of FBN2 was weaker in FBN2 interference group than that in normal control and empty vector groups.The fluorescence intensity of FBN2 in normal control group, empty vector group and FBN2 interference group was 16.21±2.21, 15.57±3.63 and 5.32±1.06, respectively, with a statistically significant overall difference ( F=66.03, P<0.05).The fluorescence intensity of FBN2 protein in FBN2 interference group was significantly lower than that in empty carrier group and normal control group (both at P<0.05).Compared with normal control and empty vector groups, the relative expression levels of LTBP-1 and TGF-β2 mRNA and protein were significantly increased in FBN2 interference group, while the relative expression levels of FBN2, CDK2 and CCND2 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:The increase of LTBP-1 and TGF-β2 and the decrease of G1/S phase related proteins CDK2 and CCND2 are involved in the development of FBN2-deficient retinopathy.
