AIM:To investigate the differences of clinical signs and pathological structure of unilateral nasal pterygium and unilateral double pterygium.METHODS:Retrospective study.Totally 11 unilateral nasal pterygium and 11 unilateral double pterygium were collected to observe the size of the tissue area, the classification of blood vessels, the transparency and the break-up time of tear film.The 11 surgically excised double pterygia (11 eyes) and 6 samples of normal conjunctiva were collected for the study.With 40g/L paraformaldehyde fixation, paraffin sections were stained with Haematoxylin-Eosin, to observe the differences with nasal and temporal pathology under light microscope.RESULTS:In unilateral double pterygium, the tear break-up time was significantly shorter than that of unilateral nasal pterygium (t=3.410, P=0.003).In unilateral nasal pterygium, there was a significant negative correlation between tear film break-up time and tissue size(r=-0.927, P<0.01) and transparency(r=-0.764,P<0.01).In unilateral double pterygium, the tear break-up time was significantly negatively correlated with the growth time (r=-0.661, P<0.05), tissue size (r=-0.775, P<0.01) and transparency (r=-0.671,P<0.05).In unilateral double pterygium, compared with the temporal side, the quantity of the layers of corneal epithelial cells (t=-7.351, P<0.05), vessels (t=-7.400, P<0.05) and inflammatory cells (t=-7.481, P<0.05) increased.CONCLUSION:Compared with unilateral nasal pterygium, the tear film break-up time of unilateral double pterygium was poor.In unilateral double pterygium, with high activity, the degree of proliferation of squamous epithelium, hyperplasia and inflammatory reaction are significantly higher than those of the temporal side.

The special environmental features of high altitude, such as hypobaric hypoxia, low temperature, arid, high solar radiation, variable climate and geochemical anomaly, cause great effects on human physiology and health. It will provide valuable references and new ideas to study drug's metabolism in special environment of high altitude hypoxia, and give the guidance to clinical reasonable medication, avoiding adverse reactions and personalized medicine in plateau areas. This article reviewed the effect of high altitude hypoxia on drug metabolism, elaborated metabolic characteristics of some drugs and the activity and expression of drug metabolism enzymes under hypoxia environment at high altitude, and discussed related mechanism.

Objective To research reducing capacity and identification of aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19. Methods Four factors three levels [L9(34)] orthogonal experiment was adopted to determine the best experimental condition for reducing capacity of aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19.The tests were conducted to study the reducing capacity to reduce nitrate in the presence of NO2-and NO3-. Partial 16S-rRNA analysis was used to identify aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19. Results The result of range analysis showed the best experiment condition of WXZ-15 aerobic denitrifier,in which COD/N was 10,rotating speed was 160 r/min,the inital NO2-concentration was 200 mg/L,initial pH was 7.5,and that of aerobic denitrifier WXZ-19,in which COD/N was 10,rotating speed was 160 r/min,inital NO2-concentration was 50 mg/L,initial pH was 7.5. Comparing experiment showed that the TN removing rates of aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19 were 85.65% and 45.23% respectively,using NO3-as nitrogen source. While the TN removing rates of aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19 were 52.32% and 35.40% respectively,using NO2-as nitrogen source. Conclusion Aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19 are Delftia tsuruhatensi and Pseudomonas putida respectively.The reducing capacity of aerobic denitrifiers WXZ-15 and WXZ-19 is strong.

AIM: To investigate the inhibition of the recombinant human endostatin adenavirus (Ad-Es) on the experimental choroidal neovascularization(CNV) models by intravitreous injection.METHODS: Experimental CNV models were induced by semiconductor laser in 30 male Brown Norway(BN) rats and randomly divided into 3 groups with 10 rats in each group.At 21d after photocoagulation, the single administration group were given intravitreous injection with Ad-Es 0.01mL;the repeated administration group were given intravitreous injection with Ad-Es 0.01mL and a repeated injection 7d later;the saline control group were given intravitreous injection with saline 0.01mL.At 7d after final administration, the leakage of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was observed.Various CNV areas were measured by using laser confocal microscopy of choroidal flatmount method.Pathology and ultrastructure were observed with light microscopy, the expressions of CD105 were measured by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: The leakage of CNV of the administration group abviously decreased as compared with those in the saline group, the leakage of repeated administration group decreased compared with that of single administration group (P<0.05).Laser confocal microscope quantitative CNV analysis showed that CNV area of the administration group was significantly smaller than that of control group, the area of repeated administration group was smaller than that of single administration group (P<0.05).Under the light microscope, the vascular endothelial cell number and quantity of the administration group were significantly lower than that of the control group, the cell number of repeated administration group was lower than that of single administration group.CD105 expression of the administration group was significantly weaker than that in the saline group;the expression of repeated administration group was weaker than that of single administration group.CONCLUSION: Ad-Es can effectively inhibit semiconductor laser induced CNV in BN rats, and the inhibition effect of repeated administration group is better than that of single administration group.It may be a useful new method in the treatment of CNV.
