Objective To explore the regularity of damage of anti-lipid peroxidation by air pollutants, and to provide experimental basis for revealing the pathogenetic mechanism of air pollutants. Methods 80 Wistar rats weighting 180-200 g were randomly and averagely divided into 4 groups, ie control group, lower dose group, middle dose group and higher dose group, which were exposed to particulate, SO2 and NO2 respectively. The rats in lower dose group, middle dose group and higher dose group were perfused by 1 ml normal saline mixed with 7.5, 15 and 30 mg particulate respectively, while the rats in control group were only perfused with 1 ml normal saline. At the 2nd day after exposure to particulate, the rats in 3 dose groups were exposed to the mixed air of SO2 and NO2. The lower, middle, and higher dose group were exposed to mixed air of SO2 and NO2 at the concentrations as following: 8 and 5 mg/m3, 16 and 10 mg/m3, 32 and 20 mg/m3 respectively while the control group was exposed to fresh air two hour per day, continuously for 7 days. Half of the rats in each dose group were killed at the 1st day after the 7-day exposure to SO2 and NO2 , the rest were killed at the 8th day after the 7-day exposure to SO2 and NO2 . The contents of MDA, the activities of GST and SOD in serum, the activities of SOD and the contents of MDA in BALF were measured. Results At the 1st day after the exposure to SO2 and NO2 , lower activities of SOD and GST, and higher contents of MDA in serum of rats were observed in higher dose group compared with those in control group. At the 8th day after the exposure to SO2 and NO2 , significantly lower SOD activities were still observed in higher dose group compared with those in control group. It revealed that higher concentrations of air pollutants could decrease the activities of anti-oxidase and increase the contents of lipid peroxides in serum of rats. However, the SOD activities in BALF showed no significant differences among different dose groups at different time during the exposure period. Higher contents of MDA in BALF of rats were observed in higher dose group at the first day after the exposure to SO2 and NO2 , and in middle and higher dose group at the 8 th day after the exposure to SO2 and NO2 compared with those in control group (P

AIM:To explore and compare effect of coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification in the treatment of cataract.
METHODS:A total of 88 patients(88 eyes) with senile cataract who underwent selective cataract ultrasonic emulsification resorption combined with intraocular lens implantation in the hospital from Aug. 2013 and Aug. 2015 were selected, they were divided randomly into the control group ( 44 cases, 38 cases completed, 6 cases dropped out ) and the observation group ( 44 cases, 40 cases completed, 4 cases dropped out ) . The control group received standard coaxial 3. 0mm small incision phacoemulsification, the observation group received coaxial 1. 8mm micro-incision phacoemulsification. All patients were combined with intraocular lens implantation. Intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy, best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery in the two groups were recorded, corneal endothelium cell population, incision corneal thickness, percentage of cornea hexagon cell, corneal astigmatism changes before the operation, 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation were compared.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy in the two groups(P>0. 05). There was no significant difference in postoperative best corrected visual acuity between the two groups(P>0. 05). Corneal endothelium cell population, percentage of cornea hexagon cell 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment ( P < 0. 05 ), but there was no significant difference in the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Incision corneal thickness 30d after the operation in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05). Degree of corneal astigmatism in the observation group 1d, 7d, and 30d after the operation were significantly lower than the control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Coaxial micro - incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification can improve visual acuity of cataract patients, but the former can reduce degree of corneal astigmatism.

Objective To study the ultra-structural features of interstitial cajal cells (ICC)in fetal enteron and then classify them.Methods Ultra-structural features of ICC in fetal enteron with spontaneous abortion or premature birth were detected under JEM-2000EX transmission electron microscope for the cause of fetal death, including two fetus specimens of a gestation 18 months and 28 months stained with lead nitrate and uranium acetate.Results ICC had a big oval karyon and a little of cytoplasm. ICC formed spindle or stellate cells with 2 to 5 long cell processes . From the esophagus to the terminal ileum ICC mostly had the same ultra-structural features, but with mitochondria and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex in the whole colon and the rectum , more than those of esophagus and small intestine. In the whole colon and rectum ICC had similar ultra-structural features. ICC also possessed an abundance of mitochondria and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. ICC also possessed Caveloae lipid droplet with more electron dense and heterochromatin. Two types of ICC were identified under JEM-2000EX transmission electron microscope. One type was present from the esophagus to the terminal ileum and the other type was observed in the colon and rectum. The first type ICC in circular muscle layer was bipolar cells which extended to tapering processes in opposite directions. These processes rarely branched, and their appearance was similar to smooth muscle cells.Most of them ran parallel to the circular muscles . The second type of ICC in the myenteric plexus and longitudinal muscle layer was mostly multipolar and rarely bipolar cells with long processes. They showed an irregular appearance characterized by numerous short spike-like branches. Processes of multipolar cells extended in every direction and connected with each other. ICC nerve cells and smooth muscle cells were connected with gap-like junction, which was the main connection mode .Conclusions The ultra-structural features of ICC in fetal enteron varied with the diffe-rent locus and different tissue sheets in the enteron. The mitochondria and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex of the whole colon and rectum are more and more developed than that of esophagus and small intestine. Ultra-structural features of ICC will develop further with the gestational age. The gap- like junction among ICC nerve cell and smooth muscle cell are highly important for ICC to educe function.

Objective To investigate the effects of zinc gluconate combined with Danshen injection on the plasma lipid level following exposure to noise in rats. Methods Fifty female SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a noise exposure group (model group), a zinc gluconate + noise exposure group (zinc gluconate group), a Danshen injection+noise exposure group (Danshen injection group) and a zinc gluconate+Danshen injection+noise exposure group (combination group), 10 rats in each group. The zinc gluconate group received intragastric administration of zinc gluconate 8-10 mg/(kg?d), the Danshen injection group received intraperitoneal injection of Danshen injection 6 mg/(kg?d), the combination group received intragastric administration of zinc gluconate 8-10 mg/(kg?d) and intraperitoneal injection of Danshen injection 6 mg/(kg?d). On the day 10, except in the control group, the rats in the rest of the groups were continuously exposed to high frequency steady noise for 7 days (4 000 Hz, 95 dB, 3 h/d). The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected. Results The serum levels of TC (1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L vs. 1.55 ±0.09 mmol/L), TG (1.45 ± 0.38 mmol/L vs. 1.01 ± 0.27 mmol/L), LDL-C (0.29 ± 0.04 mmol/L vs. 0.23 ± 0.03 mmol/L) in the model group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05), while the serum HDL-C level in the model group were significantly lower than that in the control group (0.55 ± 0.08 mmol/L vs. 0.62 ±0.06 mmol/L;P<0.01). The serum TC level in the zinc gluconate group was significantly lower than that in the model group (1.71 ± 0.11 mmol/L vs.1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L;P<0.05). The serum levels of TC (1.73 ± 0.21 mmol/L vs. 1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L) and LDL-C (0.25 ± 0.03 mmol/L vs. 0.29 ± 0.04 mmol/L) in the Danshen injection group were significantly lower than those in the model group(all P<0.05). The serum levels of TC (1.57 ± 0.21 mmol/L vs. 1.88 ± 0.17 mmol/L), TG (0.84 ±0.40 mmol/L vs. 1.45 ± 0.38 mmol/L) and LDL-C (0.24 ± 0.05 mmol/L vs. 0.29 ± 0.04 mmol/L) in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the serum HDL-C level (0.61 ± 0.07 mmol/L vs. 0.55 ± 0.08 mmol/L) in the combination group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P<0.05). Conclusions Noise exposure may induce dyslipidemias in rats. Zinc gluconate and Danshen injection can regulate the plasma lipid level following exposure to noise in rats, and combination of zinc gluconate and Danshen injection may be superior to zinc gluconate or Danshen injection alone.

As induction chemotherapy goes on,target volume,dose distribution in the surrounding organs at risk (OARs),and target dose conformity all change.Therefore,the question is how to develop reasonable radiotherapy plans in clinical practice.Induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy is commonly used around the world,but it is recommended to delineate the target volume based on the gross tumor volume before induction chemotherapy and not to reduce the dose.This point of view lacks the basis of evidence-based medicine.The experts and scholars in China clarify the advantages of radiotherapy plans after induction chemotherapy from the aspects of reducing the target volume,reducing the volume of high-dose region in the target volume,increasing the uniform dose coverage in target volume,reducing dose to OARs,and increasing dose conformity.However,at present,there are no objective data on its long-term efficacy and benefit.Besides,no consensus has been reached on how to delineate the target volume and determine the dose distribution after induction chemotherapy,and further studies are needed.
