BackgroundBigbag intraocular lens (IOL),due to its special conducive design to support vitreous and retina after cataract surgery in high myopia,and ensure the visualization of peripheral retinal,is closely concerned.But whether its concave design has the advantage in reducing aberrations on the basis of stability or not is worth to be studied.ObjectiveThis study was to evaluate the high order aberrations(HOA) of phacoemulsification and the Bigbag IOL implantation in patients with myopia and cataract.MethodsA retrospective case-observational study was designed.Total 39 eyes of 39 cases with cataract and high myopia were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into Bigbag IOL group and AR40e IOL group.Phaco-chop technique and IOL implantation were performed in April to June,2010 in Tianjin Eye Hospital.Two months after surgery,the operated eyes were clinical examined and the aberrations were detected including Root-Mean-Square (RMS),coma,spherical and Trefoil.Postoperative RMS values of HOA components of the whole and interior optic with iTrace were compared.Results The operation was smoothly with the correct IOL position after two months.No complication was found.Under the 4.5 mm pupil diameters,the whole ocular HOA RMS values and coma were significantly different between Bigbag IOL group and AR40e IOL group( t =-3.296 、-3.322,P＜0.05 ),but no significant differences were seen in spherical and Trefoil aberrations ( t =- 1.256、- 0.573,P＞ 0.05 ).Regarding to the interior optic with iTrace aberration,only the coma showed the significant difference between Bigbag IOL group and A R40e IOL group( t =-2.004,P＜0.05 ),and there were no significant differences in RMS,spherical and Trefoil aberrations( t=-1.073、0.380、0.288,P＞0.05 ).ConclusionsThe Bigbag IOL,a design for high myopia,is safe and effective after implant for the high myopia with cataract.It offers more exact obligate degree and better visual quality.The chief total and interior HOA components difference between groups is coma aberration.

Background The test for visual acuity is the conventional standard for evaluating visual quality.However,there is little correlation between visual acuity and visual disability.Therefore,other clinical observations such as contrast sensitivity or straylight have been used in the clinical assessment of visual quality after cataract surgery.Objective This study was to examine the change in the amount of straylight in cataractous eyes and to evaluate the correlation of the types of cataract with visual quality.Methods A non-randomized case-controlled study was designed.Eighty eyes of 40 patients with age-related cataract were enrolled in this study,including 22 eyes with hard nucleus cataract,19 eyes with cortical cataract,23 eyes with mixed cataract and 16 eyes with posterior subcapsular cataract diagnosed based on the criteria from Lens Opacities Classification System Ⅲ(LOCS Ⅲ).The values for straylight and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured with the C-quant straylight meter and Snellen chart,respectively.The differences in the straylight values among the different types of cataract were analyzed,and the correlation of the straylight value with age or BCVA was assessed.Forty eyes of 40 age-matched normal people served as controls.Results Examination was completed in sixty-two eyes of 31 patients in the cataract group at a completion rate of 77.5％,and all the subjects in the control group finished the examination at a rate of 100％.The mean straylight value was (2.06±0.88) log in the cataract group and (1.96±0.42) log in the control group,showing a significant difference between them (t =3.251,P＜0.01).The respective mean C-quant measurements for hard nucleus cataract,cortical cataract,nuclear-cortical cataract and posterior subcapsular cataract patients were (1.96±0.42) log,(1.91 ±0.16) log,(2.05 ±0.19) log and (2.48 ±0.66) log,respectively,with a significant difference among these four groups (F =2.156,P =0.019).The highest straylight value was detected in the posterior subcapsular cataract group.The straylight value was enlarged with the increase of age with a regression equation of Y=0.0010X+ 1.025 in the hard nucleus cataract group (r =0.455,P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the negative linear correlation was found between the straylight value and BCVA in both the hard nucleus cataract group and cortical cataract group (r=-0.590,-0.697,P＜0.01).However,no correlation was found in the mixed cataract group and posterior subcapsular cataract group (r =-0.240,-0.235,P＞0.05).Conclusions The C-quant straylight meter can objectively reflect the visual function for hard nucleus and cortical cataractous eye.Posterior subcapsular cataract produces straylight and exerts a great influence on visual quality due to early glare sensation,so it should be benefit to perform surgery earlier.

Objective To explore the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen (Mtb-Ag) on neutrophils apoptosis.Methods The fresh isolated neutrophils from healthy adults blood were cultured with Mtb-Ag for 24 h,with or without pretreatment of nuclear factor -?B (NF-?B) inhibitor N-tosyl-L-phenylanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) for 30 minutes.Annexin V staining and Flow cytometry were used to measure cell apoptosis of neutrophils.NF-?B DNA binding was measured by gelelectrophorestic mobility shift assay (EMSA) in neutrophils after incubated with Mtb-Ag for 0,1,2,4,6,24 hours.Results Comparing to the spontaneous apoptosis (55%?6%) of neutrophils after culture in vitro for 24 h,treatment of Mtb-Ag (1.125 mg/ml) decreased the cell apoptosis of neutrophils (32%?3%).The NF-?B shift bands were detected at 1 h in neutrophils after stimulated by Mtb-Ag,and reached maximum peak at 2 hours,and then returned to basal levels within 24 h.Pretreatment of TPCK inhibited the anti-apoptosis role of Mtb-Ag in neutrophils.Conclusion Mtb-Ag prevents neutrophils apoptosis and its inhibitory role concerns NF-?B pathway.

OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetics of heat shock protein 65-mucin 1 (HSP65-MUC1) recombinant fusion protein vaccine in Macaca mulatta monkeys and tumor-bearing mice. METHODS HSP65-MUC1 was labeled by radioactive isotope 125I. M. mulatta monkeys were randomly divided into sc and iv administration groups. Simultaneously, sc administration group was designed as a multiple dose group in which M. mulatta monkeys were sc given [ 125I] HSP65-MUC1 40 μg·g-1, once every 2 weeks for a total of 3 times. Size exclusion chromatography ( SEC) was used to determine concentrations of HSP65-MUC1 in serum samples. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8 and 24 h groups. Mice were sc given [125I] HSP65-MUC1 550 μg·kg-1, tissues were collected and tissue distribution of [125I] HSP65-MUC1 in tumor-bearing mice was studied using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitation method. RESULTS The absolute bioavailability of [125I]HSP65-MUC1 was 38.33% after M. mulatta monkeys were sc given [125I]HSP65-MUC1. In multiple dose group, concentrations of [125I]HSP65-MUC1 after the third dose administration was compared to that of the first dose administration. The accumulation factor (AUC3/AUC1) was 1.17 ±0.25. Distribution of [ 125I]HSP65-MUC1 was significantly different compared with general polypeptide and protein drugs after sc in tumor-bearing mice. The concentration in lymph nodes was the highest. The concentration in other immune tissues, such as thymus and spleen, were not relatively high, but their declined tendency was slow after reaching the peak concentration (cmax ). However, the concentrations in the serum and some other tissues with a large blood volume, such as the heart, liver, and lung, were relatively low and declined quickly after reaching cmax. Its level in the tumor was not very high. [125 I] HSP65-MUC1 was excreted mainly by the kidneys. CONCLUSION The bioavailability of [125I]HSP65-MUC1 is 38.33% after sc administration in M. mulatta. After multiple-dose administration, the vaccine does not accumulate in the body, whose concentration is the highest in lymph nodes after [1251] HSP65-MUC1 was sc given in tumor-bearing mice, but is not very high in tumor. Besides, the vaccine declined tendency is slow after reaching cmax in immune tissues such as thymus and spleen compared with other tissues with a large blood volume.

Objective To verify the feasibility and accuracy in the measurement of tricuspid valve annulus diameter(TVD) in the right ventricular outflow tract view.Methods Seventy five patients under the valve replacement surgery for the left heart valve lesions were divided into mild,moderate and severe group according to the severity of the regurgitation.The TVD was get on the apical four-chamber heart viewpreoperatively by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE),noted as TTE-TVD,meanwhile it was also get by the transesophageal echocardiography on the four-chamber view (TEE-TVD),right ventricular inflow (RVIT-TVD) and outflow tract view(RVOT-TVD).The changes of tricuspid regurgitation severtity was observed preoperatively.And the morphology of tricuspid annulus were observed using both real-time three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT-3D TEE) and the quantitative software.Results Comparison in the groups:no statistically significant difference (P ＞0.05) was found between TTE-TVD,TEE-TVD and RVIT-TVD;while the RVOT-TVD was significant greater than that in the same group from other views (P ＜ 0.05).Comparison between the groups:no significant difference was found between mild and moderate regurgitation group on the same view.There was a significant difference of the TVD between the severe regurgitation group and the former two groups on each view(P ＜0.05).The severity of tricuspid regurgitation in intraoperative anesthesia was reduced.The saddle tricuspid ring evolved into the narrow planar structure on the RT-3D TEE.For the expansion of the annulus,it departure from the tricuspid septal leaflet.Conclusions TVD measured on the right ventricular outflow tract view reflect the maximum expansion of the tricuspid valve annulus diameter,and can effectively guide the decision-making choices of the surgeon.

Objective To explore the migration and differentiation of the human neural stem cells (hNSC) after being transplanted to the neonatal rat lateral ventricle,to provide some data on therapy for neonatal cerebropathy by using of neural stem cells.Methods N2 medium containing EGF+FGF2+LIF was used to culture the NSC spheres from the forebrain tissues of aborted human fetus.The hNSC was identified by detecting the NSC marker nestin antigen and showing the potency to differentiate into neural cells( including astrocytes,oligodendrocytes and neurons)by using indirect immuno-fluorescence assay(IFA).The part of the hNSC in-vitro cultured for 14 d was digested to suspensions of cell.Cultured for 14 d, the hNSC in-vitro and the suspension were transplanted into the lateral ventricles of the neonatal rat brains.The rats were respectively killed at 24,48 and 72 h respectively post-transplant,the whole brain was sectioned,and the special immuno-response detection was performed by using anti-human nuclei(anti-hNuc)and anti-human neurofilament(anti-hNF).Results In vitro culture,the typical NSC spheres were obtained from the forebrain of the human fetus.The suspensions of cells were obtained from the neurosphere.In neurosphere group, the results of anti-hNuc detecting tracing at 72 h post-injection showed that the grafts had migrated into the cortex grand layers of olfactory bulbus,medial precentral area of lobus frontalis,hippocampal,and lobus occipitalis.The label-positive cells lined along the Cerebellar Purkinje cell layers and appeared in most parts of mesencephalons.The immuno-respons results of anti-hNF showed that the positive cells scattered in the grand layer of cortex,the connection among positive cells was watched.In suspensions group,the results of anti-hNuc detecting tracing at 24 h post-injection show a great quantity of positive cells in the ventricles and injection track.At 72 h, a small quantity of positive cells remained in the ventricle and nearby brain tissue.Conclusions Whole neurospheres migrated intensely and differentiated into neurons and gliocytes.At the same time,transplants of cells from suspension transplants showed limited or no migration because of internal environment of the brain and construction of neurospheres.

Objective To study the changes of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase D (PC-PLD) enzyme activity of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) in high glucose and the effect of PLD on cytoskeleton. Methods Rats GMCs were cultured in high glucose(30 mmol/L) for 48 hours. PLD enzyme activity was measured by enzyme coupled colorimetry. PKC activity was measured by substrate phosphorylation, and fluorescence intensity of F-actin was observed by FITC-labeled antibody and laser scan cofocal microscopy (LSCM) . Results In high glucose, PLD and PKC activities were obviously elevated, but fluorescence intensity of F-actin was decreased and its cytoskeletal pattern was disassembly. After treatment with inhibtor of PLD, PKC activity was significantly decreased, and intensity and organization of F-actin were recovered. Conclusion Elevation of PLD activity induced by high glucose may influence the cytoskeleton and contraction of CMC through PKC pathway.
