AlM: To explore the clinical application effect of phacofragmentation combined with vitrectomy in the treatment of traumatic lens dislocation.
METHODS:Totally 16 cases (16 eyes) of traumatic lens dislocation treated with phacofragmentation combined with vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed, including 6 cases of high intraocular pressure ( lOP) and 10 cases of vitreous hemorrhage, and 1 case of retinal detachment. All patients were given conventional flat line standard three channel vitreous operation incision to remove the anterior, middle part and peripheral vitreous around lens dislocation. The crystalline lens were drawn to the center cavity of vitreous body and treated by ultrasonic disintegrator. ln the operation, the retina was examined and 8 of them had no retinal damage and in the first stage underwent fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses.
RESULTS: All crystalline lens dislocated were completely grinded and suctioned. There was no retinal detachment occurred in 3mo followed up. 16 eyes had normal lOP (12-20mmHg) at 1wk after operation. The average visual acuity was improved and with 8 cases got improved of 0. 2 or more 1wk after operation.
CONCLUSlON: Our research shows that phacofragmentation combined with vitrectomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of traumatic lens dislocation. The patients with nondestructive retina in the operation are feasible to do first stage operation of intraocular lens suture fixation, which contributes to the best visual acuity.

AIM: To retrospectively evaluate the effect of lens extraction combined with vitrectomy to treat traumatic lens dislocation with secondary glaucoma.
METHODS: Thirty - one eyes ( 31 cases ) of lens dislocation caused by blunt trauma with secondary glaucoma were treated respectively with cataract extraction combined with anterior vitrectomy, trabeculectomy and intraocular lens implantation. The visual acuity and pressure were observed 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operative.
RESULTS: Thirty - one eyes were all complete the operation successfully, and 6 eyes were given combined trabeculectomy, 9 eyes were implanted anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation ( IOL ) and 15 eyes were given posterior chamber suture fixation. Sixteen eyes were implanted in one-stage operation, while 8 eyes were implanted in two-stage operation. All intraocular pressure ( IOP ) were controlled to the normal level after operation and 23 eyes had visual acuity of more than 0. 3. CONCLUSION: Lens extraction combined with vitrectomy is an effective method for treatment of lens dislocation with secondary glaucoma. In order to control the IOP and get well visual function, we should choose IOL implantation or trabeculectomy according to the patient's condition.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the effect of taurine (Tau) on the proliferation of hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), and study whether the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signal pathway participated in the Tau-inhibited PASMC proliferation process and the possible molecular mechanism.
METHODThe primary culture was performed for PASMCs in rats. The second to fifth generations were adopted for the experiment. The Tau concentration was 80 mmol x L(-1). The concentration of ERK1/2 blocker (PD98059) was 50 micromol x L(-1). The drug administration time was 24 h. The effect of Tau on the PASMC proliferation was detected by MTT assay, immunofluorescence staining method and western blot under different conditions. The PASMCs were growing were divided into four groups: the normoxia group, the normoxia + Tau group, the hypoxia group and the hypoxia + Tau group. The Western blot was adopted to detect whether the ERK1/2 signal pathway participated in the Tau-inhibited PASMC proliferation process. Subsequently, the PASMCs were divided into five groups: the normoxia group, the hypoxia group, the hypoxia + Tau group, the hypoxia + Tau + PD98059 group and the hypoxia + PD98059 group.
RESULTHypoxia could induce the PASMC proliferation. Under the conditions of normoxia, Tau had no effect on the PASMC proliferation. Under the conditions of normoxia and hypoxia, Tau had no effect on the expression of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) among PASMCs. Tau could reverse the expression up-regulation of hypoxia-induced proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) (P < 0.01) and Cyclin A (Cyclin A) (P < 0. 05). Under the conditions of normoxia, Tau had no effect on the expression of phosphoryl extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2). Hypoxia could up-regulate the p-ERK1/2 expression (P < 0.01). Tau could reverse the up-regulation of the hypoxia-induced p-ERK1/2 expression(P < 0.01). Both PD98059 and Tau could inhibit the up-regulated expressions of PCNA, Cyclin A and p-ERK1/2. According to the comparison between the single addition of Tau and PD98059 under conditions of hypoxia, the hypoxia + Tau + PD98059 group showed more significant down-regulation in the expressions of PCNA, Cyclin A and p-ERK1/2.
CONCLUSIONTau could inhibit the hypoxia-induced PASMC proliferation, and may regulate it through ERK1/2 pathway.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix before and after being processed with vinegar in the toxicity on rat small intestinal crypt epithelial cells IEC-6, and make a preliminary study on the mechanism of detoxication of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix processed with vinegar.
METHODWith rat small intestinal crypt epithelial cells IEC-6 as the study object, the MTT method was adopted to detect the effect of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix before and after being processed with vinegar on IEC-6 cell activity. The morphology of cells were observed by the inverted microscope. The down-regulated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway of enterocytes caused by the vinegar processing was analyzed by using the high content screening.
RESULTCompared with the negative control group, the proliferation inhibition experiment showed that Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix showed a relatively high intestinal cell toxicity (P < 0.01). The results of HCS analysis showed that Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix could significantly reduce the cell nucleus Hoechst fluorescence intensity and mitochondria membrane (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and increase Annexin V-FITC and PI fluorescence intensity and membrane permeability (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.01). After being processed with vinegar, compared with Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix groups with different doses, Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix processed with vinegar could significantly decrease the cell proliferation inhibition effect on enterocytes, increase the cell nuclear Hoechst fluorescence intensity and mitochondria membrane (P < 0.05, P < 0.05), and decrease Annexin V-FITC and PI fluorescence intensity and membrane permeability (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and showed a certain dose-effect relationship.
CONCLUSIONThe vinegar processing can further reduce the toxicity of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix on enterocytes. Its possible mechanism can decrease the effect of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix on the permeability of IEC-6 cell membrane, so as to provide a basis for further explanation of the detoxication mechanism of Euphorbia Pekinensis Radix processed with vinegar.

Aphosphorbasedonsilicananoparticleswaspreparedusingasol-gelmethod.Thecontrollable synthesis, spectroscopic properties, cytotoxicity and cell imaging of these nanomatericals were examined by using photoluminescence spectra, TEM, XRD, confocal microscopy and other characterized measurements. The results demonstrated that the obtained sample was silica with diameter about 50 nm. The maximum fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the silica nanomatericals were 280 nm and 335 nm, and the maximum phosphorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the silica nanomatericals were 280 nm and 440 nm. The obtained silica sample possessed room temperature phosphorescence that was stable against environmental changes. The obtained sample was stored in air at ambient conditions and its phosphorescence remained unchanged after 3 month demonstrated its long-term stability. The result of methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) and cell imaging experiments suggested that the synthesized silica nanoparticles were feeble cytotoxicity and could be uptaken by cells at the lysosomal compartment. Therefore these nanoparticles could serve as bioprobes for cell imaging.
