Background Aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) is designed to reduce the spherical aberration of the eye after cataract surgery and to obtain better visual quality.However,the selection of a personalized aspheric IOL is a problem to be solved.Objective This study was to compare the wavefront aberration and quality of vision of patients between the implantation of negative spherical aberration IOL and non-aberration IOL,and to investigate the relationship between corneal Q values and postoperative spherical aberration.Methods One hundred and four eyes of 90 patients with age-related cataract were randomized into two groups.Fifty-two eyes of 46 patients who received a Tecnis Z9001 IOL implantation were assigned as the negative spherical aberration IOL group and 52 eyes of 44 patients who received Akreos AO IOL without aberration were assigned as the non-aberration IOL group.The preoperative corneal Q values were measured and the mean Q value(Q)was computed.Then the patients in the two groups were further divided into 2 subgroups,respectively,based on their Q values were over or below (Q）.The corneal Q values,root mean square(RMS) of ocular spherical aberration,coma and total higher-order aberrations(HOAs) for 5 mm diameter pupil,scotopic contrast sensitivity with or without glare at 6 mm pupil diameter were measured 3 months after surgery.Results The pre-and post-operative corneal Q values were insignificantly changed (t =1.447,P =0.151).The spherical aberration in the negative spherical aberration IOL group was(0.059-±0.047)μm,and that in the non-aberration IOL group was(0.110±0.066)μm,with a statistically significant difference between them (t =-4.567,P=0.000).Scotopic contrast sensitivities at intermediate and high frequencies were significantly better in the negative spherical aberration IOL group than in the non-aberration IOL group (t =2.495,t =2.359,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in coma and HOAs between the two groups after operation (P ＞ 0.05).Weak positive correlations were seen between the pre-and post-operative corneal Q values and spherical aberration in the two groups(r=0.277,0.292,0.285,0.325,all at P＜0.05).However,no significant differences were found in spherical aberration,contrast sensitivity and scotopic contrast sensitivity between the different subgroups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Negative spherical aberration IOL has lower spherical aberration and better scotopic contrast sensitivity than non-aberration IOL.The results suggest that it may be not enough to choose the corneal Q value only as the single reference criterion for selection of aspheric IOL.

Objective: To conduct computing network pharmacological studies on Paeoniae Rubra Radix (Chishao) and Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbai), and to explore their mechanism for intervening Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: The interactions among 199 compounds from the two kinds of Chinese Herbs (Chishao and Huangbai) and 23 approved drug targets related to AD were studied with molecular docking and network pharmacological analysis methods. Results: The most of the compounds in Chishao and Huangbai exhibit good drug-like properties. The mechanism of Chishao and Huangbai may be that they modulate the expression of GSK-3β, caspase-7, BchE, and mTOR to resist AD. Conclusion: The method of network pharmacological studies is helpful to explore the possible active molecules in Chishao and Huangbai and elucidate the mechanism of action.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Jinzhen Oral Liquid (JOL) for prevention COVID-19 through network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. Methods: The protein targets related to COVID-19 were searched by literature mining and retrieving in DisGeNET, OMIM, KEGG and UniProt databases. With the aid of Traditional Chinese Medicine Network Pharmacology Intelligent Information Platform (TCMN) searching JOL chemical components and targets, the "herb-compound-target network" was constructed using Cytoscape-3.2.1 software to predict the main active ingredients and action targets of JOL in the treatment of COVID-19. The crystal structure of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) 3CL hydrolase (3CLpro) and angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2) was retrieved from the RCSB PDB database, and the active compounds were docked with the two proteins by using AutoDock Vina software. Results: The herb-compound-target network contained 75 compounds including isoglabrolide, peimisine, and sennoside B, etc., which are from the three medicinal materials of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Rheum officinale, and Fritillaria ussuriensis, and 28 targets including mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MEK1). Furthermore, nine key compounds (isoglabrolide, glabrolide, ebeiedinone, desoxo- glabrolid-acetate, peimisine, verticinone, imperialine, ussuriedinone and euchrenone A5) and 10 potential targets (mTOR, JAK3, ACE2, TNFA, AKT2, PIK3CA, MEK1, BRD2, ACE and ANPEP) of JOL were predicted for treating COVID-19 by network characteristic analysis. The molecular docking results showed that some core compounds of JOL had a certain degree of affinity for 3CLpro and ACE2. Conclusion: JOL may inhibit the occurrence and development of cytokine storm in COVID-19 by regulating the expression of Brd2, CD13, and ACE2 and interfering with the PI3K/Akt, Jak-STAT, TNF and MAPK signaling pathways, and inhibit virus replication by binding with 3CLpro, thus exerting a preventive or therapeutic effect on COVID-19.

Objective To detect the expressions of Lingo-1 and myelin associated protein in the white matter and hippocampus of ovariectomized rats after short-term estrogen replacement therapy in order to explore the possible mechanisms for the effects of estrogen on the brain myelin sheaths and cognitive function.Methods 24 middleaged (9-12 months) female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were bilaterally ovariectomized (OVX) and randomly divided into vehicle replacement (OVX+Veh) group and estrogen replacement (OVX+E) group.After one month ERT,The spatial learning and memory ability of all rats were assessed with Morris water maze.Then,10 rats were randomly selected from each group.The ultrastucture of myelin sheaths in the cerebral white matter and hippocampus were observed,and the protein expression of MBP and Lingo-1 were investigated with Western blot and immunohistochemical staining.Results The escape latencies of OVX+E rats in navigation test were significantly shorter than that of OVX+Veh rats(P＜0.05).The myelin sheaths in the white matter and hippocampus of OVX+Veh rats showed obviously degeneration.In the OVX+E group,the expression of MBP in the white matter and hippocampus was significantly higher than that of OVX+Veh group(P＜0.05),however,the expression of Lingo-1 was significantly lower than that of OVX +Veh group (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions One-month ERT has significant beneficial effects on the spatial learning capacity and myelin sheaths in the white matter and hippocampus.The protective effects may be related to estrogen-induced downregulation of the Lingo-1 expression in the white matter and hippocampus of rats.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and attitude of smoking and its influencing factors among residents in Hongkou District of Shanghai,so as to provide evidence for tobacco control. Methods Nine hundred and sixty residents in Hongkou District of Shanghai aged 15 to 69 years were selected by multi-level random sampling,among whom 958 completed the investigations on smoking status. Results The smoking rate and standardized smoking rate were 20.04% and 18.73%,respectively.The smoking rate and standardized smoking rate of males were 41.05% and 30.07%,and those of females were 0.80% and 1.70%,respectively.The smoking rate of males was higher than that of females(RR=0.02,95%CI: 0.01-0.03).The smoking rates of age groups of 25 years old and over were higher than those of 15 to 24 years old,and the smoking rate of subjects with or above junior college education was lower than that of subjects with or below middle school education(RR=0.45,95%CI: 0.25-0.79).Subjects who drank alcohol smoked more than those did not(RR=2.68,95%CI: 1.76-4.09).Lower annual per capita income and higher knowledge on smoking hazard led to more tendance to object to smoking and agree with anti-smoking. Conclusion The prevalence of smoking of residents aged 15 to 69 years in Hongkou District of Shanghai was relatively lower.Age,gender,education status and alcohol drinking were influencing factors of smoking.Education on tobacco control among subjects aged more than 35 years should be strengthened,and more attention should be paid to those with lower education.Besides,education on alcohol control should be managed together with tobacco control.

Objective To observe the impact of mild hypothermia (MH)on the reactive oxygen species (ROS)and expression of cacpase-3mRNA and light chain 3 (LC3,a subunit of immunoglobulin)in hippocampus nerve cells of rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods A total of 65 healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD)adult rats were randomly (random number)divided into 2 groups:blank control group (n =5)and CPR group (n =60).Cardiac arrest (CA)was induced in rats of CPR group by asphyxia.The survival rats after CPR were randomly (random number)divided into 2 groups:normothermia CPR group (NT)and hypothermia CPR group (HT).Homeothermia of 37 ℃ was maintained in NT group after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),and hypothermal intervention to 32 ℃ was carried out in HT group for 4 hours immediately after ROSC.Both NT group and HT group were then randomly divided to 2 subgroups 12 hours and 24 hours after ROSC (NT-12,NT-24,HT-12,HT-24 subgroups).During observation,the neurological deficit (NDS)of rats was scored,then the bilateral hippocampi were obtained from rats'head,and monoplast suspension of fresh hippocampus tissue was made immediately to determine the level of intracellular ROS by flow cytometry.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure changes of cellular nucleus and mitochondria.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was used to determine the expression of caspase-3mRNA and Western-blotting (WB)was used to determine the level of LC3 in frozen hippocampus tissue.Measured data were analyzed with paired sample T test and One-Way ANOVA.Results Of 60 rats with CA,44 were successfully resuscitated (73%)and 33 survived until the end of the experiment (55%).The NDSs of rats in NT and HT groups were significantly reduced in comparison with BC group (F=8.107,P<0.05),while the NDSs of rats in HT-12 subgroup and HT-24 subgroup were significantly increased in comparison with NDSs of rats in NT-12 subgroup and NT-24 subgroup,respectively (t=9.692,P<0.01;t=14.374,P<0.01 ).The ROS in hippocampus nerve cells of rats in NT group and HT group were significantly increased compared to BC group (F=16.824,P<0.05 ),whereas the ROS in HT-12 and HT-24 subgroups were significantly reduced compared to ROS in NT-12 and NT-24 subgroups,respectively (t =9.836,P<0.01;t =7.499,P<0.01).The expressions of caspase-3 mRNA in hippocampus nerve cells of rats in NT and HT groups were significantly increased compared to BC group (F=24.527,P<0.05),while the expressions of caspase-3 mRNA in rats of HT-12 and HT-24 subgroups were significantly reduced compared to NT-12 and NT-24 subgroups,respectively (t =6.935,P <0.01;t =4.317,P <0.01 ).The level of LC3B-II/I in hippocampus nerve cells of rats in NT and HT groups were significantly increased compared to BC group (F=6.584,P<0.05),while the levels of LC3B-II/I in rats of HT-12 and HT-24 subgroups were significantly reduced compared to NT-12 and NT-24 subgroups,respectively (t=10.836,P<0.001;t=2.653,P=0.02).Ultrastructure damage of nucleus and mitochondria in NT group was more evident compared to BC group,and eumorphism of nucleus and mitochondria were maintained in rats of HT group compared to NT group.Conclusions The mild hypothermia reduced the injury of nerve cells and improved the neurological function of rats survived from cardiac arrest likely by reducing ROS production of nerve cells and inhibition the expression of caspase-3mRNA and lowering the level of LC3 leading to reducing cellular apoptosis and massive autophagy in rats survived from cardiac arrest after CPR.
