Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2001;21(3):170-171
Objective To explore the changes and significance of the circulating immunocomplexes(CIC) in patients with chronic iridocyclitis.Methods We assessed circulating immunocomplexes in peripheral blood of 45 patients with recurrent uveitis and 42 healthy controls by PEG deposition with the biochemical analyzer to obtain levels of CIC different with recurrent uveitis.Results Levels of CIC were significantly higher in active patients(27.358±6.729)than those in controls(13.459±6.164,P<0.001) and inactive patients (16.248±6.233,P<0.001),but patients (inactive) had significantly higher levels than those in controls (P<0.05).Conclusion Levels of CIC were found in the groups of active patients with recurrent uveitis (27.358±6.729), but levels of CIC in inactive patients fell. The result of this study suggest that recurrence of uveitis is related to immunocomplexes,and changes in the levels of CIC could be also a measure standard of therapeutic effects.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of adenosine on cochlea in acute acoustic trauma. Methods: Guinea pigs were exposed to 118 dB SPL white noise for 30 min. During the process of exposure, artificial perilymph or artificial perilymph containing adenosine (0.1 mmol/L,1 mmol/L or 5 mmol/L) was infused into the cochlea through perilymphatic perfusion. Concentration of glutamate in perilymph and thresholds of compound action potentials (CAP) were measured before and after noise exposure. Results: After exposure, the concentration of glutamate and the mean threshold shifts evoked by click were significantly higher than those of before exposure. Concentration of glutamate and thresholds of CAP in adenosine (1 mmol/L and 5 mmol/L) treated groups were significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusion: Adenosine can inhibit the elevation of glutamate and decrease the threshold shift of CAP after exposure to noise,which can protect cochlea in acute acoustic trauma in guinea pigs.

ObjectiveTo realize the relevance between hypertension and serum uric acid (SUA) in residents in Baise City.MethodsTwenty one thousand,five hundred and eighty eight Baise residents were examined.The body weight,height,waist circumference,hip circumference,blood pressure(BP) were recorded and blood lipidlevels,blood glucoseand serum uric acid (SUA) were tested.The relevance between hypertension and hyperuricemia (HUA) was analyzed by multi-factor variance analysis,x2 test,t test,linear regression and Logistic regression analysis.ResultsHypertension prevalence rate was 31.5%,the frequency of HUA was 12.0%,and 5.8% residents had both.For patients with both hypertension and HUA,when compared to those with normal serum uric level,their mean diastolic blood pressure(DBP) was(84±10),(72±6) mm Hg res-pectively,there mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was(151±12),(127±6) mm Hg respectively,and pulse pressure (PP) was (50±12),(37±8) mm Hg respectively.The average BMI of those two groups was (23.9±2.6),(21.7±2.4) kg/m2 respectively.The average TC level was (6.0±1.3),(5.2±1.1)mmol/L respectively,the average TG level was(2.3±2.2),(1.5±0.7) mmol/L respectively,and the average LDL-C level was(3.4±1.3),(3.0±1.1) mmol/L respectively.All these parameters were higher than those people without hypertension or HUA(P<0.01).However,the situation of HDL-C[ (1.2±0.4),(1.5±0.5)mmol/L] was the opposite (P<0.01).Regression analysis had shown that age,BMI,waist-hip ratio,SUA,blood glucose,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C were independent risk factors for hypertension,while people with HUA was 3.1 times more when compared to those without HUA.The prevalence rate of HUA in people with hypertension was 2.6 times higher than that of the control group.ConclusionHypertension and HUA are two public health problems that prevalent in the residents in Baise City.Obesity,high blood glucose level and hyperlipidemia are thebasis for the development of hypertension and HUA.Hypertension can be the cause of HUA and verse versa.They may have mutual interactions.The adverse effect of HUA on-cardiovascular system should be taken into consideration clinically.

Objectives To explore the role of PKCβ/p66Shc oxidative stress signaling pathway in hyperoxia-induced apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells A549. Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and divided randomly into control (incubated with 5%CO2), hyperoxia group (exposed to a mixture of 900 ml/L O2 and 50 ml/L CO2 at speed of 3 L/min for 10 mins, then cultured in a closed environment) and LY333531 group (treated with 10μmol/L of PKCβinhibitor LY333531 for 24h then induced with hyperoxia for 10 mins). The cellular morphology was observed under inverted microscope at 12, 24 and 48 h of treatment. The cell apoptosis was detected by lfow cytometry. Expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 were detected by immunohistochemistry after 24 h of treatment. Results Comparing to the control group, the cellular morphology of A549 in the hyperoxia group changed to spherical shapes and space between cells increased, the living cell count decreased and suspension cell increased. The living cell count in LY333531 group increased and suspension cell decreased than those in hyperoxia group but not reach the levels of the control group. The apoptosis rate of A549 cells and the expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 at 24 h were signiifcantly increased in the hyperoxia group than those in the control group, while the apoptosis rate and the expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 were greatly decreased in the LY333531 group than those in the hyperoxia group (all P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of PKCβin A549 cells can be increased by the hyper-oxia induction but reduced by LY333531, and then the expressions of Pin1, p66Shc and p66Shc-Ser36 are reduced. Thus the re-duced apoptosis of A549 cells relieve the cell injury induced by hyperoxia.

Objective To explore the potential mechanism of abnormal behavior resulted from maternal separation in neo-natal period in rat. Methods Neonatal rats were equally and randomly divided into maternal separation group and control group. The rats in maternal separation group were separated from the dam for 3h per day on postnatal days (PND) 2 to 21, nothing was done to the rats in the control group. The brain tissues were taken out after being killed on PND 7, 14, and 21. The expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP in hippocampal formation were detected by immunohistochemistry. Semiquantitative assessment of immunohistochemical images was performed by Image-Pro Plus software. Results Compared with control groups, the expres-sion of Caveolin-l on PND 7 had no signiifcant change, while BDNF and GFAP were signiifcantly increased in maternal separa-tion group (P<0.05). On PND 14 and 21, the expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP were signiifcantly decreased in maternal separation group (P<0.05). Conclusions Decreased expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP caused by maternal separation in neonatal period may be associated with abnormal behaviors in adulthood in rat.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathologic features of small gastrointestinal stromal tumors (small GISTs,d < 2.0 cm).Methods Medical records of 95 patients undergoing surgery (endoscopic surgery,thoracoscopic/laparoscropic surgery and open surgery)and diagnosed as having GISTs by pathology and immunohistochemistry in Nanfang hospital from October 2003 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Based on clinical and pathological results,correlation analyses between risk factors for endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) and Mitotic count(MI),clinicopathologic parameter and NIH risk classification were performed.Results Among 95 cases (104 lesions),88 were single,while 7 were multiple;81.7% (85/104) small GISTs arose from stomach,including 87.1% (74/85)in middle-upper stomach;5 cases (5.3%) presented calcification of different degrees,3 cases(3.2%) presented local necrosis and 2 cases (2.1%) with arrangement of epithelioid cells;88 cases (92.6%) were very low grade of NIH risk classification,6 cases (6.3%) were intermediate risk and 1 case(1.1%) was high risk.Positive rates of CD34 and CD117 were 95.8% (91/95) and 96.8% (92/95) respectively.The risk factors (border,mucosal surface,echo and heterogeneity) of EUS had no correlation with mitotic count(P>0.05).The correlation analysis between clinicopathologic features and NIH risk classification revealed tumors more than 1.5 cm had a striking correlation with NIH risk classification (P< 0.05).Conclusion Most small GISTs,single or multiple,located at middle-upper stomach,were of very low or low risk,and have a favorable prognosis.But it has worse biological behavior and a higher grade risk when the diameter is more than 1.5 cm,intervention should be recommended.
