As a possible pathogen of blepharitis,Demodex is gradually known by ophthalmologists.Demodex is one of the permanent small parasitic mites in human hair follicle and sebaceous glands,with high infective rate in human body.There are two kinds of Demodex that colonized in human eyelid:Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis.The life cycle of Demodex is about 14.5 days.There have been different views on Demodex as the cause of blepharitis.We performed a deep research on the pathogenic characteristics of Demodex and explored the relationship between blepharitis and Demodex.The clinical diagnose methods and diagnose criteria were also summarized to improve the clinical understanding of Demodex blepharitis,which provides a useful clue for the prevention and management of this disease.

Pesticide played an important role in agriculture. With the increase of pesticides in recent years,they have easily gone into the aquatic environment through some ways such as rain or surface water. The residual pesticide in the water may destroy the aquatic ecosystems,do harm to the aquatic organisms and human health,now more and more attention has been paid to the situation of the pesticide pollution in the aquatic environment. This present paper introduced the type of common pesticide residues in the water in China, it also described the pesticide pollution situation in rivers,groundwater,marine and other water as well as the potential impact of pesticide on the aquatic organisms and human health,in order to provide a basis for China to carry out relative research.

Objective To study the effects of Poly(I:C) on lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells viability and illuminate the mechanism of Poly (I:C)-induced apoptosis in A549 cells.Methods A549 cells were transfected with the complex of Poly(I:C) and lipofectamine 3000.The viability of A549 cells was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTF) method.The apoptotic cells were tested by flow cytometry.The caspase proteins were tested by Western blotting and the expressions of interferon-β (IFN-β) and CXCL-10 were assayed by real-time PCR.After employing the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK and caspase-8 inhibitor Z-IETD-FMK,the variation of Poly (I:C) proapoptosis in A549 cells was observed.RNA interfering experiments were employed to knock down melanoma differentiation related antigen 5 (MDA5) or retinoic acidinduced gene Ⅰ (RIG-Ⅰ),and the above indexes were tested.Results The viability of A549 cells was significantly reduced to 74.92％ ±--6.24％ after 200 ng/ml Poly (I:C) transfection compared with that before transfection (95.32％ ± 3.05％,t =2.883,P =0.041).The apoptotic rates induced by 100,200,400 ng/ml Poly(I:C) were 9.97％-± 0.88％,23.63％-± 1.41％,32.57％-± 2.39％,respectively.All of them were higher than that in the control group (0.74％-± 0.15％),with significant differences (t =4.489,P =0.002;t =11.616,P =0.000;t =16.932,P =0.000).Besides,the death receptor pathway proteins such as TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL),cleaved-caspase-8 and cleaved-caspase-3 increased obviously.MDA5/RIG-Ⅰ pathway was also activated dramatically and the expressions of IFN-β,CXCL-10 were significantly up-regulated.The apoptotic rates reduced to 3.17％ ± 0.66％,5.35％ ± 0.64％ with pancaspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK and caspase-8 inhibitor Z-IETD-FMK pretreatment,compared with the control group (15.87％ ±0.93％),and the differences were statistically significant (t =8.643,P =0.001;t =6.824,P =0.002).Moreover,the expressions of TRAIL,IFN-β and CXCL-10 induced by Poly (I:C) were inhibited with MDA5 or RIG-Ⅰ depletion.Conclusion Poly(I:C) can reduce the survival rate of A549 cells and promote the apoptosis mainly by activating the death-receptor pathway mediated by MDA5/RIG-Ⅰ probably,which may involve in IFN-β,CXCL-10.

Objective To study the application value of chest low-dose spiral CT for the screening of lung cancer in physical examinees . Methods The data of physical examinees that underwent chest low-dose CT for screening of lung cancer from January 2013 to January 2016 was analyzed, the index included the correlation between age and sex with the detection rate of lung nodules and the detection rate of lung cancer, pathological types and clinical stages of lung cancer and so on. Results 9762 physical examinees underwent chest low-dose spiral CT, the detection rates of pulmonary nodules and lung cancer were 58.16%(5678/9762) and 0.34 % (33/9762) respectively. The detection rate of lung cancer increased with the age, the highest detection rate [1.13 % (8/709)] of lung cancer was found in 80 years old and above, the rate in 60-69 years old group was 0.36%(6/1641). In 33 cases of lung cancer, there were 22 cases in stage Ⅰ, 5 cases in stageⅢ, and 6 cases in stage Ⅳ. Early diagnosis rate was 66.67 % (22/33). Compared with the conventional thoracic spiral CT, the low-dose chest CT had loner radiation dose (P<0.05), and the image can meet the diagnostic requirement. Conclusions Chest low-dose spiral CT has great advantages in the detection of pulmonary nodules and early stage lung cancer. The application of low-dose CT in physical examinees, especially in high-risk groups of lung cancer, can improve the positive rate of lung cancer screening.

Objective To explore the clinical character istics of bile reflux gastritis. Methods We observed 1328 patients with bile reflux gastritis(excluding gastritis of the remnant stomach),and selected 425 superficial gastritis as control group.All the patients took helicobacter pylori(Hp) rapid urease examination. 664 cases in observed group and all in patients of control group were examined for bile disease by UB. Results In 1328 patients,there were 797 male and 531 female,and the ratio of male and female was 1.5/1.The detecting rate of bile reflux gastritis was decreased along with aging. Among all the patients,there were 651 simple superficial gastritis(49%),86 gastric ulcer(6.5%),412 duodenal ulcer (31%),122 combined ulcer(9.2%) and 57 other disease(4.7%).In observed group,1030 HP(77.56%) were regative; 298 Hp(22.44%) were positive,and in control group,282 Hp(66.35%) were regative,147 Hp(33.65%) were positive.The amount of gallbladder disease resection was 221(33.3%),which was more than that of control group(16.9%). Conclusion The detecting rate of bile reflux gastritis was decreased along with aging.Bile reflux gastritis is more often combined with ulcer disease or gallbladder disease. The Hp infection rate of bile reflux gastritis is significant lower than that of non-bile reflux gastritis.

Objective To induce skin cancer in BALB/c mice using DMBA as initiator and TPA as tumor promot-er. Through optimizing the doses and frequencies of DMBA administration to establish a stable skin cancer model with less time and causing less skin damage. Methods Shaving the back of mice to expose a piece of skin around 2 cm × 2 cm. The mice were divided into a blank control group and four treatment groups randomly. These four groups were given 1, 2, 4, 7 times 100μg/100μL DMBA/acetone, respectively, in the first week, and twice 4μg/100μL TPA/acetone per week in the next 11 weeks. The body weight changes, time of tumor formation and number of tumors formed were recorded during the experiment. The mice were sacrificed at 12th week and samples of tumor tissue and adjacent normal skin tissue were taken for pathological examination using HE staining. Results Tumors were observed at the 7th week in the group with once DMBA administration in the first week and at the 4th week in the group with twice DMBA administration in the first week. Skin cancers were formed also in the group with 4?time DMBA administration in the first week, however, with signif?icantly more severe skin damages. The mice receiving DMBA everyday in the first week died at the 3th week. Conclusions The best induction protocol for skin cancer in BALB/c mice should be twice DMBA in the first week followed by twice TPA

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of lentinan combined with conventional antituberculous therapy in women with pelvic tuberculosis.Methods A total of 90 women with pelvic tuberculosis were enrolled and recruited into a control group and a treatment group by random number table,45 in each group.The control group was treated with anti-tuberculosis program (2HRZE/4HRE),while the treatment group was treated with lentinan tablets on the basis of the control group.Both groups were treated for 6 months.Serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESRs) were determined before and after treatment,and the therapeutic effect was evaluated.Results After treatment,the serum CA125 level (28.61 ± 9.08 U/ml vs.39.72 ± 12.13 U/ml;t=4.919,P＜0.01) and the ESR (36.13 ± 8.33 mm/h vs.41.35 ± 12.45 mm/h;t=2.338,P＜0.05) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The negative rate of serum CA125 after treatment than before treatment in the treatment group (93.3％ vs.20.0％;X2=46.335,P＜0.01) and the control group (82.2％ vs.8.9％;X2=37.396,P＜0.01);but there was no difference in negative rate of serum CA125 after treatment between two groups (X2=1.6571,P=0.198).The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (93.3％ vs.77.8％;X2=4.406,P=0.036).Conclusion Lentinan combined with conventional antituberculous therapy is effective in treatment of pelvic tuberculosis in women.
