Objective:To investigate the efficiency and safety of pneumatic retinopexy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods:A prospective case series study. From January 2020 to December 2021, 27 eyes of 27 RRD patients in Joint Shantou International Eye Center were included. Among them, there were 10 males and 17 females; the mean age was 36.0±11.8 years old. There was recurrent retinal detachment in 4 eyes. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography were performed. According to whether the retina was successfully reattached after a single intravitreal injection, the patients were divided into a single operation group and a second operation group. All eyes underwent pneumatic retinopexy, the patients received intravitreal injection of 0.3-0.5 ml 100% C 3F 8. On the next day, laser photocoagulation was performed around the retinal breaks. The mean follow-up time was 15.0±6.0 months. Outcome measures included single operation success rate, the BCVA at the last follow up and complications. The age, gender, extent of retinal detachment, number of retinal breaks, and preoperative and postoperative BCVA of patients in the single operation group and the second operation group were compared using Mann-Whiteney test or Fisher's exact test. Results:Twenty of the 27 eyes (74.1%, 20/27) had retinal reattachment after single operation, 7 of the 27 eyes (25.9%, 7/27) had retinal reattachment after the second operation. Among the 7 eyes, retinal detachment recurrence after operation, retinal detachment recurrence after tear opening, and retinal detachment recurrence with new tears occurred in 1, 4, and 2 eyes, respectively; retinas were all reattached after scleral buckling or vitrectomy. The BCVA was stable and improved in 14 and 13 eyes, respectively. Compared with the single operation group, the retinal detachment in the second operation group was wider and the BCVA before operation was worse, the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.842,-2.233; P<0.05). Transient intraocular pressure elevation occurred in 5 eyes; no complications such as infectious endophthalmitis, intraocular hemorrhage and lens damage occurred. Conclusion:Pneumatic retinopexy is safe and effective in the treatment of RRD.

The S100 protein family is a key component of damage-associated molecular patterns(DAMP), which play a vital role in regulating inflammation in the body's innate immune response. S100A8/S100A9 proteins play a wide range of antibacterial and anti-infective functions in many diseases, and promote the occurrence and development of the body's immune and inflammatory responses. In various retinal degenerative diseases, S100A8/S100A9 proteins are significantly upregulated at the transcription and translation stages, promoting the activation of inflammatory factors in ocular tissues, the activation and recruitment of immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils, and the occurrence and development of ocular inflammation. This review aimsat explaining the biological functions of S100A8/S100A9 proteins and their roles and possible mechanisms in retinal degenerative diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and ischemic retinopathy.

To investigate the molecular mechanism of resveratrol inhibiting the metastasis of liver cancer . HepG2 and Huh7 cells were treated with different concentrations of resveratrol, and the cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay to determine the optimal concentration of resveratrol for subsequent experiments. The expressions of miR-186-5p in liver cancer tissues and liver cancer cells were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The migration and invasion of HepG2 and Huh7 cells were detected by wound healing assay and Transwell assay, and the expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins were determined by Western blotting. Resveratrol with concentration of had no effect on the viability of HepG2 and Huh7 cells, so the concentration of resveratrol in subsequent experiments was 6.25 μmol/L. Resveratrol inhibited the wound healing and invasion of liver cancer cells; increased the expression of E-cadherin, and decreased the expression of vimentin and Twist1. The expression of miR-186-5p was significantly down-regulated in liver cancer tissues and cells compared with the adjacent tissues and normal liver cells (both <0.05). Furthermore, resveratrol induced the expression of miR-186-5p in liver cancer cells (both <0.01). Overexpression of miR-186-5p suppressed the migration, invasion and EMT of liver cancer cells. Knockdown of miR-186-5p blocked the inhibition effects of resveratrol on the migration, invasion and EMT of liver cancer cells. Resveratrol could inhibit the metastasis of liver cancer , which might be associated with up-regulating miR-186-5p.
