AIM:To explore the possible alteration of refraction and estimate the potential impact of visual quality, investigate the impact of intraocular structure between the simple operation and the combination of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, and observe the influence among various tamponade materials application.
METHODS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy ( UBM ) and intraocular len ( IOL ) Master were measured for simple vitrectomy patients ( the simple group, 37 eyes ) and vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery patients ( the combined group, 11 eyes ) . Several parameters were measured such as the anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) , angle opening distance ( AOD ) , trabecular iris angle (TIA), axial length (AL), et al . The simple group was further divided into three sub - groups by various tamponade materials in vitreous: silicone oil group, gas group and equilibrium liquid group. All patients were measured including ACD, AOD250, AOD500, TIA500, AL and corneal curvature (K1, K2) parameters preoperatively and 2wk postoperatively.
RESULTS: AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and AL were decreased 0. 13±0. 21mm, 0. 16±0. 22mm, 8. 68o±9. 72o and 0. 18±0. 24mm ( all P<0. 05 ) respectively in the simple group postoperatively. ACD, AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and AL in combined group increased 0. 95±0. 54mm, 0. 13±0. 12mm, 0. 22±0. 20mm, 11. 49o±11. 06o, and 0. 45±0.30mm ( all P < 0. 05 ) respectively after operation. Alteration of ACD, AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and AL were different between simple group and combined group ( P<0. 05). Of data from various tamponade materials sub-groups, ACD, AOD250, AOD500 and TIA500 of the gas group reduced 0. 19±0. 17mm, 0. 14±0. 09mm, 0. 20±0. 12mm, and 12. 02o±6. 64o respectively after operation ( P<0. 05), the AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and axial length of silicone oil group decreased 0. 19±0. 25mm, 0. 21±0. 26mm, 10. 44o±9. 67oand 0. 23±0. 19mm respectively after operation ( P < 0.05 ) , while equilibrium liquid group had no significant changed in all intraocular structure (P>0. 05). However, neither the corneal thickness nor curvature (K1, K2) were changed postoperatively (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Alteration of anterior segment and axial length in combined group are different from that of the simple group, while the corneal thickness and corneal curvature ( K1, K2 ) are not obviously changed in all groups. Meanwhile, various tamponade materials can also cause different impact on intraocular structure and refraction. In brief, alterations of intraocular structure might cause discrepant refractive changes and potential influence of visual quality.

Objectives: To identify the peptide sequence of a epitope and study its three dimensional structure on molecule of cyclophilin A. Methods: Using anti oyelophilin A (CyPA) monoclonal antibody (McAb D4) as the capture antibody, the library displayed random heptapeptides was screened by biopanning. The phage clones with high affinity for McAb D4 were chosen and their inserts were sequenced and then the antibody binding site was searched for on three dimensional structure of CyPA with RasMol software. Results:After 3 rounds of biopanning, 7 phage clones with high affinity for McAb D4 were sequenced and 3 different species were obtained, five of seven clones shared a predominant consensus sequence, WSLQSFL. The amino acid sequences of the inserts were compared with that of human CyPA.No homologous sequence was found in the primary structure of CyPA. With the data from PDB database and RasMol software, we found that W121,S99,L98,Q111,S110,F112 and L122 constructed a hydrophobic pocket which may be the epitope for McAb D4. Conclusions: W121,S99,L98,Q111,S110,F112 and L122 may form a conformational epitope of cyclophilin A.

AIM:To investigate the protective effects of adenosine on cultured rat hippocampal neurons after oxygen-glucose deprivation. METHODS:The control and adenosine-treated hippocampal neurons cultured for 12 d were exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation environment for 0.5-4 h and then cultured with original medium in normoxia for 24 h . The soma area,survival rate, effluxes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)and apoptosis of neurons were observed. RESULTS:The soma area, effluxes of lactate dehydrogenase from neurons and apoptosis were increased while survival rate of neurons was decreased after oxygen-glucose deprivation compared with those pre-oxygen-glucose deprivation. Compared with the control, after oxygen-glucose deprivation the soma area, effluxes of lactate dehydrogenase from neurons and apoptosis were decreased, however, the survival rate of neurons was increased in the adenosine group.CONCLUSION: Oxygen-glucose deprivation can lead to the severe damage of cultured hippocampal neurons, and adenosine can reduce neuronal injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation.
