Being the primary neurons in the auditory system, spiral ganglion neurons form the afferent synapse with hair cells and play a critical role in the analysis and integration of hearing. Many kinds of neurotransmitters can be found in the cochlear and they have different effects under both physiological and pathological conditions with complicated mechanism. This article reviews the characters of some transmitters in cochlear, such as glutamate, ATP, dopamine and GABA, and their roles in noise-induced hearing loss, hoping to provide more clues for research and therapy of inner ear diseases.

? AlM: To examine choroidal thickness and its relationship with axial length and spherical equivalent by spectral domain optical coherence tomography ( SD -OCT ) in patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization ( mCNV) .
?METHODS: We prospectively recruited 30 cases of mCNV in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from October 2010 to December 2014. SD-OCT was used to measure choroidal thickness subfoveally and at 1. 5mm superiorly, inferiorly, nasally and temporally ( SFCT, SCT1. 5mm , lCT1. 5mm , NCT1. 5mm , TCT1. 5mm ) . Paired t- test was conducted to assess the difference of spherical equivalent, axial length and choroidal thickness between mCNV group and controls. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between spherical equivalent, axial length, choroidal thickness and mCNV.
?RESULTS: The difference of spherical equivalent and axial length between mCNV group and controls was not significant (P>0. 05). lnferior was decreased in mCNV group compared with controls (140. 85±33. 46μm vs 168. 95±45. 36μm). The difference was significant (P=0. 008). Logistic regression demonstrated that decreased choroidal thickness ( lCT1. 5mm ) at inferior location was associated with mCNV (OR=2. 12;95%CI 1. 35~3. 28;P=0. 02).
?CONCLUSlON: The decrease of lCT1. 5MM may be one of the risk factors of mCNV.

MicroRNA are endogenous non-coding small RNA composed of approximately 18 - 23 nucleotides, mainly participating in post-transcription gene regulation. More and more data show that miR-21 is over-expressed in many human cancer cells and it was involved in cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, closely related to tumorigenesis and the development of carcinoma as oncogene. Here, we will make a review about miR-21' s target gene, biosynthesis and regulation and clinical significance in order to provide a valued data for the future study and clinical application.

?AlM:To investigate the sensitive parameters of the anterior chamber changes with Pentacam anterior segment analysis system before and after laser peripheral iridectomy (LPl) in primary angle-closure suspetive (PACS).
? METHODS: Sixty eyes of 33 PACS patients were enrolled in this study. Pentacam examination was performed before and 1d after LPl to measure the central anterior chamber depth ( CACD ) , the peripheral anterior chamber depth ( PACD ) , the anterior chamber volume ( ACV) and the peripheral anterior chamber angle ( ACA) . Statistical analysis used paired t test.
?RESULTS: There was no statistical significance on the changes of ACD. PACD and ACV increased significantly between before and 1d after LPl. ACA was widened from (22. 26o±5. 18o) to (26. 42o±5. 20o), which were increased significantly between before and 1d after LPl.
?CONCLUSlON: LPl can deepen the PACD and increase the ACV in PACS. PACD and ACV are the sensitive parameters of the anterior chamber changes with Pentacam anterior segment analysis system.

Objective To investigate the teaching effects for students of seven-year program.Method Symposiums were hold among 3 batches for seven-years program and questionnaire collected.Results We need to further modify the curriculum and improve clinical teaching skills,and students also need to have more research ideas.Conclusion We should modify current teaching content,curriculum,and skills.Clinical skills and humanization management should be highlighted.This is the key to ensure that teaching effects and teaching quality can be improved effectively.

Objective To study the Inflammation and immune stress of obese asthmatic rats by adipocytokines.Methods Fourty C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into control group, obese group, asthma group and obese asthma group.Mice in the control group were fed normal diet and PBS, high-fat diet(75% normal diet, 10% egg yolk powder, lard 10%, 5% sugar)and PBS in obese group, normal diet and OVA(PBS)in asthma group and fat diet and OVA(PBS)in obese asthma group.Detect the leptin, adiponectin, resistin, IL-4, IFN-γ, IL-17 content with ELISA in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF).Using Pearson correlation to analyze and evaluate these factors' correlation in plasma and BALF.Results The difference of leptin, adiponectin, resistin in plasma and BALF(excepted leptin)between four groups were statistically significant (P<0.05), the leptin levels between plasma and BALF has a positive correlation(R2=0.8215, P<0.05)in obese mice, there was no correlation between plasma and BALF for the adiponectin, resistin.The adiponectin content and IFN-γ levels were also negatively correlated(R2=0.9146, P<0.05)in BALF, while there was no correlation between IL-4,IL-17 and leptin, adiponectin, resistin.Conclusion Adipocytokines has a regulatory function of the immune response in obese asthmatic rats, and participate the inflammatory reaction.

The academic connotation of "pathogenic factors" is discussed in this article from three aspects of etiology,diagnosis and treatment.It is considered that endogenous or exogenous pathogenic factors oppose to and destruct healthy energy.TCM pathogenic factors,obtained from "examining syndromes for causes of diseases",are diverged from physical,chemical and biological those in modern medicine.What is meant by "therapy of expelling pathogenic factors" is not a single method of dispelling toxin and killing germs,but the resort of regulating the integrated abilities of the human body fighting against pathogenic factors.

Objective To evaluate the effect of various kinds of dyslipidaemia on insulin resistance and pancreatic islet ? cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. Methods 263 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were divided into normal lipidemia group and dyslipidaemia group according to ATPⅢ standard. The dyslipidaemia group included 3 subgroups as the following: high TG group, high TC group, and mix group with high TG and TC. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was applied to estimate insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic islet ? cell function. Early insulin secretion index (EISI) and area under curve of insulin (AUCI) at all OGTT time points were calculated. Results Incidence of dyslipidaemia in the type 2 diabetic patients was 63%. BMI and WHR were significantly higher in both high TG group and mix group than in normal lipidemia group(P
