Objective To compare the differences of optic disc parameters and the thickness of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL) in acute uveitis Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome with different degrees of optic disc edema. Methods This is a retrospective study including 40 eyes of 23 VKH patients. The eyes were divided into 2 groups according to the results of fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). The discs with hyperfluorescence but no leakage were in mild optic disc edema group (group A, 13 patients and 25 eyes), and the discs with hyperfluorescence and leakage were in severe optic disc edema group (group B, 10 patients and 15 eyes). The patients were significantly older in group B than in group A (t=-2.17, P<0.05). The differences of gender, diseased time (t=-1.67) and corrected visual acuity (t=-0.76) between 2 groups were not significant (P>0.05). Eighty eyes of 46 normal healthy subjects, matching group A and group B with age and gender, were divided into group C (26 subjects and 50 eyes) and group D (20 subjects and 30 eyes) respectively.All subjects underwent three dimensional optical coherence tomography examinations. The parameters included average thickness of entire circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL), thickness of nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL, disc area, disc cup area, rim area, cup/disc (C/D) area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio. Results The disc area, disc cup area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal and temporal quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group A than those in group C (P<0.05). The disc area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL were thicker, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller in group B than those in group D (P<0.05). The disc area was bigger, disc cup area, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal , superior and inferior quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group B than those in group A (P<0.05). Conclusions Acute VKH uveitis with mild optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in the nasal and temporal quadrants; with severe optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in all 4 quadrants. Acute VKH uveitis also has smaller C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio.

Objective:To investigate the frequency of myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) in peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their relationship with renal injury.Methods:The frequency of peripheral mDC and pDC in 102 SLE patients and 10 healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry. The quantitative data were expressed by [ M( P25, P75)]. The measurement data of the two groups with non-normal distribution was analyzed by Mann Whitney U test. The correlation between the two groups was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. Results:The frequency of pDC [14.00%(7.92%, 19.65%) vs 24.55%(19.68%, 32.90%), Z=-3.163, P<0.01] and mDC [21.25%(13.28%, 32.83%) vs 34.85%(24.58%, 41.93%), Z=-2.607, P<0.01] in the peripheral blood of 102 patients with SLE were significantly lower than those of healthy controls. The frequency of pDC [9.09%(7.31%, 17.38%) vs 24.55%(19.68%, 32.90%), Z=-3.033, P=<0.01] and mDC [9.40%(7.88%, 21.60%) vs 34.85%(24.58%, 41.93%), Z=-3.231, P<0.01] in 12 patients with newly diagnosed SLE were also significantly lower than those in healthy controls. After adjustedfor confounding factors, multivariate analysis showed that SLEDAI level was the main factor influencing the frequency of pDC ( P=0.019) and mDC ( P<0.01). In addition, pDC[8.02%(2.25%, 9.97%) vs 16.70%(11.80%, 24.60%), Z=-2.490, P=0.015] and mDC[8.80%(5.99%, 12.80%) vs 20.20%(11.20%, 42.80%), Z=-2.226, P=0.029] in patients with active LN were also significantly lower than that of patients with stable LN. The mDC frequency was positively correlated with the levels of complement C3 ( r=0.455, P<0.01) and C4 ( r= 0.289, P, P<0.01). Conclusion:The frequency of mDC and pDC in SLE patients is significantly abnormal, which is closely related to disease activity. In addition, pDC and mDC may be involved in the occurrence and development of LN.

Objective To investigate the effects of concomitant administration oftryptophan on depression-related and anxiety-like behaviors of fluoxetine treated adult rats.Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into the following groups by randomized block design:control group,L-tryptophan group,fluoxetine group,and experimental group (n=15);9 g/L sodium chloride injection (5 ml/kg),50 mg/kg L-tryptophan,10 mg/kg fluoxetine and both 50 mg/kg L-tryptophan and 10 mg/kg fluoxetine were,respectively,given to the rats in the above four groups via intragastric administration;depression models were established by 21 d-long-term chronic,medium and unpredictable stress stimulation.The modified forced swimming test (FST) was used to detect the times spent in immobility behavior,swimming behavior and climbing behavior;and elevated plus-maze (EPM) was employed to detect the times spent in open arms,closed arms and center area,and ratio of entries into open arms to the total entries;while tryptophan levels in cerebrospinal fluid were measured by high performance liquid chromatography.Results The times spent in immobility behavior,swimming behavior and climbing behavior showed significant differences among the four groups (P<0.05);both fluoxetine and tryptophan had significant influences in FST results.The times spent in open arms,closed arms and center area showed significant differences among the four groups (P<0.05);fluoxetine had significant influences in EPM results,and tryptophan had no significant influences in times spent in open arms,closed arms and center area;moreover,there was no significant interaction between tryptophan and fluoxetine treatments in parameters of FST and EPM.Significant difference of tryptophan level was noted among the four groups (F=6.874,P=0.002);that in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the fluoxetine and control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Tryptophan can increase depressive-related behavior,but not alter anxiety-like behavior.Fluoxetine can decrease depression-related behavior,but induce anxiety.Concomitant use oftryptophan and fluoxetine does not alter anxiety-like behavior and the antidepressant effect offluoxetine is not enhanced.
