Uveitic glaucomas (UG) are complex in cause or disease and response to treatment.UG typically is associated with very high intraocular pressure and more intense optic nerve damage than other glaucoma types.This secondary glaucoma requires an early diagnosis and adequate management of both uveitis and glaucoma.Recently,a multitude of novel medical therapies and surgical techniques have been added to the armamentarium of existing therapeutic modalities.This article reviews the surgical treatment of UG,including Trabeculectomy,laser peripheral iridotomy,nonperforating deep sclerectomy,glaucoma drainage implants,minimally invasive glaucoma surgery,and also briefly discusses the application and effect of these surgical treatments.

Objective To investigate the effects of noise from the subway cars on the preferred listening volumes using different kinds of earphones.Methods A total of 75 subjects with normal hearing were investigated to listen the same song wearing 4 kinds of earphones: insert earphones, intra-concha earphones, supra-concha earphones, and circumaural earphones, in the semi-anechoic background and inside the Line 7 subway-cars of the Beijing subway (the mean of LAeq,1s is 80.3 dB A and then selected personally preferred listening volumes.The effects of noise in the subway cars and earphone types on the preferred listening volumes were then analyzed.Results Inside subway-cars, the preferred listening levels using insert earphones, intra-concha earphones, supra-concha earphones, circumaural earphones were 76.6±4.7, 84.3±5.0, 82.3±4.2, and 80.8±4.2 dB A, respectively.The levels were respectively 65.5±6.8, 71.9±7.1, 69.5±7.5, 67.9±7.3 dB A for those in the semi-anechoic background.The preferred listening levels increase more than 10 dB averagely when stepped into noisy subway-cars background from silent background.According to the threshold levels stipulated in the WHO, to avoid hearing impairment, the daily noise exposure duration should not exceed 134 mins when exposed to subway-cars noise and the duration should not exceed 315, 54, 85, and 120 mins respectively when wearing those 4 kinds of earphones in subway-cars.Conclusion The noise and earphones types have great effects on the preferred listening volumes.The noise exposure levels in the ear canal wearing earphones with good sound insulation and listening at highly increased volume may be lower than that without earphones.

To improve the expression of heterologous genes using baculovirus expression system, we constructed a novel shuttle vector based on the Bm-Bacmid. In the Bm-Bacmid, partial sequences of Chitinase and Cystein Protease were replaced with a tandem cassette of Cm and egfp through homologous recombination. Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) ns1 under the control of polyhedrin promoter was inserted into the modified Bm-bacmid by transposition. For comparison, BmBDV ns1 under the control of polyhedrin promoter was also cloned in the wild type Bm-bacmid. The resulting Bm-bacmids were transfected into the cultured BmN cells to prepare recombinant virus to infect silkworms for expression of BmBDV ns1. Total proteins of hemocyte from infected silkworms were subjected to Western blotting and ELISA analysis. The yield of BmBDV NS1 1 with the modified vector was three times as much as that with the unmodified vector. The method to improve the yield of BmBDV NS1 in silkworms will facilitate the function and three-dimensional structure study of BmBDV NS1.

Baculovirus gene expression is the most popular method to make target protein in cultured insect cells. To fast determine the generation of recombinant virus in cultured cells, donor plasmid of pFastBacI was modified by introducing egfp cassette. In the modified vector, egfp cassette was under the control of ie1 promoter, and target gene cassette was under the control of polyhedron promoter. To evaluate the convenience of the genetically modified donor plasmid used in eukaryotic expression, ns1 gene from Bombyx mori bidensovirus was ligated into the donor plasmid to generate recombinant plasmid pFastBacI-[P(ie1)-egfp-sv40]-[P(polh)-ns1-sv40]. Then the plasmid was transformed into DH10B competent cells containing Bm-Bacmid vector to produce the final recombinant Bm-Bacmid with the help of transposase. The resulting recombinant Bm-Bacmid was transfected into BmN cells to generate recombinant virus, which was easily and rapidly judged by green fluorescent signal observed in BmN cells. After infection for 96 h, the BmN cells were harvested and the total protein extracted from the infected BmN cells was subjected to Western blotting analysis. The result showed that a specific protein band about 36 kDa was detected, indicating that NS1 protein was successfully expressed in the BmN cells. In conclusion, the expression of NS1 protein with the modified expression system is useful for further research on the function of NS1 protein.

BACKGROUND:Due to good function and aesthetic effect, implant dentures become prevalent in osteoporotic patients with missing teeth. However, whether osteoporosis is a contraindication of dentures as wel as effects of osteoporosis on the bone-implant integration have been not ful y understood.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the levels of alkaline phosphatase, bone mineral density and implant stability in patients with osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis, and to explore whether the osteoporotic patients can achieve good prognosis. METHODS:Forty patients undergoing implant dentures in the Department of Prosthodontics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University since February 2015 were enrol ed, and al otted to experimental (osteoporosis) and control (non-osteoporosis) groups (n=20 per group).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of salivary alkaline phosphatase, bone mineral density and initial implant stability in the experiment and control groups both were lower than those before surgery. There were significant
differences in the implant stability quotient at 1 and 3 months and immediately after implantation between groups. These results indicate that osteoporotic patients undergoing implant surgery can achieve a good prognosis that is similar with non-osteoporosis ones.

The quality of some earlier developed antibiotics is usually ensured by the combination of HPLC purity and microbiological potency measurement in the pharmacopoeias of various countries because the relationship between their purity and potency is not clearly quantified. Due to potency is assessed using certain units of measurement, it can not be directly traced to the international system of units (SI unit). This has become a hotspot in the study of the quantitative relationship between purity and potency of antibiotics. It would be quite an achievement to simultaneously determine both purity and potency using HPLC methods during quality control. This study evaluated a multicomponent antibiotic product, gentamycin, as a test sample. First, pure samples of the C components of gentamycin: C1a, C2, C2a and C1 were prepared, separately. Second, quantitative relationship (theoretical potency) between the purity and potency of each C component of gentamycin were determined using 1H NMR, HPLC-ELSD and microbiological assay method. One milligram of gentamycin C1a, C2, C2a and C1 was equal to 1 286.98, 1 095.74, 1 079.52 and 739.61 gentamycin units, respectively. Finally, a method for the determination of gentamycin potency was established based on the proportion and content of C components of gentamycin. The unification of purity and potency for gentamycin was achieved using only HPLC-ELSD. It is also demonstrated that C components of gentamycin and micronomicin produce the same responses under ELSD, which means that it is not necessary to prepare separate reference standards for each C component of gentamycin and that quantitative testing can be performed accurately using only one micronomicin reference standard. This study simplified the previous method for the determination of the content of C components of gentamycin using HPLC-ELSD. The developed method is suitable for regular use as a part of quality control and can simplify the rigmarole quality control procedures provided in current pharmacopeias.
