1.Pay much attention to neovascular glaucoma caused by hypoperfusion retinopathy
Ophthalmology in China 2006;0(05):-
Neovascular glaucoma is a rare and severe complication of hypoperfusion retinopathy.The appearance of hypoperfu- sion retinopathy complicating neovascular glaucoma in ophthalmolscopy and fundus fluorescein angiography shows a special feature. Neovascular glaucoma occurs when new fibrovascular tissues proliferate onto the chamber angle and obstruct the trabecular meshwork. The stenosis or occlusion of internal carotid artery is the most common reason of hypoperfusion retinopathy in elder people.Early recog- nition and treatment of patients with carotid occlusive diseases may prevent more serious complications.

Objective: To develop a narcissistic personality questionnaire for non-clinical Chinese people. Methods: The questionnaire was developed on the basis of data from open questionnaire, interview and Narcissistic Personality Inventory. Six hundred and twelve participants finished a Narcissism Questionnaire, Self-Esteem Scale, Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Results: ①An exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors labeled authority, superiority, and selfadmiration; and a confirmatory factor analysis suggested that the goodness-of-fit indexes of this three-factor model was satisfactory; ②Cronbach alpha coefficients of narcissism questionnaire and its three factors ranged from 0.796 to 0.929; ③Consistent with previous studies, males were more narcissistic than females; ④Narcissism was pos- itively correlated with self-esteem, negatively correlated with anxiety and was not associated with satisfaction of life; selfesteem mediated the relationship between narcissism and anxiety. Conclusion: The self developed questionnaire illustrated satisfactory internal consistency reliability, construct validity, and criterion-related validity.

Objective To cultivate and identify the transgenic affalfa containing Echinococcus granulosus Eg95 gene. Methods The alfalfa plants were transformed by co-cultivating alfalfa cotyledons via recombinant Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 harboring pBI-Eg95. The transgenic alfalfa explants were selected by kanamyein after calli formation, shoots and roots regeneration in the selective medium, the seedlings of transgenic plants were obtained which were finally transplanted into pots containing nutrient soil. After 2-3 months growth, the complete transgenic alfalfa plants containing Echinococcus granulosus Eg95 gene were obtained. To identify the transgenic alfalfa plants, the total DNA, RNA and leaf protein were extracted from fresh leaf tissue of the transgenic alfalfa plants and confirmed by PCR, RT-PCR, SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay. Results A specific band around 471 bp was amplified by PCR with total DNA, and the same band was obtained by RT-PCR with total RNA, which confirmed that the Eg95 gene was stably integrated into the transformed alfalfa genome. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the relative molecular mass(Mr) of the expressed protein was about 16.5×103, consistent with the Eg95 protein, and the level of Eg95 expression was up to 0.06% of total soluble leaf protein by Bio-Rad Quantity one assay. Western blot verified the expressed protein was reactive with the sera of mice infected with Echinococcus granulosus. Conclusion The transgenic alfalfa plants containing Echinococcus granulosus Eg95 gene are successfully cultivated.

Objective To study the relationship of Dll-1/Notch signal transduction pathway with the pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer and the effect on proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Methods We assessed Notchl and Dll-1 protein levels in 63 cases of colorectal cancer and adjacent normal tissue by Western blotting.SW480 cells were treated with DAPT (γ-secretase inhibitor) at different treating times.MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to measure the proliferation and apoptosis of SW480 cells,seperately.The expression of the intracellular domain of Notch (NICD),Hes-1 and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blotting.Statistical methods were used including independent samples t test,paired sample t test and single factor analysis of variance. Results Notch1 and Dll-1 protein level increased in colorectal cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal mucosa,the mean values were 1.75-fold and 2.21-fold,respectively(t =2.554,P =0.012 and t =3.565,P =0.005).Also we found that the overexpression of Notch1 and Dl1-1 was related to the differentiation( t =2.463,P =0.017 and t =2.390,P=0.019),staging(t =2.675,P =0.007 and t =2.310,P =0.021) and lymph nodes metastasis(t =2.229,P =0.021 and t =2.210,P =0.023) of colorectal cancer.Treating SW480 cell with Notch pathway inhibitor (γ-secretase inhibitor,DAPT) resulted in growth inhibition,apoptosis induction and there was downregulation of NICD and Bcl-2 expression along with the treating time. Conclusions Overexpression of Notch1 and Dll-1 is related to the pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer.Blockade of Notch1 signal pathway may inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis of colorectal cancer,as well as inhibit the expression of Bcl-2.
