Serum IL-18, IL-12 and TNF-α were examined by ELISA. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were examined by automatic biochemical analysis instrument. Results ( 1 ) In hepatitis group, serum concentrations of IL-18,IL-12 and TNF-α were (256±51 ) ng/L, ( 122±96) ng/L and (207±3) ng/L; serum levels of ALT and AST were(363±174) U/L and (359 ±237) U/L, respectively. In ICP group, serum concentrations of IL18, IL-12 and TNF-α were (72±32) ng/L, (42 ±28) ng/L and (48±14) ng/L; serum levels of ALT and AST were (201 ±128) U/L and ( 132±87) U/L, respectively. While in control group, serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-12 and TNF-α were (43 ± 13) ng/L, ( 10±3) ng/L and (33±9) ng/L; serum levels of ALT and AST were (13 ~ 4) U/L and (15 ± 3) U/L, respectively. Serum IL-18, IL-12, TNF-α, ALT and AST levels in hepatitis group were significantly higher than those in ICP group and control group ( P ＜0. 05 ).Serum IL-18, IL-12, TNF-α, ALT and AST levels in ICP group were significantly higher than those in control group(P ＜ 0. 05 ). (2) In severe ICP subgroup, serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-12 and TNF-α were (81 ±32) ng/L, (50 ±25) ng/L and(50 ± 14) ng/L; serum levels of ALT and AST were (269 ± 111 ) U/L and (181±73) U/L In mild ICP subgroup, serum concentrations of IL-18, IL-12 and TNF-α were (48 ±18 ) ng/L, (17 ± 4 ) ng/L and (40 ± 10 ) ng/L; serum levels of ALT and AST were (87±46) U/L and (50 ±21 ) U/L, respectively. Serum IL-18, IL-12, TNF-α, ALT and AST levels in severe ICP subgroup were significantly higher than those in mild ICP subgroup and control group (P ＜ 0. 05). And serum ALT and AST levels in mild ICP subgroup were significantly higher than those in control group(P ＜0. 05). (3) There were 16 cases with preterm birth (50%, 16/32 ) and 10 cases with meconium-stained amniotic fluid( 31%, 10/32 ) in severe ICP subgroup, significantly higher than those in mild ICP subgroup ( P＜ 0. 05 ), which contained 2 preterm births ( 7%, 2/30) and 1 meconium-stained amniotic fluid (3%, 1/30). While in control group, the numbers were 1(3%, 1/30)and 1(3%, 1/30),respectively. As for the cases of neonates whose 1 minute Apgar score were not more than 7, there were 2 cases, 1 case and 1 case in severe ICP subgroup, mild ICP subgroup and control group, respectively,which showed no significant difference(P＞ 0. 05).

AIM: To observe and compare efficacy of the lower eyelid twitch shift joint outer canthal ligament shortening surgery and orbicularis muscle resection surgery to treat degenerative entropion.
METHODS: Patients with degenerative entropion in our hospital were selected. The test group was 40 cases ( 70 eyes), of which double eyes with attack (30 cases), and lower eyelid twitch shift joint outer canthal ligament shortening surgery was applied to the test group. Control group was 20 cases (26 eyes), of which double eyes with attack ( 6 cases ) , and the control group was used by orbicularis muscle resection surgery. The correction rate, double eyelid symmetry and overcorrection rate were observed in two groups at postoperative 1wk. The long-term recurrence rate, double eyelid symmetry and overcorrection rate with follow-up 6mo were observed.
RESULTS: After 1wk, the correction rate of experimental group 98. 6%, undercorrection rate of that was 1. 4%, all the eyelid was symmetry, only one eye with a slight overcorrection. Correction rate of control group was 92. 3%; all the eyelid was symmetry, and the poor rate of this group was 7. 7%. After 6mo, correction rate of experimental group was 95. 2%; undercorrection rate of experimental group was 3. 2%, and overcorrection rate was 1. 6%. Correction rate of control group was 87%, and 2 eyes of recurrence, 1 eye with a poor overcorrection. Double eyelid was symmetry, overcorrection rate difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0. 05 ), and the correction rate were significantly different (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Compared toorbicularis muscle resection surgery, postoperative recurrence rate of lower eyelid twitch shift joint outer canthal ligament shortening surgery is significantly lowered.

Objective To explore transthyretin (TTR) effect on retinal vascular endothelial cells (hREC) under high glucose and hypoxia environment.Methods hREC and human retinal pigment epithelial cell (hRPEC) were cultured at low-glucose (LG),high glucose (HG) and hypoxia.The glucose concentration was increased from 5.5 mmol/L up to 25 mmol/L,and hypoxia was induced by 200 μmol/L CoCl2.The cells were divided into LG group,LG-hypoxia group,HG group,HG-hypoxia group according to the different cell culture environment.The growth index was detected at 0,4,8,16,24,36,48,60,72 hours after cultured.Furthermore,hREC and hRPEC were also cultured with additional TTR (4 μmol/L),respectively.Then transwell co-culture system was employed to reveal the effects of hRPEC on the growth of hREC.Results At 72 hours after cultured,the growth index of hREC and hRPEC in LG group were increased as compared with LG-hypoxia group and HG group (hREC:F=17.098,22.970;P＜0.05.hRPEC:F=45.442,9.011;P＜0.05);the growth index of hREC and hRPEC were decreased in HG group and HG-hypoxia group (hREC:F=146.184,P＜0.05;hRPEC:F=27.907,P＜0.05).Additionally,hREC could be significantly repressed by added TTR during culture with high concentration of glucose (F=161.430,24.106;P＜0.05).hREC could be significantly increased by added TTR during culture with low concentration of glucose (F =200.486,48.662;P ＜ 0.05).In co-culture process,hRPEC revealed inhibition activity against hREC under both natural and abnormal environment (LG group:F=15.711,P＜ 0.05;LG-hypoxia group:F =45.659,P＜0.05;HG group:F =7.857,P ＜0.05;HG-hypoxia group:F=6.348,P＜0.05).Conclusion Under high glucose and hypoxia environment,the growth of hREC from neovascular could be inhibited by TTR.
