Abstract?AIM:To compare the loss of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFL ) thickness measurements by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography ( SD -OCT ) in healthy individuals and glaucoma patients with or without progression.? METHODS: A total of 60 eyes, comprising 36 glaucomatous eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and 24 healthy controls, were included in the study over a 2-year period.All eyes underwent at least 4 serial RNFL measurements performed by Cirrus OCT every half a year over a period of 2a.Visual field ( VF) testing was performed by using the Swedish interactive threshold algorithm( SITA) Standard 30-2 program of the Humphrey field analyzer within the same week as the optic disc/RNFL photography. By masked comparative analysis of VF test results and optic disc/RNFL photographs, the eyes were classified into non -progressive and progressive glaucoma cases. Longitudinal loss of RNFL thickness was compared.?RESULTS: The mean follow-up time was 2.1 ±0.3a. Seventeen from 36 subjects were identified as progressors. Mean rates of change in average RNFL thickness were significantly higher for progressors compared with nonprogressors (2.46μm/a vs.1.21μm/a;P <0.001 ). Inferior quadrant RNFL thickness were significantly correlated with MD reduction in glaucoma eyes with progression(r=0.423, P=0.03).? CONCLUSION: Longitudinal measurements of RNFL thickness using SD-OCT show a pronounced reduction in patients with progression compared with patients without progression.Inferior RNFL thickness parameters might be more important in discriminating eyes with progressive glaucomatous optic nerve damage.

International Eye Science 2015;(7):1290-1292
AlM:To discuss the application of prism alternate cover test ( PACT) and perimeter strabismometry in strabismic operation.METHODS: A total of 145 patients with concomitant esotropia or exotropia, aging 2 ~ 50 years old, were included. They were examined by PACT and perimeter strabismometry before operation. The strabismic operations were performed, the orthotropia rate of postoperation was assessed.RESULTS:Using PACT and perimeter strabismometry, there was a significantly difference of deviating angle ( P<0. 05) in mild and severe strabismic group. But there was no significantly difference of deviating angle (P>0. 05) in moderate strabismic group. The functional cure rate of postoperation was respectively 70. 83%, 67. 01%; the clinical cure rate was 20. 84%, 24. 74%; invalid rate was 8. 33%, 8. 25% .CONCLUSlON: The application of PACT and perimeter strabismometry in strabismic operation design, referring to the eye axial length, this can be helpful of improving the cure rate postoperation and decreasing the danger of reopreation.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes of abdominal and peripheral arteries in the patients with familial hypercholesterolemia(FH). Methods The intima-media thickness(IMT), stenotic degree and hemodynamics change of arteries were measured by ultrasonography in three children in 3 FH pedigrees. Results The plaques number and IMT of carotid and femoral arteries in the patients with FH significantly increased. The IMT of vertebral artery, subclavein artery, abdominal aorta, renal artery, illac artery and popliteal artery did not obviously changed. Conclusion Noninvasive vascular ultrasound was a preferred imaging technique to follow up the vascular change in the patients with FH.

Objective To express and purify the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor KIR3DL1 extracelluar domain.Methods pUC57-KIR3DL1 was used as template,KIR3DL1 extracelluar domain was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and cloned into pGEM-T vector with A-T cloning technique.After DNA sequence analysis,the target fragment was inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-DsbA to construct the recombinant vector pET28a-DsbA /KIR3DL1.The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3),and induced with IPTG.Bacterial pellets were resuspended in 8M urea and centrifuged to remove the insoluble material.The crude extract was purified by passing over a Ni-NTA-agarose column.After the inclusion body flowing through the Ni-NTA-agarose affinity chromatography was refolded successfully,it was purified by Superdex75 gel filtration and the purification effects of the fusion protein were identified by SDS-PAGE and western blot.Result Some fusion proteins were expressed in the supernatant,and the others were expressed in the form of inclusion bodies.The purity of fusion protein was over 95% after purification under denaturing condition.Conclusion The highly efficient expression of KIR3DL1 extracelluar domain laid the foundation for the further studies on exploration of the mechanism of immunization recognition between KIR3DL1 and its ligand.

In plant genetic engineering, selectable marker is needed to distinguish transformant. As the commercialization of transgenic plants, people are more and more paying close attention to their safety, among which mainly refers to the safety of selectable marker. In order to increase the safety of transgenic plants, biologists began to search for biosafe selectable marker.Current research progress of taking key enzyme in metabolic pathways were overviewed,which include glycometabolism, amino acid metabolism, hormone metabolism ,nucleotide metabolism and protein metabolism et cetera, as selectable marker in transgenic plants.

The rodipicolinate synthase gene was cloned from Nicotiana tabacum L.cv,which encodes the key enzyme in the synthesis of lysine,and then a vitro molecular reform reliefing feedback suppression was made. Some resistant seedlings were acquired using the mutated gene as selectable marker and analog of lysine as selectable reagent,and the detection results were positive by means of PCR and Real-Time PCR,however the phenotype is somewhat abnormal.
