Objective To observe the effect of β-asarone on the proliferation, cycle, apoptosis and migration of tumor cells A549, PC3, and PC9-R, thus to provide experimental basis for the application of β-asarone to the treatment of cancer. Methods After A549, PC3, and PC9-R were cultured with different concentrations ofβ-asarone for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h respectively, CCK-8 was used to detect the optical density (D) of cell proliferation, and then the cell proliferation rate was calculated. The flow cytometry was used to measure the cell DNA cycle and cell apoptosis, and Transwell Chambers were used to detect the cell migration. Results After treatment with different concentrations of β-asarone for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h respectively, the growth of A549, PC3, and PC9-R showed declining trend in concentration- and time-dependent manner. The proportion of A549, PC3, and PC9-R at G0/G1 phase was increased, the proportion of the three kinds of cells at S phase and the proliferation indexes were declined, the apoptotic rate of A549, PC3, and PC9-R was increased, and the migration of A549, PC3, and PC9-R was reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with those of the normal control group). Conclusion β-asarone has certain effects on suppressing proliferation, blocking G0/G1 phase developing into S phrase, inhibiting DNA synthesis, promoting the apoptosis, and inhibiting the migration of A549, PC3 and PC9-R.

Objective To observe the short-term visual effects of cataract surgery patients with 1CU accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) compared with aspheric monofocal IOL. Design Non-randomed comparative trial. Participants Consecutively 118 senile cataract patients (118 eyes). Methods 59 cataract patients (59 eyes) were implanted 1CU accommodating IOL (1CU group), and 59 cataract patients (59 eyes) were implanted aspheric monofocal IOL (Tecnis ZA9003 group). All patients were assessed at 3 months post-operation in the aberrations of crystalline, the modulation transfer function contrast sensitivity of 10/100 percent in three sorts distance(40, 63, 100 cm), uncorrected distanced visual acuity(UCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity(UCNVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), best-corrected near visual acuity(BCNVA), distance corrected near visual acuity(DCNVA), pseudo-accommodation, and the rate of off-near glasses. Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity, aberrations, modulation transfer function, contrast sensitivity, pseudo-accommodation, the rate of off-near glasses. Results At 3 months postoperatively, both UCNVA and DCNVA were significantly better in 1CU group than in the aspheric monofocal IOL group (t=8.85, P=0.00; t=13.05, P=0.00). The accommodative range was (2.58?0.37) D in 1CU group and (1.46?0.25) D in monofocal IOL group (t=14.33, P=0.00). In 3 mm and 5 mm pupil diameter the difference of the total aberration and spherical aberration in Tecnis ZA9003 group or 1CU group was significant (3 mm pupil t=18.48, P=0.00; t=5.70, P=0.00. 5 mm pupil t=19.98, P=0.00; t=6.70, P=0.00). At 40 cm and 63 cm, VA scores were higher in 1CU group (85%)than in Tecnis ZA9003 group (25%) (t=3.64, P=0.00; t=2.74, P=0.00; t=2.65, P=0.00; t=2.44, P=0.01). The rate of off-near glasses in 1CU group was better than in the aspheric monofocal IOL group(?2=41.95, P=0.00). Conclusions The 1CU accommodating IOL can provide better useful near visual acuity than aspheric monofocal IOL, especially for the patients who want to get rid of spectacles.
