ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in lung tissue of mice with acute paraquat poisoning, and discuss its pathological mechanism.Methods Fifty-eight healthy male mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 8) and poisoned group (n = 50). The mice in poisoned group were lavaged with 20% paraquat (50 mg/kg), and those in control group with equal amount of normal saline. The mice were sacrificed on the day of experiment in control group, and those in poisoned group at 6 hours and 1, 3, 7, 14 days after poisoning. The lung tissue was harvested to observe the changes in pathology of lung with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The positive expression of HO-1 was determined with immunohistochemistry, and the protein expression of HO-1 was determined with Western Blot. The contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) were determined.Results The mice showed shortness of breath and signs of exhaustion 1 hour after poisoning, getting worse on 3-5 days, but returned to normal 14 days after poisoning. Under the light microscope, it showed that the control group had no significant pathological changes in lung tissue. One day after the ingestion, pulmonary alveolar structure disorder, obvious hemorrhage, edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells were found. At 3 days, the pathological changes in the lung tissue were more pronounced. They were less pronounced on 7 days, and inflammatory changes disappeared on 14th day, but alveolar structure disorder remained. Immunohistochemical test showed that HO-1 was seldom expressed in the lung tissue, and a little amount was expressed in the mucosal epithelial cells of the airway in control group. It was shown that inflammatory cell and endothelial were mainly distributed in the mucosal epithelial cells of airway 1 day after poisoning followed by a gradually decrease tendence, and came to normal level of control group 7 days after poisoning. It was shown by Western Blot that HO-1 (gray value) in lung tissue increased 6 hours after poisoning (2.438±0.467 vs. 0.475±0.167,P< 0.01), peaked at 1 day (9.200±0.940 vs. 0.475±0.167,P< 0.01), continued to increase till 7 days after poisoning, and it lowered to normal level thereafter (0.825±0.260 vs. 0.475±0.167,P> 0.05). The SOD activity (μU/L) in lung tissue was lowered 6 hours after poisoning, and it was significantly lower than that of control group (649.681±13.951 vs. 1 167.051±15.744,P< 0.01), and it continued to decrease up to 14 days after poisoning (859.733±121.079 vs. 1 167.051±14.744,P< 0.01). MDA content (μmol/L) in the lung tissue homogenate was elevated 6 hours after poisoning with significant difference compared with that of the control group (4.542±0.266 vs. 3.705±0.176,P< 0.01). It peaked on day 1 (5.956±0.281 vs. 3.705±0.176,P< 0.01), then it declined and reached normal level 3 days after poisoning (4.134±0.168 vs. 3.705±0.176,P> 0.05).Conclusion HO-1 expression was increased significantly in lung tissue of mice with acute paraquat poisoning, which may be considered as an important protection mechanism against paraquat poisoning.

CD59 antigen is a widely expressed cell surface glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) anchored glycoprotein.It acts as an inhibitor to the assembly of the membrane attack complex of homologous complement,binds to CD2,and also transduces activation signals with T cells.In this report,a 396bp DNA fragment was amplified by RT-PCR method from the total RNA of Jurkat cells.The fragment was cloned into pUC18 and pUC19 plas-mids,and further sequenced by Sanger′s-dideory-mediated chain termination.The results showed that this cDNA fragment included 384bp open reading fragment and its sequence was identical to the published sequence encoding human CD59 antigen.Furthermore,the cDNA of CD59 was subcloned into retroviral vector pLXSN and transfec-ted into packaging cell line PA317 to generate stable virus-producing cell lines.Then,mouse thymotase cell line EL-4 and fibroblasts cell line NIH3T3 were infected with the virus resulting in stable expression of CD59 on the cell surface.The transfected cells were tested for their susceptibility to human complement-mediated cytolysis.It was found that the transfected cells expressing CD59 antigen were far less susceptible than the controls,indicating that the gene for CD59 can be expressed in xenotypic cells stably to confer protection against human serum complement.

AlM:To compare the functional and cosmetic effects of two different surgical techniques for congenital ptosis.
METHODS: The patients were divided into four groups according to the operation method: Patients undertook bilateral fascial suspension surgery as Group A ( 42 eyes of 21 cases ); Patients undertook bilateral levator muscle shortening surgery as Group B ( 38 eyes of 19 cases );Patients undertook unilateral fascial suspension surgery as Group C ( 24 eyes of 24 cases ); Patients undertook unilateral levator muscle shortening surgery as Group D (29 eyes of 29 cases). Each group patients were followed for postoperative function and appearance effect.
RESULTS: 1 ) Early postoperative of two operation function success rate was up to 100%, the function of levator muscle shortening surgery was 97. 01% in the late postoperative, was higher than bilateral fascial suspension surgery (87. 88%), with statistical difference in both surgerys (P<0. 05). 2) Appearance effect of two kinds of operation method in early postoperative had no statistical difference (P >0. 05); ln the late postoperative, the mean grades for “Lid Contour” and “Lid Crease” of Group B were better than that of Group A (P<0. 01). While the mean grades for “Lid Contour”, “Symmetry of Lid Height” and “Lid Crease” of Group D were similarly better than that of Group C (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSlON: Two kinds of operation method have good effects on the treatment of congenital ptosis. ln terms of cosmetic effect, levator muscle shortening surgery is better.
