OBJECTIVETo assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PLEKHA7, COL11A1 and PCMTD1-ST18 genes and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) among ethnic Han Chinese from Sichuan Province.
METHODSIn this study, 362 subjects with PACG and 1056 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. Genotypes of 3 reported SNPs, including PLEKHA7 rs11024102, COL11A1 rs3753841 and PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213 were determined with a SNaPshot method.
RESULTSThe P values for the genotype frequencies of rs11024102, rs3753841 and rs1015213 between the patient and control groups were 0.62 (OR=1.09, 95%CI: 0.91-1.30), 0.42 (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 0.87-1.41) and 0.34 (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 0.73-2.49), respectively. And the P values for the allele frequency distributions of PLEKHA7 rs11024102, COL11A1 rs3753841 and PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213 between the two groups were 0.347, 0.698 and 0.344, respectively.
CONCLUSIONNo significant association of PLEKHA7 rs11024102, COL11A1 rs3753841 and PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213 with PACG was found among ethnic Han Chinese from Sichuan.

Microbial cells cultivation is not only the origin, but also the foundation of microbiology. Researches in microbiology can only be carried out when the microbial cells can be cultured. However, conventional microbial cell cultivation is not only time consuming and labour intensive, but human error is also inevitable. Recent years, automated, modularised microbial cells micro-cultivation systems with small volume, good controllability, and equipped with real-time monitoring system have attracted great attention in microbiology. This review presents the state-of-the-art micro-cultivation systems which are implemented in microbial cells cultivation. The key development, applications of various system classified based on their construction, and the prospects of micro-cultivation system are discussed and insights into them are also provided.
