Ocular surface is a special interface between the inner ocular tissue and the external environment.It provides effective physical and biological barriers to prevent environmentally harmful substances and pathogenic microbes invading into the eye.This protection is afforded by unique local anatomy and cellular components, especially the resident immune cells such as innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), macrophages, mast cells, Langerhans cells(LCs) and γδ T cells.Recent studies reinforce the importance of LCs and mast cells as inducers of immune tolerance.Most adult tissue macrophage populations are seeded before birth and maintained in the steady state independently of monocytes from blood.However, under inflammatory condition, some transient monocytes enter into tissue and become macrophage compartments.Monocytes are subdivided into two main phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets.The first main subset is dedicated to the surveillance of endothelial integrity.The second main subset compasses classical monocyte functions such as rapid migration to the sites of injury and the replenishment of peripheral dendritic cells and macrophage compartments.In addition, newly identified ILCs are founded in the ocular surface tissues.These cell groups defens the different stimulus from external environment by producing different cytokines and growth factors.Accumulating data highlight some key roles of tissue-resident immune cells in ocular surface homeostasis and pathology.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of adrenomedulin(ADM) and calcitonin-gene-relat-ed peptide(CGRP) at different time before,during and after laparoscopic operation for treating CO2 pneumoperitone-urn. Methods 47 cases undergoing laparoscopic operation in our hospital were selected. Plasma ADM and CGRP levels were determined by RIA before anesthesia(T0),10 min before (T1) and 10 min (T2) ,30 min (T3),60 min (T4),and 30 min (TS) after CO2 pneumoperitoneum was treated. Results There was statistical significance in ADM and CGRP level at the different time points before and after CO2 pneumoperitoneum (F=9.686 and 49.804, P<0.01). There was no significance in ADM and CGRP level at TO and T1 (P>0.05);ADM level would decrease at T2 (P<0.05) but CGRP level decrease slowly with no remarkable change as compared with that before CO2 pneumoperitoneum(P>0.05). With time going on, ADM and CGRP level at T3 and T4 was remarkably lower than that at T1 (P<0.01);ADM and CGRP level at T5 would come to that at T1. Conclusions CO2 pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic operation is the major factor causing decreased ADM and CGRP level;The decrease of ADM and CGRP level will influence the cardiac endocrine function,so CO2 pneumoperitoneum operation should be taken seri-ously when the patients have heart disease and cryptorrhea.

NOK is a newly identified receptor protein-tyrosine kinase (PRTK) molecule that can promote tumorigenesis and metastasis. Previous data showed that NOK could activate the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) pathway in stable BaF3 cells. But how does NOK activate PI3K in cells remains unknown. It was showed that NOK physically interacted with the PI3K downstream effector Akt and enhanced its activation in human embryo kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells. Deletion mapping indicated that protein kinase B (Akt) was able to directly contact with the kinase domain of NOK. Inactivating the Akt kinase domain significantly reduced the intermolecular interaction between NOK and Akt, while constitutively active mutant of Akt apparently had a stronger interaction with NOK. NOK did not have an additive effect on insulin-mediated Akt activation. Overall, the results indicate that NOK might complex with Akt and directly activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
