Background The pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) and high myopia are very complex.To construct the regulatory network of virulence genes and relevant genes that involved in pathogenicity are helpful for reveal of the pathogenesis.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate myocilin(Myoc),a gene that contributes to POAG and high myopia in eyes of BXD Recombinant Inbred(BXD RI)mice and construct the regulatory network of Myoc.Methods The affymetrix microarray system was used to detect the differential expression of Myoc in the eyes of C57BL/6J(B6),DBA/2J(D2) and BXD RI mice.Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping was performed to construct the regulatory network of Myoc gene.Results The average expression level of the Myoc gene in the BXD strains was 10.83,and the gene exhibited expression levels ranging from 8.39 in BXD55 mice tol 1.43 in B6 mice.The eQTL mapping for the Myoc gene showed a significant likelihood ratio statistic (LRS) of 21.78.The QTL was mapped in chromosome 2,and Myoc was located on chromosome 1,indicating that the Myoc gene was a trans-acting QTL.Olfml2a was identified to be a candidate upstream gene of Myoc by analysis of bioinformatics.Genetic regulatory network analysis demonstrated that a series of genes associated with Myoc probably played roles in the pathogenesis and development of POAG and high myopia.Conclusions The genetical genomics approach provides a powerful tool for constructing pathways that contribute to complex traits,such as POAG and high myopia.

Objective To investigate the effects of neurolytic celiac plexus block(NCPB) on stress response during the early stage of partial hepatectomy(PH) postoperation in rats.Methods Thirty healthy SPF-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group and NCPB group,and then were constructed the 70% PH model.NCPB group received NCPB with 0.5 % lidocaine before closing abdominal,and control group received the same procedures,but 0.9% physiological saline was injected instead of 0.5 % lidocaine.The serum concentration of CRP,GC,ACTH,NA and AD,and the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-1β were determined at 6 hours,12 hours and 24 hours after PH.The western blot assay was performed to examine the expression of GR in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).Results The obvious stress response was produced within 24 hours after PH in rats,postoperative serum CRP,GC,ACTH,NA and AD concentrations increased in the different extent,but the NCPB group were significantly lower than those in the control group in the corresponding time point (P <0.01 or P <0.05).The expression levels of GR in PBMCs in the control group were significantly decreased after PH,and markedly lower than those in the NCPB group in the corresponding time point(P < 0.01).The serum TNF-o and IL-1β levels were gradually increased in the control group and NCPB group within 24 hours after PH.But at the respective time points,the levels in the NCPB group were significantly lower than those in control group(P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).Conclusion Intraoperation NCPB can effectively inhibit postoperative stress response at the early stage after PH,and thereby help to reduce the degree of systemic inflammatory response.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathologic features in patients with ldiopathic cytopenia of undetermined signif-icance (ICUS) ,and provide the diagnostic basis .Methods 10 ICUS patients who did not fulfil minimal diagnostic criteria for MDS but suffered from constant (>6 months) progressive cytopenia ,with no marked dysplasia (<10% in three-major cell lineages) and abnormal karyotype were reported .Results 2 of 10 patients transited to MDS ,bone marrow review showed that ≥2 cells appeared diagnostic pathology development .Karyotype analysis showed that 1 case was still normal ,1 case lost a normal chromosome 20 (20q-) ,the rest 8 cases had been efollowed up for 6 to 25 months and still maintain ICUS .Conclusion Patients with MDS who fail to meet the diagnostic criteria of ICUS ,must carry out regular follow-up .There are some patients can transition to public MDS after a certain incubation period ,in fact it is Pre-MDS or MDS-early before ,which shows that ICUS should cause clinical attention ,so that avoid missed diagnosis .

BACKGROUND:Tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral articular surface present a great challenge due to its complex anatomy.The posterolateral corner complex and the proximity of the common peroneal nerve restrict both the exposure of the joint surface and the ability to distract across the joint using a varus force.OBJECTIVE:To analyze the anatomy,morphology and classifications of the posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau,and compare different surgical approaches and fixation materials.METHODS:A computer-based research of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed for the relative literatures published from 1990 to 2016 using the keywords of tibial plateau,posterolateral fragment,fixation in English and Chinese,respectively.The anatomy,morphology and typing of posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau were analyzed and different surgical approaches and fixation materials were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau should be treated in accordance with the intra-articular fracture principle,such as repairing joint surface to normal morphology,restoring the lower limb alignment,and maintaining joint mobility painlessly.Fractures are clarified according to Schatzker,AO,and three-column classification systems,but still need to be improved.To choose a proper surgical approach mainly depends on the fracture pattern.Biomechanics tests suggest that posterolateral locked plate exhibits excellent biomechanics characters,and can avoid the reduction loss caused by the shear force of fracture fragments.

Objective To investigate the effects of type 2 diabetes on learning and memory of APP/PS1/Tau triple transgenic (3 × Tg) mice of Alzheimer’s disease, and the protective mechanism of liraglutide (LIR) thereof. Methods One month old C57BL/6 mice were set to be control group (WT). One month old 3×Tg mice were divided into control group (Tg), liraglutide group (Tg+LIR), type 2 diabetes group (Tg+T2DM) and liraglutide treatment group (Tg+T2DM+LIR). The model of T2DM was established by feeding the high fat and sugar fodder, and then injecting streptozotocin (STZ) in mice, making sure the fasting blood glucose was more than 7 mmol/L. Then the subcutaneous injection of LIR was administered for 2 months. The values of body weight and fasting blood glucose were detected at age of 5-month. Morris water maze was applied to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability. Western blotting assay was used to measure the levels of phosphorylated Tau, neurofilament (NFs) and insulin receptor substrates. ELISA was used to detect the human Aβ42 to evaluate the effect of LIR on-amyloid. Results LIR can reduce body weight and blood glucose, can alleviate spatial learning and memory damaging caused by T2DM, and also can improve phosphorylated Tau levels, NFs and insulin receptor substrates caused by T2DM, and finally can reduce the deposition ofβ-amyloid of 3 × Tg mice. Conclusion T2DM can aggravate symptoms of AD in 3×Tg mice, and LIR has a protective effect on it.
