Objective To analyze the changes and clinical significance of aqueous humor stromal cell-de-rived factor-1(SDF-1),macrophage chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and soluble adhesion molecule CD44(sCD44)in patients with diabetic cataract(DC).Methods A total of 80 patients with DC admitted to the hos-pital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the DC group,and 40 patients with simple cataract during the same period were selected as the age-related cataract group.According to the stage of cataract,DC patients were divided into group A(incipient stage,32 cases),group B(intumescent stage,26 cases)and group C(mature stage and over mature stage,22 cases).According to the presence or absence of macular ede-ma after treatment,the patients were divided into occurrence group(20 cases)and non-occurrence group(60 cases).The levels of SDF-1,MCP-1 and sCD44 in each group were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to analyze the value of SDF-1,MCP-1 and sCD44 levels in the diagnosis of DC.Results The levels of SDF-1,MCP-1 and sCD44 in the DC group were higher than those in the age-related cataract group(P<0.05),and the levels of SDF-1,MCP-1 and sCD44 in the A,B and C groups increased sequentially(P<0.05).The level of MCP-1 in the occurrence group was higher than that in the non-occurrence group(P<0.05).The AUC of MCP-1,sCD44 and SDF-1 in the diagnosis of DC was 0.869,and the diagnostic efficiency was better.Conclusion The changes of aqueous SDF-1,MCP-1 and sCD44 levels are related to the stage of cataract in DC patients.Dynam-ic monitoring of these three indexes,especially MCP-1,is helpful to judge the condition and prognosis of DC patients.

Objective To investigate the pathological and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of orbital diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods A total of 48 patients with orbital DLBCL were selected via a retrospective case-control study in the orbital DLBCL group, and 51 patients with DLBCL of primary central nervous system during the same period were included in primary DLBCL group. The clinical characteristics and MRI features of the orbital DLBCL group were analyzed, and the pathological characteristics and peripheral blood platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) were compared between the two groups. Results The main clinical manifestations of orbital DLBCL patients included local orbital mass in 48 cases (100.00%), limited ocular motility in 38 cases (79.17%), exophthalmos in 33 cases (68.75%), decreased visual acuity in 25 cases (52.08%), diplopia in 17 cases (35.42%), and epistaxis in 9 cases (18.75%). Orbital DLBCL predominantly occurred in the extraconal space (54.17%), with lesions mostly located above the orbit (52.08%). T1-weighted images mainly showed intermediate signal intensity (60.42%), T2-weighted images mainly showed intermediate (56.25%) and high signal intensity (29.17%), diffusion-weighted images mainly showed high signal intensity (58.33%), and apparent diffusion coefficient maps mainly showed low signal intensity (60.42%). There were no statistically significant differences in histopathological subtype, CD20 positive expression, CD79a positive expression, CD45RO positive expression, International Prognostic Index score, and pathological stage between the two groups (P>0.05). The PLR in the orbital DLBCL group was higher, while NLR and LMR were lower than that in the primary DLBCL group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Orbital DLBCL exhibits specific clinical manifestations and MRI characteristics. MRI can serve as the primary diagnostic tool, and its combination with pathological immunohistochemical analysis and peripheral blood PLR, NLR, and LMR test results can improve the accuracy and timeliness of diagnosis.

Objective:To study the effects of soybean isoflavone (SI) on metabolism of lipids and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in ovariectomized rats . Methods:Senventy female Sprague- Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 7 groups according to the levels of total cholesterol (TC) in serum: high-lipid (HF) group, estrogen (EG) group, low-dose SI (L-SI) group, middle-dose SI (M-SI) group, high-dose SI (H-SI) group, sham group and normal control (NC) group. One week after bilateral ovaries were extirpated, except sham and NC group, estrogen, different doses of SI or deionized water were fed i.g. for 12 w. Except NC group, the other groups were fed high fat diet. Body weights were weighed every week and blood and heart were collected at the end of experiment. The serum TC, triglyceride(TG), high or low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C), Lp (a), and antioxidative enzymes activities were assayed. Results:After SI intervention, the levels of LDL-C in SI groups were significantly lower than in HF group but higher than in NC group. The levels of Lp (a) were also changed, but there was almost no effect on HDL-C. Persistent intervention with SI can reduce TC, TG , and protect cadiocyte’s actin filament andmitochondrial ultramicrostructure from damage as shown in HF group. The ultramicroscopic pictures in EG and H-SI group almost resembled NC group. Conclusion:Persistent intervention of high-dose SI can reduce the levels of LDL-C, TC, TG and protect the myocardiac damages due to high fat diet in ovariectomized rats.
