Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)is a treatment for many malignant tumors of blood system and severe immunodeficiency, and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)is one of the major complications after transplantation, which seriously affects the life quality of patients. The cGVHD can attack all the target tissues of the eye. The more common ones are lacrimal gland, eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea and limbus, meibomian gland, etc. The pathophysiological process is inflammation and fibrosis. Although many researchers at home and abroad have gradually begun to explore the disease and obtained many new findings, its pathology and pathogenesis are still not fully understood, and there is no unified and effective treatment. Clinically, the treatment of the disease is usually when symptoms have appeared. At this time, the target tissue is likely to have irreversible and permanent damage, resulting in a protracted and refractory situation. Therefore, this thesis mainly clarifies the research progress of the pathology and pathogenesis of ocular cGVHD in recent years, in order to provide new guidance for the treatment of the disease.

Objective To study the expression and significance of Nrf2 and caspase-3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The specimens from 82 cases of NSCLC in our hospital from September 2015 to December 2017 were selected for observation.All patients were surgically resected to obtain NSCLC specimens.The expression of Nrf2 and caspase-3 in NSCLC was detected by immunohistochemistry and its clinical significance was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of Nrf2 in NSCLC (63.4%) was significantly higher than that in normal tissue (30.0%),with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).The analysis of clinical characteristics showed that the expression of Nrf2 in NSCLC was related to tumor diameter,tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (P < 0.05).The expression of Nrf2 in NSCLC was not significantly associated with gender,age,smoking history,case classification,and histological differentiation (P > 0.05).The positive rate of caspase-3 in NSCLC (40.2%) and the positive rate of caspase-3 in normal tissues (40.0%) were not statistically different (P > 0.05).Analysis of clinical characteristics showed that the expression of caspase-3 in NSCLC was related to TNM stage,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05);the expression of Nrf2 in NSCLC was not significantly associated with gender,age,smoking history,case classification,tissue differentiation,and tumor diameter (P > 0.05).Conclusions The abnormal expression of Nrf2 and caspase-3 is correlated with the progression of NSCLC and the malignant biological behavior.Active detection of Nrf2 and caspase-3 levels can clinically determine the clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis of NSCLC,providing information to facilitate clinical development of relevant interventions.

Objective:
To elucidate the mechanism of melatonin combined with cisplatin in promoting cell apoptosis of rat pancreatic cancer AR42J cells.
Methods:
Rat pancreatic cancer AR42J cells were divided into control group, 1 mmol/L cisplatin treated group (cisplatin group), 1 mmol/L melatonin treated group (melatonin group), 1 mmol/L cisplatin combined with 1 mmol/L melatonin treated group (combined group), 1 μmol/L cisplatin combined with melatonin treated group after 1 μmol/L PBN pretreatment for an hour (PBN+ combined group) and 1 μmol/L cisplatin combined with melatonin treated group after PBN solvent pretreatment for an hour (solvent+ combined group). MTT and annexin V-FITC/PI were used to detect the cell proliferation rate and cell apoptosis rate, respectively. The protein expression of caspase-3 was detected by Western blot. DCFH-DA was used to detect the level of ROS. ROS level and caspase-3 expression in AR42J cells pretreated with ROS antagonist PBN for 24 hours were detected.
Results:
The cell proliferation rate of control group, cisplatin group, melatonin group and combination group after 24-hour culture was (96.29±3.49)%, (81.38±6.01)%, (80.72±3.68)% and (42.26±6.35)%, respectively. The cell apoptosis rate was (16.42±4.15)%, (56.47±9.06)%, (52.94±6.57)% and (87.36±6.48)%, respectively. The percentage of ROS positive cells was (1.33±1.53)%, (46.67±7.64)%, (45.67±5.13)% and (83.33±7.64)%, respectively. The expression of cspase-3 was 100%, (150.64±7.70)%, (147.00±7.27)% and (190.04±5.07)%, respectively. The cell proliferation rate of cisplatin group and melatonin group was significantly lower than that of the control group. The apoptotic rate, the proportion of ROS positive cells and the expression of caspase-3 were significantly higher than those in control group. The changes in the combined group were more obvious than those in the single drug treatment group, and the differences were all statistically significant (all

Objective:
To explore the differences of temperament characteristics between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and normal children, and to provide evidence for early detection of ASD children and the development of personalized treatment plans.
Methods:
In this case-control study, we enrolled 129 ASD children and 129 normal children aged 3-7 years. The Behavioral Style Questionnaire (BSQ) scale was used to assess the temperament.
Results:
ASD children got higher scores in terms of "activity level", "withdrawal", "adaptability", "emotional nature", "persistence", and "response threshold" temperament dimensionality scores(P<0.05), and lower scores in terms of "rhythmical", "response intensity" temperament dimensionality scores than normal children(P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in "attention dispersiveness" between ASD group and control group(P>0.05). Among the children in the ASD and control group, the proportion of each temperament type was "easy to raise temperament type" (41.8% vs 62.8%), "partially easy to raise temperament type" (31.8% vs 27.9%), "partially difficult to raise temperament type" (17.1% vs 6.2%), “slow-up-towarm temperament type" (7.7% vs 2.3%) and "difficult to raise temperament type" (1.6% vs 0.8%).Statistical analysis showed that the rate of "easy to raise temperament type" was lower than that in normal children(P<0.05), while the rates of "partially easy to raise temperament type", "partially difficult to raise temperament type", "difficult to raise temperament type", and "slow-up-to-warm temperament type" in ASD children were higher(P<0.05).
Conclusion
There was significant difference in temperament characteristics between ASD children and normal children. The evaluation of temperament type contributes to early detection of ASD children and provides a reference for their behavioral correction.

Objective:
To explore the characteristics of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) in children with ASD, and analyze their relation with the core symptoms of ASD.
Methods:
Ninty children aged 2-6 with ASD were recruited from Harbin in this study. The data of ABR was collected by using BAEP, and the association among children’s absolute latency and interpeak latency of ABR, core symptoms of ASD children’s behavior and clinical manifestation was analyzed.
Results:
Compared with the normal average value, children with ASD had longer the absolute latency of wave Ⅰ,Ⅲ,Ⅴ in bilateral ears, which were (1.51±0.20)(3.83±0.34)(5.63±0.23)ms, (1.54±0.16) (3.78±0.23) (5.63±0.22)ms, respectively(P<0.05). Some children’s interpeak latency of Ⅰ-Ⅲ, Ⅲ-Ⅴ, Ⅰ-Ⅴ were longer than normal values. Children younger than 3 years old showed prolonged peak intervals of Ⅰ-Ⅲ and Ⅰ-Ⅴ than children in 3-7 years old. The study has also showed that there was positive correlation between the absolute latency of waveⅠin left ear and the social function defect(r=0.45, P<0.05); there was positive correlation between the latency of wave Ⅴin right ear or the latency of waveⅠin left ear or the Ⅰ-Ⅲ peakinterval and nonverbal communication ability dysfunction(r=0.35, 0.39, 0.34, P<0.05); there was positive correlation between the Ⅰ-Ⅲ peak interval and the repeated stereotyped symptoms(r=0.39, 0.35, P<0.05).
Conclusion
Children with ASD have abnormal auditory behavior. The absolute latency and interpeak latency of ABR is correlated to some parts of core symptoms of ASD.
