Objective To explore the casual relationship between immune cells and chronic pancreatitis(CP)using Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods The immune cell phenotypes and CP GWAS data used in this study were obtained from public databases,and 731 immune cell phenotypes were included.The bidirectional MR analysis was used to explore the causal relationship between immune cells and CP,and various sensitivity analysis methods were used to verify the heterogeneity and level multiplicity of the results.Results This study identified 33 immune cell phenotypes with a causal relationship with CP,of which 18 were inhibitory factors,and the rest were risk factors.Among the 18 inhibitory factors,CD25 on CD4+in the Treg cell group showed the most significant inhibitory effect.Among the 15 risk factors,CD8br AC in the TBNK cell group,CD8br on TD CD8br in the mature T cell group,and CD39+CD8br% T cell and CD28 on CD4+in the Treg cell group showed statistical significance.The reverse MR results further confirmed the unidirectionality of the causal relationship.Conclusion Our study revealed the close relationship between immune cells and CP through MR method,highlighting the complex interaction pattern between the immune system and CP.

3.The main effective factors for the visual outcome of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2018;34(3):291-295
Macular edema (ME) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) often cause severe visual impairment.Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents and steroids can effectively eliminate ME and improve visual function,but the visual outcome is affected by multiple factors.Retinal blood flow,especially the macular microcirculation,has significant correlation with visual outcome.Ischemic CRVO,especially patients with severe damage in the deep and superficial vascular layer of the macular zone,usually have poor visual outcome.In addition,the integrity of the multi-layer retinal structure closely correlates with the visual outcome.Patients with intact ellipsoid zone,external limit membrane beneath the fovea have good visual recovery.Additionally,good baseline visual acuity,positive response to treatment in early phase,young age and timely treatment usually brings about better visual outcome.
