Objective To investigate the effects of kaempferol on the oxidative damage and apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2),as well as its regulatory role in the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(JAK2/STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods Human lens epithelial cells HLE-B3 were cultured in vitro and divided into the blank group(no intervention),the model group(400 pmol?L-1 H2O2),the kaempferol group(400 μmol?L-1 H2O2+40 pmol?L-1 kaempferol),the AG490 group(400 pmol?L-1 H2O2+50 μmol?L-1 JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor AG490),the inhibitor group(400 pmol?L-1 H2O2+40 pmol?L-1 kaempferol+50 μmol?L-1 AG490),and the activator group(400 pmol?L-1 H2O2+40 pmol?L-1 kaempferol+0.5 μmol?L-1 JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway activator C-A1).After 24 h of intervention,Hoechst 33258 staining was used to determine the ap-optosis rate of these cells.Malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)kits were used to detect the levels of MDA and SOD.The protein expression levels of Cysteine aspartic protease 3(Caspase-3),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank group,the apop-tosis rate,the MDA level,and the protein expression levels of Caspase-3,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 increased(all P<0.05)in the model group,while the protein expression levels of SOD and Bcl-2 decreased(all P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the apoptosis rate,the MDA level,and the protein expression levels of Caspase-3,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 decreased in the kaempferol and AG490 groups(all P<0.05),while the protein expression levels of SOD and Bcl-2 increased(all P<0.05).Compared with the kaempferol group,the apoptosis rate,the MDA level,and the protein expression levels of Caspase-3,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 decreased in the inhibitor group,while the protein expression levels of SOD and Bcl-2 in-creased(all P<0.05);the changes in the above indicators in the activator group were opposite to those in the inhibitor group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Kaempferol can protect HLE-B3 cells from H2O2-induced oxidative damage and inhibit their apoptosis by inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the effect of Mirena assisted progesterone capsule in the treatment of endometrial polyps after hysteroscopic polypectomy (TCRP).Methods:One hundred and two patients with endometrial polyps treated with TCRP in Shapingba District People′s Hospital of Chongqing City from September 2018 to September 2019 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 51 cases in each group. In the control group, levonorgestrel intrauterine system was placed in the uterine cavity after operation, and the observation group was given progesterone capsule for 3 menstrual cycles on the basis of the control group. The curative effect, endometrial thickness, menstrual condition (menstrual period and menstrual volume) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups; and the endometrial tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor (C-kit), C-kit ligand stem cell factor (SCF) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1(ALDH1) levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment for 3 menstrual cycles, the total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 96.08% (49/51) vs. 82.35% (42/51), χ2 = 4.99, P<0.05. After treatment for 3 menstrual cycles, the endometrial thickness, menstrual period and menstrual volume in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group: (0.50 ± 0.09) cm vs. (0.63 ± 0.12) cm, (5.08 ± 0.64) d vs. (6.14 ± 0.79) d, (182.27 ± 15.04) ml vs. (236.17 ± 17.18) ml, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treatment for 3 menstrual cycles, the levels of C-kit, SCF and ALDH1 in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group: 0.11 ± 0.02 vs. 0.18 ± 0.03, 0.20 ± 0.04 vs. 0.29 ± 0.05, 0.13 ± 0.03 vs. 0.20 ± 0.04, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). The recurrence rate 12 months after treatment in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 2.08% (1/48) vs. 17.07% (7/41), χ2 = 4.38, P<0.05. Conclusions:The treatment of levonorgestrel intrauterine system combined with progesterone capsule has a positive effect on the recovery of endometrium and menstruation after TCRP for endometrial polyps. It can regulate the expression of related factors in endometrial tissue and reduce recurrence.

Objective To observe the effects of combined surgeries for the correction of congenital ptosis accompanied by epicanthus.Methods 80 cases (105 eyes) of congenital ptosis were analyzed in this study.64 cases (80 eyes),with levator muscle strength more than 4 mm,were treated with suspension of frontal aponeurosis,and 16 cases (25 eyes),with levator muscle strength less than 4 mm,were treated with shorten operation of levator palpebrae superioris.Furthermore,all these patients were corrected the epicanthus at the same time.Results Except the under correction in 5 cases (8 eyes),the remaining patients were corrected satisfactorily.Postoperative palperbal fissure length was averagely increased by 2.0± 1.0 mm,inner canthic diameter was averagely decreased by 4.0± 2.0 mm,the eyelid height was increased by average 9.0±1.0 mm,the inclination of palpebral fissure was 12.0°±2.0°;64 cases (80 eyes) were treated with suspension of frontal aponeurosis,postoperative recurrence were 7.5% (6/80),no postoperative recurrence were 92.5% (74/80),complication were 5.0% (4/80);16 cases (25 eyes) were treated with shorten operation of levator palpebrae superioris,postoperative recurrence were 8.0% (2/25),and no postoperative recurrence were 8.0% (2/25);complication rates were 4.0% (1/25).Conclusions This procedure of combined surgeries can reduce the recurrence rate effectively.Moreover,the satisfactory,functional,and aesthetic results can be obtained simultaneously with this method.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the individualized treatment of congential entropion.Methods Totally 150 patients (285 eyes) with congenital entropion were analyzed,the individualized procedures were performed,including the simple incision and suture surgery for simple congenital entropion,removing the redundant skin of lower eyelid for congenital entropion with redundant skin of lower eyelid but without epicanthus,the correction of entropion combined withY-V epicanthoplasty for congenital entropion with epicanthus and the recession of lower eyelid retractor for congenital entropion with lower eyelid retraction.The clinical effect,the percentage of cure and the complication of these cases were evaluated.Results The excellent results were achieved and no relapse or complications occurred in all cases.The total cure rate was 98.6% (281 of 285 eyes).The cure rate of simple congenital entropion was 92.0% (23 of 25 eyes).The cure rate of congenital entropion with redundant skin of lower eyelid was 100% (41 of 41 eyes).The cure rate of congenital halflength entropion accompanied by epicanthus was 99.4 % (179/180 eyes).The cure rate of congenital entropion associated with lower eyelid retraction was 97.4% (38 of 39 eyes).Conclusions Individualized operations not only have well curative effect for various congenital entropions,but recurrence rate and complications have been reduced.

AIM:To study the effect of contact system in monocyte adhesion induced by urokinase-type plasminogen activator (U-PA). METHODS:U937 cells were labeled with [3H] thymidine in the culture medium, test reagents were added into the cell suspension in 24-well plates. The counts?min -1 were counted in a liquid scintillation counter. RESULTS:U-PA-induced monocyte adhesion was inhibited by high-molecular-weight kininogen and kallikrein, and promoted by factor Ⅻ and plasminogen. CONCLUSION:these contact system proteins may be important modulators of U-PA-induced monocyte adhesion, a process which is involved in many pathophysiological events.
