Dry eye is a chronic ocular surface disease caused by multiple factors. It is caused by the instability of tear film and the imbalance of the microenvironment of ocular surface, and may be accompanied by ocular surface inflammation, damage, and abnormal nerve sensation. The instability of tear film is its core characteristic. Mucin is an important component of the tear film and plays a role in stabilizing the tear film. The reduction of its secretion and the change of its structure lead to the occurrence and development of dry eye. The intracellular Ca2+ signal is the key to controlling the secretion of water and enzymes by exocrine glands. A decrease in the Ca2+ signal can cause dry eye. Conjunctival goblet cells are the main cells that secrete mucin. By activating the intracellular PLC-IP3-Ca2+ pathway, RyRs pathway, cAMP signaling pathway, P2X receptor, BLT1 and ChemR23 receptors, cholinergic receptor, and ALX signaling pathway, the content of Ca2+ can be increased, and the replenishment of mucin granules can be accelerated, thereby relieving the symptoms of dry eye. The Ca2+ signaling pathway may be an important target for the treatment of dry eye. This article reviews the role of mucin in dry eye and the influence of the Ca2+ signal on the secretion of mucin by conjunctival goblet cells.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of different emulsion mixtures and emulsification methods on the inflammation severity in an experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) model in rats, and to analyze the characteristics of the current EAU model. MethodEAU was induced in Lewis rats by subcutaneous injection of interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) 1177-1191 emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA), with or without intraperitoneal injection of pertussis toxin (PTX). Slit lamp examination, HE staining, and optical coherence tomography were used to evaluate factors affecting EAU modeling, including different doses of the emulsion mixture (IRBP1177-1191, PTX, and inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and four different emulsification methods. The classification, characteristics, modeling methods, advantages, and disadvantages of EAU animal models were summarized and analyzed based on the clinical diagnostic criteria and syndrome characteristics of chronic uveitis in both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine, to evaluate the consistency between TCM and western medical syndromes. ResultIncreasing the dose of inactivated M. tuberculosis and antigen peptide in the emulsion mixture exacerbated the anterior segment inflammation in EAU rats. Increasing the injection of PTX also exacerbated anterior segment inflammation and increased retinal thickness in EAU rats. The severity of the EAU model was closely related to the emulsification method used. All four emulsification methods successfully induced EAU in rats. Comparatively, the ultrasonic cell disruptor and T10 basic disperser achieved successful emulsification in a short time. The degree of emulsification of the mixture also influenced the severity of the EAU model in rats. The existing EAU animal model shows a high degree of consistency with western medical diagnoses and the main ocular syndromes in TCM. ConclusionIRBP1177-1191, PTX, inactivated M. tuberculosis, and emulsification methods can affect the severity of the EAU model through different pathways. The existing EAU animal models can simulate the clinical characteristics of western medicine well but lack the etiology, pathogenesis, and syndrome characteristics of TCM. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an EAU animal model that combines disease and syndrome characteristics.

Objective:To explore the application effect of co management mode in the prevention of perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 146 elderly patients with hip fractures who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. A total of 73 patients admitted from January to June 2019 were set as the control group and they were given routine venous thrombosis risk assessment, treatment, education and so on, while 73 patients admitted from July to December 2019 were set as the experimental group and they were given management according to co-management mode. The incidence of VTE, first out-of-bed activity time, hospital stays and expenses, awareness rate of VTE-related knowledge and level of DVT health belief were compared between the two groups.Results:After implementing the co management mode, the incidence of postoperative VTE in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05) . The first out-of-bed activity time and hospital days in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group, the hospital expense was lower than that in the control group, and DVT health belief score and VTE-related knowledge score were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The scores of disease susceptibility, disease severity, health behavior benefits and self-efficacy in DVT health beliefs in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of obstacle and health motivation dimensions of healthy behaviors between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The application of co-management mode in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period can improve DVT health beliefs of patients and improve their VTE-related knowledge mastery, shorten the hospital stay, effectively prevent the occurrence of VTE and promote rapid recovery of patients.
