Objective To explore the diagnostic value on 24 hour monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods A prospective study was applied, and a total of 372 subjects through January 2012 to May 2015 for 24 hour IOP monitoring were collected successively, including 137 subjects (271 eyes) with glaucoma (glaucoma group) and 235 subjects (470 eyes) with non-glaucoma (Control group). Data was analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software, and the Kappa statistics was used to evaluate concordance between 24 hour monitoring of IOP and gold standard for POAG diagnosis. Results The mean value of IOP at all monitoring period in glaucoma group was significant higher than that in the control group (P < 0.001). The peak of IOP occurred at 6:00 am and 10:00 in the glaucoma group, and the fluctuation value of IOP in women patients at night (especially at 22:00 pm) was higher than that of men (t=2.064, P=0.04). The sensitivity and specificity of 24 hour IOP monitoring for POAG were 97% and 78.7%, respectively, and with a high consistency comparing to the result of gold standard for POAG diagnosis, with the Kappa values of 0.707 (P < 0.000 1). Conclusion 24 hour IOP monitoring is efficacy and convenient tool, which can be applied alone or combined with other tools to assist early diagnosis patients who are suspected with POAG, so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

【 Abstract 】 Objective To observe the effect of disruption of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1 α ) pathway by small hairpin RNA (shRNA) on chemosensitivity of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and to reveal the correlative mechanisms. Methods Plasmid of pshRNA-HIF-1α was transfected into HepG2 cells by lipofectamine. HepG2/pshRNA-HIF-1α (HepG2/pshRNA) cell lines were obtained by selection of HepG2 cells in G418. Meanwhile, plasmid of empty vector (pHK) was transfected as a control (HepG2/pHK). The mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α and mdr1 were investigated by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. Using CoCl2 to simulate the hypoxia condition, growth inhibition and apoptosis rates of HepG2 cells under different dosages of chemotherapeutic agents (adriamycin) were measured by MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM) . ResultsCompared with HepG2/pHK cells, the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1αand mdr1 were obviously down-regulated in HepG2/pshRNA cells. At the same time, the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis rates were evidently increased after transfection with pshRNA-HIF-1α(P<0.05),which decreased the expression of HIF-1αto 82.18% at mRNA level and 75.51% at protein level. There was no significant effect of transfection pHK (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion These data demonstrates that HIF-1α interference by shRNA increased the sensitivity of HCC chemotherapy and the reversal of multidrug resistance, which may be done by down-regulating the transcription of mdr1 and the translation of P-gp. Blocking HIF-1αin HCC cells may offer an new avenue for gene therapy.
ObjectiveTo introduce sensitivity and homogeneity tests in network meta-analysis and its implementation in R software. MethodsUsing an example, we performed sensitivity analysis by comparing the random effect model with the fixed effect model. Homogeneity analysis was performed using metaphor package and combinat package in R software. ResultsThe results of the two models were similar, and the data was steady. The results of homogeneity analysis showed that the confidential intervals in all loops were crossed over with blank value; and direct and indirect estimates of the effects in network meta-analysis were not significantly different, with good homogeneity. ConclusionNetwork meta-analysis is a kind of indirect comparison analysis method, and its sensitivity is especially important. The introduction of homogeneity makes network meta-analysis more accurate. Using R software for sensitivity and homogeneity analysis in network meta-analysis is a feasible method.
Objective To investigate the protective effects of ischemic postconditioning (IPo) on ischemiareperfusion (I/R) myocardium and the relationship with mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sensitive K+ channels (mitoKATP) and provide evidences to the development of druginduced postconditioning. Methods Langendorff models were established in 40 Wistar rats which were divided into 5 groups by random number table with 8 rats in each group. Normal control group(NC group): the rat hearts were continuously reperfused by KrebsHenseleit bicarbonate buffer (K-HB) for 100 min without any other treatment; I/R group: the rat hearts underwent a 40-min global ischemia followed by a 60-min reperfusion; IPo group: after a 40-min global ischemia, the process of 10-second reperfusion followed by a 10-second ischemia was repeated 6 times, then there was a continuous 58min reperfusion; 5-hydroxydecanoic acid(5-HD) group: after a 40min global ischemia, hearts with 5HD(100 μmol/L) K-HB were reperfused for 15min and then perfused without 5HD for 45min;IPo+5-HD group: after a 40-min global ischemia, the process that the isolated hearts with 5-HD(100 μmol/L) KHB were reperfused for 10second followed by a 10second ischemia was repeated 6 times, then the hearts with 5-HD(100 μmol/L) KHB were continuously [CM(159mm]perfused for 13-min followed by reperfusion without 5-HD(100 μmol/L) K-HB for 45-min. The cardiac function,coronary flow(CF), cardiac troponin I(cTnI) content in coronary effluent, the area of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and myocardial ultrastructure were observed. Results Left ventricular developed pressure(74.3±3.3 mm Hg vs. 57.1±3.3 mm Hg,t=1300, P=0.000),+dp/dtmax(1 706.6±135.6 mm Hg/s vs. 1 313.3±96.2 mm Hg/s,t=6.28,P=0.000),-dp/dtmax(1 132.8±112.1 mm Hg/s vs. 575.7±67.7 mm Hg/s,t=13.48, P=0.000) and CF(6.49±0.30 ml/min vs. 3.70±0.24 ml/min,t=28.6,P=0.000) in IPo group were higher than those in I/R group. Left ventricular enddiastolic pressure(10.9±1.7mm Hg vs. 26.2±1.5 mm Hg,t=-19.21, P=0000)and cTnI content in coronary effluent (0.62±0.01 ng/ml vs. 0.71±0.01 ng/ml, t=-12.00,P=0.000) were lower than those in I/R group; the area of AMI decreased 20.8% compared with that in I/R group (Plt;0.05). The myocardial protective effect in IPo+5HD group was similar with that in IPo group, but lower than that in IPo group. The electron microscope showed that IPo and IPo+5HD could reduce myocardial fiber damage and mitochondrial damage caused by I/R. Conclusion IPo can protect I/R myocardium, which is achieved mainly by activating mitoK-ATP channels.
We have studied the radiosenstivity of retinoblastoma cell [inc: HXO Rb~4,and found that the ceil growth reduced markedly after being treated by 3GyT-ray. From both clone for mation method and MTT assay,we identify that HXO-Rb44 cell is radiosensitive to T-ray.Oxygen can increase the radiosensitivity of HXO-Rb44 cell, but decrease the repair of sublethal damage.Oxygen enchaneement ratio(OER)is 2.77~3.01.

Objective To investigate the effects of X-ray dose on the expressions of microRNA-221 (miR-221) and phosphatase and a tensin homolog deleted from chromosome10 (PTEN) in human colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cells. Methods Human CRC-derived cell line, Caco2, was cultured conventionally. The cells were divided into five groups and exposed to different doses of X-ray (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy) respectively. The total RNA and protein of the Caco2 cells were extracted after irradiation, and the miR-221 and PTEN mRNA expressions were detected by real-time RT-PCR.Moreover, the protein alteration of PTEN in Caco2 cells was detected by Western-blot analysis. Results The radiation dose of X-ray significantly affected the expressions of miR-221 and PTEN protein in human Caco2 cells in a dose-depen-dent manner. Moreover, the miR-221 expression level was up-regulated gradually with the increase of irradiation dose, on the contrary, the PTEN protein expression level was down-regulated gradually (P<0.01). Conclusion The radiation dose can affect the miR-221 and PTEN protein expression pattern in CRC cells.
