    Objective   o observe variations of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) and c-fos and their proteins induced by auditory deprivation and intracochlear electrical stimulation in the auditory cortex, inferior colliculus and cochlear nucleus in infant rats. Methods   Sixty-six SD infant rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:the 4-week group(group A1), the 6-week group (group B1)with injection of ototoxic drug and their homologus control group(group A2,B2), the 3-week group(group C), and the 5-week group(group D)with injection of ototoxic drug with intracochlear electrical stimulation for one week. Each group consisted of 11 rats. Gentamicin sulphate (350mg/kg body weight) and frusemide (200mg/kg body weight) were subcutaneously injected in the skin folds on the lateral abdominal side and the dorsal neck area. Expressions of mRNAs and proteins encoded by bdnf and c-fos were detected by real-time PCR and immunohistological staining. Results   Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry revealed that expressions of mRNAs and proteins encoded by bdnf and c-fos significantly increased in group A1 as compared to group A2, and decreased as compared to group C (P<0.05), in the auditory cortex, inferior colliculus and cochlear nucleus. However, expressions of them significantly decreased in the group B1 as compared to group B2 and group D (P<0.05). Conclusion   Auditory deprivation results in expressions of mRNAs and proteins encoded by bdnf and c-fos increas in early stage and decreasing in the later stage in auditory cortex, inferior colliculus and cochlear nucleus. Intracochlear electrical stimulation makes expression of them increase in rats with auditory deprivation. The dynamic variations of bdnf and c-fos and their proteins reflected the plasticity in neurons of the auditory pathway.

    Objective   To investigate the treatment of laryngeal papilloma with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with the IFN-γ gene. Methods   The IFN-γ gene was transfected into BMSCs by  recombinant adenoviruses Ad5-IFN-γ-GFP and expression of IFN-γ in supernatant was detected by Western Blot. The IFN-γ genetransfected BMSCs were injected into laryngeal tissues of mice. On the first, third, 7th, 14th and 28th day, the marrow and laryngeal tissues of mice were obtained and the levels of the IFN-γ gene in these tissues were detected via Real-time PCR. All data were analyzed with SPSS13.0. Results   Expression of IFN-γ in cell supernatant peaked when the multiplicity of infection (MOI) was 100 and transfection time was 72h. Almost no expression of IFN-γ in the marrow and laryngeal tissues of mice was identified if the blank medium or untransfected mice bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) were injected. But, the levels of IFN-γ in the marrow and laryngeal tissues of mice increased significantly after mBMSCs transfected with recombinant adenoviruses Ad5-IFN-γ-GFP were injected, and expression increased in an injection-time dependent manner. Conclusion   IFN-γ gene-transfected BMSCs can promote expression of MHCⅠ and Ⅱ on the surface of tumor cells and further enhance the immune function and anti-tumor effect. Compared with exogenous IFN-γ treatment, it showed less poisonous effects and longer expression. Moreover, it is very safe due to that the IFN-γ encoding gene is not integrated into the whole chromosome genome. Therefore, the IFN-γ gene-transfected BMSCs are promising for the therapy of laryngeal tumors.

    Objective   To observe single nucleotide polymorphisms of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) G-800A and C-509T, and to analyze the relationship between different types of their polymorphisms and susceptibility of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in Han adults in Jinan city. Methods   Distribution of alleles of TGF-β1 G-800A and C-509T SNP were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP). The linkage disequilibrium relationships were observed between susceptibility of the PTC and TGF-β1 G-800A and C-509T polymorphisms in a case-control study. Results   TGF β-1 C-509 T and G-800 A linkage equilibrium factors are D′= 0.75, r2=0.83, P=0.03; In a population of Han located in Jinan city: adjusted by wild type GC, number of T GF β-1 GT haploid type, in both PTC patients and control, OR was 2.206(P<0.0001), this demonstrated that GT haploid type strengthened PTC susceptibility; The TGF β-1 G/G + C/C genotype,adjusted by non-mutated TGF β-1 G/G + C/C in both PTC patients and control, OR was 2.437(P=0.010). This demonstrated that the TGF β-1 G/A+T/T genotype enhanced PTC susceptibility; TGF β-1 C-509 T T/T was related to the wild type  C/C, OR=3.826, P<0.0001, that demonstrated that the TGF β-1 C-509 T T/T haploid type strengthened PTC susceptibility. Conclusion   In the Jinan Han ethnic group, the TGF-β 1 haploid type GT and merged genotype GA+TT increased PTC susceptibility. Also, the TGF β1 C509 T T/T genotype significantly increased susceptibility to PTC. TGF-β1 in G-800A, and C-509T chain single nucleotide polymorphisms can be used as markers for individual monitoring. TGFβ1 C-509T was closely related to high risk of PTC and might be a therapeutic target in PTC.

    Objective   To observe the effect of azithromycin on expressions of NF-kBp65 and IL-8 in nasal mucosa of chronic sinusitis after endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods   45 patients with chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps who were treated with endoscopic surgery 2 weeks previously were divided into 3 groups: 15 patients treated with local glucocorticoid as the control group, 15 patients were added with cephalosporin(500mg, once a day) as another control group, others were added with Azithromycin(500mg, once a day) as the experimental group. The PV-6000 immunohistochemical method was applied to explore expressions of NF-kBp65 and IL-8 in nasal mucosa before and after 3-week medical therapy while counting the quantity of positive cells. Results   Chronic inflammation was observed in nasal mucosa after endoscopic sinus surgery by HE staining. There were many inflammatory cells such as neutrophil cells and eosinophil cells under the mucosal epithelium, and the neutrophil cells were the key cells. Expression of NF-kBp65 was positive in the cytoplasm and some nuclei of the mucosal epithelia and the inflammatory cells in nasal mucosa. Expression of IL-8 was positive in the cytoplasm of the mucosal epithelia and inflammatory cells in nasal mucosa. Expressions of NF-kBp65 and IL-8 were significantly reduced in the mucosal epithelia and inflammatory cells of nasal mucosa after 3 weeks medical treatment compared with that of pre-treatment in the three groups(P<0.05).  The difference of expressions of NF-kBp65 and IL-8 in the mucosal epithelia and inflammatory cells of the nasal mucosa were statistically significant in the azithromycin group compared with the cephalosporin group and the control group after treatment(P<0.05).There were no statistical significance of expressions of NF-kBp65 and IL-8 in the mucosal epithelia and inflammatory cells of the nasal mucosa between the cephalosporin group and the control group after treatment(P>0.05). Conclusion   Azithromycin in combination with local glucocorticoid is better than glucocorticoid to inhibit expressions of NF-kBp65 and IL-8 in mucosal epithelia and inflammatory cells in nasal mucosa of chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery. It is an effective method to cure chronic inflammation of nasal mucosa in the nasal cavity after endoscopic sinus surgery.

    Objective   To investigate the diagnosis,differential diagnosis, cause of clinical and pathological misdiagnosis of primary malignant tumor of the tonsil and measures against the misdiagnosis. Methods   24 cases with malignant tumor of the palatine tonsil from 2000 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results   Pathological types of the malignancy consisted of 8  squamous cell carcinoma(SCC),  15 non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma (NHL, including 10 cases from B-cell and 5 cases from T-cell), and 1 Hodgkin′s lymphoma (HL). Delayed diagnosis was reached in 8 patients(33.33%).  Conclusion   Patients with primary malignant tumor of  the tonsil lack characteristic clinical symptoms. Pathological manifestation is complicated. It is important to perform early biopsy followed by immunohistochemical tests. The main causes of misdiagnosis are nonspecific clinical symptoms and doctors′ lack of awareness. Timely biopsy and detailed history/physical examination are helpful to reduce the misdiagnosis, as well as tonsillectomy.

    Objective   To observe the roles of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and the macular ganglion cell complex (mGCCT) in the diagnosis of optic atrophy and the evaluation of visual function by using frequency domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods   26 normal eyes and 68 sick eyes were selected from 50 patients with optic atrophy. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured for all the eyes and visual field for those whose BCVA was ≥ 0.05. Frequency domain OCT was used to measure mGCCT and RNFLT. The study evaluated the main parameters provided by OCT in the diagnoses of optic atrophy and their relativities to the visual function indices, such as BCVA and visual field. Furthermore, the study explored the capability of these parameters to distinguish normal optic nerves from optic atrophy and the effects  on BCVA. Results   In univariate analysis, mGCCT, general loss of volume(GLV), focal loss of volume(FLV) and RNFLT showed significant correlations with all the evaluation indexes(P<0.05). In multiple analysis these significant correlations were found: average mGCCT and GLV with the diagnosis of optic atrophy, average mGCCT and GLV with BCVA, average mGCCT with visual field mean deviation (MD) and visual field pattern standard deviation (PSD), FLV with visual field MD, and GLV with visual field PSD. Average RNFLT showed no correlations with diagnosis of the optic atrophy, BCVA and visual field (P>0.05). Average mGCCT, superior and inferior average mGCCT, average RNFLT, temporal and superior average RNFLT were accurate to diagnose optic atrophy (0.9<AUC<1.0), while inferior and nasal average RNFLT showed moderate accuracy to the diagnosis (0.7<AUC≤0.9). Among the thickness parameters measured by OCT, average mGCCT was accurate to evaluate BCVA(0.9<AUC<1.0), while the others were moderately accurate (0.7<AUC≤0.9). Conclusion   The parameters provided by frequency domain OCT especially mGCCT are important in the diagnosis of optic atrophy and evaluation of visual functions.

    Objective   To investigate the change of binocular visual function after induction of myopic anisometropia. Methods   Pure myopic anisometropia was induced by putting spectacles on the right eyes of 64 teachers who were more than 40 years old from Zhangzhou Health Vocational College and another two colleges, and the effects of myopic anisometropia on the binocular visual function were observed. Results   The mean level of heterophoria was increased when anisometropia exceeded 1.50D (P<0.05 ), and there was no significant change when it was less than 1.50D (P>0.05 ). When anisometropia exceeded 1.50D, the positive numbers of simultaneous vision, fusion and stereopsis were decreased with the increase of anisometropia degree (P<0.05 ). Conclusion   Myopic anisometropia can cause abnormality of binocular visual function, and when anisometropia exceeds or is equal to 1.50D(≥1.50D) it may cause a sharp decline of the binocular visual function. So when we design cataract surgery according to the monocular vision, the implantation of intraocular lens diopter should have a <1.50D myopic anisometropia to get a satisfactory effect in both hyperopia and myopia without influencing the senior visual function.

    Objective   To investigate the clinical features and risk factors for children′s myopia. Methods   All the children, referred to the eye clinic,  underwent routine ocular examination and dilated refraction. The results were recorded and  analysed. The questionaire on risk factors of myopia was also performed, and the results were analyzed by multifactor logistic regression. Results   In 3771 students, there were 1793 females (47.55%) and 1978  males (52.45%), among them, 9.33% were from kindergarten, 27.82% were from primary school, 45.35% were from junior middle school, and 17.50% were from senior middle school. 2232 students(59.19%)  were confirmed as having myopia by dilating refraction, including 1041 females (58.06%) and 1191 males (60.21%) without significant difference (χ2=10.58, P=0.479). There were 93 from kindergarten (26.42%), 445 from primary school (42.42%), 1179 from junior middle school (68.95%) and 515 from senior middle school (78.03%). Multifactor logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of age, average work time per day, average time of TV watching per day, and the distance between the eyes and the book of less than one inch were the risk factors for children′s myopia,  while a longer time of outdoor activities was a the protective factor. Conclusion   The incidence of children′s myopia and refractive diopter increase with age. The awareness of eye healthcare in children should be strengthened. To prevent myopia, it is important to reduce the time of short distance reading and TV watching, increase the time for outdoor activities, and maintain the proper posture in reading and writing.

    The laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the primary method for the correction of myopia. A transient elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) and the impact of laser cutting during LASIK are considered to be probable causes affecting the retina and optic nerve. Basic research confirmed that the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and retinal microstructure changes may occur as a result of the negative pressure suction exceeding 30 seconds. Also, the clinical study supported that the present LASIK would momentarily increase the retinal thickness of the macular central fovea,but it has no significant effect on RNFL thickness.

    Near-work-induced transient myopia is nearly a similar myopic far point change which is a result of nearwork.It may stimulate a compensatory growth of the vitreous cavity, which leads to the formation of myopia. This paper summarized the currently available literatures in order to clarify the mechanism of myopia development.

     Biological measurement of the anterior chamber plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment in the ophthalmology field, especially in glaucoma, cataract surgery and corneal diseases. Effort to improve the image of the anterior chamber has promoted the development of numerous imaging modalities. The main techniques used for imaging the anterior segment are Pentacam-Scheimpflug, anterior chamber-optical coherence tomography, Orbscan scanning-slit topography and ultrasound bio-microscope. All devices promise quantitative information and qualitative imaging of central anterior chamber depth, perimeter anterior chamber depth and anterior angle. In this paper, a selection of recent advances for the anterior chamber on principles, characters of anterior chamber imaging and their clinical application were reviewed.
