表观遗传调控与青光眼发病机制研究进展

表观遗传学主要机制包括DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰和miRNAs等。这些机制将环境与基因相联系，在基因的特异性表达过程中发挥重要作用，影响疾病的表型。青光眼是全球第一大不可逆致盲眼病，其发病机制复杂，受遗传和环境的共同影响。本文分别对DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰和miRNAs参与青光眼发病的机制进行综述，以期为临床诊治提供参考。     

A novel surgical technique to prevent post-enucleation conjunctival cyst:conjunctival staining with methylthioninium

Dear Editor,Conjunctival cyst of the orbit acquired from enucleation is an infrequent but serious complication;which can occur in 3%-7%of patients,more commonly after a secondary procedure;.The most common manifestations are the inability to retain the external prosthesis.     

Influenza vaccination and the endurance against air pollution among elderly with acute coronary syndrome

ObjectiveAir pollution, weather condition and influenza are known risk factors of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among elderly people. The influenza vaccine (IV) has been shown to reduce major cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to compare resistance to air pollution and weather factors causing ACS between vaccinated and less-vaccinated elderly people.MethodsA case–crossover design was applied to 1835 elderly ACS patients who were obtained from the 1-million sample of Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Data with inclusion criteria: (1) the first diagnosis of ACS was in cold season and at age 68 or more, (2) had received the free IV program at least once during the period 3 years before the ACS. They were stratified into two groups: 707 had received flu vaccinations for all the 3 years and the remaining 1128 had not. The measurements of air pollutants, temperature, and humidity corresponding to each of the 3 days prior to the ACS diagnosis date were retrieved from the data banks of the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration and Central Weather Bureau.FindingsIncreases in air pollution concentrations of CO, NO₂, PM₁₀ or PM_2.5 and decreases in temperature significantly influenced the risk of ACS for the non-continuously vaccinated elderly population; however, less significant effects were observed for the continuously vaccinated population.ConclusionConsecutive influenza vaccination may potentially offer resistance against the detrimental effects of air pollution and changes in temperature in frail elderly adults with ACS. Future studies are needed to directly assess the interaction effect between the vaccination and environmental factors on ACS.     

Ligustrazine inhibits high voltage-gated Ca~(2+) and TTX-resistant Na~+ channels of primary sensory neuron and thermal nociception in the rat:a study on peripheral mechanism

Objective Ligustrazine, also named as tetramethylpyrazine, is a compound purified from Ligusticum chuanxiong hort and has ever been testified to be a calcium antagonist. The present investigation was to determine the antinoci-ceptive effect of ligustrazine and, if any, the peripheral ionic mechanism involved. Methods Paw withdrawal Latency ( PWL) to noxious heating was measured in vivo and whole-cell patch recording was performed on small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Results Intraplantar injection of ligustrazine (0.5 mg in 25μl) significantly prolonged the withdrawal latency of ipsilateral hindpaw to noxious heating in the rat. Ligustrazine not only reversibly inhibited high-voltage gated calcium current of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron in dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 1.89 mmol/L, but also decreased tetrodotoxin (TTX) -resistant sodium current in relatively selective and dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 2.49 mmol/L. Conclusion The results suggested that ligustrazine could elevate the threshold of thermal nociception through inhibiting the high-voltage gated calcium current and TTX-resistant sodium current of DRG neuron in the rat.

0.5m1，用检眼镜、光漳和电镜检查来观察视网膜变化情况。 结果：注入硅油28天后，未发现各浓度的维甲酸硅油对视网膜产生毒性作用。结论：浓度为5、10μg/ml的维甲酸硅油注入玻璃体腔4周，对视网膜不产生毒性作用。 （中华眼底病杂志，1997，13：81-82）     

Heterologous expression of rat testis GABA_A receptor P3t variant in Chinese hamster ovary cells

Aim: To study the characteristics and possible retention function of specific sequence in the 5'-end of rat testis GABAA receptor β 3t variant. Methods: Rat testis GABAA receptor β 3t variant cDNA was cloned and inserted into two eukaryotic expression vectors of pEGFP-Nl and pEGFP-Cl respectively, which have EGFP reporter gene. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with the calcium phosphate co-precipitation method. Fluorescence microscope and laser confocal microscope were used to analyze the transfected cells. ConA-Texas-Red was used to label cell endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and study the located area of rat testis β 3t variant in the CHO cells. Results: When the rat testis β 3t variant express in CHO cells, there were two expression pattern, the even and the concentrated expression pattern. Although rat brain β 3 can reach cell membrane, the rat testis β 3t variant can't target to the cell membrane. It may be retained in the ER of CHO cells. Conclusion:

Novel multi-probe RNase protection assay set for detection of endotoxin associated receptors gene expression

Objective: To construct the multi-probe ribonuclease protection assay (RPA) template set to be used for detecting expression patterns of MD-2, TLR4, CD14 mRNAs in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Methods : The designed cDNA fragments of the three genes were generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)using specific primers and directionally cloned into EcoR I and Hind III sites of expression plasmid pSP72 containing the T7/ promoter, the linearized plasmids was used as template to synthesize anti-sense RNA probes. Then we extracted total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and detected the dynamic expression patterns of the three genes with RPA method. Results: The proper sequence and orientation of the template set were confirmed by sequencing and the template set was successfully used to assay TLR4, MD-2 and CD14 mRNAs in human PBMC. The results showed that the three detected genes decreased transiently 1-3 hours after 100 ng/ml LPS stimulation. Conclusions: These new RPA multi-probe set provided valuable tool for the simultaneous quantitative determination of expression of TLR4, CD14 and MD-2 mRNAs in both constitutive and inducible types.
