ABSTRACT
In adult orbital diseases, thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is of very high incidence rate, and it can seriously affect patients' appearance, eyesight and binocular visual function and so on, and significantly reduce the patients' quality of life.In addition to the common manifestations such as eyelid retraction, exophthalmos and strabismus, some TAO patients may suffer from obviously increased ocular pressure and even visual field damage, which are often ignored or missed in diagnosis and should be paid more attention to.The pathogenesis of elevated intraocular pressure in TAO is mainly related to the elevated episcleral venous pressure and the extraocular muscles.Because the elevated intraocular pressure resulted from TAO is secondary and its pathogenesis is complex, personalized treatment different from primary glaucoma therapy is needed.In this article, the epidemiology, pathogenesis and therapy of elevated intraocular pressure in TAO including medication, surgery, and radiotherapy were reviewed to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment for TAO.
ABSTRACT
Serine protease inhibitor (serpin) is a kind of serine protease activity regulator,which including nine subfamilies (SERPIN A ～ I).SERPINE (Serpin Peptidase Inhibitor,Clade E) can regulate many important life processes.In this paper,the physical and chemical properties,mechanisms and regulatory factors of SERPINE1 and SERPINE2 in the two important members of SERPINE family are introduced,and the research progress of SERPINE family in the fibrosis related diseases is described.
ABSTRACT
Background The malignant degree of the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is high.Radiation therapy is sensitive,but the therapeutic schedule can not be unified,reasonable and effective therapeutic schedule is important in clinic treatment of the DLBCL.Objective This study was to access the effect of X-ray on the cell cycle and cell apoptosis of the DLBCL.Methods DLBCL cell line was cultured and the cell suspension was inoculated to 12-well cultured plate.The cells exposed to X-ray for 6,12,24,48 hours with the irradiation doses of 2,4,6,8 Gy respectively.The cell proportions of different cycles were assayed by flow cytometer,and cell apoptosis index was evaluated and calculated.Non-irradiation cells served as controls.Results The cells grew well with a good cell vitality and round-like shape,and the growth was stable in generation 2 or 3.With the increase of X-ray doses and the lapse of irradiation time,the cell proportions in G0-G1 phase gradually reduced (Fdose =45.58,P=0.00; Ftime =43.11,P=0.00).However,cell proportions in G2-M phase were gradually increased as the increase of X-ray doses and lapse of irradiation time (Fdose =40.77,P =0.00 ; Ftime =91.91,P =0.00).In addition,the apoptotic proportion of the cells was significantly elevated with the increase of X-ray dose and irradiation time (Fdose =87.36,P =0.00; Ftime =37.31,P =0.00).Conclusions X-ray irradiation retards DLBCL in the G2-M phase and causes cell apoptosis in dose-and time-dependent manner.
