不同手术方式治疗青光眼的临床疗效比较

目的探讨单纯小梁切除术与复合式小梁切除术治疗青光眼的临床疗效。方法将2015年6月~2016年5月我院收治行手术治疗的74例青光眼患者作为研究对象,按手术方案不同分为两组,A组行单纯小梁切除术,B组行复合式小梁切除术,评价比较两组临床治疗效果。结果 B组浅前房发生率为5.40%明显低于A组的24.32%,功能性滤过泡率为91.89%明显高于A组的72.97%,眼压完全控制率为89.19%明显高于A组的64.86%,差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05)。结论复合式小梁切除术治疗青光眼的临床疗效较单纯小梁切除术更为显著。

NO way to live; the various roles of nitric oxide in plant-pathogen interactions

Nitric oxide has attracted considerable interest from plant pathologists due its established role in regulating mammalian anti-microbial defences, particularly via programmed cell death (PCD). Although NO plays a major role in plant PCD elicited in response to certain types of pathogenic challenge, the race-specific hypersensitive response (HR), it is now evident that NO also acts in the regulation of non-specific, papilla-based resistance to penetration by plant cells that survive attack and, possibly, in systemic acquired resistance. Equally, the potential roles of NO signalling/scavenging within the pathogen are being recognized. This review will consider key defensive roles played by NO in living cells during plant-pathogen interactions, as well as in those undergoing PCD.     

Thermoregulation: an orphan receptor finds its way in the cold

The hypometabolic state of torpor is a widely utilized and well-orchestrated response to food shortage. A new study shows that the melatonin-related orphan receptor GPR50 plays an important function in metabolic regulation for entry into torpor.     

Pharmacologic chaperoning as a strategy to treat Gaucher disease

We briefly introduce the most common lysosomal storage disorder, Gaucher disease, concisely describe the Food and Drug Administration approved strategies to ameliorate Gaucher disease, and then outline the emerging pharmacologic chaperone strategy that offers the promise to remedy this malady.     

Secretion as a way to form enterocyte homeostasis

The contents of K, Cl and Na in the mucus containing compartments of rat small intestine epithelium were examined with X-ray microanalysis. Measurements of concentration were made on sections prepared according to techniques based on cryofixation of soft biological tissues. The concentration of potassium and chlorine within the brush border region and in the secretion product of goblet cells is 200 mM and 90 mM, respectively, while sodium concentration was lower than the detection limit of 20 mM of the method used.     

简易唾液收集器的制作

从口腔自然流出的唾液,在短时间内不能获得较多的量,而且其中常会含有杂质。为了获得较多、纯净的唾液,俄国生理学家研制了克拉斯诺格尔斯基氏囊,但其制作和使用较为复杂。现介绍一个简易的唾液收集方法。     

Idiopathic juvenile macular sub-retinal neovascularization: to treat or not to treat

Juvenile macular sub-retinal neovascularization is an exceedingly rare condition. It occurs in patients under the age of 20. Subretinal neovascularization is so rare in patients less than twenty years of age, that the macular photocoagulation study presents data only for patients 18 years of age or older. This poster describes a 17-year-old female with a foveal hemorrhage secondary to idiopathic juvenile macular sub-retinal neovascularization in one eye. Although the patient was given the treatment option of laser, she refused, and opted for close observation instead. In this case the hemorrhage resolved spontaneously and left the patient with 20/80 vision. The rationale for and against laser treatment is discussed. The significance of the Macular Photocoagulation Study is reviewed with respect to this case.
