Purpose: To investigate the effects of circ_0001953/miR-186 on human retinal vascular endothelial cell (HRVEC) injury evoked by high glucose. Methods: A cell model (HG group) was established using high glucose-treated HRVECs, while untreated HRVECs were used as the control group (Con group). The levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), ICAM-1 and IL-6 were evaluated by ELISA and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in HRVECs were determined. Apoptosis rate was tested adopting flow cytometry. The interrelationship between circ_0001953 and miR-186 was assessed using dual luciferase reporter assay. Measurement of Bax and Bcl-2 was implemented via western blot. Results: In HG group, circ_0001953 increased while miR-186 was downregulated, ET-1, IL-6, ICAM-1, and apoptosis rate increased and accompanied with up-regulated Bax content and declined Bcl-2 protein level. Furthermore, the content of MDA increased and SOD decreased. MiR-186 was a target of circ_0001953. Conclusion: Inhibition of circ_0001953 can repress inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in HRVECs by up-regulating the expression of miR-186.
This retrospective case-control study examined the association between the rs2071559 (-604T/C) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 gene and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Northern Han Chinese. This study included patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) in Shijiazhuang between 07/2014 and 07/2016. The healthy controls were unrelated individuals who received routine physical examinations. The diabetic patients were grouped as DM (diabetes but no fundus examination abnormalities), proliferative DR (PDR), and non-proliferative DR (NPDR). Finally, 438 patients were included: 114 controls and 123, 105, and 96 patients in the DM, NPDR, and PDR groups, respectively. In the multivariable analyses and all genetic models, the VEGFR-2 rs2071559 SNP was not associated with DR (among all diabetic patients) or with PDR (among the patients with DR) after adjustment for age, sex, duration of DM, blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index (all P > 0.05). In conclusion, the VEGFR-2- 604T/C rs2071559 SNP is not associated with DR or PDR in the Han Chinese population of Shijiazhuang (China).
Purpose: To investigate the clinical effect of sodium hyaluronate eye drops combined with tobramycin, dexamethasone, and pranoprofen eye drops in the treatment of dry eye after phacoemulsification. Methods: Medical records of 188 patients with dry eye after phacoemulsification, treated in our hospital from August 2020 to August 2021, were included and divided into groups based on the type of dry eye treatment. Patients in the control group (n = 90) were treated with tobramycin, dexamethasone, and pranoprofen eye drops. Patients in the test group (n = 98) were treated with sodium hyaluronate, tobramycin, dexamethasone, and pranoprofen eye drops. The tear secretion test (TST), film rupture time (BUT), corneal fluorescence staining (FS) score, levels of interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α before the treatment and at 1 month follow-up, the overall total effective rate and the number of completely cured cases were compared between the two groups. Multiple linear regression was used to calculate coefficients for predicting clinical variables. Ordinal logistic regression was used to compute coefficients and odds ratios for predicting effective scores. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group (99%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (80.00%). After the treatment, the TST and BUT indexes of the observation group were higher compared to the control group, and the FS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. TNF-α and IL-6 levels of the observation group were lower compared to the control group. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the differences in the effective rate and clinical variables between the two groups remained significant after adjusting for the effect of age. Conclusion: A combination of sodium hyaluronate, tobramycin, dexamethasone, and pranoprofen eye drops for the treatment of dry eye after phacoemulsification can improve the curative effect, reduce corneal fluorescein staining and inflammatory factor index levels compared to the treatment regimen lacking sodium hyaluronate eye drops.
In order to explore the function of inhibiting the immune effect, the relationship between programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) carrelizumab in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma-induced scleritis and T cell activation is investigated. A total of 120 patients with primary liver cancer treated in the department of oncology of our hospital from July 2020 to January 2022 are selected and treated with carrelizumab. According to the occurrence of PD-1 carrelizumab treatment, the patients are divided into the scleritis group and nonscleritis group. The levels of T cells, PD-1, PD-L1 proteins, and serum inflammatory factors at different time points are compared. The experimental results show that the occurrence of scleritis after liver cancer treatment with PD-1 carrelizumab is closely associated with Treg cells, the percentage of Th17 cells, the expression of PD-1, PD-L1 proteins, and inflammatory factors. It is clearly evident that PD-1 carrelizumab can increase the risk of scleritis by affecting T cell activation.

BackgroundYoung children’s vision screening, as part of a preventative health care service, produces great value for developing regions. Besides yielding a high return on investment from forestalling surgeries using a low-cost intervention at a young age, it improves school performance and thus boosts future labor force quality. Leveraging low-skilled health care workers with smartphones and automated diagnosis to offer such programs can be a scalable model in resource-limited areas. ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and evaluate an effective, efficient, and comprehensive vision screening solution for school children in resource-limited areas. First, such an exam would need to cover the major risk factors of amblyopia and myopia, 2 major sources of vision impairment effectively preventable at a young age. Second, the solution must be integrated with digital patient record-keeping for long-term monitoring and popular statistical analysis. Last, it should utilize low-skilled technicians and only low-cost tools that are available in a typical school in developing regions, without compromising quality or efficiency. MethodsA workflow for the screening program was designed and a smartphone app was developed to implement it. In the standardized screening procedure, a young child went through the smartphone-based photoscreening in a dark room. The child held a smartphone in front of their forehead, displaying pre-entered personal information as a quick response code that duplexed as a reference of scale. In one 10-second procedure, the child’s personal information and interpupillary distance, relative visual axis alignment, and refractive error ranges were measured and analyzed automatically using image processing and artificial intelligence algorithms. The child’s risk for strabismus, myopia, and anisometropia was then derived and consultation given. ResultsA preliminary evaluation of the solution was conducted alongside yearly physical exams in Luoyang, Henan, People’s Republic of China. It covered 20 students with suspected strabismus and 80 randomly selected students, aged evenly between 8 and 10. Each examinee took about 1 minute, and a streamlined workflow allowed 3 exams to run in parallel. The 1-shot and 2-shot measurement success rates were 87% and 100%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of strabismus detection were 0.80 and 0.98, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of myopia detection were 0.83 and 1.00, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of anisometropia detection were 0.80 and 1.00, respectively. ConclusionsThe proposed vision screening program is effective, efficient, and scalable. Compared with previously published studies on utilizing a smartphone for an automated Hirschberg test and photorefraction screening, this comprehensive solution is optimized for practicality and robustness, and is thus better ready-to-deploy. Our evaluation validated the achievement of the program’s design specifications.
Objective: To investigate how VEGF-634G/C and VEGF-460C/T SNPs are related to diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Han Chinese subjects from the Shijiazhuang region of China.Methods: Totally 376 DM cases were divided into non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group (n = 124), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group (n = 108), and diabetes without retinopathy (DWR) group (n = 144). PCR/LDR was utilised to detect and assess the genotypes and allele distribution frequencies at the VEGF-634G/C and VEGF-460C/T loci in each group.Results: The differences between NPDR, PDR and DWR groups were not significant in genotypes and allele distribution frequencies at VEGF-634G/C locus (P > 0.05). But there were significant differences between NPDR and DWR groups in genotypes (P = 0.013) and allele distribution frequencies (P = 0.002) at VEGF-460C/T locus, at which CT + CC genotypes were associated with a reduced risk of developing NPDR. There were no significant differences in genotypes (P = 0.759) or allele distribution frequencies (P = 0.433) at VEGF-460C/T locus between PDR and DWR groups.Conclusions: Among Chinese Han individuals with type-2 DM, polymorphism-634G/C of the VEGF gene was not correlated with NPDR or PDR; however, polymorphism-460C/T of the VEGF gene was correlated with NPDR, and C allele was associated with lower NPDR risk than T allele.
