Application of lacrimal gland ultrasonography in the evaluation of chronic ocular graft-versus-host-disease by Mingxia Zhong, Siyuan Liu, Jinghan Luo, Qin Zhang, Zhou Yang, Shanshan Zhang

“…Lacrimal gland structures were assessed by B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography to measure parameters such as the long diameter, thick diameter, homogeneity and parenchymal vascularization. Statistical analyses were performed to determine differences in ocular surface conditions and lacrimal gland ultrasonographic parameters between groups as well as to determine the correlation between ocular surface condition and lacrimal gland ultrasonographic findings.Result(1) Patients with definite and probable oGVHD exhibited a significantly longer duration after allo-HSCT compared to non-oGVHD patients (H=11.264, p<0.01), The median durations were 247(164,894) days and 525(310,928) days, respectively, compared to 204(169,323.25) days for non-oGVHD patients. (2) Compared to non-oGVHD patients, both definite oGVHD patients and probable oGVHD patients showed lower average of Schirmer test (H=31.188, p<0.01), TBUT (H=11.853, p<0.01), tear meniscus height (H=13.630, p<0.01) and higher average of OSDI (F=27.992, p<0.01), corneal staining scores (χ²=23.66, p<0.05) and temporal conjunctival staining scores (χ²=14.84, p<0.05). (3) The B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography parameters in lacrimal glands including long diameter, thick diameter, homogeneity and parenchymal vascularization did not exhibit significant differences between the three groups. (4) The long diameter in lacrimal ultrasonography had significantly positive correlations with tear meniscus height (r=0.297, p<0.05) and significantly negative correlations with temporal conjunctival staining scores (r=-0.313, p<0.05) and staining total scores (r=-0.285, p<0.05). …”

Effect of lncRNA H19 on Rats with Chronic Heart Failure Based on TGF-β1/Smad3 Signaling Pathway by WANG Lingyan, CAO Guojun, MEI Yang, ZHANG Bin, ZHOU Shijing

“…Two days after the last injection, color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect cardiac function indexes [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD)]; Masson staining was used to detect myocardial fibrosis and collagen volume fraction (CVF); real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the transcription level of lncRNA H19 and miRNA-200a in myocardial tissue of rats; Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression level of TGF-β1 and Smad3 in myocardial tissue of rats.ResultsCompared with sham surgery group, the protein expression level of LVEDD, LVESD, TGF-β1, Smad3 and transcription level of miRNA-200a in the other four groups significantly increased, while the protein expression level of LVFS, LVEF and transcription level of lncRNA H19 significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the heart failure group and the negative control group, the protein expression level of LVEDD, LVESD, TGF-β1, Smad3 and transcription level of miRNA-200a in the overexpression group and the combined overexpression group significantly decreased, while the protein expression level of LVFS, LVEF and transcription level of lncRNA H19 significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the overexpression group, the protein expression level of LVEDD, LVESD, TGF-β1, Smad3 and transcription level of miRNA-200a in the combined overexpression group significantly increased, while LVFS and LVEF significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), and the transcription level of lncRNA H19 was not statistically different (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05). …”
