RESUMEN
The transcription factor p73 belongs to the p53 family of tumor suppressors,and can be transcribed into different isoforms with either pro-or anti-apoptotic(TAp73 and △Np73)functions.However,the tumor suppressor activity of TAp73 is inhibited through complex formation with inhibitory proteins(e.g.△Np73,mutant p53,MDM2 and iASPP).Therefore,it is a kind of tumor therapy strategy to reactivate TAp73 through targeting these inhibitors directly or release TAp73 from the complex by targeting their interaction.This review discusses the possible strategies of targeting p73 for its reactivation and the acting mechanism of related compounds.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To investigate the possible relationship between myopia progression and near accommodative lag. METHODS: A 1-year longitudinal study was carried out to measure the accommodative response and myopia progression in 62 children with mild and progressing myopia at two visits: they were 10.81 +/- 1.60 years old with refractive error -1.70 +/- 0.76 D on entry. Repeated measurements included refractive error, ocular biometry and accommodative response at 33 cm. The refractive error was determined by autorefraction after cycloplegia; ocular biometry by A-scan ultrasonography; and accommodative response by an open-field autorefractor. Results were based on the right eye and analysed by paired t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Myopia progression in the year was -0.72 +/- 0.37 D (p < 0.001) with a range from -0.06 to -1.96 D. The change of axial length and vitreous depth were 0.41 +/- 0.25 mm (p < 0.001) and 0.36 +/- 0.24 mm (p < 0.001), respectively. The near lag was 0.76 +/- 0.29 D on entry and 0.72 +/- 0.38 D 1 year later (p = 0.79). No statistically significant correlations were found between near lag vs myopia progression and the change of ocular biometry as a whole (p > 0.10 for all). There was no significant difference in myopia progression between myopic children with greater than, compared to less than the mean amount of near lag (p = 0.36). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates no statistically significant relationship between myopia progression and near accommodation lag in children with mild and progressing myopia. There is no evidence that near lag provides a stimulus to progression in this stage of myopia.

Objective To investigate the possibility of commitment differentiation of embryonic stem cells induced by the medium of cultured retinal neurons of SD rats. Methods The medium from cultured retinal neurons of SD rats were collected, sterilized and mixed with DMEM medium according to 2∶3 proportion, ES cells were cultured with these mixed medium and were observed under the phase contrast microscope daily, the induced cells were identified by NF immunohistochemistry methods. Results The ES cells cultured with these mixed medium can differentiate into neuron like structure, and the induced cells were positive in NF immunofluorescence staining. Conclusion The medium from cultured retinal neurons of SD rats can induce ES cells commitment differentiation into neuron like structure.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To observe the inhibiting effect of Interferon-alpha 1b(IFNa-1b) on proliferation of human tenon capsule fibroblasts. METHODS: Human tenon capsule fibroblasts were cultured in vitro and MTT method was used to detect the inhibiting effect of IFNa-1b on human tenon capsule fibroblasts. RESULTS: There was significant difference in OD values between 10~6IU/ml group(0. 1 109?0. 0 585) and control group(0.2535?0. 0502), the inhibition rate in IFN group was 56.25%. CONCLUSION: IFNa-1b has significant effect on inhibiting proliferation of human tenon capsule fibroblasts.
