Abstract
INTRODUCTION We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of en-bloc transurethral resection vs. conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. METHODS A systematic literature search up to January 2022 was done and 28 studies included 3714 primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects at the start of the study; 1870 of them were en-bloc transurethral resection, and 1844 were conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. We calculated the odds-ratio (OR) and mean-difference (MD) with 95% confidence-intervals (CIs) to evaluate the effect of en-bloc transurethral resection compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer by the dichotomous or continuous methods with random or fixed-effects models. RESULTS En-bloc transurethral resection had significantly lower twenty-four-month recurrence (OR: 0.63; 95%CI: 0.50-0.78; p < 0.001), catheterization-time (MD: -0.66; 95%CI: -1.02-[-0.29]; p < 0.001), length of hospital stay (MD: -0.95; 95%CI: -1.55-[-0.34]; p = 0.002), postoperative bladder irrigation duration (MD: -6.06; 95%CI: -9.45-[-2.67]; p < 0.001), obturator nerve reflex (OR: 0.08; 95%CI: 0.02-0.34; p = 0.03), and bladder perforation (OR: 0.14; 95%CI: 0.06-0.36: p < 0.001) and no significant difference in the 12-month-recurrence (OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.61-1.04; p = 0.09), the operation time (MD: 0.67; 95%CI: -1.92 to 3.25; p = 0.61), and urethral stricture (OR: 0.46; 95%CI: 0.14-1.47; p = 0.0.19) compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects. CONCLUSIONS En-bloc transurethral resection had a significantly lower twenty-four-month recurrence, catheterization time, length of hospital stay, postoperative bladder irrigation duration, obturator nerve reflex, bladder perforation, and no significant difference in the twelve-month recurrence, operation time, and urethral stricture compared with conventional transurethral resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer subjects. Further studies are required.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of plasma pathological changes before timed artificial insemination (TAI) on pregnancy of cows. The contents of estrogen (E2), progesterone (P4), glucose (Glu), selenium (Se), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and histamine (HIS) in plasma of 48 Holstein cows were measured before TAI. According to the estrus detection, the cows were divided into estrus (E) and anestrus (A) groups. After pregnancy testing at 28 d after TAI, two groups of E and A were divided into positive pregnancy of E group (EP+), negative pregnancy of E group (EP-), positive pregnancy of A group (AP+), and negative pregnancy of A group (AP-). The contents of E2, P4, Glu, Se, BDNF and hIS significantly differed among the four groups (P<0.01). The ROC analysis was used to determine the risk of negative pregnancy test (-) after TAI was increased when plasma E2 was less than 46.45 pmol/L in cows before TAI. The changes in E2, P4,hIS, Glu, and BDNF in the blood of natural estrus and natural anestrus cows affected the pregnancy after TAI. the level of E2 in plasma may be used to assess the risk of negative pregnancy after TAI.

Abstract
Objective: To elevated the retinal toxicity of intravitreal ganciclovir in albino rabbit eyes. Methods: Experimental study. Twenty-four New Zealand albino rabbits (forty-eight eyes) were divided into four groups by random. Three groups were prepared for ganciclovir experiment, named A, B, C. Each group received intravitreal injection ganciclovir dose at 400 μg/0.05 ml, 2 mg/0.05 ml and 5 mg/0.05 ml respectively. The other group named D served as a control accepted intravitreal injection 0.9% normal saline 0.1 ml. Before and after 1, 2 and 4 weeks, flicker full field electroretina gram (ERG) was recorded. After 1, 2 and 4 weeks light and electron microscopic tests were recorded for further toxicity study. Results: There was significant difference in amplitude of maximal combined response a wave in one week(χ(2)=8.319, P=0.04), and pairwise comparison the 5 mg group (140.50 μV) was significantly lower than the control group (165.00 μV) (χ(2)=-2.830, P=0.028). Maximal combined response b wave in four weeks(χ(2)=-10.626, P=0.014), and pairwise comparison the 5 mg group (261.50 μV) was significantly lower than the control group (398.00 μV) (χ(2)=-2.973, P=0.018). 30 Hz flicker response in one, two and four weeks(χ(2)=17.589, 8.225, 8.997, P=0.001, 0.042, 0.02), and pairwise comparison the 5 mg group (71.3μV, 106.00μV, 63.60μV) was significantly lower than the control group (118.50μV, 129.00μV, 116.50μV) (χ(2)=-4.142, -2.826, -2.713, P=0.000, 0.028, 0.040). There was no histologic retinal toxicity evidence of group 400 μg and control group observed by light microscopy in any stage of the study. Histologic changes of group 2 mg four week later, group 5 mg two and four week later include inner nuclear layer loose arranged, nuclear of ganglia were widened and outer plexiform layer stained less in four week later. By electron microscopic observation, the ultrastructure of retina changed to different degrees and became worse in each experimental group with significant mitochondrial swelling and hydropic changes were seen in the inner segments of photoreceptors, loosely arranged and disordered in the outer segment of photoreceptors four weeks later. Conclusions: The retinal function and morphology were normal in group 400 μg. Group 2 mg and 5 mg had retinal toxicity, and 5 mg was more severe. Therefore, the clinical application of ganciclovir in the treatment of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) should select the minimum effective dose to avoid the occurrence of retinal toxicity.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the relationship between optical coherence tomography(OCT) performance and visual acuity of patients with acute retinal necrosis (ARN). Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the patients diagnosed with ARN at the ophthalmology department of Peking union hospital during October 2011 and May 2016. Fourteen patients (15 eyes), 9 males and 5 females, whose anterior and posterior inflammation disappeared and the retinal necrosis lesion in the fundus of the eye subsided were included. The mean age was (41.6±12.2) years. All patients underwent careful examinations including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp microscope, indirect ophthalmoscope, color fundus picture, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and OCT (results of their last consultations). Results: BCVA: 8 eyes were increased, 2 eyes were unchanged and 5 eyes were decreased at the last visit; light perception (LP) 1 eye, finger count (FC) 1 eye, 3 eyes of 0.01 to 0.1, 6 eyes of 0.15 to 0.25. The inflammatory reaction in the anterior segment of 14 eyes disappeared, while the inflammatory reaction of the remaining 1 eye was relieved. The fundus lesions of all 15 eyes disappeared. According to OCT results: five eyes (5/15) exhibited normal macula area, among the 5 eyes, 4 eyes are of 0.15 to 0.25 visual acuity, and 1 eye is of 0.5 visual acuity;macular epiretinal membrane is present in three eyes (3/15), of which the visual acuity is 0.02, 0.25 and 0.3 respectively macula edema is present in three eyes (3/15), among the 3 eyes, 1 eye (visual acuity of 0.01)showed thickening of neurosensory retina, cystoid change of fovea and several fluid dark areas, the other 2 eyes (visual acuity of 0.02 and 0.5 respectively) showed small diffuse fluid dark area in the neurosensory retina;atrophy of neurosensory retina and absence of IS/OS was found in four eyes (4/15), among the 4 eyes, the visual acuity of 3 is below 0.01, and the other 1 eye is of 0.08 visual acuity. Conclusions: The OCT performance of stationary phase of ARN tends to be positively correlated with the visual acuity of patients. The prognosis of visual acuity of the patients whose OCT results showed atrophy of neurosensory retina and absence of IS/OS is poor. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 369-374).

Abstract
Acute retinal necrosis is an uncommon but devastating and potentially blinding ophthalmopathy featured with unfavorable prognosis as the lesions tend to develop rapidly in a circumferential way in few days. Therefore timely diagnosis and early treatment are of great significance. The polymerase chain reaction test on intraocular fluid can improve specificity and sensitivity of the etiological detection for acute retinal necrosis. Etiology results included in the diagnostic criteria is favorable for etiological diagnosis. Current treatment for acute retinal necrosis is generally based on systemic antiviral therapy, and supported by hormone and antithrombotic drugs, while surgical treatment should be considered when the disease progresses. This article reviews the research progress on the diagnosis and treatment of acute retinal necrosis in an effort to improve the diagnosis and treatment performance of acute retinal necrosis.

Abstract
Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a rare, bilateral, non-necrotizing, granulomatous uveitis that usually occurs after open ocular injury or intraocular surgery. The pathophysiology is not clearly understood, but generally SO is an immediate hypersensitivity mediated by T lymphocytes which are related to ocular tissue antigens. The main histopathological features are granulation tissues composed of lymphocytes, macrophages and multinucleated giant cells. The clinical manifestations are different from person to person, which might be mild or severe. Although it could be presented with anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis and posterior uveitis, panuveitis is the most common sign. The ophthalmic examinations, such as fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography and B-scan, could be used to observe the patients' conditions and monitor the therapeutic effect. The main treatment of SO is medical therapy with corticosteroids, immunomodulators and biomodulators. Topical drug administration, including intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide and implantation of a fluocinolone acetonide implant, can be considered. There is controversy about whether enucleation or evisceration is more appropriate and when the procedure should be done. The prognosis of SO could be poor. SO is liable to deteriorate and may lead to blindness. This article reviews the etiology, mechanisms, histopathology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of SO.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the ocular manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis coinfection. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the ocular manifestations was carried out in 27 patients (54 eyes) diagnosed as syphilis and HIV coinfection by the Department of Infectious Medicine in Peking Union Medical College Hospital during the years of 2006-2017. The research included 26 males and 1 female, aging from 24 to 76 years old, with a mean age of 40.40±12.94 years old. Ocular anterior segments were examined with slit-lamp microscope. Fundus examinations were conducted with papillary dilation, fundus photography. Results: At the first visit, there were 2 eyes without light perception, 4 eyes with light perception, 1 eye with hand movement, 1 eye with finger counting, 2 eyes with 0.01-0.09 eyesight, 8 eyes with 0.1-0.2 eyesight, 12 eyes with 0.25-0.4 eyesight, 15 eyes with 0.5-0.9 eyesight, 9 eyes with 1.0-1.5 eyesight. Among the 27 patients (54 eyes) coinfected with HIV and syphilis, keratic precipitates were identified in 20 eyes, aqueous flare positive in 20 eyes, float positive in 15 eyes, and iris posterior synechias in 7 eyes. Nineteen eyes were diagnosed as syphilis uveitis, including 2 eyes with syphilis anterior uveitis and 17 eyes with syphilis panuveitis, among which, vitreous inflammatory opacity was observed in all 19 eyes, disk atrophy in 2 eyes, optic edema in 1 eye, vitreous hemorrhage in 1 eye, retinal detachment in 2 eyes, retinal hemorrhage and white vein in 1 eye. In addition, 8 eyes were diagnosed as HIV retinopathy, all manifested as cotton-wool spot. Among the 8 eyes, 4 were diagnosed as cytomegalovirus retinitis, 3 showed retinal yellow-white lesions, and 1 was in late phase which showed retinal pigmentation. The incidence of both HIV and syphilis coinfection patients and male homosexuality population increased. The most common ocular manifestation of HIV and syphilis coinfection was syphilis panuveitis. Six patients first visited the Department of Ophthalmology, and were then diagnosed as HIV and syphilis coinfection. Conclusions: The ocular manifestations of HIV and syphilis coinfection are diversified, which can be manifested as fundus necrotic lesions as well as anterior and posterior inflammatory. For HIV positive patients, syphilis serologic test should be routinely performed. The same, syphilis positive patients should be tested for HIV serum antibodies, in order to improve the diagnosis level of HIV/syphilis coinfection and give timely etiological treatment, which is of vital importance for saving visual acuity.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new technology of angiography in recent years. It has advantages of the optical coherence tomography (OCT), moreover, it can hierarchically observe the vascular morphology of the retina and choroid. By using the pseudo-color, abnormal vascular structure can be distinguished from normal vascular structure of the retina. With the fusion of the OCTA image and the regular OCT image, the structure and blood flow information can be obtained at the same time. This technology provides another method of examination for clinical ophthalmology, especially for the diagnosis of retinal diseases. This review will analyze and summarize the operating principle of OCTA, its application in ophthalmology, as well as its advantages and limitations. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2017, 53: 65-72).

Abstract
>‘Perennial ryegrass staggers’ is a neurological condition characterised by muscular tremors and ataxia in livestock that ingest the indole diterpene lolitrem B from endophyte-infected perennial ryegrass. While the neurotoxic mechanism of action of ryegrass staggers has been defined, little is known about metabolic and other molecular processes that lolitrem B may affect in livestock. The objective of this study was to characterise differential gene expression in the liver of animals fed lolitrem B-containing feed over an extended period of time. Eighteen steers were fed one of three rations (n=6/group) containing lolitrem B (247, 1,554 or 2,256 μg/kg (dry matter basis)) over 64 days in a double-blind study. Microarray and confirmatory qPCR were performed to evaluate the hepatic gene expression profile from biopsies taken on days 0 and 64. Widespread perturbation of gene expression was observed in all groups receiving lolitrem B, with a total of 152 differential genes identified (false discovery rate ≤0.05). This suggests that chronic exposure to lolitrem B, even at levels below the current threshold of toxicity (2,000 μg/kg lolitrem B), can perturb many genes, biological processes and pathways. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses indicated that many of these genes were categorised under lipid/steroid biosynthesis/metabolism and oxidation-reduction. Specifically, genes involved in the biosynthesis pathway of ceramide, a sphingolipid molecule (ACSS2, LASS6 and SCD) and changes in neurosignaling through alteration of nitric oxide synthase activity (ARG1 and GPX4) were up-regulated. Future work should focus on the overall balance between ceramide and its metabolites and antioxidants/oxidants in a variety of body matrices in animals with perennial ryegrass staggers, to determine how these compounds contribute to the overall etiology of this disease.

Abstract
Intravenous (i.v.) delivery of therapeutic viruses to human patients exposes virus particles to the potentially neutralising environment of the human bloodstream, where many components of the innate and adaptive immune system provide a formidable barrier to virus infection of target cells. Here we assess the haemocompatibility of ColoAd1, an oncolytic adenovirus currently undergoing clinical assessment for treatment of disseminated cancer by i.v. delivery. Compared with the commonly used serotype Ad5, ColoAd1 (which has a capsid derived from Ad11p) showed only minor inhibition of oncolytic activity by pooled human serum or washed human blood cells, with the amount of ColoAd1 required to kill cancer cells in vitro (the IC50) increasing <10-fold. However, some virus-blood interactions are concentration- and context-dependent, requiring study in whole, undiluted, human blood. ColoAd1 showed <50-fold increases in the IC50 in whole blood from most donors, whereas the activity of Ad5 was ablated. Extrapolating these findings to the clinical situation indicates that ColoAd1 would 'breakthrough' neutralisation in some patients receiving as few as 10(10) ColoAd1 particles i.v., and in most patients receiving doses of 10(12) or above, well within the achievable dose range.

Abstract
Summary
The design of a new type of electroreduction mixer-settler for the partitioning of uranium and plutonium during the Purex process, which is featured with E-shaped cathodes and U-shaped anodes in settling chamber, is described and the operational results achieved using this equipment are presented. The results show that this new type of mixer-settler has excellent separation performances. The flow rate of organic feed solution is 3 mL/min and the flow ratio of feed solution (1BF) to aqueous back extraction stream (1BX) and to organic wash stream (1BS) is 4/1/1. For an organic feed of 84 g/L uranium and 1.40 ⁓ 2.64 g/L plutonium, both the separation factor of plutonium from uranium and that of uranium from plutonium are apparently higher than 104

Abstract
A number of trait-model-free tests have been proposed for linkage detection between a genomic region and a trait. These tests involve testing the dependence in segregation between a trait and marker alleles by assigning a score to every possible identity-by-descent configuration of the pedigree members without modeling the trait, and then averaging the scores over all such configurations compatible with the observed marker genotypes and genealogical relationship of the pedigree members. In this paper we propose a permutation test as an alternative to the existing exact trait-model-free tests for linkage detection. The proposed test is computationally efficient and is applicable on complex multigeneration pedigree structures. In this paper, we have compared the performance of the permutation test with two other exact trait-model-free tests for linkage detection on simulated datasets. We have demonstrated that the proposed permutation test is fully robust against mispecification of marker allele frequencies and has very good power for linkage detection. The permutation test is implemented in the program lm_ibdtests within the framework of MORGAN 2.8 (http://www.stat.washington.edu/thompson/Genepi/MORGAN/Morgan.shtml).

Abstract
KcURA3 was cloned from Kluyveromyces cicerisporus CBS4857 by complementation of the ura3 mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. KcURA3 encodes a 267-amino-acid protein with 80% sequence identity to that of S. cerevisiae. An ura3 mutant strain from K. cicerisporus CBS4857, named Y179U, was obtained by selection on 5-fluoroorotic acid plates. Sequence analysis of this mutated gene revealed that it contained a point mutation at nucleotide position +277. Two vectors, pUK1 and pUKD, bearing KcURA3 were constructed. Either the lithium acetate method or electroporation could be used to transform pUK1 and pUKD intoY179U. The transformation efficiency using electroporation was higher than that using the lithium acetate method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of anterior retinal cryotherapy (ARC) for treatment of neovascular glaucoma (NVG). METHODS 12 eyes (11 patients) with open angle NVG were treated by ARC only, 22 eyes (22 patients) with closed angle NVG were treated by ARC combined with trabeculectomy, and 32 eyes (31 patients) with closed angle NVG were treated by either ARC or cyclocryotherapy as controls. The follow-up period were 6-26 months. RESULTS Iris new vessels (INV) regressed or disappeared with normal intraocular pressure (IOP) in 92% (11/12) of the eyes with open angle NVG treated simply by ARC. In comparison with closed angle NVG treated by the same method, there was a significant difference in IOP (P < 0.05). The combination of ARC and trabeculectomy showed markedly better results than either ARC or cyclocryotherapy for treatment of closed angle NVG (P < 0.01). In the eyes with closed angle NVG, INV regressed or disappeared with normal IOP in 86% (19/22), 90% (18/20) achieved a marked relief from pain and the visual acuity was better or unchanged in 67% (8/12) that was significantly different from the eyes treated by cyclocryotherapy (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results indicate that ARC is suitable for treatment of NVG at early stage, and ARC combined with trabeculectomy, at later stage.
