ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the influencing factors of preschoolers hyperopia reserve, and to provide a scientific basis for preschoolers to prevent myopia.@*Methods@#Visual screening and a questionnaire survey were conducted on 5 087 4-year old children in Suzhou High-tech Zone from September to December in 2020. The influencing factors of children s hyperopia reserve were analyzed by univariate analysis and Logistic regression model.@*Results@#A total of 997(19.6%) children had hyperopia reserve deficiency. Logistic regression showed that the negative factors associated with hyperopia reserve included being girl( OR=0.81, 95%CI =0.70-0.93), no food allergy( OR=0.78, 95%CI =0.63-0.96); and the positive factors included father myopia( OR=1.20, 95%CI =1.03-1.39), mother myopia( OR=1.17, 95%CI =1.01-1.36), exposure of night lights(for less than 1 hour: OR=1.53, 95%CI =1.21-1.92; for 1 to 3 hours: OR=1.48, 95%CI =1.09-2.00), insufficient vegetable intake( OR=1.26, 95%CI =1.07- 1.46 )( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Parental myopia, nighttime sleep environment and dietary factors have potential associations with hyperopia reserve deficiency among children. Corresponding measures should be actively taken to improve the preschoolers hyperopia reserve.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the reversal effect and mechanism of lobeline on the multidrug-resistance (MDR) of human breast cancer cells MCF-7/ADM.@*METHODS@#In human breast cancer cell line MCF-7/ADM, MTT assay was used to determine the cell growth inhibiting ratio of MCF-7/ADM by ADM and Fu. Fluorospectorphotometer was employed to investigate the intracellular concentration of rhodamine123 to reflect the effect of lobeline on the activity of MDR-related protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Taking untreated MCF-7/ADM cells as controls, flow cytometry was applied to detect the intracellular concentration of rhodamine123 in MCF-7/ADM cell intervened with lobeline of 20 micromol/L.@*RESULTS@#The sensitivity of MCF-7/ADM to ADM and Fu was significantly increased by lobeline in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitive concentration 50 (IC(50)) of ADM declined from (44.81+/-0.43) mg/L to (16.72+/-0.75) mg/L with a reversion index of 2.68. The IC(50) of Fu declined from (53.12+/-1.60) mg/L to (38.90+/-1.43) mg/L with a reversion index of 1.37. The fluorescence intensity of lobeline-treated cells was significantly higher than that of the controls, when the concentration of lobeline was more than 10 micromol/L. With fewer side effects, the reversal efficacy of 20 micromol/L lobeline was 71.6% of the classical MDR reversal agent of verapamil at the same concentration.@*CONCLUSION@#Lobeline can reverse the MDR of MCF-7/ADM cells by inhibiting the activity of P-glycoprotein.
