RESUMO
Purpose: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) polarity plays an important role in optic nerve regeneration. This study was designed to investigate whether semaphorin-3A (Sema3A) is involved in the regulation of RGC polarity and Sema3A protein expression. Methods: Cultured primary RGCs were treated with Fc-Sema3A or Sema3A siRNA or transfected with purified miR-30b recombinant adenoassociated virus (rAAV). The polarity of the RGCs was observed with immunofluorescence. A western blot analysis of phosphorylated protein kinase A (p-PKA), the downstream effector molecule phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3ß), and collapsing response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) was performed. Results: We found that Sema3A could statistically significantly promote dendritic branching while inhibiting the growth of axons in RGCs. miR-30b overexpression and Sema3A siRNA could statistically significantly promote the growth of axons while inhibiting the growth of dendrites from RGCs. Additionally, miR-30b could restrain the expression of Sema3A protein and its downstream PKA/GSK-3ß/CRMP2 signaling pathways. Conclusions: The results indicate that Sema3A promotes dendritic growth and inhibits axonal growth, which is not conducive to the early repair of optic nerve injury. The overexpression of miR-30b can overcome this problem, and may represent a new target for the treatment of nerve injury and regeneration in the future.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of phacoemulsification for complicated cataract secondary to uveitis. Metho ds Twenty-one eyes of 19 patients with complicated cataract secondary to uveitis were emulsified in situ frature technique after blunt separation of iris posterior synechiae, excision of organized membrane with scissors and st retching pupil. Results The visual acuities with correction on e week after operation was≥ 0.5 in 16 eyes (76.2%), and ≥0.2 in 18 eyes (85.7% ). The major complications were iris damage and corneal edema. No rupture of pos terior capsule and corneal decompensation were found. After operation, a round p upil was obtained in 19 eyes (90.5%) and an irregular pupil in 2 eyes (9.5%).Conclusion This operation is suitable for complicated cataract se condary to uveitis, and worth to popularize due to the minimization of iris dam age and postoperative inflammation in the anterior chamber, good visual acuity r ehabilitation earlier.
