简介:青光眼是全球第二大致盲性眼病,全球有近4亿青光眼患者,我国青光眼的患病率约为1.3%,居世界第二位,约有2300万青光眼患者。临床上青光眼导致的失明占整个眼科致盲的25%-40%,是世界上第一位不可逆性致盲性眼病。目前为止,人类尚无一种有效治疗手段能够治愈这一疾病。患者一旦出现视力下降、视物模糊、眼红眼痛等症状就需要及时就医,青光眼对视力的损害是不可逆转的,最终可能导致失明。青光眼的病理基础是眼压升高,眼压的调节功能会受到影响,视物模糊会使患者以为自己只是看花眼了。患者往往通过眼部不适症状判断自己是否患有青光眼,这是一种非常主观的判断方法。那么青光眼有哪些症状呢?
简介:目的探讨榄香烯对人喉癌Hep-2细胞生长的影响和作用机制.方法用四甲基偶氮唑盐法(methylthiazolyltetrazoliumassay,MTT)测定榄香烯对喉癌细胞的抑制作用;以透射电镜来观察其形态学变化;采用DNA末端标记法(terminaldeoxynucleotidy1transferasemediateddeoxyuridinetriphosphatenickendlabelingmethod,TUNEL)研究细胞凋亡数;用免疫组化分析bcl-2蛋白在Hep-2细胞中的表达.结果榄香烯明显抑制Hep-2细胞的生长;透射电镜观察到染色质浓缩,沿着核膜排列,形成不同形状和大小的块状;DNA末端标记法说明,凋亡细胞数随药物浓度的提高逐渐增高;免疫组化结果提示榄香烯能使Hep-2细胞bcl-2蛋白表达降低.结论榄香烯能够抑制喉癌细胞的生长,其抑制作用与细胞凋亡有关,作用机制可能与bcl-2表达降低有关.
