Correlated color temperature(CCT) is a commonly used index to quantify the spectral composition of light. Here, we used 32 juvenile monkeys(16 females and 16 males) and selected four kinds of light with typical but different CCTs to study the relationship between CCT and ocular axial elongation.展开更多

RESULTS: Two novel compound heterozygous mutations in TRPM1 were detected in the recruited families.The proband in family A with eo HM carried a c.2594 C 〉T missense mutation in exon 19 and a c.669 +3_669 +6del AAGT splicing mutation,which was co-segregated with CSNB1 in this family.A patient in family B with a compound heterozygous missense mutation(c.3262 G〉A and c.3250 T〉C) was detected.No mutations were found in NYX.These two identified compound heterozygous mutations were not found in the 96 normal controls.After further examination of the family members,the patients in family A could be diagnosed as eo HM with CSNB1.However due to the limited clinic data,the patient in family B cloud not clearly diagnosed as CSNB1.CONCLUSION: This study has expanded the mutation spectrum of TRPM1 for CSNB1 and additional studiesare needed to elucidate the association between isolated high myopia and TRPM1 and NYX.展开更多

Animals in group I were raised in a completely closed carton with green flickering light illumination. Those in group II were kept in the open top closed carton under normal natural light. Guinea pigs were raised in a sight-widen cage under normal natural light in group III. The refractive status and axial length were measured before and after 8 weeks' illumination. Moreover, total RNA extracted from retinal, choroidal, and scleral tissues were determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The expressions of the receptor M1 were also explored in the retina, choroid, and sclera using immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: There was a remarkable reduction in refractive error and increase in axial length after 8-weeks' green flickering light stimulation(P〈0.001). The expression of M1 receptor mRNA in sclera and retina in myopia group were remarkably lower than that in group II and III(P〈0.01). Significant reduced expression of M1 receptor stimulated by green flickering light in retina and sclera tissues were also observed(P〈0.05). However, there was no M1 receptor expression in choroid in 3 groups.CONCLUSION: Myopia can be induced by 8 weeks' green flickering light exposure in the animal model. M1 receptor may be involved causally or protectively in myopia development.展开更多
