Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of age-related cataract (ARC) and its surgical outcomes among adults over 50 in Wuxi City, China, with significant findings regarding demographic impacts.
  • Among 6,150 participants, a cataract prevalence of 23.1% was found, notably higher in elderly, female, and illiterate individuals, as well as those with health issues like hypertension and diabetes.
  • Post-surgery, 40.7% experienced poor vision primarily due to uncorrected errors and other eye conditions, highlighting the need for improved surgical quality and management of eye health issues.

Objective: To observe the expression of protein arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT) genes in the lung and spleen of E3 rats with acute asthma.

Methods: E3 rats with ovalbumin-induced pulmonary inflammation were divided into two groups (n=10), and the validity of the acute asthma model was evaluated by histological observation with HE and PAS staining and by measurement of NO production. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was employed to detect the expressions of PRMT1-PRMT6 genes in the lung and spleen tissues of the rats.
