简介:目的:利用DNA探针杂交技术,结合显色探针技术建立一种新型、高灵敏的免疫检测体系,用于早期先天性白内障的筛查。方法:选取3个常染色体显性遗传的先天性白内障家系中患者14例,取静脉血并提取mRNA,建立CRYAB的捕获探针及显色探针。利用DNA探针,通过碱基配对原则形成三明治结构(捕获探针-DNA探针-显色探针)检测入选者的血样。1家系6例患者静脉血利用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测琢B-晶状体蛋白。结果:最佳条件下,双特异探针技术可检测到最低浓度的先天性白内障晶状体蛋白的突变基因,各突变位点检测率为99.5%~99.7%;ELISA法检测样本琢B-晶状体蛋白上调,阳性率为85.9%。双特异探针技术敏感性更高,检测位点更多,ELISA法仅局限于蛋白检测水平,精确性不高。结论:双特异探针检测技术操作简单,灵敏度高,可重复性高,经济实惠,在临床上用于产前诊断、优生优育具有重要的应用价值。

简介:目的:运用PlusoptixA09小儿自动测光仪探测雅加达地区学龄前儿童屈光不正及其他眼病的发生情况。方法:对雅加达的三个地区(南唐格朗,勿加泗和西雅加达)三所幼儿园中,平均年龄4.46岁(2~6周岁)的儿童进行屈光不正及其他眼病检测。结果:受检的166名儿童中,男生占51.2%(n=85),女生48.8%(n=81)。视力筛选以Arthur修定标准为参考,并为15.67%(n=26)的儿童做更深一步的全面性眼部检查。其中2人高度远视,14人严重散光,6人散光加近视,1人屈光参差,1人无法检测,2人患有其他眼病(由慢性咳嗽导致的先天性眼睑下垂、严重瘀斑和结膜下出血)。结论:本研究表明,运用PlusoptixA09测出弱视危险因素结果为15.67%。此项数据表明,印度尼西亚地区医疗保健人员对学龄前儿童视力筛选工作不够重视,尤其是对不可逆性弱视的危害性重视度不够。
