The invention provides a method for preparing decellularized cornea. Due to the selection of components and proportions, colloid osmotic pressure of a decellularized cornea preparation liquid can be maintained by using a prepared protection liquid, and compared with a conventional decellularized cornea preparation liquid, the decellularized cornea preparation liquid is capable of remarkably alleviating the situation that the cornea transparency is degraded as an extracellular matrix such as collagen is excessively swelled and lost in the later cell treatment process; in addition, due to the addition of antibiotics such as tobramycin, bacterium propagation of susceptible cornea can be inhibited, and the contamination rate in the treatment process can be reduced. By adopting the method provided by the invention, cells can be crushed, and the situation that the trenchancy is degraded as cornea matrix collagen is damaged by long-term high pressure can be avoided. Secondly, as a detergent and nuclease act up simultaneously, cell debris and nucleic acid components can be relatively rapidly and effectively removed, and the situation that the trenchancy of the cornea is degraded as protein components such as cornea collagen are damaged in long-term treatment of the detergent and other components can be avoided.

The invention discloses a colorimetric method for detecting tobramycin based on double strand displacement and a three-dimensional DNA structure, and belongs to the field of food safety, medical analysis and environmental pollution detection. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, double strands T1 / T2 are designed; when tobramycin exists, Bsm DNA polymerase synthesizes double strands which are completely complementary through a strong strand displacement reaction, and Nt.BstNBI incision endonuclease cuts recognition sites on the double strands; the three-way DNA structure capture reporter probes, and regenerates and replaces a large number of S1 strands containing G-quadruplex forming sequences. Thereafter, the G-quadruplex / heme catalyzes ABTS<2-> / H2O2 chromogenic reaction, andthe tobramycin content can be determined by using the linear relationship between light absorption value and tobramycin concentration. According to the invention, an aptamer captures tobramycin to trigger double strand displacement reaction which is mediated by the Nt.BstNBI incision endonuclease and the Bsm DNA polymerase so as to generate a large number of reporter probes. Meanwhile, the reporter probes trigger lambda exonuclease-assisted loop amplification, so that multiple amplifications of colorimetric signals are realized, the detection range is widened, and the detection sensitivity isimproved.
