AIM: To observe the clinical features of glaucomatocyclitic crisis and to investigate its pathogenesis, diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.METHODS: The clinical data of 15 cases (15 eyes) subjected to glaucomatocyclitic crisis were retrospectively analyzed including clinical manifestation and treatment.RESULTS: Visual field was normal in 13 eyes, and 2eyes had glaucomatous visual field defects. C/D ratio was ≤0.3 in 10 eyes and ≥0.6 in 2 eyes. Through pharmacotherapy the symptoms in 14 eyes disappeared after 2wk. One eye was diagnosed as being complicated by primary open-angle glaucoma and well treated with surgery.CONCLUSION: Glaucomatocyclitic crisis is a kind of ocular syndrome with unknown pathogenesis. It should be differentiated from primary glaucoma and uveitis clinically. Its prognosis is not absolutely benign, and the patients should be followed up regularly.

Objective To observe the expression of induced nitricoxide synthase(iNOS)in ligustrazine against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.Methods Fifty white guinea pigs with normal hearing were randomly divided into the control group,ligustrazine group and traditional Chinese drug(TCD)group.The alternations of hearing function were evaluated by the examination of auditory brainstem response(ABR).Some specimens were perfused by AgNO3 and observed the damage of bristle cell.And some were sent for immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of iNOS.Results Compared with the control group,the threshold of ABR in ligustrazine group and TCD group were significantly different.There was a significant difference between the ligustrazine group and TCD group.There was no expression of iNOS in Cortis',spiral ganglion cell and stria vascularis in normal cochlear(control group).In the ligustrazine group,the expression became stronger in spiral ganglion cell,stria vascularis,spiral ligament and Cortis'.INOS also expressed in TCD group.Conclusion Ligustrazine can antagonize cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by inhibiting the expression of iNOS.

Purpose To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factorIImRNA binding protein 3 ( IMP3 ) and microvessel density (MVD) in squamous carcinoma of the cervix (SCC) and analysis their relationship in SCC. Methods The expression of IMP3 and MVD was examined by immunohistochemistry SP method in normal cervical epithelium ( NCE) , low-grade cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia (CIN-L), high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-H) and SCC. Results (1)The positive expression rates of IMP3 in NCE, CIN-L, CIN-H, SCC tissues were 0(0/15), 0(0/11), 37.5%(9/24) and 86.0%(43/50), the difference was statistically significant (x 2 =53.345, P=0.000). IMP3 expression was significant difference among NCE and CIN-H, SCC (P<0.008 3), and that was also among SCC and CIN-L, CIN-H (P<0.008 3). (2)The MVD count was increased with the development of cervical squamous lesion, there was significant difference among those groups (F=145.968, P<0.01), and the difference was al-so statistically significant between every two groups (P<0.05). The positive expression of IMP3 and MVD count in 50 cases of SCC tissues showed statistical difference in different pathologic grade, lymph node metastasis, and depth of tumor invasion groups ( P<0.05), but didn't in different patients’age groups (P>0.05). And the positive expression of IMP3 was closely related with MVD count in SCC tissues (rs =0.323, P<0.05). Conclusion IMP3 plays an important role in the occurrence, infiltration and metasta-sis of SCC, and the abnormal expression of IMP3 may relate with the angiogenesis of tumors.

Objective To evaluate the effect and the anti-tumor mechanism of nucleoside combination on human hepatoma cell line Bel-7402 with Arg-Gly-Asp sequence labeled by ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (RGD-USPIO).Methods The tumor cells Bel-7402 of logarithmic phlyhase were divided into experimental group and control group,treated with 1 mmol/L nucleoside combination and 1640 medium respectively.The two group were co-cultured for 48 h,and were added RGD-USPIO and co-cultured for 6 h.Then the two groups were proceeded with MR scanning,and the signal intensity of T2WI were measured.After extraction of the total RNA and protein of experiment group and control group,the expression of integrin avβ3 was detected using real-time PCR and Western blot.Results The T2WI signal intensity of experimental group (997.35±42.83) was higher than that of control group (241.05±15.36,t 28.79,P＜0.01).Compared with control group,the expression of integrin αvβ3 mRNA in experimental group was (0.22±0.02) times (t=4.50,P＜0.01).According to Western blot,the protein bands of experimental group were relatively lighter than that of control group,the expression of integrin αvβ3 in experimental group was lower (t =11.88,P＜0.01).Conclusion Nucleoside combination has anti-tumor effect by inhibiting integrin ligand-receptor binding,and the anti tumor mechanism may be related to the induction of tumor cell apoptosis.MR molecular probes can conveniently and accurately evaluate the anti-tumor effect of nucleoside combination on Bel-7402 cells.

Objective To asses the effects of Gamma nail and DHS/Richard (dynamic hip screw) in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Methods A meta analysis of all the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed. We included randomized and quasi randomized controlled trials in patients with proximal femoral fracture to compare Gamma nail and DHS/Richard. Results First we identified 88 papers on comparison of Gamma nail and DHS/Richard in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures published from 1969 to 2003. 7 trials involving 1256 patients were identified as meeting all the eligibility criteria. 3 investigators independently graded study quality and abstracted relevant data, including information on mortality rates, wound infection, function, revision in patients with a proximal femoral fracture. 4 trials, which included a total of 621 patients, provided detailed information on mortality rates over the first 6 postoperative months. We found there was no significant difference in the relative risk of death in the first 6 months postoperative between treatments of Gamma nail and those of compression hip screw (relative risk 1.17;P=0.51). 6 trials that included a total of 1083 patients provided data on operative complications. The risk of operative complications from Gamma nail fixation appeared to be higher than that from compression screw and side plate fixation but not higher than that from compression hip screw (relative risk 1.41; P=0.02). We also found an obvious increase in the relative risk of fracture of femoral shaft between Gamma nail and compression hip screw (relative risk 6.99; P=0.00). Patients treated with Gamma nail had a higher rate of revision compared with those with compression hip screw, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (relative risk 1.85; P=0.20). In addition, wound infection, operative blood loss and functional recovery were similar between the tow groups(relative risk 0.98 for wound infection and 1.02 for function). Operating time for Gamma nail patients was significantly less than that for DHS/Richard ones (P
