Objective To find out the method of ET-1 in regulating trabecular meshwork cell(TMC) contraction and to explore new effective drug treating glaucoma with little side-effects.Methods TMCs were obtained through the cultured tissue,and then loaded with Fluo-3/AM,the value of [Ca~(2+)]i was obtained by dynamically scanning the changes of intracellular fluorescent intensity after the application of different concentration of ET-1.Results The application of ET-1(10~(-9),10~(-8)and 10~(-7)mol/L),led to an increase in([Ca~(2+)]i.) Especially,the application of 10~(-8) mol/L ET-1 led to a significant increase in [Ca~(2+)]i: from(327.50)?(24.57) to 373.60?40.18(n=8,P

Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2016;19(9):710-714
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of digestive system cancer during pregnancy and its influence on mother and fetus.Methods Clinical data of 12 pregnant women accompanied with digestive system cancer obtained from the follow-up record of cancer patients between July 2007 and January 2016 in Daqiao Community Health Service Center of Yangpu District,Shanghai,were retrospectively analyzed.Results Delayed treatment,missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis were found in ten of the 12 cases.Eleven cases underwent B-type ultrasound as an early imaging screening method.Eleven patients had advanced cancer,but only two of them were eligible for radical surgery.Five patients could be treated with anti-tumor therapy.Eleven of the 12 patients died within two years after diagnosis,and only one survived over five years.Eight of the twelve embryos or fetuses died and four neonates survived.Conclusions Digestive system cancer during pregnancy has an insidious onset,and the rates of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are high,with advanced disease stage at diagnosis and poor prognosis.Knowledge of the digestive system cancer during pregnancy and early diagnosis and treatment capacity should be enhanced so as to reduce the damage to both the pregnant woman and fetus.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods 35 eyes (35 patients) with chronic (or recurrent) CSC treated with half-dose verteporfin PDT.Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness (CMT) were measured before and after treatment (1,3 and 6 months).The mean BCVA was 0.28± 0.22,mean CMT was(384.5 ± 85.0) μm.The situation of subretinal fluids (SRF) absorption was observed.Results In 35 eyes,SRF of 29 eyes (82.9%) completely absorbed and 6 eyes (17.1%) not completely absorbed after one month of treatment.SRF of all eyes (100.0%) completely absorbed after three months of treatment.After 6 months of treatment,SRF of 3 eyes (8.6%) were recurrence,which might be completely absorbed when a half-dose maintenance therapy PDT was used again.The mean BCVA significantly improved to 0.14±0.13 at 1 months,0.05±0.11 at 3 months and 0.05± 0.12 at 6 months after PDT (t=5.410,7.830,7.758; P<0.05).The mean CMT decreased to (224.3± 61.4) μm at 1 months,(199.6±32.7) μm at 3 months and (205.3±39.6) μm at 6 months after PDT (t=11.856,11.781,11.900; P<0.05).The mean CMT of controlled 32 eyes after treatment was (198.5± 33.9) μm,much lower than the fellow eyes(232.3 ± 17.5) μm (t =-3.988,P<0.05).Conclusions Half-dose verteporfin PDT was safe and effective in treating chronic CSC,but may cause thinning of CMT.

Objective:To observe the changes of macular microvascular structure and macular pigment density (MPOD) in eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and preliminarily analyze their correlation.Methods:A prospective clinical study. A total of 62 eyes of 62 patients with monocular RVO secondary ME (RVO-ME) diagnosed in the Ophthalmology Hospital of Xi'an No.1 Hospital from July 2020 to May 2021 were included in this study. There were 33 males with 33 eyes, 29 females with 29 eyes. The age was 58.30±12.15 years. The course of disease from the onset of symptoms to medical treatment was 12.29±7.65 days. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and MPOD test. BCVA examination was performed using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). The vascular density (VD), vascular skeletal density (SD), foveal avascular area (FAZ) and central macular thickness (CMT) of the superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) in the range of 3 mm×3 mm in the macular area of bilateral eyes were measured by OCTA. MPOD was measured by heterochromatic scintillation photometry. Bilateral eyes passed examination in 37 cases. The eyes of 25 patients failed to pass the test. The changes of macular VD, SD, FAZ area, CMT and MPOD between the affected eyes and the contralateral eyes were compared. The MPOD of the affected eye and the contralateral eye was compared by paired t test. FAZ area, CMT, VD, SD, and logMAR BCVA were tested by paired Wilcoxon signed rank sum test. Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between macular blood flow density (VD, SD) and foveal morphology (FAZ area, CMT) with logMAR BCVA and MPOD. Results:Compared with contralateral eyes, VD ( Z=-5.981) and SD ( Z=-6.021) were decreased, FAZ area ( Z=-2.598) and CMT ( Z=-6.206) were increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In 37 patients who passed MPOD test in bilateral eyes, the MPOD value of the affected eye was lower than that of the contralateral eye, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.930, P<0.05). Compared with the affected eye which failed to pass the MPOD detection, macular VD ( Z=-2.807) and SD ( Z=-2.460) were increased, FAZ area ( Z=-4.297) and CMT ( Z=-3.796) were decreased in the affected eye which passed the MPOD test, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that logMAR BCVA in the affected eye was negatively correlated with macular VD and SD ( r=-0.298, -0.461; P<0.05), which was positively correlated with FAZ area and CMT ( r=0.487, 0.789; P<0.05). MPOD in the affected eye was negatively correlated with logMAR BCVA ( r=-0.344, P<0.05). MPOD in the contralateral eye was positively correlated with CMT ( r=0.358, P<0.05). Conclusions:The VD and SD of macular SCP are decreased, FAZ area is enlarged, CMT is thickened, and MPOD is decreased in RVO-ME eyes. MPOD is negatively correlated with logMAR BCVA.

ObjectiveTo prospectively investigate the impact of short-time response on survival of concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic three-dimensional radiotherapy (CCTTRT) for stage Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From Jan.2003 to Oct.2010,201 patients with pathologically or cytologically proven stage Ⅳ NSCLC were included.All patients received platinum-based chemotherapy.Of the 167 patients eligible for analysis,the median number of chemotherapy were 4 cycles.The median dose for planning target volume (PTV) of thoracic primary tumor was 63 Gy.Response was scored according to WHO criteria. Survival was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the Logrank. Cox regression model were used to examine the effect of response on overall survival.ResultsThe follow-up rate of 201 patients was 97.5%.with 201,170 and 134 patients finished < 1,1 -2 and ≥3 years' follow-up.For the 167 patients eligible for analysis,the CR,PR,NC and PD rate of primary tumor was 5.4%,65.9%,21.0% and 7.7%,respectively.The effective group ( CR + PR) and ineffective group ( NC + PD) was 71.3% and 28.7%,respectively.The median survival time (MST) for patients with CR,PR,NC and PD was 22.6,13.4,8.8 and 4.8 months,respectively ( χ2 =44.79,P =0.000).The MST for effective and ineffective group was 13.9 and 7.6 months,respectively in the whole group ( χ2 =8.3 0,P =0.004 ),12.1months and 7.3 months in those treated with 2 - 3 cycles chemotherapy ( χ2 =7.71,P =0.007 ),and 13.9months and 7.9 months in those treated with 2 -5 cycles chemotherapy and radiation dose to PTV ≥36 Gy ( χ2 =4.00,P =0.045 ).No significant MST difference was detected between patients of effective group and ineffective group treated with 4 -5 cycles chemotherapy ( χ2 =0.67,P =0.413),or those treated with 4 -5 cycles of chemotherapy and radiation dose to primary lesion ≥36 Gy (χ2 =0.00,P =0.956).Multivariate analysis showed that 4-5 cycles of chemotherapy and CR and PR achieved in primary tumor (β =0.182,P=0.041 ) were independent favorable factors for survival. Conclusion CCTTRT can improve local control,and prolong the survival time for Stage Ⅳ NSCLC.
