Objective To study the effects of allopurinol in different dose on the cardiac function of chronic heart failure rats induced by adrimycin. To explore dose-dependency of allopurinol in improving blood vessel endothe-lium function and cardiac ventricle remodeling of the rats heart, as to supply evidence and new sight in clinical treat-ment of congestive heart failure. Methods 40 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (group A)、model control group (group B)、low-dose allopurinol group (group C)、high-dose allopurinol group (group D). The heart failure model was made by administering adriamycin to rats. After the model myocardial pathological changes were detected. Results Compared with the normal control group, the weight and heart weight of rats in model control group and allopurinol groups were obviously lessen (group A=(300.10± 9.85)g,group B=(200.67±9.91)g, group C=(233.14±9.42)g,group D=(248.25±13.34) g;group A= (828.30±50.97) nag, group B=(681.50±16.97) mg, group C=(743.00±17.20) nag, group D=(784.88± 36.83) mg,P<0.05). Heart weight indexes were all incerased ( group A=(2.76±0.15) mg/g, group B=(3.41± 0.17) mg/g, group C=(3.26±0.76) mg/g, group D=(3.11±0.65) mg/g, P<0.05). The hemedynamics resuh showed that myocardial contractile force were enhanced in drug groups. The level of NO, SOD were increased in the allopurinol groups compared with the model control group (group B: NO=(41.55±6.28) μmol/L, group C: NO= (52.47±5.59) μmoL/L,group D:NO=(61.04±4.26) μmoL/L; group B:SOD=(63.83±6.40) U/ml,group C: SOD=(76.29±7.99) U/ml, group D: SOD=(100.13±7.43) U/ml, P<0.05) and MDA levels were obviously decreased (group B: MDA=(9.70±1.08) μmol/L, group C: MDA=(6.64±0.34) μmol/L, group D: MDA= (5.72±0.71)p.moVL,P<0.05). The level of NO, SOD were obviously increased in the allopurinol of high-dose group compared with low-dose allopurinol group(P<0.05). MDA levels were obviously decreased(P<0.05). The myocardial pathological changes were relieved obviously in the allopufinol groups. Conclusion Allopurinol improves blood vessel endothelium function dose-dependently. High-dese allopurinol obviously decreases MDA, improve NO, SOD, thereby can improve the cardiac function of heart failure.

AIM: To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of human umbilical vein (HUV)implantation and mitomycin C (MMC) in non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS). METHODS:A total of 32 patients (46 eyes) with uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were divided into two groups: HUV+MMC group (n=25), SKGEL+MMC group (n=21). The procedure commenced with the creation of a limbus based conjunctival flap. After the dissection of a superficial limbus based rectangular scleral flap, MMC(0.4mg/mL) was used superior and inferior surface of the superficial scleral flap for three minutes. A second limbus based scleral flap was carefully dissected beneath the previous one towards the choroid. Schlemm's canal was deroofed during the extension of the deep scleral flap toits limbal edges. HUV or SKGEL fixed on the bed of sclera in experimental group. Postoperative examinations were performed at 1 week,2,4 weeks;2,6,12 months. IOP,best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), functional blebs and success rate were examined. RESULTS: There were no statistically differences with postoperative IOP in HUV+MMC group and SKGEL+MMC group (P>0.05) during 1 week to 12 months. There was no difference with postoperative function blebs and the change of BCVA during 1 week to 12 months between HUV+MMC group and SKGEL+MMC group (P>0.05).At 12 months after surgery, the success rate was 84% in HUV+MMC group,86% in SKGEL+MMC group. CONCLUSION: The application of HUV in NPTS can prevent the adhesion of filtering channel and it can improve the success rate of NPTS. Compared with SKGEL, HUV has lower price. So it is a better implant.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of one-site versus two-site phacotrabeculectomy in the treatment of patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma. METHODS: A comprehensive literature meta-analysis was performed according to the Cochrane Collaboration methodology to identify controlled clinical trials comparing one-site with two-site phacotrabeculectomy. The studies meeting the predefined criteria were reviewed systematically by meta-analysis. Efficacy estimates were measured by standardised mean difference (SMD) for the percentage intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction from baseline to end point, odds ratio (OR) for the percentage having a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.5 or better after surgery and relative risk (RR) for complete success rates. Tolerability estimates were measured by RR for adverse events. All of outcomes were reported with 95% confidence interval (CI). Data were synthesised by Stata 10.1 for Windows. RESULTS: Two-site phacotrabeculectomy was associated with numerically greater, and significant efficacy than one-site in lowering IOP(SMD,-0.19;95% CI, -0.33 to -0.04; P=0.01). Numerically greater, but nonsignificant proportions of two-site patients than one-site patients had a BCVA of 0.5 or better (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.30 to 1.39; P=0.26).Numerically greater, but nonsignificant proportions of two-site patients than one-site patients achieved the target IOP without anti-glaucoma medication at the end point (RR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.04; P=0.22). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in adverse events between two surgical procedures.CONCLUSION: The efficacy of two-site phacotrabeculectomy appears to be superior to one-site phacotrabeculectomy. One-site and two-site phacotrabeculectomy are similarly tolerable in postoperative adverse events.
