Abstract?AlM: To study the number of myogenin - positive activated satellite cells in the inferior oblique muscles and the medial muscles of V- pattern exotropia with inferior oblique overaction, to further explore the possible etiological factors of V-pattern exotropia with inferior oblique overaction.? METHODS: The inferior oblique muscles and the medial muscles were cut from V - pattern exotropia patients with inferior oblique overaction during strabismus operation treated as the strabismus group. Cross sections were stained immunohistochemically for the presence of activated satellite cells, as identified by myogenin immunoreactivity. The inferior oblique muscles and the medial muscles were obtained from the corneal transplant donors ( six eyes of six cases) , which treated as the control group.? RESULTS: The frequency of myogenin - positive satellite cells of the inferior oblique muscles was (22. 7± 7.03)% and (4. 2±0. 75)% in the strabismus group and the control group. Significant differences existed in the expression of myogenin in two groups (P<0. 05). Again, the frequency of myogenin-positive satellite cells of the medial muscles was (2. 2±0. 75)% and (4. 5±1. 05)% in the strabismus group and the control group. Significant differences also existed in the expression of myogenin in two groups (P<0. 05).?CONCLUSlON: lt is first report that myogenin-positive satellite cells presents in extraocular muscles of V -pattern exotropia with inferior oblique overaction. The current results suggest that myogenin is one of possible etiological factors of V-pattern exotropia with inferior oblique overaction.

Dipeptydil-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are designed as oral anti-hyperglycemic drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes owing to their effects on the incretin system through sparing incretin hormones including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from rapid degradation by DPP-4.It has been shown that GLP-1 signaling may exert beneficial effects on cardiovascular system.In addition to GLP-1,DPP-4 physiologically cleaves cytokines,chemokines,and neuropeptides involved in inflammation,immunity,and vascular function.It means that DPP-4 inhibitors hold promise for cardiovascular protection independent of GLP-1.And its modulation of endothelial progenitor cells,infiammatory pathway,ischemic response,and lipid metabolism emerges as the major cardiovascular target of DPP-4 inhibitors.

Objective To observe the short-term clinical effect of compound sophora injection combined with Java brucea fruit oil emulsion injection for palliative treatment of advanced malignant tumors. Methods Totally 120 cases of advanced malignant tumor patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, each contains 60 cases. The control group was treated with Java brucea fruit oil emulsion, and the treatment group took compound sophora injection additionally by intravenous infusion one time daily. The cycle was 24 d. After 3 cycles, the curative effect, pain relief, improvement situation of quality of life and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed. Results Feasible curative effect evaluation of 112 patients showed:The disease control rate in the treatment group was 89.5% (51/57), and the control group was 74.5% (41/55). The total effective rate of cancer pain relief of the treatment group was 91.2%(52/57), and the control group was 70.9% (39/55). The improvement rate of life quality of the treatment group was 70.2% (40/57), and the control group was 49.1% (27/55). The differences between the two groups was significant (P<0.05). There was no difference in hematology toxicity, liver and kidney function, gastrointestinal adverse reactions and itchy skin incidence between the two groups (P>0.05). And the treatment group had a lower incidence of phlebitis than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compound sophora injection combined with Java brucea fruit oil emulsion for palliative treatment can improve curative effect, significantly improve patients’ quality of life, it was a safe and effective way in treating advanced malignant tumors.

Objective The aim of this study is to present two novel technique?Lying on position and rotational board TSEI in which uniform dose to the whole body as well as the soles and vertex of scalp can be achieved in one electron beam treatment fraction. Methods Patients are treated with two groups in prone and supine position by leaning on inner rotational board in prone and supine position, each group can further be separated into two subgroup with tilting and rotation positions for treatment. By incorporating all these setting on the aswirl board with the optimal gantry angle, the patient will final accumulate compensated dosages on whole body surface. Results The dose uniformity for the rotational board?TSET or Lying on position could be control within ±10%. Conclusions The two TSEItechnique?Lying on and Rotational board TSEI techniques presented in this study is able to deliver a uniform dose to the patient’s skin surface as well as to the vertex and the soles all in one time, eliminating the troubles of having to further boost fields for these two regions when using the Stanford Six Field Technique.

Objective To evaluate multi- slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in diagnosing bronchial-pulmonary shunts (BPS). Methods The materials of MSCTA images in 31 patients with DSA-confirmed BPS were retrospectively analyzed. Taking DSA imaging as the reference standard, the consistency in diagnosing BPS at different levels between MSCTA and DSA was compared. Results On MSCTA using aorta-density trigger scanning technique BPS was manifested as wrong-time enhancement of pulmonary artery branches. Wilcoxon test indicated that MSCTA had a high concordance with DSA in detecting BPS occurring at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches (Z = -1.854, P > 0.05), but MSCTA detection of BPS occurring at peripheral pulmonary arteries was obviously poorer than DSA (Z = -3.923, P < 0.05). MSCTA confirmed the diagnosis of BPS in 11 cases with a sensitive rate of 35.5% (11/31), and no differences in revealing the number and the shunt levels of BPS existed between DSA and MSCTA. The number of abnormal systemic arteries demonstrated by MSCTA was quite the same as the number detected by DSA. No false positive case was seen. Conclusion MSCTA is very effective in diagnosing high-flow BPS locating at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches as well as in revealing abnormal bronchus-related systemic arteries, which is very helpful in preoperatively evaluating the severity of the BP shunting and the supplying arteries to be obstructed.
