Objective Development of eyeball is visually regulated by messengers that released from the retina, and research demonstrated that retinoic acid (RA) is the only extrinsic biochemical candidate that could act as a growth controller. Present study was designed to evaluate the RA system in retina of guinea pig eye with experimental form deprivation myopia. Methods The form deprivation myopia models were monocularly established in the 24 2-week-old guinea pigs by occluding the lateral eyes using white translucent hemispheres for two weeks, and the fellow eyes were as normal control. Refraction diopter was detected with streak retinoscopy after cycloplegia, and axial length and vitreous depth were calculated with Cinescan A/B ultrasonography before and 2 weeks after experiment. All animals were sacrificed and retina was dissected 2 weeks after experiment. The RA level in retina was delected by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The expressions of RA-binding proteins Ⅰ(CRABP-Ⅰ) and RA receptor-β(RAR-β) protein and mRNA were assayed by Western-blotting and Real-time PCR, respectively. The experiment and use of animals followed the Standard of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Results The spherical equivalent refraction was (+ 3. 00 ± 0. 75) D in the model group and (+ 2. 88 ± 0. 67) D in control eyes (t= 0. 672, P > 0. 05), the ocular axial length was (7. 822 ± 0. 083) mm in model group and (7. 791 ±0.073) mm in control eyes before experiment (t = 0. 346, P > 0. 05). In 2 weeks after experiment, the spherical equivalent refraction was (- 3. 82 ± 0. 13) D versus (1. 99 ± 0. 58) D and axial length was (8. 346 ± 0. 047) mm versus (7. 888 ± 0. 042) mm between model eyes and control eyes (t = 8. 376, P < 0. 001; t = 3. 343, P <0. 05). No significant difference in the level of RA in retina before and after experiment (1. 394 ±0. 079 μg/g vs 1. 295 ±0. 023 μg/g) (t =0. 897, P >0. 05) but obviously elevated after experiment in model eyes compared with control eyes (2. 356 ± 0.098 μg/g vs 1.499 ±0.035 μg/g) (t =4. 934, P <0. 01). The expression of CRABP-Ⅰ and RAR-β mirrored these directional changes. Conclusion The RA system in retina is upregulated in the eye of guinea pig with form deprivation myopia. This findings suggests that RA may act as a messenger in the development of experimental myopia.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of VEGF,ENS, MVD and arteriosclerosis (AS) plaque in atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) patients. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression of VEGF, ENS and MVD value in the atherosclerosis plaque of ASO patients hospitalized from October 2007 to August 2010 in our hospital (n =30),and the femoral arterials of control were collected from 22 amputation after traumatic injury. Results The expressions of VEGF (2. 24 ±0.31 vs. 1.87 ±0.27,t =3.58),ENS (1.84 ±0.41 vs. 1. 56 ±0. 38, t =2.09) and MVD value (8.79 ±2.46 slip/HP vs. 6. 05 ±1.68 slip/HP, t =3.64) were significantly higher in the AS plaque of ASO patient than control (P <0.01 or P < 0. 05). We found positive correlations between the expression of VEGF, VEGF/ENS with MVD (r = 0. 391, P < 0. 01; r =0. 583, P < 0. 05) , while negative correlation between the expression of ENS with MVD (r=-0. 328,P <0. 05). Conclusion VEGF promotes the angiogenesis in atherosclerosis plaque,while ENS shows opposite effect The comprehensive performance of them is promoting angiogenesis.

Objective To observe curative effect of olopatadine in treatment of allergic conjunctivitis combined with frequently winking in children. Design Prospective case series. Participants Ninety seven children with frequently winking aged 3-12 years in Shanghai Eye and ENT Hospital. Methods According to the factor in causation of frequently winking (FW), 97 children were divided into allergic conjunctivitis (AC) group, trichiasis combined AC group, AC with tics group, trichiasis group, tics group and unknown cau-sation group after clinical examination. The first 3 groups with AC were treated with olopatadine 0.1% ophthalmic solution b.I.d.(n=35) and emedastine 0.05% ophthalmic solution was used q.I.d, in AC group as control(n=32). The patients were followed after 3 weeks and the extent of symptoms of FW was recorded. Main Outcome Measures Extent of the symptoms of FW. Result The effective rate of olopatadine in treating FW caused by AC or AC combined with other diseases was 80.43%. The effective rate in FW children caused mainly by AC was 82.86% which was higher than that of control drug emedastine (75.0%) (P=0.02). Seven cure cases were all in olopatadine treating group. Conclusion AC is the most common and main causative factor in FW children. Early use of olopatadine ophthalmic drop can effectively alleviate FW symptoms. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2009, 18: 272-274)

AIM: To investigate the action of diltiazem (a calcium antagonist) on the expression of heme oxygenase (HO) -1 and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the small pulmonary arteries (SPA) of rat in chronic hypoxia. METHODS: Chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension models were established by treating the rats in hypoxic environment[(10%?1%)O 2] for 6 weeks. After 2 weeks of hypoxia, rats were treated with diltiazem (15 mg/kg/day). Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) were measured. Pathological changes in the lungs were observed under the light microscope and transmission electron microscope. The expression and distribution of heme oxygenase (HO) -1, endothelial NOS (eNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) were tested by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Guanosine-3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) of lung tissues were detected with radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Diltiazem significantly decreased abnormal RVSP, and RVHI in model rats, attenuated the SPA media thickeness, and recovered abnormal eNOS and iNOS expression in SPA. Whereas diltiazem had little effect on the increased HO-1 expression in SPA caused by hypoxia and ultrastructure injury in endothelium. cGMP levels were corresponded with HO-1. CONCLUSION: Diltiazem has a significant effect on inhibiting hypoxic pulmonary hypertension structural remodeling. These effects might be partly attributed to the suppression of iNOS, promotion of eNOS, and not attenuation HO-1 expression in the lung of hypoxic rats.

Objective To compare the errors of double-center and single-center setup, and to study the role of both on reducing the rotational setup errors for the patients with esophageal carcinoma depend on rigid registration errors between online kV-cone-beam computed tomography (kV-CBCT) images and plans for CT images. Methods 20 patients with middle esophageal carcinoma received image scanning before treatment every week by using double-center setup and CBCT, and single-center setup images of 20 patients were taken from the X volume image (XVI) system. Then the images of both setup types, registration errors of CT image and rotational setup errors were compared respectively. Every patient received kV-CBCT scanning analysis before treatment every week, and 6 times in total. 240 group of kV-CBCT images from all of the patients were off-line matched with plans for CT images to calculate the errors of X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis. Then the data of linear errors and rotational setup errors from patients were collected, aiming at putting the error data into the patients treatment program and analyzing the significances. Results The standard registration of double-center setup was as follows: T (X) (0.28 ±0.19) cm, T (Y) (0.27 ±0.19) cm, T (Z) (0.33 ±0.12) cm, R (X) (0.40 ±0.19)° , R (Y) (0.30 ±0.18)° , R (Z) (0.30 ±0.19)° . The standard registration of single-center setup was as follows:T(X) (0.32±0.20) cm, T(Y) (0.29±0.25)cm, T(Z) (0.31±0.16) cm, R(X) (2.2±0.68)°, R(Y) (0.5±0.32)°, R(Z) (2.10±0.60)°. There were statistical differences between linear errors in T(X) and rotational setup errors in R(X), R(Y) or R(Z) (P< 0.05). Conclusion Double-center position can reduce the rotational setup errors, especially in X-axis, Y-axis errors, and may provide more help for the radiation oncology departments without on-board CBCT.
