ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Indapamide on the rehabilitation of cardiac function in patients with primary hypertension disease.Methods56 patients with primary hypertension disease were randomly divided into the Indapamide group and Hydrochlorothiazide group with 28 cases in each group, and treated with Indapamide and Hydrochlorothiazide respectively assisted with conventional non-drug treatment such as dietetic and weight control. The cardiac functions of patients in two groups were examined with echocardiography before and two months after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) raised and relative wall thickness (RWT) declined in patients of two groups, but the effect of the Indapamide group was better than that of the Hydrochlorothiazide group ( P<0.05).ConclusionThe effect of Indapamide on cardiac function and structure is better than Hydrochlorothiazide.

Corneal refractive surgery has been the major solution for the correction of ametropia.With the standardization of preoperative examination,intraoperative procedure and perioperative drugs,corneal refractive surgery has become much safer.Meanwhile,patients can get not only good visual acuity,but also favorable visual quality.However,the patient satisfaction has not been improved dramatically with the enhance of effectiveness and safety after surgery.Increase of the satisfaction degree to corneal refractive surgery is related to multiple factors such as experienced and highly skilled operation,operative safety,lessening operative complication,good postoperative visual and life quality of patients.Comprehensively analyzing existing problems in corneal refractive surgery in China and further obtain satisfaction of patient will be of an important significance for the healthy development of laser corneal refractive surgery.

Objective To analyze the feasibility, safety, and technique of laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with large hysteromyoma. Methods A total of 82 hysteromyoma patients with the uterus larger than 14-week gestational size were treated by laparoscopic myomectomy. The outcome of the operation were compared with that in 182 hysteromyoma cases with the uterus smaller than 14-week gestational size. Results In the 82 patients with the uterus larger than 14-week gestational size, 77 were treated successfully by laparoscopy, in which pneumoperitoneum was used in 68 cases and gasless laparoscopy in the other 9. One of the cases converted to open surgery, and small abdominal incision was made in 4 patients. Compared with the patients with the uterus smaller than 14-week gestational size, the 77 patients who had been successfully by laparoscopy had longer operation time [(157.6?89.7) min vs (35.3?26.2) min, t=16.926, P=0.000] and more blood loss [(218.0?108.2)ml vs (108.5?67.5)ml,t=9.904,P=0.000]. Conclusions Myomectomy can be performed under a laparoscope for patients with the uterus larger than 14-week gestational size. Highly skilled technique is important for the surgery.!Gasless laparoscopy is applicable to myomectomy for patients with the uterus smaller than 16-week gestational size.

Objective:To investigate the effect of DJ-1 encoded by Park7 gene on retinal ganglion cells(RGC) and visual function after optic nerve crush injury (ONC) in mice.Methods:Thirty-seven and 116 healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into group normal, group ONC 2d, group ONC 5d, group ONC 7d and group control, group Park7, group Park7-ONC, group ONC and group green fluorescent protein (GFP)-ONC. Group ONC 2d, group ONC 5d and group ONC 7d were sacrificed on the 2nd, 5th and 7th day after the establishment of ONC model, and the follow-up experiments were carried out. The mice in group Park7 and group Park7-ONC were injected 1 μ recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) with knocking down Park7 gene into vitreous cavity, and 1 μl rAAV with only GFP was injected into vitreous cavity of mice in group GFP-ONC, and virus transfection was observed 4 weeks after injection. The injury of ONC was perfomed at 23 days after vitreous injection in group ONC, group Park7-ONC and group GFP-ONC, and the samples were taken for follow-up experiment 5 days after modeling. The average density of RGC was observed by immunofluorescence staining, the latencies and amplitudes of a-wave, b-wave and photopic negative response (phNR) and the amplitude of oscillatory potential (OPs)were detected by full-field flash electroretinogram,and the visual acuity of mice was measured by optomotor response (OMR). The relative expression levels of DJ-1, Bax and B lymphoblastoma / leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) protein in the retina of mice in each group were detected by Western blot. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the data between groups, and t-test was used for pairwise comparison between groups.Results:Compared with the normal group, the relative expression of DJ-1 protein in the retina of the ONC 2 d group and ONC 5 d group increased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=16.610, 5.628, P<0.01,<0.05). Four weeks after virus transfection, strong GFP expression was seen in the RGC layer and inner plexiform layer of the retina of mice in the Park7 group. Compared with the control group, the RGC density of the retina in the ONC group decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=16.520, P<0.000); compared with the ONC group, the RGC density of the retina in the Park7- ONC group decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.074, P<0.01). With the increase of stimulus light intensity, the dark adaptation a wave and b wave latency of the mice in the control group gradually shortened, and the amplitude gradually increased. The stimulus light intensity was 3 cd·s/m 2. There was no statistically significant difference in the dark adaptation a wave and b wave latency and amplitude of the control group, Park7 group, Park7-ONC group, ONC group, and GFP-ONC group (Incubation period: F=0.503, 2.592; P=0.734, 0.068. Amplitude: F=0.439, 1.451; P=0.779, 0.247). Compared with the control group, the Ops and PhNR amplitudes of the ONC group mice were significantly decreased ( t=15.07, 12.80; P<0.000,<0.001). Compared with the ONC group, the Ops and PhNR amplitudes of the mice in the Park7- ONC group were significantly decreased ( t=4.042, 5.062; P<0.05,<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in the PhNR latency of the mice in each group ( F=1.327, P=0.287). Compared with the control group, the visual acuity of the mice in the ONC group was significantly decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=23.020, P<0.000); compared with the ONC group, the visual acuity of the mice in the Park7-ONC group was significantly decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.669, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, Park7-ONC group and ONC group, the relative expression of DJ-1 protein in the mouse retina was significantly down-regulated, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=47.140, 26.920; P<0.000,<0.000). There was no significant difference between ONC group and GFP-ONC group ( t=0.739, P=0.983). Compared with the ONC group, the relative expression of Bax protein in the mouse retina of the Park7-ONC group was significantly increased, and the relative expression of Bcl-2 protein was significantly reduced. The differences were statistically significant ( t=5.960, 9.710; P<0.05,<0.05); the relative expression ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in the Park7-ONC group was significantly lower than that in the ONC group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=13.620, P<0.01). Conclusion:The expression of DJ-1 encoded by Park7 gene is down-regulated after Park7 gene was knocked down, which aggravates the RGC damage and the decrease of retinal electrophysiological response and visual function in ONC injury mice.

Objective To study the effects of tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate(TOCP) on mitochondrial membrane permeability in hen's nerve tissues and investigate the mechanism of the organophosphorus ester-induced delayed neurotoxicity(OPIDN).Methods Adult Roman hens were randomly divided into four groups,including three treated groups and one control group(24 in each group).The hens in the experimental groups were treated with TOCP by gavage at the single dosages of 185,375 and 750 mg/kg respectively.TOCP was dissolved in corn oil and administered at 0.65 ml/kg.The control hens received an equivalent volume of corn oil by gavage.The hens were sacrificed on the 1st,5th,15th and 21st day after treatment and the cerebrum,cerebellum,spinal cord were dissected and homogenized in ice bath.The mitochondria in these nerve tissues were extracted to determine the changes of the membrane permeability and membrane potential.Results Compared with the control group,no significant increase of the mitochondrial membrane permeability in the cerebrum was observed in treated groups.In the cerebellum,the membrane permeability in the 185 mg/kg group had no significant changes,while in the 375 and 750 mg/kg groups it increased significantly on the 1st and 5th day after TOCP treatment(P

Objectives To evaluate the therapeutic effect of argon laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreous injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods Argon laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreous injection of TA was performed on 17 patients (17 eyes) with CRVO between December 2003 and July 2004. Results During the follow-up of 4-10 months, the visual acuity improved in 16 patients, including alleviated or even disappeared cystoid macular edema (CME) in 5, and recurred macular edema in 5 with decreased visual acuity after 3 months. Six patients had increased ocular pressure after intra-ocular injection which alleviated after treated suitably. No neovascularization in angle or secondary neovascular glaucoma was found. Conclusion [WTBZ]Argon laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreous injection of TA may improve the visual acuity and reduce complications in ischemic CRVO, though macular edema may recur in some cases.

Objective To screen the target genes that contribute to cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer treatment. Methods Gene expression and methylation profiles of ovarian cancer cells that were sensitive or resistant to cisplatin with accession number GSE15709 were downloaded from GEO database. Differential expressed and methylated genes were identi?fied through associating packages in R. DAVID database to screen the enriched GO terms and pathways of the different ex?pressed genes between A2780 and A2780/DDP. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of different gene was performed against DAVID database. Genes that exhibited difference in both expression and methylation profiles between the two types of ovarian cancer cells as well as genes that present contradictory profile between expression and methylation were verified via qRT-PCR. Results We found 416 different expressed genes and 281 methylated genes between the two types of ovari?an cancer cells respectively. These differential genes were rich in pathways of cell cycle, DNA replication, nucleus division , p53 signaling , and negative regulation of protein modification process etc. Four genes demonstrated contradictory profile be?tween expression and methylation in the two types of ovarian cancer cells and were verified by qRT-PCR. Conclusion Combination of bioinformatics and molecular biology is useful in the identification of target genes that contribute to resis?tance of cisplatin in ovarian cancer treatment and further reveal molecular mechanism behind it.
