International Eye Science 2015;(1):162-164
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.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of intrauterine re-adhesions treated by transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA). Methods Between January 2012 and January 2015, 12 patients with intrauterine re-adhesions after TCRA in other hospitals had fertility requirements , including 10 cases of severe intrauterine adhesions and 2 cases of moderate intrauterine adhesions .In our hospital , the 12 patients underwent laparoscopic exploration and TCRA .After operation the patients were treated with artificial cycle therapy for 3 months and then underwent hysteroscopic examination . Results In the operation, the remaining of 50%endometrium was found in 1 case, the remaining of 30%endometrium was found in 1 case, and the remaining of 20%endometrium in 9 cases.Only petechial and patchy residual endometrial islands were found in 1 case.Uterine dysplasia was found in 3 cases.Re-examinations of hysteroscopy 3 months after surgery showed 4 cases of uterine cavity normal recovery , 6 cases of moderate intrauterine adhesions, and 2 cases of mild intrauterine adhesions .Follow-up for 18-42 months (mean, 28.5 months) in the 12 cases showed 2 cases of term pregnancy and 1 case of spontaneous abortion .The other 9 patients had no pregnancy , 3 of which withdrew the treatment and 6 of which underwent further treatment . Conclusions Patients with intrauterine re-adhesions usually have seriously damaged endometrium and poor recovery .We suggest that TCRA should be completed by experienced professionals to reduce the residual endometrial destruction , so as to improve the treatment outcomes of intrauterine adhesions .
8.Combination therapy of DPP-4 inhibitor and metformin: Rationality and its evidence
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2012;(12):1033-1035
Metformin improves glycemic control mainly due to improved insulin sensitivity.Dipeptidyl peptidase-4(DPP-4) inhibitor,which suppresses degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and maintains the bioactivity of endogenous GLP-1,improves islet dysfunction.Moreover,recent studies suggested that metformin enhanced the biological effect of GLP-1 via different mechanisms and that DPP-4 inhibitor enhanced insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.Therefore,the combination therapy of DPP-4 inhibitor and metformin could simultaneously ameliorate the two major defects of type 2 diabetes and obtain complementary and synergistic benefits for glycemic control.
