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.

It inhibits de nove purine synthesis and also decreases expression of adhesive molecule. It inhibits selectively the proliferation of lymphocyte, so that it has strong immunosuppressive effects on various rejections to allograft or xenograft, and on autoimmune diseases, and has the features of higher potency and lower toxicity.

Objective To investigate the role of CT in the diagnois of superior vena cava syndrome secondary to pulmonary carcinoma. Method Fifty patients with pulmonary carcinoma resulting in SVCS were confirmed by pathological examinations. Relationship between anatomical distribution and gross type of pulmonary carcinoma and modes of pulmonary carcinoma resulting in SVCS were analyzed retrospectively and statistically. Correlation among obstructive degree of SVC, opening of collateral pathway and swelling of chest wall was analyzed retrospectively and statistically. Results For modes of pulmonary carcinoma resulting in SVCS, direct invasion of pulmonary carcinoma was 7 patients, metastasis of lymph node was 16 patients and both of the two was 27 patients.Modes of pulmonary carcinoma resulting in SVCS were different for different gross types of pulmonary carcinoma in different pulmonary lobes ( x2 = 30.012,P ＜ 0.05). On CT appearances of secondary lesions, cases of simple constitution and opening of collateral pathway, simple swelling of chest wall, both of the two and neither of the two were 14 patients, 12 cases, 15 patients and 9 patients in order on CT. With SVC obstruction at different extent,constitution and opening of collateral pathway and swelling of chest wall were different ( x2= 12.881, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions SVCS resulted from pulmonary carcinoma can be diagnosed by contrast enhanced CT.
