International Eye Science 2015;(4):601-604
AIM:To investigate the effect of suramin concentration changes on trabeculectomy in rabbit, and to provide treatment strategies for glaucoma on the basis of experiment.
METHODS:Thirty-two albino rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, including standard control group, experimental group Ⅰ, experimental group II, and experimental group Ⅲ. Each eye was performed standard trabeculectomy. During surgery, standard control group was given a piece of cotton with 0. 3mg/mL mitomycin C ( MMC ) for 2min, and the other three groups were given a piece of cotton with 0. 3, 0. 4, and 0.5mg/mL suramin respectively for 2min. The filtering blebs and intraocular pressure ( IOP ) were observed at the 3, 7, 15, and 30d after surgery. Some conjunctiral specimen were observed with hitochemicall ( HE staining) and immunohistochemicall methods.
RESULTS:At postoperative 7, 15, and 30d, the changes of the IOP, functional filtering blebs, and the number of positive cell nuclear in experimental group II and experimental group Ⅲ were significantly different compared with those in standard control group and experimental group Ⅰ (all P<0. 05), and the differences between experimental group Ⅰ and standard control group were not significant (P>0. 05). The changes of the IOP and the number of positive cell nuclear in experimental group Ⅲ were significantly different compared with those in experimental group II (P<0. 05), whereas the differences in functional filtering blebs between experimental group Ⅲ and experimental groupII were not significant (P>0. 05). The status of filtering channel in experimental groupII and experimental group
Ⅲ were better than those in experimental group Ⅰ and standard control group.
CONCLUSION: The concentration of suramin has a significantly influence on its effect. When the concentration is 0. 3mg/mL, the antiproliferative effect of suramin is no more than that of MMC. The effect of 0. 4, 0.5mg/mL suramin is better than MMC. 0. 5mg/mL suramin has a better effect on controlling IOP and suppressing the growth of fibroblasts than 0. 4mg/mL suramin.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of variable-frequency electroacupuncture treatment for elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with knee oste-oarthritis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with variable-frequency electroaeupuncture, while the control group was treated with muscle strength training. Before treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment, the motor function of their knee joints was evaluated according to Lysholm' s knee scoring scale, quadriceps muscle strength was evaluated according to the maximum load capacity of knee ex-tension, and postural stability was evaluated using a static balance function test. Results Lysholm scores in the treatment group improved significantly compared with those before treatment, except for the item assessing support-ing. While in the control group, compared with before treatment, there were significant differences in the items as-sessing limp, inter-locking, instability, pain and stair activity. There were significant differences in the items as-sessing inter-locking, pain, swelling, stair activity and.squatting between the two groups after treatment. The maxi-mum knee extension load improved significantly in both groups. Static balance with the eyes both open and closed also improved significantly in both groups. There were significant difference in the length, covered area, rectangle-area and length/area of the sway traces of the two groups after treatment. Conclusions Variable-frequency elec-troacupuneture can effectively improve knee function, quadriceps muscle strength and postural stability in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis.
