Methods A total of 198 myopia cases (involving 393 eyes) were randomized into control group and treatment group. The control group was given eyesight examination after mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel and wearing myopia glasses for long distance. The treatment group was given eyesight examination after mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel, wearing myopia glasses for short distance, and massage therapy. Eyesight examination was carried out once every 2 months and lasted for one continuous year. The changes of diopter were compared between the two groups. Results ( 1) Of 194 affected eyes from the treatment group, 96 eyes were effective, 68 were stabilized, and the effective rate was 45.5%and stabilizing rate was 35.1%. Of 199 affected eyes from the control group, 3 eyes were effective, 9 were stabilized, and the effective rate was 1.5%and stabilizing rate was 4.5%. The differences of effective and stabilizing rates were significant between the two groups ( P<0.01). ( 2) After treatment, the myopia diopter was increased in the control group ( P<0.01 compared with that before treatment) , and the myopia diopter in the treatment group maintained stable ( P>0.05). The difference of diopter was significant between the two groups (P<0.01). (3) The difference of astigmatism was insignificant in both groups before and after treatment and between the two groups after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Mydriasis with atropine sulfate eye gel, wearing myopia glasses for short or long distance, and focal massage therapy show certain preventive effect on myopia in teenagers and children by controlling the development of myopia diopter.

Objective To explore the effect of suledexide on renal injury and podocalyxin expression of podocytes in STZ diabetic desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-hypertensive rats. Methods Wistar rats were subjected to subcutaneous injection of streptozotocin(STZ), followed by uninephrectomy and subcutaneous administration of DOCA. Diabetic and hypertensive rats were randomly allocated to treatment with sulodexide or a combination of sulodexide and telmisartan for 8 weeks. Blood pressure (BP), 24-hour urinary albumin were measured every 2 weeks. Blood and urinary samples were collected to detect biochemical indexes of plasma and urinary β-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) at the end of the study. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to examine the expression and distribution of podocalyxin. Results STZ +DOCA-treated rats progressively developed hypertension, albuminuria and hyperglycemia. Hyperlipidemia and hypoinsulinemia were found in diabetic and hypertensive rats compared with controls. Albuminuia was significantly reduced in sulodexide group at week 8 and sulodexide plus telmisartan group at week 6 and week 8. Blood pressure decreased in sulodexide plus telmisartan group. No significant effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were observed in all treated groups. Histopathological index increased in STZ+DOCA-treated rats, but was significantly lower in sulodexide group as well as sulodexide plus telmisartan group. The number of podocytes on glomerular cross-section of the four groups were comparable. Segmental loss and down-regulation of podocalyxin were detected in STZ+DOCA-treated rats, which were greatly attenuated by sulodexinde, meanwhile, combination treatment preserved more podocalyxin expression in glomeruli than sulodexide monotherapy. Conclusion Sulodexide effectively reduces albuminuria, prevents loss of podocyte podocalyxin and alleviates renal damage in STZ diabetic DOCA-hypertensive rats.

Objectiye To explore the expression of COX-2 and VEGF and its clinical significance in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods The expression of COX-2 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry in 42 cases of NHL and 20 cases of lymph node with benign pathological change. Results The positive rate of COX-2 and VEGF was 45.24% and 73.81% in NHL respectively. The expression rate of VEGF was positively correlated with that of COX-2 in tissues of NHL ( x2 = 4. 63, P < 0. 05).The expression of COX-2 was related to clinical stage and histopathologic grade of NHL ( x2 = 5.43, P <0. 05), but it had no association with gender, age, B symptoms, and IPI. The expression of VEGF was significantly related with aggression, B symptoms and IPI ( x2 =8. 979, 8. 893,6. 434, P <0. 05), but it had no association with age, gender and clinical stages. Conclusion COX-2 and VEGF may be involved in NHL tumorgenesis, and COX-2 may accelerate angiogenesis by increasing VEGF expression. Specific COX-2 inhibitors may be a novel therapeutic approach for NHL.

AIM: Changes of endoxin level, ATPase activities, intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentration, and gene expression of Na+-K+-ATPase isoforms in myocardium of rats with MIR and effect of verapamil were observed, in order to investigate mechanism of endoxin mediating intracellular calcium overload of myocytes. METHODS: Twenty four male Sprauge Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups. Sham operation group: silk suture was threaded the left anterior descending coronary artery without ligature; MIR group (MIR): left anterior descending coronary artery was subjected to 30 min ligation followed by 45 min reperfusion; verapamil group: MIR model was given 5 mg/kg verapamil. Verapamil was injected via femoral vein 5 min before reperfusion. Left ventricle myocardium samples were processed immediately after reperfusion in order to measure the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase, endoxin level, and intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentration. The levels of ?1, ?2, ?3 and ?1 isoforms of Na+-K+-ATPase were measured by immunohistochemical assay. RESULTS: After MIR, the level of endoxin in myocardium was substantially increased; the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase in myocardial membrane were significantly decreased while the concentration of intramitochondrial Ca2+ was increased; the levels of the ?1, ?2, ?3 and ?1 isoforms of Na+-K+-ATPase were reduced markedly. Verapamil had only effect on reducing the concentration of intramitochondrial Ca2+. CONCLUSION: MIR increases endoxin secretion. The latter may depress the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase by changing the gene expression of ?1, ?2, ?3 and ?1 isoforms of Na+-K+-ATPase in myocardial membrane, inducing intramitochondrial Ca2+ overload.
