In the past decades,more and more mutant genes that cause inherited retinal diseases have been found.Meanwhile,many naturally occurring animal models have also been found to show similar gene mutations and phenotypes as the human inherited retinal diseases,which have led to the development of a variety of therapeutic strategies for those traditionally incurable inherited diseases.These models include rod degeneration (rd) mice,such as rd1 model,rd10 model and nmf137.To compare the efficacy of these strategies,this article briefly reviews the recent progress in the treatment of the mouse models with mutations in the subunit of rod phosphodiesterase (Pde6b)gene by pharmaceutical,stem cell and gene therapy in order to find a more effective treatment for retinal degeneration.

Uterine arteriovenous fistula (UAVF) is a rare condition,however it can cause life-threatening vaginal bleeding or acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage.Many diagnosis methods may be used,among which angiography is the gold standard of diagnosis.There is no clear treatment guideline so far.Treatments can be made according to patient's age,symptoms,bearing requirement and pathological changes of hemodynamic parameters.

Objective To explore the application value of new pre-operation auxiliary chemotherapy(NACT)in treating cervical carcinoma. Methods Two periods of chemotherapy were conducted on 53 cervical carcinoma patients;the chemotherapy projects were PVB and BIP;operation was made two weeks afterwards. Results The total effective rate of NACT was 77.4% ,26.4% of which was complete remission;50.9% of which was partial remission;local carcinoma bulk decreased significantly; the post-operation pathology indicated that there was 3.8% of uterus infiltration and 7.1% of pelvic cavity lymph node metastasis. Those patients received chemotherapy after the operation,all patients were followed up. Conclusion NACT is safe and effective for the pre-operation treatment of cervical carcinoma,which can reduce the carcinoma bulk and increase the successful rate of the operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of montelukast sodium chewable tablets on pulmonary function in children with allergic asthma . Methods 86 cases of children with allergic asthma were randomLy divided into 2 groups, 43 cases in the control group were treated with routine clinical treatment, 43 cases in the experiment group received more with montelukast sodium chewable tablets.Serum T lymphocyte subsets, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-4 concentration levels, as well as FVC, FEV1, PEF levels and clinical efficacy were compared of two groups pre-and post-treatment.Results Compared with pre-treatment, Serum CD4 +, CD4 +/CD8 +, FVC, FEV1 and PEF levels in 2 groups increased, serum CD8 +, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-a levels decreased, compared with the control group, serum CD4 +, CD4 +/CD8 +, FVC, FEV1, PEF level and the effective rate in the experiment group post-treatment were higher, serum CD8 +, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-αlevels and the ineffective rate were lower, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Montelukast sodium chewable tablets can effectively improve the imbalance of immune function in children with allergic asthma , improve lung function, and has good clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the relationship of nitric oxide with nitric oxide synthase system in fetal rat kidney and the mechanism of renal injury after acute intrauterine ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion. Methods Wistar rats of 21 gestational days were selected and divided into seven groups according to the different ischemia(hypoxia)/reperfusion time. The level of nitric oxide and the expression of nitric oxide synthase system were detected by biochemistry, immunohistochemistry and RT PCR. Results The NO level was decreased gradually with extension of ischemia, which was significantly different from sham group ( P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy in aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen on Luminal postmenopausal breast neoplasms.Methods PubMED,Science Direct,EBSCO Host,EMbase,The Cochrane Library,CNKI,CECDB and CQVIP were retrieved,the evaluation methodology included.The quality of the included studies and extracted data should be researched rigorously.Review Manager 5.0 software was used to evaluate the quality standards of randomized clinical trial (RCT).Results Twelve RCT were selected,included 2634 patients,1354 cases of treatment group (use aromatase inhibitors),1280cases of control group (use tamoxifen).The results of the evaluation of the system:compared to control group,treatment group significantly improved disease-free survival in 1 year (RR =1.10,95％ CI 1.01-1.19),disease-free survival in 3 years (RR =1.09,95％ CI 1.05-1.13),the overall efficiency in 1 year (RR =1.21,95％ CI 1.12-1.30),furthermore treatment group significantly reduced the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in 3 years (RR =0.47,95％ CI 0.27-0.83),but there was no significant difference in the incidence of bone and joint disease in 3 years between the 2 groups (RR =0.99,95％ CI 0.61-1.61).Conclusion Compared to tamoxifen,the efficacy of aromatase inhibitors is excellent in treatment of Luminal postmenopausal breast neoplasms,it is worth promoting.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of lung detoxification soup for treatment of patients with ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP)and its effects on serum procalcitonin(PCT),high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP)and white blood cell count(WBC). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted, sixty cases of VAP with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome of accumulation of phlegm and heat in lung from Department of Intensive Care Unit(ICU)in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui TCM University were enrolled, and the CASIO fx-360P function calculator was applied to generate random numbers to proceed to simple randomized dividing into two groups(each,30 cases). In the control group,mechanical ventilation,anti-infection,prevention of stress ulcer,early enteral nutrition,early weaning of ventilator and conventional western medicine treatment were given to the patients,while in the treatment group,based on the above conventional treatments in the control group,additionally the lung detoxification soup was given(soup composition:radix astragali 20 g ,baical skullcap root 15 g,coptis 10 g,shellfish 8 g,pinelliae tuber 10 g,white mustard seed 10 g,heartleaf houttuynia herb 15 g, honeysuckle flower 15 g,forsythia 15 g,banlangen 15 g,rhubarb 10 g,salvia miltiorrhiza 30 g)by nasal feeding, once 100 mL,twice a day. The therapeutic course was 7 days in both groups. The changes of TCM syndrome integral, levels of serum PCT,hs-CRP and WBC before and after treatment and the clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment,the TCM syndrome integral,the levels of WBC,serum PCT,hs-CRP were significantly lower than those before treatment in both groups,and the decrease in treatment group being more marked〔TCM syndrome integral:4.73±1.10 vs. 10.33±1.46,WBC(×109/L):8.71±0.55 vs. 10.77±0.65,PCT (μg/L):1.64±0.40 vs. 5.71±1.25,hs-CRP(mg/L):4.96±1.06 vs. 8.85±1.53,all P<0.05〕. The total effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group〔(93.33%(28/30)vs. 73.33(22/30),P<0.05〕. Conclusion The lung detoxification soup can significantly improve the clinical symptoms,reduce the levels of WBC,serum PCT and hs-CRP in patients of VAP with TCM syndrome of accumulation of phlegm and heat in lung, therefore the soup may play a beneficial role as an adjuvant therapy for such patients.
