Objective To investigate the relationship of matrix metalloproteinases(MMP?3 and MMP?9)and the tissue inhibitor TIMP?1 with left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in patients with primary hypertension. Methods Totally 140 patients with primary hypertension and 132 healthy controls were included. Matrix metalloproteinase?3(MMP?3),matrix metalloproteinase?9(MMP?9)and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase?1 (TIMP?1)were measured. All subjects were taken echocardiography examination ,then left ventricular mass index(LVMI)was calculated. Re?sults MMP?3,MMP?9,TIMP?1(488.32±100.32 vs 314.59±99.78;340.56±43.21 vs 290.15±33.98;389.16±57.53 vs 243.45±62.31;P<0.001) and LVMI(113.7±9.9 vs 88.3±10.4,P<0.001)in patients with primary hypertension were significantly higher than those in controls. In a multiple stepwise regression analysis with LVMI as the variable,it was found that age,SBP,MMP?3,MMP?9 and TIMP?1 were main determinants for LVMI (r2=0.78,P<0.001). 3. Patients with primary hypertension were divided into two subgroups according to LVMI,i.e.,hypertension with LVH (group A)and hypertension without LVH(group B). SBP,MMP?3,MMP?9 and TIMP?1(178±31 vs 166±25;490.14±99.13 vs 405.56±53.12;340.56±43.21 vs 290.15±33.98;393.45±47.69 vs 301.58±39.57;P<0.05)of group A were significantly higher than those of group B. Conclusion MMP?3,MMP?9 and TIMP?1 are influencing factors for LVH in patients with primary hypertension.

Objective To study the protective effect of total glucosides of Mudan cortex(TGM) on acute myocardial ischemia in mice and its mechanism. Methods The total of 60 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 12),normal control and model control (were given equal capacity of 0.9% sodium chloride solution),and TGM at low,middle,high dose (were given with 50,100,200 mg?kg-1 TGM).The mice were administered once daily for consecutive seven days.After the last administration,the mice in the model control and drug groups were treated by intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg ? kg-1 isoproterenol to to make myocardial ischemia animal model. TGM on the T wave and J point on ECG, and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),myocardial tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) changes was detected,and the extent of myocardial ischemic injury in mice was measured by Nagar-Olsen staining. Results TGM significantly reduced the displacement of ECG T wave and J point,and improved the related biochemical indexes in mice with myocardial ischemia.The activity of LDH [(898.992± 285.108) μmol?mg-1 ] ,the content of MDA [(11.737 ±5.162) nmol?mg-1 ]in mice treated with TGM at high dose obviously decreased in comparison to the model controls,and the activity of myocardial SOD [(45. 505 ± 20.711) U?mg-1 ] significantly elevated compared with the model control.It was showed that TGM significantly diminished the areas of cardiac muscles ischemia injured via Nagar-Olsen staining. Conclusion TGM has the remarkable protective effect on acute myocardial ischemia injury in mice.

Objective To investigate the surgical selection of retinal detachment with myopic macular holes. Methods Management strategies were adopted according to the ocular symptoms of patients with high myopia involved in posterior chorioretinal atrophy, the colour showed by the bottom of macular holes and the shape of posterior staphyloma. Seventy-five eyes of 72 patients fulfilled the study criteria. The patients were followed up in an average of eight-month-observation and were divided into three groups: single 16% C2F6 gas tamponade (26 eyes of 26 patients) as group A,vitrectomy combined with 16% C2F6 gas tamponade (26 eyes of 23 patients) as group B and vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade (23 eyes of 23 patients) as group C. Results 69.2%(18/26) of the macular holes were closed in group A, 73.1%(19/26)in group B and 87.0% (20/23) in group C after the primary surgery. Comparison of postoperative outcomes,macular hole closure rate was not significantly different among three groups (P= 0.3184). Conclusions It suggests that good anatomic retinal reattachment be achieved using any approach. However, the optimal surgical choice regarding of the personality case offered less surgical burden and more rapid visual rehabilitation to patients.

To investigate the advantage of using the medical sodium hyaluronate gel undergo goniosynechialysis, and to compare the difference of the viscoelastic agent and perfusion fluid by clinical control study.
●METHODS:Totally 103 cases (103 eyes) patients who had angle- closure glaucoma (ACG) with cataract all in Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, from September 2012 to February 2013. All the patients had primary glaucoma or recurrence ACG with cataract. Their intraocular pressure (lOP) could be controlled in normal value using one or two anti -glaucoma medications. We divided all the patients into two groups by chance. Experimental group had 53 cases (50 eyes), and control group had 50 cases (53 eyes). Two groups all had been performed phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis by the same experiential operator. But experimental group did goniosynechialysis using the medical sodium hyaluronate gel, control group did goniosynechialysis using perfusion fluid. We observed the change of lOP, central anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber structure of two groups in postoperative 1mo.
●RESULTS: SPSS19. 0 statistics software was utilized to analyze the data, This study selected one- side test α =0. 05, adopted paired t - test or two- sample t - test. We obtained that experimental group lOP decreased 12. 42 ± 0. 04mmHg, anterior chamber depth increased 1. 276 ± 0. 201mm; that control group lOP decreased 6. 56 ± 0. 08mmHg, anterior chamber depth increased 0. 852 ± 0. 132mm. And experimental group anterior chamber angle opened more widely than the other group, the comparison had statistical significance (P<0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON: ln phacoemulsification combine with goniosynechialysis,use medical sodium hyaluronate gel do goniosynechialysis can more effectively decrease lOP. This because the medical sodium hyaluronate gel has high glutinousness, it can separate angle of anterior chamber and controlling lOP effectively.

Background Congenital aniridia is a rare congenital autosomal dominant disease,which is shown as aniridia of double eyes,and the paired box gene 6 (Pax6) gene mutation is now known to be associated with congenital aniridia.Objective This study was to screen the Pax6 gene mutation in patients with congenital aniridia.Methods Eleven patients with congenital aniridia were enrolled in Tianjin Eye Hospital from August 2012 to October 2015,including 6 patients from 3 congenital aniridia family and 5 sporadic patients.All patients received routine ophthalmic examination.Peripheral venous blood of 3 ml was collected from the patients for DNA extraction according to the standard process of DNA isolation instructions,and all the exons of Pax6 gene,Elp4 gene,exon 5 ' and 3',intron splice sequence and SIMO sequence were amplified by PCR.Pax6 genes of the patients were sequenced using Sanger direct sequencing and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and compared with those of 500 ocular trauma patients.This study complied with Helsinki declaration,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results Iris absence was found in all the patients,and the visions acuity was hand motion to 0.2.Lens dislocation was seen in 1 patient.Direct sequencing results found that three patients in AN-O1 family were c.688g＞t (p.E230X) mutation of Pax6 gene,and 3 of 5 sporadic patients carried c.468g＞a (p.W156X),c.613c＞t (p.Q205X) and c.141 +2t＞c mutant of Pax6 gene,and the c.688g＞t (pE230X) mutation was a novel-discovered mutation.No any mutation in Pax6,Elp4 gene and SIMO fragment was detected in 1 patient from AN-02 family,2 patients from AN-03 family and 2 sporadic patients by both direct sequencing and MLPA validation.No above-mentioned mutation was found in 500 normal individuals.Conclusions The mutation of Pax6 gene is a pathogenic mutation in congenital aniridia patients,and c.688g＞t (p.E230X) is a novel Pax6 mutant,which expanded the mutation spectrum of Pax6 gene.
