Chinese Ophthalmic Research 2009;27(11):1039-1043
The efficacy of intravitreal injection of anti vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) drug has been recognized for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization(CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration(AMD), central exudative chorioretinopathy and pathological myopia, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), retinal vein occlusion, retinopathy of prematurity and neovascular glaucoma. The tendency of clinic application of anti-VEGF is increasing. Though the therapeutic effect of anti-VEGF has been confirmed, a variety of complications associated with its usage were reported. This review summared the advancement of the complication in the clinical application of anti-VEGF therapy such as its effect on normal structure and physiological function of eye, intraocular pressure elevation, rips of retinal pigment epithelium(RRPE), retinal detachment(RD), endophthalmitis and systemic side-effects.
2.Research progresses on relationship between Wnt inhibitory factor-1 and tumor
China Oncology 1998;0(04):-
WIF-1 is an important antagonist in the Wnt/?-catenin pathway.As a tumor suppressor, WIF-1 is down-regulated in majority cancers but when it is correlated with WIF-1 promoter hypermethylation and treated with demethylation drug, its expression can be restored.Functional loss of WIF-1 due to promoter hypermethylation plays an important role in a tumor's pathogenesis, possibly mainly through aberrant canonical Wnt/?-catenin signal activation.The correlation of the expression of WIF-1 with clinicopathological features in different cancers is not identical.Detecting WIF-1 and promoter hypermethylation may offer help for early diagnosis, therapy and predicting prognoses.

Objective To investigate neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult rat following conditioned fear stimulus.Methods 24 adult male rats were randomly divided into conditioned fear stimulus group and control group,and all rats were intraperitoneally injected bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)3 days before conditioned fear stimuli.Animals in conditioned fear stimulus group were given monotone matching foot shock and made conditioned fear stimulus model,animals in control group only give monotone.Freezing time was detected before stimuli and 7th,14th days after stimuli,then rats were sacrificed 7th or 14th day after fear conditioned stimulus,and immunohistochemistry for Brdu was detected.Results Behavioral assessment showed that the percents of freezing time in conditioned fear stimulus group 7th,14th days after conditioned fear stimulus were significantly high(88.68%,91.33%)than those in control group(11.18%,14.23%,P<0.01)and before stimulus(24.11%,16.11%,P<0.01).Compared to control group(1567±28,580±5),Brdu positive cells in dentate gyrus of rat in conditioned fear stimulus group(1364±21,296±22)were decreased,and it reached to a statistical significance on 14th day (P<0.05).Conclusion The decreased neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult rat following conditioned fear stimuli may have relation to fear and other emotion memory.

Objective To evaluate the effect of treatment with batroxobin on above moderate degree of sudden hearing loss (SHL) ,in order to achieve better clinical therapy .Methods The clinical records of 56 patients (57 ears) with above moderate de‐gree of SHL hospitalized from October 2010 to October 2011 were retrospectively studied .57 ears contained 22 ears of flat type and 35 ears of total type ,33 ears were treated with conventional drugs(conventional group) ,while 24 ears were treated with batroxobin and conventional drugs(combination group) .Results The differences of the total effective rate were statistically significant be‐tween conventional group and conventiona group(P=0 .012 8) and between flat type group and total type group(P=0 .012 6) . Conclusion The combination therapy with batroxobin and conventional drugs can significantly increase the total effective rate of the patients with above moderate degree of SHL ,which is superior to conventional drugs .The prognosis of patients with total type is poor than flat type .

Objective To investigate the prevalence,awareness,control status and associated risk factors of hypertension in a rural population in Xianghe county in North China.Methods A total of 830 adults (aged≥35) from Xianghe county were examined during July to August,2011.Blood pressure was obtained using a standardized sphygmomanometer after a 5-minute sitting rest.Information on gender,age,education level,marital status,smoking,drinking,income,family history of hypertension and use of antihypertensive medications was obtained.Results A total of 42.4% of all subjects had hypertension.Among those with hypertension,the awareness rate was 54.8% and 50.0% of the patients were taking antihypertension medication with the control rate of 11.9% [BP < 140/90 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa)].Lower age and education level,lower body mass index,negative family history of hypertension were associated with poor awareness of hypertension and worse compliance with the treatment.Older age,positive family history and alcohol consumption were associated with poor blood pressure control.Conclusions Hypertension is highly prevalent in Xianghe rural area.The awareness,treatment and control rate are all low.There is an urgent need for comprehensive strategies to improve prevention,screening,and treatment of hypertension in rural China.

Objective To screen for serum protein differentially expressed between women whose fetuses had congenital heart defects(CHD) and women who had normal fetuses. Methods Serum samples were collected from pregnant women whose fetuses had CHD and those whose fe?tuses had no CHD,including a CHD group of 40 women and a control group of 10 women. The CHD group included 4 subgroups as follows:tetralo?gy of Fallot,ventricular septal defects,persistent truncus arteriosus,and a mixture of relatively rare types of CHD(n=10 each). Samples in the same group were pooled to obtain equal amounts of proteins ,and the iTRAQ proteomic approach was used to identify and quantify the proteins dif?ferentially expressed among these groups. Results We successfully identified 606 proteins,among which 47 showed at least a 1.5?fold difference between the CHD and control groups. Among the 47 proteins,23 and 24 were upregulated and downregulated,respectively. Conclusion Several proteins associated with CHD could be identified by using the iTRAQ proteomic approach ,and various proteins were involved in the pathogenesis of CHD in this study.

Human parvovirus B19, generally referred to as B19 virus, has been closely associated with a variety of different autoimmune diseases due to the features of its capsid protein. B19 virus VP1 unique region protein that has sites of phospholipase A2 and several antigenic determinants is exposed on the outside of the viral capsid protein. As a result of that, B19 virus VP1 unique region protein can stimulate the host to produce autoantibodies, which induces and/or aggravates the autoimmune diseases. The biological characteristics of B19 virus VP1 unique region protein and its relationships with autoimmune diseases are de-scribed in this review based upon the published literatures and the work achieved by our research team. This review will be helpful to the prevention and treatment of B19 virus infection.
