International Eye Science 2006;6(3):540-542
AIM: To observe the effect of nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane on the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.METHODS: Sixty-six cases (87 eyes) were randomly paired into 3 groups, treated with nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane (22 cases, 29 eyes),compound trabeculectomy (22 cases, 29 eyes) and nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of SKGel (22 cases, 29 eyes), respectively.RESULTS: Compared with the other 2 groups, the group of nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane got a better postoperative visual acuity (P<0.01),satisfactively-controlled intraocular pressure (IOP) (P<0.01)and fewer complications (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane is an effective method for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.

Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 1992;0(06):-
Objective To explore influential factors and features of relapse of presenting with an initial episode of acute central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease(IDDCNS) in children.Methods By group-control study,20 relapsing patients with IDDCNS compared with 50 single episoding patients with IDDCNS whose case history longer than 0.5 year,whose age at onset,gender,preceding infection or immunization,neurologic syndromes at presentation,therapeutic response,and final neurologic outcome after initial episode were analyzed by mono-factor analysis and multi-factor nonconditional Logistic regression model.Results 1.The risk of relapse increased in the near future,75.0% relapsed before 6 months.There were 18 cases diagnosed multiple sclerosis(MS),1 case neurooptic myelitis and 1 case immaturity myelitis in relapsing patients.There were 39 cases diagnosed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in single episoding patients.2.Mono-factor analysis:8 factors were not statistically significant,including age at onset,gender,seizure,palsy,conscious disturbance,ataxia,natural relief,sequelae after the first attack;6 factors were statistically significant,including infectious or vaccination agents before episode,fever,visual disorder,multiple neurological signs,positive pathologic reflex,with marked improvement to cortical hormone.3.In the multi-factor stepwise regression analysis,visual disorder(OR=42.50)and positive pathologic reflex(OR=8.666)were the independent influencing factors,multiple neurological signs(OR=0.068)was independent protecting factor.Conclusions The rate of relapse in IDDCNS is lower than abroad and most relapse before 0.5 year,the main diagnosis of relapsing case is MS.When visual disorder and positive pathologic reflex presenting in the fist episode of IDDCNS,the opportunity of relapse will increase,and will decrease when multiple neurological signs presenting.

Gambogic acid-loaded polylacticacid nanoparticles (GA-PLA-NPs) were prepared by modified emulsification solvent diffusion. The shape of nanoparticles was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM).The size distribution and mean diameter were measured by laser particle size analyzer. The entrapment efficiency and content of drug loading were determined by Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer after ultracentrifugation. GA-PLA-NPs release behavior in vitro was carried out. The acute toxicity were carried out to study the security of GA-PLA-NPs. The preparation process adapted to the formulation was as follows: the volume ratio of the aqueous and organic was 2∶1(v/v), the surfactant concentration in aqueous was 0.5%,the drug concentration in organic was 0.1%(w/v), GA∶PLA was 1∶4(w/w). The mean diameter was 51.36nm for the nanoparticles prepared by above conditions.The entrapment efficiency and content of drug loading were 98.87 % and 13.3 %. The release behavior of drug in vitro showed an initial burst effect with subsequently a slower rate stage. The LD50 value of GA-PLA-NPs on mouse was 26.3 mg/kg. The results showed that the GA-PLA-NPs were well prepared with stable quality and high dispersion. PLA-NPs might be used as a new carrier for gambogic acid.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study is to investigate the effects of irradiation on the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells.
METHODSMC3T3-E1 cells were irradiated 24 h after initial seeding. Gamma-radiation was administered at 0, 4, and 8 Gy as single doses by using a 60Co source. Cell proliferation was assessed at days 1, 3, 5, and 7 post-irradiation by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylte-trazolium bromide assay. The collagen secretion of the cells was measured through sirius red staining at day 12 post-irradiation. The expressions of osteogenesis-related genes were assessed through real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction at day 16 post-irradiation. The matrix mineralization caused by cells was evaluated through alizarin red staining at day 28 post-irradiation.
RESULTSThe cells exposed to 4 Gy or 8 Gy demonstrated significantly lower proliferation rates compared with the non-irradiated group. Doses of 4 Gy or more significantly inhibited the expressions of osteogenesis-related genes (Osterix and osteocalcin). Collagen secretion and cell mineralization were significantly reduced by the 8 Gy dose.
CONCLUSION60Co gamma-rays dose-dependently suppress the proliferation, collagen secretion, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, radiation seems to dose-dependently inhibit the expressions of osteogenesis-related genes of the cells.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) in gestational trophoblastie diseases and its invasiveness.Methods The expression and distribution of MMP-7,MMP-9,TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were determined by immunohistochemistry PV-6000 in 49 cases of hydatidiform mole (eight of them with malignant transformation),six cases of invasive hydatidiform mole,two cases of choriocarcinoma and 18 cases with normal villi in early pregnancy.Results The expression of MMP-7,MMP-9,TIMP-2 and MMP- 9/TIMP-1 was significantly higher in choriocareinoma,invasive mole and malignant transformed mole than that in normal villi in early pregnancy and non-malignant transformed mole (F=10.950,7.760,7.304, 3.442;P
