AlM:To investigate the effect of peripheral vision control technology for delaying the development of juvenile myopia.METHODS:A total of ninty-nine cases of 12 ~18 year-old myopic patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group was peripheral vision control technology group whose members wore the special lenses which can help correct the hypermetropic defocus of peripheral retina. The other was control group whose members wore ordinary monofocal lenses. All the subjects needed to accept re-examination every 3mo and be recorded the data of dioptre, corneal curvature and axial length.RESULTS: After 18mo, the dioptre and axial length of two groups had increased in varying degree. But the data's different quantity of the corneal curvature in each group had no statistical significance ( P > 0. 05 ). Themyopia deepen quantity in experimental group was-0. 65±0. 65D and its axial growth was 0. 23±0. 22mm, and the myopia deepen quantity in control group was -1. 17 ± 0. 50D and its axial growth was 0. 41 ± 0. 17mm. Under the circumstance of valid data, the increment of myopia and axial length in experimental group was lower than that in control group (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Peripheral vision control technology can delay the development of juvenile myopia effectively.

Immunoglobulins ( Ig ) , also called antibodies, are important components in humoral -mediated immunity. Ig can bind with their receptors, called immunoglobulin receptors ( IgR ) , trigger biologic activities respectively. Different sub-types of Igs show different function. And IgRs have been treated as therapeutic targets in inflammation and immunity related dis-eases for many years. This article reviewed the recent progresses in the study of IgR function and its therapeutic role in inflamma-tion and immunity related diseases.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of nitric oxide ( NO) and endothelin ( ET) in type 2 diabetes patients with vascular complications, and to analyze the relationship between these levels and risk factors.Method We selected 98 cases of type 2 diabetes patients.Based on the grouping criteria, the patients were divided into diabetic patients with vascular complications ( group A,49 cases) and those without ( group B,49 cases) .In addition, 44 age-and body mass index-matched healthy cases were selected for control(group C).Height, weight, blood pressure, duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), blood lipids, and serum levels of NO and ET-1 of all the patients were recorded.Results The NO levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly lower than in group C[(43.87 ±12.05)and (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L versus (66.08 ±16.48)μmol/L, P<0.01], while the ET-1 levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher [(100.25 ±20.34) and (77.55 ±14.84) versus (53.62 ±8.40)ng/L, P<0.01] than those of the group C.The NO levels of group A were significantly lower than in group B [(43.87 ±12.05) versus (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L, P<0.01].Moreover, the ET-1 levels of the group A were significantly higher than in group B [(100.25 ±20.34) versus (77.55 ±14.84)ng/L, P<0.01].Between the two diabetic groups, group A showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), HbA1c, and course than group B (P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between SBP, DBP, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and NO a positive correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and NO, a negative correlation between HDL-C and ET-1, and a positive correlation between SBP,LDL-C, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and ET-1.Conclusion The serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are evidently abnormal.Vascular endothelium injury will become more serious in patients with complications.Therefore, the serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are correlated with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels.

Objective To explore the efficacy difference of biliary stent combined with 125I seed intracavity irradiation and palliative biliary drainage in the treatment of obstructive jaundice caused by pancreatic head cancer. Methods The clinic date of 95 patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent palliative surgery from June 2010 to June 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. 46 of the cases were treated with percutaneous biliary metal stent implantation combined with 125I seed intracavity irradiation (stent group), and the other 49 cases were treated with palliative biliary enterostomy (surgery group). The levels of jaundice, liver function, tumor size, survival time and hospitalization cost were compared between the patients before and after treatment. Paired t-test was applied for statistical analysis. Results Both the two treatment coulel effectively relieve jaundice and improve liver function. The mean TBIL of surgery group and stent group was (29.4±9.6) and (21.0±8.0)μmol/L after three months treanment, (40.3±11.0) and (24.4±9.6)μmol/L after six months treatment, respectively. Tumor maximum diameter of the two groups were (37.9 ± 4.5) mm and (33.5 ± 6.0)mm after three months treatment, (45.9 ± 5.0) mm and (37.0 ± 6.5) mm after six months, respectively. Each time point between them had statistical significance (t=-4.235,-5.476,-3.654,-6.702, P<0.05). The mean survival time was (12.83 ± 0.80) months in the stent group and (9.06±0.49) months in the surgery group, the difference was statistically significant (t=-3.49, P<0.01). The mean hospitalization cost of the stent group was (38 453.0 ± 7 282.0) yuan and the surgery group was (43 057.0 ± 7 667.4) yuan, the difference was statistically significant (t= 2.759, P<0.05). Conclusion For inoperable pancreatic head cancer patients, compared with palliative biliary enteric drainage, percutaneous biliary stent placement combined with 125I seed intracavity irradiation can effectively relieve biliary obstruction, improve liver function, inhibit tumor growth and prolong survival time.

Objective:To observe autophagy induced by aminophylline in human peripheral blood T lymphocytes.Methods:Peripheral blood T lymphocytes from health adults were separated with Percoll(1.073 g/ml) and harvested by using nylon column.The cultured cells were divided into control group,aminophylline group(10-8～10-3mol/L,or 0.001 8～180 ?g/ml)and dexamethasone(DXM) group,and the rates of autophagy and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:①The purities of T lymphocyte were 81.3%～94.5%。②In control group for 72 h cultivation,the autophagic rate of T lymphocytes was significantly lower than those of 10-5～10-3mol/L aminophylline group(P0.05);In 10-5mol/L aminophylline group,the autophagic rate of different T lymphocyte density after cultivation(0,24,48,72 h) had a tendency of increase along with time lasting and decrease of cell density,but the difference did not show significance.③There was significant statistic difference in incidence rate of apoptotic T lymphocytes between control and DXM group in 72 h cultivation(P=0.000);But there was no significant statistic difference in the rate of autophagic(P=0.481).Conclusion:10-3～10-5mol/L aminophylline can induce autophagy in peripheral blood T lymphocytes,10-3～10-8mol/L aminophylline could induce both autophagy and apoptosis,and there is no significant correlation between autophagy and apoptosis;DXM can induce apoptosis in peripheral blood T lymphocytes,which indicates different programmed cell death of T lymphocytes could be induced by different medicines.

Objective To observe the effect of sulfur dioxide (SO2) on vasoactive peptides in aorta of atherosclerotic(AS) rats.Methods Twenty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (8 cases),AS group (10 cases) ,AS + SO2 group (10 cases).The rats in AS group and AS + SO2 group were given 700 000 U/kg Vitamin D3 and fed a high-cholesterol diet for 8 weeks to induce AS.Meanwhile, the rats in AS + SO2 group were intraperitoneally injected SO2 donor Na2SO3/NaHSO3 (0.54 mmol/kg,0.18 mmol/kg) every day.And the rats in control group and AS group were given the same dose of saline.After 8 weeks, the changes in atherosclerosis plaque size in the aortic root were observed by way of oil red O staining.Angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the aortic homogenate were detected by using radioactive immunoassay.Results Compared with the control group, the atherosclerosis plaque size was markedly increased in AS group, while SO2 treatment significantly decreased the atherosclerosis plaque size in AS rats.Meanwhile,the content of Ang Ⅱ and ET-1 in the aortic homogenate from AS group were increased compared to those in the control group [(11.52 ±4.15) ng/g vs (5.46 ± 1.21) ng/g, (11.91 ± 4.93) ng/g vs (3.81 ± 1.21) ng/g,all P ＜0.01] ,while SO2 donor treatment markedly decreased the content of Ang Ⅱ and ET-1 in AS rats [(6.25 ± 2.85) ng/g, (8.35 ± 2.45) ng/g] (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions SO2 can play an important role in the regulation of vasoactive peptide Ang Ⅱ and ET-1 in AS rat aorta.This effect may be one of the mechanisms by which SO2 antagonize AS.
