Coats disease is a relatively rare and idiopathic disorder characterized by retinal telangiectasia and massive intra-retinal and (or) sub-retinal lipid accumulation, resulting in complications including retinal detachment and neovascular glaucoma. Previous reports have revealed that Coats disease can be associated with other disorders, especially some inherited diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Coats disease associated with other inherited disorders is generally called Coats-like retinopathy, which has some unique features that differs from the classic Coats disease, for example there is no sex and age preference, more bilateral cases, more severe cases and more genetic factors involved. Patients of Coats-like retinopathy with RP and FSHD may have mutations in Crumbs homologue gene 1 and D4Z4 genes.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the influences of the concentrations of sodium cholate, cholesterol and drug, preparation temperature, ultrasonic time and power on the particle size and encapsulation efficiency of Flos Magnoliae volatile oil nano-liposome through film-ultrasonic wave technique together with membrane filter method.

AIM:To evaluate the regulatory effect of microRNA-132 ( miR - 132 ) in human umbilical vein endothelial cell ( HUVEC) .
●METHODS: ln vitro cultured human umbilical vein endothelia cells in hypoxic environment for 6h, then maintained under normal oxygen condition for 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h. miR-132 and peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α ( PGC-1α) expression was detected by quantitative Real - time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells transfected miR-132 mimic and miR-132 inhibitor( anti-miR-132 ) were measured by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.
●RESULTS: miR - 132 and PGC - 1α expression was significantly ( P < 0. 01 ) upregulated in the hypoxic environment of cells at 3h compared with the normal oxygen condition. After cells transfection, the hypoxic environment the miR-132 and PGC-1α expression were markedly increased compared with the normal oxygen condition. The cells transfected miR- 132- mimic, the expression of the miR-132 and PGC-1α were higher than that of transfected anti-miR-132 and contrast group ( P<0. 01).
●CONCLUSION:miR-132 level is highly expressed in the HUVEC under hypoxia and may be an effect of regulation for PGC-1α.
