Objective: To investigate the effect of adiponectin levels with its related mechanism in diabetic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and ischemia post-conditioning in experimental rats. Methods: A total of 80 male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: Normal sham (NS) group,n=8, Normal ischemia-reperfusion injury (NIRI) group,n=16, Normal ischemia post-conditioning (NIPO) group,n=16 and Diabetic mellitus sham (DMS) group,n=8, Diabetic mellitus ischemia-reperfusion injury (DMIRI) group,n=16, Diabetic mellitus ischemic post-conditioning (DMIPO) group,n=16. DM rats model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin; IR model was established by occlusion of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120min; IPO model was established by 3 cycles of ischemia for 10s and reperfusion for10s; the rats in Sham group received silk line wrapping of LAD without occlusion. The myocardial infarction (MI) area was measured by TTC staining, plasma adiponectin level was examined by ELISA, the protein expressions of p-Akt and total-Akt were detected by Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with NIRI group, NIPO group had decreased MI area,P<0.05, while DMIRI group and DMIPO group had increased MI area,P<0.01; compared with NS group, NIRI group and NIPO group showed up-regulated expression of adiponectin and p-Akt,P<0.05 and DMS group showed down-regulated p-Akt,P<0.05. Compared with NIPO group, three DM groups presented down-regulated adiponectin and p-Akt,P<0.05. Linear correlation analysis indicated that plasma adiponectin expression level was negatively related to MI area and positively related to myocardial tissue p-Akt expression with the correlation coefifcient at 0.63 and 0.65 respectively, P<0.01. Conclusion: Down-regulated plasma adiponectin expression may cause the inactivation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway and therefore aggravate DM ischemia-reperfusion injury which cannot be protected by ischemic post-conditioning in experimental rats.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the mechanism of myopia following intravitreous injection of MK801 (dizocipine maleate) intravitreous injected.
METHODS:
Three-week-old guinea pigs were divided into six groups: group A (control), group B (3 weeks form-deprivation in right eye), group C ( 3 weeks form-deprivation in right eye + saline), group D (3 weeks form-deprivation in right eye + MK801 1ng), group E (3 weeks form-deprivation in right eye + MK801 10 ng), group F (3 weeks form-deprivation in right eye + MK801 100 ng). The refraction and axial length of the eyes were measured. ncNOS was measured by hybridization in situ, and cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentrations by radioimmunochemistry. The correlation between MK801 concentration and diopter degree, axial length of the eyes, and levels of ncNOS or cyclic GMP were analyzed with linear correlation in the groups C-F.
RESULTS:
Diopter degree was decreased, axial eye length was shorted and levels of ncNOS and c-GMP were decreased in groups C, D, E and F dependent on the concentration of MK801. The diopter degree had positive correlation with MK801 concentration (r=0.702, P<0.05), while the axial eye length and the levels of ncNOS and cGMP were negatively correlated (r=-0.736, -0.637, -0.725, P<0.05)
CONCLUSION
MK801 injected into the vitreous humor can restrain myopia by down-regulated the expression of the nitric oxide-cyclic GMP signaling pathway. The effect is concentration dependent.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the expression of cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP) and the ultrastructure change in retina of guinea pig with form-deprivation myopia and the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS:
Three-weeks-old guinea pigs were distributed in 3 groups: an untreated group (Group I), a myopia 2-weeks group (Group II) and a myopia 3-weeks group (Group III), animals underwent monocular form-deprivation by facemask for 2 and 3 weeks. The right eyes were deprived and the left eyes were self-controlled. The refraction and axial length of the eyes was measured. Retina was observed by electron microscope. The expression of cGMP was detected by radioimmunochemistry.
RESULTS:
Deprived eyes in guinea pig showed significant development of myopia, the refraction and axial length was increased. The pathological changes in ultrastructure of retina were aggravated with the development of myopia. The expression of cGMP was significantly up-regulated in the deprived eyes compared with self-control eyes(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Form-deprivation can up-regulate the expression of cyclic GMP, which might play an important role in the development of myopia.

Although there is insufficient evidence supporting the link between septate uterus and infertility, there are many studies demonstrated the effect of spetal incision on pregnancy in women diagnosed with septate uterus associated with infertility. Hysteroscopic metroplasty can significantly improve the reproductive performance of those with septate uterus. Some Müllerian malformations can be healed by surgery. The accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic approch are fundamental for successful treatment. Any attempt at surgical correction of uterine abnormalities must be aimed at preserving or improving reproductive function. Among congenital uterine anomalies, septate uterus is the most amenable to simple hysteroscopic treatment. The resection of the septum is performed as standard treatment worldwide.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare the results of the three methods of Suresight handheld autorefractor, table-mounted autorefractor and retinoscopy in examination of juveniles patients with or without cycloplegia.
METHODS:
Firstly, 156 eyes of 78 juveniles (5 to 17 years old) were examined by using WelchAllyn Suresight handheld autorefractor and NIDEK ARK-510A table-mounted autorefractor with or without cycloplegia; secondly, retinoscopy was performed with cycloplegia.
RESULTS:
The spherical power measured by methods without cycloplegia were significantly greater than those measured with cycloplegia (P<0.05); without cycloplegia, there was no significant difference in spherical power, cylindrical power and cylindrical axis between Suresight handheld autorefractor and retinoscopy (P>0.05). These results were highly consistent, suggesting a tendency towards a short sight. However, the spherical power and cylindrical power measured by table-mounted autorefractor was significantly different (P<0.05); with cycloplegia, there was significant difference in spherical power between Suresight handheld autorefractor and retinoscopy (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Cycloplegic retinoscopy is necessary for juvenile refraction examination. Under natural pupil situation, Suresight handheld autorefractor is better than table-mounted autorefractor, though both show a myopia tendency. Nevertheless, table-mounted autorefractor can be taken as a recommendation for the prescription of lens trial. As a strong reference for subjective optometry, retinoscopy should be the gold standard for measuring refractive errors.
