The growth hormone(GH)-insulin-like growth factor(IGF)-I axis is an important modulator of growth and development.In addition to the classical role as endocrine hormones,the components also regulate a wide range of biological functions through paracrine and autocrine mechanisms.Their potent mitogenic and anti-apoptotic effects play a critical role in the regulation of rapidly renewing epithelial cell populations such as those found in the colon.Recent epidemiological evidence from acromegaly patients suggests an association between inappropriate regulation of the GH-IGF-I axis and the development of colorectal cancer.However,the molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways responsible are only beginning to be unravelled,as are the relative contributions of the endocrine and autocrine or paracrine effects.

Heritable changes in gene expression are regarded as epigenetics,which do not involve coding sequence modifications.The study of ophthalmology epigenetics is a rapidly growing area in biomedical research.Epigenetic mechanisms principally include DNA methylation,histone modification,chromatin remodeling and noncoding RNA.Aberrant DNA methylation and histone modification are linked to a number of age-related disorders,such as cancer,autoimmune and others.In recent years,the modulations of epigenetic changes on the pathogenesis of eye disorders and their roles in therapeutic interventions are drawing more and more attention,and these studies deepen the understanding of relevant diseases.Since the epigenetic alterations are reversible,modifying epigenetic marks contributing to eye diseases provide a new approach to the development of disease prevention,diagnosis and therapies.Herein we discuss the roles of epigenetic changes in eye disease development,hoping that ophthalmologists and researchers pay attention to these researching cues in pathogenesis of eye disorders caused by genetic expression alterations in response to environmental changes,importantly,to the implication for relevant eye disease therapy and prevention.

Objective: To investigate the influence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including slight renal damages, on prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A retrospective study was performed in 732 patients who visited our Cardiology Department and Cardiothoracic Surgery Department in 2000-2004. All patients suspected of CAD underwent a selective coronary angiography. Five hundred and seventy-nine patients with established diagnosis of CAD were followed up and their cardiovascular events (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, recurrent myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, death, etc.) were recorded. Patients with CAD were divided into normal, slight, moderate, and severe groups according to the degree of renal function damages. The influences of different degrees of renal damages on the prognosis of CAD were compared. Results: There were obvious differences in the morbidities of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, recurrent myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, etc. in CAD patients with different degrees of renal function damages. The worse the renal function, the higher the incidences of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, recurrent myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke, etc (P<0.05). Conclusion: The severity of chronic renal insufficiency is positively correlated to the risks of CAD. The worse the renal function, the higher the incidence of cardiovascular events and the worse of CAD prognosis.

Objective:To study the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among elderly people and associated factors to it.Method:A sample of 1865 elderly people aged 60 or above living in Beijing metropolitan area was investigated by a two-stage survey.In the first stage, a door-to-door visit to the subjects was performed by a trained interviewer to conduct general questionnaire including activity daily living assessment, memory and cognitive test.On the second stage, neurologists examined all screened subjects to collect family history and to finish general and neurological examination as well as neuropsychological testing.MCI was diagnosed by the consensus of 2 neurologists.Result:Among the 1865 subjects visited, 217 (11.6%) were defined to have MCI.After adjusted for age and gender the standardized prevalence reaches 8%.Within the people with MCI 22.6% was classified as vascular MCI.The prevalence of MCI was higher in people living in rural area, in people with lower educational attainment, and in people who were labor workers.The prevalence increased with age advancing.Conclusion:Similar to dementia, people with advance aged, with low education and living in rural area are those at high risk of developing MCI.
