Abstract:Objective
To analyze the influence of dexamethasone in the hypotonic-induced volume-sensitive chloride currents in human trabecular meshwork cells,and to investigate the possible mechanism of volume-sensitive chloride channels(VACC) in the glucocorticoid-induced glaucoma(GIG) cases.Methods The human trabecular meshwork cells were seeded in 35 mm diameter plastic petri dishes,so that they could grow in monolayer.The cultured cells were divided into  normal cell culture medium group and dexamethasone 1 d,3 d,7 d groups.The  chlorine current density values of the cells in four groups were recorded respectively by the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.The differences among groups were compared.Results In normal group,after hypotonic stimulation,under +100 and -100 mV voltage clamp,the outward and inward current density values of the trabecular cells were (19.94±0.87) and (-6.53±0.41) pA/pF.In dexamethasone 1 d,3 d, and 7 d groups,under  the same condition,the outward and inward current density values of the trabecular cells were  (19.39±1.40) and (-6.42±0.28) pA/pF,(17.97±2.35) and (-5.82±0.94) pA/pF,(17.16±1.16) and (-5.65±0.43) pA/pF.The trabecular cells cultured with dexamethasone for 1 d  had lower outward and inward current density values under hypotonic stimulation compared with normal group,but there was no significant difference (P>0.05).The trabecular cells cultured with dexamethasone for 3 d and 7 d,when compared with normal group,had significantly lower outward and inward current density values under hypotonic stimulation (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexamethasone could reduce the volume-sensitive chloride current in trabecular meshwork cells,which would affect trabecular meshwork cell volume adjustment.This would possibly cause the increase of the aqueous humor outflow resistance among GIG cases.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of somatostatin on the electrophysiological changes of early diabetic rats,and to clarify its therapeutic effects on retinopathy in early diabetic rats. Methods 20 Wistar male rats,which were induced into diabetic rat models by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ),were randomly divided into somatostatin therapy group and model control group,10 in each group. The rats in somatostatin therapy group were injected with somatostatin 10 μg/kg/d,for 8 weeks;the rats in model control group received the same volume of saline. Another 10 male Wistar rats were used as normal control group. The changes of blood glucose and electroretinogram were measured,and the indicators were used for statistical analysis. Results Compared with model control group,the blood glucose was declined in somatostatin therapy group at the 8th week (P<0.05). Compared with normal control group,the latent periods of a-wave,b-wave of rod-response and max-response were significantly extended in somatostatin therapy group and model control group at the 1st,2nd,4th,6th,and 8th week (P<0.05). The latent periods of a-wave,b-wave of rod-response and max-response in somatostatin therapy group were shorter than those in model control group at the 8th week (P<0.05). Compared with model control group,the amplitude had no changes at each observation time point in somatostatin therapy group (P>0.05). Conclusion Somatostatin has a therapeutic effect on early diabetic retinopathy in rats.

Abstract ( 425 )   PDF (1103KB) ( 190 )  

Objective To determine  the biomechanical parameters of left ventricular by using  velocity vector imaging(VVI),and  to indirectly assess the  coron
ary artery stenosis  with  VVI in the patients with  coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods 52 patients  who had one coronary artery lesions at least diagnosed
by coronary angiography (CAG)  were divided into coronary artery mild stenosis group and severe stenosis group;21 patients in mild stenosis group had one coronary stenosis <75%;31 patients in  severe stenosis group had one coronary artery stenosis ≥ 75% at least.At the same time,20 cases of normal people without coronary artery stenosis showed by CAG were selected as normal control group.VVI  was used to  detect  the  left ventricular wal
l segments of the overall longitudinal strain (GLS),the overall circumferential strain (GCS) and the overall radial strain (GRS).Results
The absolute values of GLS,GRS,GCS of the patients in  mild and severe coronary artery stenosis groups were significantly decreased  than those in  normal control group(P<0.05),and the strain parameters in severe stenosis group were  decreased more significantly,there  were
significant differences compared  mild stenosis group  (P<0.05).The  distribution of the segments with decreased longitudinal strain  matched  t
he LV myocardial segment with the coronary stenosis rate ≥ 75%,and GLS had  the most sensitivity.TheGLS   in normal control group,mild stenosis group and severe stenosis group were negatively correlated to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r=-0.58,P<0.05;r=-0.51,P<0.05;r=-0.43,
P<0.05).GLS-16.14 %  was used to  assess  the  severe coronary artery stenosis with requiring  the implementation of PTCA treatment  as the diagnostic cut-off point with  sensitivity 96.8%,specificity of 70%,the highest Yuedden index  0.668. Conclusion The decreasing of left ventricular strain could be detected by VVI,which  suggests that   severe coronary artery stenosis exists in coronary artery;the distribution of the segments with significantly decreased strains
    can be used to assess the  coronary lesions and stenosis degrees.
