简介:目的探讨重组内皮抑素(Endostatin)对兔角膜新生血管(cornealneovascularization,CNV)形成的影响.方法新西兰白兔18只,随机分为三组,每组6只12眼,采用角膜缝线法制备兔CNV模型,其中两组分别以浓度为10μg/ml、50μg/ml重组内皮抑素点眼,4次/d,连续19d,并以生理盐水点眼作对照.CNV生长面积采用计算机图像分析系统进行分析比较.结果10μg/ml、50μg/ml重组内皮抑素实验组自第7d开始CNV平均生长面积明显低于对照组(P<0.05),两实验组CNV面积比较,差异无显著意义(P>0.05).角膜组织病理学检查,实验组新生血管明显稀少,实验组与对照组炎性细胞成分及浸润程度相似.结论浓度10μg/ml、50μg/mlml重组内皮抑素具有明显抑制角膜新生血管生长的作用,而无毒副作用,为临床防治CNV提供了一种新的途径.

简介:目的:研究高氧诱导的视网膜新生血管模型鼠中转录因子Islet-1的表达差异。方法:采用高氧诱导的方法制作鼠视网膜新生血管模型,运用荧光造影视网膜铺片及视网膜切片苏木精-伊红染色观察视网膜新生血管的形态。于小鼠出生后第7,12,14,17,26d取视网膜组织,采用Real-timePCR及Westernblot技术测定视网膜组织中Islet-1的表达水平。结果:模型组视网膜铺片及组织切片可见大量视网膜新生血管形成。小鼠出生后第7d,模型组与正常组视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平无明显差异;小鼠出生后第12~14d,模型组视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平明显上调;出生后17d,模型组视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平仍高于正常组;出生后26d,随着视网膜新生血管消退,视网膜组织中Islet-1表达水平降至正常水平。结论:模型鼠视网膜新生血管发生过程中,持续缺氧的视网膜组织通过增加转录因子Islet-1的表达,从而诱导视网膜新生血管的发生。
简介:目的:通过测定糖尿病性白内障患者血清中糖代谢指标、胰岛素抵抗与房水和血清中炎症因子的水平,探讨其相关性。方法:随机选取我院2017-02/2018-01糖尿病性白内障患者69例(观察组)和白内障患者65例(对照组),检测两组患者血清中糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、空腹血糖(FPG)、空腹胰岛素(FINS)的水平,计算胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR);同时检测房水和血清中的胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)含量,对HbA1c、HOMA-IR与房水和血清中IGF-1、IL-6含量进行相关性分析。结果:对照组血清中的FPG、HbA1c、HOMA-IR,以及房水和血清中IGF-1、IL-6含量显著低于观察组,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。HbA1c与房水及血清中的IGF-1和IL-6均呈正相关(P<0.05)。HOMA-IR与房水及血清中的IGF-1和IL-6均呈正相关(P<0.05)。结论:糖尿病性白内障患者HbA1c、HOMA-IR与房水及血清中的IGF-1、IL-6含量具有相关性,通过对上述指标的测定可以辅助判断病情。
