Expression differences and clinical significance of miR-29b,miR-24 and miR-200c in plasma of infants with PCG and normal / 眼科新进展

Objective To identify the expression differences of mircoRNA-29 b (miR-29b),microRNA? 24 (miR-24) and microRNA-200 c (miR-200c) in plasma of infants with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) and normal,and analyze its clinical significance.Methods The expression quantity of microRNAs (miR-29b,miR-24,miR-200c) in plasma of PCG group (16 cases) and normal control group (49 cases) were detected by RT-PCR,and the relationship between their expression differences and severity of disease were analyzed.The diagnostic value of miRNAs for PCG was evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results The expression quantity of miR-29b,miR-24,miR-200c in PCG group (0.31 ±0.19,0.17 ±0.16,0.55 ±0.18,respectively) were significantly lower than those in normal control group (1.18-±0.52,2.86 ±2.65,1.62 ± 0.76,respectively) (all P ＜ 0.05);The expression quantity of miR-24 and miR-29b in plasma was related to the severity of PCG,the more severe the disease,the lower the expression;ROC curve indicated that miR-24 and miR-29b had a higher diagnostic value for PCG disease than miR-200c.Conclusion Free miRNAs in plasma may be used as a new plasma markers for auxiliary diagnosis of PCG.

Clinical efficacy of bleomycinum A5 in treatment of infant hemangioma in eye / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of bleomycinum A5 on different type and site of eye hemangioma in infant. Methods 45 infant cases (23 females and 22 males) of hemangioma of eye were studied from the outpatient deparment of our hospital between 1996 and 2001. The powder of bleomycinum A5 was dissolved in 2 % procaine solution. The mixed liquid was injected uniformly into the mass of hemangioma of eye until it appeared offwhite.Results After the injection, the masses of hemangioma of eye swelled and atrophied subsequently, and the reaction disappeared within 7 days. The appearance of the local tissue turned from red to white. The hardness of it became soft several months after injection. 43 of 45 (95.5 %) patients healed after 2~5 times injection. Conclusions This method is proved effective to different type of hemangioma in infant eye, with minor damage, mild scar formation and good appearance. The side effect includes delay of development in the socket of orbit bone, local tissue necrosis and pigmentation of the skin.
