RESUMEN
Objective:To study the ability of the Retinal Health Assessment (RHA) system to obtain fundus images in patients with different types and degrees of cataracts.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.Forty-five eyes of 41 patients with cataract were enrolled in First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University from December 2016 to January 2017.Lens opacity grading and RHA fundus imaging were performed after pupil dilation.Forty-five eyes were divided into 4 groups according to the degree of lens opacity: cortical cataract group 18 eyes, nucleus cataract group 21 eyes, posterior subcapsular cataract group 2 eyes, hybrid cataract group 4 eyes.Fundus images were obtained by FullSpectrum mode of RHA2020, and the clearness of fundus images was evaluated.Scores of fundus images clarity were compared between the cortical cataract group and nucleus cataract group.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of First People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results:In all 45 eyes, the phacoscotasmus classification ranged from mildest (C0N2P0, 1 eye) to very serious (C2N5P2 and C4N2P4, 2 eyes). The grade Ⅳ nuclear opacity, grade Ⅲ cortical opacity, and grade Ⅲ posterior subcapsular opacity reduced the quality of RHA images significantly, especially for images with red and green light.In cortical cataract group, images showed peripapillary vessels and retinal vessels at 580 nm and 590 nm, while retinal and choroidal vessels, as well as choroidal pigmentation, were visible at 810 nm.The clarity scores at 580, 590 and 810 nm were 2.0 (1.0, 3.0), 2.0 (2.0, 3.0) and 2.0 (2.0, 3.0), which were lower than that with red and green light (620 nm + 550 nm) (3.0[2.0, 3.0]), with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In nucleus cataract group, the quality of fundus images from the eyes with grade Ⅲ nucleus cataracts was good, the image quality decreased when the nucleus opacity was grade Ⅳ, retinal vessels were occasionally observed at 580 nm and 590 nm.Additionally, retinal and choroidal vessels and choroidal pigment were visible at 810 nm and 850 nm.The clarity scores at 580, 590, 810 and 850 nm were 1.0 (1.0, 3.0), 2.0 (1.0, 3.0) and 2.0 (1.0, 3.0), which were lower than that with red and green light (620 nm + 550 nm) (3.0[1.5, 3.0]), with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In posterior subcapsular cataract group, the retinal vessels were visible at 580 nm, meanwhile retinal and choroidal vessels and choroidal pigment could be observed at 810 nm and 850 nm.In hybrid cataract group, running lines of retinal vessels could be seen at 850 nm, while the central reflection was absent.Focal choroidal vessels were observed. Conclusions:Except for severe cases, RHA system can produce good quality fundus images in cataract eyes at 580, 590, 810 and 850 nm, facilitating the evaluation of fundus disease before surgery and prediction of visual outcomes after surgery.
RESUMEN
To explore the effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on ovarian damage induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX) and its mechanism. Methods: ADMSCs isolated from adipose tissue of female SD rats were cultured and divided into a blank group and a CTX group (n=15 in each group). CTX (75 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to establish a model of ovarian damage in rats. A total of 45 female SD rats were also divided into 3 groups: Group A (15 rats, only injected intraperitoneally with 75 mg/kg CTX diluted with 1 mL 0.9% saline), Group B [15 rats, injected intraperitoneally with 75 mg/kg CTX diluted with 1 mL 0.9% saline, after 4 estrus cycles, injected 0.6 mL ADMSCs (6×105 cells) by the tail vein], and Group C [15 rats, injected intraperitoneally with 75 mg/kg CTX diluted with 1 mL 0.9% saline, after 4 estrus cycles, injected 40 mL ADMSCs (20 mL per side, 2×104 cells) in situ ovarian]. After 4 estrus cycles, the changes of quality of life, ponderal growth were recorded, the sex hormone levels [estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)] were tested by ELISA, and the morphology of ovarian tissue and follicle count were observed by HE staining. The expression of BMP-15, Bcl-2 and Bax in ovarian tissues were tested by immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR or Western blotting. The apoptosis rate of follicular cells was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Results: After transplantation of ADMSCs, compared with the Group A, their quality of life of rats in the Group B and C was improved, and the ponderal growth was increased (both P0.05). Conclusion: ADMSCs transplantation can effectively repair ovarian damage induced by CTX in rats, which may be achieved by inhibiting mitochondrial apoptosis of granulosa cells.

DNA methylation is a significant epigenetic modification mode, which plays an important role in embryo reprogramming, stem cell differentiation and tumor occurrence. The ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzyme is a crucial demethylation enzyme, which can catalyze 5-methylcytosine(5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine(5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine(5caC). These bases represent the epigenetic modifications of DNA and regulate the process of DNA methylation. Understanding the role of TET enzyme in regulating the DNA methylation modification and gene expression can help us to gain the knowledge for the normal growth development and epigenetic regulation in human diseases.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the alterations in histone modifications in woman with endometriosis. METHODS: Global histone H3/H4 acetylation and H3K4/H3K9 methylation in eutopic and ectopic endometrium from 15 endometriosis patients were assayed using the EpiQuik global histone H3/H4 acetylation and H3K4/H3K9 methylation assay kits. Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was applied to measure mRNA levels of 12 members of histone-related chromatin modifier genes. RESULTS: Histone H4 hypoacetylation was detected both in eutopic and ectopic endometrium. There were no difference between patients with endometriosis and controls on global levels of H3 acetylation. Furthermore, global histone H3K4 hypomethylation and H3K9 hypomethylation were detected both in ectopic and eutopic endometrium (p < 0.001), and in ectopic endometrium (p < 0.001), respectively. SIRT1 mRNA level was significantly decreased in eutopic endometrium, while mRNA levels of HDAC1, SUV39H1, SUV39H2 and G9a were significantly downregulated in ectopic endometrium. HDAC2 mRNA level was significantly increased in eutopic endometrium. PCAF mRNA level was significantly increased in ectopic endometrium. CONCLUSIONS: Aberrant histone modification may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of letrozole, the third-generation aromatase inhibitor, on endometriotic lesions in a rat model and its effect on the apoptosis of ectopic endometrial cells.@*METHODS@#Endometriosis was induced by autotransplanting pieces of uterus onto the peritoneum in rats. The rats with successful ectopic implants were divided into 2 groups: A letrozole group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The volume, appearance, and histopathology of ectopic implant were determined before and after the treatment. Expression of P450arom, COX-2, bcl-2, and bax in the ectopic implant was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR in the 2 groups.@*RESULTS@#The volume of ectopic implant in the letrozole group was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0.05). The protein and mRNA levels of P450arom and COX-2 in the ectopic implant were significantly decreased in the letrozole group compared with the control group (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the expression of P450arom and the expression of COX-2 (r=0.943, P<0.001; r=0.913, P<0.001). The protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the bax protein and mRNA expression was significantly increased (P<0.05) in the ectopic implant with an increased bax/bcl-2 ratio in the letrozole group compared with the control group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Letrozole can obviously reduce the size of ectopic implant through decreasing P450arom and COX-2 expression, suppressing the secretion of estrogen, inhibiting the proliferation, and inducing the apoptosis of ectopic implants.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To sum up the diagnosis and surgical treatment of oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of OVSS patients from January 2005 to June 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups: a re-operation group (n=11)and a first-operation group (n=17).The general clinical data, surgery Methods and outcome between 2 groups were compared.@*RESULTS@#The number of patients with pelvic mass on first attendance in the re-operation group was significantly more than those in the first-operation group(χ(2)=8.134,P=0.004). Only 1 patient was diagnosed during the first operation in the re-operation group. All the patients were diagnosed with OVSS in the first-operation group. Except for 1 case of hysterectomy in the post-cavity of the septum in each group, the basic operation was oblique vaginal septum resection. All the patients were followed up. Symptoms as the pelvic mass, irregular vaginal bleeding, and vaginal flow of purulence completely disappeared, and dysmenorrhea symptoms completely disappeared or apparently improved.@*CONCLUSION@#The diversity of clinical manifestations of OVSS increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment. In younger patients with pelvic mass,primary dysmenorrheal, and one side renal agenesis, OVSS should be highly suspected. The basic treatment for OVSS is septum resection and drainage, and the correct pre-operative diagnosis is critical. If necessary, combination of hysteroscopy with laparoscopy will be helpful.

RESUMEN
Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetic(PK) profile and relative bioavailability of two sustained release tablets containing 10 mg mizolastine in healthy, young Chinese volunteers. Methods A single oral dose of mizolastine was given under fasting conditions to volunteers aged from 21 to 24 years in this open-label, randomized, crossover study. A ten-day washout period was applied between each of the two formulations. Plasma samples were obtained before dosing and at predetermined time points after dosing up to 48 hours and were analyzed for plasma concentration with a high-performance-liquid chromatography-UV method. PK parameters representing the extent and the rate of absorption of mizolastine were obtained. An analysis of variance, 90% confidence intervals, and two one-sided tests were employed for statistical analysis of relative difference between the two formulations. Results According to the pharmacokinetic and statistical analysis, parameters were not statistically different between the two formulations except the peak concentration (cmax). The point estimates of the ratios of AUC0→t, AUC0→∞ of mizolastine were (101.26 + 9.82) % and (102.52 + 8.61)% with 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of 95. 5% - 106. 5% and 97. 7% -106.9% respectively, comprised in the stipulated 80% - 125% range; for cmax values, the ratios was 82.17% - 15.32% with the 90% CIs of 71. 7% - 91.1%, fell in the recommended range of 70% -143%. Conclusions The results indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in PK parameters except cmax between the two sustained release tablets of mizolastine. The 90% CIs of AUC0→t,AUC0→∞ and cmax are within the predefined range. Thus, the two sustained release tablets of mizolastine are considered bioequivalent and generally well tolerated.
