甲巯咪唑诱导新生大鼠视网膜新生血管

目的 了解甲巯咪唑（MMI）对新生大鼠视网膜血管发育的影响，探讨血清胰岛素样生长因子-I(IGF-I)浓度与正常血管发育和异常血管形成的关系。 方法 实验组（MMI组）新生Sprague Dawley大鼠75只，孕鼠分娩后第1天即饮用含0.1%MMI的自来水。对照组50只新生鼠的母鼠饮用普通自来水。两组新生鼠又分别分为4 d和10 d两个亚组，每组取右眼进行视网膜铺片和二磷酸腺苷(ADP) 酶染色，左眼行石蜡切片后计数突破视网膜内界膜的细胞核数目，对视网膜血管进行评估；用放射免疫分析法进行血清IGF-I的测定。同时观察各组新生鼠体重的变化。 结果 10 d MMI组鼠新生血管发生率为27%,4 d组及对照组未见新生血管形成。4 d MMI组血清IGF-I水平(73.07ng/ml) 同4 d对照组（168.73 ng/ml）相比明显下降。10 d MMI组（175.13 ng/ml）也明显低于10 d对照组(306.38 ng/ml) （P=0.00）。MMI组新生鼠同对照组相比，可见明显的生长发育迟缓。 结论 MMI可抑制正常的视网膜血管发育，引起新生血管，可能与最初血清IGF-I水平的下降有关。血清IGF-I水平的时程变化同未成熟视网膜新生血管形成间的关系尚需进一步研究。(中华眼底病杂志，2007，23：198-201)

Retinal neovascularization in neonatal rats induced by methimazole

Objective To determine the effect of methimazole (MMI) on retinal vascular development in neonatal rats, and to investigate the relationship between the concentration of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in serum and the development of normal blood vessels and between the concentration of IGF-I and the formation of abnormal blood vessels. Methods There were 75 neonatal Sprague Dawley rats in experimental group whose mothers were raised with water with 0.1% MMI at the first day of parturition. Another 50 neonatal rats were in the control group whose mothers were raised with normal water. The rats in the two groups were sub-divided into 4 day and 10 day subgroup, respectively. The retinal flatmount of the right eyes were stained with adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase); with the paraffin section of the left eyes, the number of nucleolus breaking through retinal inner limiting membrane was counted and the retinal blood vessels were evaluated. Serum IGF-I levels were detected by radioimmunoassay, and the weight of the neonatal rats in each group were observed and recorded. Results The incidence of retinal neovascularization in 10 day MMI group was 27%, and 0% in 4-day MMI group and control group. The serum IGF-I level in 4-day and 10- day MMI group (73.07 ng/ml, 175.13 ng/ml) was obviously lower than which in the 4-day and 10-day control group (168.73 ng/ml,306.38 ng/ml) （P=0.00）. Obvious slow growth of the neonatal rats was found in MMI group compared with which in the control group. Conculsions MMI may inhibit the normal growth of retinal blood vessels and lead neovascularization, which may relate to the initial decrease of the serum IGF-I level. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2007, 23: 198-201)
