Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of scleral buckling procedure on old retinal detachment. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients (46 eyes), including 24 males (27 eyes) and 18 females (19 eyes), with old retinal detachment treated by scleral buckling procedure in our department were retrospectively reviewed. The duration of the disease ranged from 1 month to 2 years. All the patients were with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and combined with mainly predominantly-subretinal proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) (stage C), including stage C1 of PVR in 16 eyes (34.8%), stage C2 in 19 eyes (41.3%), and stage C3 in 11 eyes (23.9%). Scleral buckling was performed on 13 eyes (283%) and cerclage combined buckling on 33 eyes (71.7%). Sterile air was injected into 36 eyes (78.3%) during the operation, and C3F8 was introvitreal injected into 7 eyes (15.2%) after the operation. Results The follow-up duration was from 6 months to 1 year (mean 7.3 months). Retina was completely reattached in 31 eyes (67.4%), and was alleviated obviously in 12 eyes (26.1%). The subretinal fluid increased after the operation with un-reattached retina and vitrectomy was performed in 2 eyes. One eye underwent vitrectomy due to the development of PVR. After the first operation, the curative ratio of retinal detachment was 67.4%, and effective ratio (cure and alleviation) was 93.5%. The visual acuity improved in 28 eyes (60.9%), kept no change in 11 eyes (23.9%), and decreased in 7 eyes (15.2%). Conclusion Reattachment of retina and improvement of visual acuity can be achieved in some degree in some patients with old retinal detachment who undergo simple scleral buckling procedure without vitrectomy.

Objective To explore the clinical significance and the impact on prognosis of blood micrometastasis in the patients with pN0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol and mRNA was transcribed reversely into cDNA. RT-PCR was used to detect MMP-7 mRNA and hTERT mRNA in blood. △△Ct sample values were calculated with post-operative follow-up of 3 month, 6 month, 12 month. Results Statistical results suggested that blood micrometastasis was related to differentiation grade and pTNM staging (P=0.000, P=0.000 respectively), but not to age, sex, length of turnout (P0.05). Follow-up results suggested that the degree of invasion and tumor metastasis (recurrence) was no correlation; follow-up to 6 month and 12 month, tumor metastasis (recurrence) was associated with blood micrometastasis, and follow-up to 12 month, compared with the tumor metastasis (recurrence) probability of blood micrometastasis-positive patients and negative patients, the former was as 6.44 times as the latter. (OR=6.440, 95 % CI 1.547-26.822). Conclusion Blood micrometastasis testing is of great significance to early diagnosis and prognosis judgment in pN0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) for macular hole (MH) and macular retinoschisis in high myopic eyes,and to analyze factors affecting the MH closure rate.Methods This is a retrospective case study.21 high myopic patients (22 eyes) with MH and macular retinoschisis were enrolled in this study.All eyes were examined for best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,slit lamp microscope,indirect ophthalmoscope,A and/or B-scan ultrasound,optical coherence tomography and visual electrophysiological examination.The BCVA was ranged from finger counting to 0.2.The axial length (AL) was ranged from 26.00 to 31.00 mm,with an average of 27.47 mm.Among 22 eyes,AL was between 26.00 mm to 27.00 mm in 9 eyes,27.10 mm to 28.00 mm in 5 eyes,28.10 mm to 29.00 mm in 3 eyes,29.10 mm to 30.00 mm in 3 eyes,and longer than 30.00 mm in 2 eyes.The diameter of MH was ranged from 227 μm to 597 μm and with an average of 432 μm.Among them,the minimum diameter was between 200 μm to 400 μm in 4 eyes,401 μm to 450 μm in 13 eyes,451 μm to 500 μm in 3 eyes,501 μm to 600 μm in 2 eyes.All the eyes were treated with PPV combined with ILMP surgery.The average follow-up time was 17 months after surgery.The efficacy was determined at the final follow up,including the MH closure,the state of macular retinoschisis and the BCVA.MH closure rate with different MH diameters and different AL were compared and analyzed.Results During the final followup,MH were fully closed in 17 eyes (77.3％),bridge-closed in 4 eyes (18.2％) and not closed in 1 eye (4.5％).Retinoschisis was resolved in 19 eyes (86.4％),partially resolved in 2 eyes (9.1％) and not changed in 1 eye (4.4％).MH with smaller diameter had higher MH closure rate (x2=12.036,P=0.032).MH with longer AL had lower MH closure rate (x2=16.095,P=0.003).The final BCVA was ranged from finger counting to 0.25.Among 22 eyes,BCVA or metamorphopsia were improved in 9 eyes (40.9％),stable in 8 eyes (36.4％).BCVA was reduced and metamorphopsia was more severe in 5 eyes (22.7％).Conclusions PPV combined with ILMP is a safe and effective surgical treatment for MH (with minimum diameter ≤600 μm) and macular retinoschisis in high myopic eyes.After surgery,MH was closed and retinoschisis was resolved in most patients.The major factors affect the MH closure were the minimum diameter of MH and AL.

Objective To explore the adaptive modulation of brain in structure and function when moving to high altitude areas based on voxel-based morphometry (VBM),amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF)and regional homogeneity (ReHo) method.Methods Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)of brain was respectively performed in 1 9 normal adults who moved to high altitude areas within a week,and they have matched age and education level.The subj ects were performed the same scanning after one year.The VBM,ALFF and ReHo methods were adopted to analyze the functional MRI data.Results There were no significant differences in brain structure between the two groups.There were significant differences in brain function in resting state.Subj ects staying in high altitude areas for one year had increased ALFF in left middle frontal gyrus,decreased ALFF in right lingual gyrus(P<0.01),increased ReHo in the left orbital frontal gyrus,and decreased ReHo in right cuneus and right superior parietal gyrus(P<0.05).Conclusion There are significant changes in brain function of normal adult after stayed in high altitude for one year,which might be associated with long-term chronic hypoxia.

AIM:To study the correlation of serum uric acid ( UA) level with carotid plaques and arterial stiff-ness in the patients with essential hypertension ( EH) , and to explore the predictive value of serum UA for evaluating EH preclinically .METHODS:A total of 92 patients with EH and 30 healthy individuals were enrolled .The value of UA and other indicators were detected .B-mode ultrasound examination was performed to measure the common carotid artery intima -media thickness ( IMT) and the sites of plaque in the internal carotid-artery, external carotid artery and carotid bifurca-tions.Carotid-femoral arterial pulse wave velocity ( CFPWV) was assessed by Complior?atherosclerosis measurement in-strument.RESULTS:The serum level of UA in the patients with EH was higher than that in control group [(361.51 ± 83.81) μmol/L vs (317.03 ±62.22) μmol/L, P<0.05].The mean value and abnormal rate of IMT between hyperten-sion group and control group were significant difference [(0.69 ±0.14) mm vs (0.60 ±0.12) mm, 42.39%vs 10.00%, P<0.05].In 92 EH patients, 45 cases had carotid plaques .These 45 cases were divided into 3 groups according to the plaque severity, among which the serum UA level had statistically significant differences [(285.25 ±78.41) μmol/L, (341.19 ±63.99) μmol/L and (401.33 ±88.49) μmol/L, P<0.05].Compared with rigid plaque group ( n=34), the serum UA level in soft plaque group (n=11) was significantly higher [(389.00 ±69.45) μmol/L vs (323.03 ± 72.71) μmol/L, P<0.05].A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that age ( r=0.414), systolic blood pressure (r=0.224), pulse pressure (r=0.270) and uric acid (r=0.219) were predisposed factors for higher CFP-WV (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:UA is one of the risk factors causing hypertension .Serum UA level may reflect the sever-ity and stability of carotid plaques .The increased arterial stiffness is closely related to the increased serum UA level in EH .

Objective To explore the association between the students’emotional quotient (EQ),personality trait and interpersonal trust, and to clarify the potential function of interpersonal trust of higher students. Methods Interpersonal Trust Scale, Emotional Quotient Table and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) were used to investigate 364 students from Guangxi University and Guangxi Teachers Education University.SPSS 18.0 software was used for one-way ANOVA variance analysis,Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and stepwise Multiple Linear regression analysis.Results The differences in interpersonal trust,EQ and personality trait of EPQ had statistical significance between males and females,and the males’scores were higher than those of females (P <0.05,P < 0.01);the differencs in Lie of EPQ between nations had statistical significance and the scores of Dong, Hui and Tujia ethnic minority were higher than those of other nationalities (P < 0.01 ); the difference in personality trait of EPQ between educational background had statistical significances, and the undergraduates’scores were higher than those of master students (P <0.05).EQ was positively correlated with EPQ-E and EPQ-L (r=0.274,P <0.01;r =0.145,P <0.01),and was negatively correlated with EPQ-N and EPQ-P (r=-0.422,P <0.01;r = -0.202,P <0.01);interpersonal trust was negatively correlated with EQ and EPQ-E (r=-0.273,P <0.01;r=-0.169,P <0.01);special trust was negatively correlated with EQ and EPQ-E (r=-0.252,P <0.01;r = - 0.151,P < 0.01);interpersonal trust and general trust were negatively correlated with EPQ-P (r =0.313,P <0.01;r =0.338,P <0.01),and they were positively correlated with EPQ-L (r=-0.201,P <0.01;r = -0.217,P <0.01).Conclusion The students’EQ,personality trait are related to interpersonal trust of the students in Guangxi universities,and they have important prediction effects. Improving students’ EQ and interpersonal trust plays a positive role, whereas, the possible negative effects accompanying should never be neglected.

Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture in preventing delayed cerebral vasospasm (DCVS).Method Sixteen healthy Japanese big ear rabbits were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 8 in each group. The treatment group was developed into models by intramuscular anesthesia on the 6th day after 5 days’ 20-min daily intervention of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation during a specific time period; the control group was developed into models by the same way on the 6th day but without electrical stimulation. The diameter of basilar artery was measured by using CTA prior to the electrical stimulation and after modeling in both groups, the plasma levels of ET-1, CGRP, and IL-6 were detected, and behavioral changes 1 d, 3 d, and 5 d after modeling were observed.Result After modeling, there was a significant difference in comparing the basilar artery diameter between the two groups (P<0.05). The plasma levels of ET-1, CGRP, and IL-6 in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the neural function scores 3 d and 5 d after modeling were markedly different from that 1 d after modeling (P<0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the neural function scores 3 d and 5 d after modeling between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Pre-intervention with electroacupuncture prevents and improves DCVS possibly via modulating the levels of ET-1, CGRP, and IL-6, and subsequently involving in anti-inflammation, immune inhibition, and vasodilation.
