Objectives To investigate the clinical profile and prognosis of hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). Methods A retrospective study was carried out to analyze the clinical features and laboratory findings in 28 children with HPS. Fisher's exact probability method and Logistic multivariate regression were used to explore the prognostic risk factors.. Results HPS was clinically characterized by prolonged fever (100%), hepatomegaly (64.29%),and other minor features including respiratory symptoms (53.57%), splenomegaly (50%), hydrops of multiple serous cavity (42.86%), lymphadenectasis (32.14%), jaundice (17.85%), skin rash (14.29%), central nervous system involvement (14.29%), and alimentary tract hemorrhage (10.71%). Labo-ratory data showed that 1iver dysfunction, pancytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hy-pertriglyceridemia, decreased number of natural killer cells and hyponatremia were prominent. The etiological analysis indicated that infection associated hemophagocytic syndrome was most common (60.71%), in which EB virus associated HPS was pre-dominant, accounting for 64.71%. Significant difference was observed in the difference of albumin,blood urea nitrogen and acti-vated partial thromboplastin time between death and survival cases (P<0.05). The Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed that hypoalbuminemia was an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions There are various underlying diseases and clinical manifestations for HPS. The lower level of serum albumin is an independent prognostic factor. A prompt diagnosis and treatment is very important for HPS prognosis due to the rapid progression and high mortality.

Background Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the primary causes leading to visual damage in many fundus diseases.Many evidences indicate that macrophage activation and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) play important roles in CNV.However, the dynamic expression of macrophage and MCP-1 in the initial stage of CNV is not clear.Objective This study was to investigate the dynamic changes of F4/80 and MCP-1 expressions in retina-choroid tissue with experimental CNV.Methods Laser-induced CNV models were monocularly established in 105 SPF 8-week-old male wild type C57BL/6 mice.The mice were sacrificed at 6,12,24, 48 and 72 hours after photocoagulation, respectively, and the retina-choroid tissue sections and choroidal flatmounts were prepared.The histopathological examination was carried out to observe the changes of morphology and structure as well as inflammatory response in CNV.The expression and distribution of F4/80 and MCP-1 protein in retinachoroid were detected by double immunofluorescence technique.The expression and distribution of F4/80 in choroid were examined by immunofluorescence.The relative expression levels of F4/80 mRNA and the content of MCP-1 protein in RPE-choroid complex were assayed using real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA,respectively.The use and care of the mice complied with the Regulation for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by Ethic Committee of Experimental Animals of Nanjing Medical University.Results The rupture of Bruch membrane, RPE, outer nuclear layer and choroid was exhibited under the optical microscope 6 hours after photocoagulation.Infiltration of inflammatory cells and tissue edema were seen as the lapse of photocoagulation time, and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells was found 72 hours after photocoagulation.F4/80 was expressed in photocoagulation area 6 hours later, and MCP-1 was expressed around the area.With the lapse of photocoagulation time,the expression intensity of MCP-1 weakened and that of F4/80 enhanced.The contents of MCP-1 protein in RPE-choroid complex were (31.25±4.73), (276.31 ±4.20), (331.95 ±5.86), (221.24±4.42), (179.89 ± 4.10) and (130.80 ± 5.90) pg/mg in the normal control group, photocoagulation 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-and 72-hour groups, respectively,with a significant difference among the groups (F=1 416.46 ,P<0.01).The contents of MCP-1 protein peaked at 12 hours after photocoagulation and then gradually declined.The expression levels of MCP-1 protein in different time groups were higher than those in the normal control group (all at P<0.01).A significant difference in F4/80 mRNA expression in RPE-choroid complex was also found among the groups (F =762.72, P<0.01, and a gradually raising tendency was seen over time, showing evidently increase in comparison with the normal control group (all at P<0.01).Conclusions Inflammatory response occurs in the early stage of experimental CNV.MCP-1 responds to the CNV at early stage,and the accumulation and activation of macrophage play an important role in the development of CNV.

AIM: To study the relation of acute radiation-induced oral mucositis to fungal infection and evaluate the effect of fluconazole in the treatment of patients with fungal infection. METHODS: Seventy-one patients (M 42, F 29; 52 a± s 41 a,11-76 a) with large area of oral mucosas irradiated were into this study. When most serious mucositis, the patients' oral mucosas were checked, 32 patients with fungal infection were treated with fluconazole (fluconazole 100 mg, po, qd×5 d or 150 mg,iv,gtt×3 d). RESULTS: The rate of fungal infection was 45%, the most of patients were infected by candida albicans. Degrees of mucositis between the patients with fungal infection to the patients without fungal infection were significantly different (P<0.05). The patients with fungal infection were treated with fluconazole. Degree of mucositis between the pretreated patients and post-treated patients were significantly different (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The serious acute radiation-induced oral mucositis has significantly related with fungal infection. The patients with fungus infection treated with antifungal agents (fluconazole) can significantly relieve the reaction of acute radiation-induced oral mucositis.

Objective :
To estimate the risk threshold of route index(RI)and mosq-ovitrap index(MOI)based on Breteau index(BI),as supplements for dengue fever risk monitoring in specific habitats.
Methods :
Two towns and two streets were selected from nine towns(streets)in Jiashan County,and then one village(community)was selected from each of them as a Aedes albopictus monitoring site. The BI,RI and MOI were employed at the same time and area from April to October in the year 2018. Linear regression models were built with RI,MOI and BI to calculate the dengue risk threshold of RI and MOI according to BI.
Results :
The linear regression model of BI(X)and RI(Y)was Y=0.145+0.662X(P<0.05),of BI(X)and MOI(Y)was Y=3.423+0.524X(P<0.05). If BI=5(having risk of transmission of dengue fever),then RI=3.455(95%CI:1.717-5.198),MOI=6.043(95%CI:-0.327-12.417). If BI=10(having risk of outbreak),then RI=6.765(95%CI:5.018-8.518),MOI=8.663(95%CI:2.260-15.071). If BI=20(having risk of epidemic),then RI=13.385(95%CI:11.326-15.453),MOI=13.903(95%CI:6.352-21.461).
Conclusion
The dengue fever risk threshold of RI estimated by BI had a narrow 95%CI and could be applied for dengue fever risk assessment,while the risk threshold of MOI had a wide 95%CI and the application value needed further study.

Objective:
To observe the effect of internal limiting membrane peeling and transplantation on vision-related quality of life in refractory macular hole.
Methods:
A retrospective clinical study. Thirty patients (30 eyes) with refractory macular hole diagnosed in Ophthalmology Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to December 2016 were included in this study. There were 13 males (13 eyes) and 17 females (17 eyes), with the mean age of 57.3±6.9 years. There were 15 patients(15 eyes) with large macular diameter, 12 patients (12 eyes) with high myopia macular hole, and 3 patients (3 eyes) with secondary traumatic macular hole. The BCVA examination was performed using the Snellen visual acuity chart, which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. OCT was performed to measure the macular retinal thickness (CRT), base diameter and minimum diameter of macular hole. Then, the macular hole index(MHI) was calculated. The logMAR BCVA was 1.52±0.30, MHI was 0.51±0.19. The Chinese version of visual-related quality of life scale-25 (CVRQoL-25) was used to evaluate the vision-related quality of life of patients. The CVRQoL-25 score was 57.60±7.13. All patients underwent 23G vitrectomy combined with inner limited membrane peeling and autologous ILM transplantation. The follow-up was at least 3 months after surgery. The changes of BCVA, MHI, CRT and CVRQoL-25 score before and after surgery were comparatively analyzed. Paired

Objective To study regulatory mechanism of osteopontin (OPN) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods The expression of OPN in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), synovial fluid cells (SFMC) and synovium tissue (ST) and T cell subsets from RA patients were detected by real time PCR. The concentration and relative rate of inflammatory factors in the synovial fluid from RA patients were analyzed by ELISA. Results The mRNA expression of OPN in synovial fluid and tissue was higher than that of PBMC in the same RA patient. The OPN expression was found mainly on CD4+T. The OPN concentration was higher in the synovial fluid than that of in the same patient′s serum. Meanwhile, the concentration of IL-10, IFN-? and TNF-? was higher than that of in the serum from same patient. Also, the concentration of IL-18 and IL-12 were higher than that of normal individual serum. Conclusion OPN may control secretion of inflammatory factors of synovium tissue and synovial fluid and induce the inflammatory response.

Background and Purpose: With the rapid development of minimally invasive technique, robotic surgery is widely used in the gynecological surgery. This study aimed to compare the clinical data of roboticassisted laparoscopy and laparotomy in the treatment of early ovarian cancer. Methods: A total of 22 patients with early ovarian cancer receiving stage Ⅰ operation between Jan. 2015 and Dec. 2016 in Jilin Province Tumor Hospital were randomly divided into two groups: 8 patients received robotic-assisted surgery (robotic-assisted laparoscopic group), 14 patients received laparotomy (laparotomy group). Results: All patients underwent successful operation without changing surgical approach. The operation time in robotic-assisted laparoscopic group was longer than that in laparotomy group [(194.50±10.90) min vs (178.71±10.58) min, P<0.05]. Blood loss volume [(60.10±8.88) mL vs (73.71±12.99) mL], 24 hours postoperative drainage volumes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic group were less than those in laparotomy group [(96.88±10.21) mL vs (108.00±11.43) mL, P<0.05]. Others had no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion: In the clinical treatment of early ovarian cancer, there is no difference between robotic-assisted laparoscopic operation and laparotomy. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic operation is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
