Photodynamic therapy is the first treatment confirmed to be effective in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration in 2000,which had been introduced to China in the same year.The pathological new vessels were destructed by the singlet oxygen and oxygen free radical released by activated photosensitizer.In the next 12 years,it has been widely applied for the treatment of subfoveal and parafoveal choroidal neovascularization caused by all kinds of chorioretinal diseases.More than a treatment,it also help us to explore the pathogenesis of fundus disease,the capability to embolize the capillaries within the treating area let us not only understand the mechanism of central serous chorioretinopathy and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy,but also make it a effective cure for them.However,there are still a lot of unsolved questions such as the mechanism of photodynamic therapy,the relationship with human genomic difference,and even the development of angiogenesis.Besides with the more novel medications and strategies available,we also face the appropriate application for indications,selection of combined therapy and optimization of treatment regimens.Further investigations about the photodynamic therapy and disease and their relations from both basic and clinical study will guide us the treatment in clinic and also reveal the truth of related fundus diseases deep under the surface.

Effects of temperature and anesthesia on various excitability indexes of sciatic—peronael nerve were observed in toads. The results show that standard electrical quantity(a) changes regularly with the change of excitability. The higher excitability, the less the "a" value. But "b" in Weiss's fomula, chronaxie (Chr), rheobase (Rh), and intensity-duration curve do not indicate excitability. The time constant (RC)of the cell membrane is not related to the changes of excitability. Thus, "a" is an actual index of measuring excitability.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect and the application value of total mesentery excision to the rectal cancerous patients. Methods The clinical data of 67 rectal cancerous patients who received the radical resection which following the TME principle,and with a 2 ～3 years follow-up were analyzed. Results All the 67 patients received the radical resection,including 1 anastomotic fistula,3 anastomotic stenosis, neither local recurrence nor distant metastasis. Conclusion TME played an important role in preventing the local recurrence of rectal cancer, and it met the standards of surgical treatment of rectal cancer better.

Colorectal cancer(CRC) is one of the most common tumors with a high prevalence of cancer-related morbidity and mortality.Several environmental factors,especially dietary factors,can affect the initiation and development of CRC.Recent studies have shown that adjusting nutrition components in diet,such as folate,calcium,vitamin D,selenium and fibre,may help to prevent the development of CRC.The objective of article is to review mechanisms of these nutritional components in the process of preventing CRC.

Objective To investigate the correlation of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)and the preoperative he-moglobin (HbA1c)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods 82 patients with T2DM who were underwent non-cardiac surgery were included in this study,group A had 37 patients with POCD after surgery,group B had 45 patients with non POCD,the patients in two groups used the same anesthesia method,compared the general data and pre-operative HbA1c,fasting blood glucose levels of two groups,compared the incidence of POCD in patients with HbA1c in dif-ferent levels.Results There was no significant difference in gender composition,age,body mass index,preoperative MMSE score,hypertension rate,operation time and bleeding volume in operation,and there was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose of patients in two groups.Fasting blood-glucose (FBG)of two groups were 7.1±2.6 and 6.7±1.8 mmol/L (t=0.821,P=0.424),it was no significant difference;HbA1c of two groups were (7.2±1.3)% and (6.3±1.0)%,the group A was higher than the group B (t=3.543,P=0.001),there was significant difference.The incidence rate of POCD of the group AH was 58.1%(25/43),while the group AL was 30.8% (12/39),the group AH was higher the group AL(χ2=5.131,P=0.024),there was significant difference.Conclusion Preoperative determination of HbA1c in elderly patients with T2DM after surgery has forecast values for the occurrence of POCD,to control HbA1c in the low level can reduce the occurrence of POCD in elderly patients with T2DM.

Objective To establish animal tumor model expressing human oncogene HER2/neu and to evaluate the model by immunological method. Methods The recombinant eukaryotic plasmid expressing HER2/neu gene was transfected into P815 tumor cells. The tumor cell line P815 expressing HER2/neu gene stably was screened by limiting dilution method. The expression of target gene in host cells was determined by Western blotting. Following the establishment of animal tumor model expressing HER2 antigen in DBA/2 mice, tumor specific response was induced in the spleen cells of DBA/2 mice which were inoculated with recombinant plasmids. Results P815 cell line expressing HER2/neu oncogene stably was obtained. HER2/neu specific CTLs could be induced from immunized DBA/2 mice. Conclusion HER2/neu expressing tumor animal model is established successfully and the in vivo immune response can be induced after immunization with HER2/neu genetic vaccine.
