AIM: To observe the clinical effect of Ex - press glaucoma filtration device implantation under scleral flap for traumatic glaucoma.
METHODS: Totally 19 eyes of 19 patients with traumatic glaucoma were implanted with Ex - press glaucoma filtration device under the scleral flap from December 2012 to May 2013. The postoperative visual acuity, anterior chamber depth and hyphema,intraocular pressure(IOP), filtering bleb and other complications were observed and summarized.
RESULTS: Ex - press glaucoma filtration device were implanted successfully in 19 patients. At 1d postoperatively shallow anterior chamber was occurred in 2 eyes and hyphema was occurred in 3 eyes. At 3mo postoperatively increased vision was occurred in 9 eyes (47%),functional filtering bleb was occurred in 18 eyes ( 95%), and IOP was 12. 1 ± 6. 1mmHg. At 6mo postoperatively increased vision was occurred in 11 eyes (58%),functional filtering bleb was occurred in 18 eyes (95%),and IOP was 13. 3±6. 9mmHg. Compared with the preoperative IOP ( 29. 8 ± 6. 7mmHg), the difference was significant(P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Ex - press glaucoma filtration device implantationfor traumatic glaucoma can improve the postoperative vision and control the postoperative IOP stably with fewer complications and high safety.

A simple and sensitive method was developed to screen ?-PL p ro duced strains from soils. 150mg/L K_2Cr_2O_7 was added to th e solid medium for actinomycetes enriching. A basic dye, methylene blue, incorp orated in the agar plate to detect alkali producers, because dye reacted with th e secreted basic polymers by electrostatic interaction with the secreted basic p dymers and formed special zoon. And then dragendorff regent was used to detect alkaloid producers. Four ?-PL producers were obtained by TLC analysis. Meanw hile, phylogenetic analysis of PL6-3 strain, including morphology, physiologica l and biochemical characters and chemotaxomy were performed and phylogenetic tre e was constructed based on the 16S rDNA sequences. And the results indicated th at PL6-3 strain is a member of Kitasatospora.

The clinical data of 109 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were retrospectively analyzed and the relationships among retinal detachment，refraction and the shapes of hole in different age groups discussed. The results showed that myopia was more commonly seen in the patients less than 40 years old and the occurrence of myopia was gradually decreased in the patients over 40 years old. Round hole was more commonly seen in the patients less than 40 years old and horseshoe-shaped tears were more often found in the age group of over 40 years old.

Vitreo-retinal surgery is one of the effective methods in treating severe vitreoretinopathy.However,there remains great variance in surgical quality,outcomes and success rates among hospitals of different areas in China.This article focuses on how to im- prove in surgical outcomes and success rate as well as to avoid complications of vitreo-retinal surgery.Specific issues are addressed on such as indications and timing of vitreo-retinal surgery,management of pre-operative patients,applications of new appliances and mate- rials,maneuver of surgical techniques and nurturing appropriate habits of surgery.

Objective To study the protective mechanism of Gross Saponin Tribulus Terrestris(GSTT) on the neonatal rat ventricular cardiocytes injured by hypoxia and the effect on protein kinase C(PKC).Methods The hypoxia-ischemia model was performed by treating the cultured neonatal rat ventricular cardiocytes with NaCN.The effect of GSTT(100 and 30 mg?L~(-1)) on the contents of ?PKC and ?PKC were detected by flow cytometry and laser confocal microscopy system.Results GSTT up-regulated ?PKC and ?PKC expressions.The contents of ?PKC and ?PKC in GSTT 100 mg?L~(-1) group(1 325.00?53.25,810.55?36.89;66.22?6.23,40.12?2.21) were increased significantly than those in model group(792.00?32.36,492.40?30.15;32.70?2.78,29.28?4.82)(P

Objective To compare the isometric muscle strength of muscle groups in the lower extremities of children with spastic hemiplegia among sides or ages. Methods17 spastic hemiplegic children were measured the muscle strength of hip, knee and ankle muscle groups with hand-held dynamometry (HHD). ResultsMuscle strength was weaker in the involved side than in the other side. In younger children, it was weaker of overall extremity, while in the older it was of the distal end mainly. ConclusionWhen applying strength training to spastic hemiplegic children, it is important to notice strength of all groups in lower extremity in younger children and the distal groups in older ones.
