In this article,authers reported a method of keeping hetero-sclera as intra-sclera fillings and external Pad pressure. Based on the analysis and discussion of 153 eye cases, it is shown that there is no obvious relationship between the success of operations and the range of retinal detachment and the size of holes. The success,however.has a close bearing on the membrane formation. Among the 153 eye cases, 126 were cured which accounted for 82.4％ while 27 cases failed, making up 17.6％. In the process of using foreing sclera, no complications,such as infection, sclera′s falling off or getting into the vitreous body,were found.

Objective To compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis of bacterial liver abscess in patients with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus, in order to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 110 patients with bacterial liver abscess at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Among them, 45 cases with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 65 cases without type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in the study.The demographic data, clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory findings, pathogenic results, imaging findings, treatment and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Differences among the quantitative data with normal distribution were compared using t test, while count data were compared with χ2 test or Fisher exact test.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to determine the prognostic risk factors of two groups.Results Fever as initial symptom in diabetic group and non-diabetic group were 37 cases and 40 cases, respectively, while abdominal pain presented in 7 cases and 22 cases of the two groups, respectively, both with statistically significant difference (χ2=5.417 and 4.582, respectively, both P<0.05).As for laboratory examination, neutrophil counts in the two groups were (12.87±8.83)×109/L and (10.24±4.86)×109/L, respectively, the percentages of neutrophils were 0.841±0.077 and 0.799±0.103, respectively, albumin levels were (28.36±4.65) g/L and (30.67±6.16) g/L, respectively, with statistically significant difference (t=2.010, 2.317 and-2.265, respectively, all P<0.05).Patients with elevated blood urea nitrogen in the two groups were 13 cases and 8 cases, respectively, patients with elevated creatinine were 9 cases and 4 cases, respectively, with statistically significant difference (χ2=4.733 and 4.892, respectively, both P<0.05).In diabetic group, pus culture was positive in 13 out of 19 cases, and blood culture was positive in 7 out of 21 cases.In non-diabetic group, pus culture was positive in 9 out of 13 cases, and blood culture was positive in 6 out of 25 cases.The positive rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the two groups were 37.5% (15/40) and 15.8% (6/38) , respectively, with statistically significant difference (χ2=4.669, P=0.031).The effective rates of the two groups with glycemic control were 84.4% (38/45) and 84.6% (55/65), respectively, and the mortality rates of the two groups were 2.2% (1/45) and 1.5% (1/65), respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression showed that multiple abscess (OR=34.61, 95% CI: 1.601-748.457, P=0.024) was prognostic risk factor and invasive intervention (OR=0.028, 95%CI: 0.001-0.984, P=0.049) was protective factor in the diabetes mellitus group.Hypoalbuminemia (OR=14.793, 95% CI: 1.605-136.322, P=0.017) and the history of abdominal surgery within two years (OR=7.624, 95% CI: 1.294-44.913, P=0.025) were prognostic risk factors in the non-diabetic group.Conclusions Patients with bacterial liver abscess showing symptoms of severe infection in diabetic group are more frequently than patients in non-diabetic group.Klebsiella pneumoniae infection rate is also higher in diabetic group.Patients with bacterial liver abscess and diabetes mellitus should receive antibiotic treatment combined with invasive therapy in time.

The zinc finger protein A20 exists in many kinds of ceils in the body and plays multiple roles in physiological and pathological processes such as regulation of immune response,inflammatory diseases and cancers by inhibiting cell apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and restricting NFKB signaling pathway.Recently,the role of A20 in generation and development of tumors draws wide attention,hence,we summarized recent research progress of the relation between A20 and cancer in this review.

Metallothionein ( MT ) is a cysteine-rich and low-molecular metal binding protein. Three isoforms of MT have been found in the central nervous system, including MT-Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ. MT is widely involved in many critical activities in the central nervous system, such as neuronal growth, auto-defensive reaction, immune-regulation, and repair of cerebral injury. MT exerts many important biological functions like scavenging of free radicals, regulation of ion homeostasis in brain cells, detoxification of heavy metals, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis. Recently, MT has been increasingly shown to have protective effects against cerebral ischemia. MT promises to be an important target for prevention and/or treatment of cerebral ischemic disease. ln this review, the expression and regulation characteristics, and the effect of cerebral ischemic stress on MT expression have been summarized, with focus on the neuro-protective effect of MT and its possible underlying mechanisms.

Objective To summarize the clinical data and laboratory features of vera polycythemia incorporated with hemolysis in one case. Methods The treatment and diagnosis of series of laboratory detection with conventional cytogenetics,mutation detection in JAK2V617F,BCR/ABL fusion gene were investigated with literature. Results JAK2V617F point mutation was detected positively,BCR/ABL fusion gene was negative and trisomic chromosome 8. The case was mend and discharged after successively treated with conventional treatment of dexamethasone,antiinfective,hepatoprotective and follow-up treatment of bloodletting,hydroxyurea and interferon.Conclusions The onset of vera polycythemia is latent which is difficult to find in the early phase.Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) of JAK2V617F mutation will be helpful to the diagnosis.

Objective To study the changes of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (ha-CRP) and depression in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS),and investigate the relationship between them.Methods Thirty healthy volunteers (control group) and 54 OSAHS patients (OSAHS group) were recruited for the study.The level of serum hs-CRP was determined by scatter rate nephelometry,and the state of depression was assessed by self-rating depression scale (SDS).Results The level of serum hs-CRP and SDS score were higher in OSAHS group than those in control group [(48.8 ± 12.7) scores vs.(36.3 ± 6.3) scores,(3.3 ±0.7) mg/L vs.(1.4 ± 0.4) mg/L](P＜0.01).SDS score and the level of serum hs-CRPwere positively correlated to apnea-hypopnea index(AHI) (r = 0.636,0.628 ;P<0.01) and negatively related to the MSaO2 (r =-0.509,-0.614;P <0.01) and LSaO2 (r =-0.607,-0.512;P <0.01).The level of serum hs-CRP was positive correlation to SDS score (r = 0.536,P<0.01).SDS score was related to the AHI,the level of serum hs-CRP and LSaO2 in multiple linear regression(F= 33.31,P = 0.002).Conclusion Depression is correlated to AHI and the level of serum hs-CRP in patients with OSAHS.

Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of tiotropium plus sustained-release theophylline in treating stable moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) . Methods A randomized clinical trail was conducted in 80 patients with stable moderate COPD, who were admitted to our hospital from March 2008 to December 2009. All patients were divided into two groups randomly and accepted tiotropium (groupⅠ ,n =40) or tiotropium plus sustained-release theophylline (group Ⅱ ,n =40) treatment for 12 weeks. Results Seventy patients completed the study,in which 36 cases had tiotropium alone and 34 cases had combination therapy. At the end of treatment, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in the comparisons of FEV1, FEV1%, FVC, FEV1/FVC, activity score and impacts score of the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) (Ps > 0. 05). While the symptoms score (53.08 ± 12.25 vs.59.39±9.74,t=2.39,P<0.05) and total score (23. 91 ±2. 57 vs. 25. 27 ±2.14, t =2.40, P <0.05) of SGRQ were significantly lower in group Ⅱ compared to group Ⅰ. Six adverse events,including dry mouth (n =4), palpitation (re = 1) , constipation (n = 1), were observed in tiotropium alone group during the treatment period. Eleven adverse events were observed in combination treatment group, including dry mouth (re = 3) ,stomach discomfort or nausea (n = 3), diarrhea (re = 2) , palpitation (n = 2), constipation (n = 1) . The incidences of adverse reactions of two groups had no significant difference (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Compared with the single application of tiotropium, tiotropium plus sustained-release theophylline therapy can alleviate symptoms and improve life quality in patients with stable moderate COPD,without significantly increasing adverse reactions.
