Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2012;28(1):22-25
Objective To observe the clinical effects of vitrectomy for advanced retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and evaluate influence factors of anatomical recovery for stage 5 ROP.Methods Fiftyeight eyes of 40 infants with advanced ROP who underwent vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed.There were 16 eyes of stage 4a,7 eyes of stage 4b,and 35 eyes of stage 5 ROP.Eighteen eyes received laser photocoagulation,2 eyes received cryotherapy,and 11 eyes received intravitreous injection of Bevacizumab (IVB) before surgery.The average follow-up time was 17.01 months.Anatomical outcome of retina after surgery was recorded by indirect ophthalmoscope and RetCam Ⅱ digital camera system.Visual outcome was measured by grating acuity test(lea gratingTM),and was converted to Snellen acuity values for analysis.For those who cannot cooperate to accomplish the test,we use hand move,light perception and non-light perception to record visual outcome. Results All 16 eyes of stage 4a were anatomically recovered (100.00%).5/7 eyes of stage 4b were anatomically recovered (71.43%) and 2/7 eyes were anatomically failed(28.57%).12/35 eyes of stage 5 were anatomically recovered (34.29%); 10/35 eyes were partial anatomically recovered (28.57%); 13 eyes were anatomically failed (37.14%). Anatomical outcome of stage 4a or 4b was better than stage 5 statistically(x2 =22.55,P<0.05).Of 16 eyes of stage 4a,3 eyes were absent for visual function test.In the rest 13 eyes of stage 4a,VA of 6 eyes (46.15%) was between 0.03 and 0.07; 5 eyes (38.46%) were hand move; 2 eyes (15.39%) were light perception.Of 7 eyes of stage 4b,2 eyes (28.57%) accomplished grating acuity test with VA of 0.008 and 0.017 respectively; 1 eye (14.29%) was hand move; 2 eyes (28.57%) were light perception; 2 eyes (28.57%) were non-light perception.Of 35 eyes of stage 5,5 eyes were absent for visual function test.In the rest 30 eyes of stage 5,VAof2 eyes (6.67%) was 0.004; 4 eyes (13.33%) were hand move; 12 eyes (40.00%) were light perception; 12 eyes (40.00%) were non-light perception.Visual outcome of stage 5 was worse than stage 4a or 4b statistically(x2=15.734,P<0.05).There was no statistically significant relationship between anatomical outcome and birth weight,gestational weeks,age at surgery,IVB therapy,laser or cryotherapy before surgery.Conclusions Vitrectomy can effectively control the lesions progress of stage 4a ROP,and achieve partially anatomically recovery of some stage 4b/5 patients.There was no statistically significant relationship between anatomical outcome and birth weight,gestational weeks,age at surgery,IVB,laser or cryotherapy before surgery.
2.A study of hepatopancreatic artery with DSA and its significance in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma
Journal of Interventional Radiology 1992;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the anatomic characteristics of hepatopancreatic artery(HPA) by DSA and its significance in preventing pancreatic complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 1 000 cases of hepatic arteriograms have been retrospectively reviewed. The aberrant pancreatic arteries that originate from proper hepatic artery(PHA) and all distal intrahepatic branches to PHA were called hepatopancreatic arteries. The incidence of HPA has been summed up and its anatomic characteristics such as origine, course, branches and distribution have been described. Results Of 1000 cases, HPA were found in 16 cases(1.6%). There were 2 branches of HPA in one case and there was only one branch of HPA in other 15 cases. Altogether 17 branches of HPA were found; of which, 7 branches originated from PHA(41.2%,7/17), 6 branches arose from right hepatic artery(RHA)(35.3%,6/17) and 4 branches came from left hepatic artery(LHA)(23.5%,4/17). Conclusions HPA is a kind of rare variations of pancreatic artery. The importance to avoid embolizing HPA during TACE is preventing pancreatic complications.

Chinese Journal of Radiology 2000;0(12):-
Objective To study the characteristics of hepatogastric artery (HGA) with DSA and its clinical significance in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods One thousand cases of hepatic DSA arteriograms had been retrospectively reviewed. The aberrant gastrointestinal arteries that originated from proper hepatic artery (PHA) or distal intrahepatic arteries to PHA were named HGA. Furthermore, according to their different courses and distributions, HGAs were subdivided into right gastric artery (RGA), aberrant left gastric artery (AbLGA), aberrant gastroduodenal artery (AbGDA), aberrant right gastroepiploic artery (AbRGEA), superior duodenal artery (SDA) and other difficult-to-named HGA. The incidence of each of them had been summed up and their anatomic characteristics such as origin, course, branches, and distribution had been described. Results Of the 1000 cases, at least one branch of HGA was found in 740 cases (74%), and altogether there were 839 branches of HGA in them. The composition of 839 branches of HGA was as follows: 682 branches of RGA (81.29%, 682/839), 84 branches of AbLGA (10.01%, 84/839), 45 branches of SDA (5.36%, 45/839), 21 branches of AbGDA (2.50%, 21/839), 1 branch of AbRGEA (0.12%, 1/839) and 6 branches of difficult-to-named HGA (0.72%, 6/839). Of the 839 branches of HGA, 412 branches originated from PHA (49.11%, 412/839), 314 branches from left hepatic artery (LHA)(37.43%, 314/839), 98 branches from right hepatic artery (RHA)(11.68%, 98/839), and 15 branches from middle hepatic artery (MHA)(1.79%, 15/839). Conclusion HGA is a common gastrointestinal arterial variation and it is very important to be familiar with it so as to prevent the gastrointestinal complications after TACE in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investig ate the expression of Schwann cell derived fa ctor (SDNF) in normal or under the condi tion of different injuries on the sciati c nerves of rats. Methods Sevent y-five S D rats were divided into three groups ac cording to different injuri es including transection, transection fo llowed by epineurial suture, and crush. Ten normal rats were treated as control. T he immunohistochemistry of both sciatic nerve and spinal cord were performed at 5,7,14,30,60 days after operation respec tively. Result (1)lower levels o f SDNF were detected in normal sciatic nerve, t he whole white matter and the laminae Ⅲ~ Ⅴ of dorsal horn of spinal cord. (2)In g roup transection, the SDNF levels reache d a maxium at 14 days after operation in proxi mal segment, at 7 days in distal segment , and at 5 days in spinal cord. There ap peared a highest expression in related t issue of both group crushing and group s uturing at 60 days after operation. (3)SD N F staining of dorsal horn ipsilateral to the nerve lesion was stronger than that of contralateral. There was a transient expression in spinal motor neurons ipsi lateral to nerve lesion at 5 days in gro up crushing and group transection and at 30 days in group suturing. Conclusi on (1)There is a weaker expression i n norma l sciatic nerve and spinal cord. (2)The expression of SDNF varies with the diffe rent nerve lesions. (3)Significant quant ities of SDNF are released from Schwann cells after nerve lesion, and SDNF is then available to the axon of the lesioned neurons which may promote neuro n repair.

Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness of ozone (O_3) nucleus pulposus ablation only with that of 03 nucleus pulposus ablation combined with intervertebral facet joint injection of compound Betamethasome in treating lumbar disk herniation accompanied with intervertebral facet arthritis. Methods Eighty patients with lumbar disk herniation and intervertebral facet arthritis were equally and randomly divided into two groups. Under CT guidance, O_3 nucleus pulposus ablation was performed in patients of group A(n = 40), while O_3 nucleus pulposus ablation combined with intervertebral facet joint injection of compound Betamethasome (0.5 ~ 1 ml) was carried out in patients of group B (n = 40). Using double blind method the therapeutic effectiveness was evaluated before and 1 week, 3, 6-months after the procedure by an Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire. Results One week after the procedure the effective rate of group A and group B was 65% and 82.5% respectively. Three and six months after the treatment, the effective rate was 75% and 70% respectively for group A, while it was 90% and 92.5% respectively for group B. The difference between two groups was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion lntradiscal injection of O_3 combined with intervertebral facet joint injection of compound Betamethasome is an effective and safe treatment for lumbar disk herniation accompanied with intervertebral facet arthritis. It is worth popularizing this technique in clinical practice.
