Objective To investigate the characteristics of process of the formation of idiopathic macular hole, measurement was made for the patients using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods OCT was performed in 55 eyes of 40 cases (40 initially diseased eyes and 15 contralateral eyes). Results OCT images showed that among the 40 initially diseased eyes the number of macular hole of 1, 2, 3 and 4 stages was respectively 1, 11, 23 and 5 eyes. The depth of fovea of eye of stage 1 was 331 ?m. The average diameters of the macular holes in stage s 2, 3 and 4 were respectively 298.1 ?m, 681.2 ?m and 557.5 ?m. Ten out of the 15 contralateral eyes were observed with macular hole (stage 1 and 2 were 6, 3 eyes respectively and lamellar hole was 1 eye). Separation of posterior vitreous was observed in 16 out of 55 macular holes eyes (account for 29%). OCT images showed that there were split and cystic space with separated vitreous centrally attached to the fovea in the case of stage 1. It was observed that the contracted operculum attached to post erior vitreous with an opening apart from the center in the case of stage 2. Stage 3 displayed a full-thickness hole with surrounding edema and stage 4 showed a full-thickness hole and a complete separation of the posterior vitreous from retina. Conclusions OCT can display clearly the size, shape and process of the formation of macular hole. It was observed that the initial changes in the vitreous detachment and fovea by investigation of the contralateral eyes. OCT is also a useful method for the diagnosis, study on the mechanisms of the formation of macular hole.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for medical workers about how to make better use of the PubMed to retrieve foreign literature.METHODS:The PubMed was introduced in detail with example in respect of the retrieving method,special service function,use of special column,storing and printing of retrieving results,etc.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:PubMed is generally accepted as one of the most important and authoritative biomedical bibliographic database and its contents cover each field of biomedicine.Mastering the methods and skills of retrieving PubMed is of great help for medical workers to retrieve foreign literature rapidly and accurately.

It is suggested to explore the practice of doctors at different edical institutes in the Project of Medical Reform in 2009.There will be a series of problems when the practice is carried out.The methods to solve these problems would be studied in the aspects of defining the nature of doctors′ practice at different medical institutes,improving system building and transferring conception.

Objective:To find the regulations of glutamine(Gln) metabolism by tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?).Methods:Thirty male SD rats were assigned into three groups: A(total parenteral nutrition,TPN),B(TPN+Gln),C(TPN+ TNF-?+Gln).Besides all rats were supported by isonitrogenous and isocaloric TPN solutions for 3 days,rats in group B were supplied with Gln(in the form of alanylglutamine) for 3 days at the rate of 0.3 g/(kg?d),rats in group C were infused intravenously with TNF-? at the rate of 5 ?g/(kg?h) within the last 24 hours and also supplemented with Gln for three days at the same rate as in group B.At the last 0.5 hour,all animals were mainlined with \leucine at the dosage of 1.0 mmol/kg.TNF-? levels in plasma,concentrations of Gln in plasma and skeletal muscle were measured as the experiment ended after 72 hours,and the fractional synthesis rate(FSR) were also assessed.Results:The Gln concentrations in plasma and skeletal muscle increased markedly from group A,B to C.The levels of FSR decreased remarkably along with the sequence from group B,C to A.The statistical differences were significant(P

Objective: To explore the preventive measures for early stage pulmonary complications in old patients following thoracic surgery.Methods: We conducted psychotherapy,pulmonary infection control,training in breathing and instructions in expectorating phlegm in 127 old patients(over 70 years) undergoing thoracic surgery.Results: The patients experienced difficult expectoration on the first postoperative day because of increased sputum viscoelasticity,which was gradually improved later.Analgestic and mucokinetic measures produced intended results on the first three postoperative days,with significant improvement of sputum fluidity.And the concept of fast track surgery promoted the recovery of the patients.Conclusion: The preventive measures proved essential for the prevention of early stage pulmonary complications in old patients following thoracic surgery.

OBJECTIVE To study the infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa after brain operation and drug-sensitivity.METHODS The system of BBLCrystalTM MIND-Crystal identification and Chinese software were used to identify P.aeruginosa.Drug-sensitivity was performed by K-B methods in accordance with NCCLS.RESULTS Totally 261 specimens were isolated from 126 patients during Mar to Dec 2005.From them 99 strains of P.aeruginosa were detected from specimens of 38 patients.There were 50 strains from phlegm,20 strains from suction in trachea,6 strains from urethral catheterization,8 strains from vein catheter,and 15 strains from wound excretion.Seventy seven strains(77.7%)were isolated during the peak period of May to August.Strains that were isolated in the same period possessed uniform drug-sensitivity results,which hinted epidemic of the same clone of P.aeruginosa in the Deparment of Cerebral Surgery.Drug-sensitivity results showed P.aeruginosa had been resistant to the common antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Infection with P.aeruginosa after brain operation and drug resistance have already been serious,so we should think seriously of it.

Objective:To study whether early exposure to house dust mite will aggravate airway inflammation as well as the onset of asthma and to explore the relevant mechanism.Methods:Neonate Wistar rats were injected with HDM subcutaneously instantly after birth.After the four times management,they were established as models of asthma with OVA,and bronchoalveolus was lavaged to count percentage of eosinophils.And levels of IL-4,IFN-? and serum OVA-IgE were also detected.Results:In HDM group,the percentage of EOS,level of serum OVA-IgE and level of IL-4 were (37.07?1.10) %,(0.20?0.023) and (78.96?12.18) pg/ml,respectively,the highest among the three groups,otherwise level of IFN-?,the lowest,(93.78?2.10)pg/ml.Conclusion:Early exposure to house dust mite after birth could aggravate the level of airway inflammation in later life and increase the level of IgE,which is related with T H1/T H2 imbalance.

Objective:To construct the standard curve for real-time PCR detecting the tissue expression level of Angptl3 in SD rat.Methods:The total RNA of the SD rat's liver was the template.We got lots of the Angptl3 partial DNA sequence by RT-PCR.The products were cloned into the pUCm-T vector,Then we diluted the solution of plasmid and used real-time PCR(SYBR GreenⅠ)to construct the standard curve.Results:The correlation coefficient of the standard curve was 0.997 6.The reaction efficiency was 0.862 3.The correlation and the amplify efficiency were good.Conclusion:It is successful to construct the standard curve for real-time PCR detecting the tissue expression level of Angptl3 in SD rat.

Objective:To compare the effect of 5 methionine-related media on inhibition of gastric cancer cells' proliferation. Methods:Gastric cancer cell line SUN-16 was cultured with L-Met,Met~(-)Hcy~(-),Met~(-)Hcy~(+),D-Met,and DL-Met media respectively.The group of L-Met medium was control.A_(490) was detected by MTT in 24,48,72,96,120 h. Results:Comparing with control group,A_(490) of SUN-16 cells significantly decreased in Met~(-)Hcy~(-),Met~(-)Hcy~(+),D-Met,DL-Met media respectively((P
