AIM:To explore the histopathological classification and incidence of orbital space-occupying lesions in children in order to provide references for the diagnosis of orbital space-occupying lesions in children.
METHODS:A total of 290 paediatric patients with orbital space - occupying lesions diagnosed by pathological examinations at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 1998 to December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTS:In 290 paediatric patients with orbital space-occupying lesions, venous hemangioma was the most common (58 cases,20. 0%), the other commons were as follows: hemangio lymphangioma, dermid cyst, neurofibroma, optic nerve glioma, rhabdomyo sarcoma and so on. Capillary hemangioma, venous hemangioma, optic nerve glioma had the predominant age incidence. On the other hand, optic nerve glioma, venous hemangioma, rhabdomyosarcoma had the predominant sex incidence.
CONCLUSION: The majority of paediatric patients with orbital space - occupying lesions are congenital and embryonic lesions, the most common of which is venous hemangioma. Some lesions had the predominant age and sex incidence.

BACKGROUND: Some studies have demonstrated that the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), which matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participates in, plays a key step in the corneal neovascularization (CNV). Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2), a new type serine proteinase inhibitor found recently, can effectively inhibit the activity of MMPs. Whether TFPI-2 gene transfection can influence CNV is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of TFPI-2 gene transfection on CNV.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Laboratory for Department of Surgery, Wuhan Union Hospital; Central Laboratory, the Affiliated Third Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: This study was carried out in the laboratory for Department of Surgery of Wuhan Union Hospital and State Central Laboratory of the Third Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University between June 2004 and March 2006. Sixty healthy purebred adult New Zealand rabbits of either gender, weighing 2.5 to 3.0 kg, were involved. Preoperatively, no obvious anterior segment ocular lesion was found by slit-lamp examination. pBos-Cite-neo/TFPl-2 was kindly gifted by Dr. Zhong Ren (Department of Hematology, Union Hospital). Peroxydase blocking agent, nonimmune goat serum,mouse anti-human MMP-1, 2 and 3 monoclonal antibodies, biotin labeled goat-anti-mouse IgG second antibody (Santa cruz Company) were used in this study.METHODS: Experimental intervention: Experimental rabbit models of CNV were created in each group by silver nitrate cautery. Then, the rabbit models were randomized into 3 groups and 20 rabbits for each group. Different reagents were subconjunctivally injected via many points in each group: saline in the group Ⅰ, empty vector in the group Ⅱ, plasmid encoding TFPI-2 in the group Ⅲ. Experimental evaluation: CNV growth was observed under the slit-lamp biomicroscope.The expression of TFPI-2 in each rabbit model was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method 2 weeks after modeling; the expression of MMPs in corneal tissue was detected by immunohistochemical method at 3,5,7,9 and 14 days after modeling.TFPI-2 gene expression was significantly higher in the group Ⅲ than in the group Ⅱ and group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01); The MMP-1, 2, 3 expressions in the corneal tissue were significantly lower in the group Ⅲ than in the group Ⅱ and group Ⅰ,respectively, especially MMP-1, 3.

Apoptosis is a cell suicide process with a major role in development and homeostasis in bodies. Dysregulation of apoptosis, involved with inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs), contributes a variety of disease states including cancer. The recent progress of members of IAPs family and the anticancer strategy against IAPs is reviewed in this paper.

AIM To investgate the changes in the expression of CREB and p-CREB in the cortex of ethanol dependent rats. On other hand, the effects of fluoxetine on these changes were also studied. METHODS Ethanol was administered in drinking water at the concentration of 6% V/V, for 28 d. The expression of CREB and p-CREB in the rat cortex were measured by immunohistochemistry methods. RESULTS It was found that chronic ethanol treatment and its withdrawal did not modify the expression of CREB in the rat cortex. However, the levels of p-CREB in the frontal and piriform cortex of rats were significantly decreased during ethanol withdrawal, and respectively decreased 57.28%?55.84% compared to control rats at 24 h after ethanol withdrawal. When fluoxetine (ip, 10 mg?kg -1) were administried concurrently with ethanol, it can significantly dampen alcohol withdrawal symptoms and antagonize the down-regulation of the phosphorylation of CREB in the frontal and piriform cortex of rats at 24 h after ethanol withdrawal, the expression of p-CREB protein respectively increased 292 58%,128 44% compared with rats intaking ethanol. CONCLUSION CREB may be one of the substance of the signal transduction process for ethanol dependence. Fluoxetine can reverse the decreased p-CREB levels in rat cortex induced by ethanol withdrawal, which may be the part reason of fluoxetine dampening alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of open surgery, peritoneal laparoscopic excision and retroperitoneal laparoscopic excision for adrenal pheochromocytoma. Methods. We retrospectively ana-lyzed the clinical data of 54 patients with adrenal pheochro-mocytoma (27 males and 27 females). Patients' age ranged from 19 to 71. The diameter of tumors ranged from 1.5 to 7.0 cm. Fifty patients had symptoms of hypertension and their course of disease ranged from 2 months to 15 years. None of the patients had inva-sion and metastasis in surrounding organs. According to modus operandi, the patients were divided into 3 groups. The 20 patients in group A underwent open surgery, the 16 patients in group B underwent peritoneal laparoscopic excision, and the 18 patients in group C underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic excision. The surgical duration, volume of blood loss, severe blood pressure fluctuation, recovery time of intestinal function,postoperative hospital stay, and decrease of blood pressure were compared among the three groups. The re-sults were statistically analyzed. Results: All surgeries were successful, with no complications. All specimens were proved pheochromocytoma. The mean surgical duration was 120.60±18.18 min in group A, 105.13±17.46 min in group B, and 102.22±16.01 min in group C. The volume of blood loss was 146.50±36.20 mL in group A, 116.56±37.32mL in group B, and 120.28±33.80mL in group C. Twelve cases in group A, 5 cases in group B and 5 cases in group C had blood pressure fluctuation. The recovery time of intestinal function was 2.40±0.79 d in group A, 1.75±0.45 d in group B, and 1.58±0.49 d in group C. The postoperative hospital stay was 11.15±1.87 d in group A, 5.94±0.85 d in group B, and 5.94±0.80 d in group C. There was statistical signifi-cance between group A VS group B and group C (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance between group B and group C. There were 18, 15 and 17 cases in group A, B and C who had postoperative decrease of blood pressure, with no statistical difference among the three groups (P>0.05). All cases were followed up for 9 months to 6 years, with no recurrence. Conclusion: Peritoneal laparoscopic excision and retroperitoneal laparoscopic excision can be considered as the preferred choice for adrenal pheochromocytoma, with mini-mal invasion, fast recovery, and satisfactory safety.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rabeprazole sodium injection in the treatment of non-esophageal variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding in comparison with the positive control,omeprazole.Methods From January 2010 to January 2011,231 patients with non-esophageal variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding from 20 hospitals were divided into rabeprazole group and omeprazole group in this multicenter,randomized,blind,parallel-group,positive drug controlled clinical trial.Hemostasis rate in 72 hours was the primary endpoint.Hemostasis rate in 120 hours,time to hemostasis,blood transfusion volume and the rate of switching treatments were the secondary endpoint.And safety was also analyzed.Chi square test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were performed for statistical analysis.Results At 72 hours after treatment,the hemostasis rates of rabeprazole group and omeprazole group were 98.20％(109/111)and 98.25％(112/114), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The 95％ confidence interval (CI) of the rate difference between the two group was-3.50 ％ to 3.40 ％.The result of non-inferiority test indicated that the lower limit of the 95％CI of the rate difference between the two groups was-2.95％ (U=5.652,P＜0.01),and rabeprazole group was not inferior to omeprazole group.At 12 hours after treatment,the hemostatic rates of rabeprazole group and omeprazole group were 63.06％(70/111) and 53.51％(61/114),respectively,and there was no statistically significant difference (P＞0.05).At 120 hours after treatment,the hemostasis rates of rabeprazole group and omeprazole group were 99.10 ％ (110/111) and 98.25 ％ (112 /114),and there was no statistically significant difference (P＞0.05).The median time of hemostasis of two groups was 24 hours.During the treatment,there were two cases and seven cases of rabeprazole group and omeprazole group received blood transfusions,respectively;there were 0.90％ (1/111) and 2.63 ％ (3/114) patients switched to other treatment,and no statistically significant difference was found (P＞0.05).The rates of adverse event of rabeprazole group and omeprazole group were 11.61％ (13/112) and 5.26％ (6/114),respectively.The rates of adverse reaction were 6.25％ (7/112) and 4.39％ (5/114),respectively.The differences in the rates of adverse event and adverse reaction between two groups were not statistically significant(both P＞0.05).Conclusion Rabeprazole sodium injection is an effective and safe drug in the treatment of non-esophageal variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of epidural labor analgesia with contin-uous background infusion and its impact on obstetric outcome.Methods This was a retrospective co-hort study.In the two months of march 2014 and march 201 5,503 nulliparas women who had re-ceived epidural analgesia for labor were enrolled and assigned to two different study groups according to their analgesic protocol.Two hundred and fifty-eight nulliparas in group C received only patient-controlled analgesia while two hundred and forty-five nulliparas in group P received patient-controlled analgesia with continuous background infusion.The basic and perinatal data of all enrolled nulliparas women were collected and analyzed to compare the analgesic effect and the impact on obstetric risk of two different analgesic protocol.Results The NRS pain score during the second labor stage was lower in group P [3 (3-4)scores vs.5 (4-5)scores](P <0.001).The second stage prolonged [50 (29-82) min vs.38 (24-62)min](P =0.001)and intrapartum hemorrhage increased [200 (100-250)ml vs. 1 50 (100-200)ml](P =0.003)in group P.There were no significant differences between the two groups with regard to the delivery mode (P =0.656)and the morbidity of postpartum hemorrhage (9.8% vs.10.9%,P =0.697).Analgesic protocol with background infusion was not associated with postpartum hemorrhage,instrumental delivery risk and cesarean risk.Conclusion Epidural labor an-algesia with continuous background infusion provided more effective analgesia in nulliparas,without additional obstetric risk.
