Objective To study the association of SNP of the AdipoR1 gene with T2DM in Xi’an population. Methods The amplification refractory mutation system(ARMS) analysis and gene sequencing were used to investigate the AdipoR1 gene polymorphism in 100 type 2 diabetics and 84 normal control subjects. Results (1) The genotype and allele frequencies of -106A/G, 5843A/G were not significantly different between type 2 diabetics and normal control subjects. (2) The diagnosis age of diabetics was significantly younger in AdipoR1 5843GG genotype group than in other genotype groups. Conclusions The data implicate that the AdipoR1 gene -106A/G and 5843A/G polymorphism may be not associated with pathogenesis of T2DM. AdipoR1 5843 GG genotype may be associated with the earlier diagnosis of T2DM

Objective To investigate the causes and therapy of complications of microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS). Method Totally 255 cases of HFS underwent MVD in our hospital from December 2000 to March 2000. Among the cases,207 patients were followed up for more than 1 year,the occurrence and recovery of their postoperative complications were reviewed in this study. Results In this series,no patient died;cerebrospinal fluid leakage was detected in 15 patients (7.2%) in one week after the operation;facial palsy occurred in 48 cases (23.2%);hearing deficit was shown in 20 patients (9.7%);and tinnitus was found in 12 cases (5.8%). The patients were followed up for 1 to 7.3 years with a mean of (4.2?2.7) years,during the period,none of the cases had cerebrospinal fluid leakage or intracerebral infection,and the cases who had facial palsy and tinnitus recovered completely;only 10 patients remained hearing deficit (including unilateral deaf in 6) during the follow-up.Conclusion Cerebrospinal fluid leakage,facial palsy,hearing deficit,tinnitus are the major complications of MVD,among which cerebrospinal fluid leakage,facial palsy,and tinnitus can be improved after treatments,but hearing deficit is non-reversible.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of small gauge vitrectomy (SGV) treatment for proliferative diabetic tractional (PDR) with retinal detachment (TRD).Methods The data of 42 patients (50 eyes) with PDR combined with TRD who had received SGV treatment were retrospectively analyzed.There were 22 males and 20 females,with an average age of (44.5±11.2) years.There were 16 eyes with TRD involving the macular area,34 eyes without TRD involving the macular area.The eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or retinal hole were excluded.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was worse than finger counting in 18 eyes,worse than 0.1 in 15 eyes,0.1-0.3 in 16 eyes and better than or equal to 0.3 in 1 eye.Post operative tamponade was delivered for patients with iatrogenic retinal breaks,including 5 eyes with long acting gas and 7 eyes with silicone oil.The mean follow-up time was 9.7 months.The visual outcome,rate of retinal reattachment and complications were analyzed.Results The visual acuity improved in 34 eyes (68.0％),unchanged in 12 eyes (24.0％) and decreased in 4 eyes (8.0％).The difference of visual acuity before and after surgery was statistically significant (t=7.087,P＜0.01).The total rate of retinal reattachment was 96％,and 84％ of eyes achieved anatomic reattachment after single surgery.The rate of retinal reattachment was 89.5％ (34/38) for these eyes without iatrogenic retinal breaks,4/38 eyes without iatrogenic retinal breaks still had retinal detachment in 3 months after surgery and received tamponade of long-acting gas or silicone oil.The rate of retinal reattachment was 66.7 ％ (8/12) for these eyes with iatrogenic retinal breaks and received post-operative tamponade.There were 17 eyes experienced postoperative vitreous hemorrhage,which were treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies or vitreous cavity lavage.There were 9 eyes with transient ocular hypertension,and 4 eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG).Among 4 eyes with NVG,2 of which were controlled through anti VEGF treatment or laser treatment,and 2 eyes of 2 patients refused to have further treatment.Conclusion SGV is safe and effective treatment for PDR combined with TRD,and intraocular tamponade is not necessary in the absence of iatrogenic retinal break.

BACKGROUND: Buqi tongluo prescription, which is characterized by invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, dredging collaterals and dispersing stagnation, promoting tissue regeneration, and promoting blood circulation to remove obstruction in the collateral, can promote blood circulation at local injured part and ameliorate nutrien of nerve so as to accelerate axonal regeneration of peripheral nerve and functional recovery of nerve conduction.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of buqi tongluo prescription of various agents on recovery of nerve function after peripheral nerve injury and compare the results with the combination of vitamin B1 and B6.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics of the First Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS: A total of 48 Wistar rats of confined clean grade were selected in this study. After modeling on right sciatic nerve, rats were randomly divided into buqi tongluo capsule group, buqi tongluo parenteral solution group, vitamin group and blank group with 12 in each group.METHODS: All rats were cut their right sciatic nerve laterally, and then anastomosis in situ was used immediately to establish models of peripheral nerve injury. Administration began on the third day after operation once a day. ① Rats in buqi tongluo capsule group were perfused with powder of buqi tongluo capsule (including huangqi, renshen, danggui, chuanxiong and danshen which was diluted with saline) of 0.9 g/(kg·d) raw drugs (ig). ② Rats in buqi tongluo parenteral solution group were injected with 0.9 g/(kg·d) buqi tongluo parenteral solution (ip). ③ Rats in vitamin group were perfused with 15 mg/(kg·d) suspension (1.5 g/L) of vitamin B1 and B6.④ Rats in blank group were perfused with 0.01 mL/g saline.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Four rats from each group were selected for 4, 8 and 12 week time points after administration to record bilateral nerve conduction velocity. Recovery rate was regarded as the ration between nerve conduction velocity at the injured side and nerve conduction velocity at the normal side.RESULTS: A total of 48 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① At each time point, nerve conduction velocity in two buqi tongluo prescription groups were faster than that in vitamin group and blank group (P ＜ 0.05, 0.01), and that in vitamin group was faster than that in blank group (P ＜ 0.05). ②At each time point, recovery rate of nerve conduction velocity in two buqi tongluo prescription groups was higher than that in vitamin group and blank group (P ＜ 0.05, 0.01), and that in vitamin group was higher than that in blank group (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Both buqi tongluo capsule and buqi tongluo parenteral solution can promote recovery of nerve function after peripheral nerve injury, and the effect is superior to that of vitamin B1 and B6.

The patient is an 11-year old boy, who was born with universe alopecia as well as dry and coarse skin. When he was 3 months old, photophobia was noticed, and since then, upper respiratory tract infection had occurred twice a month complicated by frequent diarrhea. He had short stature with slight conjunc- rival congestion, corneal vascularization, opacity, coarseness and poor vision. No abnormality was found in the teeth, sweating ability, or hearing. He had universal alopecia; his skin was dry and rough with generalized rhombus- or polygon-shaped scaly patches. Particularly thick brown scales were observed on the upper limbs. Moreover, there were spiny follicular papules on the abdomen and axillae, hyperkeratosis of palm and sole, and dystrophic nails. Hyperextensibility of proximal interphalangeal joints of the third, fourth and fifth fingers was noticed. He also suffered from mental retardation, the verbal intelligence quotient being 52, performance intelligence quotient lower than 40, full intelligence quotient lower than 40, but no abnormality was found in the heart, lung, liver or spleen. Histopathology of skin on the abdomen suggested a change characteristic of ichthyosis. Chromosome analysis revealed a karyotype of 46, XY. This is the first diagnosed case of ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia syndrome in China.
