Photodynamic therapy is the first treatment confirmed to be effective in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration in 2000,which had been introduced to China in the same year.The pathological new vessels were destructed by the singlet oxygen and oxygen free radical released by activated photosensitizer.In the next 12 years,it has been widely applied for the treatment of subfoveal and parafoveal choroidal neovascularization caused by all kinds of chorioretinal diseases.More than a treatment,it also help us to explore the pathogenesis of fundus disease,the capability to embolize the capillaries within the treating area let us not only understand the mechanism of central serous chorioretinopathy and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy,but also make it a effective cure for them.However,there are still a lot of unsolved questions such as the mechanism of photodynamic therapy,the relationship with human genomic difference,and even the development of angiogenesis.Besides with the more novel medications and strategies available,we also face the appropriate application for indications,selection of combined therapy and optimization of treatment regimens.Further investigations about the photodynamic therapy and disease and their relations from both basic and clinical study will guide us the treatment in clinic and also reveal the truth of related fundus diseases deep under the surface.

Effects of temperature and anesthesia on various excitability indexes of sciatic—peronael nerve were observed in toads. The results show that standard electrical quantity(a) changes regularly with the change of excitability. The higher excitability, the less the "a" value. But "b" in Weiss's fomula, chronaxie (Chr), rheobase (Rh), and intensity-duration curve do not indicate excitability. The time constant (RC)of the cell membrane is not related to the changes of excitability. Thus, "a" is an actual index of measuring excitability.

The problems and causes about public hospitals regulation were analyzed based on the theory of regulation incentive using the model of principal-agent.Establishing the independent regulation institution and designing the incentive compatibility system between the government and public hospitals were the strategies.All of the reform practices should be implemented to improve the public welfare and efficiency of public hospitals.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect and the application value of total mesentery excision to the rectal cancerous patients. Methods The clinical data of 67 rectal cancerous patients who received the radical resection which following the TME principle,and with a 2 ～3 years follow-up were analyzed. Results All the 67 patients received the radical resection,including 1 anastomotic fistula,3 anastomotic stenosis, neither local recurrence nor distant metastasis. Conclusion TME played an important role in preventing the local recurrence of rectal cancer, and it met the standards of surgical treatment of rectal cancer better.

We use chitosan and n -acetyl -d -glucosamine to inhibit fibroblast proliferation which was cultured in vitro. The result shows that n - acetyl - d - glucosamine: ID50=16. 35mg/L, chitosan: ID50=69. 59mg/L. We also plant the chitosan membrane to the rabbit body to test its bio-degradation. The result shows that the molecular weight of chitosan drops 17% and 6% after 25 days and 18 days, respectively. On the basis of these results, we have obtained a conclusion that we can probably use chitosan to continuously release n-acetyl -d-glucosamine which can inhibit fibroblast proliferation effectively.
