Objective To study the clinical and MRI features of central pontine myelinolysis after liver transplantation.Methods 3 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation patients,displaying unconsciousness,drowsiness,reduced muscle strength of both lower extremities 3 to 21 days after the operation respectively,went through MRI scan in 2 days.Results MRI showed that symmetric long T1 and T2 signals,high-signal-intensity DWI and low-signal-intensity ADC were found in central pontine region.The cerebral cortex was involved in 2 cases,and abscess in basal ganglia appeared in 1 case.MRI examination showed that 2 cases had decreased lesion range,clear boundary and equal-signal-intensity DWI 35 days and 2 months respectively after.Conclusion MRI is valuable for the diagnosis of the patient with central pontine myelinolysis after liver transplantation.

To find a new way to treat patients with ectopic eruption of canine or impaction canine,autogenous transplantation of those teeth was explored and had good results.

0.05). In the general anesthesia group, glucose level at 10 minutes after pneumoperitoneum was significantly lower than that before anesthesia (P0.05). Conclusion Both epidural and general anesthesia can effectively inhibit the patients' stress response in laparoscopic gynecological operation.

Objective To know the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its risk factors in the elderly in Gushan Town, Fuzhou City. Methods From July to November of 2007, 4653 elderly permanent residents from 14 administrative units were selected using random cluster sampling. Results The prevalence of elderly type 2 diabetes was 11.2%. Non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that age, occupation, monthly income (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.13～1.77), family history of diabetes (OR=6.49, 95%CI: 4.62～9.10), concen- tric obesity (OR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.15～1.88) were independent risk factors for diabetes. Conclusion The type 2 diabetes prevalence rate of the elderly was higher, and the health education and interventions should be strengthened to the people who have family history of diabetes and concentric obesity.

Objective To study the advantage of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in diagnosis of complications following liver transplantation.Methods The MRI appearances were analyzed retrospectively in seventy-eight patients with postoperative complications after liver transplantation which was confirmed by operation,hepatic biopsy,angiography and cholangiography.Results The symptoms of skin and sclera jaundice,fever and belly pain were found in sixty-four patients.Liver function was abnormal in laboratory tests.Fourteen were non-symptom with normal liver function.By analyzing the MRI images,the results were found including hepatic portal vein anastomosis stenosis(n=21),hepatic arterial anastomosis stenosis(n=10),inferior vena cava anastomosis stenosis(n=1),bile duct anastomosis stenosis(n=15),bile duct non-anastomosis stenosis(n=5),transplant rejection(n=17),hepatic carcinoma recurrence(n=9).Conclusion MRI can be revealed hepatic vessels and bile ducts stenosis and dilations;it's the best device in diagnosis of complications after liver transplantation.

AIM:To find out the mean corneal spherical aberration and its changes with age in Kaifeng population.
METHODS: A total of 466 eyes of 427 Kaifeng subjects with cataract, whose age ranged from 52 to 75 years old, were divided into three groups according to the age. All the subjects were included in measuring K-readings of cornea, the corneal anterior and posterior surfaces of the spherical aberration and the total corneal spherical aberration using Pentacam(Oculus, Germany) at the 6-mm optical zone.
RESULTS:The mean corneal spherical aberration( CSA) of the whole groups was 0. 339±0. 153μm. Patients from 50 to 60 years old had CSA of 0. 322±0. 137μm, 0. 326±0.157μm was the CSA of the patients from 60 to 70 years old, while those from 70 to 80 years old have a CSA of 0.401 ± 0. 182μm. The corneal K - readings had no correlation with the total corneal spherical aberration ( r=0. 034, P>0. 05), anterior surfaces CSA, posterior surfaces and total CSA were positively correlated with age ( r =0.253, 0. 327, 0. 233, all P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION:CSA is varied among the population and CSA of elderly in Kaifeng area are slightly higher than white people, and positively correlated with age.
