OBJECTIVE To investigate factors associated with postvitrectomy endophthalmitis. METHODS Cases with postvitrectomy endophthalmitis in our hospital between 2003 and 2007 were collected and retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS All 14011 cases (eyes) underwent pars plana vitrectomy and postoperative endophthalmitis happened to seven cases (eyes). The incidence of infection was 0.047%. Confirmed microbiology was demonstrated in 4 of 7 cases (57.0%),in which Gram-positive cocci were found 75.0%. 71.4% Of cases with postvitrectomy endophthalmitis were older than 60. The infection was controlled in 6 cases after antibiotic treatment. One case with diabetes and culture confirmation of Gram-negative bacilli deteriorated even after the second vitrectomy,and evisceration was finally performed. CONCLUSIONS The predominant organism is Gram-positive cocci in postvitrectomy endophthalmitis. The risk factors include increasing age,presence of systemic diseases and immunodeficiency. Timely and effective antibiotic therapy is important to restore visual acuity for postvitrectomy endophthalmitis.

METHODS:160 eyes with allergic conjunctivitis were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 80 eyes in each group. The control group was given olopatadine eye drops,and observa-tion group was additionally given H. cordata eye drops(medication interval>10 min)on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 14 days. Symptoms and signs of 2 groups were observed and scored before treatment and 14 d after treatment. Ef-fective rates of 2 groups were calculated,and the occurrance of ADR was observed. RESULTS:Compared with before treatment, symptoms and sings score of 2 groups were decreased,with statistical significance (P<0.01 or P<0.05);the decrease of two score in observation group were more significant than in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);effective rates of control group and observation group were 37.50%and 77.50%,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:H. corda-ta eye drops combined with olopatadine eye drops can ameliorate clinical symptoms and signs of allergic conjunctivitis patients sig-nificantly,and improve therapeutic efficacies without obvious ADR.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical characteristics, cell morphology, genetics, gene mutations of the patients with chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL).
Methods:
Five CNL patients from the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between May 2011 and May 2017 who conformed to 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria were retrospectively analyzed from clinical characteristics, laboratory features and treatment methods.
Results:
The peripheral blood white blood cell count (WBC) of 5 CNL patients was significantly increased, and the average WBC was 81.26×109/L [(29-217)×109/L]. Morphological analysis of peripheral blood cell showed a sustained increasing number of matured neutrophilia (0.80-0.85). Neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) activity was increased (144-266). Bone marrow cell morphology typically showed granulocyte proliferation without obvious dysplasia. Gene detection showed 3 patients with CSF3R T618I mutation and 2 patients with JAK2 V617F mutation in 5 WHO-defined CNL patients. Bone marrow biopsy with reticular staining showed that marrow fibrosis (MF) degree in patients with JAK2 V617F mutation (MF≥2) was higher than that in patients with CSF3R T618I mutation(MF<2).
Conclusions
CNL is a rare type of chronic leukemia, and CSF3R T618I mutation is a specific diagnostic index for CNL. JAK2 V617F mutations alone may be related to myelofibrosis, which remains to be further studied.
