Age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) is one of the important eye diseases of the WHO present three big blindness, is one of the main blinding eye disease in people over the age of 50, people over the age of 65, about 2% of the disease caused by monocular blindness, as the population ages, AMD prevalence is increasing in our country. AMD with respect to its clinical manifestations can be divided into dry AMD and wet AMD, wet AMD is the most harmful for the vision of patients, at present there are many treatments for AMD ( mainly for wet age-related macular degeneration ) , mainly including laser treatment, drug therapy, surgical treatment, gene therapy, etc. The treatments of AMD would be illuminated in this article.

Objective To observe clinical effect of treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) in exacerbation stage with aerosol inhalation of budesonide combined with Chinese herbal enema. Methods 36 cases with COPD were randomly recurited into a control group and a treatment group. The control group was treated with routine western medicine, and the treatment group was treated with aerosol inhalation of budesonide combined with Chinese herbal enema. The clinical effect was observed in both groups, Results The total effective rate in the treatment group and the control group was 88.9% and 72.2%, respectively, showing significant difference between the two group. (P<0.05) .Conclusion The treatment of aerosol inhalation of budesonide combined with Chinese herbal enema on COPD is better than routine western medicine.

Objective: To optimize the prescription of Compound Zhizi Gel (CZG) and to optimize the prescription technology of CZG. Methods: Orthogonal test, cold-resistant and heat-resistant tests were used to optimize the prescription technology. Using spreadability, glossiness, evenness, centrifugal stability, and in vitro transdermal diffusion as indexes, other excipients of prescription were optimized. Results: The optimal CZG prescription was Carbopol 940-glycerin-propylene glycol-triethanolamine-azone (1.5%:1.5%:3%:5%:5%). Conclusion: The optimized prescription is reliable and stable. It could meet the production requirements of CZG.

Objective To review the clinical,histological and diagnostic aspects of 12 documented cases of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver(NRHL),to make this condition be understood and dealt with better. Method Twelve NRHL cases were diagnosed based on liver biopsy from 300 portal hypertension patients who had been underwent splenectomy.Imaging studies were performed as part of the diagnostic evaluation.Clinical manifestation and biochemical tests were recorded at the time of diagnosis.Management and prognosis were also reviewed.Results Most patients were complicated with autoimmune disease,6 cases were diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus and 1 was Crohn's disease and 1 suspected ulcerative colitis.Six cases were treated by prednisone and 3 cases by immunosuppressant.Eleven cases had suffered from portal hypertension.All cases had no history of viral hepatitis.Biochemical tests showed mild increase of liver enzyme and relative normal synthetic liver function.The histological finding was nodular in the hepatic parenehyma,with mild periportal fibrosis,intraportal lymphocytic infiltration,narrow and obstruction of branch of portal vein,and lack of hepatocyte necrosis.All cases were diagnosed liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension before operation.Management was directed to portal hypertension and varices bleeding with satisfactory results.Most of them keep a stable condition during the follow-up. Conclusion The NRHL was uncommon and its cause and pathogenesis was unclear,may be related with immune and hepatic blood circulation disorder.It should be considered in patients with unexplained portal hypertension and distinguished it from liver cirrhosis.Liver biopsy confirms the diagnosis.Management directed to portal hypertension may improve clinical condition.

Objective To investigate the incidence of candidal colonization and to analyze its risk factors in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Methods Throat swabs, midstream urine and anal swabs from 153 patients with CTDs and 63 healthy volunteers were collected for fungus culture. The logistic regression was completed via the software package SPSS 11.0. Results The incidence rate of candidal colonization was higher in the patients than that in the healthy controls (35.29% vs 7.59%). Of all the isolated fungus strains, the proportion of Candida albicans was the highest. The logistic regression analysis revealed that decrease of blood erythrocytes, increase of urine protein, decrease of complements such as CH50, C3 and C4 in serum, high daily dosage of corticosteroids and broad-spectrum antibiotic administration all significantly increased the risk of candidal colonization (all P 0.05). Conclusions The incidence rate of candidal colonization in patients with CTDs is higher than that in healthy controls. Avoiding the risk factors will help to decrease the incidence of candidal colonization in CTDs.

Objective To observe the effects of treating pulmonary infection of the aged people with the combination of TCM and WM.Methods A total of 120 the aged patients with pulmonary infection were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group,60 patients in each.The control group was treated with cefoperazone,sulbactam intravenously drop and inhalation of low flow oxygen(1～2L/min,2～4h,once/day),while the treatment group was added modified Xiaocaihu decoction and Shengmai injection on the basis of the control group.Both groups were treated for 14 days.Results The significant effective rate was 63.3%and 45.0%in the treatment group and the control group respectively,showing significant difference(U=0.5248,P<0.01).The effective rate was 96.7%and 83.3%in the treatment group and the control group respectively,also showing significant difference(U=0.5314,P<0.05).Conclusion It is effective to treat pulmonary infection of the aged patients with modified Xiaocaihu decoction and Shengmai decoction together with western medicine.

Objective To investigate the effect of miRNA-146a expression on the differentiations and functions of CD4 + T lymphocyte in children with psoriasis vulgaris.Methods Thirty children with psoriasis vulgaris and 30 normal controls were enrolled in this study.Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was used to detect the expression of miRNA-146a in CD4 + T lymphocytes of the peripheral blood.The CD4 + T lymphocytes were isolated from mononuclear cells prepared with Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradients centrifugation from human peripheral blood by magnetic cells sorting system.The CD4 + T lymphocytes were divided into 3 groups for the experiment:control group,miRNA-146a group,and miRNA-146a inhibitor group.The number of Th1 cells was measured by flow cytometry analysis (FACS).The protein levels and expressions of IFN-γRα were measured by using Western blot and RT-PCR,respectively.The levels of IFN-γ in culture supernatants of CD4 + T lymphocytes were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Compared with the normal control group,there was significant increase in the expression of miRNA-146a and serum level of IFN-γ in the psoriasis vulgaris group[2.43±0.94vs1.05 ±0.23,(27.69 ±7.64) ng/Lvs (9.75 ±2.81) ng/L] (t=6.651,4.237,allP＜0.01).There was a positive correlation between miRNA-146a and serum IFN-γ (r =0.837,P ＜ 0.01).However,in vitro,the number of Th1,and supernatant IFN-γ increased,and the expression of IFN-γRα protein decreased in miRNA-146a group compared with that of the control group(all P ＜ 0.01).And the miRNA-146a inhibitor could attenuate the effect of miRNA-146a effectively.Conclusions The miRNA-146a can promote differentiation and improve the function of Th1,It may play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris in children.
