Objective To seak a available way of evaluating morphology of filtering blebs after trabeculectomy is very important for forecasting the successful rate of surgery.At the present time,filtering blebs were commonly evaluated by using the slim lamp microscope,but it did not to exactly reflect the filtering passage.This study aimed to evaluate the morphology of filtering blebs after trabeculectomy with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).MethodsThis was a prospective study.Sixty-nine eyes of 53 patients who had previously undergone trabeculectomy were selected in this study,including 25 eyes with open-angle glaucoma,38 eyes with close-angle glaucoma and 6 eyes with secondary glaucoma.These filtering blebs were classified into functional type (typeⅠandⅡ) and nonfunction type (type Ⅲ and Ⅳ) under the slit lamp microscope based on the van Buskirk grading scales.Intra-bleb morphology and structure were characterized as diffuse-like,cystic-like,encapsulating-like and flatten-like by AS-OCT in reference to the Leung method.The consistency between the two methods was evaluated by the Chi-Square test.Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients before surgery.ResultsThe average follow-up time was 10.78±11.0 months.All the patients finished the examination during the follow-up duration.The average intraocular pressure was(14.9±4.5)mmHg during the observation period.There were 38/69 (55.1%) functioning blebs and 31/69 (44.9%) non-function blebs under the slim lamp microscope.AS-OCT imaging showed diffuse-like blebs in 26 eyes (15.9%),cystic-like blebs in 11 eyes (27.5%),encapsulating-like blebs in 19 eyes (18.8%) and flatten-like in 13 eyes with the intraocular pressure of(13.16±3.77)mmHg,(15.36±2.92)mmHg,(15.77±5.07)mmHg and (16.62±5.33)mmHg,respectively,showing a significant difference among them (F=3.32,P＜0.05).These patterns of different OCT presented a good consistency with the clinical outcome (χ~2=0.03,P=0.86).ConclusionAS-OCT allows the observation of filtering blebs after glaucoma surgery.It is probably to visualize the internal structure of filtering bleb and deep sclerectomy.Functional and dysfunctional filtering blebs delivery gives different OCT patterns.This could be a new way to assess the postoperative healing process.

Objective To investigate the association between the systolic/diastolic orthostatic hypotension (OH-S/OH-D) and myoeardial infarction (MI) in the elderly.Methods Health screening physical examination were carried in 1081 subjects without MI aged over 65 years in Guangzhou Military region.The orthostatic blood pressure and heart rate were measured in supine position after resting for more than 5 minutes and at 0 and 2 minutes after standing.All the cases were divided into systolic or diastolic group on the basis of definition of orthostatic hypotension and followed up by telephone or inpatient medical records with mean period of 315.8 days.The primary endpoint was MI occurrence.Results The prevalence of OH in this cohort was 24.5％ ( OH-S/OH-D:19.3％/17.2％ ).Significant differences in the occurrence of OH and OH-S were found in the elderly and the very elderly subjects( ≥80 years) (26.1％ vs 20.1％,P=0.045; 21.0％ vs 14.6％,P =0.018),while no difference was found in OH-D.The prevalence of MI in the OH positive subjects was significantly higher than that in the OH negative subjects,as well as in OH-S or OH-D group.After adjustment of age,supine blood pressure,creatinine and cerebrovascular history by logistic regression,the association was observed between MI and OH ( HR 15.635,95 ％ CI 3.299-74.091,P=0.001),OH-S(HR 8.760,95％CI2.487-30.851,P=0.001)and OH-D(HR 3.889,95％ CI 1.097-13.790,P =0.035 ).Conclusion OH-S and OH-D hypotension are robust predictors for MI in the elderly.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of trabeculectomy combined with Schlemm canal suture implantation in patients POAG). Design Retrospective, noncomparative case series. Participants 11 patients (19 eyes)with POAG. Methods Two layers of scleral flap were made and the deeper one was dissected. The outer wall of Schlemm canal was cut away. 6-0 nylon thread was implanted between the two cut ends of the canal. Penetrating trabeculectomy was performed and followed with peripheral iridectomy. Superficial scleral flap was sutured. Main Outcome Measures The postoperative observation included intraocular pressure (IOP), formation of the anterior chamber, inflammatory reaction, visual acuity, complications and situation of filtering bleb. Results The mean postoperative follow-up period was 18.05?12.78 months (ranging from 6 to 48 months). There was significant statistical difference between preoperative and postoperative IOPs(31.23?9.72mmHg VS 15.11?6.13mmHg) (t=6.769, P=0.000). The postoperative investigation of IOP for 11 cases (19 eyes) after using medicine showed that IOP≥22mmHg only 1 case. The efficiency was 94.74%. Filtering blebs formed in 6 cases (8 eyes)(42.11%), including the case with IOP≥22mmHg. There was no significant difference in change of preoperative and postoperative IOP in patients with or without filtering blebs with t-test (t=-1.662, P=0.071). The anterior chamber formed well in each case postoperatively. Hyphemia appeared in 4 eyes (21.05%). Hypertonia oculi (IOP≥22mmHg) and hypotonia oculi (IOP≤6mmHg) appeared occasionally in 3 eyes(15.78%) and 11 eyes(57.89%) respectively. Postoperatively,no fibrinous exudates in anterior chamber, choroidal detachment and other complications occurred in any case. Conclusions The control of IOP appears to be good after the surgery of trabeculectomy combined with Schlemm canal suture implantation. It is a promising approach for glaucoma and good with fewer postoperative complications, easier postoperative management and deserve further development.

Objective To elucidate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter closure of secondary atrial septal defect (ASD) with Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) in people over 50 years of age. Methods Retrospective comparison of 41 patients (14 males, 27 females) with ASD over 50 years of age ranging from 50 to 75(mean age 55.5?7.6, elder group) was conducted with 132 patients younger than 50 years(control group). After diagnosis of ASDs and evaluation of pulmonary artery systolic pressure and right atrial and ventricular dimensions by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), all patients underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for complete assessment of ASD size, margins and anatomic relationship of the defect before closure of ASD. Each case was treated with ASO through the percutaneous transcatheter procedure under fluoroscopy and TTE or TEE. Early follow up(3 months) by echo was taken after the intervention. Results There was no difference of mean defect diameter measured by TEE and the balloon-stretched defect diameter of the ASDs between 2 groups. Pulmonary artery pressures in elder group were higher than those in younger group(P

OBJECTIVE:To explore the genome-wide methylation differences between coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and healthy volunteers,and to investigate the relationsip of DNA methylation with CHD from epigenetics. METHODS:In case-control study,subjects were divided into CHD group(50 cases)and health control group(50 cases). DNA of 2 groups were sequenced with methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing technology. The genome-wide methylation differences were analyzed and compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The number of methylation peak in CHD group was higher than health group,with statistical signfi-cance(P<0.05). The methylation peak mainly distributed in 5'UTR,Intron functional elements. The number of reads in AQP1,SHB and other gene promoters in CHD group were lower than health group,and its methylation level decreased. The number of reads in GRK5 and serveal gene promoters on chrX in CHD group were higher than helath group,and its methylation level increased,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The genome-wide methylation level of CHD patients are higher than those of healthy volunteers. The occurence of CHD is possibly associated with the change of methylation level of related gene promoters.

OBJECTIVE: To improve the dissolution rate of nitrendipine in vitro using co-grinding method.METHODS: Single-factor test was adopted to detect effect of phases of co-grinding,category of excipients (MCC,PVPk30,HPC,HPMC),time (0,10,20,30,40,50,60 min) of co-grinding and ratio of principal component to excipients (1 ∶ 1,1 ∶ 2,1 ∶ 3,1 ∶ 4,1 ∶ 5,1 ∶ 6,1 ∶ 7,1 ∶ 8,1 ∶ 9) on in vitro dissolution of nitrendipine power and tablet.RESULTS: The condition of co-grinding method was as follows: dual co-grinding phase,HPC or MCC as excipients,co-grinding time of 40 min,ratio of principal component to excipients was 1 ∶ 4.Accumulative dissolution rate of nitrendipine powder was more than 80% within 10 min and that of nitrendipine tablet was more than 80% within 40 min.CONCLUSION: Co-grinding method can improve the dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble nitrendipine in vitro under suitable condition.

The biocompatibility and osteogenic activity of allogenic decalcified bone matrix (DBM) used as a carrier for bone tissue engineering were studied. Following the method described by Urist, allogenic DBM was made. In vitro, DBM and bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) from rabbits were co-cultured for 3-7 days and subjected to HE staining, and a series of histomorphological observations were performed under phase-contrast microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In vivo the mixture of DBM/BMSC co-cultured for 3 days was planted into one side of muscules sacrospinalis of rabbits, and the DBM without BMSC was planted into other side as control. Specimens were collected at postoperative week 1, 2 and 4, and subjected to HE staining, and observed under SEM. The results showed during culture in vitro, the BMSCs adherent to the wall of DBM grew, proliferated and had secretive activity. The in vivo experiment revealed that BMSCs and undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in the perivascular region invaded gradually and proliferated together in DBM/BMSC group, and colony-forming units of chondrocytes were found. Osteoblasts, trabecular bone and medullary cavity appeared. The inflammatory reaction around muscles almost disappeared at the second weeks. In pure DBM group, the similar changes appeared from the surface of the DBM to center, and the volume of total regenerate bones was less than the DBM/BMSC group at the same time. The results indicated that the mixture of DBM and BMSC had good biocompatibility and ectopic induced osteogenic activity.
