To evaluate the role and efficacy of vitrectomy in the treatment of eye injuries in children with posterior segment involvement, forty-six eyes in 45 children aged under 16 with injuries involved posterior segment treated with pars plana vitreetomy are studied retrospectively. Six eyes underwent vitreetomy only, the others combined with seleral buekling and/ or gas-fluid exchange, and rarely, silicon oil tam-ponade; Seventeen eyes with lensectomy. Thirty-four (73.91%) of the 46 eyes achieved surgical success. Of 13 (28.26%) eyes with retinal detachments, six (46.15%) achieved reatachment. The failure of surgery was mainly due to retinal detachment, which mostly characterized by anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). We conclude that pars plana vitrectomy is an important therapeutic operation for eye injury in children with posterior segment involvement. The key factor that influence the outcome of eye injury in children is the treatment of traumatic retinal deatchment.

Clinical analysis of 42 cases of scleral rupture revealed that the injures were caused by blunt objects in 42.9％ and by sharp objects in 38.1％ of the cases. The wound was mostly on the nasal side of the eye (71.43％ OD) and (78.95％ OS) with no correlation to the causes. The concurrent manifestations included hyphema (63.4％), posterior uveal or vitreous prolapse or vitreous heamorrhage (52.3％), and lens opacity or missing (over 21.4％). Enucleation was performed in 9 cases,of which 7 cases followed blunt contusion. The indications for enucleation were that the scleral wound extending posteriorly beyond the rectus muscle insertions or≥10mm in length,visual acuity≤LP, hyphema, lens dislocated or missing and vitreous heamorrhage.

Nocardia asteroides endophthalmitis is a rare and severe intraocular bacterial infection.In this paper we present the first reported ease in China,to our knowledge,of chronic suppurative endophthalmitis caused by Nocardia asteroides after ocular perforative trauma.Cases of exogenous Nocardia endophthalmitis in foreign literature are reviewed,and the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment,as well as prognosis of exogenous Nocardia endophthalmitis, are extensively discussed.

Submacular Hemorrhage (SMH) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) represents a challenging disorder for vision protection. Varied surgical interventions have been suggested in its management. The author herein reviewed some aspects related to SMH in AMD such as its risk factors, secondary damages, natural course and surgical management including different techniques,outcomes and complications.

Objective To investigate effects cytokine of rhIFN-a and their on ultrastructure of hypertrophic scar derived fibroblasts and explore its mechanism.Methods Hypertrophic scar fibroblasts cultivated in vitro were observed and analysed through transmission elextron microscope(TEM).Then the effects of rhIFN-a on biological behavior and pathological changes of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts have been determined.(Results) Compared with the control group,the experimental rhIFN-a group could be observed changes in inhibition of fibroblasts growth and proliferation with the mitochondrion swelling,its ridge dissolving and apoptosis promoting.Conclusions rhIFN-a can suppress growth and proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts and promotes apoptosis.This indicates that ,as a negative modulation factor,rhIFN-a is important in the treatment of hypertrophic scar.

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on use of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) for cartilage tissue engineering owing to their ability to differentiate into chondrocytes, which is mainly induced by growth factors (GFs). In general, GFs for chondrogenic induction come from the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. To date, the most commonly used GFs for chondrogenes is TGF-beta1/3. However, the response of hADSCs to GFs may differ significantly from that of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs). It has been reported that bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6) treatment induced TGF-beta receptor-I expression of hADSCs. It seems that these two cell populations varied strongly in their potency to undergo chondrogenesis in the same medium conditions. Here, we provide a concise review on various GFs used in chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs in vitro.

Pancreatic carcinoma is a high malignancy,as radical resection is the only cure for long-term survival.In an attempt to improve outcomes and prognosis,surgeons over the decades have employed various active surgical strategies to combat this disease.Through document analyses of radical pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head carcinoma,regional lymphadenectomy,retroperitoneal nerve dissection,and combined vessel resection,the extent and disputes about radical resection for pancreatic head carcinoma are investigated.Total mesopancreas excision appears to be a novel and promising surgical procedure for the improvement of prognosis of patients with pancreatic head carcinoma.However,further studies based on the data of larger number of patients are mandatory to raise the evidence for this surgical procedure.

Pancreatic carcinoma is a common malignancy of the digestive system,which has poor prognostic results because of its characteristics of lymphatic metastasis and perineural metastasis.Radical resection is considered as the only possible way to cure this malignant disease.As a part of the radical resection,regional lymphadenectomy has gained lots of attention,while there is no consensus regarding the extent of regional lymphadenectomy and the role of combined vessel resection.Recently,the artery-first approach and total mesopancreas excision have probed a new direction for the research of regional lymphadenectomy for pancreatic head carcinoma.

Objective:Heart rate variability (HRV) contains a lot of information concerning the cardiovascular regulation,and can be an important indicator,quantitatively reflecting of autonomic nervous function and the normal heart activity,also can play an important role in cardiovascular regulation.Therefore,HRV signals are analyzed using common HRV analysis methods.Methods:Decompose HRV signals of congestive heart failure and normal persons into 6 scales using Multi-resolution analysis.The wavelet coefficient energy is calculated,especially the frequency energy of cd3 to cd6.Results:Energy is mainly concerned in the lower band of high frequency band and low frequency band,where the energy differences between the two groups are more evidence.It's more precise compared to the result with frequency-domain analysis.Conclusions:To gain results with universal law,more different analysis methods need to be improved and lots of researches are necessary.
