Retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is a common pathological and physiological clinical oculopathy,which can occur in retinal artery and vein occlusion,diabetic retinopathy and acute angle-closure glaucoma.The resulting ischemia can cause cell metabolic dysfunction,serious retinal damage and descending visual function.RIRI is the result of multiple factors.The currently accepted hypotheses mainly include the injury effect of oxygen-derived free radicals,intracellular calcium overload,the action of leucocyte and apoptosis.However the protection and treatment research in the RIRI is limited.The present paper reviews the progression in the drug intervention of RIRI.

Children with plastic bronchitis,characterized by unknown origin,insidious onset,rapid progress,severe symptom and high mortality,is a relatively rare disease.Also,it is difficult to diagnose and treat with plastic bronchitis characterized by marked airway obstruction,via the formation of large gelatinous or rigid airway cast.It is associated with certain diseases including bronchial asthma,cystic fibrosis,accompanied with acute chest syndrome with sickle cell disease,congenital heart disease and bacterial and viral respiratory infection.Clinicians should be aware of this disease,and early bronchoscopy should be intervened.

Fatigue is one of the most common complaints in cancer patients that profoundly affects all aspects of quality of life.However,cancer-related fatigue remains under recognized and poorly treated.This rcview has been conducted with the causes and potential treatments of fatigue in cancer patients.The methods for evaluating fatigue,and possible therapeutic options are also discussed.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of DNA haploid analysis for malignant degree and prognosis assessment of breast carcinoma. Methods Highclarity Colourful Pathological Analysis System-1000( HPIAS-1000) was used to analyze the DNA haploid of 120 breast carcinoma patients who had been followed up for more than 5 years. All patients were divided into three groups according to histology. 48 advanced differentiation cases, 44 middle differentiation cases and 28 low differentiation cases. Then DNA haploid analysis was made,that is diploid(2C) ,3 - 4C,aneuploid(AN). Results Except for 3 -4C,there were significant differences betweenⅠandⅡgrade ,ⅡandⅢgrade,ⅠandⅢgrade( P

Idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor(IOIP) is a common orbital disease.It is a nonspecific inflammatory process,and the etiology is still unknown.IOIP occurs at any position of orbit.The clinical manifestation varies according to the anatomic involvement and the degree of inflammation progress.IOIP can clinically mimic many other orbital diseases,especially serious type of this disease can present similar clinical characteristics as the malignant tumor,so it is comprehensive to make a clinical diagnosis.Currently,the diagnosis of IOIP is allowed based on the differentiation from an exclusion of other diseases by a thorough medical history and clinical manifestations,and then acquire some assistant information by radiologic evaluation and laboratory tests and observe the response to steroid treatment.The final diagnosis still requires histopathological examination.

The appearance of the school of confluence of western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine in modern times, the combination of western and Chinese medicine after liberation, and the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine in recent years have exerted great influence on the development of the theory of TCM.

The pathogenic basis of degenerative retinal diseases is structural and functional abnormality of neuron of retina.The irreversible damage of visual function is the unfortunate results of degenerative retinal diseases,and some effective treating approach to these blindness eye diseases is still in expectation.In recent years,stem cells replacement therapy is increasingly developed and is a prospective way for degenerative retinal diseases.But some formidable challenges for successfully grafting cells to the retina are waiting for further solving,such as migration,survival,and differentiation of the stem cells etc.Recent studies showed that retinal tissue engineering technique may be a good alternation to address all the problems mentioned above.The current advances in stem cell and tissue engineering retina researches,including selectable seed cells,appropriate scaffold materials and transferring method in vivo,are reviewed in this paper.

Beginning from the tradition branch course obstacle analyzing on college student' practice ability,to define the effect and study domain and key problem about curriculum integration on practice ability cultivation can provide one kind of clear train of thought for the college curriculum adapting even surpassing the demand of this society.

The pattern/symptom differentiation system in acupuncture treatment is lack of the unique characteristics and advantages in theory and clinical practice and it just rigidly adopts the methods of pattern/symptom differentiation of the other disciplines in TCM. In fact, it is necessary to have the unique and more practical theoretic system to guide acupuncture treatment. According to the characteristics of acupuncture in diagnosis and treatment, the acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination becomes the law of acupuncture treatment. The acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination is the expression to concretize the diagnosis and treatment of disease under the guidance of pattern/syndrome differentiation. Both of them are originated from the general principles of TCM and for the particular disciplines of TCM. The acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination benefits the promotion and application of acupuncture.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of diabetic foot (DF) and the normal,high and low ankle brachial index (ABI) in type 2 diabetic patients and explore the risk factor for abnormal ABI and the clinical predictive value for DF.Methods A total of 2681 type 2 diabetic patients who visited our hospital between January,2007 to December,2009 were enrolled in the study.The clinical data were analyzed and the risk factors for abnormal ABI were determined by logistic regression analysis.Results ABI was normal (0.9-＜ 1.3) in 2362 cases (88.1％),while below 0.9 in 277 cases (10.3％) and equal or over 1.3 in 42 cases (1.6％).The elderly patients (≥ 60 years) had a higher prevalence of low ABI than the non-elderly patients(20.41％ vs.4.10％,P ＜ 0.01).The prevalence of DF was 25.63％,3.05％,26.19％ in ABI ＜ 0.9,0.9-＜ 1.3 and ≥ 1.3 groups,respectively,and the prevalence in groups ABI ＜ 0.9 and ≥ 1.3 was higher than that in group ABI 0.9-＜ 1.3.Similar U-shape distribution was observed in the prevalence of abnormal ABI and DF.ABI was negatively correlated with age,diabetes duration,uric acid (UA),24 hours microalbuminuria,while positively correlated with body mass index (BMI),diastolic blood pressure,triacylglyceride,total cholesterol and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).Abnormal ABI was independently correlated with age,diabetes duration,HbA1c,UA,24 hours microalbuminuria,diabetic kidney disease,diabetic retinopathy,diabetic peripheral neuropathy and diabetic vascular diseases.Conclusion The prevalence of abnormal ABI is higher in the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Abnormal ABI could be an early predictor for DF.
