AIM: To systemically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of intraocular implants for vitreous retinal surgery.METHODS: We performed a comprehensive search for studies reporting vitreous surgery with intraocular implants randomized controlled and a retrospective controlled clinical trials from China Hownet ( CNKI ), Wanfang database, and VIP literature database. Studies obtained from those database were filtered according to the criteria, and data were retrieved from eligible studies for further analysis. Then we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraocular implants using comprehensive Meta - analysis software version 2 (Biostat, Englewood, NJ).
RESULTS: In total 36 studies were recruited for our Meta - analysis, including 5 092 cases. Meta analysis showed: 1) regarding the efficacy of repairing the retinal detachment, silicone oil was a better intraocular implants than C3 F8(OR= 1. 76; 95% CI: 1. 19-2. 60, P = 0. 0047) and SF6( OR = 4. 68; 95% CI: 1. 48 - 14. 81, P = 0. 0087); 2) regarding the risk of postoperative cataract, silicone oil showed significant higher risk than BBS (OR = 3. 24; 95%CI: 2. 10-4. 99, P= 1. 09 e-7), and C3 F8(OR= 3. 03; 95% CI:1. 50 - 6. 10, P = 0. 0019 ); 3 ) regarding the risk of postoperative intraocular pressure, silicone oil showed significant higher risk than BBS (OR= 6. 74; 95% CI: 3. 38-13. 41, P= 5. 67 e-08), and C3 F8 also showed a higher risk than BBS (OR= 4. 79; 95% CI: 2. 37-9. 68, P = 1. 29 e-05). In addition, silicone oil showed significant lower risk as compared with heavy silicone oil (OR= 0. 16; 95% CI: 0. 08-0. 53, P= 0. 0026).
CONCLUSION: The intraocular implants for the treatment of retinal detachment in vitreous retinal surgery are mainly divided into two major categories, liquid and gas implants. The silicone oil, a major liquid implant, shows higher efficacy in terms of treating retinal detachment than the gas implants. However, the silicone oil is associated with a higher risk of postoperative cataract and intraocular pressure as compared with gas implants.

Aim To investigate the effect of GW0742 on the endothelial dysfunction induced by high glucose
(glucose at 55 mmol · L -1 )in isolated rat thoracic aorta and its related mechanisms.Methods The end
othelium-dependent relaxation of acetylcholine was per-formed in the absence or presence of GW0742 at differ-ent concentrations under high glucose condition.The structure of aorta was observed by HE staining.Moreo-ver,the content of NO was also measured by nitrate re-duction method.The mRNA and protein expression were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and West-ern blot,respectively.Results Compared with the control group,acetylcholine-induced vasodilatation was impaired by high glucose.Meanwhile,the structures of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells were also in-terrupted.Furthermore, the expressions of PPARβmRNA and protein reduced while the NF-κB p65 ex-pression increased significantly which occurred in par-
allel with decreasing eNOS expression and NO concen-tration (P <0.01 ).GW0742 (0.01 ,0.1 ,1 μmol· L -1 )restored the relaxation of acetylcholine in a dose-dependent manner,and reversed the mRNA and pro-tein expression of PPARβ,NF-κB p65 and eNOS,as well as NO content (P <0.01 ).Conclusion GW0742 attenuates the injury of endothelial dysfunc-tion induced by high glucose,which may be,at least partly,mediated by the up-regulation of PPARβ,then the down-regulation of NF-κB,and the activation of eNOS-NO signal pathway.

Objective:To evaluate three-stage induced membrane technique combined with anterior and posterior double-plate fixation in the treatment of a total talus defect after infection.Methods:Included in this study were 11 patients with talus infection who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2014 to December 2018. They were 8 males and 3 females, aged from 23 to 63 years (mean, 37.0 years). The infection followed re-implantation after open dislocation of total talus in 4 cases, internal fixation for open talus fracture of Gustilo type Ⅲa in 3 cases and surgery of open ankle fracture of Gustilo type Ⅲc in 2 cases, and was complicated with ankle intraarticular tuberculosis in 2 cases. The three-stage operations consisted of debridement, total talus resection, implantation of antibiotic bone cement and vacuum sealing drainage at the first stage, change of bone cement, re-debridement, wound closure or flap covering at the second stage 7 to 10 days later, and reconstruction after infection control using anterior and posterior double-plate fixation and induced membrane technique at the third stage 6 to 12 weeks later. Assessment of lower limb shortening was performed by comparing the full length of the leg between the normal and affected sides; the functions were assessed by comparing the ankle-hindfoot scores of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) between preoperation and the final follow-up.Results:The 11 patients were followed up for an average of 24.3 months (from 12.2 to 37.5 months). Superficial skin necrosis was observed in 2 patients and injury to superficial peroneal nerve in one. Absolute calcification of the autograft area was observed in all patients, leading to ankle fusion. The final follow-ups observed no significant difference in the full length of the leg between the normal and affected sides [(380.4±35.5) mm versus (376.3±32.8) mm] ( P>0.05) , a significant increase in the ankle-hindfoot AOFAS scores from preoperative 28.0±3.4 to 72.8±5.4, and a significant decrease in VAS scores from preoperative 5(5,6) to 0(0,1) (all P<0.05). Slight varus developed in 2 patients and slight ankle stiffness in 3; recurrence of infection or breakage of implants was found in none of the patients. Conclusion:Three-stage induced membrane technique combined with anterior and posterior double-plate fixation can effectively control infection of the talus, maintain the length and reconstruct the function of the lower limb after a total talus defect.

A 48-year-old man presented with a 4-day history of fever and 10-year history of papulovesicles on the face, neck, trunk and limbs which had been aggravated 10 days prior to the presentation.Skin biopsy showed a dermal infiltration of numerous small- to medium-sized atypical lymphocytes, which was mainly located around blood vessels or appendages, with the involvement of subcutaneous fat tissue and destruction of blood vessels. The infiltrating atypical cells stained positive for CD45RO, CD8, CD56, T-cell intracellular antigen-1, granzyme B, Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small nuclear RNAs (EBER), but negative for CD20, CD79a, CD3, CD4 or CD30. Cytoplasmic CD3ε was also observed in these cells. Laboratory examinations on admission revealed a progressive decrease in peripheral erythrocytes, white cells and platelets, persistent increase in serum aminotransferase and bilirubin, and decline in serum fibrinogen and hypertriglyceridemia. The B-mode ultrasound of the abdomen showed hepatosplenomegaly. Based on the above findings,the diagnosis was made as extranodal nasal type NK/T-cell lymphoma of skin complicated by hemophagocytic syndrome.
