1.Exploring laser and lucentis treatment of diabetic retinopathy
China Medical Equipment 2015;(5):78-80,81
Objective: To analysis the effects of laser and lucentis treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Methods:Fifty-three patients with DR were treated with laser and lucentis in our hospital from October 2012 to October 2013 as observer group. Forty-nine patients with DR were treated with laser in our hospital from September 2011 to September 2012 as control group. Results:The results indicated that visual acuity improved rate was 67.9%and decreased vision rate was 13.2% in observer group. Vision conditions in the observation group was better than that in the control group with significant difference (x2=4.60, x2=3.87; P<0.05). Simultaneously, improve time of hemorrhage, exudates, edema and macular thickness in the observation group was better than that in the control group with significant difference (t=4.17, t=3.92, t=4.06; P<0.05). Conclusion: The laser and lucentis treatment of diabetic retinopathy can significantly improving symptoms of retinal and promoting visual recovery.

Objective To explore the application and problems of using high pressure injection combine detaining needle in cere‐bral thrombosis on CT angiography in rabbit models .Methods 38 rabbit models were divided to experimental group and control group (19 cases each) .Rabbits in the experimental group were injected contrast medium into rabbit ear marginal vein with detaining needles and connected high pressure injection and the control group used intravenous infusion combined high pressure injection . Then observe the CT image quality and infusion outcome in two groups .Results There were 18 cases (94 .74% ) in the experimen‐tal group obtained successful infusion and excellent image quality ,and 13 cases (68 .42% ) in the control group got excellent image , the difference has statistical significance (Z = - 2 .099 ,P = 0 .036) .All of the images of experimental group showed thrombosis clearly .Conclusion High pressure injection combine detaining needle on CT angiography can increase test efficiency ,simplify the operation sequence and achieve evaluating goals .

Chemerin is a cytokine that attracts much attention in the reproductive process. This study aimed to explore the effects of chemerin and its receptor chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) on the maintenance of early pregnancy. The expression levels of chemerin and CMKLR1 in the decidua tissues of 20 early normal pregnant women and 20 early spontaneous abortion women were examined by Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses. CMKLR1 receptor antagonist (α-NETA) was then intrauterinely injected into normal pregnant mice model to assess its effect on the outcome of pregnancy and the phosphorylation rate of ERK1/2 in decidua tissues.We found that the expression level of chemerin in women who had experienced early spontaneous abortion was lower than in those who had experienced normal early pregnancy (P < 0.01); conversely, CMKLR1 expression was higher in the former than in the latter (P < 0.01). In a pregnant-mouse model, the embryo resorption rate of α-NETA group was higher than that in the negative control group (61.5% vs. 10.8%) (P < 0.001). Compared with the control group, ERK1/2 phosphorylation in decidua tissues decreased in the α-NETA-treated group (P < 0.01). These results suggested that the inhibition of the chemerin/CMKLR1 signaling pathway can lead to the abortion of mouse embryos, and that chemerin/CMKLR1 may play an important role in the maintenance of early pregnancy possibly by regulating ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
