AlM: To study the relationship of retinal associated lesions and postoperative visual acuity of cataract phacoemulsification.
METHODS:From February 2013 to February 2014, 120 cases with given cataract phacoemulsification were divided into observation group and control group. Cases in observation group were with of retinal associated lesions, those in control group were without retinal associated lesions. The best corrected visual acuity, ision acuity, visual evoked potential, intraocular pressure were compared between two groups.
RESULTS:Two weeks after surgery, visual acuity in observation group was higher than those of before therapy. Visual acuity recovery rate of observation group was significantly slower than that of control group; best corrected vision, visual acuity in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group;observation group's amplitude (12. 01±4. 50ü V) was significantly lower than control group, incubation period (114. 29±11. 32ms) was significantly higher than control group; After 6, 12, 24h, intraocular pressure (23. 64 ± 4. 28, 24. 12 ± 5. 13 and 18. 28± 3. 22mmHg) were significantly higher than control group.
CONCLUSlON: Retinal associated lesions can lead to visual evoked potential change, elevated lOP, affect postoperative visual recovery level.

At present, a number of scientific research achievements has been formed. Scientific achievement is the crystallization of great efforts from scientific workers, and it's also the valuable treasure of human civilization. Standardization is an important way to promote the international communication of Chinese medicine, and it's significant in boosting China's scientific and technological progress, improving market competitiveness and promoting international trade. Transformation of scientific research to the guideline is not only beneficial to improving the technology content of the standard, but also to the conversion from scientific research achievements into productivity. Therefore, only by absorbing the advanced scientific and technological achievements, reproducing the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and medical technology in standard form, can make TCM keep pace with the times. This study preliminarily explores for the method to transform scientific research achievements into guideline, in order to provide reference for the future technical specifications, thus to further the development of TCM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effectiveness of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) of damp-phlegm constitution treated with embedding therapy on back-shu points and front-mu points and needle-pricking therapy on Sifeng (EX-UE 10).

METHODSEighty-five patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of observation group (42 cases) and control group (43 cases). Embedding therapy on back-shu points and front-mu points and needle-pricking therapy on Sifeng (EX-UE 10) were applied to the observation group. Points such as Zhongwan (CV 12), Guanyuan (CV 4), Tianshu (ST 25), Zhangmen (LR 13), Jingmen (GB 25), Qimen (LR 14), Ganshu (BL 18), Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Dachangshu (BL 25) and Xiaochangshu (BL 27), etc. were adopted for embedding therapy. At the same time, needle-pricking therapy on Sifeng (EX-UE 10) was also applied once a week. 0. 5 g metformin hydrochloride tablet was given to the control group, once a day for the first week, and twice a day from the second week. Estimation on therapeutic effect was made for both groups after 3 months treatment. Change of symptoms and signs scores, fasting insulin (FINS), 2 hour insulin after meal (2hINS) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) of both groups before and after treatment were observed, and therapeutic effect estimated.

RESULTSThe total effective rate of the observation group is 97. 6% (41/42), and that of the control group was 95. 4% (41/43). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). Scores of symptoms and signs after treatment were significantly improved in both groups (all P<0. 01), and the observation group was better than the control group (7.01+/-4.23 vs 8. 47+/-2. 82,P<0. 05). Compare with those before the treatment, FINS, 2hINS and HOMA-IR after the treatment were all decreased in both groups (all P<0. 05). The comparison between the two groups showed that differences of FIN had no statistic significance (P>0. 05) after the treatment, while both differences of 2hINS and HOMA-IR had statistic significance [ 2hlNS: (443. 531+/- 93. 90) pmol/L vs (621.29+/-93. 87) pmol/L ; HOMA-IR: 4. 88+/-0. 30 vs 5.06+/-0. 32, both P<0. 05]. The improvement of 2hINS and HOMA-IR in the observation group was better than that of the control group.

CONCLUSIONTreatment of PCOS of damp-phlegm constitution with embedding therapy on back-shu points and front-mu points and needle-pricking therapy on Sifeng (EX-UE 10) have positive effect, which can effectively reduce the insulin resistance, meanwhile, reduce the side-effects of western medication.

The associating rules have been widely used in traditional Chinese medical (TCM) prescription data mining research work,while Mongolian medical prescription data mining work hardly carried out.In this study,Apriori algorithm based on reduced binary matrix was adopted for the data mining of Mongolian medical prescriptions with the provision of the decision support for research and development of new drugs.Twenty-seven Mongolian medical prescriptions for He Yi disease were involved in the data mining with Apriori algorithm based on reduced binary matrix.It was found that Aquilaria agallocha,Myristica fragrans,Zhen He Yi,or Aquilaria agallocha combined with Myristica fragrans,or Zhen He Yi combined with Myristica fragrans were determined as the Mongolian drugs frequently used in He Yi disease,with 80％ confidence level and 60％ support,and two algorithms were output,[Myristica fragrans--＞Zhen He Yi,0.83] and [Aquilaria agallocha--＞Myristica fragrans,1.00].In conclusion,some potential associating rules and drugs with high frequency in the Mongolian medical prescriptions can be fast mined using Apriori algorithm based on reduced binary matrix,providing a new way for unveiling the medication rules of Mongolian medical prescriptions.

Objective To perform comparative proteomic analysis of human ovarian cancer cell lines for detecting platinum-resistance associated proteins.Methods The total proteins of two sensitive (SKOV3 and A2780)and four resistant(SKOV3/CDDP,SKOV3/CBP,A2780/CDDP and A2780/CBP) human ovarian cancer cell lines were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE).The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using image analysis software,stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue,then identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS)and database searching.The mRNA and protein levels of the differentially expressed protein which was most significant in all of the four resistant cell lines were validated by RT-PCR and western blotting,respectively.Results Five proteins were found to be significant in four cell lines. Annexin A3 and destrin were up-regulated and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADP)- dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 was down-regulated in all the four resistant samples.Glutathione transferase omega 1 had an increased expression in the other three resistant cell lines except for SKOV3/CBP in which its expression was not changed.However,cofilin 1 represented a different trend.In the two resistant sublines of SKOV3,eofilin 1 had a down-regulation,but it had an up-regulation in the cell lines induced from SKOV3.The expression of annexin A3 was up-regulated by 3-20 fold and the results of RT- PCR and western blotting showed complete consistency with that by 2-DE.Conclusions Proteomic techniques are useful to the identification of the resistance-associated proteins in ovarian cancer platinum- resistant cell lines and five candidates have been found.The five differential proteins might become hopeful candidate biomarkers for resistance.

Objective: To investigate the effect of aerosolized pulmonary surfactant (PS) on the blood oxygenation in rats with acute lung injury(ALI). Methods: Forty-three SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham group (operated only, n = 10), model group(n=10), air-NS group (inhaling aerosolized normal saline, n=10), and air-PS group (inhaling aerosolized PS[160 mg], n=13). ALI rats were induced by oleic acid(0.2 ml/kg) through jugular vein. The arterial blood gas and breathing rates were determined during the experiment in all groups. The survival rates of all groups were determined after experiments. Results: PS aerosolization led to a gradual increase of PaO2 and SaO2. Four hours after inhalation of aerosolized PS, the PaO 2 and SaO2 increased to 99.4 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and 98.2%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the air-NS group (P< 0.05). The breathing rate began to decease 0.5 h after inhalation of aerosolized PS and decreased to 100 breaths/min 4 h later, which was significantly lower than that in the air-NS group at the same time point (P<0.05). The survival rate of animals in the air-PS group was 100%, also significantly higher than that in the air-NS group (60% , P<0.05). Conclusion: Aerosolized PS through spontaneous breathing can improve the blood oxygenation, pulmonary function and survival rates of ALI rats.

Background There still is no a uniform diagnostic criteria for increasing population of dry eye.Studies showed that high tear osmotic pressure is one of causes of a variety of ocular surface discomfort,and the change of tear osmolality has been included in the definition of dry eye syndrome by Dry Eye World Study Group (DEWS) in 2007.It is very clinically significant to study the relationship of tear osmolality with dry eye.Objective This clinical trial was to study the correlation between tear osmolarity and dry eye severity based on Preferred Practice Pattern(PPP)of DEWS.Methods A descriptive study was performed.Fifty-four eyes of 54 patients with dry eye disease were asked to complete an evaluation of dry eye signs and symptoms questionnaire based on PPP.The ocular anterior segment was examined under the slit lamp biomicroscope.Cornealfluorescein staining,tear-film breakup time (BUT),Schirmer test Ⅰ (S Ⅰ t)without anesthesia were performed,and tear sample was collected for tear imageology and tear osmolarity admeasurement.The correlation between dry eye score with tear osmolarity was evaluated using Pearson linear correlation analysis.Written informed consent as obtained prior to any relevant medical procedure.Results The ratio of male and female patients was 1: 2 in this study.The negative correlations were found between tear osmolarity with S Ⅰ t or BUT(r =-0.456,-0.699,P＜0.01),and significantly positive correlations were found between tear osmolarity with tear imaging examination,corneal fluorescein staining,conjunctival hyperemia or dry eye symptom score(r=0.545,0.686,0.691,0.803,P＜0.01).Conclusions As a diagnostic method,tear osmolarity can objectively reflects dry eye severity.It can be a biomarker in dry eye severity grade when combined with clinical symptom.
