Objective To observe the characteristics of multifocal eletrotetinogram (mfERG) in nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and its relationship with visual acuity and macular central retinal thickness (CRT).Methods By means of patients self-contrast analysis.40 patients (40 eyes) with NAION were collected underwent the examinations of best corrected visual acuity, fundus color photography, fundus fluorescein angiography and field of vision.All the disease and normal eyes had underwent the examination of frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (fdOCT) and mfERG.The CRT and retinal thickness about perifovea, parafovea were documented with fdOCT.All patients underwent the retinal macular function exam with mfERG.Centered by macular fovea, the reaction zone were divided into 5 rings from inside to outside by circles, ring 1 0.00°, ring 2 5.44°, ring 3 10.31°, ring 4 16.31°, ring 5 23.42°.Treated ring 1 hexagon as macular center the amplitude densities of P1 wave, the amplitude of P1 and N1 wave, and the latencies of P1and N1 wave at cvcry ring were observed.The relationship between mfERG characteristics and visual acuity or CRT were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results fdOCT revealed that there was significantly statistical difference in the retinal thickness about perifovea between disease eyes and contralateral eyes (P＜＜0.05).The increase of CRT and retinal thickness about parafovea had no significantly statistical difference between diseases eyes and contralateral eyes (P＞0.05).mfERG revealed that the decrease of amplitude densities about P1 wave at ring 1 to 2 had significantly statistical difference between two groups (P＜0.05);there were no significantly statistical difference in the amplitude densities of P1 wave at ring 3 to 5;the decrease of amplitude about P1 and N1 wave at ring 1 had significantly statistical difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significantly statistical difference in the amplitude of P1 and N1wave at ring 2 to 5, the latencies of P1 and N1 wave at ring 1 to 5 (P＞0.05).The correlation analysis revealed that the amplitude densities and amplitude of P1 wave at ring 1, amplitude of N1 wave at ring 1 had no effect on visual acuity (r=0.087,0.195,-0.134;P＞0.05) and CRT(r=-0.154,0.365, 0.412;P＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with contralateral eyes,the disease eyes were significantly decrease in amplitude densities of P1 wave at ring 1 to 2, amplitude of P1 and N1 wave at ring 1.There are no correlated between the amplitude densities of P1 wave at ring 1,amplitude of P1 and N1 wave at ring 1 and visual acuity or CRT.

Objective To analyze the significance of levels and combined detection of plasma homocysteine(Hcy),high-sensitivity C reactive protein(hs-CRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) in patients with ischemic cerebral stroke(ICS).Methods A total of 140 patients with ICS were selected into ICS group,and 100 healthy individuals were recruited in the control group.The plasma levels of Hcy,hs-CRP,Lp-PLA2 were examined,then the positive rates of them were statistically analyzed.Analyzed the value of the levels and joint detection of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2.Results The plasma levels and the positive rates of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 in ICS group were statistically higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of combined detection of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 in diagnosis of ICS was 0.949,the sensitivity was 0.850,and the specificity was 0.807,which were higher than Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 alone.Conclusion The plasma levels of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 increase in ICS patients,and the combined detection of the three indicators might improve the early diagnostic value of ICS.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 27 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STR) loci included in Yfiler(R) Plus kit in Han population of Chaoshan area,and explore the population genetic relationships and evaluate its application value on forensic medicine.Methods By detecting 795 unrelated Chaoshan Han males with Yfiler(R) Plus kit,haplotype frequencies and population genetics parameters of the 27 Y-STR loci were statistically analyzed and compared with available data of other populations from different races and regions for analyzing the genetic distance and clustering relation of Chaoshan Han population.Results Seven hundred and eighty-seven different haplotypes were observed in 795 unrelated male individuals,of which 779 haplotypes were unique,and 8 haplotypes occurred twice.The haplotype diversity (HD) was 0.999975 with discriminative capacity (DC) of 98.99％.The gene diversity (GD) at the 27 Y-STR loci ranged from 0.3637(DYS391) to 0.9559(DYS385a/b).Comparing with Asian reference populations,the genetic distance (Rst) between Chaoshan Han and Guangdong Han was the smallest (0.0036),while it was relatively larger between Chaoshan Han and Gansu Tibetan population (0.0935).The multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plot based on Rst values was similar to the results of clustering analysis.Conclusion Multiplex detection of the 27 Y-STR loci reveals a highly polymorphic genetic distribution in Chaoshan Han population,which demonstrates the important significance of Yfiler(R) Plus kit for establishing a Y-STR database,studying population genetics,and for good practice in forensic medicine.

Objective To evaluate the preventive effects of Haishe capsules on the conversion of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) to Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods Patients (n=120) with aMCI from our department were recruited and randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group (n=60 in each group).The treatment group was given 0.9 gram of Haishe capsules three times a day while the control group received no drug treatment.Data on the conversion ratio,memory and cognitive function were comparedbetween the groups in a 24-months follow-up.Results By the end of the study,12 patients in the treatment group and 15 in the control group dropped out.Valid data for 93 patients were available for statistical analysis (48 in the treatment group and 45 in the control group).The number of aMCI patients who converted to AD was 6,with a conversion ratio of 12.5％ (6/48);and the number of patients who went through conversion in the control group was 13,with a conversion ratio of 28.8％ (13/45).The difference in conversion between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =3.83,P＜0.05).After 24 months,MMSE scores for the treatment group (25.52± 1.07) had no significant change compared with baseline levels,while MMSE scores for the control group decreased significantly(24.75--1.49) and were markedly lower than thosefor the treatment group (t=2.85,P＜0.05).MoCA scores for the treatment group (19.39 ±2.01) did not show decline until the end of the study,while those for the control group started to decrease about half way through the study and were lower than scores for the treatment group (t =2.41,P＜0.05).Compared with baseline levels,ADAS-Cogscores for the treatment group (7.62± 1.06) did not increase significantly during the course of the study.ADAS-Cogscores forthe control group were higher at both half way (7.70±0.75) and the end of the study (8.18±0.80)than base line levels,and there was a statistically significant difference in end-of-study ADAS-Cog scores between the two groups(t =-2.6,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Haishe capsules not only effectively maintain memory and cognitive function,but also delay the conversion from aMCI to AD.

Objective To study the effects of binary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) composed of hospital-based and home-based CR in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) evaluated by six-minute walking distance (6MWD). Methods A total of 38 post-MI patients were divided into two groups, namely conventional CR group (n=20) and binary CR group (n=18). In the first seven days, CR training was carried out in all 38 patients in our hospital, and then 20 patients were kept at CR training in the hospital (hospital-based CR group), whereas the remaining 18 patients (binary CR group) got tele-monitored walking training at home for eight weeks (binary model). Before discharge from hospital based CR or after 8 weeks CR at home, all patients received Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Six-minute Walk Test, and the data of patients' body mass index (BMI),thyroid function, serum lipid metabolism and echocardiography were collected before and after CR. Results After CR, BMI and low density lipoprotein (LDL) decrease in both groups compared with those before CR[hospital-based group: BMI, (25.99±3.36)kg/m2 vs. (23.04±3.72) kg/m2,P＜0.05; LDL, (3.40±1.38) mg/dl vs. (2.04±0.73)mg/ dl,P＜0.01; binary group: BMI, (24.84±2.70) kg/m2 vs. (22.88±2.56) kg/m2,P＜0.05; LDL, (3.40±1.01) mg/dl vs. (92.11±0.37) mg/dl,P＜0.01]. After 8 weeks CR at home or hospital based CR until discharge, the anaerobic threshold (AT), maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max),metabolic equivalent (MET) and 6MWD improved significantly in both groups compared with those at 7 days after CR in hospital [Hospital-based group: AT, (12.37±1.53) mL/(kg. min) vs. (14.77±1.57) mL/(kg. min); VO2max (17.87± 1.66 mL/(kg. min) vs. (20.73±2.14) mL/(kg. min); MET (5.02±0.36) vs. (6.09±0.53); 6MWD (500±53.36) m vs. (582.5±57.6) m,P＜0.01; Binary group: AT, (12.56±1.11) mL/(kg·min) vs. (14.30±1.23) mL/(kg. min); V02max, (17.28±1.38) mL/(kg. min) vs. (20.02±1.37) mL/(kg. min); MET, (5.07±0.47)vs (5.94±0.46); 6MWD,(511.4±50.96) m vs. (590.3±56.1)m,P＜0.01]. There was no significant difference in CR effects observed between two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions In post-MI patients,a binary model of CR training improved physical capacity and was a similarly effective form of CR as a entirely hospital-based approach. A home-based tele-monitored program facilitated patients' adherence to CR. The 6 minute walk experiment is economical and good evaluation on the CR effect of binary cardiac rehabilitation.

Objective: The present study examined the effects of surgical and conservative treatment on the curative effect of patients with condylar fracture to determine the best treatment scheme and indication. Methods : A total of 339 clinical cases of condylar fracture were selected, and pain severity, degree of mouth opening, angle of condylar fracture (calculated as the difference in the angle of the condylar between the fractured side and uninjured side) and the height of the mandibular ramus (calculated as the difference in the height of the mandibular ramus between the fractured side and uninjured side) of patients at admission were measured and analyzed. The effects of surgical treatment (rigid internal fixation) and conservative treatment (functional therapy) were evaluated and compared 6 months after treatment. Results : Among the patients with a condylar fracture displacement angle ≥ 11.50°, Significantly more (χ2= 26.38, P < 0.05) patients exhibited good recovery 6 months after surgical treatment [69.4% (118/170)] than those after conservative treatment [35.4% (29/82)]. Among the patients with a condylar fracture displacement angle < 11.50°, there was not a significant difference (χ2= 0.55, P > 0.05) between the numbers of patients who exhibited good recovery 6 months after surgical treatment [52.4% (22/42)] and conservative treatment [44.4% (20/45)]. Among the patients with mandibular ramus height ≥ 4.19 mm, significantly more (χ2= 20.35, P < 0.05) patients exhibited good recovery 6 months after surgical treatment [64.7% (112/173)] compared with those after conservative treatment [35.6% (32/90)]. Among the patients with mandibular ramus height < 4.19 mm, there was not a significant difference (χ2= 0.21, P > 0.05) between the numbers of patients who exhibited good recovery 6 months after surgical treatment [46.7% (14/30)] and conservative treatment [41.3% (19/46)]. Conclusion Patients with a displacement angle of condyle fracture greater than 11.50° and a mandibular ramus height less than 4.19 mm exhibit the greatest pain and a better effect from surgical treatment than those from conservative treatment.
