Objective:To observe the safety of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) combined with partial anterior pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for cataract with severe vitreous hemorrhage.Methods:A retrospective case-control study. A total of 60 patients (60 eyes) with cataract and severe vitreous hemorrhage were included from June 2017 to June 2019 in Xi’an People’s Hospital (Xi’an Fourth Hospital). There were 32 males (32 eyes) and 28 females (28 eyes), with a mean age of 64.8 years. The eyes were randomly divided into intravitreal injection TA group (TA group) and non-TA injection group (control group), with 30 eyes in each group. Before phacoemulsification, 0.05-0.10 ml TA was injected into the vitreous cavity in the TA group and the vitreous besides the vitrectomy channel was removed. The eyes of the control group underwent conventional cataract phacoemulsification combined with PPV. The follow-up time after surgery was ≥6 months. The rate of success continuous circular capsulorhexis, posterior capsule rupture, and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the capsular bag were compared between the two groups. The statistical data were compared with χ2 test. Results:For all eyes in the TA group, after intravitreal injection of TA combined with partial anterior PPV, the white reflection of the fundus can clearly show the anterior and posterior capsule of the lens. Continuous circular capsulorhexis was completed, the posterior capsule was not broken, and the IOL was successfully implanted inside the capsular bag. Among the 30 eyes of the control group, 4 eyes did not complete continuous circular capsulorhexis. Radial tear occurred during capsulorhexis, and capsulorhexis was used to complete capsulorhexis. In 5 eyes with posterior capsule rupture, the posterior capsule occurred in 3 eyes during phacoemulsification, and injecting the lens cortex caused posterior capsule repture in 2 eyes; the IOL was implanted in the ciliary sulcus and the capsular bag in 4 and 1 eyes, respectively. Whether the consecutive capsulorhexis was successful ( χ2=4.286), whether the posterior capsule was ruptured ( χ2=5.455), whether the IOL was implanted in the capsular bag ( χ2=4.286), the differences in the number of eyes between the two groups were statistically significant ( P= 0.038, 0.020, 0.038). At the last follow-up, no special complications occurred. Conclusions:Intravitreal injection of TA combined with partial anterior PPV can improve the visibility of the anterior and posterior lens capsule and lens nucleus during phacoemulsification in patients with cataract and severe vitreous hemorrhage. The surgical success rate is high, the complications are few, and the safety is good.

Objective To analyze the changes in peripheral blood monocyte subpopulations in patients with primary, secondary and latent syphilis. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect CD14highCD16- and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood from 58 patients with untreated syphilis, including 36 cases of latent syphilis,8 cases of primary syphilis and 14 cases of secondary syphilis, as well as from 65 normal human controls. Restflts Compared with the normal controls, the proportion of CD14+CD16+ monocytes among total monocytes was significantly elevated (12.0% ± 5.0% vs 6.0% ± 3.3%, t = 7.25, P < 0.01), while that of CD14highCD16- monocytes was down-regulated (88.0% ± 5.1% vs 94.0% ± 3.5%, t = -7.20, P < 0.01). No statistical difference was observed in the proportion of CD14+CD16+ or CD14hhighCD16- monocytes among the patients with primary syphilis, secondary syphilis and those with latent syphilis (all P > 0.05). Conclusions The changes in peripheral blood monocyte subpopulation in patients with untreated syphilis may be associated with the permanent infection of Treponema pallidum, but have no obvious correlation with clinical stage of syphilis.

Objective To investigate the time distribution characteristics and the epidemic trends of imported malaria cases in Yunnan Province. Methods The malaria case records and epidemiological history data of Yunnan Province were collected, and the local infection cases were excluded. The data were statistical analyzed. Results The imported malaria cases had a sig-nificantly seasonal periodicity(Q=26.574,P<0.05)and epidemic trends(Q=35.487,P<0.05). The imported peak was in May,while February was the lowest month of imported cases,and the difference was significant(Z=-2.619,P<0.05). The simple seasonal prediction model was the best model(R2= 0.677,BIC = 4.867)for forecast while the residual sequence was white noise(Q=14.226,P>0.05). By using the model to predict the cases in January,February and March of 2016,the num-ber(95%CI)were 29(7-50),22(0-44)and 31(8-54),and the actual number of imported malaria cases were 29,24 and 38 cases respectively and all cases were included in the 95%CI. Conclusion The imported malaria cases in Yunnan Province had a significantly seasonal periodicity and epidemic trends,and the established model has good prediction on the recent cases.

Objective To supply a scientific basis for standardizing the normal reference value of forced vital capacity (FVC) of Chinese younger women. Methods We studied the relationship between the normal reference value of 21767 samples of FVC of younger women and eight geographical factors in 157 areas in China. Results It was found that the correlation between geographical factors and the normal reference value of FVC of younger women was quite significant (F=5.884, P=0.000). By adopting the method of mathematical regression analysis, one regression equation was inferred: =3.146+0.00006919X1+0.01315X4-0.006966X6+0.09524X8±0.254. In the above equation, is the normal reference value of younger women' FVC (L); X1 is the altitude (m); X4 is the annual mean air temperature (℃); X6 is the annual mean relative humidity (%); X8 is the annual mean wind speed (m/s); 0.254 is the value of the residual standard deviation. Conclusion If geographical values are obtained in a certain area, the normal reference value of FVC of younger women in this area can be obtained by using the regression equation. Furthermore, according to the geographical factors, China can be divided into eight regions: Northeast China Region, North China Region, Shanxi-Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia Region, middle and lower reaches of the Yangzte River Region, Southeast China Region, Northwest China Region, Southwest China Region, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Region.
