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.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects and action mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) on Parkinson's disease (PD).

METHODSForty-eight healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham operation group, a model group and an EA group, 12 rats in each one. Rats in the model group and EA group were treated with subcutaneous injection of rotenone (1mg/kg, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and 0. 9 % normal saline) on neck and back for 40 days to establish rat model. Rats in the sham operation group were treated with injection of identical dose of dimethyl sulfoxide and 0. 9 %o normal saline at identical location which did not contain rotenone. After model establishment, rats in the EA group were treated with EA at "Fengfu" (GV 16) and "Taichong" (LR 3) with continuous wave (2 Hz, 1 mA), which was given 20 min per time, once a day for consecutive 28 days. Rats in the remaining groups were treated with fixation and immobilization without any other intervention. The rats behavioristics changes were observed and scored; immunohisto-chemistry was adopted to test the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH); fluorescence spectrometry was used to detect the activities of 20 S β1, β2, β5; western blot method was applied to measure the expression of 20S proteasome and its a subunit.

RESULTSCompared with the normal group and sham operation group, there was significant change of behavioristics in the model group, and TH positive neuron counting was obviously reduced; after treatment, the behavioristics score in the EA group was lower than that in the model group (P<0. 05), and TH positive neuron counting was significantly increased (P<0. 05). Compared with the normal group and sham operation group, the activities of 20 S β1, β2, β5 in model group were significantly reduced (all P<0. 01), and those in the EA group were higher than those in the model group (P<0. 01). Compared with the normal group and sham operation group, the expression of 20S proteasome and its a subunit was reduced in the model group, and that in the EA group was higher than that in the model group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONEA could improve the loss of dopaminergic neurons induced by rotenone to prevent and treat PD, which is likely to be related with protecting the activity and expression of proteasomes in substantia nigra.

Objective To analyze the polymorphism of histidine rich protein 2(HRP II)gene in Plasmodium falciparum (Pfhrp2)from falciparum malaria patients in Yunnan Province,so as to lay the foundation for studying the defection of antigen genes of Plasmodium. Methods The filter paper blood samples and related information of falciparum malaria cases reported were obtained in Yunnan Province from August 2012 to September 2015. Under the guidance of the specific primers,the exon2 regions in Pfhrp2 gene in P. falciparum from DNA samples were amplified by PCR,and the PCR products were sequenced. The sequences of exon2 region in Pfhrp2 gene were blasted by comparing with the reference sequences AY816237,AY816240,and AY816301. Next,the polymorphism of the sequence in exon2 region of Pfhrp2 gene was analyzed by MEGA 5.04 software. The conserved sites and genetic distances between sequences were calculated by using the software as well,and the clustering tree was drawn according to the genetic distances between the amino acid sequences. Results A total of 218 bloods samples from the falciparum malaria cases in 15 prefectures of Yunnan Province were collected,and the sources of infection included Yun?nan,Africa and Myanmar. The PCR results showed that the exon2 regions in Pfhrp2 genes of 155 samples were positive by am?plification and their products were sequenced successfully. The sequence analysis showed that the length range of the amino acid residues of exon2 region in Pfhrp2 gene was from 115 aa to 298 aa,the average length was 239.7 aa. There was no statistically significance among the means of the amino acid residues of the isolates from Africa( 239.9 aa),Myanmar(239.5 aa)and Yun?nan(241.6 aa)(F=0.025,P>0.05). All the 155 amino acid sequences ended with type 12 repeat,98.1%(152/155)of them started with type 1 repeat and 1.9%(3/155)of them started with type 2. Type 2 presented most frequently repeat in all the se?quences and the average repeat times were 12.9. The homologous locus of the DNA sequences in exon2 regions of the 155 Pfhrp2 genes was 894 bp,among which the conservative sites accounted for 20.6%(186/894),and the variable sites for 78.2%(699/894). The genetic distances between the sequences of Africa isolates ranged from 0 to 0.741,and those of the Myanmar and Yun?nan isolates were 0-0.948 and 0-0.750,respectively. The cluster analysis showed that all the 155 sequences clustered into 3 cat?egories on genetic distances between amino acid sequences according to the size of the amino acid sequence length. At the same level,the sequences had approximate lengths and amino acid repeat types. Conclusion The sequence of exon2 region in Pfhrp2 gene of P. falciparum from falciparum malaria cases in Yunnan Province is highly polymorphic,the P. falciparum iso?lates are clustered mainly according to the size of the amino acid sequence of exon2 region in Pfhrp2 gene.

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 compare the advantages and disadvantages of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) and phenol block in the treatment of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Methods Four hundred and twenty children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into an experimental group (375 cases) and a control group (45 cases).The children were aged from 1 to 22 years ( average age 6 years).The children in the experimental group were treated with BTX-A block at a dosage of 55 to 350 IU (average 130.5 IU).The children in the control group were treated with a 5％ phenol solution block at a dosage of 0.5 to 4.6 ml ( average 2.2 ml).Children of both groups were given systematic functional rehabilitation training. All the children were evaluated with a physician rating scale (PRS) and the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after the blocking.Effectiveness rates,effectiveness durations and side effects rates were calculated. Results Before treatment there was no significant difference in terms of motor disorder or spasticity between the 2 groups.After treatment,spasticity had been significantly reduced in both groups.The effectiveness rate was 98.4％ in the experimental group and 95.6％ in the control group,a difference which was not significant.The average effectiveness duration was ( 24.9 ± 5.76 ) weeks in the experimental group and ( 69.2 ± 13.76) weeks in the control group,significantly longer.The side effects rate was 5.33 ％ in the experimental group and 15.56％ in the control group,also a significant difference.
