1.Evaluation methods of anterior chamber and angle structures after laser peripheral iridotomy
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2011;29(2):174-178
Laser peripheral iridotomy ( LPI) is one of the main therapy for glaucoma due to its reliable efficacy of widening peripheral angle and therefore decreasing intraocular pressure by partially relieving pupillary block. The parameters of the anterior chamber angle following the LPI are the main evaluation indexes. At present,the detecting and diagnosis technique for the anterior chamber angle is deeply advancing, including gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and Pentacam. These methods offer some useful parameters and also present with some limits in the application respectively in the evaluation of anterior chamber and angle structure. This review focuses on the application of Methods mentioned above and morphologic changes of anterior chamber and angle structure following the LPI.

Aim To observe the effects of Xiatianwu tota l alkaloids ( XA ) on learning and memory impairment and the central cholinergic f unction in rats with quinolinic acid microinjected into bilateral hippocampus. Methods Alzheimers disease (AD) rat models were made by damagin g bilateral hippocampus with quinolinic acid (150 nmol in 2 ?l for each hippoca mpus). XA 0.25, 0.5, 1 mg?kg -1 was administrated ig from 1 week before model established to 3 weeks after model established. Y-maze was used to measur e the learning and memory ability. The activity of the acetylcholinesterase ( AC hE ) in hippocampus and the contents of acetylcholine ( ACh ) was determined by spectrophotometry. Results Microinjection of quinolinic acid in to the rats hippocampus induced learning and memory dysfunction (P

Objective The non intrusive ultrasound combined with western medicine in the treatment of chronic prostatitis prostate/research and analysis of the effect of chronic pelvic pain syndrome.Methods96 cases of chronic prostatitis patients who were treated in our hospital from September 2016 to were randomly divided into the observation group, the control group 1 and the control group2.The observation group was treated with western medicine in the treatment of non intrusive prostate ultrasound;1 patients in the control group were given a single non intrusive prostate ultrasound treatment;control group 2 given a single treatment with Chinese and Western medicine.The clinical symptoms and NIH-CPSI scores were evaluated before and after treatment in each group.ResultsComparison between groups of patients before treatment NIH-CPSI score, no significant difference;after treatment, the NIH-CPSI score has decreased, there are obvious differences (P<0.05);the patients in the observation group were decreased significantly, the total score before treatment (26.21±2.20), the total score after treatment (11.77±1.90), there are obvious the difference (P<0.05).The treatment groups were compared with the efficiency, the total efficiency of observation group was 93.75%, the control group of 1 patients with the total effective rate was 75%, the control group of 2 patients with the total effective rate was 68.75%, there was significant difference in the treatment effect, with statistical significance (P<0.05).ConclusionNon intrusive ultrasound combined with western medicine in the treatment of prostate in compared with non intrusive ultrasound therapy and Western medicine alone in the treatment of prostate, has more significant treatment effect, should strengthen the clinical application and promotion.

Objective To produce an erythrocytic stage chimeric protein of Plasmodium berghei in Pichia pastoris and evaluate its immunogenicity. Methods The DNA sequences of AMA1 (Ⅲ) and MSP1-19 from P. berghei homologous to the corresponding sequences of P. falciparum chimeric antigen 2.9 (PfCP-2.9) were fused to generate a chimeric gene, designated as PbCP-2.9. The resulting gene was redesigned using Pichia preferential coden usage and expressed in P. pastoris in the secreted form. The recombinant protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Three groups each with 10 BALB/c mice were im- munized subcutaneously with 20 ?g of purified PbCP-2.9 antigen formulated in Freund’s adjuvant, Montanide ISA720 and Montanide IMS 1 312, respectively. Three control groups each with 10 mice received only adjuvants emulsified with PBS. All the mice received three immunizations at 2-week intervals with the same dose of antigen. Serum samples were collected at preimmunization and one week after each immunization, and were analyzed for specific antibodies by ELISA and reaction with natural P. berghei proteins by IFAT. Results The PbCP-2.9 antigen with Mr 26 400 was successfully expressed in P. pastoris in secret- ed form. The recombinant protein can be recognized by the serum against blood stage parasites of P. berghei. High antibody responses were detected in all three PbCP-2.9-immune groups of mice by ELISA. However, mice immunized with PbCP-2.9 antigen in Freund’s adjuvant produced higher antibody titers than those with PbCP-2.9 antigen in Montanide ISA 206 and Montanide IMS 1312 adjuvants. The mean antibody titer in Freund’s adjuvant was 6.9-fold higher than in Montanide ISA 206 adjuvant and 5.6-fold higher than in Montanide IMS 1312 adjuvant after the second immunization (F=81.06, P

Objective To evaluate the surgical treatment of huge staghorn stones. Method The clinic dates of 184 cases treated with an incision of the infrarenal sinus supplemented by a postrenal low pole segmental incision were studied. Result 184 cases were all successful.Conclusion We conclude that this method, need no interruption of renal blood flow had advantages of simple procedure less bleeding, completely removing calculi, protecting renal function.

AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of canalicular intubation combined with external dacryocystorhinostomy ( ext-DCR ) for treatment of chronic dacryocystitis and upper lacrimal duct stenosis.
METHODS:Thirty-three patients (33 eyes) with chronic dacryocystitis and upper lacrimal duct stenosis who underwent canalicular intubation combined ext-DCR were retrospective analyzed. The silicon tube was indwelt for 6mo. All cases were re-examined 1wk;1, 3, 6, 9mo post-operation, flow of tears, pus excretion and lacrimal duct clearance were observed.
RESULTS: Clear lacrimal duct ratio was 100% in all cases during 1wk~6mo post-operation; Silicon tube was removed 6mo post-operation, 3mo after tube removal, rechecking reported 32 cases with clear lacrimal duct (97%) and 1 case with resistant duct (3%). Two cases ( 6%) with minor lacerations, no other complications were observed.
CONCLUSlON: Canalicular intubation combined ext-DCR is an effective treatment for chronic dacryocystitis and upper lacrimal duct stenosis.

Objective We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics in the prevention of incisional infection of inguinal tension-free hernioplasty.Methods Articles of randomized controlled trials about the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics in the prevention of incisional infection in the inguinal tension-free hernioplasty published from January 1975 to October 2012 was retrieved and systematically reviewed.Results A total of 11 randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion criteria were screened.Among the 4159 cases of patients,130 cases had wound infection,and the infection rate was 3.13%.In the prophylactic antibiotics group of 1845 cases,wound infection occurred in 45 cases; the infection rate was 1.94%.In the control group of 2314 cases,85 cases had incision infection; the infection rate was 3.67%.The preventive use of antimicrobial drugs reduced surgical site infection of inguinal tension-free hernioplasty (OR 0.55,95% CI 0.38-0.80,P =0.002).Conclusions The use of prophylactic antibiotics can effectively reduce the incisional infection in the inguinal tension-free hernioplasty.
