Swertio elongata S. W. Lioa dt T. N. He (Gentianaceae) has been found to be effective in the treatment of liver disease. The present investigation resulted in tho isolation and structure elucidation of four xanthone glycoside, two secoiridoid glycosides and a lignan glycoside in the plant. According to the chemical transformation, spectral (UY, IR, 1H and 18CNMR, MS) properties and comparison with reference samples, the structures of four xanthone glycosides were established as:4-?-D-glucopyranosyl-1, 3, 6, 7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (Ⅶ), 2-?-D-glucopyranosyl-1,3,6, 7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (Ⅵ), 8-O-?- D- glucopyranosyl-1,3, 5-trihydroxyxanthone (Ⅳ) and ?-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-1, 5-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone (Ⅴ). The structures or two secoiridoid glycosidcs were identified as swertiamarin (Ⅱ) and desacetylcentapicrin (Ⅰ). The structure of lignan glycoside was identified as (+) hydroxypinoresinol-1-?- D-glucosid. (Ⅲ).

AIM: To report the clinical manifestations of localized peripapillary detachment in pathologic myopia and to evaluate its underlying associations and causes.METHODS: From December 2002 to January 2004, 10eyes from 7 patients with high myopia were identified to have localized peripapillary detachment by optical coherent tomography (OCT). The features were described together with the fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and multifocal electroretinogram.RESULTS: Localised peripapillary detachments did not cause any symptoms by themselves and all the lesions were recognized because of other ocular problems. The areas of peripapillary detachment were all located within the posterior staphyloma. In the 5 eyes with type 1 staphyloma, the locations of detachment were all in the nasal half of the peripapillary area. In the other 5 eyes with type 2 and 3 staphyloma, the locations of detachment were all in the non-nasal peripapillary area. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant (Fisher's exact test, ,P= 0.01).CONCLUSION: Peripapillary detachment is probably a benign complication of posterior staphyloma in pathologic myopia. The site of peripapillary detachment is affected by the location of staphyloma and OCT is important in making the diagnosis.

Objective To describe localized peripapillary detachment in highly myopic eyes, and to analyze the possible cause of this newly recognized fundus lesion. Methods From December 2002 to January 2004, 10 eyes from 7 patients with high myopia were identified to have localized peripapillary detachment by optical coherent tomography (OCT). The features were described together with the fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and multifocal electroretinogram. Results Peripapillary detachment was not the reason for any patient to be referred for examinations. The reasons of vision decrease or lower BCVA were relatively severe myopic chorioretinal changes, CNV, pre macular membrane formation, and amblyopia. The areas of peripapillary detachment were all located within the posterior staphyloma. The length of the detached retina was undoubtedly shorter than that of the corresponding RPE and inner layer of choroids, which attached to sclera, on OCT. Conclusion Peripapillary detachment is probably a benign complication of staphyloma

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of scleral buckling operations on treating long-standing retinal detachment with subretinal proliferation. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients (40 eyes) with long-standing retinal detachment with subretinal proliferation who had undergone scleral buckling operation were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical features, therapeutic methods and curative effects were summarized. Results The diagnosis of long-standing retinal detachment mainly based on the examination of ocular fundus. The features of the affected eyes were: flat retinal detachment, thin and transparent retina, and formation of subretinal cords. In 40 eyes undergone scleral encircling and buclking, 36 (90%) had one-off successful operation, and the visual acuities over 0.05 were found in 77.5% of the whole eyes. Conclusions Scleral encircling and buckling procedures can be used to treat long-standing retinal detachment with subretinal proliferation with fairish cured rate.

The bladder meridian of foot-taiyang is considered as key of six meridians and the yang of the yang, which is the pivot of transportation for qi and blood in the meridians and zang-fu. The running route and treatment characteristic of bladder meridian is closely related with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The bladder meridian belongs to brain and connects with governor vessel, which has a close relationship with zang-fu function, quality of sleep and fatigue. Besides, the running route of bladder meridian is highly consistent with the surface projections of important anatomical structures such as muscle, nerve and sympathetic trunk, etc. Therefore, regulating the meridian-qi of bladder meridian can harmonize five-zang and calm the mind, but also effectively relieve physical and mental fatigue in CFS.
