In the course of follow-up analyses of visual field test,it should take more than two visual field tests that had similar results as baseline test,and some factors should be taken into account,such as accordant testing conditions,reliable indeces,test errors and fluctuation effects,and so on.The indeces of Mean Deviation(MD)and Pattern Standard Deviation(PSD)could reflect the whole change trend of follow-up visual field test,while sensitivity value of every point and their pattern deviations could help to analyse tiny changes of visual field tests.Those statistic softwares provided by automatic perimetry should be used adequately.Through the follow-up analyses of visual field test,glaucoma doctors could adjust therapy schemes in time in order to obtain objective intraocular pressure and stabilize visual field and glaucoma.

Neovascular glaucoma ( NVG ) is a kind of intractable eye disease with complex etiology, strong destruction and poor effect on treatment. Extensive retinal ischemia and hypoxia is the main etiology, and the key of treatment is early diagnosis, active prevention and taking effective measures to prevent the production of vascular endothelial growth factor. According to the related literature over recent years, the authors will discuss pros and cons for medical, surgical and combined treatment in this review.

Background Glaucoma is common blinding eye diseases characterized by chronic loss of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs).Currently glaucoma pathogenesis is not completely understood,heat shock protein 27 ( HSP27 )may be associated with the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Objective Through the establishment of a rat model of high intraocular pressure,detection of the expression of HSP27 antibody in serum and RGCs apoptosis to investigate the role of HSP27 in RGCs apoptosis. Methods Fifty-one clean Wistar rats were divided into high intraocular pressure group (34 rats)and sham operation group( 17 rats)using a random number table.An animal model of high intraocular pressure was established in the right eye by the application of bipolar underwater electrocoagulation on vein of sclera surface in the experimental group,and rats with conjunctiva incision only without electric coagulation were served as sham operation (control).The intraocular pressure of rats of the both groups including experimental and control rats was measured 1,2,4,6,8 weeks after operation and then the rats were sacrificed.1 ml serum was collected from these rats to determine the concentration of HSP27 antibody.The retinas of the rats were isolated and homogenated for the extraction and analysis of the retinal protein by Western blot.Apoptosis of RGCs were assayed by TUNEL.The use of the experimental animals followed the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by Kunming Medical Collegc. Results Intraocular pressure was elevated significantly after modeling and remained a high value during the expcrimental duration,showing a significant difference among the different groups ( F =318.502,P＜0.01 ).However,no significant change in intraocular pressure before and after operation in the sham-operation group ( F =2.076,P ＞ 0.05 ).The serum concentration of HSP27 antibody was increased significantly overtime from 1,2,4,6 to 8 weeks after the surgery applied,with a significant difference among various time points( F =154.221,P＜0.01 ),but no obvious difference was seen in the shamoperation group( F =0.422,P＞0.05 ).Importantly,Apoptosis rate of RGCs in the experimental eyes was significant higher as the time prolong after intraocular elevated(x2=856.12,P＜0.05 ).The positive rate of RGCs apoptosis in the rats with high intraocular pressure group was elevated significantly compared to the rats in the sham operation group(P＜0.05). Conclusions High intraocular pressure induces the expressions of HSP27 in retina and the accumulation of HSP27 antibody in rats serum;the elevated HSP27 is associated with the increased cell death in RGCs.

Chinese medicine (CM) develops with the survival, reproduction, growth, and progressing of the Chinese nation. Scientific technologies not only promote continual progressing of human societies, but also provide new ideas and methods for the development of CM. In recent years, great changes have taken place in CM complying with developing modern scientific technologies, mainly manifested in the depth of CM theories at molecular levels, the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease identification, continuous innovation and development of clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques, diversified dosages of Chinese materia medica, the academic tendency of education patterns, occupational refinement, diversified medical practice modes, and so on.

It was investigated that the effect of various inducing mediums,times and temperatures on the number of the zoospores from Diasporangium sp.producing polyunsaturated fatty acid of Eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) and Arachidonic acid(AA).The results showed that the zoospores were detected in various liquid mediums after 1 day,They were globose and about 23.9 ?m in diameter.And maximum number of spores was obtained 6 days after translocation of mycilium to carrot patches at 25℃.But the number of the zoospores was the most 8 days at the same condition.The highest germination rate of the fungus was obtained in the vegetative agar.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical value of serum prealbumin in patients with chronic schistosome.Methodsone hundred and twenty six patients with chronic schistosome in the Gastroenterology Department and 40 healthy people in the Physical Examination Center of the First Hospital of Wuhan were enrolledin the study.Serum prealbumin(PA) and albumin(ALB) in healthy controls and patients with chronic schistosome before therapy and 1 st,2 nd,4 th weeks after therapy were detected and analyzed.ResultsBefore therapy,PA and ALB [(223.9 ± 43.2)mg/L, (41.5 ± 5.8)g/L] of patient group were lower than that of the control group [(314.5 ± 53.6)mg/L,(47.2 ± 6.9)g/L,t =4.527,2.786,respectively,all P＜ 0.05].After therapy,PAs of patient group at the 1 st,2 nd,4 th weeks [(245.8 ± 41.7),(258.3 ± 47.2),(282.9 ± 49.3)mg/L] were higher than that before the therapy (t =3.092,3.789,4.230,all P ＜ 0.05).ALB of patient group at the 1 st,2 nd,4 th weeks [(41.1 ± 4.7),(41.4 ± 5.2),(44.8 ± 4.5)g/L] were not significantly different compaired to that before therapy(t =0.123,0.119,0.156,all P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionsPrealbumin could quickly and sensitively respond to the changes of liver function.It could be used in the judgment of curative effect and prognosis of patients with schistosome.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between damages of visual field and retinal nerve fibre layer(RNFL)thickness in primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)with high myopia.Design Retrospective,case-controlled study.Participants POAG group with high myopia(21 eyes of 17 cases),POAG group with non-high myopia(17 eyes of 16 cases),high myopia group without POAG(25 eyes of 20 cases)and normal control group(19 eyes of 17 cases).Methods The static central visual fields were tested with Humphrey 750 automated perimetry and thickness of RNFL was measured with optical coherent tomography(OCT).Main Outcome Measures Mean deviation(MD),pattern standard deviation(PSD)and mean sensitivity at upper,lower,nasal and temporal quadrants in total deviation probability plots.Thickness of RNFL at upper,lower,nasal and temporal quadrants.Results There were more obvious general depression of sensitivity in total deviation probability plots of the early POAG with high myopia than those of POAG without high myopia,and the early visual field defects of glaucoma in pattern deviation probability plots of this group.MD of POAG with high myopia was more than those of others(P＜0.05).The differences of MD,PSD and mean sensitivity between POAG with high myopia and others were significant(P＜0.05).Mean sensitivities in each quadrant of POAG without high myopia were similar to those of high myopia(P＞0.05).The thickness of RNFL of POAG with high myopia was thinner than those of others and the thickness of RNFL of normality was thicker than that of others.The correlationship between mean sensitivity and the thickness of RNFL in each quadrant was significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Pattern deviation probability plots is an important favor for judgement of the visual field changes in POAG with high myopia.The relationship between RNFL thickness with OCT and visual field damage may provide clinically relevant information in diagnosis of POAG with high myopia
