Objective: To observe the efficacy of combined Chinese and Western medicines in the treatment of senile functional constipation. Methods: One hundred patients with senile functional constipation were divided into treatment group and control group. There were 50 in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with Danggui Shaoyao Decoction and Cisapride Tablets, while the patients in the control group were treated with Cisapride Tablets only. The efficacy in the two groups were compared after three courses. Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92% and the control group's was 78%, the former was higher than latter with the comparatively significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The results indicate that the combination of Chinese and Western medicines is highly effective in the treatment of senile functional constipation.

Objective To identify main problems and related factors existing in monitoring and evaluation(M&E)of HIV/AIDS prevention and control in China through status quo investigation and problem analysis.Methods Data collected from the existing information and field investigations were analyzed with horizontal,longitudinal comparison and GAP analysis to identify current situation and problems.Results 1)Basic situation in the seven aspects,including;institution,staff,funding,use of indicators,data management,result feedback and operation of M&E was defined;2)Problems in the five aspects,including coordination mechanism,staff ability,use of indicator system,data analysis and use and level of M&E were identified.Conclusions In order to improve the overall quality of M&E of HIV/AIDS prevention and control in this country,a unified nationwide M&E system of HIV/AIDS prevention and control should be established.

Objective To compare the inhibition effect of budesonide suspension and dexamethasone on the rats′ pneumonic anaphylacticitis and serum IL-5,and study the effect mechanism in treatment of asthma with glucocorticoids on systemic administration and with budesonide suspension.Methods Twenty-six health wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group,asthmatic group,budesonide suspension group and dexamethasone group.Asthma models were sensitized with egg albumin.Before sensitized,budesonide suspension group were administered inhalation of budesonide suspension,and dexamethasone group were administered abdominal injection of dexamethasone.The level of IL-5 was measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) reagent box,lung was eviscera-(ted after collecting) blood,pathological slice was made.Results The rats′ pathological changes of lung and bronchus were significant between asthma group and other groups,while there were no significant difference between budesonide suspension group and dexamethasone group,but both of two groups showed slight difference with normal group.Compared with normal group,the level of serum IL-5 in asthma group raised obviously,and there was significant difference(P0.05).Conclusions The treatment of inhalation of budesonide suspension can inhibit rats′ pneumonic anaphylacticitis,ameliorate rat anaphylactic asthma symptom.

AIM: To explore curative effect of different drugs in treatment of senile wet macular degeneration.METHODS: We selected 98 patients 98 eyes with senile wet macular degeneration from July 2014 to January 2016 in our hospital as the research subjects.They were divided into control group and research group as the administration sequence, 49 patients in each group.Research group was treated with ranibizumab.The control group was treated with Conbercept.Both once per month and for 3mo.RESULTS: Uncorrected visual acuity, central macular retinal thickness and area of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) leakage before treatment of the two groups were not statistically different (P>0.05).At 1, 3 and 6mo after treatment, the uncorrected visual acuity was improved significantly, the central macular retinal thickness decreased significantly, and the area of CNV leakage decreased significantly (P<0.05).The differences on uncorrected visual acuity at 1mo after treatment, central macular retinal thickness and area of CNV were statistically significant (P<0.05), while those indexes at 3 and 6mo after treatment was not significant (P>0.05).In the follow up period, there was no severe complications in the two groups, such as persistent high intraocular pressure, retinal detachment or tear, endophthalmitis, or other systemic complications.There were subconjunctival hemorrhage in 10 eyes in research group, 8 eyes in control group, all of which recovered within 15d after treatment.Transient elevated intraocular pressure occurred in 7 eyes in research group, in 9 eyes in control group.The complication rates of the two groups were not significant (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: In the clinical treatment of senile patients with wet macular degeneration, treatment effect of Conbercept is not obvious at the early stage, but the effect is equivalent later and more economical.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect and the rotational stability of AcrySof Toric intraocular lens ( IOL ) implantation to correct preexisting corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery.
METHODS: Twenty-three patients ( 28 eyes ) were enrolled from the department of ophthalmology in the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. All patients underwent similar phacoemulsification procedure combined with AcrySof Toric IOL implantation from June 2012 to December 2013. The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , anticipated residual astigmatism, postoperative residual astigmatism, and Toric IOL axis were detected and measured.
RESULTS:Three months after operation, the UCVA of all eyes were 0. 75±0. 16 and the BCVA were 0. 84±0. 15, there was no significant difference between UCVA and BCVA ( t = 1. 036, P>0. 05 ). The anticipated residual astigmatism was ( 0. 28±0. 12 ) D. The actual residual astigmatism after 3mo of the operation was (0. 42±0. 17) D. There was no significant difference between anticipated and actual residual astigmatism (t=1. 259, P>0. 05). The mean axis rotation of Toric IOL was 3. 02o±1.56o (0o-7o) after 1d of operation and 3. 28o±1. 85o (0o-7o) after 3mo. Among all the eyes, 25 eyes ( 89%) rotated <5o, in 3 eyes (11%) rotated 5o-7o.
CONCLUSION: The AcrySof Toric IOL implantation shows good effectiveness, predictability and stability in correcting pre-existing astigmatism in cataract patients.

A total of 104 marine bacterial strains were isolated from Stelletta tennui around Sanya area of South China Sea by dilution-plate method and were screened for anti-microbial activity on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureu, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Pacecilomyces variotii by agar diffusion, paper disc diffusion assay and cell concentration counts methods. It was found that 23 strains, which are 22.2% of the total isolated strains, have anti-microbial activities. Among the 23 strains, A05, A08, A72 and A75 were morphologically, physiologically and biochemically characterized and identified to be the genus Bacillus. At the same time, it was proved that there are positive and negative synergistic effects between or among active strains, e.g., as for A72-75 combination, an obvious enhanced anti-microbial activities on inhibiting Candida albicans and Pseudomomas fluorescens growth was observed than A72 or A75.
