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.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features, histogenesis, morphological characteristics, immunophenotypes and differential diagnosis of primary extragonadal yolk sac tumor ( eYST) . Methods Clinicopathological data, morphological charac-teristics and immunophenotypes results of 40 cases of eYST were retrospectively studied and the relevant literatures were reviewed. Re-sults All 40 patients, which included 24 male and 16 female, aged from 6 months to 42 years with a 12 years average age and 17 (42.5%) cases were over 12 years old. Mediastinum, sacrococcygeal, retroperitoneal, pineal gland and vagina were involved in 16 (40.0%), 12(30.0%), 5(12.5%), 4(10.0%) and 3(7.5%), respectively. All 40 cases included 32(80.0%) cases pure YSTs, while other 8(20.0%) cases contained other one or two types of germ cell tumor (GCT) components. Conclusions Primary eYST is rare, mediastinum and sacrococcygeal are the most common anatomic sites for eYST, and these mediastinal tumor patients are overwhelmingly confined to adult males, whose average age are significantly older than that in sacrococcygeal, retroperitoneal, pineal gland and vaginal tumor patients (P<0.05), while other sites eYST are restricted to prepubertal children. Adult eYST contain other types of GCT components in some cases, and children's counterparts are always pure YST. Extragonadal eYST manifestate pleomorphic histological features, which combine with immunohistochemical markers is definite value for diagnosis, differential diagnosis.

0.05).Neither pruritus nor respiratory depression was noted in both groups.CONCLUSION:At an equivalent dose,Nefopam Hydrochloride showed a similar PCSA efficacy to Fentanyl after surgery but less side effect,therefore,it can be applied in postoperative PCSA.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a rapid and accurate method for the identification of Lycium barbarism.METHO-DS:The Lycium barbarism in different processing method was studied in respect of 1 000-seed weight,acidity and basicity,UV spectra and TLC etc.RESULTS:Striking differences were noted between Lycium barbarism and Sulfuring Lycium barbarism in 1000-seed weight and all the other indexes.CONCLUSION:UV and TLC were proved to be simple and reliable methods for the identification of Lycium barbarism,which thus can be considered as the quality control methods for Lycium barbarism and its Chinese patient drugs.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preparing process and method of quality control of the podophyllotoxin film former METHODS:To sift the formula of podophyllotoxin film former with orthogonal function and to determine the content by second derivative UV-spectrophotometry RESULTS:The peak area of podophyllotoxin against the concentration was linear with a correlation coefficient of 0 9 999 over the range of 80～180?g/ml and detecting at wavelength 301 5nm～315nm CONC_LUSION:The preparing process of podophyllotoxin film former is simple and the method of quality control is feasible

Objective To investigate the level change and clinical significance of serum IL-6, IL-8 and IL-13 in the patients with lupus nephritis(LN). Methods The levels of serum IL-6,IL-8 and IL-13 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 56 patients with LN. Results The levels of serum IL-6,IL-8 and IL-13 in the patients with active LN were significantly higher than those in the patients with non-active LN and the controls, but had no significant difference between the patients with non-active LN and controls. The levels of serum IL-6,IL-8 and IL-13 in the patients with active LN were positively correlated with anti-dsDNA antibody titre and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, but negatively correlated with the serum levels of complements C 3 and C 4. Conclusion IL-6,IL-8 and IL-13 may be involved in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis, can serve as a clinical reference index for activity of LN, and have important clinical significance in guiding LN therapy and improving LN prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of disodium cantharidinate injection combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) compared with TCAE alone in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) by meta-analysis.Methods Databases of Pubmed, CNKI,Wangfang and VIP were searched electronically, and the randomized controlled trials about disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE in the treatment of HCC were included.Meta-analyses were conducted after the quality of the included studies was assessed.Results Seven eligible studies that included a total of 562 HCC patients were identified in the present meta-analysis.The combined results showed that disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE in the treatment of HCC, compared with TACE alone, could increase effective rate ( RR =1.31, 95%CI 1.10-1.56) and clinical benefit rate (RR =1.20, 95%CI 1.04 -1.39), improve the life quality (RR =1.60, 95%CI 1.26 -2.03) and improved the 1, 2 year survival (RR =1.57 with 95%CI 1.28 -1.93 and RR =2.08 with 95%CI 1.46 -2.97, respectively).Conclusion Meta-analysis indicates that the efficacy of disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE is superior to TACE alone for the patients with HCC.
