1.Ocular biometric characteristics of acute and chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma in Chinese patients
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(4):333-337
Objective: To compare the ocular parameters of acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) and chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG). Methods: Totally 106 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma were recruited: 58 patients with AACG and 48 with CACG. All patients were divided into 3 groups: AACG attack eyes group, AACG uninvolved fellow eyes group and CACG group and underwent the same ophthalmic examinations, comprising optometry, keratometry, and A-scan ultrasonography. The lens/axial length factor (LAF) and relative lens position (RLP) were calculated. Results: The AACG attack eyes had a significant shallow anterior chamber depth, thick lens, short axial length and larger LAF. hTere tended to be a reduction in the percentage of LAF>0.20 in AACG attack eyes, CACG eyes and AACG uninvolved fellow eyes, though there were no statistically signiifcant difference in all groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The eyes with AACG attack have a more crowded anterior chamber structure compared with uninvolved fellow eyes and eyes with CACG.

Objective To discuss the significance of platelet rich plasma in promoting bFGF and VEGF expression in would healing of rabbit buns .Methods The 24 rabbits were randomly divided into control group and experimental group .The sulfadiazine silver paint to the wound for control group and the platelet rich plasma gel evenly spread to the wound for experimental group .At 7th ,10th ,14th day ,4 rabbits of each group were randomly selected to sacrificed after anesthesiaed ,wound healing rate was compare in 2 groups ,HE staining and testimmunohistochemistry were conducted in each group .Results At 7th ,10th ,14th day ,the wound healing rate of experimental group were higher than those of control group .At 7th d ,the focal granulation ,cells and vessels inten-sive were more significant in experimental group than in control group ,at 10th day ,the wound fibroblast cells and capillary number are more significant in experimental group ,and at 14th day ,the most of fibroblasts translate into fiber cell and the capillary number decreased ,the fibroblasts proliferation was still active and fiber cell was less in the control group .At 7th ,10th day ,the expression of bFGF and VEGF were both higher ,but experimental group is obvious higher than control group(P<0 .05) ,but at 14th day ,the ex-pression of bFGF and VEGF were gradually declined and was not obvious statistics differences in the two group (P>0 .05) .Conclu-sion The platelet rich plasma could promote the big white rabbit scald wound healing ,while the main mechanism maybe the ex-pression of bFGF and VEGF increased in the early .

Objective To explore the value of prenatal ultrasonography for diagnosing fetal congenital diaphragm hernia(CDH). Methods Sonographic imaging of 10 cases with CDH confirmed by autopsy were retrospectively analyzed,the characteristics of imaging were Summarized. Results Nine cases had CDH on the left side,and one case on the right. Nine cases showed occupying lesion in left thoracic cavity with the heart shifting to right,one showed occupying lesion in the right thoracic cavity with the heart shifting to left.Seven cases were detected stomach in left thoracic cavity,one was detected stomach in the ahdominal cavity and 2 cases were not detected stomach in splanchnocoele. All cases were observed that the heart shifted to anterior chest with left atrium separating from descending aorta and the spine. There were 7 cases with hydramnios,3 cases with other organs abnormality among them. Conclusions Prenatal ultrasonography is of great value for diagnosing fetal CDH.

Objective To study the effect of de novo donor-specific antigen (DSA) on transplant heart function and recipient survival after heart transplantation.Methods 195 recipients went through heart transplantion from March 2013 to January 2016 in our center,13 patients with preoperative panel reactive antibody (PRA) and 10 patients suffered from in-hospital death were exclude from this study,and the actual number of patients enrolled in this study was 172.By detecting HLA typing and DSA,recipients were divided into DSA positive group,anti-HLA antigen positive but DSA negative group (DSA negative group) and anti-HLA negative group.Cardiac dysfunction,coronary heart disease and cardiovascular death were recorded as cardiac events during the follow-up period.By analyzing the cardiac events rate among 3 groups,the relationship between DSA and cardiac events was acknowledged.Results The mean follow-up period of all patients was (1.3 ± 0.8) years.Among 172 patients,6 were positive for DSA (3.4%).In the DSA positive group,66% of DSA were directed at HLA Ⅱ,mainly against HLA-DQ,1 developed only anti-HLA I antibody,1 developed both anti-HLA Ⅰ and Ⅱ antibody.The median developing time of DSA was (256 ± 125) days,and the distribution was centralized in the first half year.84% of patients in DSA positive group were witnessed cardiac events.One patient was diagnosed as coronary heart disease and received PCI at 145th days after DSA was developed.Four out of 6 patients experienced cardiac dysfunction with median developing time of (54 ± 13) days,and the cardiac function restored after treatment with immunosuppression modification,high-dose glucocorticoid and IVIG.In the DSA negative PRA positive group,the incidence of cardiac events was 13%.There was one cardiovascular death,and 2 cases of cardiac dysfunction.In the HLA antigen negative group,the incidence of cardiac events was 4%.Cox regression analysis revealed that DSA could be seen as an independent risk factor in leading to cardiac events and affecting mid-long term survival of recipients (P =0.02).Significant difference was observed in Kaplan-Meier analysis among 3 groups (P<0.001).Conclusion DSA has strong impact on outcome after heart transplantation.Routine surveillance and appropriate treatment should be attached to DSA.

To investigate the clinical features, genetic diagnosis, and treatment of a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome(PWS). For a case with clinically suspected PWS, methylation specific PCR(MSPCR)amplification was applied to CpG islands of SNRPN(exon α)gene locus in the 15q11-q13. Furthermore, the diagnosis was comfirmed by the method of bisulfite sequencing PCR(BSPCR). Metabolic status before and after the operation of sleeve gastrectomy were compared. Absence of amplification of paternal allele on chromosome 15q11-q13 was detected in the case by MSPCR, different from the normal control. Results of BSPCR further proved a full methylation of CpG islands in the SNRPN gene locus. Four months after sleeve gastrectomy, systemic metabolic status and ventricular function were improved. MSPCR and BSPCR were both consistent with genetic diagnosis of PWS. Weight loss surgery is expected to be a major therapy of this disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of high power microwave(HPM) irradiation on neuropeptide Y (NPY) and neural nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) expression in the cerebral cortex and hippoeampus of Wistar rats. Methods A total of 110 Wistar rats were used for this study.Three groups of 30 Wistar rats were exposed to HPM irradiation at intensities of 3,10,30 and 100 mW/cm~2,respectively.Twenty rats served as controls and were ex- posed to sham HPM irradiation.At 6 h,and at 1,3,7,14 and 28 d after irradiation,five rats from each group were sacrificed,and their cerebral cortices and hippocampi were harvested.HE staining was used to highlight any change in the structure of the cerebral cortex or hippocampus.Immunohistochemistry techniques and image analysis were used to study the changes in NPY and nNOS expression.Results 10 to 100 mW/cm~2 HPM irradiation caused pyc- nosis and deep staining of some neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus.The increase in nNOS expression and decrease in NPY expression observed were significant at 3 days after irradiation.Conclusion HPM irradiation can induce injury in neurons of the cerebral cortex and hippoeampus,and abnormal NPY and nNOS expression.

OBJECTIVETo demonstrate molecular characterization of a newly isolated enterovirus.
METHODSVirus were isolated from patient with unknown-causing disease and tested by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and 5'3'RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends, RACE), in an attempt to obtain the sequence of this newly isolated enterovirus.
RESULTSSequence analysis showed that this newly isolated enterovirus shared 83%-94% nucleotide identity and 91%-100% amino acid identity with enterovirus 89. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that it was probably a new subtype of enterovirus 89.
CONCLUSIONThis newly isolated enterovirus in the stool specimen from patient has the same serotype with enterovirus 89, but it was probably a new subtype of enterovirus 89.
