AIM: To study the clinical effect of implantation of multifocal intraocular lens ( lOL ) combined with cataract extraction and lOL in cataract patients.
●METHODS:A total of 86 cases ( 86 eyes ) of cataract patients admitted to our hospital from Feb. 2014 to Mar. 2015 were divided into two groups according to the order of admission, each of 43 cases. The 43 patients with cataract extraction combined with non spherical astigmatism correction type monofocal lOL implantation for the treatment as the control group, the other 43 patients with cataract extraction combined with aspheric toric multifocal lOL implantation were treated as the observation group. After 1y of follow- up, the visual acuity, astigmatism and the contrast sensitivity of the two groups were observed.
●RESULTS: There was no difference in visual acuity between two groups (P>0. 05). Postoperative observation group of uncorrected near visual acuity ( UCNVA ) was significantly better than the control group (P<0. 05), and the other indexes were not different (P>0. 05). There was no difference in astigmatism between the two groups before and after operation ( P> 0. 05 ). There was no difference in contrast sensitivity between two groups ( P>0. 05). The contrast sensitivity of the control group was better than that of the observation group (P<0. 05), and the rest had no difference (P>0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: Astigmatism correction multifocal intraocular lens on corneal astigmatism after surgery has a good effect, the naked eye near visual effect is better, the rest of the visual acuity is stable, good visual quality, worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Objective To investigate the surgical techniques and clinical effects of anterior retropharyngeal approach in treatment of C2/3 fracture and dislocation.Methods Twelve patients with C2/3 fracture and dislocation treated via anterior retropharyngeal approach between November 2011 and April 2013 were included in the study.There were 7 males and 5 females aged from 19 to 65 years (mean,35 years).Primary pathologies included 7 patients with traumatic C3 fracture,2 with Hangman fracture and 3 with fracture and dislocation of the anteroinferior margin of C2 vertebrae.C2-C4 vertebrae were exposed using anterior retropharyngeal approach,followed by C2/3 discectomy or C3 corpectomy,decompression,interbody cage fusion or titanium mesh cage fusion,and anterior internal fixation.Results Exposure of lesion was sufficient for all patients and all operations were completed under direct vision,with mean operation time of 140 minutes and mean blood loss of 120 ml.One patient with reduced tone after operation gradually recovered in a week; one with dysphagia after operation recovered in 3 months; one with skin necrosis 7 days after operation was recovered by changing dressing; for the rest,there were no complications of incision hematoma,infection,or asphyxia.Ten patients were followed up for mean 15 months,which showed bony fusion in mean 6 months.At final follow-up,no implant loosening or displacement occurred.Conclusion Anterior retropharyngeal approach to C2/3 fracture and dislocation provides sufficient exposure of lesions,minor trauma,and less bleedings and complications,but as the local anatomy is complicated,there indeed exists a learning curve of the approach.

Objective To evaluate the significance of ST/TP relative value in electrocardiogram in diagnosis of hypocalcemia.Methods ST/TP relative value in electrocardiogram in 61 children with hypocalcemia and 31 normal children were detected by NIHOH KOHDEN CardiofaxQ ECG-9130P electrocardiogram machine designed by Japanese futian company.Calcium ion was checked out by clinic electrolyte equipment.Results There was significant difference of ST/TP relative value between patients with hypocalcemia and normal children(P

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effect of the sacrococcygeal space injection for the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome.

METHODSFrom July 1998 to October 2012,47 patients with failed back surgery syndrome were treated and included 39 males and 8 females with an average age of 61.5 years old ranging from 35 to 89 years old. Among them,41 patients experienced one time of operation, 6 patients with twice of operation. Forty-one patients underwent single,bilateral fenestration or central laminectomy decompression, discectomy. Six patients underwent total laminectomy discectomy and inter body fusion and pedicle screw fixation. All patients were examined by X-ray plain film, CT or MRI before treatment. The anticoagulation was discontinuation before treatment. The needle was put into the sacrococcygeal gap at prone position in the sense of frustration,suction without cerebrospinal fluid and blood,with injection of Mailuoning (Chinese characters: see text) 15 ml. The pain was assessed by VAS before and after treatment. The Oswestry low back pain disability index and survival quality interference degree were evaluated.

RESULTSAt 1 month after treatment,the pain VAS decreased from 59.24 +/- 17.35 before treatment to 19.19 +/- 11.19 after treatment (P < 0.05); The Oswestry low back pain disability index decreased from (41.35 +/- 9.87)% before treatment to (23.17 +/- 17.56)% after treatment (P < 0.05); The survival quality interference degree decreased from 6.5 +/- 2.2 before treatment to 2.6 +/- 1.4 after treatment (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe sacrococcygeal gap injection for treatment of failed back surgery syndrome has advantages of simple, safe, fewer complications, and low treatment cost.

Background and purpose:Lung cancer is thought to be caused by multiple-step carcinogenesis. Identification of the genetic alterations that occur in tumors is an important approach to understanding carcinogenesis. We identified chromosomal abnormality in lung cancer by the molecular cytogenetic techniques of comparative genomic hybridisation(CGH),the technology could help to comprehend the relationship between chromosome abnormality, different patho-types,and clinical features of lung cancer.Methods:CGH was used to detect the global genomic aberration in the fresh cancer tissue cells from 30 patients with lung cancer.Results:Chromosomal abnormality were detected in all of 30 cases with lung cancer,the altofrequent gains in 1p11-p22,5p11-p14,16p 11-P12,19q13, 19p 13,20p12,21q21 and the altofrequent losses in 5q,6p24-pter,9p31-qter,13q21-qter,14q21-qter were found in all three types of lung cancer,the marked differences of chromosomal abnormalities in three types of lung cancer were also found.Conclusions:The cytogenetic aberration exists generally in lung cancer cells,the cytogenetic aberration is the base of the initiation and progression of the lung cancer.There are some different chromosomal abnormalities between different types of lung cancer,which may serve as a marker to differential diagnosos of the three types of lung cancer.As to the progression of malignant neoplastic disease,the complexity of chromosomal abnormality is obviously elevated.Different carcinogenic agents(smoking for example)may induce different chromosomal abnormalities.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy and safety of docetaxol, pemetrexed and EGFR-TKIs in the second-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

METHODSThe clinical data of 170 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who failed standard first-line chemotherapy were reviewed. Those who received docetaxol as second-line therapy were designated as group A (n = 60), those who received pemetrexed as second-line therapy were designated as group B (n = 49), and those who received EGFR-TKIs as second-line therapy were designated as group C (n = 61). PFS and MST were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and the differences between groups were compared by log-rank test.

RESULTSThe response rate in the groups A, B and C group was 15.0% (9/60), 24.5% (12/49) and 36.1% (22/61), respectively. The PFS after second-line therapy in the groups A, B and C was 5.49 months (95%CI: 4.03 - 6.95 months), 5.42 months (95%CI: 4.23 - 6.60 months) and 9.31 months (95%CI: 6.88 - 11.73 months), respectively (P = 0.045). The MST after second-line therapy in the groups A, B and C was 14.89 months (95%CI: 11.23 - 18.55 months), 15.81 months (95%CI: 12.11 - 19.52 months) and 17.47 months (95%CI: 13.38 - 21.56 months), respectively (P = 0.574). Regression analysis showed that the performance status score (PS) and response for second-line treatment are independent prognostic factors in each sub-group, and pathological type is an independent prognostic factor in the group C (P = 0.003).

CONCLUSIONSThe safety of the three drugs used as second-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, who failed standard first-line chemotherapy, is comparable, but the EGFR-TKIs group has the highest response rate, and the EGFR-TKIs group has the longest PFS with a statistically significant difference, while there is no significant difference in MST among the three groups. When patients receive second-line treatment, the performance status < 2 and the response rate for second-line treatment are independent prognostic factors. Furthermore, pathological type (adenocarcinoma) is also an independent prognostic factor for EGFR-TKIs as second-line treatment.

Objective To understand the malaria epidemic situation in Hubei Province from 2010 to 2014,so as to provide the evidence for formulating the effective malaria elimination strategies and measures in this province. Methods The data from the Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention were collected and analyzed with the descriptive epidemiological method for the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Hubei Province from 2010 to 2014. Results A total of 997 malaria cases were reported in Hubei Province from 2010 to 2014,there were 618 cases of vivax malaria,352 cases of falciparum malaria,18 cases of Plasmodium ovale infection,and 9 cases of Plasmodium malariae infec?tion. Among all the reported cases,479 were local cases and 518 were imported cases. No local malaria cases were reported from Hubei Province since 2013. The overall imported malaria cases showed a gradual increasing trend from 2010 to 2014,the pro?portion of falciparum malaria increased quite significantly from 2010 to 2014. The malaria cases were mainly distributed in Xiangyang,Wuhan,Xiaogan,Yichang,Jingmen and Suizhou cities,reaching 81.85%of the cases of the whole province. There were 810 male cases and 187 female cases,with a sex ratio of 4.33∶1. The local malaria cases were mainly aged from 40 to 69 years,accounted for 78.29%of the total local cases,and 88.22%(457/518)of the whole local cases were concentrated in 20-49 age groups. The local cases were mainly farmers(67.01%). Among the imported malaria cases,the occupation distribution concentrated mainly on the worker,migrant worker,and farmer(63.90%). Conclusions The local malaria epidemic situation has been effectively controlled in Hubei Province,which reflects the initiative achievements of malaria elimination. However, there are still many imported malaria cases from abroad. Therefore,the imported malaria from abroad still remains the key of ma?laria control in Hubei Province.

Background and Objective Keshan disease is clinically characterized as a dilated eardiomyopathy. We analyze the prevalence trend during last decade of hypertension and Keshan-disease in Yangzhuang village which was a Keshan-disease epidemic area.Method The survey including medical history,blood pressure and ECG were carried out every two years during the follow up 13 years.Results During follow up period,the total detection rate(hypertension:13.4 % vs Keshan-disease:10.7 %,?~2=8.555,P=0.002)and the accumulative rate of hypertension were higher than those of Keshan-disease,which was on the contrary to that before 1993,when increasing rate of Keshan-disease was higher than hypertension.Furthermore,the accumulative increasing rate of hypertension was 240.0%,which was higher than the national average level during corresponding period with no significant differences between female and male.Conclusion The detection rate of hypertension in Keshan disease epidemic area was higher than the average rate nation-wide.Whether the hypertension prevalence was re- lated to Keshan-disease needs further investigation.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube in the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction. Methods A total of 221 patients with simple adhesive small intestinal obstruction, who were admitted to authors’ hospital during the period from January 2010 to Aug. 2014, were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group (n=111) and nasogastric tube group (n=110). After the procedure, the patients were kept under close observation, focusing on the abdominal distention, gastrointestinal decompression amount, the recovery time of anal exhaustion and defecation, the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film, etc. The cure rate, effective rate and transit-operation rate were calculated. The results were compared between the two groups. Results The tube placement operation was successfully performed in all patients. Compared with the nasogastric tube group, in the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the recovery time of abdominal distention, anal exhaustion and defecation and the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film were obviously shorter, and the gastrointestinal decompression amount was larger. In the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the cure rate and effective rate were significantly increased, while the transit-operation rate was decreased; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction, the placement of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube is effective and reliable. This technique can strikingly improve the clinical symptoms, therefore, it is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
