Purpose To explore the role of scanning laser tomography in the assessment of macular hole surgery. Methods Fifteen eyes of 14 patients with macular holes underwent scanning of their affected macular area using the Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT). The significance of topographic changes postoperatively were determined in eleven eyes which received vitrectomy surgery. The scan field was set at 15? of the retina and the depth was set to 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm. All the measurements were taken for 3 times and the average value of the 3 measurements was used. Results The average hole area was (0.499?0.34) mm 2 and the maximal depth of the hole was (0.284?0.11) mm. Topographic difference analysis of the eleven eyes showed a significant reduction in the height of the retina after vitrectomy. The maximal depth of the hole was (0.063?0.04) mm postoperatively. Conclusion Scanning laser tomography provides an objective evaluation of the anatomic outcome of the macular hole surgery.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of cool restrain stress on the accumulation of eosinophils and expression of Th cytokines in rat nasal mucosa with allergic rhinitis model.
METHODSFifty healthy female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, allergic rhinitis (AR) group, AR plus stress group, stress plus AR group and simultaneous stress-AR group. Cool restrain stress, AR model and simultaneous stress-AR were made. Nasal mucosa of septum from rats of five groups were stained routinely by haematoxylin eosin (HE) and immunohistochemistry respectively. The density of eosinophils and expression of interleukin (IL)2, IL-6 were observed by using software of image analysis systems under microscope.
RESULTSThe density of eosinophiles and IL-6 in the nasal mucosa of stress-AR group were significantly higher than those in AR [(14.1 +/- 3.2) for eosinophiles, and (15.3 +/- 4.8) for IL-6 ] and were also significantly higher than those in control groups [(2.3 +/- 1.4) for eosinophiles, and (4.9 +/- 2.4) for IL-6)], and the differences reached statistical significance. (F were respectively 7.06, 7.14, 8.54, 8.20, P were respectively < 0.05 or < 0.01), but no significant differences of the three groups (AR plus stress, stress plus AR and simultaneous stress-AR groups) were found (F were respectively 2.90 and 3.20, P > 0.05). The expression of IL-2 in nasal mucosa of stress-AR group was significantly reduced compared with AR and control groups (F were respectively 7.27, 7.32, P were respectively < 0.05 or < 0.01). But there were also no significant differences of the three groups (AR plus stress, stress plus AR and simultaneous stress-AR groups, F = 3.12, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe abnormal infiltration and accumulation of eosinophiles and the differences in expression of IL-2 and IL-6 which represented Th1 and Th2 cytokines in rats nasal mucosa varied in different groups. The eosinophiles and IL-6 were rarely expressed in control group and moderately expressed in AR group, but significantly expressed in cool restrain groups. The IL-2 representing Th1 cytokines were reduced in cool restrain stress gruops. All these results indicated that cool restrain stress might play a role in inducing rat allergic rhinitis.

Objective To detect the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and analyse the related clinical factors in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods Patients with CKD in our department from March 1st to July 1st were enrolled continuously.The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) were detected by electrochemiluminescence and immunochemiluminescent respectively.Serum calcium,phosphorus and albumin were measured by automatic biochemical instrument.Results 127 patients were selected and the average age was (60.9?15.3).The mean level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was (12.06?6.41)?g/L.82.6% patients had vitamin D deficiency and 96.9% patients had vitamin D insufficiency.The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin had no statistics difference D3 between stage 1,2 and 3 CKD patients but was much hihger than that of stage 4 and non-haemodialysis stage 5 patients.The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was not related to serum calcium,phosphorus and iPTH,while positively related to albumin and eGFR and negatively related to serum creatinine and total cholesterol.Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are frequent in CKD patients and deteriorate with the progress of kidney function impairment.The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is not related to the traditional CKD-MBD index such as serum calcium,phosphorus and iPTH.

Objective To observe the changes of soluble L-selectin(sL-selectin) concentrations in children with viral encephalitis(VE) and probe its significance in pathogenesy and clinic.Methods Selecting 30 children with VE,including 14 mild case and 16 severe case.Collecting their venous blood and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) in acute and recovery stage.Using double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method to measure sL-selectin concentrations of serum and CSF and comparing with control group,respectively.Results SL-selectin concentrations from serum and CSF in the acute stage were significantly higher than those of control group(all P0.05).Conclusions L-selectin may participate in the pathologic course in VE.The concentrations of sL-selectin from serum and CSF are related with the patients′ condition and it has important reference value in judging patients′ condition,assessing their prognose and guiding clinical treatment.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical effects of Fuzheng Huayu Gantang comprehensive therapeutic program (FHGP) on post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis associated with glyco-metabolic abnormality (LCGA).
METHODSThe patients with LCGA enrolled in the randomized controlled clinical trial were assigned to 2 groups, the treated group (68 cases) and the control group (74 cases), they were treated respectively by FHGP and conventional TCM and Western medicine therapeutic program for 3 months. Indexes including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h postprandial plasma glucose (2 h PG), fasting insulin (FINS) were detected, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated, and the score of syndrome was recorded before and after treatment. Then the effects on syndrome and glyco-metabolic abnormality were evaluated through statistical analysis.
RESULTSLevel of 2 h PG after treatment was lowered in both groups (P < 0.01), but significant difference was found in the pre-treatment to post-treatment decrement of FPG and HOMA-IR between the two groups (P < 0.05). The syndrome improving rate and the total effective rate on glyco-metabolic abnormality in the treated group were significantly better than those in the control group respectively (85.3% vs 64.9% , P < 0.01; 80.9% vs 62.2%, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONFHGP has the capability to improve the syndrome and glyco-metabolic abnormality of patients with LCGA.
