Objective To explore the related factors affecting postoperative pneumonia in patients with cavernous cerebrovascular malformation (CCM).MethodsClinical data of 151 CCM patients admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to January 2017 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into postoperative pneumonia group (n=11) and postoperative non-pneumonia group (n=140) according to the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia. Univariate Logistic regression analysis, multivariate Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to screen the relevant factors influencing the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia in CCM patients and evaluate the predictive value of relevant factors in postoperative pneumonia.ResultsAs compared with patients from postoperative non-pneumonia group, patients from postoperative pneumonia group had significantly increased modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores and significantly higher percentage of CCM combined with hemorrhage, and significantly decreased Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative GCS scores (OR=4.75, 95％CI: 1.14-19.80,P=0.032) and mRS scores (OR=15.61, 95％CI: 3.22-75.58,P=0.001) were independent factors influencing the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia. ROC curve showed that the sensitivity and specificity of mRS scores≥4 to predict postoperative pneumonia were 45.5％ and 95.7％, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of GCS scores≤13 to predict postoperative pneumonia were 54.5％ and 85.7％, respectively.ConclusionFor CCM patients with preoperative GCS scores≤13 or mRS scores≥4, more attention should be paid to perioperative lung management and occurrence of postoperative pneumonia should be vigilant.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value ofcerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactic acid (LA) level in bacterial meningitis after craniotomy for cerebral hemorrhage in adults.Methods The clinical data of 162 patients with cerebral hemorrhage,admitted to and accepted craniotomy in our hospital from April 2013 to April 2018,were retrospectively collected;patients were divided into infected group (n=75) and non-infected group (n=87) according to whether postoperative bacterial meningitis occurred;univariate analysis was used to compare the differences of CSF-LA concentration and other indicators of CSF between patients of the two groups;multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent factors affecting the occurrence of postoperative bacterial meningitis;receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive values of CSF-LA and other indicators in postoperative bacterial meningitis.Furthermore,17 patients with positive bacterial CSF were divided into Gram-positive (G+) bacteria group (n=9) and Gram-negative (G-) bacteria group (n=8);the predictive values of CSF-LA and other indicators for postoperative meningitis of G-bacteria patients were analyzed in the same way.Results (1) The CSF-LA concentration in infected group ([6.3±2.8] mmol/L) was significantly increased as compared with that in non-infected group ([3.3±1.6] mmol/L,P＜0.05);the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CSF-LA was an independent influencing factor for postoperative bacterial meningitis (odd ratio=l.547,95％ confidence interval:1.029-2.326,P=0.036);ROC curve results revealed that the area under the curve of CSF-LA concentration in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis after craniotomy was 0.854 (95％ confidence interval:0.790-0.904),and the optimal cut-off value was 4.61 mmol/L,with sensitivity of 69.3％,specificity of 92.0％,positive predictive value of 88.1％ and negative predictive value of 77.7％.(2) The CSF-LA concentration in G-bacteria group ([9.9±2.9] mmol/L) was significantly increased as compared with that in G+ bacteria group ([5.2±3.1] mmoi/L,P＜ 0.05);ROC curve results revealed that,in patients with positive bacterial CSF,the area under the curve of CSF-LA concentration in diagnosis of meningitis with G-bacteria after craniotomy was 0.861 (95％ confidence interval:0.610-0.978),and the optimal cut-off value was 7.20 mmol/L with sensitivity of 87.5％,specificity of 88.9％,positive predictive value of 87.5％,and negative predictive value of 88.9％.Conclusion Detection for concentration of CSF-LA can help predicting bacterial meningitis afier craniotomy for cerebral hemorrhage and identify G+ and G-bacteria meningitis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) on the expression of interleukin (IL)-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in mice with ischemia-reperfusion acute kidney injury (IR-AKI). Methods All mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group (control group), ischemia-reperfusion injury group (IRI group) and BMSC treatment group (BMSC group), with 6 mice in each group, respectively. The renal function and pathological changes of mice were detected. The cell apoptosis of renal tissues of mice was determined. The expression levels of serum IL-10 and TNF-α of mice were quantitatively measured. The mouse BMSC was randomly divided into the control and hypoxia-reoxygenation groups (IRI group), and the expression levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in cell supernatant were determined. Results The renal structure of mice was normal in the control group, severe damage was observed in the IRI group, and mild damage occurred in the BMSC group. Compared with the control group, the renal tissue injury scores were significantly higher in the IRI and BMSC groups (both P < 0.05). Compared with the IRI group, the renal tissue injury score was significantly lower in the BMSC group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were remarkably up-regulated in the IRI group, and the level of BUN was significantly up-regulated in the BMSC group (all P < 0.05). Compared with the IRI group, the levels of Scr and BUN were significantly down-regulated in the BMSC group (both P < 0.05). In the IRI group, the quantity of apoptotic cells in the renal tissues was considerably higher than those in the BMSC and control groups, and the quantity of apoptotic cells in the BMSC group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of serum IL-10 and TNF-α were significantly up-regulated in the IRI group, whereas the level of serum TNF-α was significantly down-regulated and the level of serum IL-10 was significantly up-regulated in the BMSC group (all P < 0.05). Compared with the IRI group, the levels of serum IL-10 and TNF-α were significantly down-regulated in the BMSC group (both P < 0.05). The levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in the cell supernatant did not significantly differ between the IRI and control groups (P=0.080、0.627). Conclusions BMSC infusion may reduce the incidence of renal IRI and inflammation, probably via the mechanism of down-regulating TNF-α expression rather than up-regulating IL-10 expression.

Objective To investigate the related influence factors of the main extended direction of the pituitary macroadenoma in the vertical direction.Methods Clinical data of 184 pituitary macroadenoma patients were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The main extended direction in the vertical direction of the tumor was taken as the dependent variables.Patients were divided into two groups according to the suprasellar extension value of each tumor,(ie:suprasellar extension value＞0 and suprasellar extension value≤0).10 selected indicators (age,sex,tumor type,diameter of diaphragmatic opening,sphenoid sinus type,sella type morphology,main sphenoid sinus septum bias,maximum width of sphenoid sinus septum,tumor cyst,number of longitudinal sphenoid sinus septum) were taken as independent variables and the factors which may influence the main extended direction were analyzed and selected by logistic regression method.Results Among the 184 patients,there were 121 cases extending mainly to the suprasellar direction,while the left cases extending mainly to the opposite direction.Statistical analysis showed the tumor type (P=0.026),sphenoid sinus type (P=0.003),sella type morphology (P=0.046),diameter of diaphragmatic opening (P=0.003) and maximum width of the sphenoid sinus septum (P=0.009) were the independent predictors influencing the main expansion direction of pituitary macroadenomas in the vertical direction.Conclusions The pituitary macroadenoma is more likely to expand infrasellar in patients with sellar or sellaoccipital sphenoid sinus,sac sella turcica morphology,GH adenoma,smaller diaphragmatic opening diameter and narrower width of sphenoid sinus septum.The pituitary macroadenoma is more likely to expand suprasellar in patients with presellar sphenoid sinus,wok and cylinder sella turcica morphology,nonGH adenoma,larger diaphragmatic opening diameter and wider width of sphenoid sinus septum.

Ophthalmology is interrelated with a variety of disciplines, and its features determine the need for interdisciplinary joint training of postgraduate students majoring in ophthalmology. The joint training can optimize the students' knowledge structures, enhance their innovation abilities and improve their overall qualities. However, there are still some factors restricting the interdisciplinary joint training in the existing education system. We propose to establish a full-time administrative management system, build a multidisciplinary communication platform, attach great importance to tutors' interdisciplinary researches, and establish dual mentor or multi-tutor training system. Moreover, a reasonable interdisciplinary evaluation system and various incentive mechanisms are advocated to improve the quality of postgraduate education in ophthalmology.
