AlM: To study the trabeculectomy clinical effect of use tunnel knife to make double - deck scleral flap and to cut off the layer scleral flap of glaucoma.METHODS: Using the random grouping method to divide 46 cases (60 eyes) of glaucoma into the treatment group of 24 cases (32 eyes) and control group of 22 cases (28 eyes). The treatment group, tunnel knife was used to make double- deck sclera flap and superficial scleral flap about the size of 5mm×5. 5mm, 1/3 scleral thickness, under the sclera flap made another one about the size of 3. 5mm× 4mm, 1/3 scleral thickness, resected the middle layer of the sclera flap, removed 2mm×2mm trabecular tissue, underwent routine peripheral iridectomy, could adjust suture the superficial scleral flap, sutured Ball fascia and bulbar conjunctiva. ln control group, routine glaucoma trabeculectomy was undergone.RESULTS:Patients were followed up for 1a, the vision in treatment group was obviously better than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P< 0. 05). The postoperative intraocular pressure of the two groups of patients were significantly lower than that of the preoperative one. Postoperative 1 and 3mo, no statistical significant difference of intraocular pressure in two group(P>0. 05). But after 6 and 12mo, the intraocular pressure of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). Postopeartive 1a, the cumulative complete success rate and conditions for successful rate were 90. 63% and 96. 88% in the treatment group, and those were 75% and 89. 29% in control group. There was significant difference between two groups(P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON:The trabeculectomy have a good effect to lower the intraocular pressure by use tunnel knife to make double-deck scleral flap and to cut off the layer scleral flap. The scleral flap have uniform thickness, smooth surface, and the function of the filtering bleb maintained for a long time, less postoperative complications, suitable for various types of glaucoma, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.

The labeled compounds, CdTe was combined with anti-fluoranthene antibody, had good dispersion and stability with the fluorescence intensity enhancing. A direct competitive fluorescent immunoassay with CdTe-anti-fluoranthene antibody to detect fluoranthene in water sample in the environment was developed. The result showed that fluoranthene can be determined in the concentration range from 0.1 μg/L to 1000 μg/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9983, a sensitivity of (IC_(50)) of 12.4 μg/L and a detection limit (IC_(20)) of 13.1 ng/L. Trace environmental pollutant in environmental water samples were successfully determined with a good accuracy and suitability. The recovery was between 95.1% and 111.0%, with relative standard deviation less than 9%.

AIM: To study p42/p44 mitogen - activated protein kinases ( MAPK ) signal transduction pathway effect on vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) expression induced by elevated glucose concentration in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium ( hRPE) .
METHODS:hRPE cells were cultured and divided into four groups:normal glucose group (NG) (5. 6mmol/L), high glucose group ( HG1:15mmol/L D-glucose, HG2:20mmol/L D - glucose, HG3:30mmol/L D - glucose ), PD98059 group: hRPE cells were treated by an efficient and selective inhibitor PD98059 (20μmol/L) of p42/p44MAPK signal transduction pathway and solvent dimethyl sulfoxide group ( DMSO group) . The expression of VEGF and pigment epithelium derived factor ( PEDF ) mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. VEGF protein expression in cultured hRPE supernatants was detected by enzyme-linked immumosorbent assay ( ELISA) .
RUSULTS: VEGF mRNA and protein expression induced by elevated glucose concentration increased significantly. VEGF mRNA and protein expression were restrained in PD98059 group. Ratio of ( VEGF/β-actine)/( PEDF/β - actine ) in PD98059 group decreased significantly compare with that in high glucose group.
CONCLUSION: p42/p44MAPK signal transduction pathway might play a part in VEGF expression induced by elevated glucose concentration in cultured hRPE cells.

Objective To explore the clinical feature of acquired pure amegakdryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura(AATP).Methods 18 patients were analyzed retrospectively.And 112 patients with ITP in the same term were to be control group.Each group's megakaryocytic (MK),platelet (PLT) count,mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet associated immunoglobulin G(PAIgG) were rested.Results The MK total number of AATP group was obvious decreased or even absent,while the ITP group was increased[(0.8?1.5) vs (195.0?47.3),P0.05).About the PAIgG posi- tive rate,AATP group was 55.6 % while ITP group was 83% (P

Objective To explore the effects of applying microsurgical technique in the one-stage urethroplasty for hypospadias with longitudinal preputial island flaps of dorsum penis. Methods Forty-two hypospadias cases with obvious phallocampsis were reviewed. The patients aged from 1 to 19 years (median, 6.4 years). Among them, 6 cases were of coronary suleus type, 28 cases of pe-nis body type, and 8 cases of penis and scrotum type. All patients went through the operative proce-dures by microscope with four-times magnification and microsurgical instruments. Longitudinal prepu-tial island flaps of dorsum penis was employed for the treatment of 33 cases of these patients, and 9 cases underwent longitudinal preputial island flaps of dorsum penis combined scrotal septal pedicle flaps. Results Thirty-eight cases were cured by one-time surgery (90.5%). One case with urethral fistula after operation was cured by surgical repair of urethral fistula. Two cases with urethral meatus stricture after operation and one with urethral stoma stricture were cured by dilatation. Patients were followed for 9 to 52 months (mean, 27 months). Conclusion Use of microsurgical technique with longitudinal preputial island flaps of dorsum penis in one-stage urethroplasty for hypospadias improved the success rate of surgery with few complications.

Rotating wall vessels (RWVS), an ingenious apparatus for three-dimensional suspension culture, is widely used to build a simulated microgravity-effect on cell. Independent researchers have proposed hypotheses to illustrate why RWVS can simulate certain aspects of microgravity. Many of the hypotheses stated that the culture condition in RWVS is determined by the cellular mechanical environment which is a result of low fluid shear and microcarrier's motion. The microcarrier's motions consist of primary and secondary motions. In the light of the analysis of forces loaded by the microcarriers, some conclusions are drawn from the data on microcarriers' primary and secondary motions about which many simulations and observations have already been conducted.

Objective To analyze clinical management and outcomes of perinatal fetuses born in triplet and multiple pregnancy.Methods Data of clinical management and outcomes of 55 perinatal fetuses born during 1996 to 2005 by women with triplet and multiple pregnancy were analyzed retrospectively.Results Antenatal check-up was performed regularly for 1/6 of those pregnant women during 1996 to 2000,as compared to that of 8/11 during 2001 to 2005(P<0.05).No significant difference in incidence of varied obstetric complications was found between those during 1996 to 2000 and during 2001 to 2005.Average gestational week at birth was(32.7±2.8)and(35.1±1.9)weeks(P<0.05),and averagebirth weight was(1561±471)grams and(1987±453)grams(P<0.01),respectively for them during 1996 to 2000 and during 2001 to 2005.Caesarean section was performed more for the pregnant women in the earlier first five years than in the later five years,but not reaching statistical significance.Incidence of neonatal complications significantly decreased in the later five years than that in the earlier five yeats,including hyaline membrane disease,neonatal asphyxia,infectious diseases,intracranial hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage(P<0.05),but difference in incidence of apnea and low body temperature between the earlier and later five years did not reach statistical significance.Perinantal mortality was 8 in 35 births in the later five years,as compared to that of 12 in 20 births in earlier five years(P<0.01).Conclusions Outcomes of perinatal fetuses in triplet and multiple pregnancy can be improved by combined action of obstetricians and pediatricians,including regular antenatal examination,active prevention and treatment for pregnant complications and preterm infant diseases,earlier admission waiting for delivery to prolong gestational weeks and increase birth weight,and applying antenatal dexamethasone therapy.
