AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone combined macular grid photocoagulation treatment for macular edema.
METHODS: Totally 150 cases (150 eyes) with macular edema in our hospital from July 2009 to November 2013 were selected, which were randomly divided into study group (75 cases, 75 eyes) and control group (75 cases, 75 eyes) . The cases in control group were treated with macular grid photocoagulation treatment, those in the study group used triamcinolone acetonide combined macular grid photocoagulation treatment. Best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , parallel optical coherence tomography ( OCT) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were detected before treatment, after treatment 7d, 1, 3, and 9mo.
RESULTS:After the treatment, patients' vision were significantly improved in two groups (P<0. 05). In the study group 7d, 1, 3, and 9mo after operation, the visual acuity was better than the control group and preoperative (P<0. 05); fovea macular neurosensory layer thickness decreased significantly (P<0. 05). In the control group, the point omentum macular neurosensory retinal thickness was not statistically significant at 7d, 1, 3, and 9mo after operation compared with before treatment (P>0. 05). Fovea macular neurosensory retinal thickness in the study group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0. 05). Intraocular pressure of 7 cases in the study group increased slightly, and were normal after treatment.
CONCLUSION: Triamcinolone acetonide combined macular grid photocoagulation treatment is accurate, can effectively improve the visual acuity, reduce macular edema, it is safe and reliable, and suitable for clinical application.

Objective To analyze the correlation of the mutations of exon 4 of pulmonary surfactant protein (SP)-B and SP-C with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in Mongolian premature infants. Methods Fifty cases of hospitalized genetically unrelated Mongolian premature infants with RDS ( 31 males, 19 females) were recruited as RDS group. In the same period, 50 cases ( 27 males, 23 females) of non RDS genetically unrelated premature infants of same ethnicity were choose as the control group. PCR and gene detection were used to detect exon 4 of SP-B and SP-C genes. The differences of the genovariation and genotype frequency of 1580 locus in exon 4 in SP-B, and of c. 571 C?>?A (T 138 N) locus in exon 4 in SP-C were compared between two groups. Results The genovariation of 1580 locus in exon 4 in SP-B was detected in 14 cases (with aberration rate of 28%) in RDS group and in 11 cases (with aberration rate of 22%) in control group, and the difference is not signiifcant between two groups (χ2=0 . 480 , P?>?0 . 05 ). The genotype frequency of CC, TT and CT gene in 1580 locus were 16%, 72%, and 12%respectively in RDS group;and 10%, 78%, and 12%respectively in control group. Meanwhile, the C and T gene frequency was 22% and 78% respectively in RDS group, and 16% and 84% in control group. There was no significant difference in genotype frequency between two groups (χ2=1 . 170 , P?>?0 . 05 ). The genovariation of c. 571 C?>?A (T 138 N) locus in exon 4 in SP-C was detected in 41 cases (with aberration rate of 82%) in RDS group and in 6 cases (with aberration rate of 12%) in control group, and the difference is signiifcant between the two groups (χ2=49 . 177 , P?0 . 05 ). The genotype frequency of CC, AA and AC gene in c. 571 C?>?A (T 138 N) locus were 18%, 50%, and 32%respectively in RDS group;and 88%, 8%, and 4%in control group. Meanwhile, the C and A gene frequency was 34%and 66%respectively in RDS group, and 90%and 10%in control group. There was a signiifcant difference in A gene frequency between the two groups (χ2=66 . 553 , P?0 . 05 ). Conclusions Mongolian premature infants who carry A allelic of c. 571 C?>?A (T 138 N) locus in exon 4 in SP-C gene were in a higher risk of RDS. The mutation of 1580 locus in exon 4 in SP-B had no correlation with Mongolian premature RDS.

Objective Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD, OMIM 605814 ) is a novel autosomal recessive disease results from mutations in the gene SLC25A13 that encodes for citrin, a liver-type aspartate/glutamate cartier located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Most of the Chinese NICCD patients diagnosed by genetic analysis had the sameSLC25A13 mutations as Japanese, however, in some cases, the known mutations were not detected. This research aimed to identify novel SLC25A13 mutations in Chinese NICCD patients and to explore the experimental conditions for their genetic diagnosis.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of 3 NICCD patients from Taiwan (P757), Guangdong (P1194) and Hebei (P1443) Province of China, respectively; and all the 18 exons and their flanking sequences of SLC25A13 gene were sequenced. Furthermore, the identified novel mutations were diagnosed by amplification with PCR, digestion with corresponding restriction endonuclease, and agarose gel electrophoresis.Results Three novel mutations identified in SLC25A13 gene of the 3 NICCD patients were an abnormal splicing IVS7-2A>G (P757), a missense A541D (c. 1622C > A, P1194) and a nonsense R319X (c. 955C > T, P1443). The PCR-RFLP procedures for their genetic diagnosis were also established, with specific fragments on electrophoresis after digestion of the PCR products with three different restriction endonucleases Msp Ⅰ, Hpy188Ⅰ and Taq Ⅰ, respectively.Conclusions The three novel mutations in SLC25A13 gene of Chinese NICCD patients were first identified, suggesting that SLC25A13 mutation distributed in Chinese population is somewhat different from that in Japanese. Moreover, the PCR-RFLP diagnostic procedures established in this research provide valuable tools not only for the genetic diagnosis of NICCD but also for further molecular epidemiologic investigations in Chinese population.Acknowledgement We are grateful to all research subjects and their family members for their cooperation, and to many members of medical staff who contributed much to this research.
