Objective To evaluate the appearances of ultrasound in bacterial endophthalmitis. Methods Thirty patients with endo-ophthalmitis (in 30 eyes) were examined by ultrasound and pathology, and their appearances were compared. Results All appearance in 30 patients (in 30 eyes) with endo-phthalmitis showed the turbidly of punctiform, fine particle, mass in ultrasound and bacterium, leukocytic infihrate,the patch of tissue in pathology. And two ways was correspond to diagnosis endophthalmitis. Conclusions Ultrasound can be used as an effective method to diagnose endophthalmitis.

Objective To evaluate the methods of correction for secondary deformity after removal of polyacrylamide hydrogel in breast.Methods From June 2006 to December 2007,the Center of Breast Plastic and Reconstruction at Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences admitted and treated 36 patients who experienced deformity after polyacrylamide hydrogel remoral in breasts.The average age of the patients was 27.5 years,and the time of consultation for the correction was from 6 months postoperatively.The patients who had preoperative MRI examinations showed that no visible polyacrylamide hydrogel remained in the breast were included in the study.The patients were classified according to the deformity of the breast and the chest wall tissue.Autologous fat injection grafting,silicon gel implant augmentation,and dermis grafting were performed for treating the deformity of the breasts after polyacrylamide hydrogel removal.Results During 3 to 18 months follow-up,the shape of the breast was improved and no complications such as infection,the sclerotic nodules,implant exposure occurred.35(97.2%) patients were satisfied with the result of the operations.Conclusions The correction for secondary deformity of breast after removal of PAHG should be performed at least 6 months after removal of polyacrylamide hydrogel.The optimal and nature contour of the breast may be recovered by combination of various surgical methods which are carefully selected according to the individual situation.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of autologous fat injection augmentation with external tissue expander.Methods 26 cases wore the Brava device,a bra-like vacuum-based external tissue expander for 4 weeks before autologous fat injection augmentation.Patients resumed Brava wear for 14 more days after fat injection.Results 26 women had a mean augmentation volume at 3 months of 76 ml per breast after single fat injection.Follow-up ranged from 1 month to 12 months.There were no complications such as nodules,masses,or cysts occurred.Patient satisfaction was as sessed:25 cases (95.6 ％) were satisfied with the cosmetic results.Conclusions The addition of Brava expansion before autologous fat grafting leads to significantly larger breast augmentations,with more fat graft placement,higher graft survival rates,and minimal graft necrosis or complications,demonstrating high safety and efficacy for the procedure.

Objective To evaluate of the clinical efficacy and side-effect of 595nm tunable pulsed dye laser in treatment of children heamangioma of skin. Methods A retrospective study was conducted according to 76 children patients with heamangioma of skin (including 53 cases of nevus flammenus, 20 strawberry hemangioma and 3 cavernous hemangioma) treated with 595nm tunable pulsed dye laser. We evaluated the efficacy and side-effect of the treatment. Results The effectiveness rates were 83.2% and 86.63%, respectively, in nevus flammenus and strawberry hemangioma, but there were disappointed efficacy obtained in patients with cavernous hemangioma treated with 595nm tunable pulsed dye laser. There was 7.9% of the side-effect rate in the children with heamangioma of skin treated by 595 nm tunable pulsed dye laser. Conclusion There is satisfactory clinical efficacy and lower side-effect for children hemangioma treated by 595nm tunable pulsed dye laser.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Shenqi jiangtang granule in the adjuvant treatment of type 2 dia-betes knee arthritis. METHODS:62 patients with type 2 diabetes knee arthritis were randomly divided into control group(31 cas-es) and observation group (31 cases). Control group received hypoglycemic and basic treatment for arthritis,including diet con-trol,exercise therapy and health education,as well as 0.25 g Metformin hydrochloride tablet with a meal,3 times a day + 50 mg Acarbose tablet with a meal,3 times a day,chewing;patients with arthritis pain 100 mg Aspirin enteric-coated tablet after a meal, once a day (chewing or breaking apart was prohibited). Observation group additionally received 3 g Shenqi jiangtang granule half an hour before a meal with 50 ml warm water,3 times a day. The treatment course for both groups was 6 months. Clinical effica-cy,and fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 h PG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6 before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the FPG,2 h PG,HbA1c,IL-1β and IL-6 between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,FPG,2 h PG,HbA1c,IL-1β and IL-6 in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). And there was no significant in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,Shenqi jiangtang granule shows obvious efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of type 2 diabetes knee arthritis.,it can reduce blood glucose and inflammation cy-tokine levels,mild symptoms of adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the scale of self-efficacy and the influencing factors among the elderly diabetic population in rural communities in Shanghai . Method The diabetic patients in the rural communities were involved in the study by questionnaire to analyze the patient′s self-efficacy and its influencing factors. Results The total score of self-efficacy was (77.48 ± 22.22), with the index score of 59.60%. By multiple stepwise regression analysis, the influencing factors were age, education level and annual income. Conclusions The self-efficacy of diabetic patients is at a low level. To improve their self-efficacy, we should strengthen the education to the diabetic patients with age of 40~49 or poor in education or lower in income.

Objective To explore the correlation between thyroid nodules and uric acid levels and to find their gender differences.Methods A total of 68 056 subjects in a regional medical physical examination center of Shanxi Province from January 2013 to June 2015 were enrolled in this study.All the participants′ general information and parameters were recorded.Thyroid nodules were detected by color Doppler ultrasonography.Results The total prevalence of thyroid nodule was 35.5%, 30.7% in males and 40.0% in females.The prevalence of single nodule was 50.1%, and multiple 49.9%.Compared with no nodule group, thyroid nodule group tended to be older, with higher BMI, and with a worse metabolic status(all P<0.01).The uric acid levels were lower[(352.37±78.14 vs 357.70±77.51) μmol/L, P<0.01] in thyroid nodule group in male and higher[(260.22±61.91 vs 253.91±59.18) μmol/L, P<0.01] in female.Conclusion Thyroid nodules may be associated with metabolism and inflammation.In males, hyperuricemia group had lower, while in females, hyperuricemia ones were with a higher prevalence of thyroid nodules.

Breast augmentation using polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) was widely used in China. We present the first case of delayed breast inflammation after 2019 novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV) infection in a patient who recieved breast augmentation with PAHG 20 years ago, without any other predispositions. The 45-year-old female patient complained of severe breast swelling and pain three weeks after 2019-nCoV infection. The swelling extended from the upper clavicle to the upper abdomen. Delayed inflammation reaction was diagnosed, followed by emergency surgery. During the surgery, the injected material was observed to gush out in a form of greenish and thin paste, with a foul odor. The wound had extensive diffuse oozing and hemoglobin decreased significantly. The patient was discharged one week after surgery. During a three-month follow-up, she experienced weakness and fatigue with no complications. There are still many unknown areas of the impact of 2019-nCoV on human foreign bodies and immune system, which is diverse and complex. Reporting various possible symptoms and mechanisms is conducive to improving the level of awareness and intervention of plastic surgeons.
