Objective To compare the consistency and difference of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and traditional multimodal fundus imaging in the diagnosis and activity evaluation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods A total of 112 exudative AMD patients (130 eyes) were included in this retrospective study, 62 were men (71 eyes) and 50 were women (59 eyes). The mean age was (68.250±9.789) years (range 50–91 years). All patients were underwent traditional multimodal fundus imaging including fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT);OCTA was performed at the same time. The CNV type was divided into active and non-active according to the results of traditional multimodal fundus imaging. The vascular pattern was divided into active and non-active according to the results of OCTA. Using traditional multimodal fundus imaging as the standard, the sensitivity and specialty of OCTA was evaluated. Results In 130 eyes, CNV was visualized on traditional multimodal fundus imaging in 109 eyes (83.8%);CNV was visualized on OCTA in 103 eyes (79.2%), which including 7 eyes of false negative and 1 eye of false positive. The sensitivity of OCTA for CNV diagnosis was 93.6%, with specificity of 95.2%. The CNV detection rate between two methods had no significant difference (Youden index=0.89, Kappa value=0.796, P=0.07). In 109 eyes diagnosed with CNV by traditional multimodal fundus imaging, 73 eyes (67.0%) were active CNV and 36 eyes (33.0%) were non-active CNV;the vascular pattern was active in 60 eyes (55.0%) and non-active in 49 eyes (45.0%). The sensitivity of OCTA for the detection of active CNV was 82.2%, with specificity of 100.0%. The active CNV detection rate between two methods had no significant difference (Youden index=0.82, Kappa value=0.753, P=0.00). Conclusion In the diagnosis and activity evaluation of CNV in exudative AMD, there is remarkable consistency between OCTA and traditional multimodal fundus imaging.

Objective: To investigate the factors affecting the depressive symptoms among patients with colorectal cancer in Chengdu City, so as to provide insights into mental health improvement among colorectal cancer patients. Methods: Patients with colorectal cancer were enrolled from three hospitals in Chengdu City using the convenient sampling method. The basic information, life styles and cancer diagnosis and therapy were collected, and the depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale ( SDS ). In addition, factors affecting the depressive symptoms were identified using the multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 384 patients with colorectal cancer were enrolled, including 247 men ( 64.32% ), and the subjects had a mean age of ( 57.47±11.39 ) years and a mean SDS score of 37.73±9.15. The detection rate of depressive symptoms was 15.36%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that colorectal cancer patients with a history of radiotherapy had a high risk of developing depressive symptoms ( OR=0.468, 95%CI: 0.245-0.895 ), while patients with alcohol consumption ( OR=0.407, 95%CI: 0.172-0.963 ) and drinking tea ( OR=0.470, 95%CI: 0.244-0.904 ) had a low risk of developing depressive symptoms. Conclusions The detection of depressive symptoms is 15.36% among patients with colorectal cancer in Chengdu City, and a history of radiotherapy, alcohol consumption and drinking tea affect the development of depressive symptoms among patients with colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: It has been confirmed that acidic peptide has good therapeutic effect on rat models of Alzheimer disease, but the mechanism still needs further exploration.OBJECTIVE: To observe whether acidic peptide can inhibit the production of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) and beta-amyloid (β-amyloid) in brain, and accelerate the production and excretion of nerve growth factor (NGF) in rats with Alzheimer disease.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhengzhou University.MATERIALS: The experiments were finished in the first laboratory of Institute of Bioactive Peptide, Zhengzhou University and the Cellular Culture Center, School of Basic Medical Sciences of Zhengzhou University from March 2005 to May 2006. Seventy 10-week-old healthy male SD rats without dementia symptoms were randomly divided into 7 groups with 10 rats in each group: normal control group, model group, saline group, glutamic acid 0.3 g/kg group, acidic peptide 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg groups.METHODS: Except the normal control group, the rats in the other 6 groups were induced into models of Alzheimer disease by damaging bilateral nucleus basalis of Meynert with ibotenic acid, and then intragastric administration of glutamic acid (0.3 g/kg) was given in the glutamic acid 0.3 g/kg group, acidic peptide of corresponding dosages in the acidic peptide 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg groups, and isovolume saline in the saline group respectively, 2 mL for each time, once a day for 20 days continuously.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The learning ability of the rats was detected with Y-maze test immediately after the end of intragastric administration, and the times of correct responses were recorded. ② After the end of learning and memory test, the head was cut rapidly to remove brain,treated with immunohistochemical staining, and gray value was scanned with Biosens Digital Imaging System to determine the contents of NMDAR,NGF and β-amyloid in the brain of rats.RESULTS: All the 70 rats were involved in the analysis of results. ①Times of correct responses in the Y-maze test were lower in the other 6groups than in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.01), but higher in the acidic peptide 30 and 60 mg/kg groups than in the model group, saline group, glutamic acid 0,3 g/kg group and acidic peptide 15 mg/kg group (P ＜ 0.01). ②The gray values of NGF in basal forebrain in the model group, saline group,glutamic acid 0.3 g/kg group and acidic peptide 15 mg/kg group were lower than that in the normal control group (69.60±2.41, 69.62±1.46, 69.62±1.46,69.73±1.87, 80.77±2.72, P ＜ 0.01); There were no significant differences between the acidic peptide 30 and 60 mg/kg groups (79.39±2.23, 80.20±1.7, P ＞ 0.05), which were higher than the other groups. ③ The gray values of NMDAR and β-amyloid in cerebral cortex in the model group,saline group, glutamic acid 0.3 g/kg group and acidic peptide 15 mg/kg group were lower than those in the normal control group (NMDAR: 81.01±1.38, 81.31±2.06, 81.37±1.39, 79.38±1.23, 69.50±1.04; β-amyloid:74.26±1.39, 74.89±8.66, 74.88±1.46, 74.16±2.48, 67.40±3.06, P ＜ 0.01),and There were no significant differences between the acidic peptide 30and 60 mg/kg groups (P ＞ 0.05), which were lower than the other groups.CONCLUSION: Acidic peptide of 30 and 60 mg/kg can obviously ameliorate the learning and memory abilities in rat models of Alzheimer disease, which may be realized mainly through up-regulating the NGF content in basal forebrain and down-regulating the NMDAR and β-amyloid contents in cerebral cortex.
