Objective To assess the effectiveness of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for the treatment of central exudative chorioretinopathy. Methods Tweenty nine eyes with central exudative chorioretinopathy were treated with Iris 810 nm diode laser TTT. The laser beam size was 1.0, 2.0 or 3 0 mm with power settings between 80 300 mW and treatment time 60 sec. The follow up periods were wihzin 4 40 weeks. The therapeutic effect was accessed by visual acuity examination,dinect ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein or indocyanine green angiography. Results The visual acuity improved in 8 eyes (28%), remained no change in 19 eyes (65%) and decreased in 2 eyes (7%). Choroidal neovascularization were closed in 12 eyes in fundus angiography. The symptoms alleviated in 10 patients. Conclusion Transpupillary thermotherapy is a potential treatment for the central exudative chorioretinopathy.

Pain is a subjective and emotional experience associated with tissue injury.Surgery can cause pain.The pain will cause sympathetic excitement,stress response,impact on circulation,respiration and neuroendocrine system,and increase heart rate,blood pressure and oxygen consumption.Pain is detrimental to cough and that can lead to atelectasis and hypoxemia because of airway secretions aggregation.Those are very unfavorable for children with congenital heart disease complicated with postoperative low cardiac output syndrome.In addition,there are greater stress response after congenital heart disease due to the operation and the cardiopulmonary bypass,so more attention should be payed to the postoperative pain.

Objective To translate the Personal Diabetes Questionnaire(PDQ),and test the relia bility and validity of the Chinese version of PDQ.Methods Through forward translation,back translation,cultural adjustment,etc.,the Personal Diabetes Questionnaire (PDQ) was introduced to localize it.60 eligible patients with diabetes were selected in a tertiary hospital to make a preliminary investigation.The results were statistically analyzed in order to assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of PDQ.Results The Chinese version of PDQ had good reliability,whose total internal consistency coefficient was 0.831 and test-retest reliability was 0.801.The questionnaire has good validity.Total Content Validity Index was 0.938.I-CVI was between 0.800 and 1.000.The questionnaire's dimensions had good parallel validity with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) and body mass index (BMI).Conclusions The Chinese Version of the personal diabetes questionnaire has good reliability and validity,which can be widely used as the evaluation tool of diabetes self-management education.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid (UA)levels and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk under specific lifestyle exposures.Methods Case-control study was used.Three hundred and ninety-seven PD cases and the same number of controls with matched age and gender were selected.Demographic and exposure information was collected by face-to-face interview,and blood biochemistry studies tested.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of PD risk with UA levels or enviromental factors.Results The highest value of UA levels was associated with a decreased PD risk compared to the lowest value (OR =0.39,95％ CI 0.25-0.63) in both male and female groups.This association was significant among nonsmokers (OR =0.52,95％ CI 0.32-0.76),nondrinkers (OR =0.4,95％ CI 0.34-0.70),and persons taking exercise more than 1 houre a day (OR =0.51,95％ CI 0.35-0.74).But no significant association was affected in the subjects with smoking or drinking history and those with less exercise (＜ 1 hour a day).Conclusion We confirmed that higher UA levels were associated with lower PD risk in Chinese population,and some lifestyles may modify the protection effect of serum UA.

Chondrosarcomas has low morbidity in China,but we should pay more attention to the results it contributed to.Patients usually have poor prognosis because of defect of surgical resection and resistance to con-ventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy.Chemotherapy is a significant method to the chondrosarcoma treatment. If we overcome the difficulty of chemoresistance,chemotherapy will kill the sarcoma cells efficiently and inhibit the capacity of metastasis and invasion.The patients will have better prognosis.Finding the mechanisms of che-moresistance in chondrosarcomas is the key, now we review sevaral recent mechanisms of chemoresistance in chondrosarcoma.

Objective:To explore the correlation between cognitive impairment and intestinal mucosal barrier injury in rats after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion(CCH), and to quantitatively analyze the changes in cognitive behavior of experimental rats caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, as well as the expression changes of the intestinal mucosal barrier claudin-1 and osteopontin.Methods:Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into CCH group ( n=15) and sham operation (SHAM) control group ( n=15). The CCH model was established by permanent ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries.Rats in the SHAM group only separated the common carotid artery without ligation.Four weeks later, open field experiment, object discrimination experiment, and Morris water maze experiment were used to detect the emotional arousal ability, the ability to explore new things, and the ability of spatial learning and memory in rats.HE staining and immunofluorescence experiments were conducted to detect the damage of rat ileum tissue.Western blot was used to detect OPN expression, and ELISA was used to detect serum OPN.SPSS 23.0 and GraphPad 8.0 statistical softwares were used to process the data, and the t-test and repeated measures one-way analysis of variance were used for data analysis. Results:In the open field test, compared with the SHAM group ((28.70±10.70)times, (1 030.45±81.51)cm), the number of standing and total exercise distance of rats in the CCH group ((16.70±7.13)times, (736.64±136.71)cm) were decreased( t=1.59, 4.16, both P<0.05). In the object discrimination experiment, the discrimination index of rats in the CCH group (0.44±0.26) was lower than that of the SHAM group (0.91±0.07, t=-7.76, P<0.05). Morris water maze positioning navigation experiment showed that the group main effect and time main effect were both significant( F=383.36, 153.87, P<0.05). Simple effect analysis showed that, compared with the SHAM group, the escape latency and total swimming distance of rats in CCH group increased( P<0.05). Space exploration experiment showed that, compared with SHAM group ((7.20±1.81)times, (9.96±2.95)s), the number of crossings of rats in CCH group ((3.00±0.82)times) decreased, and the incubation period ((29.70±6.28)s) was prolonged( t=4.65, 7.04, both P<0.05). The intestinal mucosal pathology score of SHAM group ((1.98±0.34)points) was lower than that of the CCH group ((4.52±0.27)points), and the difference was significant( t=18.53, P<0.01). Immunofluorescence experiment showed that, compared with SHAM group (125 028.58±33 077.39), the cumulative optical density of claudin-1 between the intestinal epithelial cells of the CCH group(47 154.50±7 507.29) decreased( t=16.10, P<0.01). Western blot experiment showed that, compared with the SHAM group (0.38±0.11), the expression of OPN in the intestines of the CCH group (1.20±0.95) increased( P<0.05). ELISA experiment showed that, compared with the SHAM group ((3.42±0.66)μg/L), the serum OPN content of the CCH group ((14.92±1.45)μg/L) significantly increased( P<0.05). The degree of cognitive impairment was negatively correlated with intestinal mucosal epithelial claudin-1 expression and serum OPN content( P<0.01). Intestinal mucosal epithelial claudin-1 expression was negatively correlated with serum OPN content ( r=-0.952, P<0.01). Conclusion:CCH may cause obvious cognitive impairment in rats and the destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier.Serum OPN may be a potential serological marker of CCH-induced cognitive impairment and intestinal mucosal barrier destruction in rats.
