AIM: To understand the epidemiology and related factors of strabismic amblyopia of students of primary school, and to provide guidances for the prevention and control strategy.
METHODS: A total of 600 cases of primary school students of Leshan City, Jiajiang County were given vision, oblique incidence and ocular and other screening. The prevalence rate of poor eyesight of strabismus, amblyopia prevalence rate of different sexes, ages were compared, and the degree of amblyopia and strabismus of children with different types of amblyopia and whether or not had stereoscopic vision were counted.
RESULTS: The prevalence rate of amblyopia and strabismus prevalence rate were respectively 4. 0% and 2.5%;With the growth of all age, low vision of students was significantly decreased, the difference of comparison of low vision rate of each age had statistical significance (P<0. 05), but different ages, strabismus prevalence of different sexes, amblyopia prevalence were compared, the difference had no significant differences ( P>0. 05 );Ametropic amblyopia was the main type, accounting for 55. 6%, and the degree of amblyopia mainly was light, moderate; ametropic amblyopia, most of ametropic amblyopia and strabismus had stereo vision, but there were no stereopsis of most of the strabismic amblyopia and all esotropia.
CONCLUSION:Ametropic is mainly type of amblyopia, the prevalence of relationship between the incidence of strabismic amblyopia of primary school students and sexes is not obvious, but the oblique amblyopia treatment effect, such as the establishment of stereoscopic vision and the age, eye position has a close relationship, should be early discovered, early treatment.

Objective To determine the correlation between high serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy), low folate and
vitamin B12 levels and the clinical index of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), providing the reference for the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal patients with HIE. Methods Totally 94 cases of neonatal patients with HIE (32 mild, 40 moderate, and 22 severe) treated by Tianjin children’s hospital from April 2010 to April 2011 were enrolled. The control group was 20 cases of neonatal patients with neonatal swallowing syndrome at the same period. The serum levels of Hcy, folate and vitamin B12 were compared between four groups. Results There were significant differences in serum levels of Hcy, folate and vitamin B12 between four groups (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, there was higher level of Hcy and lower levels of folate and vitamin B12 in HIE groups. The Hcy levels increased with the deterioration of HIE in three HIE groups. The serum level of vitamin B12 was significantly lower in severe group than that in moderate group (P<0.05). Conclusion The serum Hcy level has certain reference value in tassessment of the severity of HIE. The supplementation of folate and vitamin B12 may play an active role in the process of the treatment in neonatal patients with HIE.

Objective To investigate the effect of somatic sense interactive game Kinect on executive dysfunction for patients with stroke. Methods 78 inpatients with first stroke were divided into intervention group and control group, and 35 cases in the intervention group and 36 cases in the control group finished the study. The control group accepted conventional rehabilitation, and the intervention group played the game of Sailing for Gold Coins and Golf of the Kinect in addition. They were assessed with Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) before and 4 weeks after intervention. Results The difference of scores of all the sub-scales and total of BADS before and after intervention were more in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The somatic sense interactive game Kinect can be used to improve the executive function of the patients with stroke.

The study is aimed to investigate the effect of lamivudine on growth and metabolism of three intestinal characteristic bacteria (namely, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae). The growth condition of the three bacteria was quantitatively evaluated by microcalorimetry with four characteristic parameters of the thermal power-time curves, including the growth rate constant (k), thermal power (p), time to peak (t) and calorific value (Q). The results showed that the IC50 value of lamivudine on B. adolescentis was 200 microg x mL(-1), and the IC50 values of lamivudine on S. dysenteriae and E. coli were higher than 3 000 microg x mL(-1) and 6 000 microg x mL(1), respectively. Therefore, lamivudine made different inhibitory effects on the three bacteria, in which the B. adolescentis was most susceptible to lamivudine. This work showed that taking lamivudine chronically is likely to affect the balance of good flora in the intestinal tract, and might increase endotoxin release, leading to inflammation and disease progression in hepatopathy.

Objective To identify the disease-causing gene mutation in families with anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD).Methods Two ASD families coming from Henan and Hebei provinces were enrolled in this study.Ocular examinations were performed,and periphery blood specimens were collected from each family member under the informed consent.The blood samples of 2 patients and 1 normal person in family 1 and 1 patient and 1 normal person in family 2 were analyzed by the whole exome sequences.The candidate genes were verified by Sanger sequence and predicted damages by PolyPhen-2 and SIFT Human Splicing Finder software.Results Family 1 including 9 patients were examined in serial 3 passages,which conformed to autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.Clinical examination revealed binocular anterior segment dysgenesis in the 9 patients.There were 13 SNV and 55 InDel candidate mutations.And missense mutation c.T2A(p.M1K)on PAX6 gene was found.Family 2 included 8 members,and 2 patients were examined.The splicing mutation c.357 + 1g ＞ c on the same gene was found.Conclusion T2A(p.M1 K) and c.357 + 1 g ＞ c mutations in PAX6 gene are responsible for ASD.Whole exome sequence provides a new approach to detect diseasecausing mutation of ASD with diversity clinical phenotypes.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced CT scan with split bolus for the ureleropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO) caused by aberrant vessel of kidney.Methods 52 patients with UPJO underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan with split bolus.The aberrant vessels and its origin as well as the relationship between aberrant vessels and UPJO were observed comparatively with the results of surgery.Results In 52 cases,CT showed UPJO caused by aberrant vessl of kidney in 14 cases,including accessory renal arteries in 10,ovarian artery originated from left renal artery in one,right accessory renal artery in one and gonad veins in 2.CT findings were corresponded to operations in all these 14 cases.The sensitivity and specificity of CT in evaluating UPJO were 100% respectively.Conclusion The UPJO caused by aberrant vessel of kidney can be diagnosed accurately by contrast-enhanced CT scan with split bolus,which can be offered for surgical treatment for UPJO.The patient's CT dose can be decreased with split bolus.

Objective To investigate the etiological and epidemiological characteristics of fungal keratitis in Jilin province of China and to establish a rapid and specific method for molecular identification of the prevalent fungal pathogens.Methods Corneal scrapings were collected from 225 patients with suspected fungal keratitis.Fungal strains were isolated and identified based on their morphology and physiological characteristics.The epidemiological characteristics of all isolated strains causing fungal keratitis were statistically analyzed.Species-specific primers of Fusarium solani (F.solani) were designed and used together with the universal fungal primers to establish a multiplex PCR assay for identification of F.solani in corneal scrapings.Results 156 out of 225 patients (69.3％) were diagnosed as fungal keratitis by fungal culture followed by the examination of morphological and physiological characteristics.A total of 168 pathogenic fungi strains were isolated,most of which were Fasarium spp.(49.4％),followed by Aspergillus spp.(17.9％) and Candida spp.(14.3％).F.solani was the predominant pathogen accounting for 34.5％ in all patients.Most of the patients (87.5％) were farmer and male patients (57.1％) accounted for the majority of 156 patients as well.Corneal trauma (38.5％) was considered as the main predisposing factor.The established multiplex PCR could specifically amplify a 300 bp nucleotide fragment of F.solani.It could be used for a rapid identification of F.solani in corneal scrapings.Conclusion Fusarium genus,particularly the species of F.solani,was the predominant pathogen for fungal keratitis in Jilin province of China.Corneal trauma was the most important predisposing factor.The established multiplex PCR could identify fungal infection from corneal scrapings rapidly and specifically.These findings are very important for the early diagnosis and treatment of fungal keratitis.

Objective: To explore the correlation of plasma level N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with non-diabetic acute myocardial infarction (AMI) combining stress hyperglycemia.
Methods: A total of 327 non-diabetic AMI patients treated in our hospital from 2012-02 to 2014-05 were studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to fasting blood glucose level:Stress group, the patients with blood glucose≥7.0 mmol/L, n=182 and Non-stress group, the patients with blood glucose<7.0 mmol/L, n=145. The basic clinical condition, laboratory tests within 24 hours of onsets, echocardiography and 24 h dynamic electrocardiogram were examined;the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiac shock and sudden cardiac death in 2 weeks of onsets were analyzed and compared between 2 groups.
Results: The patients’ age, gender, history of hypertension, smoking, drinking, and blood levels of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C were similar between 2 groups, P>0.05. Plasma levels of NT-proBNP, CK-MB, MYO, ultra-TnI, ALT, AST and blood glucose level were signiifcantly different between 2 groups P<0.01. NT-proBNP level was positively related to
ultra-TnI (r2=0.811, r=0.901, P<0.01). Stress group presented obviously higher incidence of MACE (P<0.05), lower LVEF (P<0.01), and signiifcantly increased left ventricular end diastolic diameter, left ventricular end systolic diameter (P<0.01) than those in Non-stress group.
Conclusion: Plasma levels of NT-proBNP may judge the severity and evaluate recent prognosis in patients with non-diabetic AMI combining stress hyperglycemia, it could be used as a risk indicator for relevant patients in clinical practice.

Objective To observe the expressions of OPN, COX-2 and CyclinD1 in breast infiltrating carcinoma and evaluate their relationships with clinic pathological features. Methods Expression of the above three indexes were detected from 70 breast cancinoma patients by immunohistochemistry. The relationships among them and clinicopathological features were analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of OPN were 78.8% in cases (≤45 years old) and 73.0% in cases (> 45 years old); the positive expression rates were 79.3%(tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm) and 73.2% (tumor diameter > 3 cm); the positive expression rates were 77.8%, 73.8% and 78.9% in cases ofⅠgrade, Ⅱgrade and Ⅲ respectively, the positive rates had no statistical significances(P > 0.05). The expression rates of OPN in cases of breast infiltrating carcinoma without and with axillary node metastasis were 62.5% and 93.3%, in cases at stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ and Ⅲ ~Ⅳ were, 68.0% and 95.0% respectively, the positive rates had statistical significances(P < 0.05). The expression of OPN was negatively correlated with ER and PR while positively correlated with CerbB2, COX-2 and CyclinD1. Conclusions OPN plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma coordinated with COX-2 and CyclinD1.

Objective: To observe the effects of glycyrrhizin on laminin (LN) expression in kidney tissue and excretory quantity of urine protein of rats with adriamycin nephropathy, and to explore the protective effects of glycyrrhizin on glomerulosclerosis. METHODS: Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal control group (n=6), untreated group (n=6) and glycyrrhizin-treated group (n=6). Adriamycin nephropathy was induced in rats in the last two groups by intravenous injection of adriamycin. The rats in the glycyrrhizin-treated group were fed glycyrrhizin for eight weeks, whereas the rats in the normal control group and untreated group were fed normal saline solution for eight weeks too. The levels of 24 h urine protein (Upr), serum creatinine (sCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum cholesterol (Ch) of rats in each group were examined before treatment and after the treatment for four and eight weeks. The renal morphological changes were observed under a microscope. The expression level of LN in renal tissue was detected by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase complex (SABC) method. RESULTS: The levels of 24 h Upr after the treatment for four and eight weeks in the glycyrrhizin-treated group were both significantly decreased as compared with those in the untreated group. The pathological morphological changes of renal tissue in the glycyrrhizin-treated group were remarkably alleviated, and the expression level of LN in renal tissue was also decreased in the glycyrrhizin-treated group as compared with those in the untreated group. CONCLUSION: The glycyrrhizin exerts certain protective effects on adriamycin nephropathy in rats by reducing excretory quantity of urine protein, decreasing expression level of LN in renal tissue, improving renal function and lessening the severity degree of glomerulosclerosis so as to retard the development of glomerulosclerosis.
