Abstract? AIM: To evaluate the efficiency of two different operation ways, vitrectomy and vitrectomy combined with inferior scleral buckling, for a complex kind of retinal detachment.?METHODS:The complex kind of retinal detachment were diagnosed in 100 cases ( 100 eyes ) , with the common features:1)the course of more than 1mo;2) at least one retinal hole located in the inferior marginal retina;3) the detachment of retina was found proliferated, there was at least 1 retinal fold in retinal detachment area. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group ( 50 eyes ) who received vitrectomy combined with inferior scleral buckling;the control group ( 50 eyes ) who received vitrectomy without scleral buckling. The retinal anatomic reattachment, visual function recovery, macular central fovea thickness and complications in two groups were observed.? RESULTS: There were 49 eyes ( 98%) with retinal anatomic reattachment in the treatment group while 42 eyes(84%)in control group(χ2=4.2605, P<0.05);the best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) was 0.254 ±0.238 in the treatment group while it was 0.219±0.229 in control group (t=1.8879,P>0.05);the macular central fovea thickness was 272 ±32.21μm in the treat group while it was 316 ± 33.46μm(t=12.597,P<0.01).Intraocular pressure in 12 eyes ( 24%) was more than 30mmHg in the treatment group while 4 eyes ( 8%) in control group within 1wk postoperation (χ2=4.7619,P<0.05); intraocular pressure in 100 eyes were controlled below 21mmHg 1mo postoperatively.? CONCLUSION: It is a more effective method to vitrectomy combined with inferior scleral buckling than the single vitrectomy for the special kind of retinal detachment.It can increase the rate of retinal anatomic reattachment and reduce macular edema.

AIM:To evaluate the optic nerve and axon impairment of relapsing - remitting multiple sclerosis ( RRMS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ( NMOSD ) via detecting the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and the ganglion cell complex( GCC) thickness by optic coherence tomography(OCT).
METHODS: Retrospective case control study. Two hundred three cases were collected from August 2014 to January 2016 in Beijing Tian Tan Hospital. They were divided into four groups, including the normal group (n=60), the RRMS group ( n = 60 ), the NMOSD anti -aquaporin- 4 autoantibody seropositive( NMOSD- AQP4 -Ab seropositive) group (n= 48), and the NMOSD-AQP4-Abseronegative group (n = 35). All people were detected for the average and four quadrants ( superior, inferior, nasal, temporal) of pRNFL thickness and the average and two quadrants (superior, inferior) of GCC thickness with OCT. One way analysis of variance or nonparametric tests was used to compare the differences of pRNFL and GCC thickness between groups.
RESULTS: Comparing with the normal group, the average and all quadrants of pRNFL and GCC thickness in the RRMS, the NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seropositive and the NMOSD-AQP4-Ab seronegative group were thinner (P<0. 01). Among them, the pRNFL and GCC thickness in the NMOSD- AQP4 - Ab seropositive group was the thinnest. Differences between groups in the pRNFL thickness:compared with the RRMS group, all quadrants of pRNFL and GCC thickness in the NMOSD-AQP4-Ab seropositive group were significantly thinner(P<0. 01); compared with the NMOSD- AQP4- Ab seronegative group, the inferior, nasal and temporal pRNFL thickness in the NMOSD-AQP4-Ab seropositive group were significantly thinner(P<0. 05), while the superior quadrant did not show significant differences( P > 0. 05); compared with the RRMS group, the superior pRNFL thickness in the NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seronegative group was significantly thinner ( P < 0. 05), while the inferior, nasal and temporal quadrants did not show significant differences ( P > 0. 05 ). Differences between groups in the GCC thickness: compared with both the RRMS and the NMOSD- AQP4- Ab seronegative group, all quadrants of GCC thickness in the NMOSD -AQP4-Ab seropositive group were significantly thinner (P<0. 05); compared with the RRMS group, the superior GCC thickness in the NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seronegative group was significantly thinner(P<0. 01), while the inferior quadrant did not show significant difference(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: The optic nerve and axon impairment in NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seropositive group was the most severe and the impairment in RRMS group was the least severe. The impairment in NMOSD - AQP4 - Ab seronegative group was between the former two, and could be more similar to that of RMMS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) for coronary artery disease (CAD).

METHODSCoronary angiography (CAG), MPI and MSCT were performed in 43 patients (36 with suspected, 7 with known CAD). MPI examinations were evaluated semiquantitatively by agreement of two experienced observers. SDS (summed difference score) > 1 was defined as reversible ischemia, and each myocardial segment was allocated to the territory of one of the coronary arteries. The MSCT results were defined as positive when stenoses (> or = 50%) were found in one main vessel or its main branch vessel. CAG results served as "gold standard". The diagnostic values of MPI and MSCT for CAD were compared respectively on patient basis and on vessel basis.

RESULTSOn patient basis, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MPI for diagnosing CAD were 79.17%, 84.21% and 81.40% which were similar as those of MSCT: 83.33%, 89.47% and 86.05% (all P > 0.05). On vessel basis, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MPI were 53.19%, 89.02% and 75.97% which were also similar to those of MSCT: 70.21%, 95.12% and 86.05% (all P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe non-invasive MPI and MSCT provide satisfactory and similar diagnostic information on diagnosing CAD.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical characteristics and treatment method of pneumonoconiosis with spontaneous pneumothorax.

METHODSThe clinical data of 55 cases with spontaneous pneumothorax were analyzed.

RESULTSAmong these 55 cases, there were 19 cases with left side pneumothorax, 25 cases with right side pneumothorax and 11 cases with bilateral pneumothorax. The lungs of 17 cases were compressed to less than 20%, the lungs of 29 cases were compressed to 20% ∼ 50% and the lungs of 9 cases were compressed to more than 50%, 17 cases were treated conservatively, 7 cases were treated by thoracentesis, and 32 cases were treated by closed thoracic drainage, including 10 cases intrapleural injected with thrombin and PAMBA. After the treatment, 41 cases were cured, 10 cases were improved, 3 cases were transferred to other hospital for plugging or pleurodesis and 1 case died of the respiratory failure.

CONCLUSIONThe clinical symptoms of cases with pneumonoconiosis and spontaneous pneumothorax are atypical. These cases easily recur. After treatment, the healing of these cases is better.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of Solitaire AB double stents in acute occlusions in bifurcation of cerebral artery (including the ends of internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery M1 segment).Methods The clinical and imaging data of six cases treated with the double stent retriever technique using the Solitaire AB system in Wuhan No.1 Hospital from January to November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.And the therapeutic effect and postoperative complications of them were analyzed.Results One patient took the double stents directly,whereas five patients were treated with double stent-retriever thrombectomy after the failure of single stent thrombectomy.All of the six patients achieved recanalization successfully (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) 3 in five patients,mTICI 2b in one).All patients had no intracranial hemorrhage immediately after thrombectomy.In the 24 hours,7 days and 2 weeks,the median NIHSS score was 10 (3-17),3 (1-15) and 1 (0-15),respectively.During perioperative period,one patient had asymptomatic cerebral hemorrhage,one died of symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage within 48 hours,and one was complicated with pulmonary infection.Five patients were followed up by outpatient visit,and four patients showed good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≤2).Conclusion In the emergency revascularization of acute cerebral artery occlusion at arterial bifurcation,double stent-retriever is better at increasing the efficacy of thrombectomy and is safe compared with single stent mechanical thrombectomy.

0.05),while hyperlactacidemia existed in 21 patients(4.62%).LA levels increased with the creatinine levels,especially in those with Cr more than 90 ?mol/L.However,LA levels increased with the reduction of GFR,especially in those with GFR less than 80 mL/min.It was revealed by correlation analysis that LA level was positively correlated with Cr,ALT and BMI.The optimal cutoff of Cr inducing the lactic acidemia was 95.35 ?mol/L.Conclusion The baseline LA levels of patients with T2DM are similar to those of healthy adults,and LA levels are mainly influenced by BMI and renal and hepatic function.Hyperlactacidemia may be induced when Cr reaches a level more than 95 ?mol/L.

Twenty five new beta-aminoalcohols containing nabumetone moiety were prepared via the reduction of potassium borohydride with a convenient and efficient procedure, starting from beta-aminoketones that have been synthesized by our group. Their chemical structures were determined by IR, MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HR-MS and antidiabetic activities were screened in vitro. Preliminary results revealed that the antidiabetic activity of most beta-aminoalcohols were better than that of the corresponding beta-aminoketones. Although most compounds showed weak antidiabetic activity, the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of compounds 5hd(1) and 5id(2) reached 74.37% and 90.15%, respectively, which were superior to the positive control. The relative peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor response element (PPRE) activity of five compounds were more than 60%, among them compound 5ca possessed the highest activity (112.59%). As lead molecules of antidiabetic agents, compounds 5hd(1), 5id(2) and 5ca deserve further study.

Objective To investigate the effects of different extracts of pericarpium citri reticulatae (PCR) and pogostemon cablin benth (PCB) on the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle and the level of gastrointestinal hormones in rat model of gastrointestinal motility disorder. Methods Seventy Wistar rats were randomly divided into groups of control, model, water extractive of PCR, hesperidin, water extractive of PCB, water extractive of PCB plus volatile oil and patchouli alcohol, ten rats in each group. Except the control group, the rest groups were established gastrointestinal motor disorder model via limb ischemia-reperfusion (LIR). After modeling rats of groups were intervened with corresponding extracts. The effects of different extracts on contraction amplitude of corpora ventriculi and small intestine smooth muscle were observed. The levels of gastrointestinal hormones including motilin (MOT), gastrin (GAS), cholecystokinin (CCK) and somatostatin (SS) were detected by radioimmunoassay. Results The contraction amplitudes of corpora ventriculi and small intestine smooth muscle were decreased (P<0.05), the serum level of GAS and plasma level of MOT were also significantly decreased, while CCK and SS levels in the gastric antrum were significantly increased in model group than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Water extractive of PCR, hesperidin, water extractive of PCB and water extractive of PCB +patchouli oil can increase the contraction amplitudes of corpora ventriculi and small intestine smooth muscle, increase the serum level of GAS and reduce levels of CCK and SS in the gastric antrum (P<0.05), whereas showed no influence in the plasma level of MOT (P>0.05)]. Compared with model group, patchouli alcohol showed no influence in the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle and levels of MOT, GAS, CCK and SS (P>0.05). In the aspect of regulating the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle and the level of GAS, CCK and SS, the pharmacological effect of PCR water extract was better than that of hesperidin (P<0.05), while water extractive of PCB+volatile oil was better than that of water extractive of PCB (P < 0.05). Conclusion The active ingredients of PCR and PCB have variant regulative effects on the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle and the serum level of GAS, CCK and SS in the gastric antrum in rat model of gastrointestinal motility disorder.
