To observe the clinical efficacy of diclofenac sodium eye drops for postoperative recurrence of pterygium, and to provide safer drug regimens to prevent the recurrence of pterygium.
● METHODS: From November 2011 to September 2013, 124 patients 134 eyes who underwent surgery because of pterygium in our hospital were randomly divided into trial group ( diclofenac sodium eye drops and sodium hyaluronate eye drops) and control group ( tobramycin dexamethasone eye drops and sodium hyaluronate eye drops), all patients were followed up for 3mo ( once a week ) and the cornea, intraocular pressure and recurrence of pterygium were observed and compared between the two groups.
●RESULTS: Followed up for 3mo, 43 cases (45 eyes) in the trial group and 38 cases (39 eyes) in the control group had done the follow up as planned, in which 14 cases (15 eyes) showed the signs of recurrence, 2 cases (3 eyes) recurred eventually in the trial group, and in the meantime there were 12 cases (13 eyes) with signs of recurrence and 2 cases ( 2 eyes ) with a recurrence eventually in the control group, but no statistical difference was found between the two groups (P>0. 05);there were 6 cases (9 eyes) dropped out of the study with a higher intraocular pressure in the control group, compared to trial group (0 cases of 0 eye), the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0. 05); cornea conditions between the two groups had no statistical significance (P>0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON:Diclofenac sodium eye drops is effective and safe in preventing the recurrence of pterygium.

Objective It has been shown that ketamine can effectively suppress expression of cell adhesion molecules in vitro. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ketamine on plasma adhesion molecules in vivo during cardiac valve replacement.Methods Twenty ASA Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients (7 males, 13 females) aged 23-65 yrs, weighing 31-77 kg undergoing cardiac valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups of 10 patients each : ketamine group received ketamine 2 mg?kg-1 i.v. before induction of anesthesia and at the start of CPB and control group received normal saline instead of ketamine. Blood samples were taken from radial artery for determination of plasma P-selectin, L-selectin, ICAM-1, IL-6 and cTnI concentrations before induction of anesthesia (T0 ,baseline) , 20 min after initiation of CPB (T1) , 30 min after aortic declamping (T2) 4 h and 24 h after CPB (T3, T4) . Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, weight, operation time, CPB time and aortic cross-clamping time. The concentrations of P-selectin, L-selectin, ICAM-1 and IL-6 at T1-4 and cTnI at T2-4 increased significantly compared to baseline (T0) in both groups ( P

2 cm) who were treated with endoscopic polypectomy in 2 different means,respectively.Methods The clinic data of 68 children with giant colonic polyps were review analyzed.Thirty-five cases were received endoscopic clips ligation and the other 33 cases were received endoscopic snare resection.Results All the 35 cases out of endoscopic clip ligtion group were sucessfully cured.There were only 3 cases showedl a little bleeding in this group.In the endoscopic snare resection group,there were 10 cases showed bleeding,8 cases showed polypectomy syndrome,1 case transferred into(operation).Conclusions The complication incidence in endoscopic clips ligation group is lower than that in endoscopic snare resection group.The endoscopic clipping brings about an effective and safe way to treat giant colonic polyps in children.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of DNA methyltransferases(DNMT)and clinical prognosis in children with acute leukemia(AL).Methods The mRNA expressions of DNMT1,DNMT3A,DNMT3B,p15,mdrl were measured in 56 AL children and 20 normal controls by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerse chain reaction.Results In 56 cases of children with AL,the positive rate of DNMT1 was 73.2%(41/56);the positive rate of DNMT3A was 67.9%(38 /56);the positive rate of DNMT3B was 64.3%(36/56).Thirty-one cases showed positive expressions of the 3 DNMT simultaneously,4 cases with negative expressionss imultaneously,21 cases with at least 1 positive expression of the DNMT,positive rate of p15 was 19.6%(11/56);positive rate of mdrl was 28.6%(16/56),all 3 simultaneous expressions of the 3 DNMT in AL children were significantly higher than those in normal controls(P

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a relatively common macular disease that forms along the surface of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina to some reason.The pathogenesis is not clear.Microincision vitrectomy surgery has been confirmed as a minimally invasive and very safe modality of treatment.Deciding when to perform a vitrectomy can be difficult.There are many factors which can affect the postoperative visual acuity,such as age,the thickness of macular,integrity of photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction.

Objective To investigate the personality traits, anxiety and depression in patients with leukemia. Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed in 120 patients with leukemia and 118 age and gender-matched controls. Personality was assessed using the Type A Behavior Pattern Questionnaire (TABPQ). Emotion was ascertained using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). The relationship between personality type A and anxiety and depression was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The prevalence of personality type A was significantly higher in patients with leukemia than healthy controls [71.67 % (86/120) vs. 30.51 % (36/118), P< 0.01]. Patients with leukemia also had higher prevalence of anxiety and depression compared with healthy controls [36.67%(44/120) vs. 9.32%(11/118), P< 0.01; 29.17 % (35/120) vs. 5.93 % (7/118), P< 0.01]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that time-hurry (TH) and competition-hostility (CH) of personality type A correlated positively with anxiety (r=0.292, r= 0.277, respectively; both P< 0.05). Conclusion TH and CH of personality type A are associated with anxiety in leukemia patients.

Objective:To observe the the effects of sustained-release coatings of HU-308 on the biological characteristics of rat oste-oblasts(ROBs)on Ti surface.Methods:The heparin/chitosan sustained release coatings containing HU-308 at different concentra-tions were prepared by layer-by-layer assembly technology on the alkali-and heat-treated Ti surface.The alkali-and heat-treated Ti samples were randomly divided into six groups,the samples in C group were used as control,in P group were treated by heparin/chi-tosan coatings and in T1,T2,T3 and T4 groups were treated by heparin/chitosan sustained-release coating containing HU-308 at dif-ferent concentrations.The adhesion,proliferation and ALP activity of ROBs cultured on the coatings were assessed at different times. Results:The adhesion,proliferation and ALP activity of ROBs of T4 group (the impregnating concentration of HU-308 was 0.025 mg/L)were the highest.Conclusion:The sustained-release coating with low concentration of HU-308 may improve the adhesion , proliferation and ALP activity of ROBs.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of simvastatin on cobalt choride ( CoCl2 ) -induced hypoxia and reoxygenation injury on alveolar type Ⅱ cells and the underlying mechanisms.Methods CoCl2 was used to establish the hypoxia and reoxygenation injury model on AT Ⅱ cells.Blank,control and variant doses simvastatin-treated groups ( 5,10,20,30,50,100 μ mol/L) were designed in the present study.The proliferation of AT Ⅱ cells was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 ( CCK-8 ) assay.The percentage of apoptotic cells was assessed by flow cytometry AV/PI double-staining.The protein levels of surfactant protein-C (SP-C) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in AT Ⅱ cells was determined by Western blot.Results As compared with the control group,pretreatment with low dose (5 - 20 μmol/L),but not high dose simvastatin (50 - 100 μmol/L) markedly reduced A549 cells apoptosis,and increased their proliferation and the protein levels of SPC and PCNAin vitro.The protective effect could be reversed in vitro by L-mevalonate,a simvastatin competitive inhibitor,which indicated that the inhibition of mevalorate pathway was involved in the simvastatin induced AT Ⅱ cells function restoration.Condusion Low doses simvastatin reversed CoCl2-induced hypoxia and reoxygenation injury of AT Ⅱ cells.The inhibition of mevalonate pathway contributed to simvastatin induced AT Ⅱ cells function restoration.
