Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) encompasses many different hereditary retinal degenerations that are caused by a vast array of different gene mutations and have highly variable disease presentations and severities.Work over the past 25 years has resulted in the identification of genes responsible for about 50％ of the RP cases,and it's predicted that most of the remaining disease-causing genes will be identified by the year 2020 or most likelysooner.This marked acceleration is the result of dramatic improvements in DNA-sequencing technologies and the associated analysis.The advent of two recent innovations, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated nuclease-9 (Cas-9) mediated genome editing,are changing the landscape of RP research, with causative genes being identified at an accelerated rate withgreat potential to translate these discoveries into personalized therapeutic strategies.

12 months in 31.3% (15/48). The graft lesions were found in 72.9% (35/48) of the patients, the worsened native lesions in 8.3% (4/48) and incomplete revascularization in 12.5% (6/48). Total occlusion was found in 33.3% (45/135) of the grafts and stenosis in 5.9% (8/135). LIMA total occlusion was 46.4% (13/28), stenosis was 8.6% (3/35) and competitive flow was 8.6% (3/35). Stenosis was found in 5.2% (5/97) of the SVG and total occlusion in 35.1% (34/97). Two of the five radial arteries were stenotic. Except for the chronic total occlusions, PCI treated the above problems with a high success rate. Conclusion Reoccurrence of angina is not uncommon after CABG. The causes are mainly due to the graft problem, and secondly due to worsened native lesion and incomplete revascularization. PCI can be used to treat the above problems except for the chronic total occlusions of the native vessels and graft.

Objective To evaluate the angiographic effectiveness of stenting for non-protected left main coronary leisions. Methods The follow-up angiograms of 18 patients who had received stent implantation for non-protected left main disease during 1997-2004 were assessed. Results (1) There were totally 9 patients implanted with two stents in distal left main bifurcation lesion. Among the 6 patients who had implanted two drug eluting stents using V technique, 4 of them had ostial restenosis of the branches and had TLR. Another 2 patients with bare metal stents implanted using T-stest technique also experienced restenosis and had TLR. (2) In the 9 patients with single stent implanted, 5 patients implanted the stents crossing-over the LCX and only 1 of them had restenosis. Among the 3 patients who had received left main body stenting, one patient had diffuse restenosis and performed TLR. Conclusion (1) Implantation of 2 stents in distal left main lesion showed a high restenosis rate. On the other hand, crossing over the LCX can be applied safely in left main bifurcation lesions and show a better prognosis.

Objective To analyze the effect on side branch with diameter ≥2.0 mm after stenting with cross-over technique in non-left main coronary bifurcation by using IVUS and QCA.Methods Comparative analysis was made on the IVUS and QCA results of the side branches in 35 non-left main bifurcation lesions which were intervened by cross-over technique.Results The diameter and area stenosis rates of the side branches examined by IVUS compared with QCA before intervention were 18.67%?16.29% vs 29.06%?23.16% and 31.17%?25.54% vs 42.22%?31.81% respectively.After cross-over interventional therapy,acute occlusion of the side branches detected by both IVUS and QCA was 2.86%.The rates of aggravated stenosis and newly developed stenosis in the side branches shown by IVUS and QCA were 14.29% vs 48.57%(P=0.012) and 11.43% vs 14.29%(P=0.294).Post-intervention morphology of the side branches detected by IVUS included plaque shift,vessel wall shrink,spasm and deformation.By using logistic analyzing,existence of soft plaque in the main branches was an independant factor affecting the fate of the side branches.Conclusion Comparing with IVUS results,QCA may over-estimate the degree of stenosis of the side branches after cross-over technique.The possible mechanism of side branch complications shown by IVUS included plaque shift,vessel wall shrink,spasm and deformation.Soft plaque in the main branch is an independant influencing factor of the result in the side branches.
