Glaucoma is the first leading cause of irreversible blindness and the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that elevated intraocular pressure ( IOP ) is one of the major risk factors for the development and progression of glaucomatous optic nerve damage. However, there have been 50% of primary open-angle glaucoma ( POAG ) patients with typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy in whom the IOP measurements have always been in the normal range, and some patients develop typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy with the well controlled IOP. These phenomena cannot be explained by the theory of high intraocular pressure. The pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic nerve damage in these patients with normal IOP needs to be further discussed. Numerous studies at home and abroad have shown that: 1. the surrounding anatomy of the optic nerve including the IOP, the anatomy and biomechanics of the lamina cribrosa and retrobulbar orbital cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be of importance for the pathogenesis of the POAG;2. patients with normal tension glaucoma had significantly lower cerebrospinal fluid pressure and a higher trans - lamina cribrosa pressure difference compared with normal subjects; 3. patients with ocular hypertension had significantly higher cerebrospinal fluid pressure, however, there is no difference in trans -lamina cribrosa pressure compared with normal subjects. Based on the above research, now we make a review about the research advance of the relation between intracranial pressure and glaucoma optic nerve damage and the available measurements about noninvasive intracranial pressure in clinical in this paper.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of lymph nodes metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and to discuss surgical approach.Methods All patients underwent total thyroidectomy,central lymph nodes and lateral lymph nodes dissection in Department of Thyroid Surgery,the First Hospital of the Jilin University,from Dec.2011 to Dec.2012.Results With the increase of the number of positive central lymph nodes,lateral cervical lymph node metastasis rate increased as well and accompanied multi region metastasis trend.In 102 cases of lateral positive cervical lymph node patients,55 cases were in level Ⅱ,accounting for 53.92％,62 cases were in level Ⅲ,accounting for 60.78％,76 cases were in level Ⅳ,accounting for 74.51％,and 17 cases were in level V,accounting for 16.67％.In lateral lymph nodes metastasis,we found level Ⅳ was the most vulnerable area,followed by level Ⅲ,level Ⅱ and level Ⅴ.Conclusions Prophylactic central lymph node dissection should be performed in PTC patients.Patients with central lymph node metastasis especially with the number of positive lymph nodes ＞ 3 should be performed ipsilateral level Ⅱ-Ⅴ lymph node dissection.

Abstract?AlM:To investigate the choice of different treatments for malignant glaucoma.? METHODS: ln this retrospective case series, 21 malignant glaucoma patients ( 21 eyes ) admitted in Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command from May 2012 to May 2013 were analyzed. Sixteen eyes ( 76%) developed malignant glaucoma after filtration surgery, 3 eyes ( 14%) after EX - PRESS glaucoma filtration device, 2 eyes ( 10%) after glaucoma filtration Ahmed valve implantation. Main Outcome of corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , anterior chamber depth and complications were detected.?RESULTS: lOP recovered by drug control in 13 eyes, anterior chamber depth. Four eyes were treated by vitreous water- bag aspiration combined with anterior chambers reconstructing. Two eyes were treated by cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Two eyes were treated by posterior capsule excision combined with anterior vitrectomy. lOP before and after treatment was 29. 81±4. 98, 12. 71±3. 77mmHg, respectively (P=0. 00). Anterior chamber depth before and after treatment was 0.41± 0. 34, 2. 13 ± 0. 54mm, respectively (P = 0. 00). Corrected visual acuity before treatment was 0. 19 ± 0. 17, after treatment was 0. 20±0. 16 (P= 0. 36). Except for vitreous hemorrhage in 1 eye, there were no ocular or systemic adverse events observed in all patients.? CONCLUSlON: lt is good to diagnose malignant glaucoma in early period, and treated it step by step. For this can reduce lOP and restore anterior chamber.

Objective To investigate the rule of the cerebral tissues aquaporin-4(AQP-4) expression in acute and chronic hepatic failure mice.To study the molecular biologic mechanism of the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).Methods Sixty five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,including acute(n=25),chronic hepatic failure(n=25)and control group(n=15). Thioacetamide(TAA)intraperitoneal injection produces the acute and chronic hepatic failure models.All rats in groups were examined with MR DWI.We Observed the distribution of abnormal signal on DWI.The DWI single values of top and lateral cortex of parietal lobe,peripheral region of lateral ventricle in the highest hyperintensity section of brain were measured.Blood ammonia values were examined.The pathologic and immuno-histochemistry and RT-PCR examination for brain specimen were performed.All date were analyzed with statistical methods.Results The mean values of blood ammonia were significantly different (P0.05).Conclusions Increase of the blood ammonia was the main cause for the brain energy metabolic abnormality and AQP-4 mRNA and protein expression.The hyperammonemia was the key factor in the occurrence and development of the hepatic brain edema.The abnormal findings in DWI signal could reflect the range and degree of the brain edema and AQP-4 protein expression.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage, and explore effective and practical nursing strategies.Methods:Clinical data of 62 patients with post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage from Jan 2014 to Dec 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The bleeding time, location, vital signs, accompanying symptoms and surgical treatment measures and clinical outcomes were analyzed.Results:Among the 62 cases, early (within 24 h) hemorrhage occurred in 19/62 patients (30.6%), and late hemorrhage occurred in 43/62 patients (69.4%). 36/62 patients (58.1%) had arterial bleeding; And 43/62 patients (69.4%) had abdominal hemorrhage. Grade C hemorrhage occurred in 32/62 patients (51.6%). Sentinel hemorrhage occurred in 8/62 patients (12.9%). The manifestation of hemorrhage in 42 patients was bloody fluid from abdominal drainage tube (67.7%). Hemorrhage occurred in 23 patients with pancreatic fistula(37.1%), 12 patients with abdominal infection and other complications (19.4%). Shock symptoms occurred in 41 cases (66.1%) with postoperative hemorrhage. Pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage were early detected in 0.3 h and last detected in 869 h, with a median time of 192.00 (14.63, 297.00) h. 30/62 cases (48.4%) of hemorrhage patients occurred 1 hour before and after nursing shift. When hemorrhage was found, emergency treatments such as blood transfusion to maintain blood volume ( n=47, 75.8%), hemostasis ( n=35, 56.5%) and vasoactive drugs to increase blood pressure ( n=32, 51.6%) were usually given immediately. 31/62 patients (50.0%) underwent emergency secondary surgery within 4 h of hemorrhage, and 45/62 patients (72.6%) were cured by emergency surgical treatment. A written treatment pre-plan for surgical nurses was established. Conclusions:Surgical nurses should be familiar with the clinical manifestations of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage, and improve the alarming ability of identifying the complications of post-operative hemorrhage. The establishment of an emergency pre-plan for surgical nurses could help to treat such patients timely and effectively.

OBJECTIVE: To develop criteria to assess injuries due to diethyl sulfate poisoning. METHODS: Patients were evaluated with respect to their toxic status and outcomes, in comparison to typical cases. RESULTS: Among 44 poisoned patients, 4 patients were classified as major injuries, 4 person as minor injuries, and the rest of 36 patients were classified as not poisoned according to poisoning diagnostic criteria by No.GBZ40-2002 "Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Acute Diethyl Sulfate Poisoning". CONCLUSION In assessment of the injuries caused by diethyl sulfate poisoning, one should follow diagnostic criteria set by National Occupational Acute Poisoning due to Chemicals and Drugs and "Criteria for Assessment of Human Body Injury."
