2.Phacoemulsification combined with pars plana vitrectomy for eyes with cataract and proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Ophthalmology in China 1993;0(03):-
Objective To evaluate the clinical results of phacoemulsification combined with pars plana vitrectomy for eyes with cataract and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Design Non-controlled retrospective case series study. Participants 123 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and cataract. Methods Phacoemulsification,posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy were done in 123 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and cataract. Postoperative vision,number of secondary procedures and surgical complications were analyzed. Main Outcome Measures Postoperative visual improvement and associated complications. Results All 123 eyes underwent combined surgery. The average follow-up was 10 months. 99 eyes (81%) experienced postoperative vision improvement of varying degrees. Vision improved by 2 lines or more in 93 eyes (76%). No apparent corneal edema or corneal decompensation were encountered. One patient with type 1 diabetes developed neovascular glaucoma 6 months after surgery. Retinal detachment occurred in 1 eye and reoperated. Vitreous hemorrhage requiring secondary procedure happened in 4 eyes. All 24 eyes (19%) without vision improvement were found to be with diabetic maculopathy. Conclusions Phacoemulsification combined with pars plana vitrectomy can be used as an effective surgical tool to improve visions in patients with PDR and cataract. Diabetic maculopathy is the major cause of poor visual improvement. (Ophthalmol CHN ,2006,15: 198-201)

9. Role of MSH2 and RUNX3 gene methylation in DNA prepared from nasopharyngeal swabs in early diagnosis and outcome prediction of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2012;37(9):1-5
Objective To explore the role of methylation of Human MutS homolog 2 (MSH2) and Human runt-related transcription factor 3 genes (RUNX3) in DNA prepared from nasopharyngeal swabs in early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods The methylation-specific PCR was used to detect hypermethylation of MSH2 and RUNX3 genes in DNA prepared from nasopharyngeal swabs from 54 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, 18 chronic nasopharyngitis patients and 20 healthy volunteers. The specificity and sensitivity in early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by detecting MSH2 and/or RUNX3 gene methylation were evaluated. The relationship between methylation of MSH2 or RUNX3 gene and the biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinoma was analyzed. Results Hypermethylation of MSH2 and RUNX3 gene was respectively detected in 38 out of 54 (70.37%) and in 28 out of 54 (51.85%) nasopharyngeal swabs obtained from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, while there was no methylation in nasopharyngeal swabs from 18 chronic nasopharyngitis patients and 20 healthy volunteers. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). The specificity and sensitivity in early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were respectively 100% and 70.37% by detecting MSH2 gene methylation, 100% and 51.85% respectively by detecting RUNX3 gene methylation in nasopharyngeal swabs from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients determined by methylation-specific PCR, while parallel combined detection of MSH2 and RUNX3 gene methylation increased the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity up to 100% and 90.74%, respectively. No close correlation was found between methylation of MSH2 or RUNX3 gene and the biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Parallel combined testing of MSH2 and RUNX3 gene methylation in DNA prepared from nasopharyngeal swabs determined by methylation-specific PCR could increase the specificity and sensitivity in early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and is of important clinical significance. However it may not serve as an index in evaluating the clinical prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma at present.
