Age-related macular degeneration( AMD) is one of the major reasons of blindness among the elderly in the developed countries. As AMD patients are increasing year by year, AMD has become one of the important topics of ophthalmic research to prevent blindness. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood, but many studies have shown that vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) plays an important role in the pathogenesis. With the development and application of anti - VEGF drugs, there are a variety of drugs applied to the disease. This article introduces conbercept for the treatment of AMD.

AIM: To study the curative effect of Xuezhikang Capsule on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease accompanied by hyperlipidemia. METHODS: Small dosage of Xuezhikang Capsules had been administrated to the patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease accompanied by hyperlipidemia for 6 months. 32 healthy people had been chosen as control group at the same time. At the time points of before and after curing, body weight index. Type B ultrasonic, liver function, serum lipids, serum glucose and insulin levels had been tested. The McAuley index and the insulin resistance index of the homeostasis model assessment had been taken to evaluate insulin resistance. Liver biopsy had been conducted in some of the patients to compare the tissue changes before and after curing. RESULTS: After being treated with Xuezhikang Capsule, levels of insulin resistance serum lipids and ALT/AST in the patients with non-alcoliolic fatty liver disease had gone downward markedly. The histological observation in some of the patients had improved. No toxicity had been found. CONCLUSION: It is safe and potent to take the small dosage of Xuezhikang Capsule to cure the patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease accompanied by hyperlipidemia.

BACKGROUND:Central pancreatectomy is a surgical treatment for tumors at the neck or the middle part of the pancreas, which can reserve more normal pancreas, not cut adjacent organs, and reduce the incidence of postoperative internal and external pancreatic secretion deficiency with respect to the expanded proximal and distal pancreatectomy. OBJECTIVE: To systematicaly evaluate the clinical efficacy of the central pancreatectomy and distal pancreatectomy. METHODS: A computer-based search of Chinese and English databases was performed, and then 15 controled clinical trials were included and systematicaly evaluated using RevMa5.2 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 1 079 cases were included in this study, which consisted of 436 central pancreatectomy cases and 643 distal pancreatectomy cases. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the distal pancreatectomy group, the incidences of postoperative pancreatic fistula and complications were significantly higher, the risk of postoperative endocrine and exocrine insufficiency were significantly lower, while the surgical time (SMD: 59.23, 95%CI: 22.41-96.05, P < 0.01) and hospital stays (SMD: 7.01, 95%CI: 1.94-12.09,P< 0.01) were longer in the central pancreatectomy group. These findings indicate that although the central pancreatectomy has a high postoperative complication incidence, it can be accepted clinicaly, which may be a reasonable operation method to preserve pancreatic exocrine and endocrine function.

Objective To study the early diagnostic indices of melioidosis by analyzing 49 cases. Methods Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of 49 cases of melioidosis and 98 cases of bacterial pneumonia who were admitted in our hospital and Peoples' Hospital of Hainan Province from December 1996 to December 2007. Their social characteristic,background diseases,clinical manifestations,laboratory findings,radiologic examination and complications were studied. Results Background disease (such as diabetes),hepatosplenomegaly,septic shock,sepsis et al were the main causes of melioidosis. Conclusion Chills,fever,hepatosplenomegaly,diabetes mellitus,septic shock and sepsis are all factors that should be considered with melioidosis.

Objective To investigate the status and influential factors of mental health of Pakistani and Bangladeshi peacekeeping forces in Liberia.Methods By random sampling,300peacekeeping officers and soldiers dispatched from Pakistan and Bangladesh(150 each)in Liberia were investigated with Chinese Military Mental Health Scale(CMMHS),Military Mental Maladjustment Scale(MMMS) and Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS),and they were carried out for two times on the 7th day and the 120th day after arrival in peacekeeping mission area.Results The total score and each factor score of CMMHS(except for obsessive-compulsive,anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity)and the total score of MMMS of the peacekeepers at the 7th day after their arrival in mission area were significantly higher than those at the 120th day(P

Objecive To evaluate and compare the efficacy of injecting tissue glue and lauromacrogol in modified sandwich method combined with synchronous ligation for patients with esophageal and gastric variceal.Methods 42 cases of patients with esophageal and gastric variceal were randomly divided into synchronous treatment group (22 cases) and sequential treatment group (20 cases). Both group received modiifed sandwich method for gastric varices (lauromacrogol-tissue adhesive-lauromacrogol). Synchronous treatment group meanwhile received synchronization ligation for esophageal varices, but sequential treatment group received sequential ligation after one week. The hemostasis rate, effective rate of varices, rebleeding and complications rate were analyzed.Results There were no signiifcant difference in hemostasis rate, effective rate and rebleeding rate between two groups. The incidence of complications, such as chest and abdominal pain, fever, transient bacteremia were equal between these two groups. No patients had ectopic embolism. The number of ligation device in synchronous treatment group was more than sequential treatment group (8.19 ± 2.01 vs 7.81 ± 1.78,P > 0.05), and the rate of esophageal varices disappearance was inferior to sequential treatment group (59.09% vs 70.00%), however, there were no statistical difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic injection of tissue glue and lauromacrogol synchronization ligation is safe and effective for esophageal and gastric variceal with low complication rates. This method could reduce gastroscopy times and medical expenses, and is worthy of further investigating.
