AlM:To investigate the expression of VEGF, CD34, Ki-67 and p21 in pterygium as well as the correlation between their expression and clinical pathological characteristics;explore its pathogenesis.
METHODS: lmmunohistochemical S - P staining method was adopted in detecting the expression of VEGF, CD34, Ki-67 and p21 in 62 cases of pterygia and 20 cases of normal conjunctival tissues. Relationship between these markers and clinical pathological characteristics was analyzed.
RESULTS:(1) The positive expression of VEGF, CD34, Ki-67 and p21 in 62 cases of pterygia was 74. 2% (46/62), 77. 4% ( 48/62 ), 66. 1% ( 41/62 ) and 40. 3% ( 25/62 ) respectively. The differences were statistically significant compared with normal conjunctival tissues (P<0. 05). (2) The expression of VEGF and CD34 in 62 cases of pterygia was correlated with clinical types and stages (P<0. 05), and was not associated with sex, age and occupation ( P>0. 05 ); the expression of Ki-67 was correlated with clinical stages (P<0. 05), and was not associated with other clinical pathological characteristics ( P>0. 05 ); the expression of p21 was correlated with clinical stages and pterygium characters (P<0. 05), and was not associated with other clinical pathological characteristics ( P> 0. 05 ). ( 3 ) Spearman correlation showed that there was a positive correlation between VEGF and Ki - 67 ( r = 0. 279, P < 0. 05 ), a positive correlation between VEGF and CD34 (r=0. 299, P<0. 05), a negative correlation between VEGF and p21 (r=-0. 267, P<0. 05 ); it also showed that there was no correlation between any two of CD34, Ki-67 and p21 (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: ( 1 ) Overexpression of VEGF, Ki-67, CD34 and low expression of p21 suggest that these markers are concerned with the development and progression of pterygium. ( 2 ) Expression of VEGF and CD34 increases along with the increase of clinical types and stages, expression of Ki-67 increases along with the increase of clinical stages, and expression of p21 decreases along with the improvement of clinical types or stages; they suggest that these markers may play important roles in the development and recurrence of pterygium. ( 3 ) There is positive correlation between VEGF and Ki-67, VEGF and CD34 as well as negative correlation between VEGF and p21. They suggest that there may be synergistic action between two factors during the development and progression of pterygium.

In this paper, the process performance indexes (PPIs) P(p) and P(pk) were introduced and applied to evaluate the process capability and quality consistence of Chinese medicine products. The historical quality analysis data of Qingkailing injection were collected and taken as the research object. The confidence intervals of P(p) and P(pk) were estimated based on the Bootstrap sampling methods. Results showed that the value and width of the confidence interval P(p) of were smaller that of P(pk) suggesting that the P(pk) index was more sensitive than P(p) in process capability analysis. Within the production period concerned, the P(pk) values estimated from different quality indexes of Qingkailing injection, such as baicalin, cholic acid, geniposide and total nitrogen, were 1.122, 2.055, 1.564 and 0.891, respectively. It could be found that the cholic acid had the highest process capability, followed by the geniposide and baicalin. The total nitrogen had the lowest process capability, indicating that it is necessary to reinforce the quality management of total nitrogen related manufacturing processes. The case studies demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of PPIs, which are convenient to be used in production practice of Chinese medicine.

BackgroundWhether the peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILMP) increase the closure rate of idiopathic macular hole is still in controversy.Some ophthalmologist recommend vitrectomy combined with inner limiting membrane peeling for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole.However,the removal of ILMP is difficult because of its similar appearance to adjacent tissues.Objective This study was to investigate the efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide(TA) and indocyanine green(ICG) double staining-assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling during the surgery.Methods A consecutive case- observational study was designed.The standardized vitrectomy was performed in 25 eye of 23 cases with IMH.During the vitrectomy,TA and ICG were injected into posterior pole vitreous to visualize and assist the ILM peeling.The dying effectiveness was observed,and the closure rate of macular hole,visual acuity,intraocular pressure and complications were evaluated after surgery.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to operation.Results Posterior vitreous cortex and ILM were visible and the residual vitreous and cortex were removed clearly after dying of TA and ICG in all the 25 eyes.During the following-up duration of 3-8 months,the completely anatomical reattachment of the macular area was in 22 eyes ( 88.0％ ) and partially reattachment in 3 eyes( 12.0％ ).The best corrected vision was 0.07-0.60 in all of the operated eyes 2 months after surgery.Conclusions TA and ICG- assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling appears to be a safe and effective method for IMH repair.

Objective To observe the perioperative management of cardiac surgery and extracorporeal circulation method in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency(G6PD).Methods Ten patients with G6PD deficiency underwent uneventful cardiac surgery procedures between January 2005 and December 2010.Twenty patients who had non-G6PD deficiency were as a control group,the selected conditions were the same gender,age,body mass,the risk of heart disease surgery.The preoperative management in patients with G6PD deficiency mainly focused on avoiding the drugs implicated in haemolysis,reducing the surgical stress,using moderate hypothermia extracorporeal circulation and enhancing blood conservation.Observed indicators included the assisted ventilation time,urine volume,the drainage volume of chest tube,the amount transfusion of red blood cells and plasma,the level of hemoglobin and serum total bilirubin in the 2nd day after surgery,ICU stay.Results Compared with the control group,patients with G6PD deficiency had no significant difference in duration of ventilation after the operation,drainage,urine,Hgb,bilirubin levels,and blood transfusion[(9.3 ± 4.5)h vs (8.6 ± 5.7)h,(2100 ±670)ml vs (1950 ± 490) ml,(253 ± 146)ml vs (260 ± 120)ml,(1.3 ± 1.0)U vs (1.8 ± 1.2)U,(96 ± 25)g/L vs (99 ± 12)g/L,and (24 ± 8)μmol/L vs (27 ± 1 l)μmol/L,t =0.978,2.032,1.257,0.891,2.182,2.271,and 1.329,all P ＞ 0.05].The duration of ICU discharge was significantly longer in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient group[ (2.6 ± 0.6)d vs (1.8 ± 1.5)d,t =2.704,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions Cardiac surgery can be performed safely in patients with G6PD deficiency with enhanced perioperative management.

AlM:To investigate the influence of phacoemulsification with different incision on tear film.
METHODS:Tear film was monitored in 152 patients (169 eyes) after phacoemulsification. Patients were divided into two groups according to the type of incision:group A (76 patients, 83 eyes) with a 3. 2mm corneoscleral limbus incision phacoemulsification and group B (76 patients, 86 eyes ) with a sclemtic tunnel incision. Tear break-up time ( BUT ) , cornea fluorescein staining ( CFS ) , lid-parallel conjunctival folds ( LlPCOF) and lid-wiper epitheliopathy ( LWE ) were observed at 3d preoperatively and 1wk, 1, 3 and 6mo postoperatively. The results were analyzed using a Chi-square test and t-test with SPSS 17. 0.
RESULTS:BUT: The BUT of two groups was obviously shorter at 1wk, 1mo postoperatively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant at 3, 6mo(P>0. 05). CFS score:There was a large increase in CFS at 1wk, 1mo postoperatively, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant at 3, 6mo (P>0. 05). LlPCOF:There was a large increase in LlPCOF at 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups (P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant at 6mo (P>0. 05). LWE: There was a large increase in tear osmolarity at 1wk, 1mo postoperatively. The differences were statistically significant between the two groups (P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups at 3, 6mo (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSlON:The stability of tear film in patients with scleral tunnel incision is much better than in patients with 3. 2mm corneoscleral limbus incision phacoemulsification. There is no significant difference between the two groups during later postoperative periods.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the clinical characteristics and diagnosis key points of brain abscess caused by Nocardia asiatica, and provide a clinical basis for diagnosing and treating intracranial infection caused by Nocardia. Methods　A case of pulmonary Nocardia asiatica complicated with brain abscess diagnosed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University was selected to analyze the clinical manifestations, cerebrospinal fluid characteristics, pulmonary and cranial imaging features, and treatment plan, and to summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience. Results　The patient was an elderly woman with a history of diabetes, dry cough was the first symptom without fever or headache. At the beginning of the course, it was diagnosed as pulmonary infection and tuberculosis in the local hospital, and received conventional antimicrobial and anti-tuberculosis therapies, but showed no improvement. The patient developed progressive limb weakness, followed by consciousness disorders, and coma. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) adenosine deaminase and lactate dehydrogenase were not abnormal, CSF pressure, protein and white blood cells were high, mainly with multiple nuclear cells. CSF glucose and chloride were normal in the early stage of the disease, but decreased significantly in the later stage. Metagenomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid indicated Nocardia asiatica with a specific sequence number of 537. Lung CT showed exudation, abscess, and cavity in the right lung. Skull MRI scan + enhancement suggested multiple scattered abscesses in both cerebral hemispheres. The abscesses were of different sizes and showed ring enhancement, with extensive surrounding edema, and ventricular compression. After treatment with meropenem, linezolid, and compound sulfamethoxazole tablets, the cerebrospinal fluid recovered, and the lesions in the lungs and intracranial structures improved. Conclusions　Brain abscess caused by Nocardia asiatica is similar to the tuberculous brain in clinical symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid examination, craniocerebral imaging, so we should be alert to the possibility of Nocardia infection in patients with diabetes. At the same time, metagenomic testing of the cerebrospinal fluid can help confirm the diagnosis. The mortality and disability rates of brain abscess caused by Nocardia are high. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis.
