To investigate risk factors and efficacy of reoperation for neovascular glaucoma ( NVG) secondary to vitrectomy in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
●METHODS:Seven cases (7 eyes) from October, 2009 to December, 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients had NVG after the primary vitrectomy for PDR and were performed secondary vitrectomy combined with laser photocoagulation .
●RESULTS: The mean intraocular pressure ( lOP) was (11. 21±4. 22)mmHg before primary surgery. The number of laser spots ranged from 622 to 1124 during the first vitrectomy. Cataract extraction was performed in all 7 cases and intraocular lens was implanted in 5 cases. The mean lOP was (10. 11± 3. 62) mmHg during 2mo after the primary surgery. During follow- up, all the patients had significantly progressive intraocular inflammation. Vitreous hemorrhage was not absorbed completely in 2 cases and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage occurred in the other 5 cases. Five cases had poor glycemic control and the other 2 cases had bad blood pressure control. NVG occurred in all 7cases. The mean lOP was (41. 13 ± 7. 76) mmHg before the secondary surgery. After the secondary surgery, the lOP were under control in 5 cases. For the other 2 cases, the lOP was controlled in one case by transscleral cyclophotocoagulation, another one was lost in follow-up with uncontrolled lOP.
●CONCLUSlON: Primary vitrectomy combined with lens extraction, insufficient laser speckle, unabsorbed and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, intraocular inflammation and systemic condition may be the risk factors associated with the occurrent of NVG after vitrectomy in PDR. Secondary vitrectomy combined with sufficient retinal photocoagulation is efficiency for NVG after vitrectomy for the PDR.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of bleeding cupping with different acupoints and frequencies in treating acne vulgaris.MethodSixty-four patients were divided by using stratified randomization method into Dazhui (GV14) group of 32 cases (16 cases in the subgroup of once every week, and the other 16 cases in the subgroup of twice every week) and Geshu(BL17) group of 32 cases (16 cases in the subgroup of once every week, and the rest 16 cases in the subgroup of twice every week). Dazhui group received bleeding cupping once every week or twice every week, while Geshu group also received bleeding cuppingonce every week or twice every week. The acne symptoms scores and total score were observed before and after intervention to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy.ResultThe symptoms scores including oily condition, skin lesion nature, counts, color, and swelling pain were decreased after intervention in the two groups (P<0.01). The improvement of oily condition in Geshugroup was more significant than that in Dazhuigroup (P<0.05). The symptoms scores including oily condition, skin lesion nature, counts, color, and swelling pain were decreased after intervention in all the subgroups of different frequencies (P<0.01). The improvements of skin lesion nature and swelling pain were more significant in the subgroups of twice a week than that in the subgroups of once a week (P<0.05).ConclusionBleeding cupping with different acupoints and frequencies all can produce satisfactory efficacies; bleeding cupping at Geshucan produce a more significant efficacy than that at Dazhui;treatment at a frequency of twice a week can produce a more significant effect than once a week in improving skin lesion nature and swelling pain.

AIM: To comprehensively investigate the current status of cataract surgery in Leshan city, and find the existing problems according to the survey results as a guide to cataract prevention and treatment in future.
METHODS: We surveyed the status of cataract surgery containing equipments, surgeons and surgery conditions in 17 ophthalmology departments of general hospitals from Leshan including 6 counties, 1 county-level city and 4 districts during 2012. Cataract surgery methods, according to various surgery financial resources, surgical performances and surgical incision, were divided into phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation ( Phaco + IOL ) , extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation ( ECCE + IOL ) , and each method contained 2 groups. We analyzed the outcomes following preoperative examination, surgeons, surgical methods, surgical equipments, types of IOL, surgical quantity, surgical results, and intraoperative complication.
RESULTS: In whole city there were 16 operating microscopes, 43 slit lamp microscopes, 12 non-contact tonometers, 1 intraocular lens Master, 8 optical A/B type ultrasonic examination systems, 4 YAG lasers and 12 phacoemulsification instruments. There 15 doctors could complete cataract surgery independently, and 5 of them were phacoemulsification surgeons. The total number of completed cataract surgeries reached 6 211 eyes, containing 3 564 eyes for Phaco+IOL ( 57%) ( preoperative visual acuity ≥0. 3 in Phaco+IOL1 were 1 520 eyes, 24%) and 2 647 eyes for ECCE+IOL ( 43%) ( 1 533 eyes in ECCE+IOL1, 25%). In various groups, off-blindness rate was 94. 80%-100%, off-disability rate was 90. 41%-100%, and 94. 96% - 100% received intraocular lens implantation, intraoperative complication rate was 1. 00%-15. 10%.
CONCLUSION: The distribution of surgeons and equipments in the whole city is unbalanced, and the utilization rate of phaco equipment is low. The levels are different in various hospitals on surgical technique, surgical quantity and surgical results. Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation is considered as the main therapy for cataract, and as a transition to dioptric and personalized cataract surgery. The surgical condition of the city is good, but the proportion of cataract surgery for prevention of blindness in Leshan city is low, and the surgical technique remains to be further improved.

Objective To explore influencing factors for complete resection and operation time of endoscopic submucosal dissection( ESD) for colorectal tumors. Methods This retrospective study included 95 consecutive colorectal tumors in 88 patients whose pathological diagnosis was adenoma and carcinoma, treated with ESD at the Department of Endoscopy of the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2013 to December 2014. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted on the factors related to complete resection and operation time. Results Average tumor size was 28. 7±14. 1 mm(range,8?80 mm), and the average procedure time was 80. 72±63. 90 min. The rate of complete resection was 92. 6%(88/95),and the rate of incomplete resection was 7. 4%(7/95). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that fibrosis (P=0. 012,OR=52. 473, 95%CI:2. 571?1140. 438) contributed to incomplete resection. Fibrosis ( P=0. 001, OR=0. 045, 95%CI:0. 007?0. 289) ,tumor size ( P=0. 035,OR=0. 170, 95%CI:0. 033?0. 884) ,granular?type laterally spreading tumor ( P=0. 013, OR=34. 432, 95%CI:2. 138?554. 476 ) , non?granular?type laterally spreading tumor(P=0. 044,OR=31. 715, 95%CI:1. 093?919. 904) were independent factors for extending operation time of colorectal ESD. Conclusion The severer fibrosis can induce higher rate of incomplete resection. The more severe fibrosis is, the larger tumor size is, and the longer operation time is.

ObjectiveTo discuss the method and significance of concentric circumareolar approach in treatment of gynecomastia.MethodsThe incision was designed with the patient in a standing position.The location of the new nipple was determined,around which a outer cycle with the diameter of 5 cm was marked.And then a concentric inner circle with the diameter of 2.5 -3 cm was marked around the original nipple.The bilateral nipple position should be on the same level.A rim of tissue around the nipple-areola complex( NAC )was deepithelialized,excision of excess glandular tissue was performed subcutaneously and vascular network of dermis was preserved as much as possible.The purse string suture was applied in the circumareolar incision.Results 30 patients with gynecomastia were treated with this method.The result of the operation was pleasing with good aesthetic appearance,normal blood supply,and inconspicuous scars.Conclusion As a surgical approach of gynaecomastia,concentric circumareolar incision can remove excess glandular tissues and redundant skin,and has the benefit of concealing incision,simple procedure and satisfactory outcome.

Objective:To explore the influence of treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors ( sta-tins) on the expression profile of microRNAs ( miRNAs) in the plasma of patients with unstable angina ( UA) .Methods:The Taqman low-density miRNA array ( TLDA) and significance analysis of microar-rays ( SAM) were used to identify distinct miRNA expression profiles in the plasma of UA patients treated with long-term and regular statins ( UA receiving statins , n=6 ) compared with UA patients who had not received statins therapy before ( UA received no statins , n=6 ) .These differentially expressed miRNAs discovered in the profiling were further validated by real-time PCR in another 20 controls with non-cardiac chest pain , 26 UA patients received no statins , and 19 UA patients received statins .Results: By using TLDA and SAM , significantly decreased expression levels of 21 miRNAs were observed in the UA pa-tients receiving statins compared with those who received no statins ( fold change >3 and false discovery rate<0 .0001%) .The unsupervised hierarchical clustering based on miRNA expression clearly separa-ted the UA patients receiving statins from those who received no statins .Consistent with the profiling da-ta, the levels of 5 inflammation-associated miRNAs (miR-106b, miR-21, miR-25, miR-451, and miR-92a) were down regulated (P<0.05) in the UA patients receiving statins compared with those who re-ceived no statins.Conclusion: A group of inflammation-associated miRNAs, consisting of miR-106b, miR-21, miR-25, miR-451, and miR-92a, could be decreased by treatment with statins and may be used as a novel biomarker for effectiveness of statins therapy in patients with UA .

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of serum cytokines and autoantibodies in children with central diabetes insipidus.Methods:A retrospective study was used.A total of 52 children diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus who were hospitalized in Qingdao municipal hospital affiliated to Qingdao Universityfrom January 2016 to January 2020 were selected as the study group, and 60 healthy children with similar gender and age were selected as the control group.The general data of the study group and the control group, 24 h urine volume, urine specific gravity and urine osmotic pressure before the start of water deprivation test, the results of pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the concentration of serum cytokines and autoimmune antibodies were compared to evaluate the value of serum cytokines and autoimmune antibodies in the prediction of central diabetes insipidus.Results:The 24 h urine volume in the study group (201.6 ± 9.9 mL/kg)was significantly higher than that in the control group(9.06±12.5 mL/kg). The urine specific gravity(1.006±0.002) and urine osmotic pressure((116.4±23.5) mOsm/L)were significantly lower than those in the control group((1.013±0.004) and (649.6±72.4) mOsm/L)( t=15.378, 13.298, 45.625, all P<0.001). MRI examination showed that the proportion of disappearance of high signal in posterior pituitary (46.1%(24/52)), the proportion of thickening of the pituitary stalk(32.7%(17/52))and abnormal signal in pituitary(7.7%(4/52)) in study group were significantly higher than the control group(0%(0/0)) (all P<0.05); the levels of serum IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β ((117.0±7.8), (234±21.4), (178.6±15.1), (87±6.5) ng/L)and autoimmune antibodies ((654.1±194.3) ng/L) in study group were significantly increased compared to the control((12.5±2.3), (32.5±9.7), (37.8±7.3), (22.6±4.7), (98.0±23.7) ng/L) ( t value were 17.031, 27.490, 15.670, 12.360 and 109.984, respectively; all P<0.05). Conclusion:The concentration of serum cytokines and autoimmune antibodies has a significant clinical value in the evaluation of central diabetes insipidus in children.Combined with head MRI examination, it has a certain value in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of central diabetes insipidus in children.

Objective To study the effects of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B)decoy oligodeoxynucleotide(ODN)on the preeclamptic umbilical serum induced expression of precollagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ mRNA and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in cultured human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMC).Methods Primary cultured HUASMC of normal pregnancy were divided into four groups: group A(HUASMC were incubated with umbilical serum of normal pregnancy);group B(HUASMC were incubated with umbilical serum of preeclampsia);group C(HUASMC were transfected with NF-?B cis decoy ODN 48 h before incubation with umbilical serum of preeclampsia);group D(HUASMC were transfected with NF-?B scramble ODN 24 h before incubation with umbilical serum of preeclampsia).NF-?B cis decoy ODN and NF-?B scramble ODN were transfected with cationic lipofectamine to the latter two groups,respectively.The proliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The expression levels of precollagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ mRNA were detected by RT-PCR,the expression levels of TNF-? were detected by western blot.Results(1)The proliferation of group B(0.19?0.02)and group D(0.18?0.03)was significantly increased as compared with those of group A(0.11?0.02)and group C(0.14?20.02)(P0.05).(5)The expression of TNF-? of group B(0.74?0.11),group C(0.36?0.09)and group D(0.79?0.12)were significantly higher than that of group A(0.15?0.03)(P0.05).Conclusions NF-?B cis decoy ODN could down-regulate the proliferation,as well as the expression levels of precollagen and TNF-? of HUASMC induced by umbilical serum of preeclampsia.NF-?B may play an important role in the pathogenesis of placental artery abnormalities in preeclampsia.

The proteins encoded by the Herpesviridae β-gene play a critical role in the replication stage of the virus. In this paper, phylogenetic analyses provided evidence that someβ-gene products, such as UL2 and UL23 from HSV1, have their homologous genes in its family, and also exist in prokaryotic organisms, indicating that these viruses appear to have been assembled over evolutionary time by numerous independent events of horizontal gene transfer.
