Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;8(3):125-129
Objectives: To investigate the occurrence and risk factors of cerebral microbleeds on the cognitive function in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and to investigate the effect of cerebral microbleeds on the cognitive function in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Methods: A total of 160 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease were divided into cerebral microbleed group (n =30) and control group (n = 130) according to MR T2 *-weighted gradient echo sequences. The demographic data of the patients, conventional risk factors, sites of microbleed, types of cerebral infarction, severity of white matter changes, and numbers of lacunar infarction were recorded in detail. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment was conducted in both groups. All the data were processed using SPSS 16.0 software. Results: Circled digit oneThe mean age of the microbleed group was older than that in the non-microbleed group (75 ±9 vs. 66 ±6, P = 0.000) ; the degree of white matter changes was higher (6.7 ±2.4 vs. 3.5 ±1. 8, P =0.003) ; and the numbers of lacunar infarction were larger (5.0 ±2. 3 vs. 2. 1 ±1.3, P= 0.000). Circled digit twoThe logistic regression analysis showed that the high blood cholesterol, the degree of white matter change ( WMC ) , and the numbers of lacunar infarction were the independent risk factors for CMB (OR =3. 880, 95% CI:0. 086 -0. 994; OR = 11.735, 95% CI; 1.340 -2.930; OR = 10. 160, 95% CI: 1.241 -2.475). Circled digit threeThere was no significant difference in the cognitive function scores between the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Circled digit fourThere was significant difference in the executive ability between the two groups (P =0.010). Conclusions: Circled digit oneCerebral microbleeds are closely associated with leukoaraiosis and lacunar infarction; Circled digit twothe patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease accompanied by microbleeds has obvious executive dysfunction ; Circled digit threecontrolling the risk factors for microbleeds has a certain role for the control of the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

AIM: To describe the prevalence and causes of low vision and blindness in a population within Sichuan province in southwestern China.METHODS: A stratified, multi-phased and cluster probability sampling design was employed to enumerate 125 641 participants from 40 351 households within 38 counties/cities. Participants underwent a comprehensive eye examination, including standardized visual acuity (VA) tests using logarithm of the minimum angle resolution charts. Prevalence was age- and gender-standardized to the 2000 China Census.RESULTS: Population-weighted prevalence of blindness was 0.77% (95% CI: 0.72- 0.82, n=966) and low vision was 1.22% (95% CI: 1.14-1.27, n=1 513). Overall, the prevalence of visual disability was 1.40% in the urban population, and 2.22% in the rural population (P<0.01). Cataract was the leading cause of visual disability (55.7%, n=1 381), and was of similar frequency in both urban and rural populations. Retinal disease was the second leading cause (9.7%, n=236), but was more common in urban than rural participants (34.3% vs 2.7%, P<0.01). Corneal disease accounted for 6.5% (n=161) of cases of visual disability, and was more common in the rural population (7.2% vs 3.9%, P=0.006). CONCLUSION: We estimate that 1.72 million people suffer from visual disability within Sichuan province, of which 525 000 are blind, the focus of blindness prevention should be in rural area.

Objective To explore the occurrence of anemia, anaemia type, iron metabolism situation,variation of serum Prealbumin (PA), and the relationship among them in cancer patients. Methods Three hundred and seventy cancer patients, admitted from July 2007 to April 2010 to our hospital, were enrolled into the study. The clinical data of all subjects were analyzed retrospectively. Results The incidence of anemia in 370 patients was 55.67% (206/370). Among all 206 anemia cases,129 cases had mild anaemia and 77 cases had middle to severe anaemia. In the last group ( n = 77 ), we found significant decrease in serum iron level ( [ 8. 37 ± 6. 09 ] μmol/L) and increase in serum ferritin level ( [ 474. 57 ± 327. 58 ] μg/L); and the correlation between serum iron and the anemia degree( Ps < 0. 05 ). However, we found no significant differences of serum ferritin level between the groups with different degree of anemia(P >0. 05). Among all 206 anemia cases ,187(90. 77% ) patients had a low level of serum PA, but no relationship between the degree of anemia and the drop of serum PA ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion The anemia was very popular in cancer patients, which had correlation with iron metabolism situation but not PA.

AIM:To evaluate the clinical characteristics in retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFL) thickness of the 8~17 years old near sightedness, provide the basis for juvenile glaucoma diagnosis, to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
METHODS:A total of 165 eyes from 99 healthy subjects ( age range 8 ~ 17 years ) were divided into low, moderate, high myopia and normal group. Cirrus HD OCT was used to measure the RNFL thickness. Each subject was performed circular scans around the optic nerve with a circle size of 3. 46mm. Total average, mean quadrant and clock - hour RNFL thicknesses were recorded and compared between the four groups. The characteristics of the RNFL thickness of myopia were observed.
RESULTS: Compared myopia groups with normal group, the mean RNFL thickness decreased, there was statistically significant difference in high myopia group (P<0. 05). The mean RNFL thickness of superior, inferior and nasal quadrant decreased, temporal quadrant was thickened. Compared moderate and high myopia groups with normal group, superior, inferior quadrant RNFL thickness were thinning, temporal quadrant was thickening, the differences had statistical significance ( P< 0. 05 ). The RNFL measurements were statistically significant thinner in the myopia groups compared with normal group at 1:00, 5:00, 6:00 and 12:00 o'clock ( P<0.05) and thicker at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 o'clock (P<0. 05). The RNFL measurement was statistically significant thicker in the low myopia group compared with normal group at 3:00 o'clock (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Compared adolescent myopia with normal, the Avg ( mean RNFL thickness ) , S ( superior quadrant RNFL thickness ) , I ( inferior quadrant RNFL thickness), 1:00, 5:00, 6:00 and 12:00 o'clock RNFL thickness is thinner, which is decreased with the increasing SE. While the temporal ( T) quadrant, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 o'clock RNFL thickness is thicker, which increased with the increasing SE. Analysis of RNFL thickness in the evaluation of glaucoma should always be interpreted with reference to the refractive status, so as not to cause misdiagnosis of glaucoma. The highest diagnosis efficiency position of glaucoma is infratemporal (7:00~8:00 o'clock) and superior temporal (10:00 ~11:00 o'clock), which is not thinner in juvenile myopia, if these positions become thinner, it may be the possibility of glaucoma.

Journal of Experimental Hematology 2010;18(6):1632-1637
Acquired chromosomal translocations can be identified in nearly 50% of human acute myeloid leukemias. The common chromosomal translocation in this disease is t(8;21) (q22;q22). It involves the aml1 (runx1) gene on chromosome 21 and the eto (mtg8, runx1t1) gene on chromosome 8 generating the aml1/eto fusion gene. An initial model for its pathogenesis emphasized the conversion of a hematopoietic transcriptional activator AML1 into a leukemogenic repressor which blocked myeloid differentiation at the level of target gene regulation. Aml1/eto fusion genes inhibit key hematopoietic transcription factor that function as tumor suppressors at several nodal point during hematopoietic differentiation. A new model is presented in which aml1/eto coordinates expansion of the stem cell compartment with diminished lineage commitment and with genome instability. In this review, the molecular role of aml1/eto fusion gene and his transcribed isoforms in regulating stem renewal, blocking hematopoietic differentiation and interacting with various lineage-specific transcription factors are summarized.
