Background The measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) by Cirrus optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been applied widely in ophthalmology.However,previous assessment of RNFL is based on spatial measurement,while the evaluation based on optical characteristics of OCT can offset the shortcomings of spatial measurement in some eye diseases.Objective This study was to analyze the optical characters of RNFL measured by OCT and its correlation with age in healthy Chinese individuals.Methods Four hundred and six normal healthy subjects were collected in Shanghai Shibei Hospital from June 2011 to June 2012,with the age of 40-83 years old.Macular RNFL was unilateral imaged using a Cirrus OCT device with 5 line raster macular scan mode under the approval of Ethic Committee of Shanghai Shibei Hospital and informed consent of subjects.A customized software was used to measure RNFL optical characters,including absorbance (A value) and attenuate coefficient.The difference of the measured parameters in different genders was compared.The correlations between RNFL optical characters and age were analyzed by linear regression analysis.Results The data of 353 eyes were included in the final outcomes.The RNFL thickness,A value and attenuate coefficient were (35.1 ±4.4) μm,121.6 ±5.3 and 2.06 ±0.25,respectively.RNFL thickness and A value showed significantly negative correlations with age (r=-0.487,-0.571,both at P＜0.01) with the regression equation Y=-0.17 X+45.23 and Y=-0.24 X+ 135.82,while a positive correlation was found between the attenuate coefficient and age (r=0.368,P＜0.01) with the regression equation Y=0.01 X+1.63.RNFL thickness and A value showed weaker positive correlations with OCT signal intensity (rs =0.128,P =0.016;rs =0.284,P＜0.01),but no remarked correlation was seen between the attenuate coefficient and OCT signal intensity (rs =-0.053,P=0.319).Conclusions Age of subjects affects the parameters of OCT optical characteristics in normal populaition.Age-related RNFL change in optical characters of OCT should be considered before concluding optical parameters.

Objective To study the clinical and neuroimaging features of top of the basilar artery syndrome(TOBS).Methods The clinical and neuroimaging features of 63 cases with TOBS were analyzed retrospectively.Results Main causes of TOBS were atherosclerosis and embolisms.Vertigo and disturbance of consciousness and movement of the eye-ball,abnormality of pupils,partial blindness were the main clinical features.The most important imageologic feature of TOBS was infarction of thalami or midbrain,which was frequently complicating with infarction in other locations.Conclusion TOBS has simultaneously more than two infarction lesions,either superior or inferior tentorium of cerebellum with many complications and poor prognosis.MRI is more sensitive than CT.Early MRI examination,systemic and comprehansive treatment may improve the prognosis of the TOBS patients.

ObjectiveTo study the modes of case finding and diagnosis for inpatients of active pulmonary tuberculosis with primary treatment.MethodsData of 1000 inpatients with active pulmonary tuberculosis input into a computer were analyzed retrospectively.including clinical symptoms,signs and relevant laboratory examinations.to evaluate their diagnostic value.ResultsAmong 1000 active tuberculosis case8 hospitalized with symptoms and signs,95.9 percent suffered by cough,77.7 percent by expectoration and 50.8 percent (n=508) by fever,and 51.5 percent (n=777) with strong positive purified protein defivative (PPD) skin test,61.5 percent with positive serum anti-tuberculosis antibody,48.8 percent with positive acid-fast staining on sputum smear and 57.9 percent with positive sputum bacteriologle culture.And,49.4 percent of the patients were diagnosed by laboratory positive sputum,and 50.6 percent of those with negative sputum were diagnosed by comprehensively clinical considerations,ineluding 51.6 percent positive PPD skin teat, or positive serum anti-tubereulosis antibody,but 48.4 percent of them were all negative in varied laboratory examinations.ConclusionsHospital visit due to symptom is the main method for tuberculosis finding in our country.All those with Cough for two or more weeks should be screened by routine examinations for excluding tuberculosis.Case finding rate Was low by sputum examinations.so comprehensive diagnosis is still important for those tuberculosis patients with negative sputum.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in the expression of T-cell death-associated gene 8(TD- AG8) in spinal cord in rats with bone cancer pain.MethodsTwo hundred and twenty-four female rats weighting 150-180 g were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control group(group Ⅰ,n ＝ 64),normal saline group (group Ⅱ,n ＝ 64),bone cancer pain group(group Ⅲ],n ＝ 96).Bone cancer pain was induced by inoculating Walker256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the tibia medullary cavity.Mechanical withdrawl threshold(MWT)was measured at 1 d before(baseline)and 1,3,6,9,12,15 and 18 d after inoculation.Sixteen rats were sacrificed at 1 day before(baseline)and 6,9,12,15 and 18 d after inoculation in group Ⅲ and 18 d after inoculation in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ.The L4-6 spinal cord were removed,and the number of TDAG8 positive cell was counted,and the expression of TDAG8 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR.ResultsCompared with baseline value and group Ⅰ,MWT was decreased,and the number of TDAG8 positive cells and the expression of TDAG8 mRNA in spinal cord were increased at 6-18 d after inoculation in group Ⅲ ( P < 0.01 ).ConclusionThe expression of TDAG8 in spinal cord is up-regulated in rats with bone cancer pain,which may be involved in the mechanism of the development of bone cancer pain.

Objective To explore the curative effect of percutaneous cavity injection for the treatment of drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis guided by color Doppler ultrasound.Methods Ninety-six bacterial culture positive patients with drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis were randomly divided into treatment group(n =48) and control group (n =48).Patients in both groupswere given systemic anti tuberculosis therapy,and those who in the treatment group were given extra percutaneous cavity injection guided by color Doppler ultrasound.Results After 3 months of treatment,the sputum negative conversation rate,X-ray absorption rate,cavity closure rate,and cavity efficiency rate of the treatment group were 56.3％ (27/48),81.3％ (39/48),58.3％ (28/48) and 75.0％ (36/48) respectively,higher than those of the control group 35.4％ (17/48),62.5％ (30/48),37.5％ (18/48) and 50.0％ (24/48) respectively),and the differences were statistically significant(x2 =4.20,P =0.02 4 ; x2 =4.17,P =0.041; x2 =9.58,P =0.004 ; x2 =6.40,P=0.020).After 12 months of treatment,the sputum negative conversation rate,cavity closure rate,cavity efficiency rate of the treatment group were 93.8％ (45/48),83.3％ (40/48),95.8％ (46/48) respectively,higher than those of control group(77.1％ (37/48),62.5％ (30/48) and 81.3％ (39/48)),and there were significant differences between two groups (x2 =5.35,5.27,5.03 ; P =0.040,0.038,0.025) ; the X-ray absorption rate of the treatment group was 93.8％ (45/48),higher than that of ciontrol group (83.3％ (40/48)),but there was no significant difference between two groups(x2 =2.56,P =0.199).Conclusion It is very effective to treat drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis using percutaneous cavity injection guided by Color Doppler Ultrasound.No obvious complications or adverse reactions have been observed so far.

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture at points selected from different regions on the positive expression of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and the stem cell factor (SCF) in gastric antrum tissues in diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) rats, and to explore the influence of region-based point selection on the acupoint combination efficacy. Methods: Sixty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a normal group (group A), a model group (group B), a group of Zusanli (ST 36) plus Zhongwan (CV 12) (group C), a group of Zusanli (ST 36) plus Neiguan (PC 6) (group D), and a group of Zusanli (ST 36) plus non-meridian non-acupoint points (group E), based on the random number table (n=12). DGP rat model was established by single intraperitoneal injection of 2% streptozotocin and common diet. After successful modeling, the rats were treated once a day for 4 weeks. Positive ICC and SCF expressions were measured by immunohistochemistry. Results: Compared with group A, the gastrointestinal propulsion rate of group B showed a statistically significant decrease (P<0.05). Compared with group B, the gastrointestinal propulsion rate and the expression of ICC in the gastric antrum were significantly higher in group C, group D and group E, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the expression of C-kit protein in group C was statistically significantly higher than that in group D and group E (P<0.05). The expression of SCF protein was significantly increased in group C than in group B, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture can improve the symptoms of delayed gastric emptying in DGP model rats, and regulate the expression of ICC and SCF in gastric antrum tissues. The effect of Zusanli (ST 36) plus Zhongwan (CV 12) in the gastric region is superior to that of the Zusanli (ST 36) plus distal Neiguan (PC 6) or non-meridian non-acupoint point, indicating that region-based point selection is the key factor affecting the effect of acupoint combination.

Objective To investigate the association of HLA-A and -B alleles with syphilis in Shandong Han population. Methods The allele frequencies of HLA-A and -B were detected in 205 patients with syphilis and 5844 normal human controls by PCR-sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR-SSOP)method. Results The patients with syphilis showed a higher frequency of HLA-A*02, B*15, B*40 alleles(all P＜0.01, Pc＜0.05) and a lower frequency of HLA-A*26 allele (P= 0.003, Pc = 0.039) than the normal human controls did. There was an increased frequency of HLA-B*15 and B*40 alleles in patients with symptomatic syphilis (both P＜0.01, Pc＜0.05), as well as an elevated frequency of HLA-A*02, 11, 29, B*15 and 40 alleles (all P＜0.01, Pc＜0.05) and a decreased frequency of HLA-A*30 and 33 in patients with asymptomatic syphilis(P=0.002, 0.026, Pc=0.001, 0.013 respectively), compared with the normal human controls. The frequency of HLA-A*30 allele was significantly higher in patients with symptomatic syphilis than in those with asymptomatic syphilis (P = 0.001, Pc = 0.013). Conclusions There seems to be an association between HLA-A*02, B* 15 and B*40 alleles and syphilis, between HLA-A*30 allele and symptomic syphilis, and between HLA-A*02, 11 and 29 alleles and asymptom1atic syphilis, in Shandong Han population.
