Objective To analyse the cause,therapeutic modalities and prognosis of late recurrent retinal detachment after scleral buckling.Methods A total of 657 patients(657 eyes) underwent scleral buckling,and the clinical data of 16 patients(16 eyes) with recurrent retinal detachment 6 months after the procedure were retrospectively analysed. ResultsLate recurrent retinal detachment occurred in 6 to 45 months after primary surgery,(23.87?18.46)months in average,in 2.44% of all the patients.Among the 16 patients with recurrent retinal detachment,11 experienced new retinal breaks,and old breaks reopened in the other 5.Proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) grade B was found in 4 patients,grade C in 10,and grade D in 2.Fifteen patients were reoperated,among whom 4 received scleral buckling,and the other 11 vitreoretinal surgery.After reoperation,the retina was reattached in 13 cases.The patients were followed up for 4 to 16 months,and no new recurrence was observed. Conclusion Late recurrent retinal detachment after scleral buckling is rare and PVR seems to be an important factor.Reoperation based on the vitreoretinal condition can yield better prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effect of dissociative intracytoplasmic domain of leukemia inhibitory factor receptor ? (LIFR?) subunit on the growth of HL-60 cells and the related signal transduction mechanism. Methods: The constructed recombinant plasmids pcDNA3.0-190CT2+3 and cDNA3.0-190CT3 were identified and transfected into HL-60 cells with liposome FuGene-6. Then the cells were cultured in a medium containing G-418 and the positive clones were selected. Immunohistochemical method and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of the target protein in HL-60 cells and the growth curve of the cells was plotted. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the phosphorylation levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) were assayed by Western blotting. Results: Western blotting detected the band of target protein and the cell line stably expressing the target protein was obtained. Compared with that of the wild type group, the cell sizes in 190CT2+3 and 190CT3 group were enlarged. The ratio of leaf cell number to the total cell number increased and the cell proliferation was slowed down. We also found that the expression of PCNA was decreased and the phosphorylation level of STAT3 was increased. Conclusion: The dissociative intracytoplasmic domain of LIFR? subunit can accelerate the differentiation of HL-60 cells, inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells, and activate signal molecule STAT3.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in China. MethodsThe reported articles about clinical analysis of patients with PBC in China were searched. The quality of included studies was critically evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 4.2 software about controlled trials. Results① Ninety-one literatures including 2315 patients wuth PBC were included. ②The common symptoms in PBC were fatigue (54.54％). AMA was found in 74.1％～100％ of patients with PBC, as well as the prevalence rate of anti-M2 range from 45％ to 83％. ANA antibodies present in 20％～83.78％ of patients, the most common antinuclear patterns were nuclear-envelope(38.65％).Increased levels of IgM [(2.8±0.7)～(7.3±5.1) g/L], IgG [(16.5±4.9)～(20.5±5.9) g/L] were found in these patients, and the most common liver histologic classification was type Ⅱ (36.6％). Sjogren's syndrome occured significantly more frequently in PBC (1.96％～34.61％). To the end of follow-up period (five months to nintysix months ), 3.80％ of patients were dead. ③ Meta-analysis performed in several case control studies, showed no significant differences was found in liver tests including of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotrans ferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), or gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), IgG levels between AMA positive groups and AMA negative groups. However, lower levels of IgM presented in the latter. While it also showed that levels of ALP decreased after ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)therapy. The levels of TBil were lower in the elderly than in younger group, but the mortality ratio for liver diseases was higher in the former. ConclusionThe clinical characteristics of the present series in China are mostly similar to those reported in other countries. Because of the low quality and the small number of included studies, larger sample-size, randomized, double-blinded controlled trials are needed.

Objective This study was designed to examine the expression of VEGF and its correlation with clinicopathological factors of cervical carcinoma. Methods mmunohistochemistry S-P method was used to detect the expression of VEGF in 10 cases of nomal cevical epithelium( NCE), 18 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN) and 77 cases of early invasive carcinoma of cervix (ICC). Results The positive rate of VEGF protein in NCE,CIN,ICC was 10% (1/10) ,44.4% (8/18) ,74. 0% (57/77), respectively. The defference was significant (P ＜0. 05). Expresson of VEGF was not related with tumor stage, histologic types and stroma infiltration, but related with cell differentiation and intravascular involvement、lymph node metastasis. Conclusion VEGF protein had a positive correlation with cell differentiation and intravascular involvement 、 lymph node metastasis. the expression of VEGF gene result in the occurrence and development of cervical carcinoma by inducing the angiogenesis.

Objective To explore the secretion of chemokine regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted(RANTES)influenced by the complex microenvironment in the peritoneal cavity of women with endometriosis and investigate chemotaxis of RANTES on the peritoneal monocytes.Methods The contact and non-contact co-culture systems including three target cells of ectopic tissue were established.The three target cells were endometrial stromal cells(ESC),human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMC)and monocytes.After collection of the supernatant of co-culture systems,the levels of RANTES were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(EUSA).Migration of U937 cell,a monocyte line,was detected by chemotaxis assay.Results ESC,HPMC,and U937 cultured alone secreted slight RANTES,(5.0±0.5),(4.0±0.3),and (254±40)ng/L. Compared with the culture of the target cell alone,the levels of RANTES in each co-culture system increased significantly,with the highest level in the contact culture system of E-H-U(2250±96)ng/L. RANTES secretion of non-contact co-culture of three cells were higher than contact co-culture of two cells(P＜0.01):U/E-H(912±93) vs E-H(50±40)ng/L,H/E-U(1201±93) vs E-U(243±192)ng/L,and E/H-U(1519±96) vs H-U(1251±73)ng/L. ESC,HPMC,and ESC-HPMC co-culture improved significantly migration of U937 cells [ number of cell migration respectively(6.0±0.3),(6.2±0.3),(10.0±0.3)×103,P＜0.01],which could be inhibited efficiently by anti-RANTES neutralizing antibody.Condusion The target cells in the peritoneal cavity of patients with endometriosis promote the secretion of RANTES in autocrine and paracrine manners and migration of monocytes.

Medicinal properties are specific attributes of traditional Chinese medicines(TCM). The medicinal property theory is an important principle for the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicines. In this paper, medicinal properties, flavors and meridian tropism were combined to represent TCM medicinal properties; and multiple medicinal properties were further combined into medicinal property combination modes. TCMs and medicinal property combination modes were divided according to their efficacies, which were regarded as the concept of inductive logic programming and finally got medicinal property combination and compatibility rules with different efficacies. These medicinal property combination and compatibility rules were used to form the theoretical model through the entity grammar system, realize the automatic reasoning process from the medicinal property combination and compatibility to the efficacies, verify the reasoning result and analyze their rationality and limitations, in order to provide new ideas for revealing the relations between the TCM compatibility rules and efficacies.
