AIM: To study the efficacy and safety of Ultra Q- YAG vitreolysis for vitreous floaters.
METHODS: Retrospective case series study. From September 2014 to May 2015 in Beijing Aier - Intech Eye Hospital, 263 cases (340 eyes) with vitreous floaters were involved. All patients underwent visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp, mydriatic fundus, B ultrasonic examination, and recorded the form of a vitreous opacity excluded pathological fundus lesions. All the patients were divided into two groups: Group A (<30 years old) 78 cases (82 eyes); the morphology of vitreous opacity were dot, filiform and mesh. Group B ( > 45 years old), 185 cases (258 eyes), the morphology of vitreous opacity was Weiss ring, translucent flocculent clouds or dense fibrous membrane. Patients in 30 - 45 years old were eliminated because of the untypical opacity factor. The treatment was done by the same physician. Vision changes was analyzed before and after the treatment.
RESULTS: Questionnaire survey was done. According to the scores of the questionnaires, patients were divided into 3 groups: no improvement ( 1 - 2 points), partial improvement (3-5 points), significant improvement (6-10 points ). At 1mo after treatment, Group A: no improvement in 9 eyes (11. 0%), partial improvement in 57 eyes (69. 5%) and significant improvement in 16 eyes (19. 5%); Group B: no improvement in 0 eyes, partial improvement in 23 eyes ( 8. 9%) and significant improvement in 235 eyes (91. 1%); all the patients had no complications.
CONCLUSION: The treatment with YAG vitreolysis for vitreous floaters is safe and effective, especially for the patients more than 45 years old whose vitreous floaters caused by posterior vitreous detachment.

Objective The changing patterns of pathogenic isolates and antibiotic susceptibility in Chongqing's neonates between 2010 and 2015 were investigated for the purpose to provide evidence for rational use of antibiotics and control of nosocomial infections.Methods The distribution of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility were analyzed.Identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were carried out using BD Phoenix 100 automated system and the conventional Kirby-Bauer method.The results were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.Results A total of 10 569 pathogenic bacterial strains were isolated during the period,most of which were gram-negative bacteria (80.8 ％,8 540/10 569),primarily Klebsiella pneumoniae (29.3 ％),followed by Escherichia coli (16.7 ％),Acinetobacter baumanmii (9.9 ％),Enterobacter cloacae (8.6 ％) and Pseudornonas aeruginosa (3.3 ％).Gram-positive strains accounted for 14.1％ (1 490/10 569),mainly Staphylococcus aureus (7.8％),Staphylococcus epidermidis (2.2 ％),and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (1.8 ％).Imipenem and meropenem showed high activity against Enterobacteriaceae (＜ 10％ resistant),followed by P.aeruginosa (＞ 10 ％ resistant),and A.baumannii (＞20％ resistant).The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains was 8,4 ％ in K.pneumoniae and 2.9 ％ in E.coli isolates,No gram-positive isolates were resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin or linezolid.Conclusions K.pneumoniae was the most frequently isolated pathogen in the neonates treated in Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.The prevalence of A.baumannii isolates is increasing.Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains are emerging.

Objective: To study the expression levels of forkhead transcription factor(FoxO1) mRNA and protein in the insulin resistance (IR) HepG2 cells model (HepG2/IR) and IR reversal HepG2 cells model (HepG2/IR-PH), and to explore its mechanism in IR.Methods:The HepG2/IR was induced with different doses of insulin (1×10-10, 1×10-9, 1×10-8, 1×10-7, 1×10-6 and 1×10-5 mol·L-1) for different time(24, 36 and 48 h)in the HepG2 cells.The cells in control group were not treated with insulin.The glucose levels in supernant were determined by glucose oxidase method, and the glucose consumption in HepG2 in various groups were calculated to confirm the optimum induction conditions of HepG2/IR.The HepG2/IR-PH was induced with different doses of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PH) (0.156, 0.313, 0.625, 1.250, 2.500, 5.000, 10.000 and 20.000 mmol·L-1) in the HepG2 cells, and control group was set up at the same time. The proliferation activities of cells were observed by MTT assay to confirm the optimum reversal concentration of PH.The FoxO1 mRNA and protein expression levels were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting methods.Results: The glucose consumption decreased by 45.84% in HepG2/IR after treated with 1×10-7 mol·L-1 insulin for 36 h, and there was significant difference compared with control group(P<0.05), the proliferation activity of cells had no change in the HepG2/IR-PH after treated with 1.25 mmol·L-1 PH for 24 h(P>0.05).Compared with control group, the expression levels of FoxO1 mRNA and protein in HepG2/IR were significantly increased(P<0.01);compared with control group, the expression levels of FoxO1 mRNA and protein in HepG2/IR-PH had no significant differences(P>0.05).Conclusion:The IR of HepG2/IR is associated with the FoxO1 mRNA expression.The detection of FoxO1 mRNA seems to be an indicator to evaluate the efficacy of insulin sensitizer, and inhibiting the expression of FoxO1 mRNA may be developed as a potential therapy for type 2 diabetes.

Objective To investigate the suppressive effects of Maytansine on the proliferation,migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.Methods MTT assay was employed to study the effect of Maytansine on the viability of 5-8F and SUNE1 cell lines.Wound healing assays and transwell were used to assess the effects of Maytansine on the migration and invasion capacities of NPC cells.Furthermore,an integrated bioinformatics analysis was conducted to clarify the potential mechanisms of Maytansine.Results Time course analysis of Maytansine treated NPC cells indicated significant decrease in cell viability,assessed by MTT.Furthermore,we identified that Maytansine reduced the migration and invasion capacities of NPC cells.Moreover,bioinformatics analysis showed that Maytansine suppressed the proliferation,migration and invasion via the upregulation of CDKN1B,BMP2,HBEGF,SMAD6,ADM,VEGFA,CTGF and IL6 in NPC cells.Conclusion Maytansine plays a significant suppressive role in the proliferation,migration and invasion of NPC cells and may be explored further for its potential therapeutic effects on NPC in humans.
