1.Put into perspective clinical advantages and limitations of all-in-one femtosecond laser corneal refractive surgery
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2014;32(5):385-387
The all-in-one femtosecond laser corneal refractive surgery,especially small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE),has gained more and more attention in clinic,because of its small incision,“no flap” and corneal biomechanical stability advantages.However,like any other kind of corneal refractive surgery,the all-in-one femtosecond laser refractive surgery not only exists its clinical advantages,but also has its limitations.It is very important to put into perspective clinical advantages and limitations of all-in-one femtosecond laser corneal refractive surgery.
2.miR-486 is a tumor suppressor in glioma stem cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(41):6633-6637
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that the expression level of miR-486 in glioma stem cels (CD133+) is significantly down-regulated compared with that in glioma non-stem cels (CD133-), but the effect of down-regulation of miR-486 on CD133+ cels remains unclear . OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of miR-486 on CD133+ cels. METHODS:CD133+ glioma stem cels and CD133- glioma cels were separated from U87 cels by flow cytometer. miR-486 overexpression glioma stem cels were constructed by lipofection transfection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After sorting and purification, the content of the CD133+ fraction was enriched up to 83.5%. The expression level of miR-468 in CD133+ glioma stem cels was obviously down-regulated compared with that in CD133- glioma cels. CD133+ glioma stem cels overexpressing miR-486 were fabricated successfuly. Results from in vitro experiments showed that miR-486 overexpression could dramaticaly decrease the proliferation of glioma stem cels, induce a cel cycle arrest in G1/S phase for CD133+ glioma stem cels and promote cel apoptosis. These findings suggest that miR-486 can be a suppressor of glioma stem cels, which offers a novel potential therapeutic target for glioma stem cels and human glioma.

Objective To investigate the relations between BNP and cTnI leveh in patients with CHF and cardiac function.Methods 75 patients with CHF were selected as observation group and another 30 healthy people were selected as control group.BNP and cTnI levels were detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and the data were analyzed.Results BNP and cTnI of observation group were significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=3.897,4.127,all P<0.05);comparison of BNP and cTnI levels in different classification of cardiac function of observation group had significant difference(F=4.765,5.876,allP<0.05);Linear corrlation analysis showed that:BNP and cTnI both positively correlated to classification of cardiac function(r=0.853,0.647,all P<0.05),BNP and cTnI increased significantly with the increase of cardiac function classification.Conclusion BNP and cTnI increased significantly in patients with CHF and closely related with cardiac function.they were ideal index to evaluate the CHF severity and had a good clinical value to judge the status and function of heart in patients with CHF.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestation and laboratory examination of chronic diarrhea in children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) and analyze the reasons that causes the chronic diarrhea in children.Methods Clinical data of 7 patients (male 4 cases,famale 3 cases)with AIDS with manifestation of chronic diarrhea among the 17 cases were diagnosed as AIDS in Beijing children′s hospital from Jan.1999 to Dec.2006.The time of diarrhea,degree of dinrrhea,characteristic of stool,accompaniment symptom,laboratory examination were retrospectively analyzed.Results The average onset age was 6 years old(from 2-9 years old).The average time of diarrhea was 6 months(from 1-16 months).Four cases main complained with chronic diarrhea,3 cases came to the hospital because of fever,cough and wasting;6 cases with diarrhea,7 cases with malnutrition and anemia,5 cases accompanied hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis,6 cases had delay in growth and development,2 cases with abnormal stool routine exam,1 case with positive stool culture of fungi.All patients were with lower CD4,5 cases with lower CD4/CD8.Conclusions Chronic diarrhea is a common symptom in children with AIDS,and usually accompanied by obvious delay in growth and development,malnutrition and anemia,the reasons that causes the chronic diarrhea are consi-dered to be related with both the opportunistic infection and HIV infection.

Objective To evaluate the safety of CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy in the elderly,and to analyze the risk factors for its complications.Methods Totally 204 elderly patients aged ≥65 years underwent transthoracic needle biopsy under CT guidance.Clinical data,complication and its risk factors were analyzed retrospectively.Results The complications included pneumothorax accounting for 15.2% (31/204),hemoptysis 21.6% (44/204),and no mortality was found.Logistic regression analysis showed that needle path ≥5.00 cm,lesion size ≤2.00 cm and emphysema around the lesion were the independent risk factors for postoperative pneumothorax (OR=4.05,2.54 and 3.97,all P<0.05).Meanwhile,the enhancement degree by CT >40 HU,needle path ≥5.00 cm and lesion size ≤2.00 cm were the independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding (OR=2.27,2.82 and 2.33,all P<0.05) in elderly patients undergoing lung biopsy.The sensitivity and specificity for postoperative pneumothorax and bleeding obtained by forecasting equation were 87.1% and 49.1%,54.5% and 80.8% respectively.Conclusions The length of needle path,lesion size and emphysema around the lesion are correlated with pneumothroax,and length of needle path,lesion size and the CT enhancement degree are correlated with bleeding after percutaneous lung biopsy in the elderly.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of Doppler flow waveform of ductus venosus (DV) in screening of fetal cardiac malformation.Methods Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to study DV flow in 240 normal fetuses and 20 fetuses with cardiac malformation that were screened out from the high-risk fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD).Results ① The normal Doppler flow waveform of the DV was a characteristic triphasic pattern with forward flow during cardiac cycle,reflecting ventricular systole (S),ventricular diastole (D) and atrial systole (A).② In the group of 20 fetuses with cardiac malformation,eight had reverse flow and nine had decreased or absent flow during atrial contraction,the indices of the DV in fetuses with cardiac malformation were higher than those in gestational age-matched normal fetuses ( P

Objective To evaluate the association between stress hyperglycemia and clinical out-comes among patients with and without diabetes mellitns admitted to medical intensive care unit (MICU).Methods We reviewed the medical ICU records of 1016 consecutive patients admitted to Wu Han Univer-sity Ren Min Hospital. According to admission glucose level, 126 patients with debates and 890 patients without known debates were divided into group 1 ( <6 mmol/L), group 2(6 ~ 8mmol/L), group 3(8 ~10mmol/L), and group 4( > 10mmol/L). The primary end point of the study was in-hospital mortality. Secondary end points included length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, the ratio of mechanical ventila-tion, blood transfusions, antibiotics and blood glucose treatment. Results The hospital mortality among patients without a history of diabetes mellitus was 4. 7%, 12. 1%, 20. 5%, 30. 3% in group 1, 2, 3, 4,respectively. The ratio of mechanical ventilation, blood transfusions, and antibiotics increased progressively as glucose values increased. Conclusions Hyperglycemia was a common disease, and it may be an impor-tant marker of poor clinical outcome and mortality in patients without history of diabetes.
