Objective:To observe the changes in the anterior chamber before and after cataract surgery by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma. Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy was used for anterior chamber imaging in 78 eyes of 50 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma before and 1 month after cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. And the intraocular pressures were recorded at the same time. Results: UBM allowed the imaging of the entire anterior eye segment. In the images, the differences between iris thickness (IT), iris zonule distance (IZD) and iris lens angle (?2) before and after the operation were statistically insignificant. After the operation, marked increases were observed in the anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle opening distance at 500 ?m from the scleral spur (AOD500), trabecular iris angle (?1) and trabecular ciliary process distance (TCPD), with statistically very significant differences from preoperation (P

Objective To determine the correlation between intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters and both histologic inflammatory and fibrotic grades of Crohn disease (CD) in adults. Methods Prospectively, 17 patients (77 lesions) with a clinical and pathological diagnosis of CD in the first affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university from July 2015 to June 2016 underwent MRE 15 days before surgery. All patients underwent T2WI, IVIM and enhanced MRI and calculated IVIM parameters include diffusion-related coefficient (D), perfusion-related coefficient (D*) and perfusion-related fraction (f). Histological intestinal inflammation and fibrosis was scored using the surgical histopathology as reference standard and further divided into mild-moderate (score 1 to 2) and severe (score 3 to 4) groups. Intestinal microvessel density (MVD) were also analyzed. Differences in IVIM parameters among different histological inflammation and fibrosis grades were assessed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Wilcoxon test was used for assessing differences in f between mild-moderate and severe fibrosis. The bivariate correlations between IVIM parameters and histological inflammation and fibrosis grades were analyzed using partial correlation . The bivariate correlations between IVIM parameters and MVD were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation. The areas under the receiver operating characteristics curves (AUROC) were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy for distinguishing severe from mild-moderate fibrosis. Results Of 77 surgical specimens, there were 41 mild-moderate and 36 severe inflammatory bowel segments, along with 22 mild-moderate and 55 severe fibrotic bowel segments. Positive correlation was shown between histologic inflammatory and fibrotic scores (r=0.592, P<0.01). MVD (42.7 ± 39.9)/HP presented weak positive correlation with histologic inflammatory scores (r=0.332, P=0.003) while no correlation with histologic fibrotic scores (r=0.129, P=0.262) was presented. Neither the D nor the D* values significantly correlated with histologic inflammation or fibrosis (P>0.05) while the f value significantly correlated with both histologic inflammation and fibrosis (P<0.05). Significant correlation was present between the f value and histologic inflammatory and fibrotic scores, respectively (r=-0.280, -0.520;P<0.05). There was significant difference in the f value between mild-moderate and severe fibrosis(Z=-5.255,P<0.01). The AUROC for the f value to distinguish between patients with mild-moderate fibrosis and severe fibrosis were 0.885. Using a threshold fractional perfusion of 0.33, the sensitivity and specificity values were 95.5% and 81.8%, respectively. No correlation between f, D and D*value with histologic fibrotic scores (r=0.129, P=0.262) was presented. Conclusion The f value derived from IVIM could help to evaluate the severity of intestinal inflammation and fibrosis CD in adults.

Background/Aims:
Binge drinking leads to many disorders, including alcoholic hepatosteatosis, which is characterized by intrahepatic neutrophil infiltration and increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Molecular mechanisms may involve the migration of bacterial metabolites from the gut to the liver and the activation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).
Methods:
Serum samples from both binge drinking and alcohol-avoiding patients were analyzed. Mouse models of chronic plus binge alcohol-induced hepatosteatosis and HCC models were used.
Results:
A marker of NETs formation, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), was significantly higher in alcoholic hepatosteatosis and HCC patients and mice than in controls. Intrahepatic inflammation markers and HCC-related cytokines were decreased in mice with reduced NET formation due to neutrophil elastase (NE) deletion, and liver-related symptoms of alcohol were also alleviated in NE knockout mice. Removal of intestinal bacteria with antibiotics led to decreases in markers of NETs formation and inflammatory cytokines upon chronic alcohol consumption, and development of alcoholic hepatosteatosis and HCC was also attenuated. These functions were restored upon supplementation with the bacterial product LPS. When mice lacking toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) received chronic alcohol feeding, intrahepatic markers of NETs formation decreased, and hepatosteatosis and HCC were alleviated.
Conclusions
Formation of NETs following LPS stimulation of TLR4 upon chronic alcohol use leads to increased alcoholic steatosis and subsequent HCC.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the relationship between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome in adults in order to set up programs on prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome in this population.Methods:Relevant studies were identified by systematically searching databases before October 2019. All statistical analyses were under the use of Stata 11.0.Results:A total of 656 319 participants including 150 638 cases with metabolic syndrome were involved in thes 38 articles. A U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome was noticed. For short and long sleep duration, the OR=1.11 (95% CI: 1.07-1.16) and 1.10 (95% CI: 1.03-1.18), respectively. Subgroup analyses on cross-sectional studies revealed that factors as men, aged under 60 years, being Asians or Caucasians would increase the risk of metabolic syndrome by 6%, 14%, 9%, and 24%, respectively for those with short sleep duration. Factors as aged 60 years and above, being black and with long sleep duration, would increase the risks of metabolic syndrome by 13% and 19%, respectively in women. In subgroup analyses on cohort studies, positive correlation between short sleep duration and metabolic syndrome was observed in both Asian ( RR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.07-1.13) and in Caucasians ( RR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.08-2.26) populations. Conclusions:Results of this study revealed an association between metabolic syndrome and the duration of sleep. We understand that sleep is a behavior that can be changed step by step, through adequate intervention programs, to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome which has become an important public health issue.
