Background Takayasu arteritis is a non specificity inflammation of aorta and its branch.The incidence of Takayasu arteritis is low and its ocular secondary disease is rare.The correct diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis is very important for its early treatment in clinic.Objective This study is to analyze the fundus findings and characteristic of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) of Takayasu retinopathy.Methods The FFA and clinical data of 12 patients (24 eyes) with Takayasu arteritis were retrospectively reviewed.Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients before and initiation of any study protocol.Results In 12 patients,chronic ischemic retinopathy was found in 15 eyes of 9 patients.The arm to retina circulation time(A RCT) prolonged to (19.20±2.95) s in 5 eyes,and the retinal circulation time (RCT) delayed to 10.62±6.15 s in 5 eyes.Peripapillary arteriovenous anastomosis was found in 2 eyes of 2 patients.Macular arch ring was incomplete in 6 eyes of 4 patients.Eight patients (14 eyes) had telangiectasis and microaneurysm,and 2 eyes of 2 patients presented neovascularization on the disc or elsewhere.In 12 patients,hypertensive retinopathy was found in 4 eyes of 3 patients,showing narrow retinal artery,arteriosclerosis,hemorrhage,cotton wool spots and hard exudates.Ten patients were diagnosed as Takayasu arteritis before FFA examination,and 2 patients were determinedly diagnosed after FFA was performed.Conclusion The main features of Takayasu retinopathy are hypertensive retinopathy and chronic ischemic retinopathy.It is important for ophthalmologist to correctly recognize the clinical features of TA.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, with the continuously improving of the fixation systems and technology, conducting anterior cervical decompression bone graft accompanying with anterior plate fixation have been accepted by most scholars, however, the complications related to this also appeared constantly. In view of this, the zero notch interbody fusion plate (Zero-P) has been approved for the clinical treatment of cervical degenerative disease. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the early application effect of Zero-p on anterior cervical decompression and fusion. METHODS:The study enrol ed 22 patients who underwent anterior cervical decompression and fusion with Zero-P between February and December 2014. The number of Zero-P implanted in the C3-4, C4-5, C5-6 was 1, 3 and 18 respectively. Pain and neurological improvement were evaluated using Visual Analog Scales score and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score for al the patients after operation. The X-ray plain of lateral and flexion-extension lateral of cervical vertebra were shot. The degradation degree was judged based on the measurement results from the cervical lateral X-ray films about the ratio of cephalad and caudal adjacent intervertebral space to vertebral body height, and adjacent segments osteoarthritis situation. The abnormal activity at the surgical spaces was observed by the extension and flexion lateral X-ray plain. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twenty-two patients obtained fol ow up for 10-28 months. 2 patients had dysphagia on the fourth day and the fifth day after operation (extremely mild). The symptom disappeared within 2 weeks after treatment. The Visual Analog Scales score was significantly lower compared with preoperation (P<0.05), the JOA score was significantly higher than that before operation (P<0.05) , the cervical Cobb angle was significantly higher than that before operation (P<0.05). There were no significant differences statistical y in comparison of the Visual Analog Scales score, JOA score and cervical Cobb angle at different time points after operation (P>0.05). In cephalad adjacent intervertebral space, 3 cases had developed hyperosteogeny (first level). In caudal adjacent intervertebral space, 1 had developed hyperosteogeny (first level). There was no significant difference in the hyperosteogeny between cephalad adjacent intervertebral space and caudal adjacent intervertebral space (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the R value in cephalad adjacent intervertebral space and caudal adjacent intervertebral space between preoperation and postoperation (P>0.05). During the fol ow-up, no abnormal activity at the surgical spaces and implant displacement was observed. These results suggest that using Zero-p in the treatment of monosegmental disc disease has significant effect, can effectively improve the cervical curvature and establish good cervical stability. The incidence of postoperative dysphagia is low. The degeneration of adjacent segments after treatment was not increased in early stage.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis and anticoagulant therapy for post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) in middle-aged and elderly patients.Methods Totally 45 patients with post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism in our hospital were selected.Patients were divided into thrombolysis group (n =22) and anticoagulation group (n=23) according to their conditions.Symptoms and signs,blood gas analysis,D-dimer,echocardiography,CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were performed before and after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy.Results There were no significant differences in clinical curative rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [95.5％ (21/22) vs.91.3％ (21/23),x2 =0.32,P＞0.05],and no case was found dead in both two groups.There was a significant difference in hemorrhage rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [27.3％ vs.4.3％,x2 =4.53,P ＜ 0.05].At 24 hours after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy,the improvement rate of dyspnea,PaO2 level was significantly higher and the pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly lower in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group [45.5％ (10/22) vs.17.4％ (4/23),(80.4±8.1) mm Hg vs.(73.6±9.3) mm Hg,(51.2±6.2) mm Hgvs.(60.3±5.7) mm Hg,respectively,all P＜0.05],and there were no statistical significances at other time points between the two groups.Conclusions The clinical curative rate and fatality rate are similar in thrombolysis group versus anticoagulation group.Hemorrhage rate is higher in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group.Thrombolysis can relieve dyspnea rapidly,reduce pulmonary artery pressure and make the embolized blood vessels recanalized.Patients with low bleeding risk in a critical condition are suggested to take thrombolysis therapy,while patients with high bleeding risk in a light condition are suggested to take anticoagulant therapy.

Objective To investigate the methods and results of hand reconstruction by transplanting the fostered residual finger and the second toe,which share the same blood supply system.Methods From January,2014 to January,2016,3 cases with destructive hand injuries in our hospital;and debridement was performed in one session during the early stage of trauma,with skin grafting to cover the wrist stump and foster the residual finger to a branch of the dorsalis pedis artery.The first dorsal metatarsal artery around the toe web was identified and then gradually isolated proximally with dissection of the branches of the dorsalis pedis artery supplying the fostered finger until the convergence of the two blood vessels.Then,reconstructed hand by residual finger and combined second toe transplantation.Results After a follow-up period of 3 months to 2 years,the reconstructed hand had a good appearance and was able to complete basic mundane actions.The function of the limb was restored to a large extent andthe patient was satisfied with the reconstructed hand.Conclusion Transfer of a fostered residual finger and combined second toe which have the same blood supply system for hand reconstruction as a new method need to anastomose only one set of arteries,and it is feasible with the good appearance and function of the reconstructed hand.

Objective:To optimize the forming process of Luomai granules. Methods: With the qualified granule yield and the moisture absorption as the indicators, the excipients were screened, and through the study of granulation effect, the proportion of excip-ients was optimized. With the normalized value of qualified granule yield, solubility, hygroscopicity and sensory evaluation as the eval-uation indices, and excipients times, ethanol concentration and amount of citric acid as the main influencing factors with five levels for each, the forming process of Luomai granules was optimized by central combination design-response surface methodology. Results:The option formula for Luomai granules was the follows:the excipients amount was 5-fold of the extract, 85% ethanol was used as the wet-ting agent, and citric acid content was 0. 3%. Conclusion:Optimized by the central combination design-response surface method, Lu-omai granules has such advantages as high qualified yield, low hygroscopicity, good solubility, soft taste and appropriate dosage, sug-gesting the optimized preparation process of Luomai granules is reasonable and feasible.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of anatomic locking compression plate augmented with anchor nail versus calvicular hook plate in the treatmeut of Neer type Ⅱb distal calvicular fractures.Methods The data of 65 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had undergone surgery in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2015 for Neer type Ⅱb distal calvicular fractures.They were 39 men and 26 women,aged from 18 to 58 years(average,42.6 years).Open reduction plus anatonical locking compression plating augmented with anchor nailing was performed in 33 patients (group A) and open reduction plus calvicular hook plating was conducted in 32 (group B).The internal fixation was removed oue year after surgery in all.Constant Scale was used to evaluate shoulder function at 1,3 and 6 months postoperatively.X-ray examination on the shoulder was also conducted to observe fracture healing.Complications and percentage of the patients who resumed their job 3 months postoperatively were documented.Results The 2 groups were comparable because they showed no significant differences in general clinical information preoperatively (P ＞ 0.05).All the 65 patients were followed up tor 12 to 18 months (average,15.2 months).The fracture clinical healing time in group A (23.9 ± 2.3 weeks) was significantly shorter than in group B (26.1 ± 3.0 weeks) (P ＜ 0.05).The mean Constant-Murley scores at 1,3,6 months and the last follow-up postoperatively in group A (91.2 ±3.6,95.2 ±2.4,96.1 ±5.1 and 97.3 ± 1.6) were significantly higher thau those in group B (89.2 ± 6.1,91.1 ± 1.1,91.2 ± 6.2 and 92.1 ± 3.1) (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of total complications in group A (6.1％,2/33) was significantly lower than in group B (25.0％,8/32) (P ＜ 0.05).At postoperative 3 months,31 patients (93.9％) in group A resumed their job while 23 (71.9％) ones did in group B,showing a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions For Neer lⅡb distal calvicular fractures,anatomical locking compression plate augmented with anchor nail is obviously superior to calvicular hook plate,because the former can avoid damage to the soft tissue surrounding the acromion,leading to satisfactory functional recovery of the affected shoulder.
