AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab with mitomycin ( MMC ) in augmenting trabeculectomy for glaucoma.
METHODS: Databases including PubMed, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were electronically searched for all randomized controlled trials ( RCTs) about comparing the efficacy and safety between bevacizumab and MMC in augmenting trabeculectomy for glaucoma before the date of Jun. 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and evaluated the included studies. Then, Meta-analysis was performed.
RESULTS: A total 4 RCT involving 286 eyes ( 143 for bevacizumab group, 143 for MMC group) were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference between bevacizumab and MMC in the last follow-up after surgery in IOP (WMD=2. 21, 95%CI: -0.17 to 4.58, P=0.07), complete success rate (OR=0. 69, 95%CI:0. 26 to 1. 81, P=0. 45) and the numbers of anti-glaucoma medicine ( OR= 0. 12, 95%CI: -0. 15 to 0.39,P=0. 39). And there was no significant difference between bevacizumab and MMC in postoperative complications:hypotony (OR=0.7, 95%CI:0.12 to 4.05, P=0.69), bleb leak (OR=1, 95%CI: 0. 21 to 4. 74,P=1), encapsulated bleb (OR=1. 15, 95%CI: 0. 38 to 3. 44, P=0.81), choroidal detachment (OR=1. 22, 95%CI: 0. 29 to 5.22, P=0. 78) and cataract (OR=1. 15, 95%CI: 0. 38 to 3.44, P=0. 81).
CONCLUSION: Bevacizumab and MMC in augmenting trabeculectomy for glaucoma have similar efficacy and safety. Bevacizumab can't result in better outcome in term of IOP reduction. Clinicians should choose suitable solution according to disease characteristics.

Objective To explore the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor(FGFR)inhibitor BGJ398 on the vasculogenic mimicry(VM)formation of glioma cells. Methods The phosphor-FGFR(pFGFR)was de-tected by Western blot,the expressions of MMP2 and MMP14 were detected by Western blot and immunocytochem-istry;the VM formation of U87MG and U251MG was tested by tube formation assay;subcutaneously implanted tu-mor model in nude mouse was established and tumor sections were CD34/PAS double-stained to detect the forma-tion of VM in vivo. Results Western blot showed that pFGFR in the experimental groups decreased significantly (P < 0.05);western blot and immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of MMP2 and MMP14 in the experimental groups decreased significantly compared to the control group. In the tube formation assay ,the tube formation of U87MG and U251MG cells were restrained. In the subcutaneously implanted tumor model ,the VM number of the experimental group(13.85 ± 3.96)was significantly lower than that in the control group(26.40 ± 5.06,P < 0.05). Conclusions In vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that BGJ398 can inhibit the activa-tion of FGFR,and inhibit the VM formation of glioma cells. These indicate FGFR signaling pathway is involved in the formation of VM.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among the old people in Chongqing, China. Methods From October to November, 2015, 1850 persons more than 60-year-old in Chongqing were cluster sampled. They were investigated with self-made general situation questionnaire, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Instrumental Activity of Daily Living Scale (IADL) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) through face-to-face interview. Enumeration data were tested withχ2 test and multiple Logistic regression. Results MCI prevalence was 11.73%in the old people in Chongqing, and various with the residential re-gions, ages, marital status, literacy, career, smoking, drinking, seafood-eating, egg-eating, exercising, intensive labor, low intensity of labor, housework, outdoor activities, Mahjong/chess/cards playing, TV-watching/radio-listening/newspaper-reading, social activities, obesity, hy-pertension, diabetes, stroke, hyperglycemia, cerebrovascular insufficiency and depression (χ2>4.092, P<0.05). According to multiple Logis-tic regression, living in rural areas, aging, celibacy, obesity, hypertension and depression were the risk factors of MCI;while middle school and above years of schooling, mental workers, smoking cessation, frequent seafood-eating and egg-eating, exercising, daily intensive labor and low intensity of labor, daily and sometimes housework, daily and weekly outdoor activities at least once, daily Mahjong/chess/cards playing and daily TV-watching/radio-listening/newspaper-reading were the preventing factors. Conclusion The morbidity of MCI is high in the old people in Chongqing. It is necessary to take effective intervention in view of the related factors of MCI as early as possible, to delay or prevent the development of MCI to dementia.
