Ocular Beh(c)et disease,which usually presents as panuveitis,with characteristic of vision impairment and relapse,is one of the most refractory uveitis entities.Usually,one or more conventional immunosuppressive agents,such as glucocorticoid,ciclosporin,chlorambucil,cyclophosphamide,etc,are needed in disease management.However,long-term use of immunosuppressive agents would result in severe adverse effects.New biologics,such as interferon,antitumor necrosis factor agents,interleukin or its receptor antagonists,provide new therapeutic approaches to the treatment for this disease.This paper reviewed the conventional therapies and biologics applied in ocular Beh(c)et disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of long-term consumption of Fallopia multiflora on mouse hematopoietic system.Methods Forty 10-month old female C57BL/6J mice were equally divided into two groups at random, the control group fed with normal food , and the experimental group , given food with added Fallopia multiflora. After 10 month, the mice were sacrificed, and the peripheral blood, spleen, thymus and bone marrow cells were examined by flow cytometry.Results In the mice fed with Fallopia multiflora, the percentage of B cells in the spleen and CD 4 +cells in the thymus were increased , and CD8 + cells in the thymus and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells were decreased , among the bone marrow cells , G0 cells were increased , but G1 and G2/S/M cells decreased .Conclusions Long-term proper consumption of Fallopia multiflora can delay the ageing of the hematopoietic system , and sustain its stability.

AIM: To observe the effect of L arginine on blood pressure (BP) in stress rats. METHODS: Thirty rats were divided into three groups. L ARG+stress group: L arginine was added in drinking water and electric stimulus were given intermittently in rat foot plate for 15 days; stress group: electric stimulus was given as above; control group: no stress. The BP levels of tail artery were measured per two days, and the concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) of plasma were detected on 15th day. RESULTS: There were significantly differences on BP between control group and stress group in the 9th,11th,13th,15th day(P

Objective To determine the clinical manifestation,pathologic behavior,therapy and related factors of rare aggressive fibromatosis.Methods Canceration from aggressive fibromatosis to fibrosarcoma in one case of aggressive fibromatosis was analyzed and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results Aggressive fibromatosis was a benign or semimaligrant,non-metastatic proliferations of fibrous tissue that infiltrated surrounding tissues and tended to recur after surgical resection.Pathology showed fibroblastic monoconal proliferation between the cellular center and the collagen periphery.Electron microscope showed an abundant collagen network enclosing a pelymorphous cellular proliferation.Immunohistochemistry defined vimentin and actin positive desmoid tumors.Complete surgical excision was a chief treatment.Several operations were needed in most cases.Recurrence rates may be as high as 10%～70%.Chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be used together with surgery in recurrence or unsatisfactory surgical margin.The disease recurred after operation and one radiation therapy,reoperation and pathology showed fibrosarcoma.Conclusion Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare benign,non-metastatic proliferation tumour of fibrous tissue with a tendency of local recurrent after surgical resection.The cornerstone of therapy is surgery.Radiation therapy and chemotherapy can be used as adjuvant therapy.It is scarce that aggressive fibromatosis cancerates to fibrosarcoma.Maybe surgical stimulus and radiation therapy are the main factors to promote it to cancerate.

Objective: To observe the effects of pentazocine on emergence agitation.Methods: Totally 60 patients with scheduled upper limb operation with general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups (n =30).Group Ⅰ was given pentazocine 0.25 mg·kg-1 (diluted to 10ml) and group Ⅱ was treated with 0.9% sodium chloride (10 ml) and both were with slow intravenous injection above 3 min before the surgical stitching.BP and HR were recorded and compared before the induction (T 0), before the extubation (T 1) ,at the extubation (T 2), and 5, 10 and in 15 minutes after the extubation (T 3 , T 4 and T 5).The time of recovery, time of extubation and agitation scores in 15 min after the extubation were recorded and compared, and nausea and vomiting were observed as well in both groups.Results: Compared with those in group Ⅰ, HR and BP in group Ⅱ were significantly higher (P＜0.05) at T 3 , T 4 and T 5.There were no significant differences in the breathing recovery time and awakening time between the groups (P＞0.05).The restlessness score in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in groupⅡ (P＜0.05).The incidence and degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting in groupⅠ were significantly higher than those in group Ⅱ (P＜0.05).Conclusion: Pentazocine (0.25 mg·kg-1) given before stitching can maintain stable circulation, reduce emergence agitation and protect the safety of patients.

Objective: To explore levels of salivary IgA, lysozyme, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and total proteins in unstimulated (UWS) and stimulated (SWS) whole saliva of caries-free children. Methods: 94 caries-free children, aged from 42 to 54 months, were recruited from urban kindergartens in Beijing. 2 ml UWS and 2 ml SWS were collected from each child to measure salivary IgA, lysozyme, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and total proteins. Results:1) There were no differences in salivary proteins between boys and girls in both UWS and SWS, except total proteins. In UWS, the concentration of total proteins in girls was lower than that in boys (P0.05). 2) The concentration of IgA in SWS was significantly lower than that in UWS (P0.05). Conclusion:In 3-to 4-year old children, the protein composition in stimulated whole saliva is different from that in unstimulated whole saliva, and it is also different between genders. Therefore, it is more reliable to measure salivary proteins in both UWS and SWS when studying saliva of children.

Objective To study the regulation among the content of L-borneol and four endogenous hormones and the activity of three anti-oxidant enzymes in Blumea balsamifera leaves located at different leaf positions and the concentration of inducer and the sampling time. Methods Methyle Jasmonate (MeJA) of 0.01 mmol/L, 0.10 mmol/L, 1.00 mmol/L, and 10.00 mmol/L was chosen for exogenous inducer in this experiment. The leaves of B. balsamifera located at different leaf positions (tender leaves, mature leaves, aged leaves) were experimental materials. The active content of L-borneol, the content of four endogenous hormones of auxin (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellic acid (GA3), and zeatin (ZT), and the activity of three antioxidant enzymes of peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detection indexes. Results The results showed that the effect of 1.00 mmol/L MeJA on the accumulation of L-borneol was good. The changes of anti-oxidant enzymes induced by different concentrations of MeJA were complex. For the content of POD, except that the B. balsamifera leaves treated with 10.00 mmol/L MeJA were lower than that in the control, POD were significantly higher than those of the control (P < 0.05) at 72 h in other conditions. Under the induction of 10.00 mmol/L MeJA, the CAT content of the B. balsamifera leaves at three leaf positions was highest at 24 h, and the activity of CAT was decreased rapidly over time. Under the MeJA treatments of other concentrations, the activities of CAT in young leaves and old leaves were significantly lower than those in the control at 72 h, but higher than those in the control at 72 h except for the treatment of 0.1 mmol/L MeJA in mature leaves. The content of SOD in the three leaf positions was lower than the control except that the B. balsamifera leaves treated with 1 mmol/L MeJA was significantly higher than that of the control after 48 h. The rest of the concentration of superoxide dismutase were lower than the control. Low concentration of MeJA (≤ 0.10 mmol/L) could promote the accumulation of IAA, GA3, and ZT in leaves of B. balsamifera, whereas the high concentration of MeJA (≥ 10.00 mmol/L) could promote the accumulation of ABA. Conclusion Under the induction of exogenous MeJA (1.00 mmol/L), B. balsamifera can promote the accumulation of active ingredients, providing a theoretical basis for its cultivation and production.

Objective To assess the vision-related quality of life(VRQL) in patients with age-related maculopathy (AMD) and the related factors in Shanghai. Methods The VRQL of 105 patiens with AMD and 105 without (the control group) in Shanghai was investigated via Chinese-version low vision quality of life questionnaire. Resutls The Cronbach ? coefficient of the questionnaire is 0.97 in the patients with AMD, whose scores of the various quality of life were significantly lower than those in the control group. The more the exudative defect happened, or the longer the disease course developed, the lower the sccores were. All the scores of the scales and the total questionnaire were significantly related to the better or worse monocular visual acuity. The better monocular visual acuity was the first independent risk factor affecting all aspects of VRQL in pateints with AMD. Conclusions Decreased visual acutiy may gradually impair the VRQL in patients with AMD. Chinese-version questionnaire of low vision quality of life can provide the general information of the VRQL in patients with AMD.
