Background Congenital cataract is the major cause of blindness in children with plentiful clinical manifestations and closely linked with genetics. Objective Present study was to investigate the classification of congenital cataract in Yunnan province.Methods The manifestation characteristics of 184 eyes of 116 patients with congenital cataract in Yunnan province were analyzed.The relationship of performance of various types of congenital cataract between phenotype and hereditary feature were explored. Results All of the 116 congenital cataract eyes from 116 patients were divided into ten types based on the clinical appearance,including the complete cataract,nuclear cataract,posterior polar cataract,anterior polar cataract,coralliform cataract,coronary cataract,pulverulent cataracts,lamellar cataract and blue cataract.Bilateral nuclear cataract and unilateral entire cataract is most prevalent in these patients.Blue cataract and coralliform cataract belong to the less types.Forty-four in 116 cases were found to have the hereditary history and determined as autosomal dominant inheritance.Sporadic cases were determined in 72 cases.Conclusions The analysis of phenotype of the hereditary congenital cataract offers some clues to the classification of congenital cataract.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of the anti-podocyte antibody in the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy(MN).Methods Thirty-six frozen section slice from biopsies of normal kidney were randomly divided into 3 groups:A,B and C groups(n=12,respectively),then,serum of MN and IgA nephropothy patients,and normal saline were added by drops to frozen section respectively,then the changes were observed by fluorescence microscope.Twenty-one male New Zealand white rabbits were feed with standard diet for 1 week,then were randomly divided into 3 groups:D,E,F groups (n=7,respectively),and injected with the serum of MN and IgA nephropathy,and normal saline respectively through ear-border vein.24-h urinary protein, serumalbumin, serumcreatinineweredetected. Atweek8afterinjection, the histopathological changes in kidney tissue of rabbits were observed by light microscope,electron microscope and immunofluorescence staining. Results Immunofluorescenee staining displayed IgG deposition in glomerular podocytes in group A,and there was no positive expression in other two groups.The quantitative measurement of 24-h urinary protein increased significantly after injection of MN serum (P＜0.01),meanwhile the serum albumin markedly decreased (P＜0.01).The inmnunofluorescence staining showed that IgG deposited in the glomerulus capillaries wall,which presented spherical particles.Light microscope revealed the thickening of GBM without nailing process formation.Electron microscope showed the podocyte foot processes,subepithelial dense deposits.Such pathological changes were not found in E group and F group.Conclusion There is anti-podocyte antibody in blood of MN patients,which may play a role in the pathogenesis of MN.

Background Certain relationship has been found between phenotype and genes mutation of congenital cataract.It is clear that different genetic mutations can cause the same complication in congenital cataract,meanwhile,different complications may be caused by the same gene mutation.However,their mechanism is still remained unclear.Objective This study was to observe the phenotype of congenital cataract accompanied with iris dysplasia.Methods Fifteen patients with congenital cataract accompanied with iris dysplasia were included in this study.The slit lamp,gonioscope and ophthalmoscope were used for the examination of the anterior ocular segment,the anterior chamber angle and fundus on all the patients.This study was approved by the Ethic Committee of Second People' s Hospital of Yunnan Province.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient or the custodian prior to any medical procedure.Results All the patients showed binocular involvement.Congenital nuclear cataract with whole coloboma of iris was seen in 7 cases,and 2 cases showed an entire cataract associated with incomplete coloboma of iris.Entire cataract with aniridia was diagnosed in 5 patients,and suture cataract complicated with aniridia was in 1 patient.Conclusions Some regular patterns can be implied between the morphological type of cataract and iris dysplasia,which may be helpful for further study of these diseases.

Objective To study the effects of high matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP 9 ) on the biological behaviors of fibroblasts,in order to clarify the possible mechanisms in the wound healing of diabetic foot.Methods Establish the cell model of skin fibroblast with high expression of MMP 9 by high glucose (22.0 mmol/L) and high homocysteine (100 μmol/L) co-culture.Control group was incubated with normal glucose (5.5 mmol/L).Realtime PCR,ELISA and gelatin zymography were used to detect the MMP 9 mRNA,protein expression and activity of MMP 9.Flow cytometry,CCK-8,ELISA assay,scratch test and transwell were used to detect cell proliferation,viability,collagen (hydroxyproline) secretion,horizontal migration and vertical migration of cells.Results Data were expressed as (x- ± s).Differences were considered significant if their P value was ＜ 0.05.Results The expression of MMP 9 mRNA,protein levels and the activity of MMP 9 in high MMP 9 group were 6.05 folds,4.12 folds and 1.58 folds higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01,respectively).The proportion of S phase cells,proliferation index,cell viability,collagen (hydroxyproline) secretion,6 h horizontal migration rate and the number of vertical migration cells in high MMP9 group decreased by 29.8 ％,18.1％,23.3 ％,68.7 ％,45.0 ％ and 21.4 ％ than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01,respectively ). Conclusions Fibroblast with high expression of MMP 9 have decreased proliferation,activity,collagen secretion and reduced migration,which suggests that MMP 9 may inhibit the biological behaviors of fibroblasts.

Objective To evaluate the strictness and self-consistency of the charge nurses in the nurses examination using venipunctnre trocar operation as research object.Methods FACETS,the polyhedral Rasch software was used in the examination.Results The strictness and self-consistency of charge nurses were evidently different.Conclusions The variable strictness and self-consistency of the charge nurses in the examination leads to unreliability of the results.Developing a scientific and reliable evaluation system is essential to improve the ability of the teaching nurses and the student nurses as well as the hospital nursing quality.

Objective To explore the efficacy of low tidal volume ventilation strategy in children with acute hypoxia respiratory failure (AHRF).Methods A total of 79 hospitalized children with AHRF from Aug 2006 to Jul 2011 in PICU of Kunming Children's Hospital were enrolled in this study.The observation group in-cluded 55 children who received low tidal volume ventilation strategy (6-8 ml /kg),while the other 24 children (control group)were given traditional mechanical ventilation (10-12 ml /kg).Oxygenation situations such as PaO2 ,PaCO2 ,PaO2 /FiO2 ,oxygen index and blood gas pH value,organ function,mechanical ventilation complica-tions,hospitalization days and expenses in PICU and the mortality were observed.Results (1)PaO2 ,PaO2 /FiO2 and oxygen index in the observation group were better than those in control group after 24 h mechanical ventilation [(68.51 ±7.53)mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa)vs.(61.64 ±9.28)mmHg,(162.9 ±21.84)mmHg vs.(152.1 ± 19.03)mmHg,and 18.85 ±4.1 vs.26.53 ±5.2,respectively],and there were significant differences between two groups (P ﹤0.05);and there were also significant differences between two groups in the results after 48 h and 72 h mechanical ventilation.(2)The PaCO2 was (47.48 ±10.52)mmHg after 24 h in observation group,while the PaCO2 in control group was (30.17 ±6.59)mmHg,and it suggested excessive ventilation.(3)Mechanical venti-lation time (7.6 ±3.1)d and hospitalization days (12.8 ±3.6)d were shorter in observation group(P ﹤0.01). Barotrauma (7.3%)and mortality (20.0%)in observation group was significantly lower than those in control group (29.2%,41.6%;P ﹤0.01).The number of damaged organs in observation group was lower than that in control group (P ﹤0.05).Conclusion Low tidal volume ventilation with appropriate positive end expiratory pressure could improve oxygenation,prevent alveolar collapse,reduce complications and mortality for children with AHRF,it should be applied for the treatment of children with AHRF.
