It's significant for the patients to be detected and treated early, therefore they will have better vision and longer life. The treatments of choroidal metastasis are developing quickly. Both the vitreous cavity injection of targeted drug and gene therapy are hot topics of research. This paper summarizes the etiology, development, diagnosis and treatment of choroidal metastasis nowadays.

Objective To determine the appropriate collecting -time of Exocarpium citri grandis,the chemical compo-sition in Exocarpium citri grandis in different fruit -ages was compare d and analyzed.Methods Contents of naringein and bergapten were compared by TLC an d the total dihydroflavones in Exocarpium citri grandis was determined by spec-trophotometmic analysis with detection wavelength at 384nm.Results With the increase of fruit -age,the c ontents of naringein and total dihydroflavones in Exocarpium citri grandis decreased and the content of bergapt en increased.Con-clusion Fruit -age has an obviously effect on the chemical composition in Exocarpium citri grandis and collecting -time can influence the quality of medicin e materials.Further studies of Exocarpium citri grandis should be combined pharma-codynamics for fixing collecting -t ime.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the root diameter of Angelica sinensis and its early bolting rate, and to decrease the bolting rate. Methods The seedling transplanting of A. sinensis with various root diameters was used to study the bolting rate and yield. Results Bolting plants can be observed in the field at June and the period from June to July is the bolting heyday. The bolting rate was the highest, up to 94.65%, in the treatment of root diameter ≥ 0.86 cm. However, it was only 1.63% in the treatment of root diameter ≤ 0.35 cm on Oct. 2nd. In the treatment of root diameter ≤ 0.35 cm, the seedling rate was only 33.62%, while in the treatment of root diameter ≥ 0.86 cm, the seedling rate was the highest, up to 95.75%, but the harvest seedling number was only 6 395 plant/hm2. In the treatment of root diameter of 0.46—0.55 cm, the harvest seedling number was 68 398 plant/hm2, which was significantly higher than other treatments. The highest yield appeared in the treatment of root diameter in 0.46—0.55 cm of transplanting seedling, the fresh and dry yields of A. sinensis were 5 717.58 kg/hm2 and 1 554.98 kg/hm2, respectively. Conclusion The seedlings with root diameter in the range of 0.46—0.65 cm should be selected to transplant in practice.

Objective To study effects of hepatic microcirculation and hepatic function using low dose HSS40 preoperation on the partial hepatectomy patients.Methods Sixty-five partial hepatectomy patients were randomly divided into study group (32 cases with HSS40,4 mL/kg,in 30 min) and control group (33 cases with RL,4 mL/kg,in 30 min).Patients of two groups were monitored in liver microcirculation,hepatic function parameters at different times before and after the infusion.Results Compared with the study group,the control group were more infusion (2400 ± 1650) mL and blood transfusion (550 ± 190) mL,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜0.05).Control group of nitric oxide (NO) T3 time(17.84 ± 6.26) μmol/L in the preexpansion compared with preoperative T0 time(38.06 ± 9.34) μmol/L and the study groupT3 time (36.37 ± 9.15) μmol/L was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),and endothelin (ET) (T3 time 185.16 ± 41.34 pg/mL) was significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05),and the study group(T3 time 99.75 ± 30.31 pg/mL) than the control group variation amplitude,time later,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) ; Control group ALT,AST,DBLI,TBLI rise after preexpansion (P ＜ 0.05),and significantly higher than the study group (P ＜ 0.01),and the study group than the control group variation amplitude,time later,differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) ; while no significant changes in the concentration ALB two groups,the difference was not statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Using low dose HSS40 preoperation on the partial hepatectomy patients can improve cardiovascular stability,protective effect on ischemia-reperfusion injury of liver,can increase the tissue perfusion,and improve the hepatic microcirculation,better able to maintain the stability of the liver function.
