Preciseness of intraocular pressure measurement should be emphasized because intraocular pressure is the most important clinical index, which is the easiest one to control as well in glaucoma management. Ocular hypertension and glaucoma including primary open angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma and chronic angle closure glaucoma have their own clinical characters and special relationships with intraocular pressure respectively. In this article, on the basis of intraocular pressure, the recent important multicentre clinical research of the world is reviewed and clinical diagnosis and management in ocular hypertension and several common types of glaucoma are discussed.

Although the filtering surgery for glaucoma is the most effective therapy of lowering intraocular pressure,it has risks and complications.To bring its superiority into full play and avoid the risks and complications,we should recognize correctly the type of glaucoma and know accurately the patient's condition.In this article,we discussed the appropriate timing for surgery and other factors that could affect the surgical decisions for patients with primary glaucoma.

Objective To compare the effect of postoperative single or twin-tube suction drainage after breast cancer surgery.Methods This study was a retrospective review of 148 patients undergoing surgical treatment using the silica gel pipe joint negative pressure ball drainage for breast cancer from February 2013 to December 2014.The twin-tube group was with 88 patients and single-tube group was with 60 patients,and the effect was compared between two groups.Results The incidence of seroma was 18.3％(11/60) and 15.9％(14/ 88) in single-tube group and twin-tube group.The seroma puncture frequency,total drainage volume were (7.48±2.85) times,(300.25±112.37) ml in single-tube group and (4.99±1.89) times,(500.73±96.68) ml in twintube group,and there were significant differences (t=6.097,8.321,P=0.013,0.046).There were no significant differences in drainage time,hospital stay and effusion quantity between two groups(t=1.239,2.018,2.098,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions It suggests that single tube could be use postoperative drainage instead of two tubes.

Objective The study aimed to evaluate the incidence rate and risk factors of early post-mastectomy pain syndrome (EPMPS) after surgery for breast cancer.Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 231 female patients with breast cancer who appeared EPMPS after surgery in the First Hospital of China Medical University from September 2012 to September 2014.They were followed-up for 3 months.Results Among 231 female patients with breast cancer,41.1％ (95/231) suffered from EPMPS.The incidence of EPMPS in women of 40-59 years old was 66.3％ (63/95),significantly higher than other age groups,RR=l.83,P＜0.05.Those who were submitted to axillary lymph node dissection and those without preservation of intercostobrachial nerve had shown a significantly increased risk of EPMPS compared with those with sentinel lymph node biopsy plus no surgery and preservation of intercostobrachial nerve patients (81 cases vs.14 cases,41 cases vs.18 cases,x2=19.921,P＜0.01;x2=11.045,P＜0.05).Conclusions The frequency of EPMPS in the middle-age women is high and possible explanations are unclear.Surgery of axilla affects the incidence of EPMPS,reassurance is key to coping with EPMPS in nursing and rehabilitation.

[Objective] To emphasize the importance of early prevention and treatment, this article discusses on the theory and application of preventive treatment of disease from traditional Chinese medicine in prevention and treatment of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with diabetes. [Methods] With de-tailed research into related study of risk factors affecting carotid atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetic patients from recent years, comprehensive summary of tra-ditional risk factors and risk factors of the latest findings were demonstrated. The prevention and treatment of carotid atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mel itus was discussed in two aspects by theory of“preventive treatment of disease. [Result] In diabetic patients without carotid atherosclerosis, early and timely intervention can prevent the occurrence and development of the diabetes vascular lesions; In diabetic patients with carotid atherosclerosis, active treatment can reduce the incidence of stroke, myocardial infarction and other critical care. [Conclusion] In patients with type 2 diabetes, risk factors affect-ing carotid atherosclerosis should be control ed and intervened early, which can effectively reduce the occurrence and development of the diabetes vascular lesions to improve the quality of life, but early diagnosis technology and indicators need to be further researched.

In coloreetal cancer,there are multiple abnormally expressed microRNA (miRNA),suggesting that the miRNA may be involved in tumor development process.Recently,more and more evidence shows that miRNA are more stable in the blood,compared with mRNA,which makes circulating miRNA are helpful to become the non-invasive tumor marker for the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis evaluation in coloreetal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo explore a safe and effective scheme of analgesic for labor.

METHODSEighty-four primiparas without contraindication of vaginal delivery were divided into an observation group and a control group, 42 cases in each one. In the observation group, the acupoint injection was given at Zusanli (ST 36) combined with electroacupuncture (EA) at Hegu (LI 4) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) till the cervical opening at the end of first stage labor. In the control group, the routine respiratory instruction was applied. In 5 min, 10 min and 60 min of acupuncture (the same time points in the control group) as well as at the end of the first and second stage labor, the analgesic effect was assessed for the primiparas of the two groups. The labor stages, adverse reactions, postpartum hemorrhage, postpartum urine retention, newborn asphyxia rate and usage rate of oxytocin were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSIn the observation group, in 5 min, 10 min and 60 min of acupuncture as well as at the end of the first and second stages, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was lower apparently as compared with the control group at the corresponding time points (all P < 0.05). The differences in the time limit in the active period, the second and third stages were not significant between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions and the usage rate of oxytocin were lower than those in the control group [2.4% (1/42) vs 31.0% (13/42); 2.4% (1/42) vs 23.8% (10/42), both P < 0.05]. The differences in postpartum hemorrhage, postpartum urine retention and newborn asphyxia rate were not significant between the two groups (all P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe combination of acupoint injection and EA is the effective analgesic scheme for labor. This scheme effectively alleviates labor pain and has no maternal and child complications.

Objective To determine and compare the daily cost of various ophthalmic solutions for glaucoma in China. Design Investigative study. Participants The majority ophthalmic solutions for glaucoma available in our country were included in the research. Methods Five bottles of each solution were tested separately by five researchers. After the number of drops and the actual volume for each bottle were calculated, the mean number of drops per bottle and the mean volume per bottle were determined. The volume per drop was calculated by dividing the mean volume per bottle by the mean number of drops per bottle, and the cost per drop was calculated by dividing the market price by the mean number of drops in a bottle. The number of days for both eyes usage per bottle was calculated by dividing the mean number of drops in a bottle by the number of drops required daily for both eyes. The cost per day was calculated by multiplying the cost per drop by the number of drops required daily for both eyes. Main Outcome Measures The number of days for both eyes usage per bottle and the daily cost: for both eyes usage per bottle. Results 1. The volume per drop ranged from 0.027 ml(Lumigan) to 0.053 ml(Chengrui and 0.5%Zhenrui). 2. The cost per bottle ranged from 5.7Yuan(Malaisuan Saimaluo'er) to 338Yuan (Xalatan). 3. The number of days for both eyes usage per bottle ranged from 52d (Lumigan) to 12d ( Zhenrui). 4. The daily cost for both eyes usage from expensive to cheap were Xalatan 7.51Yuan, Travatan 6.30 Yuan, Lumigan 3.84 Yuan, Alphagan 3.36 Yuan, Dilijian 2.97 Yuan, Pailiming 2.83 Yuan, 2%Zhenrui 2.34 Yuan, Betagan 2.11 Yuan, Beiteshu 2.0 Yuan, 0.5% Zhenrui 1.49 Yuan, 2%Huming 1.29 Yuan, Mikelan 1.21 Yuan,1%Huming 0.85 Yuan, Chengrui 0.63 Yuan, Malaisuan Saimaluo'er 0.23 Yuan. Conclusions The daily cost of ophthalmic solution for glaucoma ranged wildly. These data may be useful in selecting ophthalmic solution for glaucoma therapy.

Objective To investigate the sensitivity of Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT-Ⅱ)parameters on the early optic nerve change of glaucoma head. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants Twenty-one patients (36 eyes) with big cupped disc(C/ D≥0.7) and twenty-seven patients (31 eyes) with early glaucoma (C/D≥0.7, MD≤3dB) were studied. Methods All patients underwent visual field and HRT-Ⅱ examination to get parameters of optic nerve head. T test was used to compare the parameters of optic disc between big cupped disc and early glaucoma. Main Outcome Measures HRT Ⅱ parameters included disc area, cup area, rim area, cup volume, rim volume, C/D area ratio, mean cup depth, maximum cup depth, cup shape measure, height variation contour, mean RNFL thickness and RNFL cross sectional area. Results Statistics analysis with T test (t=2.247-3.714, P=0.000-0.028) showed there were significant differences of rim area, rim volume, mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, sectional area of retinal nerve fiber layer between big cupped disc and early glaucoma. Conclusions We can pay attention to those parameters with HRT- Ⅱ to distinguish patients with big cupped disc and early glaucoma.
