1.The mechanism and clinical features of paraneoplastic retinopathy
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2016;34(5):476-480
Paraneoplastic retinopathy (PR) is a rare form of paraneoplastic syndrome,it occurs when autoantibodies of neoplasms cross-react with autoantigens in normal retina.PR includes carcinoma-associated retinopathy (CAR),melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) and bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP).Many kinds of autoantigens are involved in the process of CAR,like recoverin,α-enolase,α-transducin and so on.TRPM1 is a component of an ion channel of bipolar cell,it plays an important role in MAR.There are fewer kinds of antibodies associated with BDUMP,only anti-recoverin and anti-heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) antibodies were found in one particular research.The clinical manifestation of PR includes rapid vision loss of both eyes,photopsia and nyctalopia.The fundus can be normal or mild abnormal.Electroretinogram (ERG) presents various abnormalities based on the type of PR and autoantibody.The treatment of PR mainly targets on the original tumor,meanwhile glucocoticoids,plasmapheresis and intravenous immune globulin are also applied singly or combinedly in clinic.

Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for treating patients with double J (DJ) stent extubation difficulties.Methods A retrospective analysis were conducted from July 1999 to December 2013,total 30 cases (18 male and 12 female) were accepted the ESWL therapy for treating the DJ extubation difficult due to the stone scales surface.The average age in those patients was 46 years (range 24 to 83 years).The average duration of DJ stents indwelling was 8.3 months (range 1.5 to 36.0 months).There were 10 cases with single stone and 20 cases with multiple stones.The distribution of stone location included left kidney in 14 cases,right kidney in 6 cases,left ureter in 3 cases and right ureter in 7 cases.The ureteral stone scales around the DJ stent showed tubular distribution.The distribution of imaging characteristic included kidney stones around the DJ stent joint in 20 cases and surface coarse in 10 cases.The diameter of the stone ranged from 0.7 to 3.2 cm (mean 1.8 cm).All the 30 cases were treated by ESWL with the 2 000-3 300 times frequency (mean 2 800 times).Treatment voltage was 4-8 KV.Results Gravel time ranged from 40 to 70 min (mean 45 min).No intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred.Their DJ stents were easily extubated immediately after ESWL.One week after ESWL,all the patients reported the flushing of the stone.Conclusion ESWL is a simple,convenient and efficacy way to solve the DJ stent extubation difficulties due to the scales surface.

This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy ofTong-Bu San-Sheng(TBSS) Decoction to reduce the toxicity and side effects of chemotherapy, as well as prolong progression-free survival (PFS) for advanced lung squamous carcinoma patients who received chemotherapy. A total of 83 lung squamous carcinoma cases were divided into two groups by patients’ wishes. The control group contained 41 cases were treated by the chemotherapy of gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP). The trial group contained 42 cases were treated by chemotherapy plus Chinese herbal medicine TBSS decoction. The toxicity and side effects of chemotherapy, as well as short-term outcome were evaluated. PFS of patient was recorded. The results showed that there were no differences on granulocytopenia (P = 0.115) or short-term outcome (P = 0.081) for patients of both groups after chemotherapy. The percentages of nausea, vomiting and thrombocytopenia in the trial group were lower than that in the control group (P = 0.037,P = 0.040). The PFS of patients in the trail group were prolonged compared to patients in the control group (4.31 ± 0.24 VS 3.78 ± 0.16 month;P = 0.043). It was concluded that Chinese herbal medicine TBSS decoction cannot reduce granulocytopenia caused by chemotherapy, or improve the tumor response rate (RR) of short-term outcome. However, it can prolong PFS, relieve nausea, vomiting and thrombocytopenia during chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND:Three dimensional finite element analysis is widely used in orthopedics, but research in the knee flexion movement is not much. OBJECTIVE:To analyze biomechanical properties of knee flexion using finite element analysis.METHODS:Three dimensional finite element models and models of knee flexion at 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 120 degrees were established. Femoral forward movement, femur inward movement, tibia internal rotation and tibia vara were analyzed at different flexion angles. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) When knee flexion was at 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 120 degrees, the femur had backward movement. The backward movement value was larger at 60 degrees than at 30 and 120 degrees (P<0.05). The backward movement value was larger at 120 degrees than at 30 degrees (P>0.05). (2) The femur had outward movement at 30 degrees, and inward movement at 120 degrees. The inward movement value was significantly larger at 120 degrees than at 30 and 60 degrees (P<0.05). No significant difference in outward movement was determined between the 30 and 60 degrees (P>0.05). (3) Tibia internal rotation was not significantly different at 30, 60 and 120 degrees of flexion (P>0.05). (4) Tibia vara was found at 30, 60 and 120 degrees of flexion, but the tibia vara was not obvious at 120 degrees. The tibia vara was maximum at 60 degrees, and significantly higher than that at 120 degrees (P<0.05). The tibia vara was larger at 30 degrees than at 120 degrees (P>0.05). (5) These findings verify that backward movement was most obvious at 60 degrees. Femur inward movement was most large at 120 degrees. Tibia internal rotation was noticeable at 30 and 120 degrees. Tibia vara was remarkable at 60 degrees.

Objective To evaluate the early diagnostic value of circulating microRNA-1 (miR-1) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted. The patients with chest pain admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Wuxi from November 2012 to June 2015 were enrolled. According to AMI diagnostic criteria, the patients were divided into AMI group and non-AMI group, and healthy individuals during the same period were served as heath controls. The venous samples of the onset patients were collected within 3 hours after admission. The plasma miR-1 was determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the levels of plasma cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) were measured by electrochemiluminescence. The correlation between plasma miR-1 and cTnI as well as CK-MB was performed by Spearman analysis. The early diagnostic performance of plasma miR-1, cTnI, and CK-MB for AMI was estimated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results There were 127 patients in AMI group, and 107 in non-AMI group, including 82 patients with angina pectoris, 2 with pulmonary embolism, 3 with aortic dissection, 2 with acute pericarditis, 3 with myocarditis, 13 with acute heart failure, and 2 with peptic ulcer. Ninety volunteers were served as healthy controls. There was no difference in clinical characteristics including gender and hyperlipidemia between AMI group and non-AMI group. The expressions of plasma miR-1, cTnI and CK-MB were significantly increased in AMI patients as compared with those of the healthy controls [miR-1 (2-ΔΔCt): 4.32±2.60 vs. 1.44±0.75 and 0.98±0.18, cTnI (μg/L): 3.23 (0.63, 10.70) vs. 0.02 (0.00, 0.17) and 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), CK-MB (U/L): 32.40 (14.20, 95.40) vs. 14.40 (11.20, 17.10) and 8.90 (8.28, 9.50), all P < 0.01]. The expression of plasma miR-1 had a significantly positive correlation with cTnI and CK-MB in AMI patients (r1 = 0.395, r2 = 0.490, both P < 0.000). It was demonstrated by ROC curve analysis that the area under ROC curve (AUC) for the diagnostic value of miR-1 on AMI was 0.905 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.860-0.950, P = 0.000], the sensitivity was 86.6%, and the specificity was 95.4%; the AUC for cTnI was 0.908 (95%CI = 0.870-0.946, P = 0.000), the sensitivity was 81.9%, and the specificity was 95.9%; the AUC for CK-MB was 0.795 (95%CI = 0.736-0.854, P = 0.000), the sensitivity was 63.0%, and the specificity was 92.9%. Conclusions Plasma miR-1 has the capacity in early diagnosis of AMI, superior to CK-MB, and equal to cTnI. It can provide additional diagnostic information beyond cTnI. The diagnostic accuracy for early AMI can be improved with the combination of plasma miR-1 and cTnI.
