Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2001;21(3):201-202
Objective To explore the clinical superiority of two kinds of chopping nucleus methods in phacoemulsification——etch and turn technique, stop and chop technique.Methods Three hundred and sixty-five eyes were performed with phacoemulsification, among which 85 eyes were performed with turn technique and 280 eyes were performed with chop technique.The results of the two kinds of chopping nucleus were analyzed.Results (1)Time of chopping nucleus:time of turn technique averaged 81.26 seconds while chop technique averaged 40.71 seconds; (2)Visual acuity in the first week after operation:turn technique:vision of 76 of 85 eyes were 0.5 of better, 7 eyes were 0.2~0.5(8.2%) and 2 eyes were 0.2 or worse; chop technique: vision of 253 of 280 eyes were 0.5 or better (90.4%), 21 eyes were 0.2~0.5(7.5%) and 6 eyes were 0.2 or worse (2.1%);(3)Reaction of corneal endothelial cells after the operation: central endothelium rugosity appeared in 4 eyes (4.7%) with turn techinque and in 7 eyes (2.5%) with chop technique. Conclusion The operation of the former is less difficult and the chopping nucleus time is longer. The time of the operation on the latter is shorter and it is appriate for hard nucleus and should be applied and spreaded. There are no marked differences as for the vision after the operation and the microcorneal injury between them.

Chemokine CXCL9/Mig (monokine induced by IFN-?) belongs to the subfamily of chemotactic cytokines known as CXC-chemokines. In vivo CXCL9 is mainly induced by IFN-? in macrophages and primary glial cells. In vitro, CXCL9 can be secreted by cells such as macrophages, microvascular endothelial cells and neutrophils, in response to the synergy of IFN-? and TLR(toll-like receptor) ligands. CXCL9 is a chemoattractant for activated T lymphocytes, tumor-infiltrating T-lymphocytes, but not for neutrophils or monocytes. The receptor specific for CXCL9 is CXCR3, a G protein-coupled protein which has seven transmembrane domain. The structure and the chemical characterization of CXCL9, as well as its effects on autoimmune deseases, allograft rejection, cancer therapy were reviewed.

Objective To systematically review the effect of discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy for postoperative bleeding in carotid endarterectomy(CEA) patients by meta-analysis.Methods We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, China Biology Medicine (CBM), Wanfang Database and VIP, and collected all the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about this topic.The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the method recommended by Cochrane Collaboration.Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software.Results Four RCTs involving 514 patients were included, 256 in the control group and 258 in the intervention group.All outcome measures were not heterogeneous (P>0.1, I2<50%), fixed effect model was used to analyze the outcomes.The results of meta-analysis showed that discontinuation of preoperative antiplatelet therapy could significantly reduce the risk ratio of postoperative stroke (RR=0.30, 95%CI 0.11-0.83, P=0.02).There was no significant difference in the risk of 30 d (RR=0.23, 95%CI 0.04-1.32, P=0.1) and 1-year mortality (RR=0.49, 95%CI 0.24-1.02, P=0.06), postoperative major bleeding (RR=1.40, 95%CI 0.54-3.59, P=0.49), postoperative bleeding complications (RR=1.02, 95%CI 0.15-6.96, P=0.98) and TIA (RR=1.08, 95%CI 0.47-2.49,P=0.86) between the two groups.Conclusion Discontinuation of preoperative aspirin therapy could significantly reduce the rate of postoperative stroke without increasing bleeding risk.

Objective To investigate the application of expanded p01ytetrafluoroethylene(ePTFE)grafts in upper arm to build arteriovenous aCCeSS for hemodialysis. Methods ePTFE graft vascular access was built in the upper arm in 20 uremia patients.Three operation strategies were applied according to the reference,including loop grafts connected axillary artery and axillary vein,straight graft connected axillary artery and elbow basilic vein,and bridge connected elbow brachial artery and axillary vein. Results Twenty operations were successful and after 6-8 weeks the fistula of all cases were used in hemodialysis.The blood flows were 220-300 ml/min without re-circulation found.Conclusion ePTFE graft arteriovenous vascular access in the upper arm could be an alternative for hemodialysis patients who are difficult to build native arteriovenous fistula.

Objective To explore the effect of xuezhikang on blood lipids,vascular endothelial function and redox balance in patients with carotid atherosclerosis.Methods A total of 108 inpatients with carotid atherosclerosis in cardiology department were randomly divided into two groups:xuezhikang group (n = 54) and cholestyramin group (n= 54).Before and after treatment,the levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),nitric oxide (NO),endothelin-1 (ET-1),reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) of all patients were measured.The GSH/GSSG as redox potentials were calculated according to Nernst equation.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,the levels of blood lipids were lower than before treatment in xuezhikang group [TC:(3.94±1.36) mmol/L vs.(5.68±1.47) mmol/L;LDL-C:(2.28±1.11) mmol/L vs.(3.43±1.36) mmol/L;TG:(1.54±0.59) mmol/L vs.(1.73±0.66)mmol/L;t=3.915,4.160,2.187;P<0.01,0.01,0.05,respectively],and the levels of blood lipids also decreased in cholestyramin group [TC:(4.15 ± 1.29) mmol/L vs.(5.73 ± 1.52)mmol/L;LDLC:(2.56± 1.06) mmol/L vs.(3.37± 1.35) mmol/L;TG:(1.69±0.57) mmol/L vs.(1.72±0.67) mmol/L;t=3.760,4.035,1.893;P<0.01,0.01,>0.05,respectively].In xuezhikang group,ET-1,GSSG and GSSG/GSH ratios decreased significantly [(121.71 + 59.11) ng/L vs.(154.43±63.06) ng/L;(30.42± 1.59) μmol/L vs.(33.93±1.74) μ mol/L;-146.1±4.4vs.-142.3±4.3;t=2.168,2.325,4.168;P<0.05,0.05,0.01,respectively],and NO,NO/ET-1 ratios,GSH and GSH/GSSG increased significantly [(64.40 ± 18.86) μmol/L vs.(48.41 ±16.53) μmol/L;(0.54±0.19) vs.(0.33±0.16);(321.27±56.47) μmol/L vs.(286.11±38.23)μmol/L;(10.56±1.70) vs.(8.65±1.18);t=3.725,3.987,3.894,4.168;all P<0.01].Conclusions For patients with carotid atherosclerosis,both xuezhikang and cholestyramin could lower blood lipids efficiently,but only xuezhikang could protect vascular endothelial function partly,and makes plasma redox imbalance shift the balance.

Objective To evaluate the impact of reducing clinical target volume (CTV) on the efficacy of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) . Methods Between August 2003 and March 2007, 380 NPC patients were treated with IMRT with reduced CTV.CTV1, defined as high risk region, included GTV +5 - 10 mm margin and the entire nasopharyngeal mucosa +5 mm submucosal volume; CTV2, designed for potentially involved regions, included the nasopharyngeal cavity (limited to the posterior part of nasal cavity only), maxillary sinus (limited to 5 mm anterior to the posterior nasal aperture and maxillary mucosa), pterygopalatine fossa, posterior ethmoid sinus,parapharyngeal space, skull base, anterior third of clivus and cervical vertebra, inferior spheniod sinus and cavernous sinus and internal group of retropharyngeal lymph nodal regions from the base of skull to cranial edge of the second cervical vertebra. The prescription dose was: GTV 66. 00 -69. 75 Gy/30 - 33 f, CTV1 60. 00 -66. 65 Gy,CTV2/CTVN 54. 0 -55.8 Gy. 308 patients with stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ diseases also received cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results The follow-up rate was 100%. 145 patients were followed-up to 3 years. The 3-year estimated local control, regional control, metastasis-free survival,disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 94. 9%, 97.4%, 86. 2%, 80. 9% and 89. 0%,respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that N-classification was a significant prognostic factor for metastasis-free survival (x2 = 20. 80, P = 0. 001), N-classification (x2 = 18. 30, P = 0. 003) and age (x2 =7. 31, P =0. 004) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Grade 2 xerostomia was observed in 5.6% of the patients after two years of IMRT, no Grade 3 or 4 xerostomia was observed. Local, regional,and distant failures were developed in 4. 2%, 2. 6% and 12. 1% of the patients, respectively. Conclusions The IMRT approach with reduced CTV2 provids a favorable outcome for NPC with acceptable toxicities.
