Background Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disease.Macular edema is a common complication and can lead to the decrease of visual acuity.Intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs and triamcinolone acetonide has become the important treatment on macular edema.Objective This study was to systematically evaluate the clinical effects of anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone in patients with macular edema caused by CRVO.Methods The Databases including PubMed,Cochrane Library (Issue 11,2012),EMbase,CBM,CNKI,VIP and WanFang Database were electronically searched for the trials about the effects of anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone in patients with macular edema caused by CRVO from the date of establishment of the databases to September 2015.The combined effect was analyzed by using Review Manager 5.3 software.Results A total 7 trials involving 345 patients and 348 eyes were included.Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and macular central thickness between anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone in the 6-month follow-up (mean difference [MD] =-0.03,95％ confidence interval[CI]:-0.11-0.05,P =0.52;MD =-15.37,95％ CI:-36.29-5.55,P =0.15),but there was statistical difference in intraocular pressure (MD =-2.73,95％ CI:-3.59--1.86,P＜0.000 01).Twenty-two cases of lens opacity and 8 cases elevated intraocular pressure were observed in the triamcinolone group.Only 2 cases of lens opacity were observed in the anti-VEGF drugs group.Conclusions Anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone have similar improvement of BCVA and decrease of macular central thickness in CRVO patients,while the triamcinolone is accompanied with more side effects such as high intraocular pressure and progressing cataract.

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effect of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion for the treatment of microinflammation in diabetic nephropathy patients.Methods One hundred and twenty-five cases of diabetic nephropathy experienced treatment from July 2014 to December 2015 in author's hospital were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into two groups randomly.The observation group received hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion,and the control group received just hemodialysis therapy.The status of microinflammation and curative effect were compared.Results The effective rate of observation group was 60.6％,while was 45.8％ in control group (P＜0.05).Microinflammation level:compared with control group,SAA,IL-6,IL-17,IL-22,IL-1β,TNF-αand TGF-β1 status of observation group showed decreased trend (P＜0.01).Conclusion Hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion can effectively decreased microinflammation status in diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To compare the clinical outcome of unipedicular versus bipedicular vertebroplasty treating for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.Methods Sixty-four patients(68 vertebra)were divided into two groups by treated methods:unipedicular kyphoplasty group(33 cases)and bipedicular vertebroplasty group(31 cases).The Cobb angle and vasual analogue pain scale(VAS)were measured preoperatively and postoperatively.The operation time was recorded.Compared the Cobb angle,VAS and the operation time between two groups.Results Of unipedicular kyphoplasty group preoperative,24 hours and 3 months after operation,VAS were(8.42 ± 1.33),(2.21 ± 1.67),(2.09 ± 1.58)scores,the Cobb angle were(31.24 ±9.12)°,(14.21 ±9.21)°,(14.43 ±9.36)° ;while those of bipedicular vertebroplasty group were(8.36 ± 1.52),(2.13 ± 1.80),(2.00 ± 1.71)scores and(30.84 ±8.77)°,(13.94 ± 8.87)°,(14.07 ± 9.87)°.VAS and the Cobb angle of both groups at 24 hours and 3 months after operation were lower than those preoperative(P＜ 0.01).VAS and the Cobb angle of both groups were similar at the same time preoperatively and postoperatively(P ＞ 0.05).The operation time of unipedicular kyphoplasty group and bipedicular vertebroplasty was(45.00 ± 8.76),(72.00 ± 9.32)min,respectively,there was statistically significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Compared with the bipedicular vertebroplasty,the advantages of unipedicular kyphoplasty are as follows:less trauma,less operation time and less X-rays rediation accepted of the patient and the operator.And it has the similar clinical outcome with the bipedicular vertebroplasty.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal gastrodin on skin cancer pain in mice.Methods Thirty-two female Balb/c mice,aged 8 weeks,weighing 20-25 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),skin cancer pain group (group SCP),gastrodin group (group G),and artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) control group (group ASCF).Skin cancer pain was produced by injecting phosphate buffer solution 20 μl containing about 2 ×105 4T1 breast cancer cells into the plantar surface of the left hindpaw.At 14th day after inoculation of cancer cells,ASCF 5 μl was injected intrathecally in S and ACSF groups,and gastrodin 150 μg/kg (5 μl) was injected intrathecally in group G.Before inoculation,at 30 min before intrathecal injection,and at 15,30,60,90,120 and 150 min after intrathecal injection,the thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) was measured.The expression of acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC)-3 mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was detected using the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction after the last measurement of the pain threshold.Results Compared with group S,the TWL was significantly decreased at each time point before and after intrathecal injection in SCP,ACSF and G groups,and the expression of ASIC-3 mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was significantly down-regulated in group G (P＜0.05).Compared with group SCP,the TWL was significantly increased at each time point after intrathecal injection,and the expression of ASIC-3 mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was significantly down-regulated in group G (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group ACSF (P＞0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal gastrodin can reduce skin cancer pain and down-regulate ASIC-3 expression in the spinal dorsal horn which is helpful in maintaining the analgesic effect in mice.

Objective To study the influence of bFGF gene transfected bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the inflammatory cytokines of COPD rat. Methods The BMSCs were separated from SD rat and cultured and then bFGF gene was imported to BMSCs by liposome transfection method. The samples were prepared into six groups: normal control group, COPD group (A), BMSCs group (B), pcDNA3.1-BMSCs group (C), bFGF-pcDNA3.1-BMSCs group (D), and bFGF group (E). The expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β by QRT-PCR were detected. Results Compared with COPD group, TNF-α and IL-1β genes from groups B to D dropped significantly (P < 0.05). The changes of TNF-α and IL-1β genes among groups B to D showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion BFGF transfected BMSCs, sample BMSCs and pcDNA3.1 transfected BMSCs can inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and IL-1β, but there is no obvious advantage in comparison to bFGF transfected BMSCs and sample BMSCs in respect of inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and IL-1β.

Objective To analyze causes for postoperative fixation-related complications of femoral in- tertrochanteric fractures treated with dynamic hip screws(DHS)and dynamic condylar screws(DCS).Methods From January 1995 to December 2004,215 cases of intertrochanteric fracture were treated with DHS/DCS.Their postoperative fixation-related complications were analyzed to find out the causes.Results All cases were followed up for 13 to 72 months(mean,32 months).The rate of excellent and good functional recovery of hip was 94.0%. Postoperative internal-fixation-related complications occurred in 31 cases,including hip varus in 14 cases who had posterior intertrochanteric fragments,delayed union of fracture in 12 cases who had fractured calcar and lesser trochanter and massive dissection of soft tissues,and cutting-out of lag screws in five cases,three of whom had to receive prosthetic replacement.Conclusions Unsuitable implant selection is an important factor leading to postoperative fixation-related complications.Unstable fracture,serious osteoporosis and unsatisfactory reduction will increase the incidence of complications.

The array CGH technique (Array Comparative Genome Hybridization) has been developed to detect chromosomal copy number changes on a genome-wide and/or high-resolution scale. It is mainly used in human genetics and oncology. Generally PCR amplified bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) or cDNAs have been spotted on the arrays as probes. Recently, however, oligonucleotide arrays designed with more flexibility and provide much higher resolution with high sensitivity, have been successfully explored in stead of BAC array CGH and can save considerable time and efforts. There will be a gradual transition from BAC array CGH to oligonucleotide array CGH in the coming years. The combination of oaCGH and other high-through put analysis can lead to discoveries of a host of novel oncogenes, tumor suppressors as well as tumor drug resistance genes. Some major platforms of oaCGH concerning their spatial resolution, optimal probe length, sensitivity, specificity and application in recent years were compared.
