Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is an inherited retinal disorder characterized by abnormal vascularization of the peripheral retina with a variety of phenotypes.Genetic analyses have identified five causative genes,including FZD4,LRP5,NDP,TSPAN12 and ZNF408,which were associated with autosomal dominant (AD),autosomal recessive and X-linked recessive FEVR.FZD4,LRP5 and TSPAN12 are key genes in classical Wnt pathway,which plays an important role in retinal angiogenesis.FZD4 encodes FZD4 protein that forms a receptor complex with LRP5 and TSPAN12.The complex binds with Wnt ligand or Norrin,encoding by NDP,to active Wnt/Norrin signaling network.ZNF408 encodes zinc finger protein,which is associated with AD FEVR.The current review provided a comprehensive summary of the genes involved in FEVR.

Objective To investigate the possibility of taking bees as laboratory animals and establishing the new rapid ag-ing animal model. Methods The bee model was established under environment of high temperature, lack of oxygen, and vibration. The appropriate conditions for establishing the model were investigated by observing the changes of appearance and measuring the activities of the total SOD and GSH-PX in the whole homogenate of bees. Meanwhile, the changes of biopsy were observed. Results Bees aging model could been set up at the conditions of appropriate temperature, hypoxia and noise. The model has obvious indications of aging, such as reduced activity of SOD and GSH-PX, and obviously pathological changes of brain organization and intestinal tissue. The aging indications are not the most seriously and are suit-able for the studies on drug improving the aging indications. Conclusion Being in the enviroment of high temperature (35 ℃), hypoxia and noise for4 hours, can result in the better bee aging model.

Objective To understand the etiology of acute hepatitis B (AHB) in adults and investigate the mechanisms of hepatic injury and viral clearance in AHB. Methods One hundred and twenty adult AHB patients were enrolled. Epidemiological and clinical data were collected from the case history records or face-to-face inquiry, and serum samples were collected during hospitalization and follow-up. To observe dynamic patterns of AHB etiology, the markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the level of HBV DNA and HBV genotype were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Enumeration data were analyzed by non-parametric rank sum test. Comparison between groups was done by t test and that between rates of samples was done by Pearson χ2 test. Results Serum HBV DNA was positive in 48.33% of patients at the time of diagnosis with mean level of 9.84×04 copy/mL, and became undetectable after 12.5 days on average. The median levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were 1600 U/L and 1490 U/L in HBV DNA positive and negative groups, respectively (z=-0. 678, P=0. 498). However, the mean levels of serum ALT were (2058±123) U/L and (1393±139) U/L in groups of HBV DNA<1×104 copy/mL and>1×104 copy/mL, respectively, which was significantly different (t=-2.17, P=0. 049). Genotype B accounted for 52.5%, genotype C 42.5 and genotype B and C mixed type 5.0% in 58 patients with HBV DNA positive. Eight patterns of serum HBV markers were presented at first visiting. HBsAg(+), HBeAg(+), anti-HBc(+), anti-HBc IgM(+) and HBsAg(+), anti-HBe(+), anti-HBc(+), anti-HBc IgM(+) were the most common patterns, which accounted for 38.3% and 30.0%, respectively. The dynamic patterns of serum HBV markers of 28 AFIB patients were prospectively followed up. The rate of serum FIBsAg loss was 100. 0% and the median time of negative-conversion was 3 weeks. The cumulative positive rate of anti-HBs was 85.7% after 52 weeks of follow-up. The rate of serum HBeAg loss was 100.0%. HBeAg was negative in 53.6% of patients at first visiting and the rest of patients achieved negative within 4 weeks after onset. The positive rate of anti-HBe was 82.1% during 52 weeks of follow-up. Total anti-HBc (including IgG and IgM) was keeping positive in all patients within 52 weeks, and the negative rate of anti-HBc IgM was 39. 3% after followed up for 52 weeks. Conclusions Rapid HBV clearance andserum HBV marker conversion are significantly different between AHB and chronic hepatitis B.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic bile duct injury during choledochocystectomy. Methods Clinical data of 24 cases of iatrogenic bile duct injury were analyzed retrospectively from 2005 to 2009. Results Eight patients underwent early repair of bile duct within 4 days after the injury. 14 patients with later recognized bile duct injury underwent selective operations, and two patients were discharged after their jaundice were relieved without any surgical treatment. Supporting T tubes were left in place in 22 patients for 8 to 14 months after operations, without any biliary obstruction found after one year and six months to five year follow-up. Conclusions Early bile duct injury within 4 days was easily treated, but later bile duct injury should have selective operation. The patients with jaundice could be diagnosed with PTCD and ERCP to observe the bile duct injury. During operation membrane-to-membrane wide hepatojejunostomy helps prevent later anastomotic stenosis. The left in drainage tube in anastomotic stoma for more than 8 months improves success rate in the process of injuried bile duct repair.
