Objective:To investigate the complications of traumatic optic neuropathy and to call the surgeons' attention to precaution. Method:Retrospectively analysis of 122 cases patients with traumatic optic neuropathy and 3 cases were analyzed in detail including 1 case with purulent meningitis, another 1 case with internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and the other 1 case with internal carotid artery cavernous sinus fistula. Result:Most of the patients had the complications of orbital fracture, maxillofacial fracture, ocular and craniocerebral injury. A few of patients had other injuries all over the body. The case with purulent meningitis was cured with antibiotics. The case with internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm was cured with neurosurgery. The visual acuity of the both cases were improved. The case with internal carotid artery cavernous sinus fistula died of severe hemorrhea. Conclusion: The patient with traumatic optic neuropathy has the possibility of severe cranial disorders,orbital fracture, maxillofacial fracture and injuries of viscera or limbs. It should be paid mare attention and treated accordingly.

Objective To establish the model for periventricular leukomalacia(PVL) by intracerebral injection of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) and explore realistic model for concerned studies and investigate the diagnostic method with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. MethodsSprague-Dawley rat pups of both sexes at the age of postnatal day 5 (P5) were randomized and divided into two groups: NPA group and PBS group , and they were injected the same volume of 3-NPA and PBS with a tip located at the corpus callosum above the left ventricle by stereotaxis instrument, respectively. One day (P6), two days (P7), three days (P8) and nine days (P14) after injection, the injections were transcardially perfused and brains were collected. Then sections of brains were undertaken HE staining; growth and the time of opening eyes of the rats in the two different groups were observed and compared. Neurobehaviorai activity and memory tests were performed on postnatal day 29 (P29) and day 30 (P30). MRI examination was performed on postnatal day 30 (P30). ResultsMore weight increase and slower opening eye time were found in the NPA group compared with PBS group (P < 0.05). In the NPA group, sub-cortical and periventricular white matter rarefaction were observed by HE staining on P6, P7 and P8, significant lateral ventricle enlargement was found on P14, while the same changes were not found in the PBS group, and no histological changes in gray matter were noted in both groups. The outcomes of neurobehavioral tests of NPA group were much more abnormal compared with the PBS group (P < 0.05). MRI examination disclosed the signal changes of brain tissue is worse in the NPA group than that of the PBS group in muscle strength of limbs, autocinesis, capability and white matter. ConclusionsThe model for PVL induced by intracerebral injection of 3-NPA is characterized by damage to the periventricular white matter. The model can stimulate the pathologic change factually in vivo. The neurobehavioral movement is consistent with.clinical symptom. It can be used as a model to investigate some related disease. MRI examination is a feasible diagnostic method to show anatomic changes of white matter injury of the brain.

In order to investigate the effect of malic enzyme on anaerobic mixed acid fermentation,the gene encoding NAD+-dependent malic enzyme was amplified from E.coli DH5? genome by using PCR and cloned into vector pTrc99a to give an expression vector pTrc99a-sfcA.Malic enzyme was overproduced by E.coli FMJ39(ldh,pfl)harboring pTrc99a-sfcA under the condition of IPTG induction.The results of anaerobic fermentation indicated overexpression of malic enzyme would have influence on the pathway of formate,acetate and succinate of FMJ39.The concentration of formate and acetate was 17.58% and 15.27% higher than FMJ39,the succinate concentration was reduced by 26.87%.There was no obvious citrate concentration change.The experimental results also indicated that high concentration of L-Thr and L-Ser would induce the Tdc operon to convert pyruvate into formate and acetate even when pfl gene encoding the pyruvate formate lyase was inactivated.

Objective To establish a practical and effective predictive model for predicting carotid plaque/thickened intima,and to provide a novel perspective for stroke screening.Methods A retrospective analysis of the community screening data collected from September 2012 to March 2013 was performed.The data of blood pressure,serum lipid profile and fasting blood glucose and ultrasonographic checks of carotid artery were documented.One thousand subjects were randomly sampled from totally 14 226 individuals and divided into 2 groups according to the presence of carotid plaque/thickened intima.Analysis of relevant data of subjects with Logistic regression were performed.Predictive model was established according to the odds ratio for each risk factor and evaluated by C statistics.Results In the randomly sampled 1000 subjects,164 ones were found to be with carotid plaque/thickened intima.The mean age was (60.23 ± 10.09) years old,110 (67.1％) were male.Smoker,hypertension,angina pectoris,diabetes and hyperlipidemia were seen more often in the subjects with carotid plaque/thickened intima.Logistic regression analysis showed the independent risk factors for carotid plaque/thickened intima included advanced age (OR =1.15,95％ CI:1.12-1.84,P＜0.01),male (OR=3.97,95％CI:2.49-6.33,P＜0.01),smoking (OR=1.80,95％CI:1.24-2.56,P =0.002),diabetes (OR =1.80,95％ CI:1.15-2.98,P =0.012),hypertension (OR =2.82,95％ CI:1.15-2.98,P ＜ 0.01),high total cholesterol level (OR =1.63,95％ CI:1.31-2.02,P ＜ 0.01) and high LDL-C (low density lipoprotein-cholesterol) level (OR =1.70,95 ％ CI:1.35-2.14,P ＜ 0.01).The advanced age was found to be the strongest predictive factor in this model.The C statistics of this model is 0.804,which overweighs other models previously reported.The optimal cutoff point for prediction was 3.5,with a sensitivity of 0.713 and a specificity of 0.757.Conclusion An practical and effective model for predicting carotid plaque/thickened intima established from sampling data of community residents is favorable for both stroke screening and primary stroke prevention.

Objective To investigate the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Changsha,and take intervention measures to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis and fracture.Methods A total of 278 HIV-infected patients and 154 cases of healthy adults from March 2011 to May 2015 were selected.Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to detect BMD,T-score and Z-score of all the research objects,including the whole body,lumbar spine (L2～4),and left hip joint.The height and weight were measured at the same time.Results The HIV infection group had an average age of (31.53 ± 8.56) years old,and the healthy control group was (34.45 ± 8.22) years old.Height between two groups had no significant difference.The average weight of HIV infection group was 6.93 kg [95％ CI,-9.01,-4.97;P ＜0.001] lighter than that in the normal control group.BMD,T-score and Z-score of HIV infection group were significantly lower than those in norrmal control group (P ＜ 0.001).The occurrence rate of osteopenia (Z ≤-1.0)and osteoporosis (Z ≤-2.0)in HIV infection group were correspondingly 43.53％ ～ 54.68％ and 9.71％ ～23.74％,which is about 4 times of that in the healthy control group (14.28％ ～ 20.13％,0.65％ ～ 5.84％).Conclusions The average body weight of HIV-infected patients was significantly lower than that of normal control group,and the incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HIV-infected group was significantly higher than that in normal control group.

Objective:To study the tuina effect on sleep disorder and emotional problems of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) cases.Method:Thirty CFS cases were treated in the treatment group,by applying one-thumb pushing,rolling and pressing-kneading manipulations along the Governor Vessel,Bladder and Yangming Meridians.The intended major points include Fengfu (GV 16),Yaoyangguan (GV 3),Xinshu (BL 15),Pishu (BL 20),Ganshu (BL 18),Hegu (LI 4) and Taixi (KI 3).The treatment was done once every other day;10 times constitute a course of treatment.Another 30 healthy cases were selected in the control group,without any intervention.The sleep quality and mental state in the two groups were evaluated by PSQI,HAMA and HAMD.In addition,the pre-treatment and post-treatment score changes were observed.Results:Before treatment,the total score of PSQI,sleep quality,time of falling asleep,sleep efficiency,sleep disorder,daytime functional impairment,and scores of HAMD and HAMA in treatment group were all substantially higher than the control group (P＜0.01).After 10 tuina treatments,the total score of PSQI,time of falling asleep,sleep disorder and daytime functional impairment as well as scores of HAMD and HAMA in treatment group were significantly changed,compared with before treatment,P＜0.05.Conclusion:Those with CFS may present with sleep disorder and mental or psychological abnormality,tuina can improve their sleep quality and adjust their mental conditions.

Objective To investigate the complications and outcomes of the treatments in the early time of posterior chamber phakic in-traocular contact lens ( ICL) implantation for the treatment of high myopia, and to analyze the causes. Methods Forty-six patients ( 92 eyes) who underwent ICL/TICL implantations were enrolled in this study. The intraoperative and the postoperative complications in 6 months were observed,at the same time also the treatments and the outcomes were observed. Results None of the patients had a pupillary block. Only 8 eyes in all the patients had an elevated IOP after peripheral iridectomy ( PI) ,and 7 eyes after the ICL implantation,the highest IOP in which was 28 mmHg. No medication was given for treatment. In the YAG PI group,the incidence rate of iris bleeding and pigment dispersion were all higher than that in the YAG PI group (P<0. 05);2 crystalline lens of different patient were damaged intraoperation. Rotation of TICL was observed in 2 eyes. Only 2 individuals of all the patients in this study had complained visual disturbances,which was shadows and glare. Visual psychological change occurred in 1 patient.
