AIM:To evaluate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine plus laser photocoagulation on eyes which have peripheral retinal hole with shallow detachment.
METHODS: The 227 cases ( 246 eyes ) of retinal hole with shallow detachment were randomly divided into an integrated Chinese and western medicine group and a western medicine group. The former underwent laser photocoagulation combined with oral Chinese medicine;while the latter was treated with laser photocoagulation alone. Analyses of the effect were performed two months after treatment.
RESULTS:The total cure rate of integrated Chinese and western medicine group was 87. 7%, while that of western medicine group was 71. 6%, significant difference was considered between the two groups (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION: Chinese medicine combined with laser photocoagulation plays an exact role in eyes which have peripheral retinal hole with shallow detachment, especially when the detached range is greater than 1PD, and it is significantly better than western laser therapy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical effects of arthroscopy in the treatment of medial meniscal cyst.

METHODSFrom June 2011 to January 2013, 7 patients with medial meniscal cyst were treated with arthroscopy. There were 3 males and 4 females,ranging in age from 27 to 63 years old,with a mean age of (43.93±2.10) years old. The cysts have been discovered for 3 to 30 months,with a mean time of (10.6±1.3) months. All the patients complained of knee pain,especially in the medial joint gap. The Pisani sign, Caklin sign and medial McMurray sign were all positive. Preoperative MRI examination confirmed the diagnosis. Lysholm score changes and clinical efficacy were observed through a six-month follow-up.

RESULTSThe postoperative Lysholm scores were all significantly higher than the preoperative scores. According to Sarimo standard, 6 patients got an excellent result, and 1 good.

CONCLUSIONArthroscopic treatment of medial meniscal cyst has replaced the traditional method, which could retain the normal meniscus as much as possible and repair the meniscus injury simultaneously, as well as get a good curative effect and a good recovery of knee function. This method is worthy of clinical application.

Purpose To prepare a novel fusion protein of CREKA and tTF as a universal carrier targeting to cancer,and to analyze its activities.Methods CREKA and tTF gene were acquired by PCR,and inserted into plasmid pET22b(+)to construct recombinant plasmid CREKA/tTF/pET22b(+),and the fusion gene was expressed in E.coli BL21.The fusion protein Wag purified through Nickel-affinity chromatography column.After purifying,the fusion protein was refold by subsequent dialysis.The activities of the fusion proteins were measured by coagulation timing and quantitative fluorescence test in vitro.Results The recombinant plasmid CREKA/tTF/pET22b(+)with correct sequence was obtained.The fusion protein was highly expressed in E.coli BL21.The coagulation of the fusion protein Was determined by the coagulation test.And the capability of the fusion protein effectively binding to clotted plasma proteins is identified in quantitative fluorescence test.Conclusion The recombinant plasmid CREKA/tTF/pET22b(+)with correct sequence was built.The fusion protein CREKA/tTF with both TF and CREKA activity was successfully obtained.

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.

Objective To evaluate remedy therapy for biliary restenosis after repair of bile duct injury.Methods Clinical data of 60 patients with bile duct injury including 16 patients with restenosis after repair admitted to Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2000 to December 2012 was retrospectively analyzed.Results 16 patients suffering from biliary duct restenosis included 3 cases of type Ⅱ 1 d,10 cases of type Ⅱ2 d,2 cases of type Ⅱ 3 d and 1 case of type Ⅱ 4 d.The reoperative procedures included hepatic hilar biliary plasty with bilioenteric anastomosis in 15 cases,right hemihepatectomy with left hepatic bilioenteric anastomosis in 1 case.Postoperative bile leakage in 3 cases and pleural effusion in 10 cases were cured by watchful therapy.All of the 16 cases were followed up with an average time of 5.2 years.No occurrence of cholangitis and elevated liver enzymes were observed up to now in 8 patients,increased γ-GT and ALP,no cholangitis but anastomotic stenosis as showed by MRCP in 6 patients with 2 patients neccesitating reoperation to address repeated cholangitis.Conclusions Restenosis after bile duct repair was closely associated with injury type,repair opportunity,repair methods and the surgeon's expertise.Precise preoperative evaluation,the choice of rational surgical approach,the clinging to mucosa-to-mucosa bilioenteric anastmosis principle and the establishment of postoperative long-term followup system centered on ALP,γ-GT and life quality score are required in the reoperation of stenosis after bile duct repair.

Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common disorder of digestive system,however,some of patients are not responding to conventional 4-8 weeks proton pump inhibitor therapy. Aims:To investigate the effect of digital music gastric electrical pacing on clinical symptoms,anxiety and depression and esophageal motility in patients with refractory GERD. Methods:Fifty-three patients with refractory GERD from Jan. 2014 to Oct. 2015 at the Third Affiliated Hospital,the Third Military Medical University were recruited. All of them fulfilled the Montreal definition of GERD. Digital music gastric electrical pacing was performed for 15 days and the efficacy was evaluated by clinical symptom scoring,Hamilton anxiety scale( HAMA),Hamilton depression scale( HAMD)and esophageal motility manometry. Results:After 15-day treatment,the main symptoms,including heartburn,daytime and nocturnal acid reflux,upper abdominal pain,nausea,and sleep disorder were significantly improved(P < 0. 001). A great proportion of patients were complicated with anxiety and/ or depression at recruitment,and after treatment the scores of HAMA and HAMD were decreased significantly(P < 0. 001). Meanwhile,the lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure(LESP),distal wave amplitude,peristaltic wave duration,speed of peristaltic wave and distal contraction integral after treatment were significantly increased as compared with the baseline values(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Digital music gastric electrical pacing is effective for treatment of refractory GERD with increase of LESP and esophageal body motility. The clinical symptoms and anxiety and depression are improved simultaneously. Digital music gastric electrical pacing is expected to be a new choice of non-medicine treatment for esophageal motility disorders.
