AIM:To explore the possible alteration of refraction and estimate the potential impact of visual quality, investigate the impact of intraocular structure between the simple operation and the combination of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, and observe the influence among various tamponade materials application.
METHODS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy ( UBM ) and intraocular len ( IOL ) Master were measured for simple vitrectomy patients ( the simple group, 37 eyes ) and vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery patients ( the combined group, 11 eyes ) . Several parameters were measured such as the anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) , angle opening distance ( AOD ) , trabecular iris angle (TIA), axial length (AL), et al . The simple group was further divided into three sub - groups by various tamponade materials in vitreous: silicone oil group, gas group and equilibrium liquid group. All patients were measured including ACD, AOD250, AOD500, TIA500, AL and corneal curvature (K1, K2) parameters preoperatively and 2wk postoperatively.
RESULTS: AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and AL were decreased 0. 13±0. 21mm, 0. 16±0. 22mm, 8. 68o±9. 72o and 0. 18±0. 24mm ( all P<0. 05 ) respectively in the simple group postoperatively. ACD, AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and AL in combined group increased 0. 95±0. 54mm, 0. 13±0. 12mm, 0. 22±0. 20mm, 11. 49o±11. 06o, and 0. 45±0.30mm ( all P < 0. 05 ) respectively after operation. Alteration of ACD, AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and AL were different between simple group and combined group ( P<0. 05). Of data from various tamponade materials sub-groups, ACD, AOD250, AOD500 and TIA500 of the gas group reduced 0. 19±0. 17mm, 0. 14±0. 09mm, 0. 20±0. 12mm, and 12. 02o±6. 64o respectively after operation ( P<0. 05), the AOD250, AOD500, TIA500 and axial length of silicone oil group decreased 0. 19±0. 25mm, 0. 21±0. 26mm, 10. 44o±9. 67oand 0. 23±0. 19mm respectively after operation ( P < 0.05 ) , while equilibrium liquid group had no significant changed in all intraocular structure (P>0. 05). However, neither the corneal thickness nor curvature (K1, K2) were changed postoperatively (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Alteration of anterior segment and axial length in combined group are different from that of the simple group, while the corneal thickness and corneal curvature ( K1, K2 ) are not obviously changed in all groups. Meanwhile, various tamponade materials can also cause different impact on intraocular structure and refraction. In brief, alterations of intraocular structure might cause discrepant refractive changes and potential influence of visual quality.

Objective To evaluate the conventional ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosis of splenic trauma including its grading diagnosis. Methods US and CEUS in 42 patients with splenic trauma confirmed by CT and/or operation were performed during 9.2004-10.2007. All the data were compared and analyzed retrospectively. Results Of 42 patients with splenic trauma, 28 cases were detected and 14 cases were missed on US examination, whereas, 40 cases were detected and only 2 mild cases were missed on CEUS examination. The detection rate of lesions with CEUS was significantly higher than that of US (P<0.001) . Ten cases in grading the injury were underestimated by US, however, none of them were underestimated by CEUS. CEUS had good concordance with CT and/or operation in grading diagnosis of 42 cases except two mild cases. Conclusions CEUS has very good concordance with CT and/or operation in detecting injury and grading the splenic trauma compared with conventional US. CEUS as a new imaging technology has made great advance of ultrasoongraphy in evaluation of splenic trauma including injury grading,and it is very useful in clinical application.

AIM Protective effects of extract of astragalus on injuries of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats and anoxia in mice. METHODS Acute anoxia in mice were produced by hypoxia under normal pressure and decapitation. In these two models the survival time and persistent time of gasping were observed. The global ischemia and reperfusion in rats was made by four-vessel occlusion (4-VO). After 20 min ischemia and 24 h reperfusion, the brain index and water content in brain was detected. MDA content and SOD activity of brain homogenate were tested. Endothelin concentration was determined both in plasma and hippocampus. The pathological changes of cortex tissue were observed by light microscope. RESULTS EA(50,100 mg?kg -1) significantly prolonged the survival time and persistent time of gasping in mice subjected to acute anoxia. EA(20,40,80 mg?kg -1) markedly reduced brain edema induced by global ischemia and reperfusion. EA(40,80 mg?kg -1) decreased MDA content and increased SOD activity in brain homogenate, and also inhibited ET concentration both in plasma and hippocampus. The pathological changes of cortex tissue were less serious in rats treated with EA. CONCLUSION EA has protective effects on cerebral ischemia and anoxia injuries that may relate to anti-oxidation and inhibition of ET production.

Objective To analyze C4d deposition in the patients with late acute renal allograft rejection,and explore the role of C4d in grafts survival and grafts loss. Methods Thirty-six patients clinical and pathologically diagnosed as having acute rejection more than one year post-transplant were selected. C4d was detected by immunohistochemistry in renal allograft biopsies. The effect of C4d deposition on long-term graft survival was studied. Results Among 36 recipients with late acute renal allograft rejection, 16 cases were positive for C4d (44.4 %) and 20 negative for C4d (55.6 %). Five cases experienced graft loss in C4d positive group (31.3 %), while 6 cases in C4d negative group (30.0%). There was no significant difference in the graft loss rate between C4d-positive group and C4d-negative group. Log-Rank test demonstrated there was no significant difference in graft survival between C4d-positive group and C4d-negative group. The count of the interstitial infiltrated eosinophils in renal allograft was (9.4 + 4.5) and (2.6 + 1.8) respectively in the C4d-positive group and C4dnegative group (P＜0.05). Conclusion C4d deposition in peritubular capillary of the recipients with late acute renal allograft rejection might not be a prognostic marker for graft outcome.

BACKGROUND: Brain death patient is the optimal donator due to the short warm ischemia time, which is conductive to renal function recover following transplantation. However, there are no reports concerning the recovery of renal function in uremia patients following renal transplantation with brain death patients' kidney. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the experience and therapeutic efficacy of renal transplantation using brain death free-donated kidney. METHODS: Six patients with urinsmia underwent renal transplantation with donor kidney of brain death patients from May 2006 to November 2008 at the Organ Transplantation Center, 309~(th) Hospital of Chinese PLA, were selected, including 2 patients receiving kidneys from a brain death patient, 4 patients receiving kidneys from 3 brain death patients. Four recipients received immunosupprsssive regimen of mycophenolate+ciclosporin+steroid, and 2 recipients received mycophenolate+ acrolimus+steroid. The renal function and medicine density were detected regularly, and change of renal function and pathogenetic condition were retrospective analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All 6 patients accepted renal transplantation successfully. The serum creatinine level was obvious descended in 5 patients within a week after transplantation, which meant that the transplanted kidney had begun to work. One patient suffered delayed renal graft function, and returned to normal at 10 days after transplantation. Three patients suffered acute rejection in the first year, and recovered by intravenous glucocorticoid therapy. One patient died after 1 year for pulmonary infection, which accompanied by serum creatinine of 469 pmol/L. The other patients reexamined regularly, and they had good quality of life up to now. The results reveled that renal function recovers in time after transplantation using brain death free-donated kidney, which can ameliorate life quality of patients.

BACKGROUND: Living-donor kidney transplantation is not only associated to prognosis of recipients, but also donors' healthy. Complete medical and psychological assessment should be performed prior to transplantation to ensure the safety of donors. OBJECTIVE: To analyze and summarize the assessment experience of living-relative kidney donors prior to transplantation. METHODS: Totally 77 cases of living-relative kidney donors admitted at Organ Transplantation Center, Second Affiliated Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA between January 2006 and March 2008 were reviewed. Among them, the analysis was carried out respectively according to the live donor nephrectomy guide of the United Kingdom (2005 Edition) before January 20, 2008, and live donor kidney transplantation consensus Boao meeting after January 20, 2008. In common practice, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular system, infectious disease study, age, obesity, proteinuria, renal artery, renal function, receptor for HLA typing and medical ethics, were systematically evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Of the 77 cases of assessed patients, 69 were qualified, successful donors, and completely cured, without complications. Totally 8 cases of non-donors were due to: 2 cases for hypertension combined with end organ damage; 2 for diabetes mellitus; 1 confirmed malignant tumor in kidney-donated surgery; 1 in the activity period of hepatitis B; 1 for resistance from his wife with medical ethics. The average age of donors was 45.3 years old, including and 7 cases above 60 years old, 24 of 50-59 years old, 29 of 30-49 years old, and 9 below 30 years old. There were 39 cases of parent child donation, 1 child parent donation, 19 siblings donation, 7 cases of three generations of collateral serum, and 3 cases of donation between husband and wife. Of successful donors, blood pressure was above 140/90 in 8 cases; Successful donors were without symptoms of myocardial ischemia but 14 cases had consciously ECG ST-T changes; 3 cases had abnormal fasting blood glucose. The successful donors' body mass index (BMI) reached the average of 23.05 kg/m~2, were below 30 kg/m~2; In assessment of infectious diseases, 3 cases were hepatitis B HBs and HBc-positive in a non-activity period, and the antibody titers were below 500 IU/L. In renography, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was assessed to average (137.3±28.5) mL/min, and no significant statistical difference emerged (P < 0.05). Vascular three-dimensional CT prompted many left renal artery root in 3 cases, accounting for 4% in successful donors, 1 case did not match, accounting for 1%. It demonstrated that the primary purpose of assessment of -living-donor renal transplantation is to ensure that the adaptability, safety and health of donors. In order to avoid the omission of important medical information and unnecessary invasive inspection, as well as reducing the fees of medical assessment, the assessment should be based on the familiar, universally recognized, clinical evidence-based and reasonable procedures and the flexible assessment process.
