? AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in the treatment of shallow anterior chamber with cataract.?METHODS: Retrospective case series. From February 2014 to July 2015 in our hospital,65 eyes in 65 patients with cataract were enrolled and divided into mild and high risk of shallow anterior chamber group. Best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , central anterior chamber dept ( CACD ) , angle opening distance ( AOD ) , complications pre- and post treatment, were observed and analyzed as outcome measures.?RESULTS: In this study, the mild shallow anterior chamber group included 34 eyes; postoperative BCVA were improved in 29 eyes, with 4 eyes remaining stable and decreased in 1 eye; BCVA was improved in 16 eyes, with 10 eyes remaining stable and decreased in 5 eyes in high risk of shallow anterior chamber group postoperatively. BCVA had a better prognosis in the mild shallow anterior chamber group than another group ( t=-2. 956, P<0. 05). Meanwhile, IOP decreased by 5. 71± 2. 07mmHg and CACD increased by 1. 37 ± 0. 38mm in the mild shallow anterior chamber group, by 9. 77±4. 04mmHg and 1. 67±0. 43mm respectively in high risk group, and the difference has statistical significance ( t=-5. 02,-3. 04; P<0. 05). The mean preoperative nasal AOD500 was 200. 57± 33. 74μm, and they were 346. 62 ± 101. 37μm and 410. 75 ± 137. 48μm and 398. 69 ± 122. 28μm respectively at postoperative 1d, 1 and 3mo, and all nAOD500 comparing with preoperative were increased obviously, and the difference has statistical significance (F=203. 75, P<0. 01). And AOD500 at temporal, superior and inferior presented similar trends. Complications were corneal edema ( 5 eyes ) , transient intraocular hypertension ( 2 eyes ) , posterior capsular opacification ( 4 eyes ) , and posterior capsular rupture (1 eye).?CONCLUSION:Micro incision cataract surgery is useful, effective and safe in patients with cataract and shallow anterior chamber which can stabilize or improve BCVA, reduce IOP, deepen CACD and open the anterior chamber angle.

AIM: To investigate the regulatory effects of nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) on the expression of ectopic trypsin and proinflammatory cytokines in influenza A virus (IAV)-induced myocardi-tis.METHODS:Male BALB/c mice of 8 weeks old ( n=40) were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group ( NC) , infection control group ( IC) , NF-κB inhibitor group ( NI) and AP-1 inhibitor group ( AI) .The mice in NC group and IC group were instilled intranasally with 15μL saline and 40 plaque forming units ( PFU) IAV, respectively.The mice in NI group and AI group were infected intranasally with 40 PFU IAV and injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate ( PDTC) or 2.5 mg/kg AP-1 inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid ( NDGA) once daily. The mice were euthanized at day 9 after instillation, and the hearts were removed for pathological and biochemical analysis. RESULTS:IAV infection induced significant up-regulation of ectopic trypsin, and proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-1βand tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the myocardium, and triggered acute myocarditis.PDTC signifi-cantly inhibited NF-κB activation and up-regulation of ectopic trypsin and proinflammatory cytokines, and effectively sup-pressed IAV replication and myocardial inflammatory response (P<0.01).NDGA effectively inhibited AP-1 activity (P<0.01) and mildly suppressed up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines ( P<0.05) , but had no effects on the expression of ectopic trypsin, IAV replication and the extent of myocarditis ( P>0.05) .CONCLUSION:IAV infection induces up-regulation of ectopic trypsin and proinflammatory cytokines in myocardium predominantly by the activation of NF-κB.AP-1 signaling pathway might be only partially involved in the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of multiple target burst frequency thermocoagulation in treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods One hundred and twelve patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation were treated with stepped heating multiple target burst frequency thermocoagulation using of domestic R-2000B radiofrequency ablation machine.The visual analogue scale (VAS) score,Oswestry disability index (ODI) and effect of grade before operation and after operation were compared.Results The VAS score before operation was (7.60 ± 1.12) scores,3 d after operation was (3.10 ± 1.05) scores,6 months after operation was (2.90 ± 0.92) scores,there was significant difference between before operation and 3 d,6 months after operation (P ＜ 0.05).The ODI before operation was 47.6 ± 8.3,3 months after operation was 25.5 ± 6.7,6 months after operation was 23.7 ± 6.2,there was significant difference between before operation and 3,6 months after operation (P ＜0.05).The clinical efficacy:excellent grade was in 66 cases,the good was in 32 cases,the improvement was in 10 cases,the inefficacy was in 4 cases,the excellent and good rate was 87.5％ (98/112).There was no nerve injury,infection or death after operation.Conclusion Multiple target burst frequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation has the advantages of little incision and tissue damage,fast recovery,good clinical outcome,it is worth to clinical practice.

Objective To perform comparative proteomic analysis of human ovarian cancer cell lines for detecting platinum-resistance associated proteins.Methods The total proteins of two sensitive (SKOV3 and A2780)and four resistant(SKOV3/CDDP,SKOV3/CBP,A2780/CDDP and A2780/CBP) human ovarian cancer cell lines were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE).The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using image analysis software,stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue,then identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS)and database searching.The mRNA and protein levels of the differentially expressed protein which was most significant in all of the four resistant cell lines were validated by RT-PCR and western blotting,respectively.Results Five proteins were found to be significant in four cell lines. Annexin A3 and destrin were up-regulated and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADP)- dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 was down-regulated in all the four resistant samples.Glutathione transferase omega 1 had an increased expression in the other three resistant cell lines except for SKOV3/CBP in which its expression was not changed.However,cofilin 1 represented a different trend.In the two resistant sublines of SKOV3,eofilin 1 had a down-regulation,but it had an up-regulation in the cell lines induced from SKOV3.The expression of annexin A3 was up-regulated by 3-20 fold and the results of RT- PCR and western blotting showed complete consistency with that by 2-DE.Conclusions Proteomic techniques are useful to the identification of the resistance-associated proteins in ovarian cancer platinum- resistant cell lines and five candidates have been found.The five differential proteins might become hopeful candidate biomarkers for resistance.

Objective To study on the efficacy of Octreotide prophylaxis of post ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) and hyperamylasemia. Methods The study was conducted in 12 digestive endoscopic units in China. Patients were randomized into two groups. Octreotide group: Octreotide (0. 3mg) were dissolved in 500 ml of 0.9% saline solution and administrated by continues intravenous infusion, beginning 1 hr before the endoscopic examination and continuing for 6 hr afterward, 0. 1 mg Octreotide were injected subcutaneously at 6h, 12h after the intravenous injection stopped. Control group was given a placebo (saline solution) intravenously without subcutaneous injection. Results A total of 961 patients were accepted in the study, 832 patients were enrolled in the final analysis, Octreotide group 414 cases, and control group 418 cases. The overall incidence of acute pancreatitis was 3.85% (32/832) .which includec 2.42% (10/414) in Octreotide group and 5. 26% (22/418) in control group (P =0. 046). Incidence of hyperamylasemia was 14. 9% (124/ 832) which included 12. 32% (51/414) in Octreotide group and 17. 46% (73/418) in controlled group (P = 0. 041). The two groups were matched in many basic aspects, such as sex, age, contrast agent, indication of ERCP, the times of visualization of pancreatic duct and bile duct, etc. There was no side effect associated with Octreotide found. Conclusion The results of this trial indicate that Octreotide can prevent post ERCP pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia.

Objective To explore the minimal residual disease (MRD) and cellular chimerism in patients with hematopoietic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods From May 2001 to June 2005,83 patients received allo-HSCT,including 55 males and 28 females. Of them 49 patients received sibling HLA-matched bone marrow transplantation (BMT),3 HLA-matched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation,8 un-related BMT,9 nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST) and 14 related haploidentical transplantation. Among them,49 patients were diagnosed as having CML,16 having AML,16 having ALL,one having multiple myeloma and one having malignant lymphoma. Chimerism and MRD were monitored by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using X and Y specific centromeric probes or gene probes for BCR/ABL,MLL and AML1/ETO. 1000 cells were analyzed for each sample.Results Among 19 patients receiving sex-matched transplant,the former chromosome rearrangements were not found in 16 patients after transplantation,MRD was detected in 10 % of cells in one patient and 1 % of cells having MRD in 4th month after the reduction of immunotherapy,and the patients were still in remission one year after transplantation. Two patients were found having the former chromosomal rearrangement 1 and 4 months after transplantation,respectively,who did not achieve remission after chemotherapy. Over 99 % donor chimerisms were found in 50 patients on day 25,donor cells were at a low level ( 96.2 % ~ 98.7 % ) in 7 patients on day 25,and increased over 99 % later. They were in remission without relapse. The donor chimerisms were decreased gradually in other 7 patients,of them 3 patients with the host cells above 10 % showed hematologic relapse. Four patients with the host cells between 2 %~5 % had different outcomes: 2 patients died of severe GVHD after the reduction of cyclosporine A,one patient got a donor chimerism over 99 % after reduction of immunotherapy,and one patient was still in complete remission.Conclusions FISH could play a pivotal role in the detection of MRD and chimerism. It is helpful to the evaluation of graft and relapse and to the guide of intervention of early immunotherapy.
