Objective To observe the clinical effect of intravenous thrombolytic therapy for central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) with poor effect after the treatment of arterial thrombolytic therapy.Methods Twenty-four CRAO patients (24 eyes) with poor effect after the treatment of arterial thrombolytic therapy were enrolled in this study.There were 11 males and 13 females.The age was ranged from 35 to 80 years,with the mean age of (56.7± 15.6) years.There were 11 right eyes and 13 left eyes.The visual acuity was tested by standard visual acuity chart.The arm-retinal circulation time (A-Rct) and the filling time of retinal artery and its branches (FT) were detected by fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA).The visual acuity was ranged from light sensation to 0.5,with the average of 0.04±0.012.The A-Rct was ranged from 18.0 s to 35.0 s,with the mean of (29.7±5.8) s.The FT was ranged from 4.0 s to 16.0 s,with the mean of (12.9±2.3) s.All patients were treated with urokinase intravenous thrombolytic therapy.The dosage ofurokinase was 3000 U/kg,2 times/d,adding 250 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride intravenous drip,2 times between 8-10 h,and continuous treatment of FFA after 5 days.Comparative analysis was performed on the visual acuity of the patients before and after treatment,and the changes of A-Rct and FT.Results After intravenous thrombolytic therapy,the A-Rct was ranged from 16.0 s to 34.0 s,with the mean of (22.4 ±5.5) s.Among 24 eyes,the A-Rct was 27.0-34.0 s in 4 eyes (16.67%),18.0-26.0 s in 11 eyes (45.83%);16.0-17.0 s in 9 eyes (37.50%).The FT was ranged from 2.4 s to 16.0 s,with the mean of (7.4± 2.6) s.Compared with before intravenous thrombolytic therapy,the A-Rct was shortened by 7.3 s and the FT was shortened by 5.5 s with the significant differences (x2=24.6,24.9;P<0.01).After intravenous thrombolytic therapy,the visual acuity was ranged from light sensation to 0.6,with the average of 0.08 ± 0.011.There were 1 eye with vision of light perception (4.17%),8 eyes with hand movement/20 cm (33.33%),11 eyes with 0.02-0.05 (45.83%),2 eyes with 0.1-0.2 (8.33%),1 eye with 0.5 (4.17%) and 1 eye with 0.6 (4.17%).The visual acuity was improved in 19 eyes (79.17%).The difference of visual acuity before and after intravenous thrombolytic therapy was significant (x2=7.99,P<0.05).There was no local and systemic adverse effects during and after treatment.Conclusion Intravenous thrombolytic therapy for CRAO with poor effect after the treatment of arterial thrombolytic therapy can further improve the circulation of retinal artery and visual acuity.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal cocoon.Methods:The clinical data of 8 patients with abdominal cocoon in our hospital from Jan 2015 to Dec 2021 were retrospectively reviewed including clinical and imaging manifestations, treatment and follow-up.Results:One case was asymptomatic, and the other 7 cases suffered from recurrent abdominal pain with complete or incomplete intestinal obstruction. The median course of disease was 6 months (15 days to 40 years). Six cases underwent laparcoscopic cocoon membrane resection and intestinal adhesion lysis, of which 2 cases underwent laparotomy, one case was converted to open surgery, 4 cases underwent concomitant appendectomy. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 69 months, there were 2 cases complicating early inflammatory intestinal obstruction, 1 case suffred wound fat liquefaction and infection, 1 case with a colic 5 months after operation, and the others were doing well.Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of abdominal cocoon disease are not typical. Surgery is the main treatment. The prognosis of the disease is generally fair.

Objective:
To compare the clinical effects of urokinase thrombolytic therapy for optic artery occlusion (OAO) and retinal artery occlusion (RAO) caused by facial microinjection with hyaluronic acid and spontaneous RAO.
Methods:
From January 2014 to February 2018, 22 eyes of 22 patients with OAO and RAO caused by facial microinjection of hyaluronic acid who received treatment in Xi'an Fourth Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study (hyaluronic acid group). Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients with spontaneous RAO were selected as the control group. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. FFA was used to measure arm-retinal circulation time (A-Rct) and filling time of retinal artery and its branches (FT). Meanwhile, MRI examination was performed. There were significant differences in age and FT between the two groups (

Objective:
To investigate the physical properties of Ti-6Al-4V clasps generated by selective laser melting (SLM) with different construction directions and to compare these clasps with cast clasps, which could provide a basis for fabricating SLM clasps with high precision and excellent mechanical properties.
Methods:
Ti-6Al-4V clasps were fabricated by SLM at 0 degrees (SLM0 group), 45 degrees (SLM45 group) and 90 degrees (SLM90 group) (n = 12). Twelve clasps were cast by the casting method as the control group. Meanwhile, four metal abutments were cast randomly as the abutments of the four groups. X-ray was used to detect cracks in the clasps of each group. The roughness of the clasps was measured by confocal microscopy, the fitness tests between clasps and abutment were processed by stereomicroscopy, and the microstructure of clasps in each group was observed under a metallographic microscope to evaluate the physical properties.
Results :
There were 0-8 visible cracks in the casting group but no obvious defects in the SLM groups. The maximum surface roughness was observed in the cast group (18.102 ± 3.762) μm, while the minimum roughness was observed in the SLM90 group (5.942 ± 1.486) μm (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in surface roughness between the SLM0 group [(8.711 ± 2.378) μm] and the SLM45 group [(8.513 ± 1.161) μm]. Fitness was worst in the casting group [(68.445 ± 14.876) μm] and best in the SLM90 group [(33.417 ± 5.880) μm] (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in fitness between the SLM0 group [(52.917 ± 12.102) μm] and the SLM45 group [(50.889 ± 7.011) μm]. In addition, the growth direction of the β grains was roughly parallel to the build direction, and acicular α grains were present between β grains. SLM was composed of fine grains, while the cast group had large grains.
Conclusions
Specimens generated by SLM had finer grains than cast specimens. In addition, SLM90 clasps had the highest fitness and the lowest surface roughness.
