Wet age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of the severe, irreversible vision loss in individuals over the age of 65 years. Anti-VEGF therapy has been shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of wAMD, which is the front-line therapy admittedly. lt has no clear steady curative effect for some patients even if they accepted repeating Anti-VEGF therapy. For the purpose of visual acuity improved more, a steady flow of new therapy has emerged, such as function towards the same or different targets of antiangiogenesis, consolidating the effect by combination therapy, improving or simplifying the mode of administration, etc. This paper gives a brief review of the progress of anti-VEGF for the therapy in wet age-related macular degeneration.

Objective To evaluate the effect of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) on the treatment of intraocular tumors. Methods A total of 50 patients with intraocular tumors, including 37 choroidal hemangioma, 2 retinal capillary hemangioma, 5 choroidal osteoma, 4 choroidal melanoma, and 2 retinoblastoma (RB) underwent TTT and were followed up for 1～20 months. Results In 30 patients with choroidal hemangioma (average follow-up was 5.1 months), 29 (96.7%) had pigment scarring in different levels and the retinal detachemnts were partly or completely recovered; 1 had no obvious improvement. The visual acuity was unchanged in 24 (80.0%) patients, improved in 41 (13.3%) and declined in 2 (6.7%). In 2 patients with retinal capillary hemangioma, no effect was found. In 5 eyes (4 patients) with choroidal osteoma (average follow-up was 6 months), no change of the tumor was found in 1 and the atrophic spots were seen in 4; the visual acuity was unchanged in 3, improved in 1 and declined in 1. In 4 patients with choroidal melanoma (average follow-up was 8 months), the tumor was shrunken in 1, unchanged in 2, and enlarged in 1; the visual acuity was unchanged in 2 and declined in 2. In 2 patients with RB, RB was totally shrunken in 1 and partly shrunken in 1. Visual acuity of one child patient who was followed up for 20 months could not be examined, and was unchanged in another one who was followed up for 3 months. No severe complications were found in the patients during the treatment and the follow-up. Conclusions TTT is effective for the treatment of some intraocular tumors except retinal capillary hemangioma. It is a kind of potential treatment for intraocular tumors with few side-effect.

[Objective]To summarize the professor WU Lianzhong's experience in treatment of spasmodic torticollis and myelitis sequela by using acupuncture,so as to guide clinical practice better.[Methods] From following professor WU Lianzhong clinical studies,studying professor WU Lianzhong's medical cases,introducing Professor WU to treat spasmodic torticollis with Du channel four points and five points and treat myelitis sequela by using acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine,we can summarize his academic thoughts and experience on treating spasmodic torticollis and myelitis sequela.[Results] Professor WU thinks the key pathogenesis of Du channel type spastic torticollis is Orifices blocked and consciousness delirium,so the treatment principle is to clear the heart and reduce the fire,and regulate consciousness,at the same time strengthen the Du channel and break the nodules,this method is effective in clinical treatment.He holds that the etiology and pathogenesis of myelitis mainly for lack of spirit,attack of exogenous pathogens,prolonged illness lead to deficiency of liver and kidney,qi and blood deficiency,all these lead to tendon and vessel malnutrition.The cardinal treatment principle is to nourish liver and kidney,tonify qi and blood,dredge the channels and collaterals,also comprehensivey treat this disease by acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine,the clinical effect is satisfying.[Conclusion] Professor WU's experience in treatment of Du channel type spasmodic torticollis and myelitis sequela is worth studying and popularizing in clinic.
