Objective:To observe the changes of the structure and visual function of the retina in patients with or without the ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFL) and to explore the factors influencing the recovery of visual function in patients with idiopathic epimacular membrane (IMEM).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From March 2015 to June 2019, 90 patients with MEM who were diagnosed by Ophthalmic Center of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled in the study. All patients were examined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and frequency domain optical coherence scan. BCVA was recorded by Snellen vision table, and it was converted into the minimum resolution angle logarithm (logMAR) vision. Among 90 eyes, IMEM grade 2-4 was 68 (75.6%, 68/90), 18 (20.0%, 18/90), 4 (4.4%, 4/90), respectively. According to this, the grade 2 was set as group A, and the grade 3 and grade 4 were combined to group B. There was no significant difference in age ( t=0.015), sex composition ratio of patients between two groups ( χ2=0.060) and the average of central macular thickness (CMT) ( F=2.277) ( P=0.904, 0.809, 0.141). The difference of average logMAR and BCVA was statistically significant ( F=35.913, P=0.000). All patients underwent 25G pars plana three channel vitrectomy with simultaneous removal of epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane. BCVA, CMT and improvement of IMEM grading were observed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation. BCVA, EIFL thickness and CMT were compared before and after operation by single factor repeated variance analysis; Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the changes of the anatomical structure of the eyes in the two groups at 12 months after operation. Results:1, 3, 6, 12 months after operation, the average eyes of logMAR BCVA in group A were 0.50±0.13, 0.38±0.12, 0.27±0.12, 0.19±0.10. The patients in group B were 0.66±0.14, 0.60±0.13, 0.54±0.14, 0.52±0.14. CMT in group A were 364.82±81.29, 281.65±72.45, 228.55±55.34, 182.84±56.13 μm. The patients in group B were 455.88±69.60, 440.18±68.65, 383.76±65.38, 371.39±66.60 μm. The difference was statistically significant in the two groups (BCVA: F=37.913, 11.479, 24.250, 39.013; P=0.000, 0.002, 0.000, 0.000. CMT: F=10.987, 39.610, 55.789, 79.987; P=0.002, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000). In group A, IMEM was improved to 57 eyes of grade 1 on 12 months after operation. Among the 18 eyes in group B, IMEM was improved to 1 and 3 eyes in level 1 and level 2, respectively, and no improvement was found in 4 eyes in grade 4. The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.000) in the improvement of the number of eyes in the two groups. Conclusions:The patients with IMEM without EIFL have better visual prognosis and reversible anatomical changes. EIFL is an important factor affecting the visual function and anatomical structure recovery after operation.

OBJECTIVE:To study ongoing change characteristics of the contents of syringin and total flavonoids in different medicinal parts (root bark ,tree bark ,leaf)of Toricellia angulata from Guizhou ,and to provide reference for the development and application of T. angulata . METHODS :The root bark ,tree bark and leaf parts of T. angulata during different harvesting periods (Jan.-Dec.) were taken as the research samples. The content of syringin was determined by HPLC. The determination was performed on Agela Promosil C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.5% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile (gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set as 210 nm,and column temperature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 5 μL. The content of total flavonoids was determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry under detection wavelength of 510 nm. RESULTS :The linear range of syringin and total flavonoids were 0.095 9-1.150 8 mg/mL(r=0.999 6)and 0.072 2- 1.083 0 mg/mL(r=0.999 9),respectively. RSDs of precision ,stability and repeatability tests were all less than 3%(n=6). The average recoveries were 101.74%(RSD=2.36% ,n=6)and 99.63%(RSD=2.19% ,n=6),respectively. During different harvesting periods ,the contents of syringin in root bark ,tree bark ,leaf of T. angulata collected on Aug. ,May and Sept. were the highest,and the contents of total flavonoids in samples collected on Feb. ,Dec. and Sept. were the highest. The contents of syringin in different medicinal parts of T. angulata were in descending order as follows as tree bark >root bark >leaf,and the content of syringin was commonly relatively high in tree bark part ;the content of total flavonoids in different medicinal parts of T. angulata were in descending order as follows as root bark >tree bark >leaf,and the contents of total flavonoids in three medicinal parts was generally low. The content of total flavonoids in root bark was the highest in Feb. of that year ,and the content of syringin in root bark at same month was second only to Aug. of that year ;the content of syringin in tree bark was the highest in May ,and the content of total flavonoids in tree bark at same month was second only to Oct. and Dec. of that year ;the contents of total flavonoids and syringin in leaf were the highest in Sept. of that year. CONCLUSIONS :It is suggested that Feb. is the best time for harvesting root bark ,May for tree bark and Sept. for leaf of T. angulata .

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of Huoxue Jieyu decoction (HJD) on patients with depression after craniotomy.
METHODSNinety patients were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the sequence of their consultation. The 45 patients in the treated group were treated with conventional symptomatic treatment plus oral administration of HJD, and the 38 patients in the control group were treated in the same way but with chlorimipramine (anafranil) instead of HJD. Hamilton depression (HAMD) scores before and after treatment, occurrence of adverse effects and long-term therapeutic effect of treatment were observed.
RESULTSThe score of HAMD was insignificantly different in 2 groups before and after treatment (P >0.05), but the occurrence of adverse effects between them was significantly different (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe therapeutic effect of HJD on depression was similar to that of anafranil, but HJD has less adverse effect and more stabilized long-term effect.

Background Cornea astigmatism can be effectively corrected by implanting Toric intraocular lens (IOL) during cataract surgery and therefore improve visual acuity of patients.However,the decentration and rotation position errors were inevitable sometime.What's the difference of effect of position errors on quality of image between spherical IOL and Toric IOL needs further research.Objective This study was to evaluate the optical performance and wavefront with rotation and decentration of Toric IOL.Methods Different decentration for SN60AT IOL(spherical IOL) and Toric IOL in Hwey-Lan Lion model eyes was set with the role as follows:decentration 0.25 mm to 0.75 mm in a 5°-interval from 0° to 90°.Furthermore,Toric IOL was rotated at 5° and 10°,respectively.Then the image performances of SN60AT IOL and Toric IOL at different decentration distances and rotated degrees were evaluated with modulation transfer function (MTF) and value of wavefront aberration under all conditions.Results At the centration,the MTF curves of spherical IOL and Toric IOL were similar under 3,4 and 5 mm pupil diameter at each spatial frequency.Under the condition of 4 mm pupil diameter,when the decentration was 0.25 mm,the MTF values of SN60AT IOL at 6 c/d and 12 c/d were 0.581 087 and 0.411 960,respectively.T3 IOL were 0.454 259 and 0.382 313,T4 IOL were 0.426 020 and 0.360 490,T5 IOL were 0.425 606 and 0.359 877.When the decentration was 0.50 mm,the MTF values of SN60AT at 6 c/d and 12 c/d were 0.573 073 and 0.412 787,respectively.T3 IOL were 0.450943 and 0.379481,T4 IOL were 0.423 153 and 0.356 664,T5 IOL were 0.422 881 and 0.356 230.When the decentration was 0.75 mm,the MTF values of SN60AT at 6 c/d and 12 c/d were 0.560 038 and 0.413 624,respectively.T3 IOL were 0.445 597 and 0.374 322,T4 IOL were 0.418 522 and 0.350 087,T5 IOL were 0.418 468 and 0.349 976.When the IOL decentralized along 0°,5°,10°,90°meridian line,the MTF values were almostly same.The root mean square (RMS) of spherical IOL and Toric IOL was increased when the IOL decentralized from 0 mm to 0.75 mm,with the most increasing level in coma aberration and slight increase in trefoil aberration.When the T4 IOL decentralized from centre to 0.75 mm,the coma increased from 0 to C(3,-1)-0.049 79 μm,C (3,1)-0.037 59 μm and the trefoil aberration increased from 0 to C (3,3) 0.005 72 μm,C (3,-3) 0.004 64 μm.With the increase of rotation degrees (from 5°to 10°) of Toric IOL,the MTF was worse at high spatial frequency.Toric IOL rotation caused the increase of astigmatism and residual astigmatism and spherical error,but not high order aberration.Conclusions The tolerance of Toric IOL to decentration is very close to the spherical IOL,and optical performance is only associated with the amount of decentration but not direction.The aberration caused by Toric IOL decentration is mainly coma.The rotation of Toric IOL causes astigmatism error but not high order aberrations.

The clinicopathological data of 38 EGC patients who were admitted to the Subei Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from July 2018 to May 2021 were collected. There were 18 males and 20 females, aged 60 (range, 39?73) years. All patients underwent TLPPG with preservation of the first branch of the right gastroepiploic vein.Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative condi-tions; (2) postoperative histopathological examination. (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination, WeChat interview and medical record review to detect the nutritional status, residual stomach function, cholecystolithiasis, tumor recurrence and metastasis and death of patients. Follow-up was up to July 2022. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative conditions. All 38 patients underwent TLPPG with preservation of the first branch of the right gastroepiploic vein successfully, without laparotomy conversion. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative first liquid food intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 38 patients were (180±28)minutes, (58±38)mL, (2.7±0.6)days, (3.4±0.7)days and (10.3±2.8)days, respectively. Of the 38 patients, there were 6 cases with postoperative complications ≥grade Ⅱ of Clavien-Dindo classification. (2) Postoperative histopatho-logical examination. The tumor diameter, distance from proximal resection margin to tumor and distance from distal resection margin to tumor of the 38 patients were (1.8±0.5)cm, (3.4±0.2)cm and (4.3±0.4)cm, respectively. Both of proximal and distal resection margin was negative. Numbers of lymph node examined and numbers of lymph node examined in the No.6 lymph node of the 38 patients were 23.3±3.9 and 3.4±1.1, respectively. There were 38 cases with pathological T1 stage including 23 cases of T1a stage and 15 cases of T1b stage. There were 36 cases with pathological N0 stage and 2 cases with pathological N1 stage. There were 36 cases with pathological ⅠA stage and 2 cases with pathological ⅠB stage of TNM staging. (3) Follow-up. All 38 patients were followed up for 18(range, 12?48)months. The hemoglobin, serum albumin and total serum protein of the 38 patients were (125.4±5.8)g/L, (42.4±2.3)g/L and (71.6±2.1)g/L, respectively, at postoperative 6 month. Endo-scopy was used to evaluate the function of residual stomach of patients at postoperative 12 month. There were 4 patients with moderate amount of food remaining in the residual stomach. No patient suffered reflux esophagitis, reflux gastritis and bile reflux. None of the 38 patients received post-operative chemotherapy, and there was no tumor recurrence and metastasis or death occured in patient.Conclusion:TLPPG with preservation of the first branch of the right gastroepiploic vein is safe and feasible for the treatment of EGC patients with tumor located at 1/3 of the middle segment of stomach.

Objective To investigate the differences of gut microbiota in patients with schizophrenia between onset and remission. Methods Twelve patients with schizophrenia in the stage of onset were selected as the episode group. Thirteen gender-, age-and BMI-matched patients with schizophrenia during the remission period were selected as the control group. The fecal specimens of the two groups were collected for high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and the gut microbiota differences between the two groups were analyzed. Results The chao index and ace index of gut microbiota was lower in the episode group than in the control group (t=2.385,P=0.026; t=3.068,P=0.005). The relative abundance of Bacteroides was higher and the relative abundance of Prevotella was lower in the episodes group than in the control group (Z=-2.013, P =0.044; Z=-3.427, P=0.001). The relative abundance of the Prevotella was negatively correlated with the PANSS score (r=-0.577, P=0.003). Conclusion Schizophrenia in the stage of acute episode have altered gut microbiota compared with those in the stage of remission and the gut microbiota is significantly corrected with mental symptoms.
