Objective To observe liver functional lesion caused by combination chemotherapy containing or not containing oxaliplatin. Methods Data from 42 patients with liver functional lesion caused by chemotherapy between March 2005 and October 2007 were analyzed. All patients were diagnosed through histology or cytology detection and received chemotherapy only. Different drugs were. admitted,based on different tumors. Before chemotherapy, each patient had normal liver function without liver lesions such as liver metastasis, Hepatitis B and C, hepatic cirrhosis, etc. Furthermore, 22 received FOLFOX-4 in containing oxaliplatin group while the remaining 20 received chemotherapy excluding oxaliplatin. When liver functional lesion without the influence of any liver protectant was first observed, ALT, AST, TBIL, DBIL, IBIL, ALP, GGT and the WHO criteria of liver toxicity were analyzed. T test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for data analysis. Results All together 90 cycles, median 2.14 cycles, were given. According to WHO criteria of liver toxicity, 13 cases were in grade O, 21 in grade Ⅰ, 7 in grade Ⅱ, and 1 in grade Ⅲ. ALT and AST were significantly high after chemotherapy(P <0.05). Moreover, ALT and AST were significantly higher in containing oxaliplatin group than non oxaliplatin group after chemotherapy(P <0.05). Chemotherapy had no influence on bilirubin. The population distribution of accumulative chemotherapy cycles and WHO criteria of liver toxicity was similar between two groups. Conclusion Before the intervention of liver protectant, combination chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin is more likely to have liver functional lesion than other chemotherapy without oxaliplatin. It mainly presents an increase in transaminase.

Objective To investigate the value of Tei index for estimating right ventricular global function in patients with dissymmetry hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(including obstructive and nonobstructive).Methods Pulsed wave Doppler of transtricuspid flow and transpulmonic valve flow were performed in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy(HOCM,n=28),hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy(HNCM,n=34), and healthy control subjects(n=30) at apical four-chamber view and short-axis view of aortic root,and Tei index was calculated.Results~①Accelerating contraction time/right ventricular ejection time(ACT/RVET),isovolumetric contraction time(ICT),isovolumetric relaxation time(IRT),isovolumetric contraction time+isovolumetric relaxation time(ICT+IRT),right ventricular ejection time(RVET),ACT/RVET and Tei index[(ICT+IRT)/RVET] showed no significant changes between the groups of HOCM and HNCM.②Tei index was distinctly different between patients with HCM and control subjects(P

Objective To analyze imaging findings of IPH and to study the correlation between the HRCT findings and the pulmonary function of IPH.Methods The information of 15 children with IPH were reviewed.Results The X-ray findings of IPH included ground glass opacity(n=9),exudative shadows(n=10),reticulonodular shadows(n=7),nodular shadows(n=6).The HRCT signs included abnormal bronchovascular bundles(n=12),ground glass opacity(n=12),exudative shadows ( n=11 ) ,disseminated micronodular shadows ( n=8 ) , thickened pulmonary lobular septa ( n=9 ) . The correlation between ground glass opacity and pulmonary function was 0.5394 ( P=0.134); The correlation between thickened pulmonary lobular septa and the pulmonary function was 0.9963(P=0.0001).Conclusion The HRCT examination is better than the X-ray examination. The positive correlation between thickened pulmonary lobular septa and pulmonary function change is significant,it is beneficial to estimate the damage of the palmonary.

Objective To investigate the effect of different cryopreservation time on energy metabolism and reperfusion injury in rat to rat liver transplantation and the mechanism of liver function recovery in early period after operation.Methods The cryopreservation time of donor livers from 90 Wistar rats were 30 min,6 or 12 h in 4 ℃ UW solution.Then orthotopic liver transplantation were performed in another 90 Wistar rats.Another 6 rats served as normal controls.At 12 h,24 h,3 d,5 d,7 d after portal vein reperfusion,blood and liver tissue were obtained to determine the levels of ALT,AST,SOD,ATPase and ATP,and the pathologic changes of liver tissue were observed.Results At 12 h after operation,the levels of ALT and AST were significantly higher(P

AlM: To research the characteristics of positive relative accommodation ( PRA) , negative relative accommodation (NRA) and PRA/NRA ratio in myopes. To analyze the relationship among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree, years and habbits of wearing glasses, myopia development, and pupil diameter.METHODS: Aretrospective study of ninety eyes in the 180 th Hospital of Quanzhou from August 2014 to December 2014. PRA, NRA and PRA/NRA ratio were compared among low, moderate, high myopes and emmetropes. The correlation were analyzed among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree, years and habbits of wearing glasses, myopia development and pupil diameter. PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, years and habbits of wearing glasses and pupil diameter were compared between progress group and non-progress group.RESULTS: ( 1 ) Without statistical differences in age, sex and intraocular pressure, PRA and PRA/NRA ratio of myopes were lower than emmetropes, while NRA was higher. (2) Without statistical differences in age, sex and intraocular pressure, PRA, PRA/NRA ratio and NRA had no statistical differences while years and habbits of wearing glasses had statistical differences among low, moderate, high myopes. ( 3 ) With longer years of wearing glasses, PRA, PRA/NRA ratio were larger and NRA, pupils were smaller. ( 4 ) Without statistical differences in age, diopter and intraocular pressure, one group which were not easy to deepen degree had more often-wear-glasses myopia patiens and longer years of wearing glasses, the other group which were easy to deepen degree had more seldom-wear-glasses myopia patiens and shorter years of wearing glasses.CONCLUSlON: PRA and PRA/NRA ratio of myopes were lower than emmetropes, while NRA was higher. No correlated relation was detected among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree and myopia development. lt suggests the onset and progress of myopia are related to many factors. Wearing-glass timely and accurately can release the decline of PRA and PRA/NRA ratio and slow down degree development in myopes.

Objective · To investigate the effect of metformin on insulin resistance (IR)-related metabolic parameters in olanzapine-bearing rats.Methods · Thirty female SD rats were randomly divided into metformin intervention group, olanzapine group and control group. During the first 6 weeks,5 mg /(kg·d) olanzapine was given to the two test groups . The control group was given the same amount of saline. From the 7th week, the intervention group began to combine with metformin 500 mg / (kg·d), while the olanzapine group combined with the same amount of saline, continuing for 4 weeks.At the end of 6th week and 10th week, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance and homeostasis model assessment IR index were assessed. Results · The area under the glucose tolerance curve (P=0.040) and the IR index (P=0.000) were significantly higher for the intervention group and the olanzapine group than the control group at the end of 6th week. At the 10th weekend, the glucose tolerance (P=0.015) and IR index in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the olanzapine group (P=0.001). Conclusion · Metformin may rectify the impaired glucose tolerance and improve IR induced by olanzapine partly.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of combined therapy for amblyopia in children by making use of pattern visual evoked potential ( P-VEP) game.
METHODS: This was a prospective case control study. These asthenopic children were divided into two groups. The control group ( 66 eyes of 49 patients ): occlusive therapy with glasses, cover, precision work, red light treatment and so on, later the stereo vision training was added. The experimental group (72 eyes of 52 patients):conventional methods mentioned above with P - VEP games.
RESULTS: The total effective rate and cure rate of experimental group in 6mo were higher than those of control group. The overall effective rate was 94. 4% in the experimental group and 83. 3% in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between them (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: The comprehensive therapy by making use of P-VEP game is an individualized effective new way in treating amblyopia.
