Objective: Our purpose was to observe the effect of epithelial scrape injury on corneal morphology. Methods: Twenty 4-week-old white rabbits were used. We scraped the corneal epithelia of the left eye of each rabbit (0.2 mm near the limbus of corneal were left in 10 eyes, in the remaining rabbits within 8 mm in the center). The right eyes were control group. We observed the healing of corneal protrusion with slit-lamp microscope, examined the corneal form with corneal topography, and measured the depth of anterior chamber and the corneal thickness with A-ultrasound. Results: The extensive epithelial scrape significantly increased the healing time. The corneal protrusion of experimental group and the depth of anterior chamber increased. The corneal thickness became thinner. Conclusion: The extensive epithelial injury can make cornea thinner, which results in the changes of corneal protrusion.

International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2019;42(2):134-138
Objective To systematically evaluate the prognostic significance of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in pT1 stage bladder urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation. Methods The clinical and patholog-ical data of 105 patients with pT1 stage urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation and transurethral resec-tion of bladder tumor (TURBT) were retrospectively analyzed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to determine the presence of LVI in tumor tissues. All patients were divided into LVI-negative group and LVI-positive group according to LVI. The relationship between LVI and clinicopathological features and 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate was analyzed. Patients with relapse were divided into TURBT group and radi-cal cystectomy (RC) group according to the surgical method, and the effects of the methods on CSS were compared. Results There are 57 patients (27.6%) had LVI. In the LVI-negative group, the 5-year CSS was 84.9%, while that in the LVI-positive group was 58.4%, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that tumor multiple appearance, tumor size, recurrence and LVI were significantly correlated with CSS (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size and LVI had significant effects on CSS (all P<0.05). In the relapsed pa-tients with LVI-positive, RC had a higher CSS than TURBT (P=0.042). In the relapsed patients with LVI-negative, the difference between the two methods was not statistically significant (P=0.692). Conclusions LVI is an important prognostic factor in pT1 stage urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation. Patients with LVI and tumor size>3 cm have a higher risk of death. Patients with pT1 stage urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, espe-cially those with LVI, should be treated with RC as soon as possible.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of hybrid operation suite in the treatment of cerebral and spinal vascular diseases and intracranial hypervascular tumors.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on 132 patients with various cerebral and spinal vascular diseases and intracranial hypervascular tumors who were treated by hybrid surgery at Department of Neurosurgery, Huashan Hospital from October 2016 to December 2017.There were 70 male and 62 female patients with a mean age of 48.33 years (range: 14-78 years), including 64 cases of intracranial aneurysm (41 complicated aneurysm cases), 28 cases of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM), 12 cases of hypervascular tumor, 12 cases of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), 6 cases of carotid artery stenosis, 5 cases of Moyamoya disease, 3 cases of intracranial aneurysm or BAVM combined with tumor, 1 case of scalp arteriovenous fistula and 1 case of critical brain trauma in which a foreign metal stick approached the basal vascular circuit.Abnormalities were found in 16 cases in intraoperative angiography. The clinical data of all patients was collected as a perspective cohort. The success rate of hybrid surgery, intra-operative and post-operative complications, morbidity, mortality, rate of infection, the length of hospital stay were all analyzed to illustrate the effect of hybrid operation mode to traditional surgical pattern.
Results:
For 64 cases with intracranial aneurysms, the immediate complete occlusion rate was 90.5%, with a mortality of 4.7% and a morbidity of 14.0%. For 28 cases of BAVM and 12 cases of DAVF, all patients achieved total obliteration and favorable social independent outcomes after hybrid surgery, with no complication.For 6 cases of carotid artery stenosis and 5 cases of Moyamoya, intra-operative confirmed good cerebral reperfusion without any new post-operative neurologic deficits. After tumor vessels embolization, 4 out of 12 cases of hypervascular tumor needed intra-operative blood transfusion, and all patients achieved total tumor resection in a single stage. Only one patient with medulla oblongata hemangioblastoma died 6 months after operation due to respiratory deficit related pneumonia. Compared to traditional surgeries, the hybrid operation pattern did not significantly increase the total infection rate, central nervous system infection rate, hospital stay days and post-operative hospital stay days (all

Objective To investigate spatial distribution and temporal trend of main water-soluble inorganic ions in PM2.5 of Wuhan. Methods PM2.5 samples were simultaneously collected at 5 sites in Wuhan from January 2017 to December 2017 (7 consecutive days per month). The main water-soluble ions in PM2.5 were determined by weighing method and ion chromatography. The seasonal variations and spatial distribution differences were analyzed. Results The results showed that the mass concentration of PM2.5 in Wuhan changed in different seasons. It was highest in winter, followed by spring and autumn, and lowest in summer. There were obvious seasonal changes in the mass concentrations and proportions of distinct ions. The concentrations of the four detected water-soluble inorganic ions were highest in winter. SO42- had highest concentration and proportion, followed by NO3- and NH4+, and Cl- was the lowest. In terms of spatial distribution, the total ion concentration and proportion was the largest in Wuchang and the lowest in Dongxihu. Conclusion The seasonal variation of main water-soluble inorganic ions in PM2.5 was obvious, and the spatial distribution was also different in Wuhan.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the value of serum IgA/C3 ratio in the diagnosis of IgA nephropathy and explore its relationship with the clinicopathological features of the patients.
METHODSSixty-six patients with IgA nephropathy, 111 with other glomerular diseases, and 40 healthy control subjects without kidney disease were tested for serum IgA and C3 levels using CRM470 adjusted standardized immune turbidimetric method, and the IgA/C3 ratio was calculated. According to Oxford and Lee's classification criteria, we analyzed the pathological grades of the renal biopsy samples from patients with IgA nephropathy. The ROC curve was used to assess the value of serum IgA and IgA/C3 ratio in predicting IgA nephropathy.
RESULTSPatients with IgA nephropathy had an elevated serum IgA/C3 ratio than those with other glomerular diseases and the control subjects, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.776. An elevated serum IgA/C3 ratio was not found to significantly correlate with the pathological grade of renal biopsy samples in patients with IgA nephropathy.
CONCLUSIONIn the absence of renal biopsy findings, serum IgA/C3 ratio can help in the diagnosis of IgA nephropathy.

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation of peripheral myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) with hepatitis c virus (HCV) infection. 【Methods】 109 voluntary blood donors who donated blood during February 2018 to September 2020 at Guangzhou Blood Center were recruited in this study. They were assigned to chronic hepatitis c (CHC) group (n=48), spontaneous clearance (SC) group (n=29) and healthy donors (control) group (n=32) according to the results of anti-HCV and HCV RNA tests. Blood samples were drawn from the participants and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were freshly isolated, followed by staining with fluorescently-labeled antibody against cell surface markers of MDSC, which were then applied to the detection of monocytic- (M) and polymorphonuclear (PMN)-MDSC by flow cytometry. Parameters for liver function including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBIL) and direct bilirubin (DBIL) were also measured. One-way ANOVA tests were applied to compare the differences of M- and PMN-MDSC and liver function between three study groups. For pairwise comparisons, P values were adjusted for multiple comparisons by Bonferroni correction (Pc). 【Results】 The frequencies of M-MDSC (%) in CHC, SC and HC were 1.39±0.86, 0.85±0.63 and 0.57±0.23, respectively (P<0.01). Specifically, CHC presented significantly higher level of M-MDSC than SC (Pc<0.01) and control (Pc<0.05). There was no significant difference in the frequencies of PMN-MDSC among the three study groups (0.81±0.54 vs 0.65±0.40 vs 0.62±0.29, P>0.05). In addition, AST (34.4±19.2 vs 23.0±7.78 U/L) and GGT (40.8±31.4 vs 22.3±7.40 U/L) level were higher in CHC compared with control (Pc<0.05 and Pc<0.01, respectively). 【Conclusion】 The level of peripheral M-MDSC was significantly elevated in chronic HCV infected donors, which would related to the progression of chronicity after HCV infection.
