Objective To evaluate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior chamber angle in patients with different types of acute angle-closure glaucoma after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Design Retrospective case series. Participants 173 cases of acute angle-closure glaucoma coexisting cataract (173 eyes) in Mingren Eye Hospital from January, 2005 to June, 2007. Methods All patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, and were examined with high-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Anterior chamber depth (ACD), intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior chamber angle (ACA) were measured. Follow-up was 1-48 weeks after surgery. Main Outcome Measures Intraocular pressure, phacoemulsification complications, re-open rate of anterior chamber angle. Results At 8th week after surgery, the rate of IOP control in pupillary block group, non-pupillary blocking group, and multimechanism group was 88.9%, 52.0%, 83.4%, respectively and there was a statistically significant between these groups (?2=7.13, P=0.022). At 48th week, the rate of IOP control was 54.2%, 33.3%, 35.8%, respectively(?2=12.56, P=0.003). Fifty patients were follow up with UBM, and 66.7% in pupillary block group, 33.3% in non-pupillary blocking group and 33.3% in multimechanism group in 48 weeks postoperatively showed evidence of the widened anterior chamber angle. No specific postoperative complications were found in this study compared with those with phacoemulsification without glaucoma. Conclusions The use of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for acute angle-closure glaucoma coexsiting cataract can get best IOP-controlled rates in pupillary block group. It is related to the degree of widened anterior chamber angle.

Objective To investigate the effects of ginkgolide B on neuronal cell apoptosis,superoxide dismutase activity,malondialdehyde,interleukin-1beta,tumor necrosis factor-alpha,and interleukin-6 levels in serum of rats with intracerebral hemorrhage in order to explore the role of ginkgolide B in suppressing the neuronal cell apoptosis.Methods A total of 175 male Wistar rats were randomly (random number)divided into sham operation group,intracerebral hemorrhage group,as well as low,medium and high dose treatment groups.The rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage was made with infusion of autologous whole blood to caudate nucleus in the right basal ganglia region.Ginkgolide B in dose of 5 mg/kg,10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg was given to rats in the low,middle and high dose treatment groups by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 5 days after intracerebral hemorrhage.The rats with intracerebral hemorrhage in the sham operation groups received intraperitoneal administration of 1 mL saline.Animals were sacrificed by decapitation 2,6,12,24,48,72 h and 5 days after intracerebral hemorrhage.Brains were taken and blood samples were collected.Neuronal cell apoptosis was measured by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL),and superoxide dismutase activity in serum was determined by using xanthine oxidase method,and serum malondialdehyde level was detected by using thiobarbituric acid reactive substance assay,and interleukin-1beta,tumor necrosis factor-alpha,and interleukin-6 levels in serum were assayed with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Statistical analysis was carried out by using one-way analysis of variance and least-significant difference test.Results As 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h,and 5 days after intracerebral hemorrhage,the differences in the number of apoptotic neuronal cell,superoxide dismutase activity in serum,serum malondialdehyde,interleukin-1 beta,tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 levels between the low dose treatment group and intracerebral hemorrhage group were not significant statistically(P ＞0.05).As 12 h,24 h,72 h,and 5 days after intracerebral hemorrhage,the number of apoptotic neuronal cell,superoxide dismutase activity in serum,serum malondialdehyde,interleukin-1 beta,tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 levels in the medium dose and high dose treatment groups were significantly statistically lower than those in the intracerebral hemorrhage group(P ＜ 0.05),but these differences in above biomarkers were not significant statistically among these three groups 2 and 6 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Ginkgolide B may lessen neuronal cell apoptosis by means of inhibition of free radical production and inflammatory reactions after intracerebral hemorrhage.

ObjectiveTo identify the risk factors related to the mortality of severe acute pancreatitis.Methods Clinical data of 57 cases of severe acute pancreatitis in our hospital from August 1997 to February 2004 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. There were 32 males and 25 females. The median age was 51 years. Cases were divided into death group and survival group according to their outcome. The characteristics, severity and surgical therapy were analyzed. ResultsEleven patients died, the mortality was 19.3%。 Thirty cases underwent surgery, 8 died, the mortality was 26.3%.Factors which were of significant differences between the two groups by univariate analysis were age, Ranson score, APACHEⅡscore, ascites, MODS, ARDS, heart failure and renal failure. Multivariate logistic regression showed that independent risk factors included age, ascites, MODS. ConclusionsIn case of severe acute pancreatitis,the independent risk factors related to mortality were age, ascites and MODS.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of prophylactic pancreatic stent placement and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs( NSAIDs) for the prevention of post?endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan?creatography(ERCP) pancreatitis(PEP). Methods A total of 623 patients with high risk factors for PEP were treated with prophylactic pancreatic stent placement ( 145 patients, group A) or rectal NSAIDs( 478 pa?tients, group B) for PEP prevention by using the propensity score matching( PSM) analysis. Incidence of PEP, moderate and severe PEP were investigated. According to risk factors of PEP, indications of prophy?lactic pancreatic stent placement were analysed. Results Of 623 patients with high risk factors, 145 pairs were generated after PSM.Pancreatitis occurred in 32 patients,10 (6?9%) in group A and 22 (15?2%) in group B( P<0?05 ) . Moderate?to?severe pancreatitis developed in 5 ( 3?4%) patients in group A and 14 (9?7%) patients in group B(P<0?05).Risk factors of post?ERCP PEP were cannulation attempts duration longer than 10 minutes, precut sphincterotomy, more than one pancreatic guidewire passages and history of ampullectomy. Conclusion Although the NSAIDs represent an easy, inexpensive treatment, prophylactic pancreatic stent placement is still a better prevention strategy for PEP.Prophylactic pancreatic stents should be recommended to those with risk factors including cannulation attempts duration longer than 10 minutes, precut sphincterotomy, more than one pancreatic guidewire passages and ampullectomy.

Objective To evaluate whether small endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) plus balloon dilation (EPBD) can replace endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) alone for patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones.Methods From May 2008 to April 2011,462 patients with CBD stones were randomly divided into two groups.The success rate of complete stone removal after the first session,the rate of using mechanical lithotripsy (ML),the short-term complications,the procedure time and fluo roscopy time were compared between the two groups.Results Overall ductal clearance did not differ between the two groups (96.5％ vs 93.5％,P＞0.05).The complication rates at 24 hours were 6.9％ for the small EST plus EPBD group and 11.7％ for the EST group (P＞0.05).However,the rate of complete stone removal after the first session using small EST plus EPBD was significantly higher than EST alone (86.2％ vs 70.4％,P＜0.05).ML was required significantly more often in the EST group when compared with the small EST plus EPBD group (34.8％ vs 12.1％,P＜0.05).The total procedure time and total fluoroscopy time in the small EST plus EPBD group were significantly shorter than the EST group [(38.6±15.5) min vs (47.1±20.2) min,P＜0.05 and (17.3± 7.0) min vs (26.5±10.8) min,P＜0.05].Conclusions Compared with EST,small EST plus EPBD was safe and more efficacious for bile duct stones.In the future,small EST plus EPBD probably can replace EST to be the first treatment of choice for bile duct stones.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of small endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) plus large balloon dilataion (EPLBD) for removal of common bile duct (CBD) stones larger than 12mm.Methods From June 2009 to December 2011,a total of 198 patients with CBD stones were randomly divided into two groups to receive EPLBD (n =100) or EST only (n =98).The rate of complete stone removal after the first session,the overall success rate of stone removal,the rate of using mechanical lithotripsy (ML),the rate of post procedure complication,procedure time and fluoroscopy time were compared between the two groups.Results The rate of complete stone removal after the first session in EPLBD group (89.0％) was significantly higher than that in EST group (71.4％,P ＜ 0.05).ML was required significantly more often in EST group (35.7％) compared to EPLBD group (12.0％,P ＜0.05).Total procedure time and total fluoroscopy time in EPLBD group (39.3 ± 15.8 min and 14.2 ±5.2 min) were significantly shorter than those of EST group (48.4 ± 19.3 min and 24.2 ±9.4 min,P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference between two groups in overall success rate of stone removal (97.0％ in EPLBD vs.93.9％in EST group,P ＞ 0.05) and the complications rate (8.0％ in EPLBD vs.13.3％ in ESTgroup,P ＞0.05).Conclusion EPLBD is as safe and effective as EST for common bile duct stones,larger than 12mm,and is more efficient in terms of procedure time,use of ML and success rate of stone removal.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of laparoscopic combined with gastroscopic surgery for the gastric stromal tumors (GSTs) from the muscularis propria.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with GSTs from the muscularis propria who were admitted to the Qianfoshan Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University between January 2011 and January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients received the general anaesthesia by endotracheal intubation.The pneumoperitoneum was done by an arc incision of 0.5 cm above margin of the umbilical cord and then laparoscopy was placed for exposing and gastroscopy was placed for confirming the location of the tumor.A laparoscope was placed in the cavity via the trocar at the navel,and the other two trocars penetrated both the abdominal and stomach walls.With gastroscopic monitoring,the operation was carried out in the gastric lumen using laparoscopic instruments and the tumor was resected.The tumor tissue was removed orally using a gastroscopic basket,and puncture holes and perforations were sutured using titanium clips.The proton pump inhibitor and antibiotics were used as the conventional therapy for 3 days,while adjuvant therapy with a usage of imatinib was applied to patients who were confirmed with the high-risk GSTs by pathological examination after tumors resection,and the other patients did not receive adjuvant therapy.Gastroscopic reexamination was done every 3 months within postoperative 1 year and then every 6 months after 1 year.Abdominal CT reexamination was done every 6 months within postoperative 1 year and then every 1 year after 1 year.The followup was done till December 2014.Results All the 25 patients received successfully modified laparoscopic combined with gastroscopic surgery without conversion to open surgery and postoperative complication.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,diameter of tumor,duration of postoperative abdominal pain and duration of hospital stay were (79 ± 4) minutes,(28 ± 3) mL,(2.6 ± 0.3) cm,(2.8 ± 0.3) days and (6.3 ± 0.3) days,respectively.GSTs were confirmed by postoperative pathological examination.The mitotic count was (3.3 ± 0.3) /50 HPF and reached R0 resection.Extremely low risk was detected in 3 patients,low risk in 19 patients,intermediate risk in 3 patients and no high risk was detected.Two of 3 patients with intermediate risk took the medicines following instructions without the adverse drug reaction,and 1 of 3 patients refused to take the medicines due to low income.All the patients were followed up for 12-36 months without the recurrence or metastasis of tumors.Conclusion Modified laparoscopic combined with gastroscopic surgery is feasible and effective for the treatment of gastric stromal tumors (GSTs) from the muscularis propria.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of sepsis caused by gram negative or positive pathogens and funguses in preterm infants.Methods The clinical data of 140 premature infants with sepsis admitted to preterm neonatal intensive care unit of Bayi Children's Hospital from October 2008 to June 2011 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The clinical features of sepsis caused by different types of pathogens in preterm infants were compared by SPSS 18.0 software.Comparison of measurement data was conducted by one way ANOVA,and comparison between groups was performed by LSD method.Rates among groups were compared by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.Results Of 140 preterm infants with sepsis,70 cases were caused by gramnegative bacteria,36 by gram positive bacteria,and 34 by funguses.The top three gram negative sepsis pathogens were Klebsiella pneumonia (55.7 ％,n =39),Escherichia coli (20.0 ％,n =14) and Acinetobacter baumannii (12.9％,n =9).The top three gram positive sepsis pathogens were Staphylococcus epidermidis (36.1％, n =13), Staphylococcus hominis (22.2％, n =8) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (19.4％,n=7).The top four fungus sepsis pathogens were Candida parapsilosis (44.1％,n=15),Candida albicans (23.5％,n=8),Candida famata (8.8％,n=3)and Cryptococcus laurentii (8.8％,n=3).There were no significant differences in delivery mode,fetal distress, asphyxia, fetal growth restriction, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, maternal infection,hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,gestational diabetes mellitus,peripherally inserted central venous catheter,mechanical ventilation before infection,cortical hormon（e） (e)xposure,intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, peripheral blood immature-to-total neutrophil ratio,recovery time of platelet,the time of infection onset,fever and hypothermia among the three groups (P＞0.05).While there were differences in gestational age [(30.4 ± 2.3) weeks,(31.0±2.4) weeks and (29.5±1.8) weeks,F=4.317,P=0.015],birth weight [(1512.5±406.0) g,(1563.8±485.4) g and (1328.8±303.2) g,F=3.190,P=0.044],premature rupture of membranes rate [24.3％ (17/70),16.7％ (6/36) and 44.1％ (15/34),X2 =7.241,P=0.034],rate of surgery during neonatal period [12.9％ (9/70),38.9％ (14/36) and 11.8％ (4/34),X2 =10.430,P=0.005],the incidence of lowperfusion [64.3％ (45/70),30.6％ (11/36) and 50.0％ (17/34),X2 =10.922,P=0.004],rate of frequent apnea [67.1％ (47/70),36.1％ (13/36) and 55.9％ (19/34),X2=9.341,P=0.009],incidence of low white blood cell [21.4％ (15/70),8.3％ (3/36) and 32.4％ (11/34),X2=6.267,P=0.042],thrombocytopenia rate [64.3％ (45/70),16.7％ (6/36)and 67.6％ (23/34),X2 =25.576,P=0.000],white blood cell count [(19.9± 17.8) × 109/L,(19.9±14.3) ×109/L and (12.0±8.1)×109/L,F=3.553,P=0.031],platelet count [(159.1±169.1) ×109/L,(311.8±179.7) ×109/L and (121.4±123.4) ×109/L,F=14.140,P=0.000],C-reactive protein [(76.8±70.1) mg/L,(16.6±27.2) mg/L and (31.8±27.5) mg/L,F=17.248,P=0.000],incidence of central nervous system infections [1.4％ (1/70),2.8％ (1/36) and 11.8％(4/34),X2 =5.066,P=0.043],retinopathy rate of premature infants [38.6％ (27/70),50.0％(18/36) and 67.7％ (23/34),X2 =8.780,P=0.012],bronchopulmonary dysplasia rate [8.6％ (6/70),11.1％ (4/36) and 26.5％ (9/34),X2=5.837,P=0.044] and mortality [11.4％ (8/70),0.0％ (0/36) and 2.9％ (1/34),X2 =5.361,P =0.042] among the three groups.Conclusions There are significant differences among sepsis caused by different types of pathogens in risk factors (gestational age,birth weight,premature rupture of membranes and neonatal surgical procedures),clinical manifestations,infection indexes and prognosis in preterm infants.Sepsis caused by gram negative bacilli liked to present shock with obvious increasing of C-reactive protein; and the prognosis is the worst.Central nervous system infection is more common in fungal infection; and the rates of retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia are higher.Sepsis caused by gram positive cocci have mild clinical manifestations and infection indexes variations and better prognosis.

Objective:To observe the influences of functions of chemokine receptor 9(CCR9) on leukemia patients,we analyzed 38 typical T cell lymphocytic leukemia cases.Methods:The functions of T ALL and T CLL CD4+T cells towards TECK/CCL25 were determined by chemotaxis assay and adhesion assay.Results:Almost in all of the T ALL patients,TECK/CCL25(a ligand for CCR9)could induce a high chemotactic migration of T ALL CD4+ cells as well as a high adhesion.Conclusion:It indicates that CCR9 and its ligands may promote survival or proliferation of T ALL cells.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of SpyGlass-guided laser lithotripsy for large common bile duct (CBD) stones with diameter>2 cm.Methods:From August 2015 to August 2018, a total of 157 patients with large CBD stones at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into SpyGlass group ( n=78, underwent SpyGlass-guided laser lithotripsy) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) group ( n=79, underwent LCBDE) by using random numbers. Non-inferiority test was used for rates of one-time stone removal and total stone removal, and the non-inferiority margin was set to 10%. The transform rate, incidence of short-term complications, hospital stay, and quality of life (assessed by the gastrointestinal quality of life index) were compared between the two groups. Results:The total success rates of stone clearance were 92.3% (72/78) and 96.2% (76/79) in the SpyGlass group and LCBDE group, respectively ( P=0.023), with valid non-inferiority hypothesis. The one-time stone removal rates were 83.3% (65/78) and 96.2% (76/79), respectively ( P=0.124), with invalid non-inferiority hypothesis. There were no significant differences in the incidence of transform [7.7% (6/78) VS 3.8% (3/79), P=0.294] or short-term complications [5.1% (4/78) VS 10.1% (8/79), P=0.246] between the two groups. Compared with the LCBDE group, the SpyGlass group had a shorter hospital stay (5.65±0.94 d VS 8.84±1.54 d, P=0.001) and higher scores of gastrointestinal quality of life index (1 month after operation: 99.85±4.36 VS 91.51±5.47, P=0.001; 3 months after operation: 131.24±3.32 VS 112.32±7.77, P=0.001). Conclusion:For large CBD stones, the efficacy of SpyGlass-guided laser lithotripsy is not inferior to LCBDE, and it is less invasive. In the future, SpyGlass-guided laser lithotripsy could be an important option for the treatment of large CBD stones.
