Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2011;27(2):109-113
Ophthalmic imaging including radiographic imaging, acoustic imaging and optical imaging,as a branch of medical imaging has developed rapidly. Optical imaging is very suitable for fundus examination because of the physiological characteristics of the eye. Ophthalmoscope and fundus fluorescein angiography are two historical stages of fundus optical imaging, which become an independent new discipline now, including infrared fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. Comprehensive optical imaging plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of ocular fundus diseases. Appropriate understanding the principles and significance of various optical imaging methods is very important for their clinical applications.

Persistent infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains as a worldwide threat to public health,which involves a complex interaction between virus- and host related factors.HCV is classified as six genotypes and many subtypes according to the sequence heterogenecity.HCV genotype should be determined prior to treatment initiation since it plays a key role in selection of therapeutic regimen for chronic hepatitis C.Development of the antiviral treatment with protease inhibitor in combination with pegylated IFN-α and ribavirin requires the accurate determination of subtypes,e.g. 1a and 1b,as well.Genotyping methods based onsequenceanalysis, reversehybridizationorreal-timePCRhavebeendevelopedand evaluated.Some issues,however,should be settled to standardize the utility and result interpretation of these methods.More recently,host genotypes of IL28B have been found to be closely associated with HCV spontaneous clearance and the response to antiviral therapy.Moreover,polymorphisms in inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase gene affect ribavirin-induced anemia.Therefore, host genotyping will be beneficial in predicting the outcome of chronic hepatitis C and monitoring the drug-induced adverse events.

BACKGROUND:Proximal femoral locking plate and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation are the two common methods for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in clinic. However, there were few randomized control ed trials on the comparison of both methods. Most of them are retrospective case analysis, and short of systematic evaluation. OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety between locking compression plate and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation for the treatment of the femoral intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS:The Cochrane Library (No.2 in 2015), PubMed(1966-01/2015-06), MEDLINE (1966-01/2015-06), EMbase (1984-01/2015-06), CNKI (1979-01/2015-06), VIP(1989-01/2015-06)and WanFang Data(1990-2015)were searched by computer. Meanwhile, relevant literature from the relevant journals and references were searched by hand. Al the randomized control ed trials concerning locking compression plate and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation for the treatment of the femoral intertrochanteric fractures were col ected. The literature was strictly filtered out according to the inclusion criteria, and was strictly evaluated for the quality. Meta-analysis on the included results was performed with RevMan5.2 software from the Cochrane col aboration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were 54 potential y relevant papers, and final y, 11 randomized control ed trials were eligible for this investigation. A total of 917 patients were included containing locking compression plate group (464 cases), proximal femoral nail anti-rotation group (453 cases). The Meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in Harris scores, excel ent rate, complications, fracture healing time and hospital stays after treatment between the locking compression plate and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation groups. However, there were significant differences in the time of operation [MD=15.80,95%CI(7.57-24.04), P=0.000 2], peri-operative blood loss [MD=98.01, 95%CI(58.57-137.44),P<0.01], ambulation loading time [MD=8.07,95%CI(3.02-13.12),P=0.002], the length of incision [MD=6.90,95%CI(1.07-12.73), P=0.02] and postoperative drainage volume [MD=41.85,95%CI(23.77-59.93),P<0.01]. These results suggest that the treatment of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation had shortened the length of incision and the time of operation. The treatment of locking compression plate took more time of ambulation loading time, more peri-operative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume. Because the number of cases which this study included are few, and the fol ow-up time was shorter, we should design stricter large sample randomized control ed studies in future increase the strength of the evidence by conducting medium and long-term fol ow-up.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of programmed intermittent epidural bolus ( PIEB) for labor analgesia in parturients and the effect on neonates. Methods Two hundred primiparae with a sin?gleton fetus in vertex presentation, who requested labor analgesia, aged 21-36 yr, at 37 to 40 week gesta?tion, with cervical dilatation 1-3 cm, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, were divided into 2 groups ( n=100 each) using a random number table: PIEB group and continuous epi?dural infusion ( CEI) group. PIEB regimens were programmed as 10 ml∕h starting from 1 h after the initial bolus. The programmed bolus dose was fixed at 5 ml with the lock?out interval set at 30 min. The drugs used in the analgesic pump were 0?08% ropivacaine and 0?4μg∕ml sufentanil in both groups. From the on?set of labor analgesia until 1 h after delivery, visual analog scale score was used to evaluate the uterine con?traction pain every hour. The modified Bromage score was used to assess the degree of motor block. The up?per spread of sensory block, total consumption of drugs, the number of attempts, duration of every stage, delivery mode, postpartum hemorrhage volume, and occurrence of adverse reactions ( dyspnea, hypoten?sion, pruritus, nausea, vomiting and urinary retention) were recorded. Apgar scores of the neonates were recorded, and the degree of primiparae′satisfaction with the analgesic efficacy was scored. Results Com?pared with group CEI, visual analog scale scores at T2?5 , the total consumption of drugs and the number of
attempts were significantly decreased, and the satisfaction score was significantly increased in group PIEB ( P<0?05) . The height of sensory block in the thoracic vertebra was significantly higher, and the height of sensory block in the lumbosacral spine was significantly lower in group PIEB than in group CEI ( P<0?05) . There were no significant differences between the two groups in the duration of every stage, delivery mode, postpartum hemorrhage volume, incidence of adverse reactions and Apgar scores of neonates (P>0?05). Conclusion PIEB provides reliable efficacy for labor analgesia in parturients, the degree of primiparae′satisfaction is high without increasing the occurrence of adverse reactions, and it exerts no effect on the neonates.
