Objective:To explore the influence of infusion drop speed on the efficacy of tiopronin for injection combined with sol-vents in the treatment of abnormal liver function. Methods:Totally 74 patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 37 ones in each. The infusion drop speed was 60-65 drops per minute in the observation group, and that was 30-35 drops per minute in the control group, and the infusion time was controlled in 1h in the observation group and 2h in the control group. The clinical effect and the improvement of liver function were compared between the two groups after a treatment course of 4 weeks. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group(83. 78%) was obviously higher than that in the control group(56. 76%) (P<0. 05) after the treatment, and ALT, AST and TBIL of liver function indices were improved obviously except for ALB in the two group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Tiopronin for injection can effectively improve the clinical effect by strictly controlling the time and drop speed of infusion.

To investigate the impact of phenotypic knockout of CXCR4 on Molt-4 cells via intrakine technology,the C-terminal alpha-helix gene SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL of human stromal cell-derived Faceor-1 deletion is fused to a retention signal 4-peptide -KDEL that retains the newly synthesized receptor within the Molt-4 cells endoplasimc reticulum. Subsequently, PCR is used to amplify the target gene SDF-1alpha/54/ KDEL from the constructed plasmid SDF-WT-Gly x 4-Dec/PET-30a(+) at its C-terminal and subclone it into eukaryotic expression vectors pEGFP-C3 for generating recombinant vector cells by lipEGFP-C3/SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL, and then have it sequenced. After the transfection of recombinant plasmids into COS-7 posome, SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL protein is confirmed with Western blot. The recombinant plasmids pEGFP-C3/SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL are isolated and transiently transfected in Molt-4 cells by electroporation. Flow cytometric analysis shows a dramatic reduction of CXCR4 expression on Molt-4 cells. The conclusion is that SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL could assume a role in the phenotypic knockout of CXCR4, and the findings suggest that the inhibiting effect of SDF-1alpha/54 against CXCR4 is not influenced by the deletion of SDF-1alpha helix at the C terminal.

Objective:To propose and verify a surgical classification system for the axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor.Methods:The CZH surgical classification system was originally developed for the axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor. The CZH surgical classification system includes seven types, according to the anatomic features and the extension of tumor violation. A total of 136 patients (79 males and 57 females) with axial primary malignant and aggressive benign tumor from multiple tertiary centers who received surgery from July 2006 to July 2019 were included. The average age was 44.40±17.55 years (8-83 years) old. There were 99 malignant tumors and 37 aggressive benign tumors included. The number of patients with each classification was presented as followed, Type I 13, Type II 15, Type IIIa 3, Type IIIb 20, Type IVa 43, Type IVb 12, Type Va 21, Type Vb 3, Type VI 2, Type VIIa 3 and Type VIIb 1. Surgical procedures were selected according to different types in classification. The inter- and intra-observer consistencies were evaluated by the Kendall's W test. The VAS, Frankel score, overall survival and recurrence free survival were recorded during the follow-up. Results:The inter- and intra-observer consistent coefficient was 0.973 and 0.996, respectively ( P<0.05). The single posterior approach was adopted for the Type II tumors. Other patients underwent surgery by the combined antero-posterior approach. The majority in anterior approach (113 cases) was the modified submandibular approach. The reconstruction modes included anterior "T" shape titanium mesh (112 cases) or the 3D printed prothesis (7 cases) combined with the posterior occipto-cervical fusion (92 cases) or the pedicle screw system (44 cases). The average surgical duration and the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 348.40±136.14 min (60-760 min) and 1 225.69±859.40 ml (80-4 000 ml), respectively. The operation duration and volume of intraoperative bleeding among each type were with statistical difference. The patients with Type IV, V tumors had longer operation duration than those with Type II tumors. Those with Type V and VII tumors had longer operation duration than those with Type I tumors. The patients with Type V tumors had more intraoperative bleeding than those with Type I-IV tumors. The average preoperative VAS score was 4.15±2.25 and then was reduced significantly to 0.62±0.71 and 0.38±0.59 at one and three months after operation, respectively. The Frankel score was also significantly ameliorated at one and three months postoperatively. There were 22 postoperative complications (16.2%). The complications included cerebral spinal fluid leak (12.5%), dysphagia and/or dysphonia (7.4%), dyspnea (5.1%), wound infection (3.7%), wound hemorrhage (2.2%) and pharyngeal dehiscence (1.5%). The incidence of postoperative complication was 25.9% in Type IV-VII tumors, while 11.8% in Type I-III tumors. Conclusion:CZH surgical classification system was verified with high observer consistency. This classification system could assist surgeons to select proper surgical approaches, resection modes and reconstruction modes, and thus ensure the safety of surgery and reduce the recurrence. The tumors in Type IV, V and VII may be with more challenging for surgeons. The incidence of postoperative complication in Type IV-VII tumors may be higher than that in Type I-III tumors.

Objective:To analyze the occurrence of early hypotony after the intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its risk factors.Methods:A case-control study was performed.One hundred and twenty-seven eyes of 127 patients with fundus vascular disease who received intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs were enrolled in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022.Of the 127 patients, there were 71 males and 56 females, with an average age of (61.85±11.53) years and a mean intraocular pressure of (15.28±3.71)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). All subjects were intravitreally injected with 0.05 ml of anti-VEGF drugs, including 56 cases receiving ranibizumab, 38 cases receiving conbercept and 33 cases receiving aflibercept.The intraocular pressure was measured with a non-contact tonometer at 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after the injection.The cases were grouped as hypotony group or non-hypotony group according to the intraocular pressure of subjects was less than 10 mmHg or not.The differences in sex, age, distribution of left eye and right eye, disease type, intraocular pressure before injection, injection frequency, lens status, drug type, injection timing, injection site, with or without high myopia, with or without a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, and with or without a history of vitreoretinal surgery were analyzed to investigate the factors with a P-value <0.05, which were used as the independent variable and the occurrence of hypotony as the dependent variable in logistic regression analysis to explore the risk factors for hypotony.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEEC-2022-42). Results:Hopotony occurred in 8 eyes within 2 hours after the injection.There were significant differences in intraocular pressure at different time points before and after injection between the hypotony and non-hypotony groups ( Fgroup=62.177, P<0.001; Ftime=25.128, P<0.001). The intraocular pressure of the hypotony group at 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after injection were lower than before injection, and the intraocular pressure of the non-hypotony group was higher at 30 minutes after injection than before injection (all at P<0.05). The average reduction of intraocular pressure of the hypotony group was 7.88, 7.63 and 7.23 mmHg at 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after the injection, and the intraocular pressure returned to baseline level at 1 day after injection.There was no significant difference in sex, distribution of left and right eyes, disease type, pre-injection intraocular pressure, injection frequency, lens status, drug type, injection timing, injection site, with or without a history of high myopia and with or without a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension between the two groups.There were significant differences in age and with or without a history of vitreoretinal surgery between the two groups ( t=8.265, P<0.001; χ2=6.907, P=0.035). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed younger patients and having a history of vitreoretinal surgery were the risk factors for early hypotony after anti-VEGF intravitreal injection (odds ratio=88.563, P<0.001; odds ratio=20.991, P=0.009). Conclusions:Patients with younger age and having a history of vitreoretinal surgery are susceptible to early hypotony after anti-VEGF intravitreal injection.
