Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of Feilike mixture and Xuanfei Zhisou mixture in the treatment of children acute tracheobronchitis bronchitis. Methods:Totally 110 cases of children with infantile bronchitis were randomly divided into Feilike group(37 cases),Xuanfei Zhisou group(37 cases)and the control group(36 cases). The control groups was treated with the conventional therapy including amoxicillin clavulanic acid potassium dispersible tablets with oral administration and hydrochloric acid ammonium bromide injection with atomization inhalation. Feilike group was treated with Feilike mixture additionally,and Xuanfei Zhisou group was treated with Xuanfei Zhisou mixture additionally. The treatment course was 7 d. Fever,cough and rale disappearance time were observed,and the efficacy and adverse reactions were also compared. Results:The total effective rate of Feilike group and Xuanfei Zhisou group was 94. 6% and 91. 9% ,respectively,both were higher than that of the control group(P < 0. 05),while there was no significant difference between the two groups(P > 0. 05). The disappearance time of cough and rale in Feilike group and Xuanfei Zhisou group was shorter than that in the control group(P <0. 05),and the time was shorter in Xuanfei Zhisou group when compared with that in Feilike group(P < 0. 05). No obvious adverse reaction was shown in the three groups. Conclusion:Feilike mixture and Xuanfei Zhisou mixture both show notable curative effect in the treatment of children acute tracheobronchitis bronchitis with good safety.

Background phacoemulsification combined with limbal relaxing incision (LRI) is reported to be effective for the management of coexisting cataract astigmatism,but the influence of after phacoemulsification with LRI on corneal high-order aberration is still rarely reported.Objective This study was to evaluate the effect of cataract surgery with LRI for preoperative astigmatism or on corneal high-order aberration.Methods A selfcontrolled serial cases observational study was designed.A total of 35 cataractous eyes of 35 patients with astigmatism ≥ 1.0 D before cataract surgery were enrolled in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from August 2014 to April 2015 under the informed consent of patients.LRIs were performed on the eyes during the phacoemulsification and IOL implantation.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),BCVA and optometry were recorded before operation and 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months after operation.Pentacam was employed to measure the maximal and minimal diopters,astigmatism and high-order aberrations within 3 mm of the anterior corneal surface at above-mentioned time points.All the results were compared among different time points.The optometry outcomes and the anterior corneal surface astigmatism change were analyzed using vector analysis method.Results The UCVA was 0.34 ±0.22,0.38 ± 0.25,0.43±0.27,0.42±0.28 in 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months after operation,which was significantly higher than 0.08 ±0.09 before operation;and the BCVA was 0.54 ± 0.27,0.64 ± 0.29,0.67 ± 0.29,0.71 ± 0.32 in 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months after operation,showing a significant increase in comparison with 0.22±0.51 before operation(F=54.457,P=0.000;F =62.653,P =0.000).The refractive cylindrical error and corneal astigmatism were significantly decreased after operation in comparison with before operation (F =31.061,P =0.000;F =113.043,P=0.000).High order aberrations (HOA) at postoperative 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months were all higher than those in preoperation (F =11.189,P =0.000) under the 4 mm pupil diameter.Compared with preoperation,the vertical coma,secondary vertical coma and three leaf clover were significantly increased(all at P＜0.05),but the horizontal coma and primary spherical aberration were not significantly changed (all at P＞0.05) under the 6 mm pupil diameter.Conclusions Phacoemulsification combined with LRI can reduce the corneal astigmatism effectively and steadily,and the increase of corneal aberrations does not affect visual acuity.

Background The incidence of dry eye is growing.However,the early diagnosis of dry eye is still difficult up to now.Keratograph 5M analyzer,a novel noninvasive ocular surface analyzer for dry eye may offer important parameters.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical value of Keratograph 5M analyzer for clinical diagnosis of dry eye.Methods An observational study was proceeded with 88 cases who accepted myopia diagnosis in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from October to December 2013.A series of conventional dry eye-related examinations were performed on the patients,including tear film break-up time (TBUT),corneal fluorescein staining scoring,Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t),and then Keratograph 5M analyzer-related examinations were subsequently carried out,including noninvasive tear film break-up time (NITBUT) and conjunctival hyperemia scoring.The correlations between conventional dry eye-related examinations and Keratograph 5M analyzer-related examinations were assessed by using Spearman rank correlation analysis.Results A total of 88 patients were recruited with male 32 and female 56.No significant difference in age was found between different genders (P =O.34).In 88 patients,Keratograph 5M analyzer showed the non-dry eyes in 15 patients,suspicious 44 patients (50.0％) and dry eyes in 29 patients (33.0％).However,the non-dry eyes were checked out in 39 patients and dry eyes were in 49 (55.7％) based on China Dry Eye Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus.The first NITBUT (NITBUTf) was less than the average NITBUT (NITBUTav) (P =0.00),and a positive correlation was seen between them (rs =0.62,P =0.00).Dry eye grade was significantly correlated with NITBUTf or NITBUTav or conjunctival hyperemia scoring (rs =-0.60,P =0.00 ; r,=-0.89,P =0.00 ; rs =0.24,P =0.02).A negative correlation was found between the conjunctival hyperemia scoring and NITBUTav (rs =-0.24,P =0.02).However,no significant correlation was seen between conjunctival hyperemia scoring and NITBUTf,TBUT,S Ⅰ t or corneal fluorescein staining scoring (rs=-0.13,P=0.22;rs=0.16,P=0.14;rs =-0.16,P=0.13;rs=-0.08,P=0.44).No significant difference was found between TBUT and NITBUTf (P =0.71).And TBUT was correlated with NITBUTf (rs =0.23,P =0.03),but not NITBUTav (rs =0.18,P =0.09).In addition,no significant correlations were seen between S Ⅰ t and NITBUTf or NITBUTav (rs=0.20,P=0.07;rs=0.05,P=0.66).Conclusions NITBUTav has an important significance in assessing overall ocular surface conditions.The conjunctival hyperemia score is one of refrent indicators to judge ocular surface status.

Background Obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction (OMGD) is due to the meibomian gland duct obstruction and/or meibum abnormal secretion.Meibomian gland morphological change is important to clinical observation.Objective This study aimed to image the meibomian gland structures and the morphological changes in eyes with OMGD using a non-contact infrared meibography system (Keratograph 5M).Methods A case-control study was performed in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from January to June in 2015.Sixty OMGD patients and 60 age-matched healthy controls were recruited.Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was employed for the assess of ocular surface symptoms,and slit-lamp examination was performed for the observation of lid margin and meibomian gland orifices.Meibomian gland secretion scores and Keratograph 5M examination the morphological changes of the meibomian glands.According to OSDI questionnaire,the patients of OMGD were classified into mild group (12.0 ＜ OSDI ≤ 22.0) (23 eyes),moderate group (22.0 ＜ OSDI ≤ 32.0) (21 eyes) and severe group (32.0 ＜ OSDI ≤ 100.0) (16 eyes).Partial or complete loss of the meibomian glands (meibomian dropout) was scored from grade 0 (no loss) through out grade 3 (lost area was ＞2/3 of the total meibomian gland area).Written informed consent was obtained from all subjects before the examination.Results The OSDI,meibomian gland orifices,meibomian gland secretion scores and meibomian gland dropout scores were significantly higher,and BUT was dramatically shorter in the OMGD group than those in the normal group,showing significant differences between the two groups (Z =-9.425,-8.954,-7.781,all at P＜0.05).The BUT was (6.10± 1.91) s and (10.67-±2.11)s,and meibomian gland dropout scores were 1.35±0.90 and 0.88±0.64 in the OMGD group and normal control group,showing significant differences between the two groups (t=3.276,-12.418,both at P＜0.05).OSDI,meibomian gland secretion scores and meibomian gland dropout scores were significantly in three intergroups (H=52.121,13.642,37.180,all at P＜0.05).BUT,meibomian gland orifices were significantly different among the mild,moderate and severe OMGD (F=58.191,8.474,both at P＜0.05).OSDI showed a significantly high positive correlation with meibomian gland orifices,meibomian gland secretion scores and meibomian gland dropout scores (r =0.708,P =0.000;r =0.759,P =0.000;r =0.270,P =0.003).BUT showed negative correlation with meibomian parameters (r=-0.692,P=0.000;r=-0.691,P=0.000;r=-0.192,P=0.036).Conclusions Keratograph 5M provides an effective noninvasive method in assessing the image of the meibomian gland structures and meibomian gland dropout.There are differences in the ocular surface and meibomian glands between the OMGD patients and normal persons.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the dry eye symptom and signs in middle-aged and aged people by Lipiview(R) ocular surface interferometry.Methods A total of 170 eyes from 85 middle-aged and aged people (55-80 years old) were examined with Standard Patient Evaluaion of Eye Dryness(SPEED) questionnaire and Lipiview(R) ocular surface interferometry,meanwhile obtaining the consent of the subjects.Then the correlation between the symptom and Lipid Layer Thinckness (LLT) and partial blink rate were analyzed.Results SPEED questionnaire score was 6.13 ±4.60.LLT was(74.88 ± 21.16) nm.LLT variability was 4.47 ± 3.40.The partial blink rate was 0.62 ± 0.36.The Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the nega-tive correlation was shown between the SPEED questionnaire score and LLT (r =-0.823,P =0.000),SPEED questionnaire score and LLT variability(r =-0.268,P =0.018).The positive correlation were found between LLT and Std.Dev of LLT (r =0.339,P =0.030).However,the results of the SPEED score were uncorrelated with partial blink rate (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The results from this study demonstrate that correlation among symptom,LLT and LLT variability,but poor correlation between symptom and partial blink rate.

Objective To assess the optical quality after implantation of the intraocular contact lens with and without a central hole for high myopia.Methods A total of 23 patients (41eyes),including 11 patients (21 eyes) implanted with V4 ICL (V4 ICL group) and 12 patients (20 eyes) with V4 c ICL implantation (V4 c ICL group) were enrolled in this research.Six months after operation,slit lamp microscope was used to check the anterior segment,and LogMAR chart was to test uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA).Moreover,automatic refractometer was to measure the spherical equivalent (SE) and astigmatic diopter before and after the operation.OQAS parameters included objective scattering index (OSI),modulation transfer function (MTF),Stryrby (SR),OQAS values (OV100％,OV20％,OV9％) at different contrast level were examined.Results In both groups,the parameters of UCVA (logMAR),BCVA (logMAR),SE and astigmatic diopter at 6 months after operation were significantly improved compared with before operation,with significant difference (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no siguificant difference in the UCVA,BCVA,SE and astigmatic diopter between the two groups before operation and 6 months after operation (all P ＞ 0.05).Moreover,the values of MTFcutoff,SR,and OQAS visual parameters (OV100％,OV20％ and OV9％) at 6 months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation between the two groups,and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05),while OSI was lower than preoperative data,but there was no significant difference in OSI between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in OQAS visual quality parameters,including OSI,MTFcutoff,SR,and OV100％,OV20％ and OV9％,between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion It is safe and effective of the two types of intraocular contact lens implantation for correction of high myopia,and V4 c ICL can achieve the similar visual quality to the traditional V4 ICL.

Objective To investigate the effect of regulatory dendritic cells treated by extracorporeal photochemotherapy on T cell proliferation. Methods Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained and the immature dendritic cells (imDCs) were induced by recombinant human granulocyte and macrophage colony stimulating factors. SPDCs were obtained by PUVA treatment, and ECDCs were co-cultured with imDCs and PUVA-SP to obtain immunoprecipitated dendritic cells. In vitro, imDCs were co-cultured with SPDCs to obtain SPDCs; imDCs were added to 10ng/ml of LPS, and cultured for 1 day to obtain DCs. The expressions of CD11c, CD83 and CD86 on the surface of the cells were detected. The effect of imDCs on the proliferation of recipient T cells was detected by mixed lymphocyte culture method. Results The early apoptosis rate of PUVA-treated cells was 91.33%. The positive expression rates of CD83 and CD86 in ecpDCs were 22.83%±5.26% and 22.06%±4.37%, respectively, which were similar to those of imDCs (15.06%±0.59%, 15.19%±1.83% (P<0.01), but significantly lower than those in DCs (99.79%±0.36%, 99.85%±0.19%, respectively), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The recipient imDC cells phagocyting the appoptotic splenic lymphocytes from the donor significantly inhibited the proliferation of recipient T cells. Conclusion Apoptosis of splenic lymphocytes induced by extracorporeal photochemotherapy can inhibit the maturation of dendritic cells and inhibit the proliferation of T lymphocytes.

Objective To explore the characteristics of T cell immunity in peripheral blood of patients with carboxypeptidase - H antibody (CPH-Ab). Methods Forty-two latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) patients with CPH-Ab~+ alone, 20 Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM), and 22 healthy controls were selected and their peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated. Human recombinant carboxypeptidase (CPH) protein was expressed and further used as a stimulant in Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay to detect IFN-γ-Th1 and IL-4-Th2 cells in the 3 groups. Th1/Th2 ratios were also calculated. CPH-Ab and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Ab) were determined by radioligand assay. Results Compared with healthy controls and T2DM, IFN-γ-Th1 and IL-4-Th2 numbers did not increase significantly in CPH-Ab~+ group, nor did the Th1/Th2 ratios (P ＞0. 05). We further divided the CPH-Ab~+ patients into a short duration group (n = 22) and a long duration subgroup (n = 20) according to the duration of 3 years. CPH-IL-4-T in the short duration subgroup was significantly higher than that in T2DM and healthy controls (1. 8 vs. 0.2 and 0.3, both P ＜ 0. 05) and we did not find any factor that was significantly correlated with the IL-4 spots number. There were not any significant differences in T cell responses to phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin (PHA) among all groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion CPH does not directly involve in the cellular pathological mechanism of LADA. Anti-CPH immunity may be associated with more slowly aggressive beta cell autoimmunity.

Objective To analyze the correlation of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)with the expression levels of regulatory T cell (Treg)and cytokines in peripheral blood. Methods A total of 56 patients who underwent liver transplantation in the 309th Hospital of People's Liberation Army from 2010 to 2014 were studied. According to the postoperative pathological data,all the patients were divided into the group of liver transplantation for HCC (HCC group,n=28)and group of liver transplantation for cirrhosis (liver cirrhosis group,n=28), of which the HCC group was further divided into non-recurrence group (n=8)and recurrence group (n=20)according to the situation of postoperative tumor recurrence. The expression levels of Treg and cytokines [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),interleukin (IL)-2,IL-10,IL-12,transformation growth factor (TGF)-βand interferon (IFN)-γ]in peripheral blood of the patients in various groups were compared. Results Compared with the liver cirrhosis group,levels of IFN-γand IL-12 in the non-recurrence group increased significantly (both P<0.05);levels of Treg%,VEGF,IFN-γ, IL-10 and TGF-βin the recurrence group increased significantly,while levels of IL-2 and IL-12 decreased significantly (all P<0.05). Compared with the non-recurrence group,levels of Treg%,VEGF,IL-10 and TGF-βin the recurrence group increased significantly,while levels of IFN-γ,IL-2 and IL-12 decreased significantly (all P<0.05 ). Conclusions Levels of Treg and cytokines can be used to predict the tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for HCC.
