1.Advance in treatment of hyperuricemia by Chinese medicine based on uric acid transporterome.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(22):4346-4350
With the development of the quality of life, the morbidity of hyperuricemia is increasing year by year. At the same time, it appears that this disease attacks the young people currently. As the study of pathogenesis of hyperuricemia advanced, a series of uric acid transporters were found during this process. Meanwhile, the definition of transporterome was proposed. They were divided into three groups according to the functions: reabsorption proteins, excretion proteins and skeleton proteins. At moment, the drugs for hyperuricmia mainly include uric acid composition inhibitors and uric acid excretion promoters. Since the excretion of uric acid plays a leading role during the process of attack of hyperurecimia, it makes sense to explore Chinese medicines with clear mechanism targeting the transporterome. Therefore, this paper would focus on transporterome and summarize the mechanisms of Chinese medicines in treating hyperuricemia.

OBJECTIV:
e To find the correlation between real best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and testing results of microperimetry and visual evoked potential (VEP) and to explore a new method in recording BCVA in macular disease.
METHODS:
Sixty-two patients with macular disease (macular disease group, 62 eyes) and eighteen healthy volunteers (control group, 36 eyes) had BCVA, microperimetry and VEP recorded.
RESULTS:
(1) By microperimetry, the values of retinal mean sensitivity and fixation percentage in macular disease group were lower than that in control group. The bicurve ellipse area in macular disease group was higher than that in control group. By VEP, P100 amplitude under 0.5 cpd and 2 cpd in macular disease group were significantly higher than that in control group and the latency was prolonged (P < 0.05). (2) In macular disease group, BCVA had significant positive correlation with retinal mean sensitivity, bicurve ellipse area, macular central 2 degrees and 4 degrees fixation percentage, respectively (P < 0.05). There was a significant correlation between retinal mean sensitivity and P100 amplitude (P < 0.05). (3) Multiple linear regression equation was y = 0.053 x1+0.008 x3+3.897 (y was BCVA, while x1 was retinal mean sensitivity and x3 was P100 amplitude under 2 cpd).
CONCLUSION
Combined use of microperimetry and VEP is useful in the assessment of BCVA in macular disease.

Objective To compare and analyze the curative effects of mediopatellar plica syndrome under different therapies. Methods 147 patients with mediopatellar plica syndrome were enrolled in the study from January 2011 to January 2015 and divided into three groups refer to treatment: Group A, B and C. Each group was also divided in the youth group and the mid-age group. Different treatments were used in the three groups. Group A: drug therapy and physicotherapeutics; Group B: intraarticular injection regularly; Group C: arthroscopic surgical treatment. All patient conditions were assessed with Lysholm score. Results All patients received an average of 11 (9 ~ 13) months follow-up. No blood-vessel and nerve injured and infection occurred. Before receiving treatment, difference in Lysholm score of the three groups showed no statistical difference (F = 0.08, P = 0.926); after treatment, difference revealed significant difference (F = 15.48, P = 0.001). Compared with those before operation and after operation among the three groups, the Lysholm score was improved (tA = 3.43, tB = 6.74, tC = 7.99, P = 0.001). In the rangeability of Lysholm score, the Group C > B > A (F = 66.43, tAB = 5.97, tAC = 11.52, tBC = 5.55, P = 0.001);The general youth group > the general mid-age (t = 7.91, P = 0.001). Conclusion The best therapeutic method for mediopatellar plica syndrome is the arthroscopy. As for mid-age patients, it is necessary to inform them of possibility that prognosis is not well in preoperative planning.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the importance of preoperative ultrasound and D-dimer determination for patients with traumatic fractures so as to evaluate the value of vascular color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing of vein thrombosis and the correlation between D-dimer level and lower extremity vein thrombosis. Methods The study involved 1000 in-patients with multiple traumatic fractures, femoral fractures, tibial fractures or tibiofibular fractures admitted from March 2008 to April 2009 who were prepared for open reduction surgery. There were 568 males and 432 females, at age range of 20-90 years ( average 54.8 years). Vein D-dimer was examined in the morning on the second day after admission. Vascular color Doppler ultrasound was performed on the lower extremity one day before operation (after the swelling faded away, about 4-10 days after fracture). Results The vascular color Doppler ultrasound on the lower extremity showed vein thrombosis of the lower extremity in 64 patients (6.4%) including 26 patients with iliac- femoral vein thrombosis, 10 with popliteal-tibial vein thrombosis and 28 with gastrocnemius or soleus muscle vein thrombosis. On the second day after operation, out of 736 patients (73.6%) with D-dimer above normal (324 μg/L), 56 patients (7.6%) developed thrombosis afterwards;of 264 patients (26.4%) with normal D-dimer, eight patients (3.03%) developed thrombsis. Incidence of thrombosis in patients with D-dimer above 650 μg/L was higher than that in patients with D-dimer below 650 μg/L (P<0. 01). Conclusions Preoperative lower extremity vein Doppler ultrasound in traumatic fracture patients can lower the risk of fatal lung thrombosis caused by existing deep vein thrombosis.D-dimer above normal level indicates tendency of thorombosis. However, normal D-dimer still have the possibility to develop thrombosis, which deserves attention.
