Five male and one female patients with IPVS caused by infarction of occipital cortex and optic radiations of brain were reported. The ages were in the range from 21 to 69 years. The evidence of diagnosis included sudden loss of visual acuity in both eyes, normal fundus, homonymous defect of visual field, infarction of brain in CT scan, without other positive signs of central nervous system or headache or eye pain before or at the time of attack. All the patients were treated by injection of Co- Anisodine Ⅰ and Ⅱ at acupuncture points with satisfactory effects. The therapy is safe, effective, and reliable. The clinical features and the treatment mechanism were disscused.

Thirty-six patients with normal vision in one eye coupled with advanced age-related macular degeneration(AMD)in the fellow eye,and 36 eyes with drusen in one eye coupled with macular drusen in the fellow eye,and 36 normal subjects(36 eyes) were measured by FM100-Hue test.All the tesed eyes had corrected vision of 1.0 or better and had drusen in the fundus.The results showed that the total errors score of FM100-Hue test of patients whose fellow eye suffered from advanced AMD compared with that of the patients whose fellow eye did not suffer from advanced AMD,difference between the two groups in the red and panchromatic regions was statistically significant(P

Objective:To study the effects of curcumin on the activity of ATPase and the mechanism of apoptosis in U-251 cell.Methods:U-251 cells were treated with 20,40,80,100?mol/L curcumin for 24 h and the growth inhibition rates of U-251 cells were measured with MTT method.Cell apoptosis was inspected with flow cytometry(FCM).The activities of ATPase were determined by colorimetry method.Results:Curcumin inhibited the proliferation of U-251 cells and induced apoptosis of U-251 cells.level of ATPase in U-251 plasma Membrane was low remarkably.Conclusion:Curcumin induced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation of U-251 cell via inhibition of activation of plasma Membrane ATPase.

Visual function in early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were observed by contrast sensi-tivity(cs), macular threshold, FM 100-Hue test, dark adaptation, and the Amsler grid. All patients with early AMD achieved corrected visual acuity of 1.0 or better. The results revealed that early AMD showed one or more of following: abnormal macular light sensitivity (MLS), hue discripmination, CS, threshold of dark adaptation, and Amsler grid, comparing with those of the normal controls. These tests proved useful for the early diagnosis of AMD, and their sensitivity was found to be in the following descending order: MLS, FM100-hue, CS, and Amsler grid.

Circadian rhythms are endogenous 24 h variations found in virtually all physiological processes and behaviors, which are controlled by the transcriptional translational oscillator that consists of a series of core clock genes (bmal1, clock, cry and per) and clock controlled genes (rev-erbα, rorα, dbp, tef and hlf).Clock genes exist in immune organs, tissues and cells, leading to the immune cell function (migration and chemotaxis, phagocytosis, cytotoxicity and so on) and a variety of immune parameters (factor level of circulating immune cells and subsets of the relative and absolute number of cells) showing circadian rhythm changes, and playing an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis.In addition, some immune related diseases are closely correlated with circadian rhythms abnormalities.This paper will focus on the effect of circadian rhythms on immune functions and their roles in some immune related diseases.

Objective To assess value and limitations of non-invasive methods in assessing liver fibrosis.Methods By summarized current situation and advancement of serum fibrotic markers,ultrasound,CT and MRI in assessing liver fibrosis,we investigated their value and limitations.Results In addition to diagnosis,non-invasive methods of assessing liver fibrosis assess severity of liver fibrosis.For liver fibrosis,however,non-invasive methods can not monitor effectively reaction to therapy and progression.Conclusion Non-invasive methods play important roles in diagnosis and assessing severity of liver fibrosis,and reduce the need of liver biopsy.

The optimal distance from tumor to incision varied according to the cellular type of the tumor. In each case the cutting edge of the excised tissue was checked with frozen sections for cancer cells. Multiple neighboring skin flaps in full thickness raised from the periosteum were used to cover the large defects (the smallest defect is 25 20mm, the largest one is 75 65mm). The results showed that good cosmetic results were obtained in all cases, visual function was preserved in 35 of the 36 patients, and no recurrence of the tumor was found in 5 years' follow-up. One patient with squamous cell carcinoma that disseminated to nasal cavity and sinuses had a complication of meningitis after the operation,and it was cured with proper treatment.

Objective To discuss the value of urinary trace proteins in evaluating kidney function in the course of diabetes mellitus II rehabilitation.Method To assay level of urinary trace proteins in 50 cases of diabetes mellitus II and healthy control subjects. Result Level of trace proteins in 40 cases with diabetes mellitus ranged between normal values.They showed significantly increased urinary trace proteins(80％ ).Conclusion Urinary trace proteins is a sensible indicator for evaluating kidney function in diabetes mellitus II.
