AIM: To assess the effect of two different suture methods on the degree of pain and corneal epithelium healing condition after pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival flap graft transplantation. ·METHODS: Retrospective case-series study. According to the suture method, a total of 92 patients (92 eyes) with pterygium who received treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University from June 2015 to June 2016 were divided into two group. There were 48 patients ( 48 eyes) in Group A were received intermittent suture, and 44 patients ( 44 eyes ) in Group B were received continuous interlocking suture. The degree of pain after surgery were evaluated between the two groups at 2h, 1d and 1wk after surgery by visual analogue score ( VAS). The healing status of corneal epithelium were observed between the two groups at 1d and 1wk after surgery by fluorescent staining. ·RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the average pain value 2h after surgery between Group A and Group B (P>0. 05). The average pain values 1d and 1wk after surgery in Group B was lower than that in Group A respectively (P<0. 01). Mean scores of corneal epithelium healing condition at 1wk were significantly better in Group B than in Group A (0. 54 ± 0. 32 vs 0. 86 ± 0. 34, P<0. 05), while not significantly different at 1d after the surgery (4. 04±1. 46 vs 4. 30±1. 42, P>0. 05). · CONCLUSION: Compared to intermittent suture, continuous interlocking suture can release pain response after pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival flap graft transplantation and promote the healing status of corneal epithelium.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical outcomes of balloon kyphoplasty assisted with calcium phosphate cement (CPC) in treating osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF).

METHODSFrom January 2009 to January 2011, 26 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures were treated with balloon kyphoplasty assisted with CPC, including 31 vertebrae. There were 15 males and 11 females with an average age of (71.67 +/- 4.36) years old (ranged from 60 to 89 years). Course of disease was from 0.5 to 7 days with an average of 3.2 days. Clinical outcomes were assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the oswestry disability index (ODI). Vertebral height loss and kyphotic angle were measured by X-rays.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up for 10 to 24 months with an average of 18 months. Before operation, 24 hours after operation and at final follow-up, VAS scores were 7.91 +/- 1.20, 3.22 +/- 1.12, 1.92 +/- 0.83, respectively; ODI scores were 40.00 +/- 1.15, 17.00 +/- 2.12, 13.00 +/- 1.42, respectivesly; vertebral heights were (18.21 +/- 3.21), (23.82 +/- 3.10), (21.85 +/- 3.24) mm, respectivesly; vertebral kyphosis angles were (18.21 +/- 3.21) degrees, (7.42 +/- 3.13) degrees, (10.01 +/- 3.11) degrees, respectivesly. There was significant difference between preoperation and 24 hours after operation, and between final follow-up and preoperation (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between final follow-up and 24 hours after operation (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONBalloon kyphoplasty assisted with calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is effective for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), which can expeditiously relieve pain and effectively rebuild height of vertebral body and kyphotic angle, and also has advantages of minimal trauma and good security.

Objective To investigate the effect of manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) at 7.0T for tracing nerve tracts in rat brain in vivo. Methods With brain stereotactic apparatus, 0.4 μl Mncl_2 with aqueous solution of 1 mol/L was injected into the right somatosensory cortex of 9 SD rats. MR scan was performed for tracing corticospinal tracts and other coherent nerve tracts pre-, and 24, 48, 72 h, 7 days post-injection with 7.0T micro-MRI system, respectively. Results Corticospinal tracts were showed in intact after Mn~(2+) administration from somatosensory cortex, thalamus, cerebral peduncle to pons at the time point of 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days, while the best tdisplaying was achieved at 24-48 h after Mn~(2+) administration. Simultaneously a small quantity of Mn~(2+) reached the opposite somatosensory cortex through the corpus callosum. Conclusion MEMRI for tracing rat nerve tracts can be showed clearly with 7.0T MRI. The location of manganese-enhanced corticospinal tracts in agreement with the rat brain atlas in stereotaxic is in agreement with that Paxinos' published. MEMRI can display the relationship between the two sides of hemisphere, and may play an important role in investigating the brain function and nerve plasticity after nerve injury in vivo.

Objective To summarize the clinical treatment experience of blood culture-negative infective endocarditis,and to explore the surgery chance and therapeutic strategy of blood culture-negative endocarditis. Methods One hundred and sixty-six patients who were diagnosed blood culture-negative endocarditis in the Aisa Heart Hospital of Wuhan from Jul. 2008 to Dec. 2012 were recruited in the study. Broad-spectrum antibiotics including cefuroxime axetil and levofloxacin were used before the result of blood culture,and sensitive antibiotics were selected to control patient's condition when getting the result of blood culture. But broad-spectrum antibiotics were continuously used to the blood culture-negative endocarditis until stable condition. When the conditions were stable,active preparation before surgery should be carried out. Thoroughly clear the vegetation and protect the cardiorespiratory function during operating. Kata-step antibiotics were used to control patient's condition until normal temperature,as well as the number of leukocytes decreased,blood sedimentation normalized and C-reaction protein decreased. Then,the narrow-spectrum antibiotics were selected including cephalosporin until discharged from hospital,and continued treatment of antibiotics for 4 - 6 weeks. Results Five patients died after the operation,including 1 case died of low cardiac output syndrome,2 cases died of multiple organ failure,1 case died of septicemia and the 1 case died of cerebral embolism. All the other patients discharged from hospital successfully. Conclusion The patients with blood culture-negative IE should be controlled rapidly. The duration and dose of antibiotics should be enough. Active operative preparation should be taken and then surgery timely. Thus,the hospital mortality could decrease and prompt the long-term outcome.

BACKGROUND:It is hopeful that skeletal muscle satellite cells(SMSCs)can be served as seed cells for hematopoietic reconstitution.Angelica polysaccharides(APS)can not only promote hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells proliferation and differentiation,but also change the growth characteristics of SMSCs.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of APS on the proliferation of mouse SMSCs in different culture environments.METHODS:SMSCs were procured by a modified method from new born mouse.The α-actin protein of the SMSCs was examined by immunohistochemistry at 5 days after culture.SMSCs were cultured and synchronized for 24 hours in the 96-well plate.After that,SMSCs were assigned into the blank control group,marrow stroma cell supernatant group,APS DMEM/F12 groups(contained 50,100,200,300,400 mg/L APS)and the marrow stroma cell conditioned medium(disposed by 50,100,200,300,400 mg/L APS in DMEM/F12).The proliferation of SMSCs was determined by MTT.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The α-actin was positive in the cultured SMSCs.MTT results demonstrated that,SMSCs showed a proliferative property in the marrow stroma cell conditioned medium groups.Additionally,the marrow stroma cell conditioned medium can effectively alter growth characteristics of SMSCs in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective:To investigate the use of proton pump inhibitors ( PPIs) in the patients with cirrhosis or hepatitis in one hospital and evaluate the use rationality .Methods:A retrospective study was carried out on 211 patients with the diagnosis of hepatitis or cirrhosis in the infectious disease ward between 2013 and 2014 , and the use rationality of PPIs was evaluated .Results: A total of 211 cases were inspected, and among them, 192 ones were treated with PPIs (91%) with 62 ones treated with PPIs irrationally, which accounted for 29.3%of the total cases.The main irrational use of PPIs was long treatment course (24.5%), inadequate prophylaxis indications (5.7%) and purposeless use (2.6%).Conclusion: Irrational use of PPI is common in hepatitis or cirrhosis patients . Clinical pharmacists should strengthen pharmaceutical care to improve the rational drug use .

Objective To observe the results and reality of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TUR-Bt) with upside down loop and plsamakinetic in the prevention of obturator nerve reflex.Methods A total of 211 patients with lumbar anesthesia received TUR-Bt.Firstly,the tumor tower above bladder wall was cut with the traditional way.When intraoperative findings were obturator nerve reflex,or to the obturator nerve mapping area,operation should be changed to superimpulse plasma column electrode vaporization to cut off residual tumor tissue,then after flipping the loop,the residual tumour was resected with upside-down loop from the tumour side wall.Results In 211 cases,192 cases had a little obturator nerve reflex,but the movement of body was not obvious,which did not influence the operation.The serious complication,such as perforation of bladder and injury of nerve and vessel,did not occur.Conclusions The lateral resection of bladder side wall tumour with upside-down loop can effectively avoid strong obturator nerve reflex,which is safe,uncomplicated,and efficacious and it does not increase the additional outlay and hurt.

Background Retinopathy of prematurity is mainly due to retinal neovascularization.Objective This laboratory work was to evaluate the efficacy of different dosage of avastin for inhibiting retinal neovascularization.Methods Ninety 7-day-old clean C57BL/J6 mice were randomized into six groups as follows:air control group,hyperxia control group,hyperxia BSS group and avastin groups.C57BL/J6 mice in air control group were raised in regular air environments.The fifty mice were fed under the environment with 75％ ±2％ oxygen for 5 days to establish the retinal neovascularization models.The 1.25,2.50 and 5.00 g/L avastin (0.5 μl) were injected inteavtreally in forty-five mice models as low,moderate and high dosage avastin groups respectively,and 0.5 μl BSS was used at the same way in fifteen models as hyperxia BSS group.The mice were sacrificed in the 17-day-old age using excessive anesthesia method and the retina sections were prepared for the calculation of the numbers of vascular endothelial cell nuclei broken retinal inner membrane after hemotoxylin and eosin staining.The expression of CD34 in the retina was detected by immunochemistry.The morphology and distribution of retinal neovascular vessel in various groups were observed using retinal flat.The use of the animals followed the Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The numbers of cell nuclei broken the inner limiting membrane was significant increased in the hyperxia group compared with the air control group( P＜0.01 ),and those in difference doses of avastin were considerably reduced in comparison with hyperxia BSS group (P＜0.01) and hyperxia group (P＜0.01 ).The decrease of numbers of cell nuclei broken the inner limiting membrane was obvious in low dose of high dose of avastin compared with low dose of avastin (P＜0.05 ).CD34 was positively expressed in retina internal membrane of hyperxia group.Retinal flat revealed the regular distribution and normal structure of retinal vessels in air control group and avastin groups.However,retinal and vitreous cavity neovascularization,leakage and enlarged non-perfusion regions in the perimeter of the retina were seen in hyperxia group and hyperxia BSS group. Conclusions Intravitreal injection of avastin can arrest retinal angiogenesis in oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization models in a dose-dependent manner.
