Abstract?AlM:To analyze the blindness causes of 1854 cases in our hospital hospitalized patients, and explore the strategy and direction of blindness prevention according to the different treatment efficacy.?METHODS: Cluster sampling was used to select from September 2010 to August 2013 in our hospital department of ophthalmology patients 5 473 cases, in which total of 1 854 cases of blind patients, accounting for 33. 88% of hospitalized patients. According to the WHO's criteria of blindness. The BCVA enacted <0. 05 or vision radius less than 10 degrees are for the blind, and the exclusion of less than 3 years old children don't cope with visual inspection of the inclusion criteria for age and cause of blindness blind patients were analyzed. To the blind to patient age and etiology were analyzed, the main cause of blindness and statistics of all ages, records of the blind patients after treatment eye sight;and calculating the blindness of the literacy rate, on the blindness through analysis of the causes of the risk treatment.?RESULTS:ln 1 854 cases of blind patients, including 728 people right-eye blinding, 767 people left-eyes blinding, 359 people total blinding, adding up to 2 213 eyes, aged from 60~80 years old were in the majority. The top three diseases resulting blindness were cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. ln 2 213 blind eyes, the eyes treated were 2 172, of which 1 762 eyes ( 81. 12%) were succeeded, 410 eyes ( 18. 88%) failed. ln the failed cases, the first three diseases were diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment.?CONCLUSlON: ln recent years, disease etiology of blinding eye has changed, but cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma are still high incidence of blindness due, so the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment should be the emphasis for blindness prevention and treatment in the future.

Objective To validate the theraputic efficacy of percutaneous ethanol injection(PEI) for hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adenoma.Methods One case of parathyroid adenoma underwent PEI whose diagnosis was comfirmed by biopsy. The 22 gauge needle was punctured into the adenoma under CT guidance and ethanol was injected into the lesion at multiple points. Results The CT images obtained 6 months after 2 times of CT guided PEI revealed that the volume of the adenoma decreased markedly together obviously with decrease of enhancement after the injection of contrast media. The level of serum parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorous returned normal 2 days to 12 months after the management. The clinical manifestations improved markedly.Conclusions CT guided PEI is a minimally invasive and highly effective theraputic modality for hyperparathyroidism. It can serve as an important supplement to surgery.

0.05). The MIP image should be used to select the optimal projection angle and measure the aneurysm, while the SSD image was for reference only. Conclusion SCTA can not only diagnose cerebral aneurysms accurately but also has high directive value in making therapy plan, surgical preparation and endovascular embolization.

To evaluate the value of Doppler tissue imaging(DTI) to assess left ventricular systolic and diastolic function by determining motion frequency of the mitral annulus in acute myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction. The left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD) was ligated in 10 pigs and systolic motion velocity(Sa), early diastolic velocity(Ea), late diastolic velocity(Aa) and Ea/Aa of lateral mitral annulus in apical 4 chamber view using DTI velocity model before and after ligation of LAD were determined.The results were compared with routine Doppler. In basal state, Ea/Aa was positively correlated with VE/VA (the ratio of early and late diastolic velocity of mitral flow) with Doppler imaging (?=0.82). After the ligation of LAD, Sa, Ea and Ea/Aa significantly decreased, while there was no difference in Aa. DTI is simple and easy for determining mitral annulus motion. It is a new quantitative and non invasive method to evaluate left ventricular function. [HS(2*2/3]

Objective To evaluate the effects of percutaneous computed tomography-guided ethanol injection (PEI-CT) in adrenal benign functioning tumors. Methods Twenty cases of adrenal benign functioning tumors were treated by the therapy of PEI-CT. Among them, 5 cases were pheochromocytomas, and 15 cases were aldosteronomas. After the treatment, the change of blood pressure, aldosterone plasma levels, potassium plasma levels, and catecholamines urine levels was investigated. Both plain and enhanced CT scans were performed before and after the treatment to evaluate the changes of the size and necrosis in the tumors. Results Normalization of blood pressure and catecholamines urine levels was observed in 5 cases of pheochromocytoma during 6-19 months′ follow up after the treatment. In the 15 cases of aldosteronoma, aldosterone plasma levels reduced with potassium plasma levels increasing to the normal range within 5-7 days after the treatment. Aldosterone plasma levels increased with potassium plasma levels reduced again in 7 months after the treatment in one case, aldosterone plasma levels and potassium plasma levels returned to the normal range after the second treatment. Hypertension returned to normal in 13 cases of aldosteronoma, and one case maintained normal blood pressure (BP) only under the condition of taking lower dosage of spironolactone within 7-15 days after the treatment, and one month later, the blood pressure of the case become normal without taking any antihypertensive drugs. The other case maintained normal blood pressure in the need of taking lower dosage of antihypertensives after the treatment. CT scan showed total necrosis of tumors in 15 cases and majority necrosis in 5 case within 7-15 days after the treatment. Conclusion The therapy of percutaneous computed tomography-guided ethanol injection in adrenal benign functioning tumors shows satisfactory effects with the advantages of easy manipulation, safety, less injury and cost.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate and apply the bioaccessibility of Cd in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) to human health risk assessment, and provide reference for the formulation of limit standards. METHODS: The contents of Cd in Coptis chinensis Franch., Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., Lindera aggregate (Sims) Kosterm., and Curcuma kwangsiensis S.G. Lee et C.F. Liang were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The bioaccessibility of Cd in TCMs was investigated by in vitro physiologically based extraction test(PBET) digestion method. And the target hazard quotient (THQ) was applied to assess the health risks of Cd contents. RESULTS: The bioaccessibility of Cd for Coptis chinensis Franch., Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., Lindera aggregate (Sims) Kosterm., and Curcuma kwangsiensis S.G. Lee et C.F. Liang was 49.0%, 40.0%, 44.9% and 65.7%, respectively. The results of risk assessment showed that before extraction, THQ values of Cd for Coptis chinensis Franch., Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., Lindera aggregate (Sims) Kosterm., and Curcuma kwangsiensis S.G. Lee et C.F. Liang were 1.895, 1.045, 1.446 and 1.653, respectively; after extraction, THQ values of Cd for the four types of TCMs were 0.929, 0.418, 0.649 and 1.077, respectively. CONCLUSION: Cd in the four types of TCMs cannot be completely absorbed in the artificial gastrointestinal phase, and the risks of Cd are reduced after extraction. Except THQ for Curcuma kwangsiensis S.G. Lee et C.F. Liang, the THQ values are below the value of 1, indicating very low health risks for the other three types of TCMs after extraction. In this study, the bioaccessibility of heavy metals in TCMs is applied to the health risk assessment model in order to provide a scientific basis for objectively evaluating the health risks of heavy metals in TCMs and formulating a scientific and reasonable heavy metal limit standards.

Objective To investigate the diffevential diagnostic value of preinvasive and invasive lung adenocarcinoma (including minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and invasive adenocarcinoma) presented as pure ground-glass nodules(pGGN) by CT.Methods One hundred and fifty-six cases of pGGN verified by operative pathology were retrospectively analyzed,including 58 ca ses of preinvasive adenocarcinoma and 98 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma(TNM staging were T1N0M0).The CT features and sex were statistically processed.The difference between the CT features and sex were performed by thex2 test.The ROC curve of lesion focus size was drawn.Results Statistically significant differences were found in the lesion shape,vacuole sign,air bronchogram,blood vessel through,tumor-lung interface and vascular cluster sign between the two groups(all P＜0.05).The ROC curve showed that the accuracy rate of invasive adenocarcinoma was 75.0％ when the size of the pGGN lesions was larger than 15.35 mm.Conclusion The lesion size,shape,vacuole sign,air bronchogram,blood vessels through and vascular cluster sign have some predictive value.

Objective To discuss the pathological classification and lesion's inner imaging features of lung adenocarcinoma presented as pure ground-glass opacity.Methods CT imaging features of 156 pGGO lesions which confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed in retrospectively.There were 58 lesions of pre-invasive (including atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma in situ),32 lesions of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and 66 lesions of invasive adenocarcinoma.CT features were analyzed including lesion density,vacuole sign,air bronchogram and abnormal vascular changes (vascular dilatation,distortion or rigid).Results There were statistical difference in lesions density and abnormal vascular changes in 3 different pathological types (P ＜ 0.05),with increase of lesions invasive,the incidence of uneven density and abnormal vascular changes increase,its mean the more invasive of the lesion,the lesion tent to be more uneven and higher incidence of the dilation,twist or rigid of the vascular happened;while the incidence of the air bronchogram will be higher when the lesions invasive degree increased,but there was statistical difference only between the pre-invasive and invasive groups (including minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and invasive adenocarcinoma) (x2 =4.868,P =0.027).Conclusions The uneven density and abnormal vascular changes had certain value in differential diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma presented as pGGO.
