AIM: To investigate the clinical effects of intravitreal Bevacizumab for 26 cases with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Zone Ⅰ.
METHODS:A retrospective study. Totally 26 ROP infants between September 2013 and October 2014 diagnosed as high - risk ROP in Zone Ⅰ had been treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. They were divided into three groups, pre - threshold ROP, threshold ROP and acute posterior ROP ( APROP ). Postoperative effects were compared.
RESULTS:There were 26 infants (52 eyes) diagnosed as ROP in Zone Ⅰ, including 3 infants( 6 eyes) with pre -threshold ROP, 15 infants (30 eyes) with threshold ROP and 8 infants (16 eyes) with APROP. The first operation recovery rate of three groups respectively were 100% (6 /6), 60% ( 18 / 30 ) and 75% ( 12 / 16 ), which were not significantly different (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Intravitreal bevacizumab for ROP in ZoneⅠ seems effective and has some advantages over conventional laser treatment, which could be first line treatment for high-risk ROP in Zone Ⅰ.

Objective: To investigate the effects of novel targeted non-viral vector in gene therapy of human glioma. Methods: The EGF-R targeting gene delivery system GE7 was constructed. Human Glioma cell line U251 was transfected in vitro with ?-gal as reportor gene and p21 as therapeutic gene using this gene delivery system. By means of the assay of ?-galactosidase staining, Western blotting, in situ end labeling apoptosis cells and DNA ladder, the transferring of exogenous genes and the apoptosis of the tumor cells were examined.Results: It was showed that gene transfer efficiency is over 80%. When transfected with p21 gene, the growth of cells was inhibited significantly, and the apoptosis was detected in the transfected cell by the methods of in situ end labeling and DNA ladder. Conclusion: The GE7 gene delivery system has the ability to transfer exogenous gene to tumor cells and the expression of the therapeutic gene can inhibit the growth of the cells.

Objective:To discuss the oncologic safety, aesthetic outcome, and upper extremity function of single-port insufflation endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (SIE-NSM) in the treatment of early breast cancer.Methods:From January 2014 to August 2019, a total of 80 patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ breast cancer underwent SIE-NSM, at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed and followed up. Estimated the oncologic safety, aesthetic outcome, and upper extremity function.Results:SIE-NSM was performed successfully on all 80 patients.There was no serious complication after surgery.The follow-up time was 16-82 months and the median follow-up time was 42 months. Local recurrence occurred in two patients, and there was no distant metastases. Four (5%) patients developed grade 1-3 nipple-areola complex ischemia. There were no cases of subcutaneous effusion.The satisfaction with breasts, chest well-being, psychosocial well-being, and sexual well-being scores were confirmed to be highly rated by Breast-Q scale. Upper extremity function score confirmed that good upper limb function was preserved after surgery. The mean length of incision was (3.6±0.8) cm, and the blood loss was (24.7±19.3) mL.Conclusions:SIE-NSM can achieve a higher cosmetic score and a better recovery of upper limb function on the premise of ensuring the safety of the tumor.This novel method is an appropriate surgical option for patients with early breast cancer.

Objective: To observe clinical efficacy of oral folic acid (FA) intervene in hyper-homocysteinemia (HHcy) patients combining coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF), to study the effect of blood level of Hcy on cardiac function. Methods: A total of 126 relevant patients with blood level of Hcy>15 μmol/L were randomly divided into 2 groups:Routine group, the patients received anti-platelet therapy, statins, beta-blockers, diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor antagonist and FA group, in addition to above mentioned therapies, the patients also received FA 5 mg/day. n=63 in each group and all patients were treated for 3 months. Fasting blood levels of Hcy, BNP and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were compared between 2 groups at pre- and 3 months post-treatment. Results: ① Based on NYHA classification, the patients with cardiac function at II, III, IV had accordingly increased blood levels of Hcy, BNP and LVEDD, while decreased LVEF and 6MWT, all P<0.05. ② Blood levels of Hcy were positively related to BNP (r=0.733, P<0.001) and LVEDD (r=0.511, P<0.001), negatively related to LVEF (r=-0.382, P<0.001) and 6MWT (r=-0.410, P<0.001). ③ With 3 months treatment, FA group and Routine group showed decreased Hcy level as (8.43 ± 1.87) μmol/L vs (3.29 ±1.68) μmol/L and BNP (891.84 ± 456.10) pg/ml vs (682.24 ± 463.79) pg/ml, reduced LVEDD (4.33 ± 1.231) mm vs (2.06 ± 1.73) mm, while elevated LVEF (6.59 ± 2.28) % vs (2.52 ± 2.37) % and 6MWT (142.97 ± 55.15) m vs (86.35 ± 59.06) m, all P<0.05. Conclusion: Increased blood level of Hcy is risky for HF occurrence, FA may treat HHcy and further improve the cardiac structure and function in HF patients.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical outcome of accessory navicular fusion for treatment of the painful accessory navicular bone of type II in adults.
METHODSFrom June 2006 to June 2012, a total of 38 feet (in 35 adult patients) with painful accessory navicular with type I underwent an fusion operation of the primary and accessory navicular bones,including 26 males and 9 females with a mean age of (32.4±7.3) years old ranging from 18 to 44 years old. The course of disease ranged from 3 to 10 months. The perioperative complications and radiological outcomes were observed and recorded. The foot function before and after operation were assessed by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score, and the easement of the pain was evaluated by visual analog score (VAS).
RESULTSTwo patients had transient superficial inflammation of the incision, no obvious perioperative complications occurred. All patients were follow-up for (53.5±14.7) months (12 to 84 months). Bone union was confirmed on plain radiography in 32 cases (35 feet). The mean time from the operation to union was (13.7±2.3) weeks (9 to 18 weeks). Postoperative pain VAS score was improved obviosly than preoperative (V=12.14,P< 0.01). The talar-to-first metatarsal angle [(9.4±3.5)° vs (8.3±2.7)°, t=0.736, P>0.05)], calcaneal tilt angle [(17.7±2.2)° vs (18.9±3.4)°, t=0.794, P>0.05],talonavicular uncoverage angle [(14.3±3.4)° vs(12.5?4.6)°,t=0.947, P>0.05) ],and height of the first tarsometatarsal joint [(14.8±3.1) mm vs (15.9±2.8) mm,t=0.814,P>0.05)] before and after operations had no statistic difference. The AOFAS midfoot score was improced from preoperative 45.6±5.3 to postoperative 82.5±7.4 (t=3.214,P< 0.01).
CONCLUSIONFor the painful accessory navicular bone of type II in adults, if the patient has a large navicular bone and not complicated with rigid flatfoot, once the conservative treatment fails, fusion of the primary and accessory naviculars may be a successful intervention. Overall, the procedure provides reliable pain relief, definite foot function improvement, and good patient satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the recurrence rate of nasal inverted papilloma treating by endoscopic and non-endoscopic approach.
METHOD:
A search on Pubmed, Medline, Springer and Elsevier databases was done to collect the reports (2001-2013) concerning different surgery treating nasal inverted papillomas, and meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.0 software.
RESULT:
Twelve papers (2001-2013) concerning the different surgery approach treating nasal inverted papillomas were retrieved. The heterogeneity test indicated that the 12 studies were consistent statistically (Q = 14.64, df = 11, P = 0.20), the data from these 12 studies could be analyzed by fixed effect model. After combination of these data, those of 1012 subjects accepted endoscopic surgical intervention and 359 subjects treating by non-endoscopic surgical intervention were collected. Test of overall effect by fixed effect model showed that the recurrence rate of inverted papilloma was significantly lower in endoscopic group than in non-endoscopic group (OR = 0.49, 95% CI was 0.35-0.69, P < 0.01). Funnel plot implied that publication bias was not obvious.
CONCLUSION
The recurrence rate of inverted papilloma was significantly lower in endoscopic group than in non-endoscopic group.
