Late intraocular lens dislocation is one of the most severe late complications after phacoemulsification.It often occurs 3mo after the surgery.Different from early intraocular lens dislocation, late intraocular lens dislocation is caused by zonular dehiscence and contraction of the capsular bag many years after phacoemulsification.In recent years, the incidence of late intraocular lens dislocation gradually increases, having a risk of 0.1% after 10a and 1.7% after 25a.In the long-term follow-up patients who underwent cataract surgery, 90% had zonular insufficiency and capsular contraction.Among the multiple factors which may contribute to zonular weakness and capsular contraction, pseudoexfoliation is the most common cause, accounting for 50% of all the cases.Other risk factors include aging, high myopia, uveitis, trauma, previous vitreoretinal surgery, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetes mellitus, atopic dermatitis, previous acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, and connective tissue disorders.The understanding of these predisposing factors will suggest necessary preventions for high-risk patients in the future.

Objective To explore the short axial strain of left ventricle in patients with atrial septal defect(ASD)before and after the transcatheter closure by using two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI).Methods A total of 30 patients with ASD underwent echocardiography before and after the transcatheter closure.The procedure was performed to obtain the peak of circumferential strain(Sc)and radial stain(Sr)of left ventricle by 2D-STI.Thirty healthy volunteers were enrolled as controls.Results ①Compared with the control group,regional myocardial Sc of ASD group decreased(P <0.05).Sc of anterior septum (AS),anterior wall (AW),laterior wall (LW)and posterior wall (PW)increased (P <0.05)at 2-days after the transcatheter closure and those parameters were higher than control group.At the six-months after the transcatheter closure,those parameters reduced to the normal level (P <0.05).Sc of inferior wall (IW)and mid-posterior septum (MP-Sept)increased to the normal level at 2-days after the closure surgery (P <0.05).②Compared with control group,regional myocardial Sr of ASD group decreased(P <0.05 ) except PW,two-days after the transcatheter closure these parameters increased to the normal level.Sr of PW in ASD group increased compared with control group(P <0.05),and there were no statistical changes at 2-days after the transcatheter closure.Sr of PW in ASD decreased (P <0.05 )to normal level until 6-months after the transcatheter closure.③ Global circumferential strain (GCS)of left ventricular in ASD group were lower than control group (P <0.05 ).At two-days after undergoing transcatheter closure the GCS increased (P <0.05)and those parameters were higher than control group (P <0.05).Six-months after the transcatheter closure those parameters reduced to the normal level (P < 0.05 ).There were no statistical differences of left ventricular global radial strain (GRS)between control group and ASD group. However,the GRS of ASD group increased (P < 0.05 )and those parameters were higher than control group (P <0.05)after 2-days undergoing the transcatheter closure.At six-months after the transcatheter closure those parameters were reduced to normal level (P <0.05 ).Conclusions 2D-STI can quantitative evaluate left ventricular circumferential strain and radial strain in patients with ASD before and after the transcatheter closure.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy of Tongfu Mixture (TM) for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).

METHODSTotally 54 PEP patients were randomly assigned to the control group (treated by routine therapy, 26 cases) and the TM treatment group (treated by TM, 28 cases). Clinical indices including the alleviation time of abdominal pain/distention, gastrointestinal function recovery time, and the post-surgical length of stay were observed. Blood amylase (AMY), C-reactive protein (CRP), plasma endotoxin (PLS), TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were detected before surgery, 12 h, 48 h, and 96 h after surgery.

RESULTSThe alleviation time of abdominal pain/distention, the gastrointestinal function recovery time, and the post-surgical length of stay were obviously shorter in the TM treatment group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The recovery of AMY and CRP were better in the TM treatment group than in the control group at post-operative 48 h and 96 h (P < 0.05). The levels of LPS, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were lower in the TM group than in the control group at post-operative 96 h (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTM showed better clinical efficacy and could significantly decrease the post-surgical length of stay. post-ERCP pancreatitis; integrative medicine; Tongfu Mixture

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic push?radial dissection (EPRD)for benign esophageal stricture(BES). Methods Clinical data of 24 patients diagnosed as having BES who received EPRD were analyzed. The procedure and efficacy were evaluated. Results All 24 patients underwent EPRD successfully with mean operation time being 32 min(15?45 min).The mean esophageal stric?ture incision length was 3?? 2 cm (1?? 0?8?? 0 cm).No severe complications related to EPRD occurred, or trans?ferred for surgery. Patients were followed up for 1?5 months (mean 2?? 8 months). Dysphagia was relieved signif?icantly during the follow?up in 23 patients where endoscopy could go through smoothly. But dysphagia re?oc?curred in one patient 2 weeks after the operation, who underwent a second EPRD and stent implantation, then dysphagia was relieved. Conclusion EPRD is safe, feasible and effective for benign esophageal stricture.

Vaccination for children and adolescents is an effective strategy for preventing and controlling infectious diseases. However， clinical reports showed that vaccination may be associated with epilepsy or seizures， potentially increasing public hesitancy about vaccination， and affecting vaccination coverage. At present， no evidence showed that vaccination could damage the nervous system and cause epilepsy or seizures. In this review， we explore the association of multiple vaccinations in children and adolescents with epilepsy or seizures， and further understand the safety of vaccination， thereby improving vaccine coverage in China.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy in different occupational populations in a medical college community. METHODS: A total of 719 pregnant women in a medical college community were selected by convenient sampling method and divided into medical staff group(218 women) and non-medical staff group(501 women, including 138 teaching staff subgroup, 129 administrative service staff subgroup and 234 other occupation subgroup). The detection rate of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy were compared among these groups. RESULTS: Among the study subjects with the top five detection rates, high-risk factors of pregnancy were abnormal body mass index, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, scarred uterus and abnormal thyroid function, with the detection rate of 21.4%, 17.5%, 9.7%, 7.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors≥two, adverse pregnancy outcome, adverse fetal outcome, miscarriage and low birth weight in the medical group were significantly lower than those in the non-medical staff group(all P<0.05). The detection rates of pregnancy risk factors, primary screening risk factors, scarred uterus and pregnancy anemia in the teaching staff subgroup were significantly higher than those in the other occupation subgroups(all P<0.008). The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors ≥two and advanced age in the teaching staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). The detection rates of adverse pregnancy outcome and miscarriage in the administrative service staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that occupation, advanced age, parity and scarred uterus were the main influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: There are differences in pregnancy high-risk factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes among different occupational groups. The teaching staff subgroup has a relatively higher detection rate of pregnancy high-risk factors, and the adverse pregnancy outcomes and miscarriage were relatively higher in the administrative service staff subgroup, compared with the medical staff group.

OBJECTIVETo find a new method to perform medial canthoplasty and upper eyelid fold formation at one stage.

METHODSBased on the principle to release the skin tension and minimize incision scarring around the medial canthus, an operation was designed for medial canthoplasty together with upper eyelid fold formation. 136 patients with mild or moderate epicanthus underwent this procedure. Postoperative follow-up was as long as 34 months.

RESULTSBased on the follow-up of 67 cases, the appearances of the upper eyelid fold and medial canthus were evaluated. The upper eyelid fold was the parallel type. The epicanthus was corrected completely or mostly.

CONCLUSIONThis new method for medial canthoplasty together with upper eyelid fold formation is suitable to all the simple epicanthus except the reverse epicanthus. The operative results were effective and satisfactory.

Objective To analyze the risk factors affecting postoperative incisional infection in Crohn's disease (CD) patients after bowel resection.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathologieal data of 239 CD patients who underwent bowel resection in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2007 and December 2016 were collected.All patients underwent bowel resection.Observation indicators:(1) surgical situations;(2) follow-up;(3) risk factors analysis affecting postoperative incisional infection;(4) clinical factors affecting preoperative anemia.The follow-up using outpatient examination or ward diagnosis was performed to detect incisional infection within 30 days postoperatively up to January 2017.The normality test was done by Shapiro-Wilk.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x-±s,and comparison between groups was evaluated with the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range),and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Wilcoxon ranksum test.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the Logistic regression model.The P＜ 0.05 in univariate analysis was incorporated into multivariate analysis for analysis in the forward wald.Results (1) Surgical situations:of 239 patients,11 underwent emergency surgery and 228 underwent elective surgery;65 and 174 underwent respectively laparoscopic surgery and open surgery;179 received digestive tract reconstruction and anastomosis and 81 received enterostomy (21 combined with anastomosis and enterostomy).Among 239 patients,137,113,101,58,54 and 11 were complicated respectively with fiber stenosis,intestinal fistula,obstruction of small intestine,abscess,cellulitis and enterobrosis (some patients combined with multiple signs).(2) Follow-up:239 patients were followed up at 30 days postoperatively.During the follow-up,48 with incisional infection were improved by symptomatic treatment.(3) Risk factors analysis affecting postoperative incisional infection:① Results of univariate analysis showed that illness behavior,sedimentation rate of RBC ＞ 20 mm/h,preoperative anemia,preoperative chronic intestinal fistula,open surgery,intraoperative fiber stenosis and intraoperative intestinal fistula were risk factors affecting occurrence of postoperative incisional infection [odds ratio (0R)=2.530,2.579,4.233,2.988,2.554,0.503,3.052,95％ confidence interval (CI):1.218-2.259,1.141-5.833,1.598-11.210,1.522-5.864,1.082-6.029,0.265-0.954,1.555-5.993,P＜0.05].② Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative anemia and intraoperative intestinal fistula were independent risk factors affecting occurrence of postoperative incisional infection (OR =3.881,2.837,95％ CI:1.449-10.396,1.429-5.634,P＜0.05).(4) Clinical factors affecting preoperative anemia:cases (male) with preoperative anemia,body mass index (BMI),cases with sedimentation rate of RBC ＞ 20 mm/h,platelet (PLT) ＞ 300x109/L,elevated C-reactive protein,albumin (Alb) ＜35 g/L were respectively 120,(17.4±2.9)kg/m2,130,75,139,65 in patients with preoperative anemia and 65,(18.3±2.9)kg/m2,36,12,39,10 in patients without preoperative anemia,with statistically significant differences (x2 =17.966,t =2.210,x2 =12.219,14.440,14.661,12.272,P＜0.05).Conclusion The preoperative anemia and intraoperative intestinal fistula are independent risk factors affecting occurrence of postoperative incisional infection,and preoperative anemia is associated with perioperative inflammatory conditions.

Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumor worldwide. Metastasis is a marker of cancer deterioration in patients with liver cancer and a major cause of death. In order to develop effective therapeutic strategies, it is urgent to study the molecular basis of liver cancer metastasis. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN) in HCC. Wound healing and transwell cell invasion assays was used to confirm the role of FASN in liver cancer migration and invasion. Proteins that interacted with FASN were identified using iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification). Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and cellular immunofluorescence analysis were used to assess the interaction between FASN and signal transduction and transcription activator 3 (STAT3). The expression of STAT3, p-STAT3, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 was detected after FASN knockdown using Western blot method. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test. Results: Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of FASN in HCC tissue was higher than that in adjacent tissues. iTRAQ, Co-IP and immunofluorescence analysis revealed that FASN interacted with STAT3. Western blot analysis showed that the expression of p-STAT3, MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased after FASN knockdown. Conclusion FASN may promote the metastasis of liver cancer by interacting with STAT3 and affecting the expression of MMP-2/MMP-9.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular systolic function with two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) in rats with simple obesity.Methods A total of 16 healthy male rats were fed with normal diet (NF group,n=6)and rich fat diet (group HFD,n=10) for 12 weeks.The parameters of conventional echocardiography were recorded,and the strain and strain rate of left ventricular myocardium were analyzed with 2D-STI.The degree of myocardial fibrosis,mast cell infiltration and the expression level of light chain 3 (LC3) protein were observed.Results Compared with NF group,in HFD group,the weight,abdominal circumference,abdominal fat content,fasting blood glucose and triglyceride increased (all P＜0.05),while the radial strain rate of anterior septum,the radial strain of anterior septum and anterior wall in left ventricular decreased (all P＜0.05),so did the longitudinal strain and strain rate in posterior septal basal segment,middle segment,apical segment and lateral wall basal segments in left ventricle (all P＜0.01).In HFD group,the arrangement of cardiac muscle cells was disordered,and the fat vacuoles was found;the myocardial collagen fiber deposition and the infiltration of mast cells obviously increased,while the expression of LC3 protein decreased.Conclusion The left ventricular function of early stage obese rats has been damaged in varying degrees when no obvious changes of heart structure could be observed.
