As a new rising edge discipline,neuro-ophthalmology is a subject of extensive radia-tion,with low awareness and poor efficiency. Specialists of General Hospital of PLA summarized a practi-cable series of teaching ideas and methods including teaching thoughts,strategies and methods. Combi-nation of traditional theory and practice with the use of modern means and platforms were introduced and satisfactory results were achieved.

Objective To investigate the effects of uterine benign disease in perimenopausal women underwent simultaneous hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy on pelvic pseudocyst,ovarian function and symptoms of peri-menopausal period.Methods Nine hundred and ninety-three patients with benign uterine disease underwent hysterectomy of total or subtotal uterus were selected as our subjects,who hospitalized from Jan 2005 to Dec 2009.All patients were followed up for 36 months,and 235 patients were lost.The rest 758 patients included 438 patients underwent simultaneous hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy,who were served as study group,and 320 patients underwent only hysterectomy were served as control group.The occurrence of pelvic pseudocyst,symptoms of peri-menopausal period and the changes of serum sexual hormone were observed.Results (1) The rate of pelvic pseudocyst was 1.6％ (7/438) in study group,which was significantly lower than that in control group (4.4％ (14/320),x2 =10.962,P =0.026).(2) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in study group at 6 months and 12 months after surgery were (17.7 ±2.3) U/L and (26.8±5.1) U/L,higher than that in control group((12.3 ±2.9) U/L,(22.4 ± 3.2) U/L,t =-1.020,-1.162,P ＜ 0.05);FSH in study group(34.0 ± 6.8) U/L was lower than that in control group (39.1 ± 4.9) U/L at 36 months after surgery,and the difference was statistically significant (t =-1.209,P ＜ 0.05).At 3 months and 12 months after surgery,luteinizing hormone (LH) in study group were (14.0 ± 2.3) U/L and (26.2 ± 3.1) U/L,higher than that in control group ((11.7 ± 2.6) U/L,(21.6 ± 1.9) U/L; t =-1.421,-0.962,P ＜ 0.05).Estradiol in study group was (90 ± 23) pmol/L,lower than that in control group((110 ± 18) pmol/L) at 24 months after surgery(t =-1.502,P ＜0.05).(3) At 6 months after surgery,the rate of perimenopausl systems was 21.7％ (95/438) in study group,higher than that in control group (14.1％ (45/320),x2 =9.102,P =0.027).However,at 24 months after surgery,the rate of perimenopausal symptoms in control group was 60.6％ (194/320),higher than that in study group (47.0％ (206/438),x2 =7.620,P =0.039).Conclusion Simultaneous hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy could decrease the occurrence of pelvic pseudocyst and peri-menopausal symptoms nearly equivalent to that of hysterectomy only in patients with benign uterine diseases.

Objective To explore an effective methods for percutaneous biopsy needle fixing which is guided by CT.Methods After the biopsy needle gets to the destination along with the aforehand route,the unique designs of hollow cylinder and the strip can fix the biopsy needle effectively.Results In 342 cases of CT-GUIDED percutaneous biopsy,329 cases get to the pathological organize which can make accord with pathological diagnosis requirement,and the rate of success is up to 95.9%.It can replace the artificial fixed device.Conclusion The simple gassiness retainer is a very practical assistant apparatus in CT interventionao radiongy,and prevents medical worker and patient relatives from contacting the danger of the X-ray,which worth popularizing and applying.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the dose-effect relationship of reptilase in hemostasis. METHODS: The effects of different doses of reptilase on bleeding time (BT), Blood coagulation and hemorheology in New Zealand rabbits were examined. RESULTS: Reptilase showed a significant hemostatic effect at the dosages of 0.023, 0.07, 0.21 and 0.63KU?kg-1, respectively, with the hemostatic effect lower in 0.63KU?kg-1 group than in 0.21KU?kg-1 group; and at the 4 different dosages, reptilase showed no significant effect on fibrinolysis system. At a dosage of 1.90 or 5.71KU?kg-1, reptilase showed a significant anticoagulation efficacy and enhanced fibrinolysis function. There was no significance in hemorheology among groups. CONCLUSION: At a dosage range of 0.21～0.63KU?kg-1, reptilase has an optimal hemostatic effect in New Zealand rabbits.

Smad3 is a major transporter in the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway.It is in charge of the transfer of TGF-β signal from the surface of the cell membrane into the nucleus.The TGF-β signal can be bound to the target gene in the nucleus and regulate its expression.Abnormalities in Smad3 expression level and functional status will lead to abnormal signal transduction,involving cell growth,proliferation,development,differentiation,migration,apoptosis and other basic life activities.This review focused on the differential expression of Smad3 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)and the adjacent tissue.The character of Smad3 in HCC is outlined in three parts:Smad3 upstream signaling source,Smad3 self-assembly maturation and Smad3 downstream effects,which may provide a summary and reference for the follow-up study on Smad3.

Objective To evaluate the effect of different types of tube feeding on swallowing function of stroke patients. Methods 60 patients with dysphagia post stroke were divided into observation group and control group with 30 cases in each group. The control group received indwelling nasogastric tube feeding, and the observation group received intermittent nasogastric tube feeding. They were assessed with Kubota Water Swallow Test (WST) and VGF on the 1st day and 30th day after admission. Results The scores of drinking test and VGF were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05) on the 30th day. Conclusion Long-term nasogatric tube feeding is effective on dysphagia in stroke patients.

Background Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)has been reported to have beneficial effect on cardiac dysfunction in post infarction and doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.Objective To investigate the effects of G-CSF on cardiac remodeling in cardiac hypertrophy induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ).Methods Thirty-six male wild type mice(WT)were allocated randomly to receive subcutaneously G-CSF(10 ?g/kg per day, n=9),or Ang Ⅱ(2.88 mg/kg per day,n=9),or Ang Ⅱ plus G-CSF(Ang Ⅱ 2.88 mg/kg+G-CSF 10 ?g/kg,n =9)for 4 weeks with untreated WT(n=9)as controls.Blood pressure and cardiac function were measured. Heart weight/body weight ratio,myocyte cross-sectional area and fibrosis area were determined.The mRNA ex- pression of osteopontin(OPN)in myocardium was detected by RT-PCR.The expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE),ACE2 and phosph-p70S6 kinase protein in myocardium were assessed by Western-Blot.Results Ang Ⅱ significantly elevated blood pressure(SBP,Ang Ⅱ:139.7?1.6 vs WT:108.7?2.3 mmHg,P0.05),but significantly attenuated the myocyte cross-sectional area(Ang Ⅱ+G-CSF:181.06?0.11 vs Ang Ⅱ:202.02?0.16 ?m~2,P

[Objective]To compare the differences of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD)and multiple sclerosis (MS) on pregnancy ,and analyze the mutual impact of pregnancy on the diseases.[Methods]Prospectively collected clinical information of 235 NMOSD patients and 125 MS patients ,including the annualized relapse rate (ARR),the Expanded Disability Status Scale(EDSS)and pregnancy outcomes. 70 NMOSD patients and 30 MS patients were screened out as information patients. The ARR and EDSS score in two groups were compared during the year before pregnancy,during pregnancy and after 1 year postpartum, respectively. 50 cases of normal pregnant women for the same period as the control group ,then to compared the difference of three groups on pregnancy outcomes.[Results]Attacks occurring during pregnancy or one year after childbirth/abortion in NMOSD and MS were 53.25%(41/77)and 20.00%(7/35)(P=0.001);The ARR during the first 3 months postpartum periods of NMOSD and MS group(2.65,2.51)was significantly higher than during the year before pregnancy(0.27,0.49,P < 0.001)and during pregnancy (0.32,0.2,P<0.001);The EDSS score of two groups increased after 1 year postpartum(3.06 ± 2.16,2.19 ± 1.28)than that during the year before pregnancy(1.58 ± 0.48,1.92 ± 1.29,P < 0.001)and during pregnancy(1.92 ± 1.35,1.67 ± 0.70,P < 0.001). There was no difference on ARR and EDSS score between NMOSD and MS group. NMOSD ,MS and normal control group had no dif?ference on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal weight.[Conclusions]Compared with MS,the attack of NMOSD had more closer relation?ship with pregnancy;both NMOSD and MS would increase the risk of disease relapsing and disability after pregnancy;the diseases had no effect on pregnancy outcomes.
