Objective:To compare clinical characteristics of acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods:41 patients with CSC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were studied, according to the course, they were divided into acute central serous chorioretinopathy group (A group, 29 eyes of 29 cases) and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy group (B group, 12 eyes of 12 cases). All patients underwent the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), subretinal fluid thickness (SRF) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) examination. The imaging characteristics of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) were compared between the two groups.Results:The BCVA, SRF and SFCT in A group were higher than those in B group ( P<0.05). FFA in group A showed that the leakage of ink diffusion or smoke type fluorescein leakage. FFA in group B showed that the fluorescein leakage was single or multiple in macular area, and atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells was observed. OCTA of group A showed that the choroidal capillary layer showed high blood flow signal, low blood flow signal around the outside, or coarse granular high signal, and no choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was found. OCTA in group B showed that the image of choroidal capillary layer was similar to that of group A, but in group B, 2 eyes (2/12) had CNV with obvious morphology. Conclusions:Clinical characteristics of acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy are different. OCTA has definite application value in follow-up and detection of CNV.

The main form of the postgraduate medical training in China is residency standard-ized training, while the residency training system in some European and American developed countries is relatively mature.

BackgroundHypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α) specific double-stranded RNA ( dsRNA ) mediated by liposome inhibit reinal neovascularization in mice at dose-dependent manner. ObjectiveThe present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of dsRNA targeting HIF-1α on retinal neovascularization in mice.MethodsModels of oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization were set up in C57BL/6J mouse through exposure of postnatal day 7 ( P7 ) to (75±3) ％ oxygen for 5 days.Fluorescein conjugated Dextran angiography of retinal vascular was performed to identify the retinal neovascularization.The 8 mice of the normal group were raised in the room air.Fifty-one P7 mice exposed to(75±3)％ oxygen for 5 days and then returned to the room air and assigned to control group ( 3 mice),empty vector group( 3 mice) and gene therapy group (45 mice),and the latter were medially divided to 9 groups randomly according to dose-ratio ( liposomes ∶ plasmid).The pSilencer 2.1-U6 hygro was injected in the model mice of empty vector group,and different dose-ratios of pSilencer2.1-U6 hygro-HIF-1α dsRNA were injected respectively in the model mice of various gene therapy groups.Fluorescein conjugated Dextran angiography of retinal vascular was performed to observe the morphology of new blood vessels,and retinal slides were prepared to score the numbers of nuclei extending beyond the inner limiting membrane( ILM ),and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) was detected in the retina by immunohistochemistry.Results The retinal blood vessels of the normal group formed a fined radial branching pattern.The retinal vascular patterns in the control group and the empty vector group were characterized by decreased central perfusion in both the superficial and the deep layers.The abundant vessels were distorted and irregular in the control group and empty vector group,and the obstructed capillary and lots of neovascular tufts were seen.The retinal neovascularization and non-perfusion distraction in the every gene therapy group were reduced markedly with the most severe appearance in 1 ∶ 1 ( liposomes ∶ plasmid) dose-ratio group.Few vascular endothelial cell nucleus extending beyond the ILM were found in the normal group;while a large number of vascular endothelial cell nucleus were showed in the control group and empty vector group with the occurring rate 100％.Statistically,no significant difference was seen in the number of nuclei extending beyond the ILM between the control group and the empty vector group(11.57±5.85 vs 11.53±6.15),however,that in 1∶1 (liposomes∶plasmid) group was reduced markedly ( 2.17 ± 4.23 ) ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Immunohistochemistry revealed that VEGF was faintly expressed in the normal group but strongly expressed in the control group and the gene therapy group.VEGF expressions of various gene therapy groups were weaker than ones of the control group and the empty vector group.ConclusionsRetinal neovascularization can be efficiently inhibited by intravitreal injection of the pSilencer2.1-U6 hygro-HIF-1α dsRNA mediated by liposome.Proportion of 1 ∶ 1 (liposomes ∶ plasmid)has a maximized efficiency.

Objective To investigate the calculation method and its inlfuencing factors of Z scores in the aortic root diameters measured by echocardiography in children. Methods A total of 105 children with median age 19 months, who came to Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from March 2012 to October 2012 were included. The diameters of aortic ring (ARD) and aortic sinus (ASD) were measured by two dimension echocardiography, Z scores of ARD and ASD were calculated using two different normal reference values regression equation and mean square error derived from Shenzhen children′s hospital (C method) and Pettersen et al (P method). The regression equation from C method and body surface area (BSA) formula from P method were adopted to calculate Z scores of ARD and ASD (ZH method). The Z results of ARD and ASD calculated by those three methods were compared and were analyzed for their normality probability distributions. Results Z scores of ARD and ASD derived from C method were all showed as normal distribution (P=0.067 and 0.650). Z scores of ARD and ASD derived from P method were all showed as normal distribution (P=0.208 and 0.970). Z score of ARD derived from ZH method was showed as non-normal distribution (P=0.027), but Z score of ASD was normal distribution (P=0.430). There were no significant differences in ARD-Z calculated by C method (0.41±0.89), P method (0.23±0.85) and ZH method (0.36±0.94) (F=1.117, P=0.309). There were signiifcant differences in the Z scores of ASD calculated by C method (0.38±0.89), P method (0.58±0.71) and ZH method (0.36±0.84) (F=5.443, P=0.005). Z scores of ARD (r=0.917, P=0.000) and ASD (r=0.900, P=0.000) calculated by C method correlated well with that by P method. Conclusions Calculation method of BSA and normal reference values regression equation were the main influencing factors of Z score value in quantifying children aortic root diameters by echocardiography. For the clinical applications. The normal reference value should be used which is suitable for the Chinese children.
