AIM: To observe the clinical effect of Ex - press glaucoma filtration device implantation under scleral flap for traumatic glaucoma.
METHODS: Totally 19 eyes of 19 patients with traumatic glaucoma were implanted with Ex - press glaucoma filtration device under the scleral flap from December 2012 to May 2013. The postoperative visual acuity, anterior chamber depth and hyphema,intraocular pressure(IOP), filtering bleb and other complications were observed and summarized.
RESULTS: Ex - press glaucoma filtration device were implanted successfully in 19 patients. At 1d postoperatively shallow anterior chamber was occurred in 2 eyes and hyphema was occurred in 3 eyes. At 3mo postoperatively increased vision was occurred in 9 eyes (47%),functional filtering bleb was occurred in 18 eyes ( 95%), and IOP was 12. 1 ± 6. 1mmHg. At 6mo postoperatively increased vision was occurred in 11 eyes (58%),functional filtering bleb was occurred in 18 eyes (95%),and IOP was 13. 3±6. 9mmHg. Compared with the preoperative IOP ( 29. 8 ± 6. 7mmHg), the difference was significant(P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Ex - press glaucoma filtration device implantationfor traumatic glaucoma can improve the postoperative vision and control the postoperative IOP stably with fewer complications and high safety.

Objective Using solid dispersion technique to prepare Silymarin Dropping Pill to accelerate dissolution and to improve bioavailability. A central composite design-response surface method was employed to select the optimum formulations. Methods Independent variables were Poloxamer 188 content and silymarin content, while dependent variables were disintegrating time and percent of silymarin dissoluted at a definite time. Linear, two and three order quadratic models were used to estimate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Response surfaces were delineated according to best-fit mathematic models and optimum formulations were selected there from. Prediction was carried out through comparing the observed and predicted values. Results Three order quadratic equation was the best-fitted mathematic models to describe the relationship between dependent and independent variables, with a regression coefficient of 0.998. Bias between observed and predicted values of disintegrating time and dissolution percentage of optimum formulation dropping pill were negligible, indicating the high predictability of the fit models. Percent dissolution of Silymarin Dropping Pill at 60 min was 19 times as that of conventional tablets. Conclusion Dissolution speed of silymarin can be effectively improved through incorporating into dropping pills. It shows that the optimum mathematic model is highly predictive. The central composite design-response surface method can be fairly used in formulation screening.

Objective:To study on the target antibody composition,the titer,and immune cross reaction of immunoglobulin products.Methods:ELISA kit for IgG antibody against varicella zoster virus,cytomegalovirus,herpes simplex Ⅰ and Ⅱ type virus,rabies virus,tetanus toxoid and IgG RIA kit specific to hepatitis virus surface antigen were utilized.The antibody titer of 5 kinds of specific immunoglobulin,and the IgG injection for either intramuscular or intravenous preparations was detected.Results:There were higher antibody titer against rabies,HBsAg and tetanus in the immunoglobulin preparations,probably due to the blood donors immunized with correspording vaccination.Compared with the antibody preparations of higher efficacy against cytomegalovicrus dotained by screening,there was a narrow disparity for the titer of the target antibody in the blood IgG preparations.In the population,also widespread existence for infection by varicella zoster virus and herpes simplex Ⅰtype virus,the antibody titer level was lower than those against cytomegalovirus,higher than herpes simplex Ⅱtype virus.Conclusion:All of the 7 kinds target antibody can be detected from the samples of immunoglobulin,antibody titer is related with active and passive immunity,higher titer of against cytomegalovirus can be induced by vaccine of varicella zoster virus,there is noticeable difference for antibody titer level between the intramuscular and intravenous injection immunoglobulin.

A simple and sensitive method was developed to screen ?-PL p ro duced strains from soils. 150mg/L K_2Cr_2O_7 was added to th e solid medium for actinomycetes enriching. A basic dye, methylene blue, incorp orated in the agar plate to detect alkali producers, because dye reacted with th e secreted basic polymers by electrostatic interaction with the secreted basic p dymers and formed special zoon. And then dragendorff regent was used to detect alkaloid producers. Four ?-PL producers were obtained by TLC analysis. Meanw hile, phylogenetic analysis of PL6-3 strain, including morphology, physiologica l and biochemical characters and chemotaxomy were performed and phylogenetic tre e was constructed based on the 16S rDNA sequences. And the results indicated th at PL6-3 strain is a member of Kitasatospora.

Objective To evaluate the CT and MRI imaging features of primary ventricular lymphoma ,so as to provide a reference for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease .Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of primary ventricular lymphoma in one case was retrospectively analyzed with literature review and compared with primary lymphoma in parenchymal brain .Results Slightly high density tumor presented with regular shape in the trigone of lateral ventricles on CT findings , and slightly low signal intensity on T 1 and slightly high signal intensity on T 2 appeared on MRI findings with small cystic necrosis in tumour .An enhancement scan showed obviously enriched, and there was perilesional edema.After 14 day’s dehydration treatment, rechecked indicated that the lesions were significantly en-larged, the shape were irregula , the area of cystic necrosis was enlarged , heterogeneous enhanced scanning were enhanced , perilesional ede-ma became more heavier , and the imaging feature of “closed fist” appeared .It was proved to be diffuse large B cell lymphoma with surgical pathologic examination , and there was no lymphoma in other regions of the body with whole body PET-CT examination , which was clinically diagnosed as primary ventricular lymphoma .Conclusion Primary ventricular lymphoma is rarely reported ,and it has similar imaging mani-festations with primary lymphoma in parenchymal brain .The combination of multiple imaging modalities will be helpful to diagnosis and dif -ferential diagnosis for the suspected patients .

Uveitis is an important autoimmune disease.Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-associated anterior uveitis is the most common form of anterior uveitis.HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis has distinct ocular,systemic,and genetic features.It attacks young subjects and leads to the damage of visual function due to the recurrence and complications.However,the pathologic mechanism of HLA-B27-associated anterior uveitis is still not thoroughly understood,and effective therapy is still unavailable.There are currently many experimental researches which attamp to study the etiology and develop an effective therapy for HLA-B27 acute anterior uveitis.Thus,various animal models of acute anterior uveitis such as endotoxin-induced uveitis and HLA-B27 transgenic animals including rat and mouse are established.Different therapy regimens have been designed both in clinical trial and experimental study and aquired promising achievements.Epidemiology,pathologic mechanism,different animal models and potential new therapies such as anti-TNFα,oral associated peptides tolerance and gene therapy are overviewed.
