Objective To observe the diameters of macular hole and destroyed boundary line between inner and outer segment (IS/OS) of the photoreceptors and the correlation with the visual acuity in patients with idiopathic macular hole(IMH). Methods The clinical data of 39 eyes (37 patients) with IMH were retrospective analyzed. All the patients had undergone the examinations of visual acuity (Snellen chart), intra-acular pressure, ocular fundus (indirect ophthalmoscope), and Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) whose speed was 27 000 A scan/s, area was 6.0 mm×6.0 mm, and the mode was 512×128. The diametres of macular hole and destroyed IS/OS, and the correlations with visual acuity were detected. Results The mean IogMAR was 0.99±0. 44 (ranged from 0. 15 to 2.00), the mean diameter of macular holes was (942.0± 348. 4)μm(ranged from 171 to 1491 μm), and the mean diameter of IS/OS disruption was (1870. 35±673.2) μm(range from 463 to 3176 μm). There was a significant correlation among the diameter of the macular hole, the diameter of the IS/OS disruption, and IogMAR in IMH (P= 0. 038, 0. 002, 0. 000). In eyes with closed macular hole after surgery, the IogMAR and the diameter of the IS/OS disruption had a significant decrease. Conclusion Using FD-OCT the photoreceptor changes can be visualized in vivo. The abnormality in the IS-OS boundary line appears to be involved for a much larger area beyond the macular hole itself, and persists there with small size even after the maeular hole closure surgery.

In recent years, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in China has been increasing year by year, and it has become a major public health concern. The prevention and control of chronic CVD is inseparable from effective early screening. However, due to the imbalance in the level of economic and social development in various parts of China, the universality and accessibility of screening in some areas still need to be improved. The fundus retinal blood vessel is the only vessel in the whole body that can be directly observed. Studies have found that its morphological and functional changes are related to the occurrence and development of many CVD, and it has the potential to become a tool for assessment and prediction. This review intends to introduce the research progress of retinal blood vessels in the evaluation and prediction of cardiovascular disease in recent years.

Objective To explore the changes of etiology and mortality of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in the last 20 years in Guangdong region. Methods A total of 3140 UGIB cases diagnosed in Guangdong General Hospital from January 1990 to October 2009 were analyzed with retrospective analysis. Groups were divided according to admission chronological order and age to analyze the causes of UGIB to get the trend of changes and influencing factors. Results UGIB occurred more in men than in women, the gender ratio was 2. 5∶1. There was no significant change in gender composition between the first and later 10 years. Peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) was the main cause of UGIB in young and middle-age patients (age<60 years), especially duodenal ulcer (DU)bleeding (45. 0%) , and secondary was acute gastric mucosal lesion ( AGML) (16. 6%). While in elder patients group (age≥60 years), the main cause of UGIB was AGML (40. 5%), the frequency was significantly higher compared with the young and middle-age group (40. 5% vs 16. 6%,P<0. 01).Compared the first 10 years with the later 10 years, the occurrence rate of PUB was overall in downward trend (57. 4% vs 42. 8%, P<0.01), of which DU and compound ulcer(CU) bleeding reduced significantly (DU: 43.8% vs 27.7%, P<0. 01 and CU: 7.7% to 5.5%, P<0. 05). While the incidence of gastric ulcer (GU) (7.4% vs 8. 1% ,P>0. 05) and esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EVB) (11. 7% vs 12. 9%, P>0.05) remained stable. The occurrence of AGML bleeding significantly increased than before (32. 4% vs 18. 8%,P<0. 01), and became one of the most important causes of UGIB. Conclusions PUB is still the most important cause of UGIB in Guangdong region. AGML becomes another important cause of UGIB in elder patients, which may relate to the increasing use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anti-platelet and antineoplastic medicine.

Objective To investigate the value of differential diagnosis for subcortical ischemic vascular dementia(SIVD)and Alzheimer's disease(AD)with memory and executive screening(MES) scale. Methods Fifty SIVD and 50 AD patients treated in the outpatient and wards of the Department of Neurology,Fuxing Hospital,Capital Medical University from June 2012 to November 2013 were enrolled retrospectively. They were enrolled in either a SIVD group or an AD group. Fifty healthy subjects in Yuetan community of Fuxing hospital were selected as a control group at the same period. The age,sex and education level of the subjects in the 3 groups were matched. The Mini-Mental State Examination( MMSE) and MES were used to measure all subjects and were compared;receiver operating characteristic curves was used to analyze the radio of memory and executive part for SIVD and AD discrimination. Results (1)There was no significant difference in total MMSE score between the SIVD group and the AD group(20. 6 ± 5. 5 vs. 20. 6 ± 3. 3;P>0. 05).(2)There were significant differences in each MES indexes among the patients of the 3 groups(all P>0. 05). The 1,3,4 and 5 scores for the sentence memory in the SIVD group were significantly higher than those of the AD group. There were significant differences(all P<0. 01). The indicators of executive part:the continuous action,instruction and action contradictory stimulation,knock and un-knock with finger scores of the SIVD group were all lower than those of the AD group(5. 1 ± 3. 1 vs. 7. 3 ± 2. 1, 5. 2 ± 3. 0 vs. 7. 7 ± 1. 9,3. 5 ± 4. 4 vs. 6. 2 ± 4. 3;all P<0. 01). The MES-R of the SIVD group was higher than that of the AD group(1. 2 ± 0. 7 vs. 0. 5 ± 0. 2;P>0. 05).(3)When MES-R was≥0. 7,the sensitivity and specificity of differentiating SIVD were 76. 7% and 83. 3%,and the total score of MMSE for differentiating the sensitivity and specificity of SIVD were 40. 0% and 0. 7%. Conclusion The differences of MES reflecting sentence memory and executive part may better distinguish the patients with SIVD and AD.
