Abstract?AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effect of Lucentis in the treatment of anterior segment neovascularization ( ASNV ) induced by central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO) .?METHODS: This was a retrospective case series study for patients with ASNV secondary to CRVO from January 2013 to December 2014 and treated with intravitreal injection of lucentis. Best visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , iris examination and gonioscopy, and if necessary, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography, were recorded.The follow-up time was 6-13mo, the average was 9.1 ± 2.9mo.?RESULTS: Eighteen patients ( 18 eyes ) were treated with intravitreal injection of lucentis;15 patients (15 eyes) of the 18 were treated with panretinal photocoagulation;the other 3 patients 3 eyes were not received the photocoagulation because of vitreous opacity. One patient was treated with glaucoma valve implantation.Six patients with only neovascularization and without glaucoma were improved in visual acuity whose intraocular pressure was controlled after combined treatment.Of the patients with neovascular glaucoma ( n=12 ) , after intravitreal injection of lucentis and panretinal photocoagulation, the IOP was controlled in 4 patients (4 eyes);the IOP of another 7 cases reduced but glaucoma drugs were still needed.One patient ( 1 eye ) received glaucoma valve implantation because of bad control on IOP with worse vision after implantation.The rubeosis disappeared in all patients.?CONCLUSION:Intravitreal injection of lucentis can stop neovascularization and help to control IOP.In the early stage without neovascular glaucoma, lucentis has better effects, which means early detection and intervention are important.

Objective To explore the different characteristics of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation (LT)and hepatectomy(HC)in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The literatures about tumor recurrence of HCC after LT and HC were reviewed and their characteristics were compared.Results There are distinctions of recurrence rates,time,common sites between the recurred tumors after LT and HC,and their correlation factors and mechanisms of recurrence are also different.Conclusion Preventive measures should be strengthened and treatments should be more targeted according to the different characteristics of tumor recurrence after LT and HC to improve postoperative life quality and increase the survival rate.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Danshen Chuanxiongqin injection combined with Xuesaitong capsule on blood viscosity in patients with pulmonary heart disease.Methods 80 patients with pulmonary heart disease who were admitted to our hospital between January 2013 and November 2015 were studied,the patients were randomly divided into the combined group and the control group according to the order of admission,40 cases in each group.Control groups were treated with Xuesaitong capsule,and the combined group were treated with Danshen Chuanxiongqin injection on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy,blood viscosity(whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,whole blood viscosity ratio),blood indexes(blood platelet aggregation rate,erythrocyte aggregation index,erythrocyte deformation index),cardiac function and safety were observed.Results There were no significant differences in blood rheological indexes,LVEF,MAP and HR between the two groups before treatment.After treatment,the whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,whole blood viscosity ratio,platelet aggregation rate,erythrocyte aggregation index,erythrocyte deformation index,MAP and HR in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment,while LVEF was significantly higher,and the changes in the combined group were more significant than those in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the clinical total effective rate of treatment in the combined group(88.89％)was significantly higher than that in the control group(62.50％).Conclusion Danshen Chuanxiongqin injection combined with Xuesaitong capsule is effective in the treatment of pulmonary heart disease.It can significantly reduce blood viscosity,blood related indexes and improve cardiac function.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficiency of 0.1％ tacrolimus ointment combined with paroxetine in patients with neurodermatitis associated with insomnia.MethodsTotally,74 patients suffering from neurodermatitis and insomnia were consecutively enrolled in this study,and randomly assigned into the combination group and control group according to their number(odd or even).Both groups were given topical 0.1％ tacrolimus ointment twice a day,and the combination group was additionally given oral paroxetine 10 mg once a day,for 8 weeks.The outcome parameters included main symptoms of neurodermatitis and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) score.ResultsNo significant difference was observed in the cure rate (54.3％(19/35) vs.53.1％ (17/32),P＞ 0.05) or response rate (82.9％ (29/35) vs.81.3％ (26/32),P＞ 0.05),between the combination group and control group.PSQI score was significantly lower in the combination group than in the control group after 8 weeks of treatment(P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsThe 0.1％ tacrolimus ointment can be used to treat neurodermatitis safely.Antianxiety treatment can reduce the recurrence of neurodermatitis associated with insomnia,and improve the quality of sleep in patients.

Radiomics utilizes the high-throughput extraction of large amounts of quantitative features from radiographic images,giving a comprehensive quantification of tumor phenotype.Thus it can provide complementary and interchangeable information for clinical usage,such as differentiating malignant nodules from benign ones,predicting response to treatment,identifying lymph node metastasis,improving individualized treatment selection and monitoring.The advantages of radiomics give it great potential in precise treatment.But much work needs to be done before it could be used in practice.It is imperative that a standard research procedure is needed to verify its reliability and clinical value via multi-central prospective clinical trials.

Objective To investigate the method for the treatment of haemorrhage of all ventricles.Methods 46 cases were treated by continuous extrinsic drainage through puncture of the lateral ventricle which accumulated more blood combming with substitution of CSF by meams of lumbus puncture per day.Urokinase was injected into ventricle at regular intervals.Results The symptoms were improved.Head CT were reexamined in 41 cases,which showed disappearance of hematocele in ventricle within 4～15 days.Except for 5 cases of death,other cases recovered from the disease.Conclusion The hematocele above and below the duct in ventricle can be eliminated by this method,and the mortality rate can reduced greatly and the quality of survival can improved.

Objective: To evaluate the distribution and degradatio n of albumin microspheres (AMS) with average diameter of 56.3 ?m injected into jugular external artery.Methods: 125 I labeled AMS we re injected into rabbit's jugular external artery. The radioactive amount of loc al tissue and internal organs was measured. 760 ml/L urografin angiography was e mployed to observe the re opening of embolized vessels after AMS infusion of e xternal jugular artery in 5 dogs. Results: The AMS was mai nly concentrated in the target area (92.23%) after injection. The micro artery was obviously embolized by AMS and re opened in 7～9 days. Conclusio n : The AMS can be used as the drug bearer with delayed releasing eff ection.
