Purpose To observe the changes of choroidal circulation and the retinal lesions caused by ocular contusion with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Methods ICGA examination was performed on 30 cases (30 eyes) of various traumatic condition in conjunction with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Results FFA of 19 cases (63.3%) showed the hypofluorence in quadrant or whole disc in accordance with the area of delayed filling of choroid. Twenty six cases (86.2%) showed defected choroidel perfusion in ICGA,among them 16 cases showed localized delayed perfusion, in which the shortest perfusion time was 1 min 50 s and the longest time was 5 min.43 s,and 10 patients showed localized perfusion defect,and reversed filling time of retinochoroid vessels in 6 patients. Five cases (16.6%) had delayed filling time in both choroidal and central retinal vessels. Damage of retinal pigment epithelium was found in the areas of choroidal abnormal perfusion. Conclusion ICGA combined with simultaneously FFA, is valuable in evaluating blunt injury of the ocular fundus and beneficial to its diagnosis and treatment.

Objectives To compare the effects of different early enteral nutrition formula on improving metabolic status of burned patients. Methods Thirty cases of burned patients with total burn surface area (TBSA) more than 30% were randomly divided into two groups:⑴Group F, enteral feeding with Fresubin 750MCT containing MCT/LCT as fat source, ⑵Group N, enteral feeding with Nutrison containing only LCT as fat source. All of the thirty patients received isocaloric, isonitrogenous and isolipidic enteral feeding with intragstric tube and enteral feeding pump, within 24h of postburn. Plasma insulin, glucagons, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and 3-methylhistidine in urine were measured on day 1,4,7and 10 days of postburn. Results The results showed that the patients of group F had an increased blood concentration of insulin and the ratio of insulin/ glucagons, a decreased plasma concentration of TNF, and a reduced excretion of 3-methylhistidine in urine as compared with the patients of group N. Conclusions An enteral compound diet containing MCT/LCT in the early enteral feeding in burned patients can improve the metabolic status of burned patients more effectively.

Objective:To study the correlation between the expression of anti-mullerian hormone( AMH) and insulin resistance (IR)degree in serum and local ovary and single follicle induced by polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)model. Methods: PCOS rat model was constructed by DHEA method. and then calculate the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance( HOMA-IR) val-ues. according to HOMA-IR value ,the object is simple screening PCOS group,PCOS merger IR group and control group were detected by immunohistochemistry model mice, the expression of AMH and insulin receptor in serum and single follicle and ovary were checked. Results:The serum FINS level and HOMA-IR was significantly higher in PCOS with IR group compared with that in control group and PCOS without IR group(P<0. 05);while the combined IR PCOS group T,Flns and HOMA-IR was significantly higher in the control group(P <0. 05);Pearson correlation analysis showed that local ovarian AMH expression of insulin receptor expression was no significant correlation(r=0. 015,P>0. 05);ovary AMH expression and serum insulin significantly was correlated(r=0. 671,P=0. 003),a single follicle AMH expression of insulin receptor expression was no significant correlation(r=0. 011,P>0. 05);HOMA-IR and serum AMH had significant positive correlation(r=0. 683,P=0. 001). Conclusion: AMH were positively correlated with serum insulin levels in PCOS rat. The expression of AMH in partial ovarian was positively correlated with the insulin receptor, while the expression of AMH in single follicle was no significant correlation with the insulin receptor. Howerer,whether the expression of AMH is correlation with hyperandrogenism has need further study.

Objective To evaluate the renal function response to vasopressin in obstructed and non-obstructed kidney in vasopressin-deficient rats by using dynamic enhanced MRI. Methods This study included 26 vasopressin-deficient Brattleboro(BB)rats.Unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) model was set up in 12 BB rats.After releasing UU0 24 h,treatment of AVP was given in 7 non-obstrueted and 7 obstructed BB rats for 6 d.Seyen normal Wistar rats and 7 BB rats were used as control.Dynamic enhanced MRl was performed at 0-60 min following the administration of GadoliniumDTPA(0.05 mmol/kg)and the mean relative signal intensity(RSI)was measured. Results BB rats RSI increase occurred during the first minute,with a maximum mean RSI of(149±10)%in cortex,(155±13)%in medulla and(146±13)%in pelvis.Then,a gradual decrease in the cortical RSI occurred,after which a small increase was observed in Phase 3.BB rats RSI patterns were different from Wistar rats.After AVP treatment,mean RSI of BB rats in cortex,medulla and pelvis reached a maximum of(180±6)%,respectively at 30 sec,followed by a fast decrease at 1 min.Then,RSI decreased gradually.Phase 3 demonstrated a moderate increase in medullary and a relative large increase in pelvic RSI until 30 min after injection,after which RSI returned to baseline.BB rats RSI patterns after AVP treatment were similar to that of Wistar rats.Cortical,medullary and pelvic mean RSI increased slowly compared to non UUO rats.In phase 3,mean RSI of all segments decreased gradually.UUO rats RSI patterns were different from non UUO rats.After AVP treatment in UUO rats,mean RSIs of all segments increased faster compared to UUO rats without AVP.Cortical mean RSI reached a maximum of(193±7)% at 2 mim Mean RSI of medulla were unchanged,but the pelvic mean RSI deereased gradually to a minimum of(77±5)%at 5 min.Phase 3 was characterized by a slight recovcry of all RSIs.UUO rats RSIs were recovered after AVP treatment.The renal blood flow(RBF)of UUO rats was decreased to(1.1±0.1)m1·min-1·100g-1,wherease the RBF was increased to (1.9±O.3)ml·min-1·100g-1 after injecting AVP. Conclusion Dynamic enhanced MRI may provide useful information for distinguishing between kidneys having changes in the renal vasopressin concentration and the kidneys suffer from the obstructed renal damage.

Objective: To compile and evaluate the Chinese version of perioperative nursing quality assessment scale, detect and verify the reliability and validity of evaluation scale, and establish a scientiifc evaluation system. Methods: We applied Tuija Leinonene and Helena Leino-kilpi scales as the theoretical framework, and established perioperative nursing quality assessment scale by translation, language study, and expert consultation. hTe questionnaire survey population was 276 patients who had surgery and 200 nurses working in the operating rooms at the 3 Affliated Hospitals of Central South University. hTe scale was tested validity and reliability. Results: Perioperative nurse quality evaluation scale consisted of 32 items and 7 dimensions, including body care, receive information, support, respect, medical staff characteristics, environment and nursing process. The test-retest reliability of scale was 0.977 for patients and 0.997 for nurses. hTe split half reliability of scale was 0.761 for patients and 0.887 for nurses. hTe Cronbach's α of total scale for the patients was 0.918, and the Cronbach's α of factors was 0.658-0.838. hTe Cronbach's α of total scale for the nurses was 0.932, and the Cronbach's α of factors was 0.650-0.836. hTe correlation coeffcient of scale for the patients was 0.363-0.603; the factors and the total correlation coeffcient was 0.535-0.788. hTe correlation coeffcient of scale for the nurses was 0.410-0.700; the factors and the total correlation coeffcient was 0.743-0.902. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the perioperative nursing quality assessment scale is a measurement instrument with a high level of validity and reliability for Chinese society and can be used to determine the quality of perioperative nursing care in our country.

Objective To evaluate MR imaging of peripheral nerve tumors of the lower extremity. Methods MR imaging of peripheral nerve tumors of the lower extremity in five cases proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively reviewed. In all patients, routine scanning was performed in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes, including T 1-weighted and T 2-weighted images. In two patients (schwannomas), T 1WI were obtained following intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA. Results There were four schwannomas (three benign and one malignant) and one malignant neurofibroma. Tumors arose at the following sites: leg ( n =2), popliteal region ( n =1), thigh ( n =1), and femoral region ( n =1). On T 1WI, tumors generally showed isointensity (two benign schwannomas) or lower-medium signal intensity to adjacent muscle with minimal inhomogeneity (one benign schwannoma, one malignant schwannoma, and one malignant neurofibroma). On T 2WI, tumors demonstrated inhomogeneous high signal intensity in all five patients. The target sign with peripheral hyperintense rim and central low intensity was see in two benign schwannomas on T 2WI. Conclusion MRI is useful in defining the location and extent of a lesion and in assisting the surgical planning. The target pattern appears to be a useful sign in the diagnosis of peripheral nerve tumors.
