International Eye Science 2014;(7):1247-1249
AlM:To compare the efficacy and complication of extra-trabeculotomy in combination with trabeculectomy and trabeculectomy and compound trabeculectomy in the treatment of primary infantile glaucoma.
METHODS: Patients with primary infantile glaucoma undergone one of the three procedures from Jan 2006 to Jan 2014 were selected. Among them, group A ( 20 patients, 31 eyes ) underwent extra- trabeculotomy in combination with trabeculectomy, group B ( 20 patients, 32 eyes ) underwent trabeculectomy, while group C ( 20 patients, 30 eyes) underwent compound trabeculectomyRESULTS:The success rates in group A were 96. 8% at the time of discharge and 90. 3% during follow-up (mean 24mo) ; the rates in group B were 96. 9% and 81. 2%( mean 24mo) the rates in group C were 83. 3% and 76. 7%( mean 24mo ) respectively, the differences being significant (P <0. 05). ln group A and group B, there was no severe complications, while in group C, one case had vitreous prolapse.
CONCLUSlON: Extra - trabeculotomy in combination with trabeculectomy is more efficacious and safer than trabeculectomy and compound trabeculectomy in the treatment of primary infantile glaucoma. lt should be the first choice for primary infantile glaucoma.

Objective To know the effect of psychological nursing for aged patients with femoral neck fractures when cured by artificila hip replacement. Methods Divided 158 aged patients with femoral neck fractures into the intervention group (84 cases) and control group (68 cases) randomly. Routine nursing cares were used in the control group, while the psychological nursing intervention were used in the intervention group in addition. Compared the degree of postoperative pains and preoperative anxiety between the two groups, and then evaluated the function of limbs. Results The degree of postoperative pains and preoperative anxiety in the interventioni group was better than that of in control group respectively, the condition of limb function was better in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusions Psychological intervention can promote rehabilitation for aged patients with femoral neck fractures when cured by artificila hip replacement, which can guarantee the satisfactory prognosis.

Objective To discuss the anatomical and radiographic parameters of medullary screw fixation of anterior acetabular column so as to provide reference for clinical application. Methods Thirty cadaveric pelvic specimens (including 18 males and 12 females) were involved in the study and fixated re-spectively with 30 retrograde medullary cannular lag screws through pubic tubercle to acetabular posterosu-perior on the left side and with 30 anterograde medullary cannular lag screws through acetabular posterosu-perior to pubic tubercle on the right side. Then, two-dimensional multiplanar CT reconstruction was done to measure the angle and length of the anterograde and retrograde medullary screw trajectory, the relationship of screws with acetabular bone and penis and determine optimal point and angle of screw insertion. Re-suits The entrance of the retrograde medullary screw was located at pubic tubercle, with vertical dimen-sion of ( 17.15±1.82) mm to pubic symphysis and that of (20.51±2.19) mm to superior margin of pu-bis. For the anterograde medullary screw, the distance from the entrance of the screw to greater sciatic notch was (33.25±2.35) mm, with safe insertion angle of (32.1±2.7)°of cephalon tilting at the sagittal plane and (46.5±3.6)°of lateral tilting at the coronal plane. The entrance angle of the anterugrade and retrograde medullary screw trajectory was similar, with only opposite direction and minor difference between the left and the right sides (P>0.05). The length of medullary screw trajectory was (119.5±2.2) mm, with insignificant difference between both sides ( P >0.05). The maximum diameter of the screw was 7.2 mm. Conclusions Medullary screw fixation of anterior acetabular column is clinically feasible but needs rather high accuracy and can be used as an alternative to plate fixation.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the effect of Chinese herbs used by Prof. LI Tao on peripheral blood T subsets in treating multiple sclerosis (MS) by using association rules and statistical methods, thereby providing evidence for optimizing prescriptions.
METHODSData of MS inpatients and outpatients recorded by data collecting system, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences were resorted. The relationship between Chinese herbs and T cell subsets were analyzed using SPSS17.0 and Aprior module in SPSS Clementine 12.0.
RESULTSRadix bupleuri, Radix Paeoniae alba, Fructus Aurantii, Atractylodes, and Radix Glycyrrhizae were most commonly used herbal combinations.Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata and Rhizoma Smilacis glabrae were often added. Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata was associated with decreased Th1 cells (confidence level 83.78%, supportive level 36.26%). Decreased Th1 cell was associated with Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata (confidence level 71.26%, supportive level 36.26%).Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata was obviously associated with decreased Th1 cells. Radix Bupleuri, Radix Paeoniae alba, bitter orange, Atractylodes , Radix glycyrrhizae, and Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata could reduce peripheral blood Th1 subsets of MS patients and elevate Th2 subsets (all P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSThe herbal combination of Radix Bupleuri, Radix Paeoniae alba, Fructus Aurantii, Atractylodes, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Rhizoma Smilacis glabrae, and Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata could lower peripheral blood Th1 cells and elevate Th2 cells, and prevent the relapse of MS possibly by reducing Th1 cells and elevating Th2 cells. Especially Radix Aconiti lateralis preparata played important roles in aforesaid changes of Th1 and Th2.

Objective To investigate the relation between retinol binding protein-4(RBP4) levels and metabolic parameters and to explore the correlation between RBP4-G 803 A SNP and metabolic syndrome.Methods One hundred and sixteen metabolic syndrome(MS) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 93 healthy controls were included.Serum RBP4 level was measured by RIA.RBP4-G 803 A different genotypes were examined by PCR and sequence analysis.Results RBP4 levels showed significant positive correlations with BMI,waist circumference,FINS,HOMA-IR,and TG in all the participants,with TG,TC,and LDL-C in control,with DBP in males,and with age,FINS,HOMA-IR,TG and SBP in females.In multiple stepwise regression analysis,RBP4 was independently associated with BMI,waist circumference,TG and age.Serum RBP4 concentrations were significantly higher in MS group than in control.RBP4 levels were higher in males as compared to females.In control,RBP4 level was lower in subjects with regular exercise.There was no significant difference in the frequency of RBP4-G 803 A genotypes and alleles in MS group and neither difference in metabolic parameters between the carriers of GG+GA and AA.Conclusion In Chinese Han population,serum RBP4 concentrations are correlated with various metabolic parameters and there is no relation between RBP4-G 803 A SNP and metabolic syndrome.
10. Effect and mechanism of tanshinone IIA on TGF-β1 induced human skin fibroblast proliferation
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2020;51(18):4685-4690
Objective: To study the effect and mechanism of tanshinone IIA on human skin fibroblasts cell (HSF). Methods: CCK- 8 method was used to determine the effect of different concentrations of TSA on the proliferation of HSF induced by TGF-β1. The plate cloning ability of HSF treated with different concentrations of TSA (2.5, 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L) for 48 h were analyzed by plate clonogenesis assay. The protein expression of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway proteins and α-SMA, VEGFA and COL I were further measured by Western blotting. Results: CCK-8 and plate clonognesis assay results showed that TSA significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony forming efficiency of HSF (P < 0.01). Western blotting results revealed that each concentration group of TSA significantly inhibited the protein levels of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3, and down-regulated the ratio of p-Smad2/Smad2 (P < 0.01). The ratio of p-Smad3/Smad3 was significantly decreased in 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L TSA groups. Additionally, the expression levels of α-SMA, VEGFA and COL I in HSF decreased significantly with the increase of TSA concentration (P < 0.01). Conclusion: TSA exhibits the inhibitory effect on proliferation of HSF, and its mechanism may be related to TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.
