Diabetic retinopathy(DR), one of the most common retinal vascular disease, is one of the causes of blindness for people over the age of 50.In the early stage of DR, microvascular cells are damaged, expand, start to leak, form micro hemangioma, then show occlusion, and non-perfusion area come into being, eventually form new blood vessels because of ischemia and hypoxia of retina.Illness develop into proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR).With the aggravation of the disease, PDR can cause the formation of fibrovascular membrane, the more serious fibrillation of epiretinal membrane, resulting in traction retinal detachment(tRD).Present studies suggest that aquaporins, the essential component of new blood vessels, including aquaporin 1 and aquaporin 4, play a significant pole in the development of diabetic retinopathy, causing the destruction of blood retinal barrier, inducing retinal edema, even macular edema, and participating in the formation of retinal angiogenesis.

AIM: To retrospectively analyze selection of operation, surgery effect, complications and treatment methods of super high myopia combined with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment( RRD) .
METHODS:A total of 47 cases(47 eyes) with the super high myopia patients combined with RRD who accepted scleral buckling of external pressure, vitrectomy combined silicone oil filling, or intravitreous gas injection were chosen in our hospital from Jan. 1, 2011 to Jan. 1, 2016. Best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA), intraocular pressure, retinal reattached rate, closure rate of holes and the postoperative complications of patients in half year were analyzed.
RESULTS:Half a year postoperation, BCVA of twenty-four cases underwent vitrectomy combined silicone oil filling were improving(71%), and eight cases with scleral buckling surgery were enhanced ( 73%) . Statistical test showed the surgical treatment could significantly improve patients'eyesight, especially PPV with silicone oil, but the BCVA of patients with scleral buckling of external pressure in this study had no obvious significance according to the rank sum test. Compare with other surgery, pars plana vitrectomy( PPV ) combined silicone oil filling had more complications, such as high intraocular pressure and diplopia.
CONCLUSION: The therapy of super high myopia patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment need many years' clinical experience, surgical skill of clinician and according to the number, the shape and the site of the retinal holes and area of detached retina, they need to choose the right means of surgery, and timely deal with postoperative complications, in order to improve the patients' postoperative retina, reset rate and visual function.

Through collecting and collating the development process of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing, the development of modern Chinese medicine dispensing on the basis of experience could be promoted. "Heyaofenji", "Hehe", " Heji" in ancient Chinese medicine, herbal medicine literature and law were collected, and then things were sorted out according to traditional Chinese medicine dispensing theory, skills and legal norms. Firstly, "Tang Ye Jing Fa" is the earliest book which marks the rudiment of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing. Secondly, traditional Chinese medicine dispensing theory formed in "Shen Nong's herbal classic". Thirdly, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" marked the formation of Chinese medicine dispensing skills. Lastly, Provisions in Tang Dynasty law marks the development of traditional Chinese medicine dispensing.

Background and purpose: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a malignancy of uncertain differentiation tumor characterized by a multinodular structure and abundant myxoid matrix. Its preferred sites were the deep soft tissues of the extremities. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of EMC. Methods: Seven cases of EMC were analyzed for clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features with review of the related literature. Results: It occurred predominantly in females (male/female=2︰5). Five cases were located in low extremities and two in upper limb girdles, more commonly near the joint. Grossly, the masses showed as grey, lobular and somewhat transparent with a relatively well-deifned margin. Microscopically, the small ovary or plump spindle-shaped cells arranged in strand and cord patterns and lobular architecture which separated by delicate fibrous networks with an abundant myxoid but hypovascular background. And the tumors were immunoreactive for vimentin, and partly for S-100 and EMA, meanwhile, negative for CK. Conclusion:EMC is a rare soft tissue sarcoma with distinctive histopathological features. It should be distinguished from some mimics especially those tumors with a myxoid stroma or chondroid differentiation, such as chordoma and chondrosarcoma.

Objective To evaluate the effect of comprehensive control of schistosomiasis along the Xinglong River in Qianji?ang City so as to provide the evidence for improving schistosomiasis control. Methods The comprehensive control measures including infection source control and Oncomelania hupensis snail eradication were surveyed along the Xinglong River in Qianji?ang City. Results The prevalence of schistosomiasis was under control that was the human and cattle infection rates decreased by 53.77%and 100%respectively the snail area decreased by 26.9% the mean density of living snails decreased by 25.5%and no infected snails was found. Conclusions The comprehensive control measures along the Xinglong River are effective and the management and surveillance of snail environments still should be strengthened.

Myopia is the highest incidence of eye disease in society, it threated people`s eye health seriously.At present, many researchers measure the structural changes of retina which caused by the extension of eye axial due to the refractive error according to the optical coherence tomography(OCT).Besides, multifocal electroretinography(mf-ERG) was used to detect the function of retina in myopia.Global flash mf-ERG can evaluate the function of retina including both outer and inner retina.Some researchers focus on the correlation between structural and functional changes in myopia using OCT and mf-ERG.More researches are needed to clarify the structural and functional changes in myopia.
8.Historical Evolution and Modern Research of the Processing of Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2018;25(7):134-136
This article is based on the Li Dai Zhong Yao Pao Zhi Zi Liao Ji Yao as a clue to review the historical literature and modern data on processing Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma in China, and summarized the relevant contents. Processing methods of Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma have history on the net system, cutting system, heating processing and various accessories processing records, but now the processing methods of Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma are relatively simple, only the methods of net production, ultra-micro-decoction, charcoal, and wine frying are included in the historical "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" and local processing specifications. In modern times, the processing methods of wine, licorice gentian, ginger, charcoal, vinegar, and salt for Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma have rationality and quality controllability. Through combing the historical evolution and research progress of processing of Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma, this article provided references for study on modern processing.

OBJECTIVETo study the effectiveness of sequential occlusal adjustment for kinetic food impaction.
METHODS36 patients who claiming food impaction with normal proximal contact were examined and analyzed about their occlusal relationship and configuration. Sequential occlusal adjustment was made to reduce pestle-mortar-like cusp, to create food escaping groove and to decrease mesial surface of the distal tooth cusp. One week, two weeks and six months later, the patients were reexamined and their oral conditions were evaluated.
RESULTSAn elimination of food impaction was claimed for 32 patients in one week appointment and all 36 patients in two-week appointment. Six months later, no patient reported food impaction.
CONCLUSIONThe use of sequential occlusal adjustment results in an effective elimination of some kind of kinetic food impaction.
