AIM: To analyze the application on frequency domain optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) technology of pathologic myopia optic disc neurosensory retinal thickness changes and its relationship with axis oculi, sex and age, and help for the early diagnosis of pathological myopia and primary open angle glaucoma.
METHODS:Collected 96 eyes of normal eyes ( axis oculi 23-24mm) and 153 eyes of pathologic myopia eyes ( axis oculi 25-27mm 80 eyes, >27mm 73 eyes). We measured the thickness of nerve fiber layer of the optic disc by OCT and analyzed their relationship with axis oculi, sex and age with multiple linear regression analysis.
RESULTS: The observation group showed significant smaller average thickness of peripapillary, superior, inferior, nasal than the control group ( P<0. 05 ); the difference in the temporal quadrant between the groups were no statistically significant differences (P>0. 05); The partial correlation coefficient of peripapillary average thickness of nerve fiber layer and axis oculi was -1. 31, gender was 5. 21, age was -0. 12.
CONCLUSION:The thickness of nerve fiber layer of the optic disc in the pathologic myopia eyes are decreased than normal eyes, axis oculi, sex and age are influenced factors. The pathologic myopia patients should use different index combined with optic nerve fiber layer thickness decreased to help for the diagnosis of early primary open angle glaucoma.

Objective To explore the relationships between serum adiponectin,IL-6 and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) degree in newborn infant.Methods Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay was used to detect the serum adiponectin and IL-6 in 58 neonatal HIE and 26 neonates without HIE.And all the data were processed by SPSS 10.0 software.Results The level of serum adiponectin in moderate and severe HIE at acute stage were significantly lower than that of mild and control groups(Pa0.05).The level of serum IL-6 in moderate and severe HIE at acute stage were significantly higher than that of the mild and control groups(Pa0.05).The level of adiponectin were significant negative correlation with IL-6(r=-0.852 P

Objective To investigate the situation and development of international literatures on geriatrics and gerontology in mainland China.Methods The literatures on geriatrics and gerontology written by mainland Chinese scholars as the first author were selected from Thomson Scientific database in 1979-2011 period.Researches on basic theory,summary reports of clinical practice and reviews were collected.The quantity of published articles,article types,international cooperation research and funding programs,hospital rankings,as well as the 2011 geriatrics professional journals,thesis topic disciplines distribution and high-performance papers were analyzed by Thomson Data Analyzer software.Results From 1979 to 2011,the quantity of literatures written by Chinese scholars as the first author (not including Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan regions) was 1927,including 1769 research articles,86 reviews,18 editorials,54 letters.Average paper was cited 7.6 times and the average number of article citation was 30.6.International cooperation research articles occupied 379 (19.7 ％).Articles with research sponsorship were 734 (38.1 ％),in which most subject discipline was geriatric and gerontology.Conclusions The development of geriatric medicine in China is rapid.The international scientific and technological cooperation is very extensive.It is important to further improve the world impact of geriatric medicine from China.The development of geriatric medicine in a large,cooperative,comprehensive,interdisciplinary,interagency direction,and the prospective,multicenter,cooperative study need to promote.It is extremely urgent to establish the English version of Chinese journals of geriatrics with a international influence.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of the author groups in 《Chinese Journal of Geriatrics》,in order to provide references for the future construction and development of the author ranks.Methods Bibliometric method was used to analyze the quantity of papers,region distributions,core authors and cooperative rate in 《Chinese Journal of Geriatrics》 from 2009 to 2013.Results The total amount of papers published in 《Chinese Journal of Geriatrics》》 from 2009 to 2013 was 1636,involving 31 provinces,autonomous regions,municipalities and administrative region.Among these,Beijing,Zhejiang,Tianjin and Jiangsu were the 3 top contributing regions,accounting for 54.0 percent (884/1636 papers).The 1636 papers were contributed by 1435 authors (first authors),of whom 1275 authors published only one paper,accounting for 87.7％ (1275/1435),and their papers accounted for 77.9％ of the total published papers (1275 /1636).27 authors had high yield of 3 or more papers published and deep influence,and they published 95 papers (5.8％).The degree of cooperation was 4.6 (7599 /1636),and the cooperation rate was 93.8％ (1534/1636) within the five years.Conclusions 《Chinese Journal of Geriatrics》is quite influential and attractive in the fields of geriatrics,and a good cooperative relationship is displayed between different authors and authors' institutions.

Objective To analyze the articles published in Chinese Journal of Geriatrics from 2008 to 2012 so as to understand the characteristics of published papers and research progress in geriatric medicine.Methods Based on Wanfang database,bibliometric analysis was conducted to analyze the quantity,types,authors,affiliations,fund support of all the articles published from 2008 to 2012 in Chinese Journal of Geriatrics.Results A total of 1567 papers were published in the journal from 2008 to 2012.The column with the most published papers was clinical research (1008 papers,64.3 ％),followed by experimental researches,reviews and lectures,investigations etc.The discipline with the most articles published in the journal was cardiovascular medicine,followed by surgery,neurology; respiratory etc.1356 authors from 506 affiliations published paper as the first author in the journal during this five years,with the maximal number being 7 papers and the major affiliation being affiliated hospitals of medical colleges (733 papers,49.3 ％).Authors from Beijing,Zhejiang,Jiangsu,Shanghai published more papers than those from other provinces.29.0％ (455papers) of the total papers were supported by fund,among which the majority was provincial fund,followed by national fund,municipal fund,ministry fund and military fund.Conclusions A relatively stable core author group has formed for Chinese Journal of Geriatrics,and the articles are of high quality.Chinese Journal of Geriatrics is one of the highest academic journals in geriatric medicine.

Objective To summarize the operative experience of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Method The clinical data of 15 patients underwent transumbilical singleport laparoscopic cholecystectomy between May to October in 2010 was reviewed. Results The operative time was 30-85(45±16) min,hospitalization time was (2.5 ± 1.1 ) d. No surgical complications such as bile leak or uncontrolled hemorrhage occurred postoperatively. All the incision were healed well and the surgical scar was virtually concealed whithin the umbilicus. Conclusions Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible and safe when patients are well selected. Comparing with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, it's more manipulatively difficult.

To investigate the assessed value of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for short-term efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: Serum concentrations of LDH and VEGF from 70 patients with primary liver cancer on the 1st day before therapy and the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 21st day after TACE ther-apy was determined. The benefit group includes complete remission, partial remission, and stable disease, while the invalid group in-cludes only disease progression. Results:The serum levels of LDH and VEGF in the invalid group were significantly higher than those in the benefit group on the 14th and 21st days after TACE (P<0.05). The percentage changes of the serum concentrations of LDH and VEGF in the invalid group were higher than those in the benefit group on the 21st day after TACE. Percentage changes on the 21st day after TACE were drawn into the ROC curve;the areas under the curve were 65.9%and 85.5%. The optimal cutoff points of LDH and VEGF, which correspond to the Youden index, were 0.272 and 0.745, respectively. Conclusion:The expression levels of VEGF and LDH can be used to assess the short-term efficacy of TACE. A lower expression level corresponds to short-term efficacy.
