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 study tissue tropism of TT virus in experimentally infected Rhesus monkey. Methods Various tissues were collected from 5 experimentally infected monkeys during the viremic period. Total DNA was extracted from tissues of 5 experimentally infected Rhesus monkeys. A dot hybridization was done with virus double DNA strand probe or single antisense strand probe. Results The double strand probe was hybridized with DNA of liver, bone marrow, spleen, stomach, small intestine and colon. The single strand antisense probe was hybridized only with DNA of liver, small intestine and bone marrow of all 5 monkeys, but not with that of other tissues.Conclusions As the viral genome is of negative polarity, the plus stranded fragment identified in our study might be a replicative intermediate, and is only demonstrated in liver, small intestine, and bone marrow by dot blot hybridization with single stranded antisense probe. It suggests that TT virus might be, tropism of liver, small intestine, and bone marrow, and replicate in tissue mentioned.

Objective To investigate the changes of umbilical adiponectin(APN) levels in newborn whose mothers with gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT).Methods Eighteen neonates of GIGT pregnancies and 50 controls of normal glucose tolerance (NGT) pregnancies were studied.APN concentration was qualified in the umbilical vein serum with radioimmunoassay methods.Capillary blood glucose was measured at the first hour after delivery.Results Umbilical APN level in the GIGT group was significantly higher than that in NGT group [(61.06?16.85)mg/L vs(48.04?15.47)mg/L,t=2.38 P0.05).Conclusions Umbilical serum APN levels are elevated in newborns of GIGT mo-thers.This may be due to the dysregulation of serum APN levels associate with GIGT pregnancy.More attention shall be paid to the metabolic changes of GIGT mothers and their offspring.

0.05].After 12 week treatment,the YGTSS total score in study group was significantly lower [(27.88?14.24) vs(36.53?17.45) scores] and the reduction rate of YGTSS score was significantly higher [(43.12?18.42)% vs(33.49?14.38)%] compared with those in control group(Pa

Objective To explore the relationship between tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-? promoter G238A,G308A and interferon(IFN)-?+874A/T polymorphism and susceptibility to cytomegalovirus(CMV) hepatitis.Methods A TaqMan fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(PCR) in the IFN-?+874A/T and TNF-? gene promoter region single nucleotide polymorphism was tested in the subjects,including 87 infants with CMV hepatitis and 89 children without CMV hepatitis.Results No evident difference of TNF-? +238G/A and+308G/A allele frequency was found between infants with CMV hepatitis and controls.The cases of IFN-?+874 AA,AT and TT genotype were 64,20,3 cases in the infant CMV hepatitis group,and 45,26 and 18 cases in the control group,respectively.There was significant difference in IFN-?+874 allele genotype and frequency between infants with CMV hepatitis and the control group(P=0.001,P

OBJECTIVE To discuss the available methods of preventing the mattress pollution in the wards of the(hospital), and to keep the mattresses clean and dry and eliminate the hidden danger of nosocomial infection.(METHODS) The mattress protective covering is used of a new type of textile materials,and then applied into clinic.Selected 100 pieces of mattresses in the wards,divided them equally into two groups at random,the(experimental) group and the control group.After cleaning and pasteurization(surface) sampling and bacterial culturing for every mattress were undertaken.For the experimental group,spread the protective(covering) before the sheet,and for the control group,used the sheet directly.The colony number of each group was compared in the 3rd,7th,and 14th days.RESULTS The mattresses of experimental group were clean,light polluted and with less colonies,and that of the control group were heavy polluted and with more colonies.The comparisons of the total colony number and the number of every sampling point in the 3rd,7th,and 14th days of the two groups showed that there was a(significant) difference(P
