Objective To analysis the clinical characteristics of kidney transplantation for the aged recipients and the influence of quadruple immunosuppressant on treatment result. Methods From 1990 to 2001,of 1251 cases of renal transpantation,the clinical data of 126 cases of the aged recipients over 60 years old were investigated.The aged recipients was divided into two groups;combination of cyclosporine(CsA),azathoprine(Aza) and corticosterioids was given in groupⅠ,In groupⅡ,except for CsA,mycophenolate mofetil(MMF),corticosteroids and Wu-T 3 quadruple therapy in the 47 cases aged recipients, Daclizumab or Basiliximab were injected in prophylaxis of acute rejection within 2 hours prior to transplantation and in someday after transplantation to the 24 aged recipients. The groupⅡ was compared with the groupⅠ in complications, the rate of acute rejection and the one-year-survival rate of patients/allograft.Results The rates of cardiocerebral vascular disease and infection complications in the aged recipients were higher than that in the non-elderly patients. In the groupsⅠ and Ⅱ, the postoperative complications was 74 55%and 38 03%, respectively;the rates of acute rejection were 12 73% and 4 23%,respectively;one year survival rate of patients/allografts was 81 82%/78 18% and 97 18%/95 77% respectively.Conclusions The cardiocerebral vascular disease and infection complications were the main factors affecting the outcome of renal transplantation in the aged recipients. The quadruple immunosuppressant regimens could reduce postoperative complications and acute rejection. At the same time one-year-survival rate of patients/ allografts have been improved in the aged patients.

With the increasing perfection and improvement of microsurgery technique in modern ophthalmology, especially the popularization of micro-incision cataract extraction and the rise of femtosecond-laser-assisted cataract extraction, the cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation is gradually transformed from vision rehabilitation surgery into refractive surgery and people also pursue better postoperative visual experiences. However, the preoperative and postoperative corneal astigmatism is always the main factor affecting the postoperative visual effect. ln recent years, the development of design and materials of the intraocular lens ( lOL) provided necessary basic conditions for clinical application of the Toric lOL. The Toric lOL is primarily characterized by effective correction of cataract patients′postoperative corneal astigmatism, which results in the enhancement of patients′postoperative visual function. ln this paper, the design, classification and clinical application of Toric lOL were analyzed, and current problems and prospect were discussed.

All the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time, and compounds 1, 4-8, 15 are obtained from Euphorbia species for the first time.

OBJECTIVETo explore causes of shoulder pain and propose prevention measures in treating acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to January 2013, 86 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy III) were treated with hook plate fixation, and were divided into two groups. Bsaed on recovery of shoulder function mostly, the patients who suffered from rest pain, motion pain were named as shoulder pain group, while the patients without pain were named as painless group. In shoulder pain group, there were 21 cases including 15 males and and 6 females ranging the age from 22 to 62 years old with an average of (40.6±11.2) years old. There were 8 cases were on the left side and 13 cases were on the right side. In painless group, there were 65 cases including 36 males and and 29 females ranging the age from 19 to 65 years old with an average of (40.0±11.3) years old. There were 33 cases were on the left side and 32 cases were on the right side. The time from injury to operation ranged from 3 h to 8 d with an average of 34.6 h. Shoulder function of all patients were normal before injuried. Postoperative pain, activity of daily living (ADL), range of motion, deltoid muscle strength were compared. Anteflexion,rear protraction, abduction and upthrow of shoulder joint were also compared. Postoperative complications between two groups were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of 18.5 months. Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate clinical efficacy at the least following up, and 13 cases got an excellent results, 5 moderate, 2 good and 1 poor in shoulder pain group ; while 61 cases were obtained excellent results, 3 moderate and 1 good in painless group. There were significantly differences between two groups in Constant-Murley score and activity of shoulder joint (P<0.05). In shoulder pain group, 3 cases were disconnected, 1 case occurred stress fracture, 9 cases were subacromial impingement syndrome, 5 cases occurred subluxation, 1 case occurred plate breakage and 11 cases were acromioclavicular arthritis.

CONCLUSIONChosing individual clavicular hook plate, fulfilling anatomic reset, paying attention to the repair of articular capsule ligament, and reducing hook and bone antagonism between stress is the key point of preventing and decreasing postoperative shoulder pain.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that platelet-rich fibrin has a good ability to induce gingival soft tissue repair and regeneration.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of platelet-rich fibrinversus colagen membrane on gingival soft tissue healing, and to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich fibrin to repair gingival defects.
METHODS:Twenty-two patients (2 premolar teeth and 20 molars) scheduled for premolar or molar removal or ridge preservation due to various reasons were selected and randomized into two groups. Bio-Oss was implanted into the extraction socket folowed by covering with platelet-rich fibrin or colagen membrane. Healing time and healing rate of gingival defects were detected to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich fibrin to promote gingival tissue healing at 1-2 weeks after Bio-Oss implantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The healing time was (12.17±2.25) days in the platelet-rich fibrin group and (17.30±2.58) days in the colagen group. The healing rate of the platelet-rich fibrin group was notably higher than that in the colagen membrane group at 1 and 2 weeks after Bio-Oss implantation. These findings indicate that platelet-rich fibrin is better than colagen membrane to improve the healing of gingival soft tissues with a shorter healing time.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of fungal septicemia in premature infants in a hospital,and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Clinical data of 18 premature infants with fungal septicemia in a hospital between January 2011 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Gesta-tional ages of 18 premature infants were 27-36 weeks,birth weights were 1 050 g-3 100 g,8 of whom were very low birth weight infants(VLBWI);all premature infants were treated with broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents,and were given long-term parenteral nutrition before infection,10 with mechanical ventilation,2 with peripherally insert-ed central catheters(PICC).The main clinical manifestations were apnoea,twitch,feeding difficulty,and poor reac-tion;manifestations appeared 3 hours-52 days after birth.13(72.22%)premature infants had abnormal white blood cell count,12 (66.67%)had thrombocytopenia (< 100 × 109/L),18 (100.00%)had elevated C-reactive protein (CRP),the average CRP level was (41 .90 ±26.77)mg/L.The main pathogens were Candida spp .(n = 17, 94.44%),including Candida parapsilosis (n=7),Candida albicans (n =5 ),biovariety of Candida albicans (n =4),and Candida famata (n=1);premature infants were treated with fluconazol and amphotericin B,15 (83.33%) were cured,2 (11 .11 %)improved,and 1 (5.56%)died.Conclusion Fungal septicemia in premature infants are mainly caused by Candida,there is no specific clinical manifestations,clinical symptoms in premature infants with high risk factors should be closely observed,blood routine and CRP should be detected periodically,timely treat-ment with antifungal agents should be given,which are beneficial to achieve good therapeutic effect.
