1.Risk factors and management of diabetes-related macular hard exudates
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;32(11):1041-1046
Diabetes-related macular exudation is a common fundus change associated with diabetes mellitus,charactered by hard exudates of macular area.It is one of main causes of lowing vision in diabetic patients.The incidence of diabetes-related macular exudation is increasing recent years,and therefore the diabetic maculopathy is also a matter of urgent concern.Domestic and international studies suggested that many systemic factors,such as blood glucose level,blood pressure,hypertension,higher blood lipid,inflammatory factors and genetic predisposition,exert impacts in the pathogenesis and development of diabetic retinopathy.However,whether the hard exudates of macular area also is associated with systemic factors mentioned above is unclear up to now.Since the hard exudates of diabetic maculopathy may leads to permanent loss of visual function,it is very important for us to find the effective prevent and managing approaches.This paper aimed to review the progress in this field and summarize the relevant risk factors that must be strictly controlled.
2.Research progress on biomarkers for early diagnosis of sepsis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2017;44(8):531-534
Sepsis is a complex systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by infection.Sepsis can deteriorate to severe sepsis,septic shock,and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.Due to the use of antimicrobial agents,fluid resuscitation and the developments of all kinds of support life,the treatment of sepsis has greatly improved over the past years.However,the mortality rates of sepsis still remain high.Rapid,accurate and early diagnosis of sepsis is a key factor to lower the high mortality rate of sepsis.Recently,it has been found that some biomarkers are closely associated with early diagnosis of sepsis and are helpful for the treatment.These biomarkers for early diagnosis include presepsin(sCD14-subtype),neutrophil CD64,soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1),soluble CD163,microRNAs,copeptin,and so on.Examining these biomarkers alone or in combination will bring new opportunities for the early diagnosis of sepsis,and hopefully provide new ideas for the treatment of sepsis.This article reviews the progress on the current emerging biomarkers for early diagnosis of sepsis.
3.Advances in the research of staphylococcus aureus accessory gene regulator system dysfunction
International Journal of Pediatrics 2017;44(2):94-98
Staphylococcus aureus continues to be a major pathogen in both community and healthcare associated infections.The pathogenicity of staphylococcus aureus is a complex process involving a variety of extracellular and cell wall components that are coordinately expressed during different stages of infection.Accessory gene regulator (agr)-mediated quorum sensing plays a major role in staphylococcal pathogenesis.However,agr dysfunction strains exist extensively in staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates.This review will mainly focus on the influence of agr dysfunction on staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation,clinical course and outcome of infectious diseases,and antibiotic resistance.

Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2016;16(7):614-616
Objective To evaluate the application value of the VATS combined with artificial pneumothorax in extended thymectomy. Methods From March 2013 to November 2014, we completed 45 cases of expanded thymectomy in patients with myasthenia gravis .According to the choice of patients , the surgeries were divided into two groups .The artificial pneumothorax group (24 cases) was given thoracoscopic expanded resection under artificial pneumothorax , while the conventional surgery group (21 cases) was given conventional thoracoscopic surgery .The operation time , intraoperative bleeding , operative field show ( to expose the offside mediastinal fat and cardiophrenic angle fat fully ) and symptom relief were compared between the two groups . Results The operations were successful in all the 45 cases.As compared with the conventional surgery group , the artificial pneumothorax group had shorter operation time [(93.8 ±16.8) min vs.(119.5 ±23.3) min, t=-4.293, P=0.000], less intraoperative hemorrhage [(54.2 ±43.7) ml vs.(92.9 ±41.0) ml, t=-3.048, P=0.004] and better operation exposure [91.7% (22/24) vs.57.1%(12/21),χ2 =7.228, P=0.007].However, there was no significant difference in symptom remission rate between the two groups . Conclusion VATS under artificial pneumothorax for thymus expanded resection can fully expose the operation field , with shorter operation time and less blood loss .
