Infectious endophthalmitis refers to the acute suppurative inflammation of the uveal and retinal, with acute onset, severe symptoms, and poor prognosis.Early diagnosis and effective treatment is particularly important.Based on the way of intraocular infection, endophthalmitis can be divided into endogenous endophthalmitis and exogenous endophthalmitis.In the East Asian, liver abscess is the main source of endogenous endophthalmitis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae is the main pathogen.Liver abscess endophthalmitis is a serious cause of blindness caused by intraocular infection.A liver infection disseminated through hematogenous and the primary focus was hidden, which makes the disease was easy to be confused with immune related uveitis, causing high misdiagnosis rate, delaying the best time for diagnosis and treatment.In this article we reviewed the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess.Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion to the endogenous endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate(PKEP) in the treatment of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) after transrectal prostate biopsy(TRPB).Methods A total of 88 BPH patients who underwent PKEP in our hospital during Jan.2012 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed and followedup.38 patients underwent TRPB before PKEP were defined as TRPB group,and 50 patients underwent PKEP with no TRPB were defined as control group.The baseline data,perioperative data and postoperative follow-up outcomes were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results The mean age of the 88 patients were 69.7 years.Compared with control group,TRPB group showed that age was younger(t=2.62,P< 0.05)and prostate specific antigen(PSA) level was higher(t=13.64,P<0.01).Operation duration was longer in TRPB group than in control group (93.6 ± 31.0) min vs.(77.9 ± 17.3) min (t =2.6 4,P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in the preoperative data,blood loss,continuous bladder irrigation duration after operation and period of catheterization between two groups (all P > 0.05).Trans-operative time was significantly shortened when the time interval between TRPB and PKEP is more than 4 weeks(P< 0.01),while blood loss was similar in the two groups(P> 0.0 5).There were no adverse events of blood transfusion,transurethral resection syndrome and injury of bladder or rectal in both two groups.There were no significant differences in maximum flow rate(Qmax),international prostate symptom score(IPSS) or quality of life(QOL) scores between the two groups at 3,6 and 12 months of follow up(all P> 0.05).Conclusions PKEP after TRPB is a safe and effective treatment for BPH patient.When the time interval between TRPB and PKEP is more than 4 weeks,the performing of PKEP operation would reduce the difficulty of operative procedure and increase the safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether subjects with major depression display attention deficits.Methods35 antidepressant-free,non-elderly patients with unipolar depression diagnosis according to ICD-10 and CCMD-Ⅲ as well as 35 health control subjects matched for education,age and sex were administered three tests for attention(sustained attention,Selective attention and Attention Blink).ResultsOn the Continuous Performance Test(CPT),depressed participants needed more reaction time and made more mistake than nondepressed participants.There were no differences between two block in reaction time in the CPT of patients and control subjects.The performance on the Stroop Color-Word Test was impaired in depression.Compared with normal subjects,depressed participants presented increased choice reaction times(CRT).Stroop interference was higher in depressed patients than in controls.On Attention Blink(AB) paradigm,both groups performed equally well at reporting the first target appearing in a rapidly presented stream of stimuli.All groups showed an AB,and AB for depressive participants were larger and longer.Correlations were observed between the HAMD score and the reaction time in CPT.ConclusionThe depressive participants showed a decrement tendency in vigilance,a higher Stroop interference and a larger and longer AB.

Chinese journal of integrative medicine 2001;7(1):15-15
Objective: To seek for a better therapy for chronic plaque type psoriasis. Methods: The effect of 35 patients in the tested group treated with combination therapy of composite Shendi Decoction (CSDD) and Diyin Tablet (DYT) was observed and compared with the effect of those treated by CSDD alone (25 cases )or by DYT alone (18 cases ) as the control groups. Results: The total effective rate in the treated group was 94.29%, and that in the two control groups was 88.00% and 83.33% respectively. The markedly effective rate in the treated group was 62.86%, and that for the control groups was 36.00% and 27.78% respectively. Ridit test showed significant difference among the effectiveness in the three groups, while χ2 showed the difference of the total effective rate in the three groups was insignificant, but that of the markedly effective rate was significant. Serum IL-8 and plasma endothelin levels of 11 cases in the treated group were examined before and after treatment, the results showed that both the two parameters were reduced after the combination therapy. Conclusion: The effect of combination therapy of CSDD and DYT was better than that of CSDD or DYT alone, therefore, it is worth further studying and spreading.
