? AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in the treatment of shallow anterior chamber with cataract.?METHODS: Retrospective case series. From February 2014 to July 2015 in our hospital,65 eyes in 65 patients with cataract were enrolled and divided into mild and high risk of shallow anterior chamber group. Best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , central anterior chamber dept ( CACD ) , angle opening distance ( AOD ) , complications pre- and post treatment, were observed and analyzed as outcome measures.?RESULTS: In this study, the mild shallow anterior chamber group included 34 eyes; postoperative BCVA were improved in 29 eyes, with 4 eyes remaining stable and decreased in 1 eye; BCVA was improved in 16 eyes, with 10 eyes remaining stable and decreased in 5 eyes in high risk of shallow anterior chamber group postoperatively. BCVA had a better prognosis in the mild shallow anterior chamber group than another group ( t=-2. 956, P<0. 05). Meanwhile, IOP decreased by 5. 71± 2. 07mmHg and CACD increased by 1. 37 ± 0. 38mm in the mild shallow anterior chamber group, by 9. 77±4. 04mmHg and 1. 67±0. 43mm respectively in high risk group, and the difference has statistical significance ( t=-5. 02,-3. 04; P<0. 05). The mean preoperative nasal AOD500 was 200. 57± 33. 74μm, and they were 346. 62 ± 101. 37μm and 410. 75 ± 137. 48μm and 398. 69 ± 122. 28μm respectively at postoperative 1d, 1 and 3mo, and all nAOD500 comparing with preoperative were increased obviously, and the difference has statistical significance (F=203. 75, P<0. 01). And AOD500 at temporal, superior and inferior presented similar trends. Complications were corneal edema ( 5 eyes ) , transient intraocular hypertension ( 2 eyes ) , posterior capsular opacification ( 4 eyes ) , and posterior capsular rupture (1 eye).?CONCLUSION:Micro incision cataract surgery is useful, effective and safe in patients with cataract and shallow anterior chamber which can stabilize or improve BCVA, reduce IOP, deepen CACD and open the anterior chamber angle.

Objective To investigate the effects of L-Arginine(L-Arg) on microcirculation perfusion after banked-blood transfusion in rabbits with hypovolemia.Methods Thirty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each): groups Ⅰ-Ⅲ.Hypovolemia was induced by blood letting (20％ of blood volume) and the equal volume of banked-blood was transfused 30 min later in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ.25％ L-Arg 300 mg/kg was injected iv 5 min before blood letting in group Ⅲ,and the equal volume of normal saline was injected in group Ⅰ.Group Ⅱ only received 25％ L-Arg 300 mg/kg.MAP,CVP and tip perfusion index (TPI) were recorded at before (T0) and after blood letting (T1),end of banked-blood transfusion (T2),1 h ( T3 ) and 2 h (T4) after banked- blood transfusion,and blood samples were taken for determination of plasma lactate and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations.Results TPI was higher at T2-T4,plasma lactate concentration lower at T1 -T4 and plasma NO concentration lower at T3,T4 in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ ( P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in MAP between groups Ⅱ,Ⅲ and group Ⅰ ( P ＞ 0.05).MAP was lower at T1 in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in CVP among the 3 groups( P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Pretreatment with L-Arg can increase microcirculation perfusion,and has no effect on hemodynamics in rabbits with hypovolemia after banked-blood transfusion.

Objective To investigate the pathogenic significance of antigenic epitopes and their relevant antibodies in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) by neonatal mouse model. Methods The extracellular domain 1-2 (EC1-2) fusion protein was expressed and purified by glutathione affinity chromatography on the basis of construction of recombinant EC1-2 vector, and then the New Zealand white rabbits were immunized to obtain the specific antisera. The IgG fraction was transferred into the neonatal mice passively after it was purified from the antisera. After 15-18 hours of injection, the abdomen skin and the sera of the mice were examined by light microscopy, electron microscopy, direct immunofluorescence and indirect immunofluorescence. Results In the evaluation of the study group of mice, the intraepithelial vesicle formation was observed. Electron microscopy showed that intercellular spaces were widened, desmosome split and disappeared. In immunofluorescence, the fluorescence-labeled IgG deposied between the acantholytic cells. In the control group of mice there were no pathogenic changes observed, except very weak fluorescence between intercellular spaces. Conclusion The PV mouse model established shows that the EC1-2 epitope in PVA antigen and its relevant antibodies were pathogenic, and can be used as a tool in studying the pathogenesis of PV.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fluoxetine (FLX) on the expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 in the hippocampus, the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex of conditioned fear (CF) model mice. Forty eight mice were randomly divided into three groups, normal control group, CF stress group and FLX-pretreated CF group. The FLX-pretreated CF group was given FLX (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) for 7 days before CF stress. After CF stress model was established, all mice were given behavioral experiments to test whether FLX impaired or improved the auditory and contextual fear conditioning. Then mice were sacrificed. The expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that the freezing time of FLX-pretreated CF group was significantly lower than that of CF group; FLX pretreatment up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in the hippocampus at 1 d after CF stress (P < 0.001), but no significant differences was observed at 7 d; BDNF significantly increased in the hippocampus at 7 d (P < 0.001), but no differences at 1 d; the expressions of BDNF and Bcl-2 in the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex were of no obvious differences between CF group and FLX-pretreated CF group at 1 d or 7 d after CF stress. Parallel to these changes, pretreatment with FLX could affect histopathologic changes induced by CF stress. Furthermore, the results indicated that FLX pretreatment could protect against CF stress-induced neurological damage via the activation of BDNF and Bcl-2 in hippocampus.

OBJECTIVETo explore methods of treating middle and distal tibia nonunion with the treatment of advanced bone graft combined with locking compression plate.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to December 2012, 12 patients with middle and distal tibia nonunion were treated with advanced bone graft combined with locking compression plate. Among patients, there were 8 males and 4 females aged from 20 to 69 with an average of 47 years old. The time from first injuries to bone nonunion was from 9 months to 5 years, avergaed 19 months. Four cases were treated with external fixation, 6 cases were treated with plate fixation, 2 cases of 12 patients occurred broken of plate and nail. Eleven patients were non-infective bone nonunion and 1 patient was infective bone nonunion. Preoperative X-ray and CT showed all patients had sequestration and formation of ossified bone with different degrees. Operative time, blood loss, wound healing were observed, fracture healing time was evaluated by postoperative X-ray. Johner-Wruhs scoring standards was used to evaluate ankle joint function after operation at 10 months.

RESULTSOperative time ranged from 90 to 185 min with an average of (125.00±20.15) min; blood loss ranged from 225 to 750 ml with an average of (415.00±120.00) ml. All patients were followed up from 10 months to 2.5 years with an average of 1.5 years. Postoperative X-ray showed bone union was formed around fracture after operation at 4 months in all patients, 3 cases obtained bone healing within 6 months after operation, 9 cases obtained from 8 to 12 months. No infection, injury of nerve and vessles, and broken of plate and nail were ocurred. According to Johner-Wruhs scoring at 10 months after operation, 10 cases obtained excellent results, 1 good and 1 moderate.

CONCLUSIONAdvanced bone graft combined with locking compression plate, which can build fracture multi-point supporting based on full compression of bone nonunion to get effective fixation, is an effective method in treating middle and distal tibia nonunion.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) determination in CD4+ cells in cytomegalovirus pneumonia after renal transplantation.Methods The ATP level of CD4+ T cells was measured by ImmuKnowTM kit.The ATP levels were determined in 187 renal transplant recipients before and 30,60,90,180 days after operation,and at the time of CMV pneumonia and 4 weeks after treatment of CMV pneumonia.The associations between ATP levels and CMV pneumonia were analyzed.Analysis of variance (ANOVA),Pearson-Spearman and relative risks were used for data analysis.Results 17 cases out of 187 renal transplant recipients were diagnosed as CMV pneumonia (9.1％),and the onset of CMV pneumonia started on the (2.8 ±1.2)month after renal transplantation.ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells were significantly lower after operation than those before operation (P＜0.01).ATP concentrations reached the lowest on the about postoperative day 90 (P＜0.05),then increased gradually.In 17 recipients with CMV pneumonia,the ATP levels before and 30,90 days after operation,at the time of CMV pneumonia and 4th week after treatment of CMV pneumonia were (376 ±182),(283 ± 146),(196 ± 112),(145 ± 102) and (236 ± 117) μg/L respectively.ATP levels at the time of CMV pneumonia were significantly lower than any other time points (P＜0.05).There was close correlation between ATP levels and CMV pneumonia.Conclusion The determination of ATP in CD4+ cells could reflect the status of cell-mediated immunity in renal transplant recipients,and could evaluate the severity and prognosis of CMV pneumonia and guide the clinical treatment.

BACKGROUND:Tumor has been considered as a specific nonhealing trauma. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s participate in tumor mesenchymal reconstitution by tumor tissue homing and differentiation into mesenchyme, resulting in changing tumor microenvironment and affecting tumor growth and transfer. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanisms of participation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in tumor tissue repair in an A549 lung cancer-bearing mouse model. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated in vitro, cultured, and identified using flow cytometry, and then used to establish a mouse model of A549 lung cancer-bearing. In the experimental group, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were injected into tissue surrounding the tumor. In the control group, an equal volume of PBS was injected. Animal survival condition and tumor size were compared. At 4 weeks, the specimens were harvested. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to compare tumor tissue. Masson staining was utilized to compare col agen fiber content. Reverse transcription-PCR was employed to detect the expression ofα-smooth muscle actin. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression of fibroblast specific protein and fibroblast activation protein to reflect the degree of interstitial fibers in tumor tissue in both groups. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, interleukin-6 and tenescin-C were compared between the two groups using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s promoted tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. The growth rate of tumor tissue in experimental group was faster than the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group,α-smooth muscle actin mRNA expression was significantly higher in the experimental group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of tumor angiogenesis factors markers (fibroblast specific protein and fibroblast activation protein) in tumor tissue of experimental group. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, interleukin-6 and tenescin-C were significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Results indicated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s differentiated into fibroblasts in tumor microenvironment, participated in the formation and construction of tumor stroma as wel as promoted the growth and repair of tumor via the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, interleukin-6 and tenescin-C.
