Objective To analyze the correlation between the diagnosis and treatment and the postoperative death and complication of the elderly patients.Methods A total of 1 932 cases of surgical patients (over 70 years old) were collected from a three-level general hospital 2013-2015.Their medical information of the treatment methods were recorded,including incision category,surgical approach,surgical grade and patient outcome after surgery(death or postoperative complications).Then we analyzed the incidence of death or postoperative complications,as well as the effects of treatment and postoperative outcome on complications or mortality.Results The admission status and incision type were the risk factors of postoperative death in elderly patients.Admission status pollution type,surgical approach and surgical grade were the risk factors of postoperative complications.Conclusion In order to reduce the risk of postoperative death and complications in elderly patients,the effect of admission and incision on the postoperative risk of elderly patients should be evaluated.

The molecular delivery vectors used in gene therapy need provide the features of safety,stability, efficiency and capacity. The current studies on the structure and action mechanism of pRNA, a packaging RNA of phage?29, showed that pRNA with multiple binding sites can through cell membrane easily and escort exogenous molecules to target cell, without inducing immune reaction. As an ideal nano-scale gene therapy vehicle, pRNA presents a promising application in delivering multiple therapeutic components to detect and treat human diseases.

AIM: To observe the efficacy and safety of small incision manual nuncleofragmentation technology in hard-nucleus cataract.METHODS: Fifty-four patients (54 eyes) were performed with small incision manual nucleofragmentation and intraocular lens implantation.Uncorrected-visual acuity,corrected-visual acuity and astigmatism were measured before and after surgery.Anterior segment of eye,retina,surgical complications were observed.RESULTS: Preoperative uncorrected vision(LogMAR) was 1.095±0.171,corrected vision (LogMAR) was 0.994±0.158.Postoperative uncorrected vision(LogMAR) was 0.321±0.214 and corrected vision(LogMAR) was 0.276±0.179 at 1wk after operation.Both had statistical significance compared with uncorrected vision(LogMAR) (t=27.052,P<0.01) and corrected vision (LogMAR)(t=29.211,P<0.01) after cataract operation.Average preoprative corneal astigmatism was 0.93±0.34D,average postoprative astigmatism was 0.95±0.29D at 3mo,there was no statistical significance of astigmatism before and after surgery(t=1.048,P>0.05).No severe complications occurred in all cases.CONCLUSION: The technology of small incision manual nuncleofragmentation in hard-nucleus cataract is proved to be safe and effective.

To evaluate the clinical effect of small incision cataract extraction with a manual nucleus division technique combined with intraocular lens implantation in cataract operation of large quantities.
●METHODS: Totally 105 patients (105 eyes) underwent small incision cataract extraction surgery. Visual acuity was observed, eye condition, fundus and intraocular pressure were examined by slit lamp at postoperative 1wk; 1mo.
●RESULTS: The visual acuity improved significantly at postoperative 1mo, 89 cases (89 eyes) with better than 0. 3( 85%), 101 cases ( 101 eyes) with 0. 1 and above (96%). lt had short operation time, fewer complications and good anesthetic effect.
● CONCLUSlON: This operation is suitable for primary hospitals, which visual acuity improved obviously, without serious complications, and economic and feasible.

Identification and validation of a new target is one of the most important steps for new antituberculosis (TB) drug discovery. Researches have shown that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encodes 20 CYP450 enzymes which play important roles in the synthesis and metabolism of lipid, cholesterol utilization, and the electron transport of respiratory chain in Mtb. With the critical roles within the organism as well as the protein structures of six Mtb CYP450 enzymes being clarified, some of them have been highlighted as potential anti-tuberculosis targets. In this paper, the phylogenetic analysis, the structural features, and the enzymatic functions of Mtb CYPs, as well as the mechanism of interactions with selective inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents for the CYPs have been reviewed and summarized. The druggability of the CYPs has also been analyzed for their further utility as targets in high throughput screening and rational design of more selective inhibitors.

[Objective]To explore the mechanism of nucleoplasty combined with oxygen-ozone for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation，and to evaluate its therapeutic effects.[Method]From June 2005 to June 2006，62 patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated by nueleoplasty combined with oxygen-ozone，34 were male and 28 were female，ranging in age from 32 to 76 years，with an average of 53.4 years.The course of this disease ranged from 3 to 56 months，meanly 1.3 years.Thirteen patients had the herniation at L4.5 and L3，4，thirty two patients at L4、5，eight patients at L4、5 and L5S1，and nine patients at L5S1.The curative effect was assessed by using a modified MacNab method.[Result]After 25～35 months'follow-up，there were no servious complications in all 62 cases.According to modified MacNab assessment，50 cases(80.7%)achieved excellent outcomes，8 cases(12.9%)good，2 cases(3.2%)fair and 2 cases(3.2%)poor.The excellent and good rate was 93.5%.[Conclusion]The micro-invasive technique of nueleoplasty combined with oxygen-ozone is effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation，and it has maximized the clinical effect and minimized the local damage：it also expanded adaptive cases with lumbar disc herniation and enlarged the applicable scope of minimally invasive technique in treating lumbar disc hemiation.

ObjectiveTo construct human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) modified with human preproenkephalin (hPPE) gene.MethodshPPE gene fragments were obtained from recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1( + )/hPPE by using restriction endonuelease Hind Ⅲ and Not Ⅰ.Homologous recombination of lentivirus and hPPE gene was produced by using recombinant DNA technology.HEK293 cells were then transfected with the recombinant lentivirus vectors.The expression of hPPE gene in HEK293 cells was detected by Western blot.ResultsThe results of DNA sequencing indicated that the positive clone of recombinant lentivirus was completely consistent with sequencing of hPPE in Genebank.The titer of the concentrated virus was 2.07 × 108 TU/ml.GFP fluorescence was not seen in HEK293 cells transfected with the lentiviral vector under fluorescence microscope.A strong fluorescence was seen in HEK293 cells transfected with Ubc-GFP-L.V.empty viral vector.Positive expression of hPPE was demonstrated in HEK293 cells transfected with lentiviral vector by Western blot.Conclusion HEK293 cells modified with hPPE gene were successfully constructed and the target gene hPPE was stably expressed in HEK293 cells.
