Objective To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and bevacizumab in the treatment of pathological myopia choroidal neovascularization (PM-CNV).Methods It is a retrospective case study.Seventy-nine patients (79 eyes) with PM-CNV were enrolled in this study.There were 26 males (26 eyes) and 53 females (53 eyes),with the mean age of (30.77 ± 5.53) years.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,slit lamp microscope,fundus color photography,fundus fluorescein angiography,and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed.BCVA was recorded as logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR).The central retinal thickness (CMT) was measured by OCT (Cirrus HDOCT).The eyes were divided into bevacizumab treatment group (38 eyes) and ranibizumab treatment group (41 eyes).There was no difference of the mean logMAR BCVA,intraocular pressure and CMT between two groups (t=-0.467,-1.983,1.293;P=0.642,0.051,0.200).The eyes in bevacizumab treatment group were treated with bevacizumab 0.05 ml (1.25 mg),and the eyes in ranibizumab treatment group were treated with ranibizumab 0.05 ml (0.5 rag).Times of injection between two groups were compared.The changes of intraocular pressure were observed at 1,7 days and 1 month after treatment.The changes of logMAR BCVA and CMT at 1,3,6,12 and 24 months after treatment and systemic adverse reactions occur were compared.Results At the 1,3,6,12 and 24 months after treatment,the mean logMAR BCVA of the bevacizumab treatment group and the ranibizumab treatment group was significantly improved than that before treatment (F=132.374,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the mean logMAR BCVA at different time points between the two groups (F=0.095,P=0.759).The mean CMT of the two groups was lower than that before treatment (F=151.653,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the mean CMT between the two groups (F=0.332,P=0.566).No retinal detachment,endophthalmitis,cataract and persistent high intraocular pressure were associated with drug,injection-related eye and systemic adverse events during follow-up.Seven eyes had conjunctiva bleeding after treatment,11 patients (11 eyes) complained of shadow floaters after treatment.Conclusion Intravitreal injection ofbevacizumab or ranibizumab can equally effectively improve the visual acuity and reduce the CMT of PM-CNV patients.

Objective To understand how about the female consumers know the skin conditions of themselves and which they concern by a comprehensive questionnaire. Methods Three hundred and twenty-eight healthy volunteers in Shanghai were involved in this study. They were divided into 5 age groups equally. The questionnaire included the skin conditions, i.e. skin moisture, sebum, whiteness, redness, xanthochromia, homogeneity, spots, fine line, wrinkle, elasticity, angiotelectasis,pore, sagging, smoothness, gloss, roughness, scales and sensitivity. Each condition was divided into 10 grades to assess the skin conditions of the face (exposed site), upper arm (non-exposed site) and the perfect skin status. SPSS11.5 software was used to analyze the correlations of the skin conditions with ages. Results The skin concerns were difference in the 5 groups. Skin aging of sagging, wrinkle, spots and fine line became prominent from group C (35 to 40 years old). The correlations between the skin concerns of facial moisture, sebum, whiteness, homogeneity, spots, wrinkle, fine line, elasticity, sagging, sensitivity, upper arm sebum, spots, elasticity, angiotelectasis, sagging and roughness with ages were very significant (P＜0.01). Conclusion The changes of the volunteers'concerns about sebum, pore, sagging, elasticity, fine line and wrinkle with age in different age group are consistent with the quantitative measurement results from the oversea studies.

Objective This study was designed to explore the effect of hyperglycemia on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4 ) in renal tubular epithelial cells and its significance in diabetic nephropathy. Methods In vitro cultured renal tubular epithelial cells ( NRK-52E) were divided into LG group (cultured in 5mmol / L glucose DMEM) and HC group (cultured in 25mmol / L glucose DMEM). Cells were harvested at different time points. Immunohistochemistry, Rt-PCR, Western Blot were used to detect TLR4 protein and mRNA expression, and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α from the cell culture supernatant were determined by EL1SA assay. Results After 6 hours, there was increased expression TLR4 mRNA in HC group, which appeared to be maintained for 24 hours and began to decrease after 48 hours ( P < 0.05). TLR4 protein expression increased in HC group after 24 hours, and increased even further after 48 hours. Compared with LG groups, the difference had statistical significance ( P <0.05). In HG group, IL-6 and TNF-α expression in the supernatant from the NRK-52E culture were significantly increased ( P < 0.05) , and the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α was positive correlated with the expression of TLR4 protein ( r =0.799,0.820). Conclusion High glucose triggers an increase in expression of TLR4 in NRK-52E cells, itself leading to an increase in expression of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6. In this way, TLR4 participates in the progress of diabetic nephropathy.

ObjectiveTo analyze Rome Ⅱ and Rome Ⅲ criteria in clinical characteristics of functional dyspepsia (FD) diagnosis and the differences in subtypes of FD,and to assess the psychosocial status of FD patients.Methods From June 2008 to December 2008,1600 random outpatients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in department of gastroenterology fulfilled the inquiry questionnaire.The subtype was diagnosed according to Rome Ⅲ and the Rome Ⅱ criteria and the results were analyzed.ResultsA total of 215 patients (13.44％) were in accordance with Rome Ⅱ criteria and 249 patients (15.56 ％) were in accordance with Rome Ⅲ criteria,there was no difference in FD detection rate between these two criteria (x2=2.176,P＞0.05).About 71.16％(153/215) of the FD patients diagnosed according to Rome Ⅱ criteria were also in accordance with Rome Ⅲ criteria,and 23.26％ (50/215) who had bothersome postprandial fullness,early satiation,epigastic pain or epigastric burning did not meet Rome Ⅲ criteria.About 61.45 ％ (153/249) of the FD patients diagnosed according to Rome Ⅲ criteria were also in accordance with Rome Ⅱ criteria,and the courses of disease of 28.92％(72/249) patients didn't met Rome Ⅱ criteria.According to RomeⅡ,51 (23.72％) patients were ulcer-like type,103 (47.91％)patients were dysmotility-like type,and 61 (28.37％) patients were non-idiotype.According to Rome Ⅲ criteria,76.31％ (190/249) patients were consistent with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS),52.61％ (131/249) patients were consistent with epigastric pain syndrome (EPS),and 28.92％ (72/249) patients met both PDS and EPS.The percentage of the FD patients with anxiety and depression was 16.83％ and 47.52％respectively.Of the FD patients in accordance with Rome Ⅲ criteria who were with both anxiety and depression,the total symptom scores of bothersome postprandial fullness,early satiation,epigastic pain or epigastic burning were the highest (x2 =49.637,P＜0.05).ConclusionsRome Ⅲ criteria is easier to understand and more practical.FD patients always have psychosocial disorders,which may worsen the clinical symptoms.

Objective To explore the motion features of cervical spine based on continuous X-ray images.Methods The cervical spontaneous continuous multi-frame sagittal images from flexion to extention positions were selected from cervical spondylosis patients (patients group) and healthy adult (normal group).After preprocessing and registration,the trajectory of single vertebral body were recorded,and the feature points of each vertebral body were extracted.Meanwhile,the rel ative geometry parameters and movement rate were calculated.Results The motion trajectory of patients' cervical spine C4-6 were different from healthy people.The angles between the left edge curve of the vertebral body (C4 and C5 vertebra) and the baseline of patients group were smaller than those of normal group in flexion position (all P＜0.05).There were instability in the movement of C4 vertebral body in patient group,and the volatility of the angle change,the rate of change and the frequency were larger.The relative position change of the adjacent single vertebral body in the patient group are smaller.Conclusion Through the preprocessing,registration,parameter extraction and result analysis,the changes of functional features in cervical spondylosis patients are truly reflected.And it also provides a new idea for dynamic analysis of cervical vertebrae based on X-ray images.

Objective To explore the effects of walking in water on surface electromyography (sEMG) of lower limbs and neural func-tion in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Methods From June, 2014 to May, 2016, 42 patients with incomplete thoracolumbar SCI were di-vided into control group (n=21) and experimental group (n=21) randomly. All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation, while the experi-mental group accepted extra walking in water. Average electromyography (AEMG) of quadriceps femoris and tibialis anterior muscles was measured, and the motor and sense function was assessed with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Classification before and six weeks after treatment. Results The AEMG (t>5.763, P<0.01) and the scores of motor and sense (t>10.871, P<0.001) increased in both groups after treatment, and increased more in the experimental group than in the control group (t>4.036, P<0.01). Conclusion Walking in water could further improve lower limbs muscle strength and neural function in patients with incomplete thoracolumbar SCI.

AIM: To investigate the expression profile of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor(PBR) involved in mitochondrial permeability transition(PT) regulation,and to observe the binding dynamic of the mitochondrial PBR with specificity ligand during rat live regeneration.METHODS: Liver regeneration model was produced by 70% partial hepatectomy(PH) performed in male SD rats.The animals of sham groups underwent the same surgical operations as PH groups did,but the liver lobes were not resected.The animals in the PH groups and corresponding sham groups were sacrificed at 3,6,12,24,48,72,120 and 168 hours after the operation.The livers were removed,weighted and processed for isolation of mitochondria.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed to examine the expression level of PBR in 70% hepatectomized rat livers during the whole regeneration process and compared to that in the sham and normal groups.Compared with healthy rats,the kinetic parameters of PBR was evaluated by using a specific radioligand -PK11195.RESULTS: Compared with healthy rats,the expression of PBR was unchanged.Meanwhile,the results obtained in the present experiments by scatchard analysis,Bmax of PK11195 for PBR significantly decreased,returned to normal level in 168 h after PH.Kd of PK11195 for PBR significantly decreased at 72 h and 168 h after PH of rat liver regeneration(P

Objective To determine the effect of aldosterone and its antagonist, spironolactone on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of normal rat kidney epithelial cells (NRK-52E) in a high glucose milieu,and to explore the mechanism of renoprotection in diabetic nephropathy (DN ) in rats involving aldosterone and spironolacton. Methods NRK-52E cells were simultaneously cultured in the serum-free Dulbecco's modification of Eagle's medium Dulbecco (DMEM) for 12 hours. Then the low glucose (LG) group was cultured in LG (1000 mg/L) DMEM:The high glucose (HG) group was cultured in high glucose (4 500 mg/L) DMEM. The aldosterone (Aldo) groups were cultured in high glucose DMEM with the addition of 10,50 and 100 nmol/L aldosterone respectively. The SP group was cultured in high glucose (4 500 mg/L) DMEM plus 10~(-7)mol/L spironolactone. Immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect E-cadherin and α smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) mRNA expression. Results RT-PCR showed that compared with the LG Group, E-cadherin mRNA expression in the HG group was significantly lower, and α-SMA mRNA expression was significantly increased(P＜0.05). E-cadherin mRNA expression in the 50 nmol/L Aldo group and 100 nmol/L Aldo group was significantly lower than that in the HG group, while the expression of α-SMA mRNA was significantly increased in the HG group(P＜0.05), with a dose-dependent relationship with aldosterone(r=-0.70,P＜0.05;r=0.67, P＜0.05). E-cadherin mRNA in the SP group was significantly higher,while α-SMA mRNA expression was lower than that in the HG group(P＜0.01). Immunohistochemistry and Western blot showed that compared with the LG group, E-cadherin protein expression was significantly reduced, and α-SMA expression was significantly increased in the HG group(P＜0.01). In the 10 nmol/L Aldo, 50 nmol/L Aldo, and the 100 nmol/L Aldo groups, E-cadherin protein expression was significantly lower, and α-SMA protein expression was significantly higher than that in the HG group(P＜0.05), with a dose-dependent relationship with aldosterone(r=-0.83,P＜0.05;r=0.81, P＜0.05). In the SP group, E-cadherin protein expression was higher, and α-SMA protein level was lower than that in the HG group(P＜0.05). Conclusion Aldosterone can promote EMT of tubular epithelial cells in a high sugar milieu, leading to renal interstitial fibrosis in Diabetic nephropathy. Spironolactone can inhibit high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cells EMT, which may be an important mechanism for the inhibition of renal interstitial fibrosis.
