The average onset time of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage were (64.64 ± 59.09)days ranging from 7 -225 days and mostly were within 30-60 days (35.71%,5/14).Postoperative vitreous hemorrhage also occurred in 7 of 71 eyes (9.89%)of silicone oil tamponade group after silicone oil removal with an average onset time of (25.29±20.46)days ranging from 3-65 days and were mostly within 1 5-30 days (42.86%, 3/7).There was a significant difference in the incidence of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage between the two groups (χ2 = 5.200,P <0.05 ).BCVA of the two groups was improved significantly after operation (Z =2.472,3.1 14;P <0.05).Postoperative BCVA of silicone oil tamponade group was poorer than C3 F8 tamponade group (Z =1.968,P <0.05).Conclusion Both C3 F8 and silicone oil tamponade can improve the visual acuity after vitrectomy for PDR.Compared with C3 F8 ,silicone oil tamponade had lower incidence and late onset of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy for PDR.

The mechanism of long chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is diverse. LncRNA can regulate the expression of genes at multiple levels and is closely related to some pathological process, such as tumor formation, viral replication, inflammatory damage, etc. The abnormal expression of lncRNA is involved in the patho-physiological changes of the disease, and plays a key role in many links, such as the stability of mRNA, the regulation of translation level, protein transport, RNA processing and modification, and so on. The development of sepsis inflammatory injury is a complex process involving multiple genes and pathways, in which the abnormal structure and expression of many encoding genes or non-coding genes exist.This paper review the research progress on lncRNA in the regulation of chondriokinesis, pro-inflammatory cytokines, calcium ion transport, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in signal pathway and other inflammatory lesions, which may provide a new method for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

BACKGROUND:In the research of the active above-knee prosthesis, the existing motion pattern recognition methods have shown promising results, but the further improvement of the recognition accuracy and the reduction of the response time are stil necessary. OBJECTIVE:To establish a terrain recognition system based on the random forest algorithm, achieve the identification of the front terrain, and obtain the motion mode of the subject on the terrain for the control of artificial limb. METHODS:A laser distance sensor and an inertial measurement unit sensor were fixed on the waist to col ect the terrain information and human motion signals. The col ected data were filtered and the characteristic values were extracted from the data. The random forest algorithm was applied in the establishment of the classifier, which was used to recognize the terrain. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results showed that the terrain recognition system could recognize level ground, stair ascent/descent and ramp ascent/descent at a high accuracy, which could contribute to the control of the active above-knee prosthesis.

Objective To evaluate the value of nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in the fetal chromosome abnormality screening. Methods 11 086 pregnant women received NT measurement in 11 ~ 13+6 weeks at Hainan general hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 were selected in the study. The NT thickness was measured according to guidelines from Fetal Medicine Foundation. 122 fetuses (NT≥2.5 mm) were recruited to accept karyotype analysis. Results 11 086 pregnant women received NT measurement in 11 ~13+6 weeks, in which 122 cases′ NT are more than or equal to 2.5 mm, with a positive rate of 1.10%. 122 cases of fetal NT thickening are between 2.5 to 12.0 mm, with the average degree at (4.5 ± 2.1)mm. 122 invasive prenatal diagnostic specimens chromosome karyotype analysis results showed chromosomal abnormalities in 21 cases (abnormal rate of 17.2%), the abnormal chromosome number in 17 cases and abnormal structure in 4 cases. The top 3 are trisomy 21 (12 cases, 57.1%), chromosome pericentric inversion (3 cases, 14.3%), and trisomy 18 (2 cases, 9.5%). Fetal chromosomal abnormalities resulting from different childbirth age, the sex of the fetus, NT thickness showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). The concrete manifestation is that fetal chromosomal anomaly detection rate in childbirth by women more than 35 years old age are higher than other age. Female fetal chromosomal anomaly detection rate is higher than the male , and NT thickness of 5mm of fetal chromosomal abnormality rate is significantly higher than the thickness of NT group at 2.5mm~ and 3.5mm~. Fetal NT thickening of NT measurements was in significant positive correlation with fetal chromosome abnormal rate (χ2=15.533, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis found that with a higher NT thickness , risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities would be significantly higher , and thickening of NT could be an independent predictor of fetal chromosome abnormalities. Conclusion In early pregnancy, ultrasound examination of fetal ultrasound screening of NT thickness can be used as an important index of fetal chromosomal abnormality , and interventional diagnosis of prenatal NT thickness increase could pose increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities.
