Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2011;29(12):1149-1152
Herpes simplex virus infection after excimer laser corneal refractive surgery often leads to serious complications,and the main reasons to induce the infection of herpes simplex virus are:irradiation of excimer laser and stimulation of corneal by surgery;long-term topical administration of steroids eye drops,or the interaction of all above factors.Once the herpetic keratitis appears,early and correct diagnosis and management are critical for rescuing the visual acuity.The laboratory assay methods,such as serum antibody,virus culture,corneal epithelial scraping,pathological examination,polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ),can be used for the assistance of diagnosis but each methods has their own limitation ; it is recognized that the multiplex PCR seem to become more sensitive.The primary treatment method for the infection of herpes simplex virus is to use the anti-virus drug topical or systemically after excimer laser corneal refractive keratectomy.the topical use of antivirus drugs in perioperation period for patients with history of herpetic keratitis can reduce the recurrence.This paper summarized the progress in clinical and experimental researches and review the etiology,diagnosis,treatment and prevention of herpetic keratitis following excimer laser corneal refractive surgery in recent years.

Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2010;25(3):224-226
Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's diseaseconcomitant with thyroid carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 74 cages of thyroid carcinoma occuring on the background of Hashimoto's disease were retrospectively analyzed. Results All cases were papillary carcinoma pathologically.The serum TGAb and McAb level elevated in 56 and 68 cases,respectively.While TPOAB level was all elevated.45 cages underwent unilateral thyroideetomy and contralateral subtotal thyroidectomy,1 case did bilateral near total thyroidectomy,26 cases did unilateral thyroidectomy.and 2 cases with bilateral thyroidectomy.All cases underwent combined central region lymph nodes dissection(positive rate was 27%,20/74),10 cases underwent modied lymph node resection.69 cases were followed up rangins from 1 month to 7 years,with median length of 29 months.4 cases were re-admired for modified lymph nodes resection. Conclusion TGAb、McAb、FNAB and ultrasound is the main procedure forscreening Hashimoto's disese accompanied with thyroid carcinoma preoperatively.Radical thyroideetomy iS the therapy of choice.
3.Erectile dysfunction detection by the nocturnal penile tumescence testing
Chinese Journal of Forensic Medicine 1987;0(03):-
Objective To solve the problem of erectile dysfunction in clinical forensic medicine investigation by using the nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) testing. Method 13 cases who complained erectile dysfunction after trauma were studied by using RIGISCAN PLUS SYSTEM. Results In 13 cases, the results of NPT testing showed that the erectile function was normal in 3 cases, slight dropping in 5 cases, medium dropping in 2 cases, and completely losing in 3 cases. In 5 cases which were serious erectile dysfunction as tested by IIEF, the NPT showed that the erectile function was normal in 1 case, slight dropping in 1 case, medium dropping in 1 cases, and losing completely in 2 cases. Conclusion The nocturnal penile tumescence testing can solve the problem of erectile dysfunction in forensic medicine investigation including the estimatieon of the severity of injury, labor ability assessment and some related questions.
4. Influence of intrathecal injection of p38 MAPK inhibitor on BDNF expression in dorsal horn of spinal cord of rats with neuropathic pain
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;31(8):883-886
Objective: To observe the effect of intrathecal p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) treatment on neuropathic pain and the expression of p38 MAPK and BDNF in dorsal horn of spinal cord in rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI), So as to investigate the possible mechanisms of neuropathic pain. Methods: Totally 30 SD rats were evenly randomized into 3 groups (n=10): sham group receiving intrathecal injection of sodium chloride, control group receiving intrathecal injection of sodium chloride and CCI surgery, and SB203580 group receiving intrathecal injection of SB203580 and CCI surgery. SB203580 (0.1 ml/kg) was administered 0.5 h before and 1-14 d after CCI surgery. The mechanical thresholds were tested 24 h before and 4-14 d after CCI surgery. p38 MAPK expression and BDNF release in the dorsal horn were determined using immunohistochemistry method 14 d after CCI surgery. Results: The mechanical thresholds in the control and SB203580 groups were significantly lower after CCI surgery compared with that before CCI surgery (P<0.05), but there was no significant change in the control group (P>0.05). Compared with the sham operation group, the mechanical thresholds were significantly lower in the other two groups after CCI surgery (P<0.05). The mechanical threshold of SB203580 group was significantly higher than that of the control group after CCI surgery (P<0.05). The p38 MAPK expression and BDNF release were significantly higher in the control and SB203580 groups compared with those in the sham operation group (P<0.05), and those in the SB203580 group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Intrathecal injection of p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 can attenuate hyperalgesia in CCI rats through decreasing p38 MAPK expression and BDNF release.

Objective To explore the intellectual effects of arsenic in drinking water on children. Methods Intellectual effects were evaluated by computer-based reaction time and Combined Raven's Test. Children aged 9 to 11 years living in three villages of Inner Mongolia were investigated in April, 2006. The arsenic concentrations in the drinking water of the three villages were 0.16 mg/L, 0.09 mg/L and less than 0.05 mg/L (control group). Results The mean, fastest and slowest visual reaction time of children exposed to the high levels of arsenic through drinking water were longer than those of children in control. The differences of mean, fastest and slowest visual reaction time between girls exposed to 0.16 mg/L arsenic and control were significant; the differences of the mean and slowest visual reaction time between 10-year old children exposed to 0.16 mg/L arsenic and control were significant. IQ of girls exposed to 0.16 mg/L arsenic was significantly lower than that in control. Conclusion Intellectual function of children can be affected by arsenic in drinking water, and the intellectual effects of arsenic on girls are more obvious.

International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(12):-
The etiology of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS)is more complex.Its pathogenesis has a lot of controversies,and its clinical manifestations are headache, nausea,vomiting,epileptic seizure,consciousness disturbance and visual abnormality.Neuroim- aging examinations have shown that diffuse symmetrical white matter edema is predominantly in the bilateral posterior brain regions.Clinical symptoms and neuroimaging changes can be recov- ered completely after timely and effective treatment.If the treatment is delayed,it may compli- cate with cerebral infarction or hemorrhage,and lead to irreversible damage.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells have been an important source of seed cells for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and immunosuppressive therapy areas. The large expansion is the key to the clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in the in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells in animal serum-free media. METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed to search papers published between 2004 and 2014 using the key words of“mesenchymal (stromal) stem cells, animal serum-free media, humanized media, human serum, umbilical cord blood serum, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate, defined medium”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y, 41 articles were retained. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human serum, umbilical cord blood serum, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate and defined medium can replace fetal bovine serum for large-scale expansion of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. These media or additives have their advantages and disadvantages;therefore, it is urgent to guarantee the functional effectiveness and transplantation safety before large-scale, systematic clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells.
