AIM: To research the application analysis of trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification treating patients with primary angle-closed glaucoma ( PACG) and cataract.
METHODS: Seventy-three patients from September, 2011 to September, 2013, with primary angle- closed glaucoma and cataract, were selected in our research. Patients were all treated with trabeculectomy combined with ultrasonic emulsification, and the therapeutic effect was observed.
RESULTS: The effects of trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification treating primary angle-closed glaucoma and cataract in reducing intraocular pressure were better, and postoperative visual acuity results of the research objects were satisfactory. And it could deepen the central anterior chamber depth effectively. All the research objects had few complications.
CONCLUSION: Trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification treating primary angle - closed glaucoma and cataract can achieve a good result for reducing intraocular pressure, postoperative visual acuity recovery and correction, and the surgical success rate is high, with low complication rates. It is worthy of widely clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the method to analyze γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and its precursors 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) in urine through LC-MS/MS and provide evidence for related cases. METHODS: GHB-d6 and MOR-d3 were used as the internal standard. The urine sample was separated by LC after protein precipitation with methanol. The electrospray ion source was for ionization. Each compound was detected through multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. RESULTS: The limits of detection of GHB and its precursors 1,4-BD and GBL were 0.1, 0.1 and 2 μg/mL. The accuracy was 87.6%-98.1%. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were less than 15% and matrix effects were higher than 80%. CONCLUSION The method is high sensitive, simple, rapid, specific and with high reliability. This study has provided technical support and basic data for forensic cases involving GHB.

The phytase was extracted from solid state leavening of Trichoderma Viride LH374.The crude product was purified by(NH_4)_2SO_4 precipitation,gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography.The purified phyatse was 13.3 times of the raw products,and the extraction ration was 27.1%.The study on the enzymology of phyatse showed that the optimal temperature and pH were 55℃ and 6.0,respectively.The Km value of the phytase was 0.15mmol/L.

Objective One typical case with stress cardiomyopathy was reported and the current knowledge of the syndrome was reviewed to improve relevant knowledge.Methods A 71-year-old female patient presented dyspnea and chest pain due to emotional stress.ECG,echocardiography,selective coronary artery angiography,left ventriculography,~(99)Tc~m-MIBI single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT),~(18)F-FDG SPECT and MRI were performed.Results Electrocardiogram at admission showed ST segment elevation and T wave inversion in leads V1—V4.Pathological Q wave occurred 1 week later,it disappeared 1 month later however and severe T wave inversion occurred.Normal or slightly elevated cardiac enzymes in the blood were found during the course.Left ventriculogram at admission showed left ventricular apical ballooning with LVEF of 30%.The ballooning volume was about 3/4 of left ventricular volume, without any corresponding coronary artery diseases found in coronary angiogram.The abnormal apical ballooning decreased significantly in the follow-up left ventriculogram performed one month later.The LVEF rose up to 63.6%.~(99)Tc~m-MIBI and ~(18)F-FDG SPECT showed mismatch of perfusion and metabolism in the corresponding region,indicating presence of viable myocardium.MRI showed left ventricular apical ballooning without perfusion defect and late enhancement,indicating viability of corresponding myocardium. Conclusions Emotional stress can cause transient left ventricular apical ballooning called"stress cardiomyopathy".Either ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI SPECT associated with ~(18)F-FDG SPECT or delayed enhancement MRI plays an important role in identification of myocardial viability,which can efficiently guide clinical treatment.

0.05).Conclusion Three Hybridoma cell lines which secrete the target antibodies with satisfied affinities and specificities have been successfully raised,which provides a basis to produce a domestic-made HCMVpp65 antigen diagnosis kit.

0.05).Conclusion Compared with multi-breath hold GRAPPA technique,single breath hold TSENSE technique is a fast,accurate and reproducible method and can be an substitute for GRAPPA to evaluate ventricular function.

During the process of growth, harvesting, transportation, processing and storage, Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) can be easily contaminated by fungi and their metabolites like mycotoxins, which not only express negative effects on the quality and safety of CHMs and their processed products, but also pose great threats to human health. Now, some chemical synthetic fungicides have been frequently used to control the growth of fungi and accumulation of mycotoxins in the preservation of CHMs. However, the concentration and type of chemical fungicides allowed for postharvest application are restricted due to the disadvantages of their high residual toxicity, long degradation period and pollution to the environment and so on. Therefore, it is critical to research and develop some highly effective, safe and non-toxic, natural, environment-friendly fungistatic agents from plants to prevent CHMs from being contaminated by fungi and mycotoxins. The paper reviews mycotoxins and their harmfulness, the effective compounds of fungistatic plants as well as the antifungal mechanism to provide scientific evidences for developing novel and effective fungistatic agents plants. Then, the application prospect of fungistatic agents from plants in the preservation of CHMs was discussed.

Objective To investigate the effects of different CO2 pneumoperitoneum on cell cycle and cell cycle protein of a gastric cancer cell line. Methods Human gastric cancer cell line MNK-45 were exposed to 0,10,12 and 15 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum in vitro for 4 hrs. Cell cycle was measured by flowcytometry, the expression of CDK4 ,Cyclin D1、Rb and pRb was studied by Western-blot, and the binding ability of CDK4 and Cyclin D1 was evaluated by immunoprecipitation. Results The cell proliferation index in 15 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum group dropped significantly (27.4% ± 3. 7%) vs. (36. 4% ±3. 3%) ,P <0. 05, while that in other groups did not change significantly. The protein of CDK4、Cyclin D1and binding ability of Cyclin D1 and CDK4 dropped dramatically in the 15 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum group (0.71%±0.12%),(0.93% ±0.21%),(0.54%±0.11%),(0.18% ±0.02%) vs. (1.05% ±0.16%),(1.40% ±0.24%),(0.75% ±0.14%),(0.31% ±0.02%), all P<0.05. There were no changes of Rb in protein levels, while the phosphorylated Rb dropped obviously. Conclusion There was no obvious effects of clinical CO2 pneumoperitoneum on gastric cancer cells growth and proliferation.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficiency of selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor compared to traditional nonselective NSAIDs for the prevention of heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

METHODSBy searching Medline, Embase, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) and Science Citation Index et al, only randomised controlled studies of selective COX-2 inhibitors VS nonselective COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors for the prevention of HO after THA were included. The quality assessment of included studies was evaluated according to the standard of the Cochrane Collaboration, and the data were analysised by statistic software Stata 10.0. The HO incidence of both groups in different degrees was compared.

RESULTSFour eligible randomised controlled trials of totally 808 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that no statistically significant difference was found in overall incidence of HO (RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.71-1.64,P = 0.73), incidence of moderate severe HO (Brooker II and III) (RR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.48-1.42, P = 0.49) and any grade of Brooker classification between two groups. In all included studies, 16 patients receiving nonselective COX inhibitor (4.4%) discontinued treatment because of gastrointestinal toxicity,whereas 10 patients in the selective COX-2 inhibitor group (2.7%) discontinued for gastrointestinal side effects.

CONCLUSIONThe selective COX-2 inhibitors are as equally effective as nonselective NSAIDs for the prevention of HO after THA. Considering the side effects of nonselective NSAIDs, selective COX-2 inhibitors were recommend for the prevention of HO after THA.
