? AlM: To examine choroidal thickness and its relationship with axial length and spherical equivalent by spectral domain optical coherence tomography ( SD -OCT ) in patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization ( mCNV) .
?METHODS: We prospectively recruited 30 cases of mCNV in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from October 2010 to December 2014. SD-OCT was used to measure choroidal thickness subfoveally and at 1. 5mm superiorly, inferiorly, nasally and temporally ( SFCT, SCT1. 5mm , lCT1. 5mm , NCT1. 5mm , TCT1. 5mm ) . Paired t- test was conducted to assess the difference of spherical equivalent, axial length and choroidal thickness between mCNV group and controls. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between spherical equivalent, axial length, choroidal thickness and mCNV.
?RESULTS: The difference of spherical equivalent and axial length between mCNV group and controls was not significant (P>0. 05). lnferior was decreased in mCNV group compared with controls (140. 85±33. 46μm vs 168. 95±45. 36μm). The difference was significant (P=0. 008). Logistic regression demonstrated that decreased choroidal thickness ( lCT1. 5mm ) at inferior location was associated with mCNV (OR=2. 12;95%CI 1. 35~3. 28;P=0. 02).
?CONCLUSlON: The decrease of lCT1. 5MM may be one of the risk factors of mCNV.

Inflammation refers to the defensive reaction of living organisms with vascular systems against damage factors, and gets involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Uygur medicine is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as one of the four major ethnic medicines. It is widely applied in the clinical treatment of inflammatory diseases. In recent years, many domestic and foreign scholars have studied the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of effective components, effective fractions, extracts and compound preparations of Uygur medicine. In this paper, the authors summarized anti-inflammatory Uygur medicine, in the expectation of providing reference for discovering new anti-inflammatory drugs from Uygur medicine.

To evaluate the ultrasound imaging characteristics and diagnostic criteria for acute abdominal Meckel's di- verticulum disease (MD), we retrospectively analyzed the ultrasonic characteristics, clinical data of 58 cases of pathologically proved MD from January 2009 to May 2012. We found that among all the 58 patients, 21 patients were diagnosed with the preoperative clinical diagnosis of MD. Fourteen cases of MD inflammation with acute appendicitis were evaluated by pathological examinations after the surgery. We also found 4 cases of MD with perforation, 15 cases of MD with intussusceptions, 14 cases MD with intestinal obstruction, 5 cases of MD secondary to intestinal obstructionor intestinal necrosis, and 5 cases of MD without any obvious complications. Emergency ultrasound examinations revealed 8 cases of simple MD, 1 case of MD with intussusceptions, 9 cases of MD with acute appendicitis, 12 cases of MD with intestinal obstruction, 2 cases of MD with intussusceptions and intestinal obstruction, 1 case of MD with omphalocele and 1 case of MD with abdominal abscess. The emergency sonographic findings suggested that MD was relatively fixed bowel or thick-walled cystic mass, with one end connected to small intestine, and the other end connected to the blind side, at the periumbilicus region or at the lower right abdomen. A conclusion could be drawn that MD is difficult to be detected by ultrasound (detection rate was about 15. 5%), and MD with complications such as intussusceptions, intestinal obstruction, acute appendicitis can usually be more easily detected (detection rates were 24.1%, 24.1% and 15.5%, respectively). Sonography is a simple, effective way to make diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MD with different acute abdomen symptoms from other disease.
