To summarize the etiological factor and to assess the therapeutic effect for neovascular glaucoma(NVG).Methods A retrospective study of 28 cases (29 eyes) with NVG was performed. The mean age, proportion of sex and primary ocular disease, incidence of symptom, sign and postoperative complication were analyzed. Results 78 6% of the patients were over 40 years old. 62% of the patients were secondary to the ocular ischemic disease such as central retina vein occlusion and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The clinical characters included intraocular pressure (IOP) increasing, pain, mixed conjunctival congestion and rubeosis iridis. The mean IOP reduction was 19.5 mmHg in 29 eyes after antiglaucomatous drags treatment and 19.13mmHg in 23 eyes after Hunan aqueous humor drainage (HAD) implantation. The common postoperative complications were flat anterior chamber and choroidal detachment. The success rate of HAD implantation was 87%.Conclusions NVG was commonly secondary to ocular ischemic disease. Although prevention was the principal, reducing IOP and ameliorating ischemic situation were as the same important.

Objective To observe the efficacy of urinary kallidinogenase plus batroxobin in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.Methods 105 patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected and divided into 3 groups:urinary kallidinogenase group (35 cases),combined treatment group (39 cases),batroxobin group (31 cases).The NIHSS score,Barthel Index,MRS score were evaluated before treatment and 10 days after treatment,and the clinical efficacy was compared.Results The NIHSS score significantly decreased after treatment in the three groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The effective rate of combined treatment group was better than that of the single treatment group (urinary kallidinogenase group or batroxobin group) [79.5 ％ (31/39),71.4 ％ (25/35),35.4％ (11/31) (x2 =15.801,P =0.001)].The Barthel Index and MRS score of combined treatmentgroup were better than those of the batroxobin group (P =0.003),not better than the urinary kallidinogenase group (P =0.766).Conclusion Urinary kallidinogenase plus batroxobin is effective in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum leptin levels and the influential factors in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods Seventy-six peritoneal dialysis patients were chosen at the time before,and 3 months,6 months,12 months,18 months and 24 months after they began the peritoneal dialysis therapy,to examine body mass index (BMI),triceps skinfold thickness (TSF),abdominal circumference,homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR),the plasma lipid profile,and leptin in the same situation.Results For 24 months,these patients showed higher serum leptin level than the values before commencing peritoneal dialysis treatment (P ＜ 0.01).The level of leptin was positively correlated with the BMI(r =0.412,P ＜ 0.01),TSF(r =0.308,P ＜ 0.01),abdominal circumference(r =0.284,P ＜ 0.01),HOMA-IR(r =0.184,P ＜ 0.01) and TG(r =0.288,P ＜ 0.01),negatively corelated with the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)(r =-0.285,P ＜ 0.01).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (β =0.339,P ＜ 0.01),TGβ =0.157,P ＜ 0.01) and HDL (β =-0.126,P ＜ 0.05)were significant predictive factors for the changes of serum leptin levels.Conclusion Leptin maybe involve in the occurrence and the development of cardiovascular events like other metabolic parameters in peritoneal dialysis therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of extracts ofLiaoxuan Kaxifu Powders (LE) on proliferation and transcription of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in HaCaT induced by TNF-α; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods Cultured HaCaT was assigned into normal group, TNF-α group and low-, medium- and high-dose of LE group. Every group was induced by 40 ng/mL TNF-α except for normal group, and then LE groups were treated by different concentrations (8, 40, 200μg/mL) of LE for 48 h. The proliferation of HaCaT was evaluated by MTT and the apoptosis was detected by inverted fluorescence microscope. Levels of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in HaCaT were assessed by ELISA, and their mRNA expressions was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results Compared with normal group, the absorbency of HaCaT and the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1 increased in TNF-α group (P<0.05,P<0.01); compared with TNF-α group, LE of all dose groups could significantly inhibit the absorbency, decrease the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1 (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion LE is able to inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT induced by TNF-α, and the mechanism is probably related to promoting apoptosis and down-regulating the gene expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1, and then maintaining the normal level of HaCaT.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the current cognition of occupational exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the personal occupational protection awareness in healthcare workers in Liuzhou, China.

METHODSA total of 270 healthcare workers were selected from 10 hospitals in Liuzhou by stratified random sampling for a cross-sectional study. And a self-administered questionnaire of occupational exposure to HIV was designed to conduct a survey. The descriptive analysis of data was carried out by Excel. And a logistic regression analysis was done to analyze the effects of different factors on healthcare workers' cognition of occupational exposure to HIV using the statistical analysis software SPSS 19.0.

RESULTSA total of 260 usable questionnaires (96.3%) were returned. Among them, 220 healthcare workers (84.6%) had received the trainings on occupational exposure to HIV; 223 healthcare wofkers (85.8%) were aware of the rules and regulations on prevention of occupational exposure to HIV and the operation procedures in their hospitals. The healthcare workers who had not received the trainings or had not known the rules and regulations and the operation procedures were mainly from primary or secondary hospitals. A total of 106 healthcare workers (40.8%) had directly contacted patients' blood or body fluids; 154 healthcare workers (59.2%) were injured by sharp instruments, and most were hollow needle stick injuries (98/154, 63.6%). A total of 168 healthcare workers (68.08%) had better cognitive awareness of occupational exposure to HIV, and 76 healthcare workers (29.2%) had moderate cognitive awareness. Some healthcare workers had poor knowledge in the common sense of AIDS/HIV and occupational exposure to HIV, the personal protection awareness of occupational exposure, or the disposal measures after occupational exposure. The univariate analysis using chi-square test showed that occupation and professional title were significantly correlated with the cognition (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the doctors (OR3.8; P<0.05), nurses (OR3.04, P<0.05), and laboratory technicians (OR=9.51, P<0.05) had better awareness compared with the others. The healthcare workers with a primary or lower professional title had poorer awareness compared with the healthcare workers with a higher professional title (OR=0.47, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONHealthcare workers have the risk of occupational exposure to HIT. They do not have comprehensive and systematic knowledge related to occupational exposure to HIV, and they have a high demand for training.
