AIM: To analyze and summarize the effect of glaucoma trabeculectomy in the department of ophthalmology in basic hospital.
METHODS: Postoperative intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , filtering bleb and complications of 316 cases (405 eyes) of patients with glaucoma after trabeculectomy were analyzed.
RESULTS: After follow- up 12mo, 76. 5% IOP was controlled in normal level. 42. 5% was filtration bleb typeⅠ, 33. 1% typeII, 14. 6% in typeⅢand 9. 9% in typeⅣ. Intraoperative complication rate was 2. 5%, that was 31.4% at postoperative early stage ( before discharge ) , and 6. 7% at postoperative long - term ( 6mo after discharge) .
CONCLUSION:Trabeculectomy for glaucoma can better solve the problem of high IOP. It is more mature in primary hospitals, but there are still a variety of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

This paper was aim to optimize the purification technology of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata extract with macroporous adsorption resin. With the content of manninotriose as index, the absorptive flow and time were investigated, as well as kinds, amount, flow of eluent. D-101 type macroporous adsorption resin was the best choice for the purification of manninotriose. The optimized parameters were as follows: the content of manninotriose at 161.16-53.72 mg x g(-1), absorption time 240 min, eluting solvent of purified water, volume flow at 1.5 BV x h(-1), and eluant volume at 6 BV. D-101 type macroporous adsorption resin could significantly increase the purity of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata extract with the advantage of high absorption, remove most part of impurity, and the effect of semi-works production was better.

The five-flavor theory of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) and the flavor efficacy generation mechanism has long been focuses and difficulties in studies on traditional Chinese medicinal properties. In this paper, by using the pharmacophore-based virtual screening technique, the authors discussed the relations between the pungent property and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) by studying the TCM components' role in regulating TRPV1 ion channel. The results showed that the matching relationship between TRPV1 agonist pharmacophore model and TCM chemical components could identify the active ingredients from pungent herbs. Therefore, the authors proposed that TRPV1 is one of the potential targets for efficient pungent herbs. The pungent property of TCMs is decided by its chemical components, and consistent with the inherited and additive characteristics.

OBJECTIVETo summarize application of rafting K-wires technique for tibial plateau fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2013 to January 2015,45 patients with tibial plateau fractures were treated by locking plate with rafting K-wires, including 33 males and 12 females with an average of 44.2 years old ranging from 22 to 56 years old. According to Schatzker classification, 6 cases were type II, 8 were type Ill, 4 were type IV, 4 were type V, and 5 were type VI. Allogeneic bone graft were performed for bone defects. All patients were fixed with two to five K-wires. Part of weight loading were encouraged at 3 months after operation,and full weight-loading were done at 5 months after operation. Postoperative complications were observed,and Rasmussen clinical and radiological assessment were used to evaluate clinical results.

RESULTSAll Patients were followed up from 10 to 23 months with average of 14 months. According to Rasmussen clinical and radiological assessment, clinical scores 23.58 ± 6.33, radiological scores were 14.00 ± 6.33; and excellent and good rates were 82.2% and 77.8% respectively. Four patients occurred severe osteoporosis and collapse of articular surface; 5 patients occurred traumatic arthritis.

CONCLUSIONRafting K-wires technique with anatomized armor plate could effective fix and support platform collapse and joint bone fragments, increase support surface area and reduce postoperative reduction loss rate.

Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common but usually under-diagnosed in hospitalized patients,of the impact of which on patients is still unclear.The paper was aimed to investigate the impact of delayed recognition of AKI on short-time prognosis of patients through a propensity score matched study.Methods From Oct 2013 to Sep 2014,1401 adult hospitalized patients with AKI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were divided into delayed recognition group and timely-diagnosed group according to propensity score matching (1∶ 1) without replacement method.Primary endpoint was 30-day all-cause mortality,and secondary endpoints included recovery of kidney at discharge,length of hospitalization,length of intensive care unit stay and hospital costs.Results There were significant differences in age,department distribution,complications,stage of AKI,Charlson index,APACHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score between the two groups before matching.After matching,there were no significant difference in demographic data,department distribution,complications,stage of AKI,Charlson index,APACHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score between the two groups except in blood urea nitrogen (P=0.039) and use of diuretics (P=0.018).Delayed recognition of acute kidney injury was not associated with 30-day all-cause mortality in univariate (P=0.711) and multivariate Logistic regression analyses.The secondary endpoints did not differ in two groups.Conclusion Delayed acute kidney injury recognition did not associate with poor short-term outcomes in adult hospitalized patients.

The present is aimed at identifying the activation of TRAFs in n asopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in vitro. The differential expression of TRAF2\,TRAF3 was not detected in RN A and protein level, whereas the expression of TRAF1 in HNE2-LMP1 cell lines wa s much more abundant than that in HNE2 cell lines, suggesting that TRAF1 may be an inducible molecule; More importantly, TRAF1, TRAF2 or TRAF3 were activated in the HNE2-LMP1 cells, whereas TRAF1, TRAF2 or TRAF3 were not activated in HNE2 cells as detected by the immunoprecipitation-Western blotting assay. These data provide an experimental basis for our study beginning from the signal transduca tion pathway for the eluccidation of the mechanism of LMP1 carcinogenesis in NP C.

AIM To observe the endometrium receptivity of polycystic ovary syndrome patients and research advance of expression of HOXA10 in endometrium.METHODS Eighty PCOS patients were divided into treatment group and control group,40 persons in each group randomly.The control group was treated with clomiphene (CC) + human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) + human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG),and the treatment group was treated with CC + HMG + HCG + Yin-Nourishing Yang-Supplementing.After 3 periods,take a record for below:endometrial thickness (Em) in the middle,advanced stage and mid-secretory phase of hyperplasia endometrii,the levels of spiral artery PI/RI in midluteum endometrium,the levels in serum of E2 and P in midluteum endometrium,the expression of HOXA10 mRNA from both groups,clinical pregnancy rate and abortion rate for each group.RESULTS Compared with the control group,endometrial thickness in the treatment group was increased and there is statistical difference in the middle and late follicle phases (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no statistical difference in midluteum endometrium (P ＞ 0.05);the level of E2 and P in the treatment group were raised (P ＜0.05) with statistical significance;PI and RI were obviously contracted (P ＜ 0.01).Expression of HOXA10 mRNA was increased (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the control group,the treatment group had a significant difference in pregnancy rate (P ＜ 0.05).The abortion rate was lower,but there was no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION Yin-Nourishing Yang-Supplementing Treatment can obtain higher pregnancy rate and lower abortion rate of PCOS patients and the mechanism might be associated with raising the expression of HOXA10 mRNA and reducing spiral artery PI/RI,also improving the function of corpus luteum treatment,then to improve the receptivity of endometrium.Yin-Nourishing Yang-Supplementing Treatment is well worth popularizing in further clinical application.

Objective To report the development of clinical symptoms in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia(adPEO).Methods Electromyologram and muscle biopsy were performed in the proband and 4 family members with the disease.Results The proband was a 57 year-old woman,who developed bilateral ptosis after the age of 30,external ophthalmoplegia after the age of 35 years old,weakness of extremities at the age of 37 years old and bulb palsy with palmus at the age of 47 years old.In the family there were 20 male and female members from five generations.All of them complained about bilateral ptosis between 26—33 years old,external ophthalmoplegia(12/15)and weakness of all extremities(14/15)between 35—45,facial and masticatory weakness(9/9)as well as dysphagia(8/9)between 44—60,accompanied with heart lesions(4/7)after 50 years old.Some patients died due to cardiac impairment.Electromyologram showed myopathic abnormalities in the examined patients. The main myopathological changes were ragged red fibers,cytochrome c oxidase negative fibers and ragged blue fibers in succinate dehydrogenase staining.Conclusions The adPEO started from extra-ocular muscles to limbs,finally facial and bulbar muscles.Heart lesions were presented in late stage and lead to death in some members.The developing process of symptoms suggested that we should pay more attention to cardiac manifestations in this disease.

Objective To investigate the axonal lesion in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(CIDP).Methods Eighteen patients had undergone sural nerve biopsy.The clinical and electrophysiological distinction based on the different pathological changes were analyzed.Results Five patients with demyelination predominance which presented myelinated fiber with thin myelin.Three of them showed also mild axonal degeneration.Eight patients with axonal lesion predominance which presented Wallerian degeneration and regeneration of myelinated fibers.Three patients with mixed myelin and axon lesion of myelinated fibers and two with mild lesion.There was no significant difference between CIDP predominantly with axonal lesion and demyelination.Electrophysiological examination shows both axonal lesion and demyelination feature in some of the 2 types patients at the same time.Conclusions Axonal lesion is a common pathological change in CIDP and should not be considered as an exclusive criterion in diagnosis of the disease.Infiltration of macrophages is a common change.

Pneumoconiosis is the most common occupational disease in China, which severely endangers people's health. Depending on the inhaled air pollutants, pneumoconiosis is classified as anthracosis, silicosis, asbestosis, etc., among which silicosis is the most common and serious. Silicosis is a systemic, poor prognostic disease characterized by diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue, which is caused by long-term exposure to dust with high levels of free silicon dioxide (SiO₂) in the occupational environment. Appropriate treatment in time is important for the disease. Unfortunately, no effective drugs have been approved to delay or even reverse pulmonary fibrosis caused by SiO₂. This review briefly classifies potent therapeutic drugs and compounds in term of mechanisms, providing the probability for clinical treatment of silicosis.
