Objective To optimize the treatment of chronic hepatitis C recurrence.Methods During May 2008 to May 2012, 50 patients with chronic recurrent hepatitis C were chosen in the infectious department of our hospital.They were divided into two groups with 25 cases in each group.Group A was treated by standard extended treatment scheme,while Group B was treated by standard large dose scheme.The effect was estimated by the observation of sustained virologic response in the two groups (sus-tained virologic response,SVR).Results 32% SVR rate was found in group A and 23% SVR rate was found in Group B.38% re-currence rate appeared in group A after six months and 43% recurrence rate occurred in group B,there were significant difference between two groups(P <0.05).Conclusion The standard extended treatment schemes of pegylated interferon and ribavirin is su-perior to group B in SVR rate.

Objective To select microRNAs (miRNA) associated with human cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM). Methods Total RNA was extracted from 6 tissue samples of MM and 9 human control samples of pigmented nevi, and small RNAs of less than 200 bp were enriched, miRNA microarray was used to select differentially expressed miRNAs between tissue samples of MM and pigmented nevi from 468 candi-dates. The expression of differentially expressed miRNAs was confirmed by fluorescence based real-time quan-titative PCR (qPCR) in all of these samples. Those miRNAs that were identified as differentially expressed with both miRNA microarray and qPCR were considered as significant miRNAs. Results Between the tissue samples of MM and pigmented nevi, 12.18% to 86.33% of miRNAs differentially expressed by more than 2 folds, 1.28% to 19.02% by more than 5 folds, and 0.43% to 5.34% by more than 10 folds. The expression of miRNA-21 was obviously up-regulated, while that of miRNA-320 and miRNA-494 was down-regulated in the MM samples. Conclusion There is an increase in the expression of homo sapiens miRNA-21 but a decrease in that of miRNA-320 and miRNA-494 in MM tissues.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of photodynamic therapy combined with compound betamethasone in the treatment of hypertrophic scar.
METHODS37 cases of keloid were divided into two groups, 19 cases in the treatment group, 18 cases in the control group. The patients in treatment group were treated with photodynamic therapy combined with compound betamethasone injection therapy. The patients in the control group were treated by compound betamethasone injection. The effect and recurrence rate were compared before and after treatment.
RESULTSThe effective rate was 89.5% in the treatment group, 55. 6% in the control group, showing significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.029) The relapse rate in treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P = 0.047) CONCLUSIONS: Photodynamic therapy combined with compound betamethasone has good effect and safety for the treatment of hypertrophic scar. The combined treatment can reduce the treatment period and side effects

AIM:To analyze the recovery of visual cortex activation range of color vision in anisometropia amblyopia children after treatment by using blood oxygen level dependence-functional magnetic resonance imaging ( BOLD- fMRI ) and SPM8 software.
METHODS:Self-control study. This fMRI study directly compared activity in visual cortex produced by color monocular stimulation in 13 monocular anisometropia amblyopia children. The project of study was blocked design. The data of functions and anatomical MRI was stimulated by three-primary colors and was preprocessed and analyzed by SPM8 that based on MATLAB software. According to the data, we compared the change of the central area of color vision when first visit and 1, 2 ,4wk after treatment.
RESULTS: The BA17, BA18, BA19 and BA37 of amblyopia children were different activated after they accepted the three-primary colors stimulation (P<0. 01). After 4wk treatment, amblyopia children accepted red stimulation, the visual cortex activation range without expanding; after accepting green stimulus, on the left side of the visual cortex BA37, BA19, BA20, the average t value were 3. 5210, 3. 2716, 3. 1534 ( P< 0. 01 ); after accepting blue stimulation, the scope of the right side of visual cortex at BA19, BA18 were expanded to different extent, the average t value were 3. 7345, 3. 2701 (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION: After 4wk treatment, visual cortex activation of color vision of anisometropia amblyopic children is expanded, but with low extent, after the short-term treatment of amblyopia, visual cortex activation of color vision has a certain degree of recovery but not obvious.

Background It has been proved that as an important adhesion protein of extracellular matrix,osteopontion (OPN) can affect tumor neovascularization.Some new researches showed that anti-OPN antibody plays a role in regulating the neovascular vessel formation.Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) has the same structure with tumor neovascularization,but whether anti-OPN antibody restricts new vessel formation is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of anti-OPN antibody on CNV.Methods Laser-induced CNV models were created in 40 eyes of 40 male SPF C57BL/6J mice by Argon laser photocoagulation of retinas,with the wavelength 514 nm.Thirty-six successful models were randomly divided into anti-OPN antibody group,mouse-IgG group and PBS group by the randomized number table.On the second day after photocoagulation,anti-OPN antibody of 400 μg was intraperitoneally injected in the anti-OPN antibody group,and the equivalent amount of mouse IgG and PBS were used in the same way in the mouse IgG group and PBS group.The CNV was evaluated by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) on the seventh days after photocoagulation.The mice were immediately sacrificed and the eyeballs were enucleated on the fourteenth day after photocoagulation,and 4 eyeballs in each group were used to observe the areas of CNV on the retinal pigmental epithelium-choroid-sclera fiat mounts,and the other 8 eyeballs of each groups were used to analyze the expression levels of OPN mRNA and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) mRNA using quantitative fluorescence-PCR (QF-PCR).Results FFA showed fluorescein leakage areas around laser spots 7 days after photocoagulation,indicating that CNV appeared.The CNV areas were ([16.98±0.70] × 103) μm2,([27.13 ± 0.81] × 103) μm2 and ([35.39±2.14] ×103) μm2 respectively in the anti-OPN antibody group,mouse IgG group and PBS group,with a significant difference among the 3 groups (F =533.76,P =0.00),and the CNV area was significantly smaller in the anti-OPN antibody group compared with those of the mouse IgG group and PBS group (q =-3.95,-4.40,both at P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the OPN mRNA expression between the antiOPN antibody group and mouse IgG group (t =-5.26,P =0.66).However,the expression of VEGF mRNA in choroidal tissue was significantly declined in the anti-OPN antibody group than that in the mouse IgG group (t =-6.74,P<0.01).Conclusions Anti-OPN antibody suppresses the formation of CNV in laser-induced mouse model by down-regulating VEGF.
