Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2017;33(3):230-234
Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a fundus disease characterized by choroidal anomalous branch vascular network and terminal polypoidal dilatation.According to its fundus feature,lesion location,imaging feature and disease progression,PCV can be divided into different types or stages.It can be divided into hemorrhage and exudation PCV according to the fundus features,into macular,peripapillary,periphery and mixed types according to the lesion locations.It can also be divided into type 1 and 2 according to the ICGA (indocyanine green angiography) manifestations,and can be classified as early stage and late stage according to disease progression.There were different correlations between different types of PCV and some risk genetic loci,such as ARMS2 (age-related macular degeneration factor 2)/HTRA1 (high temperature essential protein A1),C2,complement factor B,complement factor H,and elastin genes.The response to therapy and prognosis are also different between different types.It is important to further study the clinical classification of PCV,to explore the genetic characteristics,influencing factors and treatment or prognosis features of different types of PCV.The results will improve the differential diagnosis of PCV,and the effectiveness of individualized treatment.

Objective To investigate the proportion, risk factors and tendency of the change of stones composition in recurrent urolithiasis. Methods One hundred and fifty-six recurrent urolithiasis patients from January 2011 to January 2016 were enrolled. Compositions of initial and recurrent stones were measured by infrared spectrophotometry. Stones types, recurrence interval and recurrence frequency were studied as potential risk factors for composition change. Chi square test and Logistic regression analysis was employed in the statistical analysis. Results Stones composition changed during recurrence in 48 patients (30.8%). 22.8%(18/79) of calcium oxalate stones change to infection stones, and 25.8%(8/31) of infection stones changed to calcium oxalate. Univariate analysis showed the risk ratio of composition change in the patients with recurrence interval of 1- 5 years was 0.529(P = 0.039) , compared with those of less than 1 year or more than 5 years. Logistic regression analysis showed the odds ratio of recurrence interval of 1- 5 years was 0.242 (95%CI: 0.086- 0.718, P = 0.012). Conclusions Stones composition changes in about 30.8% of recurrent urolithiasis. The mutual conversion between calcium oxalate and infection stones is the most common. Recurrence interval is an independent risk factor to predict composition change.

A stable HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) reaction in vitro was developed by a sensitive, selective and precise liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method. The optimized enzyme reac-tion condition contained 1.5μg of HMGR, 20 nM of NADPH with 50 min of reaction time. The method was validated by several intra-and inter-day assays. The production transitions of m/z 147.0/59.1 and m/z 154.0/59.1 were used to detect and quantify mevalonolactone (MVAL) and MVAL-D7, respectively. The accuracy and precision of the method were evaluated over the concentration range of 0.005–1.000μg/mL for MVAL and 0.010–0.500μg/mL for lovastatin acid in three validation batch runs. The lower limit of quantitation was found to be 0.005μg/mL for MVAL and 0.010μg/mL for lovastatin acid. Intra-day and inter-day precision ranged from 0.95%to 2.39%and 2.26%to 3.38%for MVAL, 1.46%to 3.89%and 0.57% to 5.10% for lovastatin acid, respectively. The results showed that the active ingredients in Xuezhikang capsules were 12.2 and 14.5 mg/g, respectively. This assay method could be successfully applied to the quality control study of Xuezhikang capsule for the first time.
