· AlM:To compare the therapeutic effects of different surgical methods in treating pterygium patients and to observe tear film stability.
· METHODS: A total of 120 pterygium patients ( 120 eyes) were divided into three groups, each 40 cases (40 eyes).Data including SchirmerⅠtest (SⅠt), tear break-up time ( BUT) , corneal fluorescein staining ( CFS) were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively to evaluate the clinical efficacy of surgery and the effects of tear function changes.
·RESULTS:There were no significant differences in BUT in group A before the operation and one month after operation.Groups B and C showed significant difference before and after operation, but differences were not statistically significant ( all P<0.05 ); One month after operation, there was significant difference in CFS among group A, B and C (P<0.05), but the difference was not satistically significant between groups B and C; After 3mo, BUT in group A was not significant difference compared with the preoperative; but there was significant difference in groups B and C (P<0.05).When
compared it between groups B and C, there showed no significant difference; Group A showed no significant difference in SⅠt compared with preoperative, SⅠt of groups B and C were significant differences compared with preoperative (P<0.05), but no significant difference between the two groups;After 3mo, CFS of preoperative group A and group B and group C had no significant difference. After 10mo follow - up, there was axsignificant difference ( P<0.05 ) in recurrence rate in group A comparing with groups B and C, there were differences between groups B and C, but no statistically significant.Surgery is more likely to relapse in summer than in winter.
·CONCLUSlON: Pterygium excision combined with self-corneal limbal stem cell transplantation and Tenon capsule closed is an ideal surgical to reduce the recurrence and improve tear film function to some extent.

Objective To evaluate clinical curative effect of levosimendan therapy on patients with refractory heart failure.Methods A total of 84 patients with refractory heart failure were randomly and equally divided into le-vosimendan group and routine treatment group.Both groups received routine antiheart failure medication,levosimendan group received levosimendan therapy while routine treatment received milrinone injection therapy additionally.Changes of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and plasma level of N terminal pro type B natriuretic peptide(NT -proB-NP)were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results Compared with routine treatment group, there were significant increase in total effective rate of LVEF[(0.36 ±0.18)% vs.(0.42 ±0.36)%],and in NT -proBNP[(975.14 ±247.01)ng/mL vs.(832.14 ±224.78)ng/mL].The effect before and after treatment of levosi-mendan group were more obviously (NT -proBNP:t =2.3 -230.2,P <0.02;LVEF:t =2.29 -215.2,P <0.01). Conclusion Levosimendan can significantly improve heart function,decrease NT -proBNP level in patients with re-fractory heart failure.

Background The visual system of animal have to optimally adjust in various environmental conditions in order to obtain stable and effective visual funetion.However,the color vision system of animals which encounter uncertainty of spectral signals should be plastic.Whether the densities of various cones and expression of opsins change with long-time spectral deprivation is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the changes of cone density as well as the expression of corresponding opsin and mRNA following the long-term illumination of monochromatic light.Methods Thirty 3-day-old guinea pigs were randomized into 3 groups and exposed tO the 530 nm green light,400 nm purple light and white light for consecutive 8 weeks respectively.The flat-mounted retinal sample was prepared and divided into dorsal zone,ventral zone and mixed zone anatomically according to the distribution of difierent light-sensitive cone.The changes in density of cone cells sensitivited to different colored light were detected by single-1abel or double-label immunocytochemistry.The levels of opsin and its mRNA were determined using Western-blot and real-time PCR respectively.Results The density of green-sensitivity cones was significantly different in the dorsal zone of retina among green light group,purple light group and white light group (F=234.28,P<0.01).Compared with white light group,the density of green-sensitive cones in dorsal retina of green light group was obviously higher but that of purple light group wag evidently lower(q=389.68,P<0.01；q=67.11,P<0.01).No significant difference was found in the density of purple-sensitive cones in the ventral zone of retina among green light group,purple light group and white light group(F=3.14,P>0.05).The density of coexpression of the mixed cone cells was increased in green light group(q=157.55,P<0.01)but decreased in purple light roup (q=254.85,P<0.01)in comparison with white light group.The expression levels of green-opsin and green-opsin mRNA in green light group was significantly elevated(q=184.45,P<0.01；q=4.71,P<0.05),but those of purple light group were evidently declined(q=5.87,P<0.05；q=346.66,P<0.01)in comparison with white light group.There was no statistically significant differences were found in the expression of purple-opsin and its mRNA among all the groups(F=1.24,P>0.05；F=3.27,P>0.05).Conclusion After the exposure of long-time monochromatic light illumination,monochromatic cones density and its opsin in guinea pig occur the corresponding alteration to gain good spatial vision as a compensatory reaction.These outcomes imply that there is some plasticity during the development of color vision.The increase of green-sensitive cones might be from the differentiation of coexpression cones in transition region.

METHODS: Endometriosis rat models were made by autograft of endometrium in abdomen.Four weeks after operation,EMS model rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a model group,3 Dispel Stasis Decoction groups and a danazol group.All the rats were treated for three weeks respectively,and then anaesthetised and killed.The ectopic endometrium's focuses were observed by microscope,the levels of TNF-? and E_2 in the serum of all groups were measured by radioimmunoassay.The method of body twist and ear edema of mouse were used to the analysis the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of Dispel Stasis Decoction. RESULTS: The survived graft shrinked and the number of the glanduls decreased in rats of Dispel Stasis Decoction group.The levels of TNF-? and E_2 in the serum were significantly lower than that of the model group.Also,Dispel Stasis Decoction could inhibite the ear edema of the mouse induced by dimethylbenzene and the body twist of the mouse caused by acetic acid notablely. CONCLUSION: Dispel Stasis Decoction inhibited growth of the graft and showed a significant therapeutic effects on EMS model rat.It also has notable functions of anti-inflammatory and analgesic.This may be related to its inhibition of TNF-? and E_2 levels.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preservation of the structure and function of the trachea and larynx, the management of laryngotracheal defect when trachea and larynx was involved. METHOD: To review the management and clinical results of 13 cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma with larynx and trachea involvement, the preservation of laryngotracheal structure and relative defect reconstruction of our department from 2007-2014. Those patients being performed total laryngectomy was excluded. 3 males and 10 females, aged from 46 to 67 years old with median age of 53 were included. Among them 8 cases were recurrent. The extent of the tumor foci was estimated with the help of computed tomography and laryngofiberoscope before surgery. Selective neck dissection, total thyroidectomy and related laryngotracheal resection was performed for the first time operation patient, while selective neck dissection, recurrent foci and related larynx and trachea resection was performed for those recurrent patients. Three kinds of modalities were applied to manage the laryngotracheal defect including to reconstruct with pedicled sternocleidomastoid clavicular periosteocutaneous flap, pedicled trapizius muscular flap and to preserve the remaining larynx and trachea and perform a stoma of larynx and trachea which repaired by a second-stage procedure. The patients were followed-up from half an year to 3 years. RESULT: Ten patients out of 13 decannulated while another 3 cases, 2 of which were performed local flap to reduce the stoma, wore tracheal tubes all time. CONCLUSION Either flap transfer or laryngotracheal stoma before second stage repair might preserve partial laryngotacheal anatomy and function in selected cases thus improve the life quality of the patients.
