AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of carbomer eye gel combined with polyethylene glycol eye drops on the treatment of dry eye. ·METHODS:Totally 120 dry eye patients(240 eyes) were randomly divided into the observation group ( n = 60 cases) and the control group ( n=60 cases) . Two groups were given the polyethylene glycol eye drops. On the basis of this, the observation group were given the carbomer eye gel. The course of treatment was 1mo. The levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, eye symptom score [ ocular surface disease index ( OSDI ) , break-up time ( BUT ) , Schirmer Ⅰ test ( SⅠt ) , corneal fluorescein staining ( FL) ] , efficacy and adverse reactions in two groups were compared. ·RESULTS: After treatment, the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, OSDI and FL in two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment and BUT and SⅠT were significantly higher than those before treatment, showing statistically significant differences ( P< 0. 05 ). Moreover, the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, OSDI, BUT, SⅠT, FL in the observation group were improved better than those in the control group ( P<0. 05 ). The total effective rate of the control group was significantly lower than that of the observation group, indicating statistically significant difference (x2=5. 065, P=0. 024). There were no ocular symptoms and drug intolerance in two groups. · CONCLUSION: Carbomer eye gel combined with polyethylene glycol eye drops has obvious curative effect on dry eye, which is better than that treated by polyethylene glycol eye drops, and this combination does not increase the adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate any correlation between walking capacity, center of mass, and pelvic and hemiparetic lower limb motions in stroke survivors. Methods The kinematic variables studied included maximum walking speed, center of mass ( CoM ), pelvic movements and lower-limb movements on the paretic side. These were examined using a three-dimension motion analysis system as thirty-two post-stroke hemiparetic patients walked without aids. Results Average walking capacity was significantly correlated with lateral shifting of the CoM, with paretic limb hip extension, and with deficient knee flexion motions. There was a significant correlation between lateral CoM shifting and paretic limb hip extension and also deficient knee movement. Conclusions Walking capacity after stroke is associated with the lateral shifting of the CoM, paretic limb hip extension and deficient knee flexion. The lateral CoM shifting was associated with paretic limb hip extension and deficient knee movements.

Background and purpose:With the widespread use of screening of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate cancers at organ-conifned stage are increasing in newly diagnosed cases. However, some defects remain in conventional monoexponential diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating organ-conifned prostate cancer from benign lesions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain biexponential apparent diffusion parameters of prostate organ-conifned cancer, chronic prostatitis in peripheral zone (PZ) and normal PZ tissue, and to compare with monoexponential apparent diffusion coeffcient (ADC) for differentiating prostate cancer from prostatitis lesions. Methods:Sixteen patients with pathologically confirmed prostate organ-confined cancer in PZ, 14 with prostatitis underwent conventional (b-factors 0, 1 000 s/mm2) and 10b-factors (0-3 000 s/mm2) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).The monoexponential ADC value and biexponential parameters fast ADC (ADCf), fraction of ADCf (f), slow ADC (ADCs) value for prostate cancer, prostatitis and normal tissues were calculated and compared. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed for those parameters.Results:Biexponential and monoexponential parameters were obtained for 18 prostate cancers, 18 prostatitis and 37 normal PZ tissues. The ADC value of prostate cancer tissues was remarkably lower [(0.83±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s] than that of other tissues (P<0.01), while the ADC value of prostatitis [(1.45±0.19)×10-3 mm2/s] was lower than that of PZ [(1.67±0.31)×10-3 mm2/s] (P<0.01). Prostate cancer tissues had low-er ADCf [(1.54±0.23)×10-3 mm2/s],f [(45.8±5.4)%] and ADCs [(0.52±0.15)×10-3mm2/s] than the other tissues (P<0.01). The ADCf,f and ADCs were higher in PZ [(3.90±0.40)×10-3, (67.3±8.2)% and (1.51±0.36)×10-3 mm2/s] than prostatitis [(3.06±0.49)×10-3, (47.9±3.9)% and (0.91±0.29)×10-3 mm2/s) (P<0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) of ADCf and ADC were similar in differentiating cancer and prostatitis (0.96vs 0.94) (P>0.01), but the AUC off and ADCs in differ-entiating cancer from prostatitis (0.83 and 0.80) were signiifcantly lower than that of ADC (P<0.01).Conclusion:The biexponential DWI provided additional tissue characterization parameters for different prostate tissues. ADCf yielded comparable accuracy with ADC in identiifcation of prostate organ-conifned cancer. The biexponential parameter could further improve the diagnostic effcacy.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of magnesium sulfate combined with nifedipine in the treatment of patients with pregnancy induced hypertension( HDCP) .Methods Retrospective study was used in this study and 116 patients with HDCP from January 2013 to July 2015 in department of obstetrics and gynecology from our hospital were divided into two groups, including routine group of 62 patients who received routine treatment +magnesium sulfate) and combination group of 54 patients who received routine treatment +magnesium sulphate +nifedipine.The clinical effect was analyzed after five days’ continuous treatment.Results The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure,24h urinary protein, random urine protein /creatinine,serum homocysteine (Hcy) and CRP values in combination group were lower than routine group (P<0.05).There were no statistical difference in maternal uterine inertia, neonatal asphyxia, fetal distress, postpartum hemorrhage rate between the two groups after the treatment.But the rate of cesarean section in the combination group(50.00%)was significantly lower than that in the routine group(68.25%)(P <0.05).Conclusion Magnesium sulfate combined with nifedipine in the treatment of patients with HDCP had better antihypertensive effect, and would not increase fetal adverse birth outcomes incidence and significantly reduce the rate of cesarean section.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with no femoral shortening oste?otomy for unilateral CroweⅣ developmental dysplasia of hip. Methods From October 2007 to January 2010, 32 patients with CroweⅣdevelopmental dysplasia of hip in one side underwent THA, including 20 females and 12 males, with an average age of 49.4 ± 9.7 years (range, 23-60 years). There were 15 cases as normal and 17 as mild developmental dysplasia of hip in the other side. The THA were performed with requisite soft tissue release and direct leverage using an elevator but with no femoral shorten?ing osteotomy. The patients' satisfaction, Harris hip score, bilateral leg?length discrepancy and pelvic obliquity was used to assess the clinical results. Results All of patient were followed up for 1-6 years, average 4.0 ± 1.5 years. No loosening or failure of component occurred by the end of follow?up. The Harris hip score was improved from preoperative 36.5±10.3 (20-63) to 89.8± 4.9 (80-97), and the excellent and good rate was 100% (excellent 16 cases, good 16 cases). The satisfactory rate was 93.8%(30/32). The leg?length discrepancy of the bilateral sides and the pelvic obliquity was corrected gradually and the gait returns to normal. Nine cases have valgus knee after THA and 4 cases of them felt uncomfortable after long?distance walk. Femoral nerve injury occurred in 2 cases. All of cases recovered after 1 and 3 months respectively. No infection and dislocation oc?curred. Conclusion THA with no femoral shortening osteotomy can achieve good clinical results in patients with unilateral CroweⅣdevelopmental dysplasia of hip. The discrepancy of leg?length will be diminished with the correction for pelvic obliquity.
