Objective To investigate the correlation of blood lipid metabolism abnormity and other components of metabolic syndrome on angiocardiopathy and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly people. Methods The clinical data of elderly people, who underwent medical examination during 1996 to 2005 in the General Hospital of PLA, were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the analysis, the co-existence of blood lipid disorders with glucose metabolic abnormity, hypertension and obesity, as well as their influence on cardio-cerebrovascular diseases were further analyzed. Results The prevalence of blood lipid metabolic disturbance was 69.6%, in which the prevalence of hyper-cholesteremia and hyper-triglyceride were 23.6% and 21.7%, respectively. The prevalence of hyper-cholesteremia accompanied by hyper-triglyceride (mixed group) was 19.3%, that of hyper-triglyceride with lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol was 5.03%, while it was 30.4% in the normal group. There was a higher risk of having the above abnormal condition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, and they were more frequently complicated by hypertension in the hyper-triglyceride group (70.8%). When the patients with lipid metabolic disturbance were complicated by T2DM, hypertension and obesity, the prevalence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases increased. The prevalence of CHD was higher in the patients with hyper-cholesteremia and hypertension or diabetes, and incidence of both CHD and CVD was higher in the patients with hyper-triglyceride and either one of hypertension, diabetes or obesity. Conclusion There is high prevalence of lipid metabolic disturbance (more than two thirds) and other components of metabolic syndrome, and high risk of suffering from cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases in elderly people. The aging patients with hyper-triglyceride are vulnerable to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, and more attention should be paid in clinical practice in future.

Objective:To explore the clinical signiifcance of the protection of superior petrosal vein (SPV) in the microneurosurgery for acoustic neuroma. Methods:From January 2009 to July 2011, 149 cases of acoustic neuroma microsurgery were observed. hTe difference in hematoma in surgical area, cerebellar hematoma and cerebellar edema were compared between a SPV without protection group (SPVWP group, n=8) and a SPV protection group (SPVP group, n=141). Results:In the 149 patients with acoustic neuroma, the SPV was reserved in 141 patients. In the SPVWP group (8 patients), hematoma in the surgery area occurred in 4 patients, cerebellar edema in 5, and cerebellar hemorrhage in 3. In the SPVP group (141 patients), hematoma in the surgery area occurred in 40 patients, cerebellar edema in 56, and cerebellar hemorrhage in 12. hTere was signiifcant difference in the incidence of cerebellar hemorrhage (χ2=3.84, P=0.05), no signiifcant difference in the incidence of hematoma in the surgical area (χ2=0.646, respectively, P=0.422), and no significant difference in the incidence of cerebellar edema (χ2=0.611, P=0.434) between the SPVWP group and the SPVP group. Conclusion:In acoustic neuroma surgery, the SPV should be protected, which may reduce the risk of cerebellar hemorrhage.

Background The classical theory from Gass holds that idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is due to the dragging of vitreous cortex in the tangent direction on the macular region,while spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT)studies found that the diameters of inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) absence (DIOA) region was closely associated with vision ability of IMH patients.Enhanced depth imaging (EDI) is thought to be a new method to study the relation between DIOA and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) ,but there are few relevant reports.Objective This study aimed to observe the correlation between photoreceptor IS/OS junction and SFCT before and after vitrectomy in IMH by EDI SD-OCT.Methods Forty unilateral IMH patients were enrolled in Affiliated Foshan Hospital of Southern Medical University from June 2011 to June 2013.Vitrectomy (23G) was performed on the patients by the same operator.EDI mode of SD-OCT was used to measure DIOA and SFCT in horizontal direction before and 6 months after surgery.The relationship between DIOA and SFCT was evaluated using Pearson linear correlation analysis.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before medical assessment.Results IMH was anatomically closed after vitrectomy in 34 eyes with the closure rate 85%.The mean DIOA was (1 280±753) μm in preoperation, which was significantly higher than (656 ± 322) μm in postoperation (t =4.989, P =0.000).The mean SFCT was (130±43)μm in preoperation,showing a slight reduce in comparison with (140±38)μrn in postoperation, but there was not statistical significance between them (t =-1.407, P =0.175).Negative correlations were found between DIOA and SFCT in both preoperation and postoperation (preoperation:r=-0.748 ,P=0.000;postoperation: r=-0.686,P =0.001).Conclusions The alteration of DIOA shows a negative correlation with SFCT in IMH eyes,suggesting a contributing role of the choroid in the change of photoreceptors of IMH.
