Glaucoma is a progressive optic nerve disease, it can cause structural changes of the optic nerve, resulting in irreversible damage of visual function. Early diagnosis is the key to treat the disease at an early stage to stop or delay the progression of visual functional defects. New technologies, including optic nerve and nerve fiber layer structural tests and visual functional tests, increased the diagnosis rate of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) at an early stage.

Small cell lung cancer ( SCLC ) is one common type of lung cancer in China. No remarkable progress has been made in systemic therapy for SCLC since the 90’ s. However, there are some advances in radiotherapy ( RT) for SCLC, which make it possible to improve treatment outcomes of SCLC. Those advances are mainly made in thoracic RT and prophylactic cranial irradiation for extensive?stage SCLC, radiation dose and technology of thoracic RT for limited?stage SCLC, and significance of prophylactic cranial irradiation for early?stage SCLC. The paper reviews the research advances in the East and West to provide some help and references for readers.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of primary ovarian lymphoma(POL). Methods:A retrospective review was performed based on the clinical records of 14 POL cases treated at Tianjin Medical University Oncology in-stitute Hospital verity from 2000-6 to 2010-5. Results:The median age of patients was 47 years at presentation(range 28~62years). Ab-dominal pain was the most common initial symptom. The majority of histological subtype was B cell lymphoma, above 50%of which is diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A R0 resection was carried out in 2 patients who were lost to follow-up soon after sur-gery. 11 patients were treated by CHOP, FC or CHOPE chemotherapy. Chemotherapy combined with rituximab were given to 5 pa-tients. Until now, 5 patients were alive, 6 patients died, and only one patient was lost to follow up after therapy. Conclusion:POL is an extremely rare lymphoma. The ultimate diagnosis depends on histopathologic examination. Primary ovarian non-Hodgkin lymphoma should be treated with multi-modality strategies. Treatment with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy after oophorotomy is recommended. B cell lymphoma preferred to use rituximab combination chemotherapy. Abdominal cavity chemotherapy prophylaxis and irradiation can decrease the probability for recurrence .

Twenty four patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with severe respiratory failure were divided into two groups randomly: sequential ventilation group and control ventilation group (n = 12 in each group). Patients in sequential group received invasive ventilation at beginning, once the pulmonary infection control window (PICW) reached the trachea cannula was extubated immediately replaced by Bi-level positive airway pressure( BiPAP) noninvasive ventilation with oral-nasal mask; while in control ventilation group the invasive ventilation was continued using pressure support ventilation (PSV) until stopping mechanical ventilation. The total ventilation time, the invasive ventilated time,the length of stay in hospital,monitoring time and the incidence rate of ventilation associated pneumonia (VAP) were evaluated in two groups. The total ventilation time [(7. 8 ±2. 5 ) d, (12 ±2. 2) d], the invasive ventilated time [(4. 9 ±2. 2)d, and (12 ± 2. 2) d] the length of hospital stay [(8. 5 ± 2. 5 ) d, (13 ± 2. 6) d] in the sequential ventilation group were significantly shorter than those in the control ventilation group (P ＜ 0.05); the incidence rate of VAP was lower than that in the control group. The results indicates that sequential ventilation with the guidance of PICW can shorten the total ventilation time, the critical monitoring time and the length of hospital stay, it can also reduce the incidence of VAP and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To study the clinical significance of CD4 + CD25+ Foxp3 + regulatory T cell (Treg) and interleukin 10 (IL-10),transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β 1) in patients with steroidresistant asthma (SRA).Methods Seventy-nine patients with asthma were divided into SRA group (31cases) and steroid-sensitive (SSA) group (48 cases).Forty-five healthy subjects were selected simultaneously as control group.CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3 +Treg level was detected by flow cytometry and serum IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The percentage of CD4 + CD25 +Foxp3 +Treg in CD4+ T cell and its absolute value in SRA group and SSA group were 0.0225 ± 0.0063,(1.09 ± 0.23) × 107/L and 0.0345 ± 0.0094,(1.35 ± 0.14) × 107/L,they were significandy lower than those in control group [0.0537 ± 0.0128,(2.06 ± 0.27) × 107/L],and SRA group was significandy lower than SSA group,there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of serum TGF-β1 in SRA group and SSA group were significantly lower than those in control group [(138.12 ± 23.26),(176.25 ± 40.37) ng/L vs.(281.22 ±47.15) ng/L],there was statistical difference (P ＜0.05).The levels of serum IL-10 in SRA group was significantly lower than that in control group [(516.43 ± 86.33)ng/L vs.(763.02 ± 90.19) ng/L],there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference in the level of serum IL-10 between SSA group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of serum IL-10 and TGF-β 1 in SRA group were significantly lower than those in SSA group,there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of serum IL-10 and TGF-β1 had positive correlation with CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 +Treg in SRA group and SSA group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The interaction among CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3 +Treg,IL-10 and TGF-β1 may play an important role in the SRA occurrence and development,while by increasing peripheral blood CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 +Treg number and stabilizing its function can increase IL-10 and TGF-β1 expression,which may be an important way to treat SRA.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between antibiotics use and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter bauman-nii to provide reference for rational antibiotics use. Methods:The DDDs of antibiotics in the inpatients and the drug resistance rate of A. baumannii were analyzed in our hospital from 2010 to 2014. The relationship between the antibiotics use and the antimicrobial re-sistance of A. baumannii was analyzed by SPSS 19. 0. Results:From 2010 to 2014, the total DDDs of antimicrobials in our hospital were decreased year by year in the first three years, while increased significantly in the last two years. The total DDDs of cephalospo-rins always ranked the first and the DDDs of carbapenem were increased year by year. The resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii a-gainst multiple antibacterials was increased in varying degrees in the past five years. In addition to levofloxacin, cefoperazone/sulbac-tam and tigecycline, the resistance rate against the other antibacterials was increased up to 50% in 2014. The resistant rate of A. bau-mannii against ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, cefepime, imipenem and tazobactam/piperacillin presented a positive correlation with the DDDs of cephalosporins and quinolones(P<0. 05). The resistance rate of A. baumannii against cefepime, imipenem tazobactam/pip-eracillin and levofloxacin was also positively correlated with the DDDs of carbapenem(P<0. 05). Conclusion: Antibiotics consump-tion is related to drug resistance of A. baumannii,so it is necessary to strengthen the management of clinical antibiotics use to decrease the multidrug-resistant strains.

Leukoaraiosis (LA) is a group of clinical syndrome caused by multiple etiologies.It belongs to one of the types of cerebral small vessel diseases.Studies have shown that LA usually can lead to different degrees of cognitive impairment.In recent years,with the development of imaging techniques,the studies about correlation between maging findings and cognitive impairment in LA patients and cognitive impairment are increasing gradually and have drawn some new conclusions.And thus,the understanding of the clinical significance of LA has been further deepened.This article mainly reviews the advances in research on the correlation between imaging findings and cognitive impairment in LA patients.
