At present, filtration surgery remains an important treatment of glaucoma, and filtering bleb fibrosis is the main cause for treatment failure. Filtering bleb fibrosis is a common fiber hyperplastic disease, and it relates to the activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive production of extracellular matrix ( ECM) such as collagen protein. The most frequently-used drugs for filtering bleb fibrosis in clinic are 5-fluoro-2,4 (1h, 3h) pyrimidinedione ( 5 - Fu ) and mitomycin ( MMC ) . Although they are effective in some degree, they also have some serious side effects which restrict their clinical use. Triptolide ( TPL) is a major active component of the medicinal plant, tripterygium wilfordii hook. f. ( TWHF) . TPL has multiple pharmacological activities including immunosuppressive, anti- inflammatory, anti- cancer and anti-fertility activity. Reviewing related literatures published in recent ten years, we confirmed that TPL seemed to possess a pharmacological activity in treating filtering bleb fibrosis. Since it has three major functions:1. inhibit the activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive production of collagen protein; 2. alleviate the inflammatory reaction after surgical wound to suppress fibrous scar formation; 3. TPL has a protective effect on retinal ganglion cells ( RGCs ) . We further find that TPL's anti-fibrosis activity mainly results from that it inhibits TGF-β/Smad,NF-κB and PI3K/AKT signal transduction pathway. This comprehensive analysis about the feasibility of Triptolide's role in treating filtering bleb fibrosis after the filtration surgery of glaucoma can help us develop new drugs for filtering bleb fibrosis and exploit TPL's clinical value on some level.

To investigate the dynamics of interleukin-21 (IL-21) cytokine in the Chinese HIV patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAAPT).Methods A total of 25 adults with chronic HIV infections,responding to combined highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) guideline criteria were enrolled for a 1-year follow-up.After signing an informed consent,20 mL blood was collected from each patient at the base line,6 month and 12 month,respectively.CD4 and CD8 cell count was quantified by flux cytometry,serum HIV RNA quantified by real time PCR and IL-21 concentrations by ELISA.Results IL-21 levels increased gradually during the follow-up but did not reach the healthy levels.IL-21 correlated positively with the CD4 cells but not with CD8 T cells.HIV RNA correlated negatively with CD4 cell count but did not show any relationship with the CD8 cells.Conclusion IL-21 has potential role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV,and might be an important factor in immune construction during HAART.

CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,stable and reproducible, and can be used for the content determination of Bazhen pill(concentrated pill).

Due to a great amount of data in clinical trials, the data cleansing needs to adopt a variety of measures, including the latest developed visual check approach. According to the different types of clinical data and the different stages in the course of clinical data management, this study reviews 8 types of visual graphics that show the relevance and trend among the data. The series of graphics can rapidly detect abnormal data, monitor clinical research in real-time, make the data management process much easier and improve the clinical trial efficiency and data quality.

Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) instead of the traditional paper case report forms (pCRFs) are increasingly used by investigators and sponsors of clinical research. We include a total of 14 phase III studies (8 pCRF, 6 eCRF) to compare paper and electronic data documentation both quantitatively and qualitatively in clinical studies. The result suggests that adaptions of electronic data capture (EDC) in clinical trials have the advantages in optimization of data capture process, improvement of data quality and earlier clinical decision compared to paper-based methods. Furthermore, the successful implementation of EDC requires accouplements with corresponding data management processes and reallocation of resources.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of fine needle aspiration cytopathology in the diagosis of lymphoma.Methods To compare cytopathology with histopathology of 72 lymphoma cases and analyse immunochemistry stain of 3 cases.Results 61 of 72 cases were diagnosised as lymphoma in cytopathology,while 58 of 61 cases were diagnosised as lymphoma in histopathology.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value rates of cytopathology were 89.2 ％ (58/65),57.1％ (4/7),86.1％ (62/72),95.1％ (58/61),and 36.4 ％ (4/11) respectively.Conclusion Fine needle aspiration cytopathology is significant to the diagnosis of lymphoma.It should greatly improve the accuracy of lymphoma diagnosis and make it possible to subclassify lymphoma,combined cytopathology with other auxilary detection.

Objective To investigate the application effect of evidence-based nursing and individual nurs-ing in pregnancy patients with lupus nephritis. Methods Sixty-five patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group. They were treated with routine care and evidence-based nursing respectively. The complications, pregnancy outcome and satisfaction of patients were compared between the two groups. Results There were not significant difference in renal failure , pregnancy induced hypertension , ecalampsia , heart failure , HELLP syndrome and other complications between observation group and normal group (P > 0.05). The pregnan-cy outcome had no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05). In observation group, the health score was significantly higher than that of control group(P < 0.05). The mental health score in control group was sig-nificantly higher than that of observation group (P < 0.05). There werenot significant difference in social health and overall health score between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The application of evidence-based nursing and individual nursing in pregnancy patients with LN not only reduce the incidence of complications , but also reduce the chance of premature birth, stillbirth. And it could improve the cognition on the nursing work of this disease and the satisfaction of patients. But individual nursing is better in improving the patient′s mental health, while the evidence-based nursing is better in improving the health status.

Objective To evaluate the operative technique, perioperative management and outcomes of bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension. Methods There were 2 cases of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension subject to bilateral sequential lung transplantation with ECMO support (16, 17 years old, respectively). The pulmonary artery pressure was 10/70 and 148/72 mm Hg respectively. The heart function was NYHA Ⅳ, the operative procedure was right lung first, then left lung, and the cold ischemia time was 230 min/430 min and 185 min/300 min respectively. The ECMO support time was 550 min and 450 min respectively. The blood loss during the operation was 3000 and 1200 ml, respectively. Resuits The ECMO was withdrawn 16 and 13 h postoperation respectively. There was unstable hemadynamics and acute left heart failure on the 3rd and 4th day after the operation. The patients were treated with ventilate support and tracheotomy on 3rd and 6th day respectively. Additionally, the patients were given cardiotonic, dieresis and the ventilation was withdrawn on 33rd and 12th day after the operation respectively. They were discharged from the hospital on 93rd and 32nd day after the operation. The heart function both reached NYHA I, two cases were followed up for 25 and 10 months respectively.Both of them had an excellent quality life. Conclusion Bilateral lung transplantation is effective for end-stage idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension even with slight right ventricular dysfunction with satisfactory short-term outcome. A limited operative time, an ECMO support for heart and lung during the peri-operative period and a perfect management for the left ventricular dysfunction after surgery are key roles for the success. Closed follow-up and surveillance are needed for long-term outcomes.
