Neovascular glaucoma ( NVG ) is a kind of intractable eye disease with complex etiology, strong destruction and poor effect on treatment. Extensive retinal ischemia and hypoxia is the main etiology, and the key of treatment is early diagnosis, active prevention and taking effective measures to prevent the production of vascular endothelial growth factor. According to the related literature over recent years, the authors will discuss pros and cons for medical, surgical and combined treatment in this review.

Objective To investigate the treatment of complex fractures of distal femur with open reduction and internal fixation with anatomical plate. Methods From January 2001 to June 2004, 67 cases of complex fractures of distal femur were treated with open reduction and anatomical plate internal fixation. The allogeneic bone was grafted for 23 cases, ilium was grafted for 35 cases, ilium and fibula were grafted for 9 cases. Bio- resorbable membranes were used between quadriceps femoris and femur. 13 cases were aided with patella traction. All the patients received fumigation and rinsing with Chinese herbs and CPM(continuous passive motion) after operation. Results All the 67 cases were followed up for 10 to 26 months. All the fractures got united. The postoperative knee functions were excellent in 36 cases, good in 23 cases, fair in 5 cases, and poor in 3 cases according to Kolment standards. The excellent and good rate was 88.1% . Conclusions Open reduction, internal fixation with anatomical plate, bone grafting, local use of bio- resorbable membranes, patella traction when necessary, fumigation and rinsing with Chinese herbs and CPM after operation are good measures to treat complex fractures of the distal femur, because they can provide stable fixation, allow early postoperative functional training, and prevent adhesion of quadriceps femoris and stiffness of the knee joint

Objective To study the clinical features,pathological characteristics and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma(RCC)in young adults,and to improve the recognition of RCC in young population. Methods The data of 35 young patients with RCC under the age of 35 years from August 1983 to June 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 22 males and 13 females with a mean age of 31 years(age range, 19-35 years).The clinical presentations were as follows:painless hematuria in 12 cases(34%),low back pain in 12(34%),abdominal mass in 2(6%),fever in 3 and Stauffer syndrome in 1.The tumor size was 1.2-13.8 cm in diameter(mean,6.0cm).AJCC staging showed stage I tumor in 8 cases,stageⅡin 4, stageⅢin 18 and stageⅣin 5.Of the 35 cases,28 underwent radical nephrectomy(including simultaneous extraction of the vena cava emboli in 3 cases and extraction with pulmonary lobectomy in 1);5 cases under- went partial nephrectomy;and 2 cases lost the chance of operation(1 of them had biopsy).Results The operations were successful.The postoperative pathologic diagnoses consisted of clear cell carcinoma in 23 ca- ses,mixed cell carcinoma in 5,papillary cell carcinoma in 2,and chromophobe cell carcinoma in 2,low-dif- ferentiated and undifferentiated cell carcinoma each in 1.Of them,26 cases were followed for 12-148 months(mean,56 months).Postoperative 3-and 5-year survival rates were 65% and 50%,respectively. Conclnsions In young population,RCC is difficult to diagnose because of occult symptoms at early stage and lack of tumor specificity,which leads to relatively late clinical staging at diagnosis.RCC is characterized by higher malignancy,easy invasion to surrounding tissues and metastasis,and thus poor prognosis.

Objective To compare the effect of ultrafiltration method and activated carbon absorbance method on aconitine-type alkaloid (AA) content in the preparation of Yiqi Huiyang Injection (YHJ) and to evaluate the safety of YHJ by limited detrmination of diester alkaloids (DEA).Methods Acid dye colorimetry was used to detect AA content and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was applied to determine the limited content of DEA. Mesaconitine, aconitine, hypaconitine were separated on a Hypersil BDS-C?18?column, with methanol and 0.05% triethylamine (70∶30) as mobile phase, wavelength at 240 nm and external standard for quantitative analysis.Results Compared with activated carbon absorbance method, the loss of AA was reduced, limited content of aconitine was within the pharmacopoeia standard method and the other two kinds of DEA were also low in YHJ prepared by ultrafiltration method.Conclusion Ultrafiltration was superior to activated carbon absorbance in the preparation of YHJ as with AA as the parameter, and the contents of DEA were very low which indicates that the toxicity of YHJ may be also low.

Objective To observe changes of cognitive function and the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),interleukin 10(IL-10) in hippocampus of diabetic rats,and assess the role of inflammation in the possible pathogenesis of diabetic encephalopathy (DE).Methods 30 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and diabetes mellitus group.After 4 weeks of feeding high fat diet,diabetes mellitus group according to 30mg/kg injected with streptozotocin to establish type 2 diabetic rat model.At the end of the experiment,cognition were evaluated using water maze test.The concentration of beta-amyloid(Aβ) in hippocampus of diabetic rats were detected through enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,and the expression of TNF-α,IL-10 were detected by Western blotting.The expression of Aβ,TNF-α,IL-10 were observed through immunohistochemistry.Results Time spent in the target quadrant in diabetes mellitus group was shorter than that in control group ((38.21± 3.68)s vs (42.10±2.62)s,t=3.105,P<0.01).The frequency of crossing original platform site was less than that in control group((2.62±0.77) vs(3.69±0.95),t=3.184,P<0.01).Compared with control group the expression of Aβ,TNF-α were higher(BothP<0.01),and IL-10 were lower(P<0.01)in diabetes mellitus group.The positive expression of Aβ,TNF-α were obviously and IL-10 were less obviously observed in diabetes mellitus group according to immunohistochemistry.Conclusion The cognitive decline in diabetic rats is possibly related to inflammatory cytokines expressing out of balance.
