AIM:To observe and analyze visual quality changes of the patients with posterior capsule opacification ( PCO ) Nd:YAG laser posterior capsular dissection, including the change of the best corrected vision acuity ( BCVA ) , total high- order aberration ( tHOA ) , and the modulation transfer function ( MTF) .
METHODS:In this prospective observational study, 100 cases of patients ( 100 eyes ) with posterior cataract underwent Nd:YAG laser posterior capsular dissection ( posterior capsular diameter dissected was 5mm or higher). The mean age was 65. 52±7. 01 years old. The change of the BCVA was collected. The tHOA and MTF under the 3mm and 5mm pupil diameter were assessed by iTrace respectively before and after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsular dissection.
RESULTS:All the surgery went well without obvious intraoperative and postoperative complications happened. The preoperative BCVA was 0. 451 ± 0. 023 while the postoperative BCVA was 0. 763±0. 025. The difference of BCVA before and after Nd: YAG laser surgery was statistically significant (P<0. 01). At 3mm pupil diameter, the tHOA preoperative was 0. 551 ± 0. 031 while the postoperative tHOA was 0. 214± 0. 011, the differences were significance (P<0. 05). At 3mm pupil diameter while the spatial frequencies ( 5cpd, 10cpd, 15cpd, 20cpd, 25cpd, 30cpd ) respectively, the MTF tHOA value postoperative (0. 644±0. 023, 0. 49±0. 011, 0. 311±0. 015, 0.202±0. 018, 0. 056±0. 027, 0. 041±0. 011) were significantly higher than that preoperative (0. 401±0. 021, 0. 261±0. 026, 0. 179±0. 012, 0. 108±0. 014, 0. 031±0. 016, 0. 022±0. 021), and the difference has statistical significance (P<0. 05). At 5mm pupil diameter, the tHOA preoperative was 0. 752±0.028 while the postoperative tHOA was 0. 361±0. 014, the differences were significance (P<0. 01). At 5mm pupil diameter while the spatial frequencies ( 5cpd, 10cpd, 15cpd, 20cpd, 25cpd, 30cpd) respectively the MTF tHOA value postoperative (0. 426±0. 027, 0. 209±0. 018, 0. 172±0. 013, 0. 116±0. 015, 0. 049±0. 010, 0. 034±0. 014 ) were significantly higher than that preoperative (0. 234±0. 021, 0. 102±0. 019, 0. 088±0. 016, 0. 058±0. 022, 0. 021±0. 014, 0.016 ± 0. 011 ), and the difference had statistical significance (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Patients with posterior capsule opacification ( PCO ) Nd:YAG laser posterior capsular dissection can help improve BCVA, reduce tHOA, increase MTF tHOA values, and significantly improve visual quality of patients.

[Objective] To study the methods of inducing bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)of rabbits into chondrocytes in vitro and the interaction of transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1),insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ)and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF).[Methods]BMSCs of rabbits were primarily cultured and subcultured in vitro,and then divided into four groups according to the difference of factors:group A receiving TGF-?1 and bFGF;group B receiving TGF-?1 and IGF-Ⅰ;group C receiving TGF-?1;group D receiving no cell growth factor.After three weeks all the four groups were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay,measurement of glycosaminoglycan(GAG)and immunohistochemistry.[Results]Immunohistochemical detection of collagen Ⅱ was positive in groups A,B and C.The results of the MTT assay and the GAG content in groups A and B were obviously higher than those in groups C and D.[Conclusion]Rabbit BMSCs can be induced into chondrocytes under certain conditions.TGF-?1,IGF-Ⅰ and bFGF have synergy effect in the differentiation from BMSCs into chondrocytes.

Objective:To summarize the ultrasound features of renal arteriovenous fistula(RAVF)under various ultrasound imaging modes,so as to avoid missed diagnosis of RAVF on initial ultrasound examination.Methods:The clinical data of 6 patients with RAVF,including the ultrasound evidence,the timing of ultrasound diagnosis,the modes of ultrasound diagnosis, and the agreement between ultrasound diagnosis and selective renal arterial angiography,were retrospectively analyzed.Results: 2D ultrasound had 1 case of correct diagnosis,1 case of misdiagnosis and 4 cases of missed diagnosis.Color Doppler and spectral Doppler both had all the 6 cases correctly diagnosed.Ultrasound angiography in 3 cases demonstrated that the contrast agent reached the renal veins earlier than reached the renal parenchyma;large fistula lumen was associated with ischemia of downstream areas.3D ultrasound vividly reflected the structure of fistula lumen volume,and provided us with the profiles of blood signal in fistula at different planes and angles,improving our knowledge of blood flow on the fistula.Conclusion: Ultrasound is the first line screening method for RAVF.Color Doppler plays a decisive role in the diagnosis of RAVF and pulsed spectral Doppler plays a synergetic role and contributes to differential diagnosis.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound may help to discover the abnormality of venous circulation and the ischemic parenehyma area due to shunting.2D ultrasound has a poor diagnostic value and is liable to lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods We collected the data of 618 patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2011 to June 2012. All selected patients underwent coronary angiography and stent implantation, and were divided into two groups according to the average size of NLR. The relationship between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and coronary heart disease in-stent restenosis was investigated. Results There were statistically significant differences in the presence of diabetes, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, the percentage of neutrophils and lymphocytes in patients between two groups (P<0.05) . We found 13 patients (4.2%) and 32 patients (10.4%) with in-stent restenosis in the first group and the second group, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.01) . Conclusion Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is correlated with ISR,and has clinical value in predicting ISR.

The 3T road map proposed by Dougherty and Conway views translational research as a continuous process that moves from basic research through clinical (T1),postclinical (T2),and practice-based research and ultimately to health policies,outcomes,and impacts (T3).It can be used as a fundamental framework for evaluating and measuring translational research.The citation networks between publications may reveal translational interfaces,translational path,and translational lag in a specific research field,which can help researchers understand the critical content and road maps during their translational research,and thus accelerate translational medicine during T1,T2,and T3 phases of translational research.Based on the citation networks,we built a two-dimensional model for measuring the process of translational research.

Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience of the pancreatic fistula secondary to abdominal operations.Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with pancreatic fistula due to abdominal operations were analyzed retrospectively.Results 25 patients were diagnosed by the amylase concentration of the drainage fluid and 2 patients were diagnosed by the percutaneous puncture fluid amylase concentration.Four patients underwent percutaneous puncture drainage by BS-guide.Five patients underwent re.operation drainage.Enteral feeding,total parenteral nutrition,total parenteral plus oral nutrition were applied to 15,6 and 6 patients,respectively.Altogether 3 patients died,all of these patients were in the total parenteral nutrition group.13 cases were discharged with draining tubes,including 2 patients who developed Dseudocyst and received surgical treatment,and the others 1 1 patients were discharged with tubes for(9.0±3.2)months.The mean hospital stays for oral feeding,jejunum tube nutrition and total parenteral nutrition groups were(36.3±10.2)d,(57.6±17.3)d and(63.3±33.4)d,respectively;and difference was statistically significant(F=3.49,P=0.049).The mean hospital stays for patients with or without somatostatin treatment were(53.5±20.3)d and(51.5 ±21.0)d,and difference was not statistically significant(t=0.207,P=0.838).Conclusions hereasingthe understanding ofpancreaticfistula,adequate drainage and rational nutrition phyed a key role in impmving the treatment effects of pancreatic fistula.

Objective To observe the influence of hIL-10-MSCs on apoptosis of rats subject to discordant liver xenotransplantation. Methods The model of guinea pig to rat discordant liver xenotransplantation was set up. The orthotopic liver transplantation model was established by using modified two-cuff technique. Following groups were designed: control group, MSCs group and hIL-10MSCs group. Before and after operation, the recipients in control group were injected with normal sodium (2 ml) and decaesadril (0.5 ml) ;Those in MSCs group were injected with MSCs (4.0× 106/ml)and decaesadril (0.5 ml); Those in hIL-10-MSCs group were injected with hIL-10-MSCs (4.0 × 106/ ml)and decaesadril (0.5 ml). Twelve h after operation, the livers of recipient were observed by HE staining and electron microscope, and apoptosis of the livers was detected by using TUNEL. The expression levels of hIL-10, caspase-3, Fas and FasL were assayed by Western blot or immunohistochemistry. Results As compared with control group and MSCs group, the pathological changes was alleviated, the expression of IL-10 was significantly increased, the expression of FasL was significantly reduced in hIL-10-MSCs group. The positive area size of Fas and Caspase-3 in hIL-10MSCs group was 11.5 % and 25.1 %, respectively, significantly smaller than those in control group (35.3 % and 70.8 % respectively, P＜0.05. Apoptosis index in hIL-10-MSCs group was 32.5 %,which was significantly lower than in control group (74.1%) and MSCs group (50. 3 % ). ConclusionhIL-10-MSCs can notably decrease apoptosis of the transplanted liver probably by inhibiting theexpression of Fas/FasL.
