Objective To observe the clinical features and outcomes of vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy (DR) with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods A total of 192 patients (241 eyes) with proliferative DR (PDR) who underwent vitrectomy were enrolled in this study.All the patients were diagnosed as vitreous hemorrhage (VH) because of suddenly decreased vision.There were 93 eyes with tractional retinal detachment (TRD) and six eyes with neovascularization of iris (NVI).The patients were divided into PDR with CRVO group (group A,41 eyes) and PDR group (group B,200 eyes) according to the results of fundus examination.All patients received vitrectomy with silicone oil and C3F8 gas tamponade.There were 138 eyes with silicone oil tamponade which including 30 eyes in group A and 108 eyes in group B.The difference of number in silicone oil-filled eyes in two groups was statistically significant (x2=5.110,P＜0.05).There were 38 eyes with C3F8 gas tamponade which including six eyes in group A and 32 eyes in group B.There was no difference in C3F8 gas-filled eyes numbers in two groups (x2 =0.048,P＞0.05).The follow-up ranged from one to 60 months,with the mean of (28.69± 17.28) months.The corrected vision,retinal reattachment,persisting macular edema (ME),neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and repeated VH after surgery were comparatively analyzed.Results Of 241 eyes,there were 41 eyes (17.0％) with CRVO.Before surgery,the differences of corrected vision (Z=-0.138),intraocular pressure (t=0.966),whether there was TRDor not (x2=0.412),whether underwent panretinal photocoagulation or not (x2 =1.416) were not statistically significant (P＞0.05),but the difference of whether NVI were present or not was statistically significant (x2=31.724,P＜0.05)between two groups.After surgery,the corrected vision improved in both two groups (Z=2.319,4.589;P＜0.05).There was no difference of corrected vision after surgery between two groups (Z=0.782,P＞0.05).Postoperative complications occurred in 94 eyes,including 26 eyes in group A and 68 eyes in group B.The differences of incidence of reoperation (x2 =0.498),retinal reattachment (x2 =0.818),persisting ME (x2 =2.722) between two groups after surgery were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of repeated VH (x2 =5.737) and NVG (x2 =6.604) in group A were higher than those in group B (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions CRVO is commonly found to coexist with DR in T2DM patients with VH.Combined with CRVO patients are more likely to suffer NVI.Vitrectomy can improve the visual function in PDR with CRVO patients.

AIM:To observed the variation regularity of corneal endothelial cells in patients with different diabetes duration after phacoemulsification, and investigate the effects of diabetes and its disease duration on corneal endothelial cells.
METHODS: Ninety-seven ( 135 eyes ) cataract patients with diabetes were selected randomly and divided into GroupⅠ( which diabetes duration ≥10a) and GroupII(which diabetes duration <10a) according to their disease duration. Additionally 62 (89 eyes) age-related cataract patients were randomly selected as the control group. The corneal endothelial cell density ( CD ) , proportion of hexagonal cell and coefficient of variation ( CV ) in the three group patients were measured respectively before phacoemulsification and after surgery. And the measurement results were statistically analyzed.
RESULTS:The corneal endothelial CD and proportion of hexagonal cell in the three group were decreased after surgery compared with preoperative. But the CV of corneal endothelial cells was increased on the 1 st wk and in 1st mo after surgery compared with the preoperative. The difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The corneal endothelial CD and proportion of hexagonal cell in the two diabetic groups were lower than the control group after surgery. However, the CV of corneal endothelial cells was higher than the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ) . There was no significant difference in the corneal endothelial CD, proportion of hexagonal cell and CV between the two diabetic groups before phacoemulsification (P>0. 05). The proportion of hexagonal cell in Group Ⅰ was lower than which in GroupIIafter surgery. While the CV was higher than which in Group II. The difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification has some damage on the corneal endothelial. Since the impact of diabetes on the morphology and function of corneal endothelial cell was related to the diabetic duration. So phacoemulsification has more obvious damage on the corneal endothelial in diabetic patients. And the diabetic duration was longer, the damage on the corneal endothelial in phacoemulsification was more easily.

Objective To study the adjuvant effects of chitosan on Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) vaccine.Methods A total of 20 adult mice were randomly divided into four groups.Mice in groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, and Ⅳ were orally immunized with PBS,H.pylori antigen alone,H.pylori antigen plus chitosan solution or H. pylori antigen plus chitosan particles,respectively.An ELISA was used to detect anti-H.pylori IgA in saliva and gastric mucosa ,interlukin(IL)-2,IL-4,IL-10 levels in gastric mucosa.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect secretory IgA in gastric mucosa.Results ①The levels of special anti-H.pylori IgA in saliva and gastric mucosa in the groups with chitosan as adjuvant were significantly higher than those in the group without adjuvants and control groups(P

Objective To observe the effect of intra-articular injection of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)on the experimental osteoarthritis in rabbits and study the mechanism.Methods Forty rabbits un derwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)and then divided into two groups randomly. 100?mol/L DHEA resolved in the dimethylsulphoxide were injected into the knees of experimental rabbits 4 weeks after transection,once a week for five weeks.Rabbits in the control group were treated under the same schedule using dimethylsulphoxide.All rabbits were killed 9 weeks after ACLT and the knee joints were evalu- ated by gross morphology and histology.The mRNA expression of metalloproteinases-3(MMP-3),tissue in- hibitor of metalloproteinases-1(TIMP-1)and interleukin-lbeta(IL-1?)in the cartilage and synovium was analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Gross morphologic in- spection and histological evaluation showed that the extent and grade of cartilage and synovium damage in the experimental group were less severe than the control group.The mRNA expression of MMP-3 in cartilage and synovium decreased significantly in the experimental group(both P＜0.05).The mRNA expression of TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium increased significantly in the experimental group compared with that in the control group(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of IL-1?mRNA expression in cartilage was found between the experimental and the control groups(P＞0.05).The mRNA expression of IL-1?in the synovium was signifi- cantly suppressed in the experimental group compared with that in the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion DHEA protects against cartilage degradation,alleviates synovium inflammation and inhibits the progression of osteoarthritis in the experimental model.Down-regulation of MMP-3 and up-regulation of TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium and IL-1?in the synovium may be the mechanism of the protective effect of DHEA on os- teoarthritis.

Objective:To learn the effect of personality in the course of cognitive decline.Methods:106 aged people from two districts were selected randomly.Arithmetic,digit span,picture filling,block patterns,digit symbol,visual attention span,spatial reasoning were used to learn the cognitive ability,“Kartaier's 16 personality factors test”were used to explore the personality of aged people.Results:16 personality factors test shows that old people are more deferential and self-assured.The relation between reasoning and arithmetic,rule-consciousness and arithmetic,abstractedness and digit span,reasoning and block design,dominance and digit symbol,sensitivity and special reasoning,apprehension and visual attention span,openness to change and visual attention span reach the statistical significance.Conclusion:Age is the most important reason to the cognitive impairment in aged people, education can prevent the cognitive impairment in a large degree.Personality can affect the cognitive ability although different personality factor affect different cognitive fields.

?AIM: To observed the clinical effect of twice fluid-gas exchange in vitrectomy for retinal detachment at the equator.?METHODS: The retrospective analysis of the 74 cases (74 eyes) with retinal detachment at the equator from January 2014 to September 2015 were reviewed. All these patients were performed standard three channel 23G vitrectomy under a wide angle lens, in which, the 37 cases ( 37 eyes ) were randomly selected and performed single fluid-gas exchange, and the other 37 cases ( 37 eyes) were performed twice fluid-gas exchange. The intraoperative surgical complications and the postoperative success rate of retinal reposition in 1wk, 1, 3mo after surgery of the two group patients were observed.? RESULTS: The intraoperative surgical complication rates of the twice fluid-gas exchange group were less than that of the single fluid-gas exchange group. The postoperative success rate of retinal reposition in the twice fluid-gas exchange group significantly increased in 1wk and 1mo after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). But the postoperative success rate of retinal reposition in 3mo after surgery had no significant difference (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSION:The twice fluid-gas exchange operation was simple and it was beneficial for beginners to master. The incomplete drainage of the single fluid-gas exchange and the pore drainage in the posterior pole or in the peripheral part of the retina were avoided during the surgery. The intraoperative surgical complication rates were reduced and the postoperative success rate of retinal reposition were improved. This operation method had great application value in clinic.

To describe a modified simple iris suture for pupillary dilation technique during vitrectomy in cases with a miotic pupil.Four translimbal incisions were created with a sharp straight blade at 1:30,10:30,4:30,and 7:30 o'clock,respectively.The straight needle of 10-0 polypropylene suture and a Sinskey IOL hook was used to displace the pupillary margin toward the limbus.In 3 cases,four sutures caused a 6-mm to 9-mm square-shaped pupil,and the pupil was allowed to return to a smaller size at the end of the operation.It is simple and may reduce postoperative complications.
