Objective To investigate the surgery opportunity choice of congenital esotropia.Methods A retrospective research was taken using the clinical data and the results of the treatment of 146 inpatients with congenital esotropia in our department from Mar 2012 to Mar 2015.The correction rate,lackingcorrection rate,and over-correction rate were compared between early surgery group and late surgery group on time of 1 week after surgery and 6 months after surgery,respectively.Results In all the 146 patients,88 (60.3%) had an esotropia deviation greater than or equal to 40 pupil distance (PD),38 (26.0%) combined with amblyopia,12 (8.2%) combined with nystagmus,30 (20.5%) combined with inferior oblique muscle overaction,6 (4.1%) combined with dissociated vertical divergence (DVD).There was no significant difference between early surgery group and late surgery group on correction rate,lacking-correction rate,and over-correction rate on the time of 1 week after surgery and 6 months after surgery,respectively.Conclusions Congenital strabismus should take surgery at the early-stage,especially for those have large angles.It is better to be operated before 2-year old for a better formation and recovery of binocular visual function.

Objective To reasonably provide data basis of the expense standard for diagnosis related groups(DRGs)of respiratory system disease.Methods Use the first-page data of the medical records of 19,285 respiratory inpatients of a hospital.Use the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector in the decision tree model to establish the inpatient case mix plan of respiratory disease inpatients.Then evaluate the model effectiveness with the variance reduction Results Expense median of the respiratory disease inpatients is 1603.97 yuan,averaging 2806.03 yuan,and the discretion degree is high.Proportion of surgical operations in respiratory disease is 3.89%,less than the others.Age is an important factor of respiratory disease for their hospitalization costs.Classification nodes of respiratory diseases are in turn the first discharge diagnosis,age,and secondary diagnosis.Patients were divided into 5 categories and 29 disease diagnosis related groups by such nodes.Conclusion Appropriate discharge diagnosis is the basis for building diagnosis related groups.Such variables as disease severity related variables as age and secondary diagnosis should serve as classification variables for respiratory system diseases.

【Objective】To observe the dynamic interference of cellular endotoxin specific receptors of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) mRNA and nuclear factor ?B p65(NF-?B p65) in rats with damp-heat syndrome of seasonal febrile disease by Ganlu Xiaodu Dan(GXD),and to explore the therapeutic mechanism of prescriptions with the actions of clearing heat and resolving dampness.【Methods】Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: A(normal control),B(models established by feeding of high-fat diet and colon bacillus under the high-temperature and high-humidity condition),and C(rat models treated with GXD).Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) analysis was used to detect the TLR4 mRNA level in hepatic macrophages and immunohistochemical method was used to detect the activation of NF-?B p65.【Results】The expression of TLR4 mRNA and NF-?B p65 was increased gradually in group B 6,12 and 24 hours after infection with colon bacillus,and the differences were significant,indicating that the expression of TLR4 mRNA and NF-?B p65 increased with the prolongation of disease course.In group C,TLR4 mRNA expression was decreased in different time points after infection,the difference of TLR4 mRNA expression 12 and 24 hours after infection was significant as compared with group B and group A(P

Salinity is the main limitation factor for plant growth and crop production.Many approaches to enhance plant resistance to salinity by genetic engineering have been developed.Over-expressions of salt-tolerance related genes encoding proteins involved in signal transduction pathways,ion channels and compatible solutes synthesis for the stabilization of biological structures under salinity stress are the most often used strategies.The recent progresses in genetic engineering to improve salt tolerance in plants and the possible problems in researches was reviewed.

Objective To study the supporting role of traditional Chinese medicine GanFuAn in the treatment of high-risk state of liver cancer by color Doppler ultrasound.Methods Based on a number of joint detection of tumor markers,85 patients of liver cancer were selected from patients with chronic hepatitis B.Among these 85patients,50 patients were selected in a treatment group and treated with Chinese herbal preparation GanFuAn,with ultrasound and tumor markers serving as joint monitoring; while the other 35 patients were selected in a control group and treated with conventional treatment.Results In the treatment group,the liver tumor markers or liver tumor continually diminished.5 cases showed tumor disappear.38 cases showed effective results,while 7 cases showed no effects.The total incidence rate of liver cancer was 14%;while in the control group,none case showed tumor disappear.20 cases showed effects and 15 cases showed none effects.The cumulative incidence rate of liver cancer induced by chronic hepatitis was 43%,with all the cases have been confirmed by pathology.Conclusion Color doppler ultrasound was an intuitive,non-invasive dynamic method to monitor liver tumor's growth and decline.

?AlM:To observe the eye complications in the cases of acute chlorine gas poisoning.
?METHODS:A retrospective review of 121 cases of acute chlorine gas poising with eye irritation, dry eye and other eye complications in Linyi People’s Hospital from February 2009 to February 2013 was performed.
?RESULTS: Among 121 patients, 117 cases ( about 96. 7%) had complications of eye irritation and conjunctival and corneal epithelial damage, and the ocular surface damage was aggravated with the increasing level of chlorine gas poisoning. After 3, 6mo being discharged, 32 and 7 patients respectively occurred dry eye among 115 patients followed up. One mild chlorine poisoning patient, during the hormonotherapy of pulmonary complication, complicated with bullous retinal detachment, of which symptoms and physical signs had been improved after stopping hormonotherapy and adding drugs facilitating fluid absorption. One severe chlorine poisoning patient with loss of consciousness during the treatment, had corneal ulcer and after ulcer being healed with drug and conjunctival flap covering surgery, was left permanent leukoma cornea.
?CONCLUSlON: Acute chlorine poisoning can cause corneal and conjunctival epithelial damage and dry eye. Ocular complications like bullous retinal detachment associated with hormone application should be paid more attention to in the hormonotherapy. For some patients with severe poisoning, the therapy of corneal and conjunctival epitheliums should be taken seriously in case of irreparable damage in rescuing patient’s life.

T cell immune receptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), a promising new target in cancer immunotherapy, plays a critical role in limiting adaptive and innate immunity against tumors. The extracellular domain of human TIGIT was used to immune BALB/c mice, and a new anti-human TIGIT chimeric antibody (c7D3) was developed. The mice in this study were used in accordance with the international guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals, and the animal study was approved by the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee of AbMax Biotechnology. The biological activity of c7D3 was studied. The results showed that c7D3 exhibited high affinity for TIGIT and effectively inhibited the interaction between TIGIT and its ligands. Cell-based assays indicated that c7D3 induced strong luciferase signaling in TIGIT/CD155 signaling reporter assay and enhanced cytokine secretion in a T cell stimulation assay. The data showed that c7D3 has high binding affinity and excellent blocking bioactivity, supporting the further advancement for therapeutic application.
