1."Relationship between diabetic retinopathy ""metabolic memory"" and oxidative stress"
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2017;33(3):327-330
Metabolic memory means if the hyperglycemia can't be controlled at early stage of diabetes,chronic complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) will continue to develop even if the blood glucose level maintains normal level at later stage.Oxidative stress plays an important role in the metabolic memory of DR,which interacts with the nitrative stress,advanced glycation end products,genetic modification and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the pathogenesis of DR.Further elucidation of the relationship between oxidative stress and metabolic memory of DR can open the way for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets to prevent DR progression.
2.Recent advances on treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2012;21(5):312-314
Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare malignancy with peculiar clinical and biologic features,aggressive course,and unsatisfactory outcome.the particular microenvironment of this malignancy,and sanctuary sites where tumor cells grow undisturbed, strongly affects treatment efficacy. The execution of prospective trials is also difficult because of the rarity of the tumor and the impaired general condition and poor performance status of patients. Chemotherapy is indispensable for the treatment of PCNSL. High-dose methotrexate is the most effctive drug.PCNSL is sensitive to irradiation,but responses to radiotherapy alone are short-lived. MTX-based chemotherapy followed by whole-brain radiotherapy prolonged survival but is associated with delayed neurotoxicity especially in patients older than 60 years. A new approach is attempted to treat PCNSL with chemotherapy alone with defered radiotherapy in old patients with similar survival rencenfly. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation HDC/ASCT yielded promising results for recurent PCNSL.Clinical investigation with Temozolomide or rituximab have been reported.Further studies with these new drugs are needed.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of water jet debridement combined with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for the treatment of early infection after fracture internal fixation.Methods The study cohort included 6 men and one woman with an average age of 43.6 years (range,from 36 to 58 years) who had presented with early infection after fracture internal fixation from October 2013 to March 2015.All the patients sustained closed fractures initially.The wound debridement was done within 3 to 5 days after the infection was confirmed.The length and depth of an incision was determined by the methylene staining range.Water jet was used to eliminate the dying tissues thoroughly from a shallower layer to a deeper layer while the internal fixator was retained.The wound was closed by full thickness sutures in a sparse fashion for drainage.Sensitive antibiotics were systematically administered for all the patients.The NPWT device was kept for 5 days.Results All the wounds healed uneventfully after an average of 18 days (range,from 10 to 25 days).The mean follow-up time was 12 months (range,from 8 to 24 months).No antibiotics were used during follow-up.There were no local or systematical symptoms like new sinus,broken wound or fever.Bony callus formed at the fracture sites after an average of 4.3 months (range,from 2.5 to 8.0 months) and no fracture nonunion happened.All the fractures healed after an average of 10.1 months (range,from 5.5 to 16.0 months).All the patients were satisfied with their treatment outcomes.Conclusion Since water jet provides simple,rapid and radical debridement while NPWT simplifies operative procedures and promotes wound healing,combination of the two can be an effective treatment for early infection after fracture internal fixation.

Objective To investigate whether BNP(brain natriuretic peptide) could be relatively objective index for comprehensive risk stratification of exercise rehabilitation nursing in young and middle myocardial infarction patients. Methods BNP concentration and LVEF were measured respctively in young and middle myocardial infarction patients. Then the risk stratification was administrated based these index respectively and Barther Scores and significant statistical differences were calculated according to homogeneity test for variance. Results Blood BNP concentrations in acute phase among the divided group based on EF risk stratification were significant difference,hence the standard deviation is large,which led to variance nonhomogeneity,and stracification difference between groups is not clear and across-talking. Exercise rehabilitation nursing scores based on echocardiography EF value had significant difference even veariance is nonhomogeneity,hence the differ-ence is not clear beween groups.Exercise rehabilitation nursing scores based on BNP was administrated and significance is clear beween groups. Conclusions BNP concentration and LVEF value had certain relationship and cross-talking among them.Risk stratification based on BNP concentration had objective instructions for exercise rehabili tation nursing in actue infarction myocardial pa-tients.

Objective To assess the efficacy of clinical intervention of early swallowing syndrome on neonates. Methods Eighty-six cases of normal newborns were enrolled in the study, including 44 cases of natural delivery,32 cases of cesarean section,8 cases of premature infant. The cases started vomitting before feeding the milk, became more severe after feeding the milk. once the pathological factors were excluded, the cases were treated with breastfeeding, warm water enema, massaging the lower abdomen, 1% sodium bicarbonate solution to the gastric lavage. Results A variety of clinical interventions on the control of neonatal swallowing syndrome results are obvious. Conclusions Early detection early intervention can prevent complications occurring.

Denture stomatitis is one of the most common problems appearing after patients wearing removable dentures,which appears more frequently in maxillary complete dentures. The clinical symptom is that the mucosa of the stress-bearing area of denture base broadly gets red,and forms the boundary diffusion erythema. Sometimes when the surface of denture base and the mucosa of stress-bearing area are not close well,some granules will be found at the surface of the erythema. With the world's gradually stepping into the aging society,the number of people who have to wear removable dentures is increasing,because dentition defect or edentulous affected by any reasons. As a result,how to solve the secondary disease such as denture stomatitis is becoming a hot spot which more and more researchers concern about. This paper summaries the development of prevention of denture stomatitis in prosthetic area via selection of base materials,manufacture of denture,sterilization of denture,and improvement of base.

Objective:To investigate the effects of LPS on the IL-6 expression in osteoblasts.Methods:Rat calvarial osteoblasts were primarily cultured. LPS from Escherichia coli with different concentration were administrated. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to identify the IL-6 mRNA expression of the cells. The intensities of electrophoresis bands were measured. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect IL-6 protein production. The data were analyzed with SPSS 10.0 software package.Results:E. coli LPS with concentrations of 1?10-5 g/L-1?10-3 g/L induced IL-6 mRNA and IL-6 protein expression in osteoblasts. Statistically significant differences were detected at concentrations 1?10-4,1?10-3 g/L E.coli LPS.Conclusion:LPS can increase the expression of IL-6 in osteoblasts in the gene and protein levels. IL-6 may play an important role in the alveolar bone metabolism.
