International Eye Science 2014;(8):1413-1416
High - risk corneal transplantation immunological rejection is a primary factor affecting the success or failure of the corneal transplantation. As a result, application of immunosuppressive agent in high - risk corneal transplantation rejection reaction occupies an irreplaceable position. However, many local and systemic adverse reactions appeared in the process of application. In order to improve the achievement ratio of the corneal transplantation, experts and scholars at home and abroad have obtained remarkable achievements in dosage form, route of administration and drug combination;meanwhile, a considerable progress was also made in genetic engineering. This paper is a review of prevention and treatment on high - risk corneal graft rejection reaction.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of autogenous vein graft as a connector to repair recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN) defect. Methods 20 healthy dogs were randomly devided into 4 groups: group 1(n=6), 2(n=6), 3(n=5) and control group(n=3). Left RLN of dogs in group 1,2,3 were resected for 1,2,3 centimetres respectively and followed by repairment with autogenous vein graft, while RLNS of dogs in control group were resected but not conducted by autogenous vein graft. Six months after operation, the vocal fold movement, phonation and induced action potensial as well as morphologic observation of the aryngeal muslces were studied. Results In group 1, phonation of dogs was all restored to normal. The vocal fold of RLN resected side showed no atrophy symmetrical to the normal side and adducted apparently when phonating. Furthermore thyroarythenoid muscle and posterior cricoarytenoid muscle both could generate induced action potentially. Regenerated nerves in verin graft and distal nerve were observed by light microscope and electron microscope. In group 2,3 and control group hoarseness improved six months after op eration, the vocal fold of RLN resected side was atrophied apparently and fixed paramedianly. Fissure existed in glottis when vocal fold closed, and compensative movement of opposite vocal fold across over the median line was found. Thyoarthenoid muscle and posterior cricoarytenoid muscle unable to generate an action was found. Regenerated nerves were not observed in vein graft or distal nerve by light microscope and electron microscope. Conclusions It is feasible to repair RLN defect in certain length by autogenous vein graft.

The psychiatric problem has become a global public health issue. The model of mental health service advocate that“Treatment of disease occurred in the hospital, but rehabilitation and management in the community”. This brings great challenge to the community health service center. By comparing the domestic and foreign mental health service system, this paper discusses the necessity of carrying out the standardized training of general practitioners in psychiatry and psychology.

Objective To investigate the molecular types and related clinical features of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Jingzhou area, Hubei Province.Methods A total of 80 MRSA strains confirmed by mecA gene were isolated from inpatients in Jingzhou Central Hospital of Hubei province during January and December 2014. Vitek 2 Compact was used for antibiotic susceptibility test . Staphylococcus protein A (SPA) types and Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) genotypes were detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) and gene sequencing . Panton-valentine leucocidin ( pvl) gene of the strains was detected by PCR .Chi-square test and Wilcoxon test were used for data analysis .Results There were 16 spa types in 80 MRSA isolates , in which t030 and t437 were the most prevalent ones accounting for 50.0% ( 40 strains ) and 28.8% ( 23 strains ) of the total strains, respectively.There were 77 strains of SCCmec type Ⅰ-Ⅴ, in which SCCmecⅢ and SCCmecⅣ were the most prevalent ones accounting for 45.0% (36 strains) and 35.0% (28 strains), respectively.t030 was the main spa type in isolates of SCCmecⅢ(33/36, 91.7%), while t437 was the main spa type in isolates of SCCmecⅣ(20/28, 71.4%).Patients infected with t030/SCCmecⅢMRSAs were with higher ages than those infected with t437/SCCmecⅣMRSAs (T=446.500 and 607.500, P<0.01).Patients infected with t030/SCCmecⅢ MRSAs were mainly from surgical wards and intensive care unit ( ICU ) , while those infected with t437/SCCmecⅣ MRSAs were mainly from pediatrics wards , and there were significant differences in ward distribution between two groups (χ2 =33.724 and 29.768, P <0.01).Seventy percent and above strains of t030/SCCmec type Ⅲ were resistant to rifampin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin .Strains of t437/SCCmec type Ⅳwere resistant to erythromycin , clindamycin and tetracycline , but were sensitive to most non-β-lactam antimicrobial drugs (with resistance rates <20%).Virulence gene pvl was found in 11 strains (13.8%), in which 7 were strains of t437-SCCmec typeⅣ.Conclusions MRSAs in Jinzhou are of various genotypes , in which t030-SCCmecⅢand t437-SCCmecⅣare the most prevalent ones .Strains of t030-SCCmec typeⅢare usually multiple-drug resistant , mainly seen in elderly patients in surgical wards and ICU .Strains of t437-SCCmecⅣare sensitive to most non-β-lactam antimicrobial drugs , and its infection is mainly seen in children and young people .

Objective To study the incidence and prognosis of avascular necrosis of femoral head after internal fixation of femoral neck fractures. Methods 137 cases of femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation between January 1993 and December 1999 were evaluated retrospectively. The average age was 49.1 years ( range, 17-77 years ). According to Garden classification, 4 cases were of stageⅠ; 23 of Ⅱ; 71 of Ⅲ; 38 of Ⅳ. One case could not be classified. The mean duration of follow-up was 49.1 months with a range from 14 to 95 months. Results Until January 2001, avascular necrosis of the femoral head was found in 51 cases (37.2%), among them late collapse occurred in 33 cases (24.1%). Avascular changes of the femoral head were found within 5 years after injury in most of the cases. The common clinical findings in the patients with avascular necrosis were: limited motion, limp and pain. Even if segmental collapse developed, about 30% patients had no complaint of pain, but the average Harris score was obviously lower than that of the patients without collapse. Statistical results showed that the related factors influencing the prognosis of avascular necrosis and late collapse were: degree of displacement of the fracture and quality of reduction. The location and extent of necrotic area were markably related to the development of late collapse. Conclusion Follow-up after operation of femoral neck fracture is important, it should be taken at least for 5 years. Close and thoughtful examination is recommended, especially in the 2nd to 3rd year after injury.
