AIM: To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of improved extra panretinal photocoagulation ( E - PRP) in the treatment of high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (hsPDR).
METHODS: A total of 88 consecutive cases (102 eyes) with hsPDR were diagnosed by fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) from February 2011 to December 2014 in our hospital . Fifty two eyes had been treated by improved E - PRP with 532nm frequency - doubled laser. Fifty eyes had been treated by standard PRP. All cases were checked by FFA and fundus photocoagulation every 3mo. Patients with persisting neovascularization or non perfusion area were treated with laser again. All cases were followed up 6-36mo.
RESULTS: The postoperative visual acuity had no statistical difference between two groups ( P > 0. 05). In improved E - PRP group, retinal non perfusion area and neovascularization disappeared in 35 eyes ( 67%). Effective rate was 88%. Six eyes (12%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy because of vitreous hemorrhage, fiberosis and stretched retinal detachment. In standard PRP group, retinal nonperfusion area and neovascularization disappeared in 23 eyes ( 46%). Effective rate was 66%. Seventeen eyes(34%) underwent pars plana vitrectomy because of anterior retina bleeding or vitreous hemorrhage. The rate of neovascularization disappeared and effective rate had statistical difference between two groups (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: It is a safe and effective methods to treat hsPDR by improved E-PRP and it was more effective than traditional PRP.

Objective To evaluate safety and validity of 3D video-assisted thoracoscopic technology in cardiac surgery.Methods Between October 2013 and July 2014,50 patients underwent 3 D Video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery including:5 atrial septal defect closure,1 ventricular septal defect closure,repairment of 1 unroofed coronary sinus,1 partial atrioventricular septal defect and 1 cor triatriatum,28 mitral valve replacement (1 re-MVR),1 tricuspid valve replacement,9 mitral valvuloplasty,2 left atrial myoxoma resection,and 1 left internal mammary artery harvest + minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.All procedures were performed under extracorporeal circulation,using 30° thoracoscope and 3D high resolution monitor.Results There was no perioperative death.One patient was converted to median sternotomy because of pericardial adhesions.Mean operative time was(232.8 ± 54.7) min,mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(128.0 ±42.5) min,mean aortic cross-clamp time was (74.7 ± 25.1) min.Mean ICU stay was (30.4 ± 22.0) h,mean duration of mechanical ventilation was(13.7 ± 11.9) h.Mean postoperative drainage time was (3.34 ± 1.91) d,mean hospital stay was (6.52 ± 3.06) days.There were 11 (22％) operative complications,including 4 intrathoracic bleeding,1 wound infection,3 hemothorax,1 brachial plexus injury,1 intractable hiccup and 1 mild paravalvular leakage.Compared with 20 mitral valve replacement by 2D thoracoscopy,the 3 D group was slightly less time consuming(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion 3 D video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery is feasible and safe,and it' s worthwhile to promote this promising technology.

AIM: To approach the antiobesity action and mechanisms of the daidzein derivative: LRXH609(LRX).METHODS: The body weight,Lee′s index,total weight of celiac fat tissue,food intake,serum glucose and lipids in obese rats induced by a high-fat diet were measured and the antiobesity action was tested after LRX was administered for 30 days.3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were induced by in vitro culture,the effects of LRX on cell proliferation,lipogenesis,lipolysis were observed.RESULTS: The body weight,Lee′s index,fat tissue weight in obese rats were significantly decreased by LRX,and the concentrations of TC,FFA in serum were decreased,the proliferation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes was inhibited,the activities of hormone sensitive lipase in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were significantly elevated,the glycerine release from adipocytes was promoted and the concentrations of TG in adipocytes were decreased.CONCLUSION: LRX plays a role in antiobesity action and regulating blood lipid and the mechanism might be related to inhibiting proliferation and differentiation of pre-adipocytes,stimulating TG decomposition by activating hormone-sensitive lipase and decreasing the TG storage in adipocyte.

· AlM: To explore the correlation of center retinal thickness and axial length in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( DR) .
· METHODS:A total of 80 cases ( 155 eyes ) of non-proliferative DR patients were divided into three groups according to the axial length, 22~24mm of 27 cases (51 eyes) were normal group, 24 ~26mm of 28 cases ( 55 eyes) were long axis group, >26mm of 25 cases ( 49 eyes) were super long axis group.The center retinal thickness and ocular axial length of three groups were measured and the correlation of center retinal thickness and axial length were analyzed.
· RESULTS:Among the inner ring and outer ring, the center retinal thickness of upper and lower, bitamporal and nasal side of super long axis group was thicker than that in normal group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05 ); Among the inner ring and outer ring, the center retinal thickness of upper and lower, bitamporal and nasal side of super long axis group was thicker than that in long axis group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); The DR central macular of retinal thickness was no correlation of the axial length ( P >0.05 ), but retinal thickness get thinning with increased of axial length on the inner ring and outer ring area, showed a negative correlation ( rinner ring =-0.63, router ring=-0.67, P<0.05).
·CONCLUSlON:Center retinal thickness and ocular axial length in non -proliferative DR patients, and center retinal thickness of super long axis patients are thinning obviously.

Strong inhibition of Bacillus subtilis strain NJ-18 on mycelia growth of Alternaria solani was observed in the antagonistic tests by cylinder plate methods, and the inhibition width was 21.5 mm. Observation under microscope found that the supernatant of fermentation from NJ-18 could make the pathogen hyphae cells malformed and swelled, and consequently the growth of the pathogen was inhibited. Determining of the colonization in potato plants by the signed rifampicin-resistance in NJ-18 showed that it could colonize well in the plants, the colonization quantity of NJ-18 in the root and stem of the potato detected 30 days after fermentation irrigation was 103 CFU/g plant’s fresh weight. In pot experiment, we inoculated the tomato plants with the spore suspensions of Alternaria solani after spraying the fermentation of NJ-18, the results were investigated in 14 days and the efficacy in controlling the disease was 72.9%, which was significantly higher than 45.7%, the efficacy resulted from spray treatment of 2000 fold dilution of 50% iprodione wetable powder.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of sport walking on heart and lungs functions in old women.MethodsForty-two old women aged from 60 to 69 had sport walking for 4 months; the speed and intensity were controlled according to their heart rate respectively. The indexes of respiration, circulation and rheoencephalography were measured before and after exercise.ResultsAfter exercise, blood-pumping function of heart improved obviously, stroke volume increased from (65.22±11.41)ml to (72.10± 10.78)ml, ejection fraction increased from (60.10±5.03)% to (68.78±6.25)%, while heart rate declined from (77.45±8.69) times/min to (7.89±8.21)times/min, capacity increased from (2.86±0.36)L to (3.34±0.53)L, and maximal voluntary ventilation for every minute increased from (96.14± 15.21)L to (114.02±16.01)L, significantly different compared with that before treatment ( P<0.01). The fluid time of rheoencephalography reduced from (0.171±0.058)s to (0.128±0.049)s ( P<0.01).ConclusionSport walking under proper intensity can improve the function of respiration and circulation system in old women, so it is a good way to keep health for the elders.

Objective To explore the clinical features,diagnosi s and prognosis of incontinentia pigmenti.Methods Analyzing and summarizing the clinical characteristic, diagnosis and prognosis of neonatal incontinentia pigmenti in 6 neonatal infants that were hospita- lized in our department during the period from January 1 998 to December 2003 were studied,and some relevant literature were reviewed. Results 1.Three of 6 infants were male which was unusual;2.Four infants had typical skin lesions at birth and 1 case at 6 days old.Four cases had typical 3 stages o f skin lesions including the erythematous and vesicular inflammatory stage,verr ucous lesions and hyperkeratosis stage,macular hyperpigmentation stage,but the re was overlap;3.Four infants were complicated by central nervous system involv ement (two cases presented mental retardation,2 infants were temporary damage). Two cases were complicated by ocular manifestations ( one case had optical nerve atrophy and blind in left eye,the other had severe bilateral retinal lesions); 4.On specific examination 5 infants were diagnosed by skin biopsy.Gene analysis was made in 1 case,but we didn′t find the mutations of NEMO. Conclusions Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare X-linked dominant multisystem disease.It may be misdiagnosed in the initial stages.Except typical clinical features,skin biops y and gene analysis are main evidence for diagnosis.Early detection and interven tion are important for prognosis.
