To discuss long-term changes of refractive status in children after congenital cataract intraocular lens ( lOL) implantation and analyze its related influence factors.METHODS: Seventy cases ( 110 eyes ) with congenital cataract from January 2013 to January 2014 in our hospital were selected, according to the age of patients, they were divided into group A (<2 years old), group B (2~6 years old) , group C ( 7 ~ 12 years old ) . They were all given cataract extraction combined with lOL implantation in congenital cataract. Corneal curvature, axial length, refractive status of three groups after operation were compared, the influence factors ocular axis changes were analyzed. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in corneal curvature of groups A, B, and C after operation ( P>0. 05 );The differences had statistical significances of the corneal curvature of group A after surgery and 3mo after operation (P<0. 05), there were no significant differences of the corneal curvature of group B, group C after surgery and 3mo after operation (P>0. 05);the corneal curvature 3mo after operation of group A was significantly higher than that of groups B and C (P<0. 05), there were no significant differences in the corneal curvature between group B, and group C after 3mo ( P>0. 05 ); There were no statistical significances on axial length after operation in groups A, B, and C (P>0. 05);Ocular axial length difference of group A 3mo after surgery was significantly higher than that of groups B and C ( P < 0. 05 ), ocular axial length had no statistical difference of group B, group c 3mo after surgery ( P>0. 05). Refractive status of three groups after operation showed myopia moving trend, refractive change rate and refractive diopter of group A after operation was significantly higher than that of group B, group C, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: After congenital cataract extraction combined with lOL implantation, patients present myopia refractive state trend. Performance of children below 2 years old is significant. The main factor of myopia is axial growth.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Xingnaojing Injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage on brain edema and content of serum aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in patients with moderate hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage, and discuss the treatment mechanism of Xingnaojing injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage for cerebral hemorrhage.

METHODForty-two patients with moderate (25-50 mL) hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage (< 24 h) were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group (n = 22) and the control group (n = 20). The neurological severity score were evaluated by the NIHSS (national institutes of health stroke scale), the volume of brain edemas were measured by head CT, the serum levels of AQP4 were determined by ELISA method on admission and 1 and 2 weeks after treatment.

RESULTOn admission, there was no significant difference in the scores of NIHSS, the volume of brain edemas and the level of serum AQP4 between the observation group and the control group. At the end of the first week after the treatment, the score of NIHSS of the observation group were lower than that of the control group, with significant different (P < 0.05); the observation group showed reduced volume of brain edemas than that on admission (P < 0.05), whereas the control group the control group showed increased volume of brain edemas than that on admission; the control group displayed increased level of serum AQP4 than that on admission, but without significant difference; the observation group displayed decreased level of serum AQP4 than that on admission (P < 0.05). At the end of the second week after the treatment, the control group showed decreased score of NIHSS than that on admission and at the end of the first week after treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a much lower score of NIHSS (P < 0.01), the control group displayed reduced volume of brain edemas than that on admission and at the end of the first week after treatment, but the observation group was even lower than the control group. Both of observation and control groups displayed significantly reduced level of AQP4 (P < 0.05), but the observation group showed a lower AQP4 level than that of the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe therapy of Xingnaojing injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage could remarkably reduce brain edema, and promote neural functional recovery, thus could be selected as a therapeutic regimen for patients with moderate hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage.

Objective　To investigate the causes and preventive methods of postoperative complications of femoral shaft fracture treated with intramedullary interlocking nails. 　Methods　A total of 116 patients with femoral shaft fractures admitted to our hospital from 1994 to 1999 were retrospectively studied in this article. They were all treated with intramedullary interlocking nails. The locking nails were removed from the 14 patients with delayed union to convert the fixation from static to dynamic. For the 6 patients with bone nonunion, the locking nails were removed, and new locking nails and bone grafts were employed. And for the 4 patients with bone infection, the foci were cleaned and the locking nails were removed, then certain external fixation was applied.　Results　Followed up for 1 year, the fractures of 14 patients with delayed union were completely healed. For the 6 patients with bone nonunion, reoperation was needed in 4 patients and a third operation needed in 2 patients, and they all healed after being followed up for one and half a year. For the 4 patients with bone infection, only 3 patients healed. The whole effective rate was 95.8%. 　Conclusions　Although the intramedullary interlocking nails used for femoral shaft fractures have advantages than other internal fixations, the complications of delayed healing, nonunion, bone infection and breaking nails are often found. The effective measures to reduce the complications include strict master of the operative indications, suitable materials for the implant and conversion of the fixation from static to dynamic in time, careful selection of debriding the realm or debriding no realm, complete debridement and strict abacterial procedures.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for treatment of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) has obtained some outcomes in adult animals, but studies are few in neonatal animal models. Mesenchymal stem cells are commonly harvested from bone marrow. A few studies are on umbilical cord blood-mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and timeliness of UCB-MSC transplantation after injecting UCB-MSCs into neonatal rat models of HIBD. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The complete randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Department of Neurology of First Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University from October 2004 to July 2005. MATERIALS: A total of 38 healthy neonatal SD rats aged 7 days old were used to create rat models of HIBD. Three rats died. METHODS: Cord blood samples were collected after normal full-term delivery of 23-35 healthy pregnant women for culturing UCB-MSCs. MSCs were labeled with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole 2hci (DAPI) in vitro before transplantation. Thirty-five rat models were divided into three groups. UCB-MSCs were injected into tail vein of twelve rat models in the early transplantation group two days after modeling. UCB-MSCs were injected into tail vein of twelve rat models in the late transplantation group one week after modeling. Same volume of saline was injected into eleven rats of the control group. Six rats from early transplantation and late transplantation groups each were respectively obtained at day 2 after transplantation and at week 2 after modeling. Three, four and four rats from control group were obtained respectively 2 days, 1 and 2 weeks after modeling, and sacrificed after anaesthesia. Ischemic brain tissues from the brain and hippocampal gyrum were sliced into frozen sections. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Brain tissue pathomorphology was measured by Haematoxylin and Eosin Staining. Brain tissue DAPI-positive cells were detected with a fluorescence microscope. RESULTS: Brain edema at ischemic region, neural cell swelling and a decrease in cell number were tested in the control group. DAPI-positive UCB-MSCs were few in focal brain tissues, and swelling degree,extracellular space improvement and increased cell number were insignificant in the early transplantation group. One week after modeling, brain tissue extracellular space became small, cell number increased, and brain swelling reduced; A mass of DAPI-positive cells in rat focal brain migrated and diffused, without significant boundary in the late transplantation group. CONCLUSION: UCB-MSCs effectively traverse blood-brain barrier, and migrate, disperse and conform around focal brain tissues. A good outcome of transplantation is obtained at week 1 after HIBD.
