Acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARNS) is a group of eye syndrome.Acute uveitis, retinal artery occlusive vasculitis, fused necrotic retinitis and late stage of retinal detachment is the main clinical manifestation.A part of patients may be associated with increased intraocular pressure.The etiology and pathogenesis is still not clear completely and most people think that may be related to the virus infection, which mainly to reflected to be herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), EB virus and giant cell virus (CMV) infection.Its diagnosis mainly depends on clinical manifestation, examination and etiological examination.Acute retinal necrosis syndrome is urgent and develops quickly, and it is lack of specific clinical symptoms in early times.By the way, it enjoys high misdiagnosis rate and poor prognosis.It is hard to cure, therefore, it is an important reason for the blindness.Once diagnosed, treatment should be adopted by carrying local and systemic antiviral, preventive laser photocoagulation in time.At the same time, it is essential that vitreous body resection combine with silicone oil tamponade treatment when necessary.The study shows that the effective measures of early treatment will be able to prevent disease progression and improve visual acuity.Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome is very important.In this paper, combination of the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome were reviewed.

To understand the present situation of sport participation in community residents of Shanghai，study infecting factors to the regular sport participation rate and evaluate recognition degree of the relationship of sport and chronic disease，we carried out questionnaire survey indoors among the permanent residents,aged 35～74,in East Nanjing Road community, including survey on chronic disease and sport participation situation. The material was statistically analyzed and the related factors were proved by x2 test. The results showed that in 1457 permanent residents,470 regularly participat in sport, and were classified as sport population. The prevalence was 32.3%.The gender, age, education level, occupation and chronic disease had statistical significance (P<0.05) and they were probably infecting factors of the regular sport participation rate. Currently,the regular sport participation rate in community is relatively high and the purpose of sport participation was evident, however, the age structure of sport population was imbalance. The sport participation in residents was individualized and without proper scientific instruction.

BACKGROUND: Cervical spondylosis is a common disease in middleaged and elderly people. There are many methods of rehabilitative treatment such as traction, massage, medical gymnastics, acupuncture and local blocking, etc.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of rehabilitative exercise on patients with cervical spondylosis by way of quantitative generalized boxing exercise combined with local cervical medical exercise.DESIGN: Self-control study on patients with cervical spondylosis in the community for 3 monthsSETTING: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University PARTICIPANTS: The indoor questionnaire investigation about chronic diseases in community was carried out on 1 457 inhabitants with the age from 35 to 74 in a community of South Nanjing district, Shanghai in order to check out the patients with cervical spondylosis who had been diagnosed confirmatively by hospital and exclude the patients with the disease of spinal cord type. There were total 114 patients volunteering to participate in the 3-month rehabilitative treatment with an informed content, including of 12 with cervical type of the disease, 39 with nerve root type, 23 with vertebroarterial type, 5 with sympathetic nerve type, 35 with mixed type and none with spinal cord type.METHODS: 3-month rehabilitative exercise was carried out for the 114 patients with cervical spondylosis.① One or several kinds of generalized boxing exercise such as shadow boxing, eighteen-gesture training practice and joint exercise were chosen by the patients according to their own in terest and physical energy. It was required that patient exercise was done for 3 months with one time a day, and each time for no less than 30 minutes, with the intensity after each exercise arriving to the target heart rate level of 170 subtracting their age. ② Aiming to exercise the cervicalshoulder part and to relax its related functions, the local cervical medical exercise has 12 procedures including turning left and right, moving neck around, shrinking head and relaxing shoulders, stretching neck and extending back, turning head and watching the moon, waving arms, putting up arms, lifting chest and squaring elbows, and trying hard to stretch neck.It was required that each procedure be repeated 5 to 10 times at the beginning and later more times increasing gradually, and the whole set of exercise be practiced for 3 months with lor 2 times each day and each time lasted at least 10 minutes.③No other treatment was performed by the patients except for the above exercise intervention. The effects were evaluated after 3 months.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①The evaluated results of the curative effect in all patients with 3-month rehabilitative exercise.② Relationship between types of cervical spondylosis and curative effect ③ Relationship between course of disease and curative effect RESULTS: According to the intention-to-treat analysis, all the 114 patients persisting in the 3-month exercise intervention entered the result analysis. The curative effect evaluation: among the 114 patients, 44 were with the general curative effect, 40 with marked improvement, 25 with improvement, 5 with inefficacy. The percentage of the general curative and marked improved is 73.7%, and that of total improvement is 95.6% The clinical manifestations of all patients with cervical spondylosis including cervicoscapulargia, radioactive numb and pain in unilateral or bilateral upper arms, dizziness, tinnitus, headache, etc.were distinctively improved ② Relationship between the types of cervical spondylosis and curative effect: after 3-month treatment of rehabilitative exercise, the percentage of the general curative effect and marked improvement in patients with cervical type and nerve root type was higher than that in patients with verteboarterial type, sympathetic nerve type and mixed type (91.7%,97.4%, 47.8% ,20.0% ,65.7% respectively and p value below 0.01). ③ Relationship between the course of cervical spondylosis and curative effects: the percentage of the general curative effect and marked improvement in patients with the course of less than one year is 90.9% and that in patients with the course of 1 to 5 years is 88.6%, which were all higher than that in patients with a course of 5 more years (p value below 0.01).CONCLUSION: Quantitative generalized boxing exercise combined with local cervical medical exercise is helpful to improve the radiculopathy symptoms, but only combined with other treatments could patients with vertebroarterial type receive the best curative effect. In addition, there is a certain relation between the course of disease and curative effect, and patients with cervical spondylosis should be treated with rehabilitative exercise as early as possible, which suggestes that it is worthy of popularization that patients with cervical spondylosis are organized to practice quantitative boxing exercise combined with cervical medical exercise in the community.

Thyroid neoplasm is one of the most common endocrinal tumors. In general, thyroid cancer patients are usually presented with asymptomatic neck nodules. A differential diagnosis between malignant and benign thyroid neoplasm is very important for these patients. This review article primarily discusses biological markers used to aid the differential diagnosis of thyroid neoplasia, which may lead to a more rational approach to the treatment. It mainly describes the recent development of molecular biological markers VEGF-C, Cytokeratin-19, HBME-1, Pax8-PPAR and Galectin-3 for the differential diagnosis of thyroid neoplasms.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic angiomyolipoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 8 cases of hepatic angiomyolipoma in terms of clinical findings,image,pathologic examination and surgical treatment.Results Correct preoperative disgnosis was made in only 1 case, 4 were misdiagnosed as malignancy. All 8 cases underwent hepatectomy with an uneventful recovery and without recurrence at follow up.Conclusions Hepatic angiomyolipoma is characteristic of clinical as well as image features, although it is often difficult to make correct diagnosis before operation owing to low incidence and variable imaging appearances.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been widely used in many clinical fields, especially the mental illness, as well as the somatic diseases, behavior disorders in children, and intervention for the caregivers and family members of patients with various diseases.

The contents of coumarins in the sulfur fumigated Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi, ADR) were reduced significantly. To achieve the quality control of ADR, the qualitative identification of sulfur fumigated ADR and quantitative model of imperatorin content should be established. The near-infrared (NIR) spectrograms of non-sulfur and sulfur fumigated ADR were collected by NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy technology and pretreated by the method of first derivative derivation and vector normalization. The Ward's Algorithm method was used for the cluster analysis. The non-sulfur and sulfur fumigated ADR can be quickly identified in the range of 8,806. 0-3 811.0 cm(-1) based on the cluster analysis. The NIR quantitative model of imperatorin was established by the contents of imperatorin determined by HPLC in combination with partial least squares regression analysis. According to the calibration model established in this study, correlation coefficients (R2), the root-mean-square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), and the root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) for imperatorin were 0.982 8, 0.006 8, 0.011 8, respectively. The quantitative model of imperatorin can be applied to determine the content of imperatorin in ADR accurately.

Background and purpose:The traditional 3 incision surgery is an important means of esophageal cancer treatment, however, accompanied by more postoperative complications and higher mortality. Minimally invasive esophagectomy is a prospective technology with advantages, such as little trauma and quick recovery. This study retrospectively analyzed the perioperative effect of the esophagus cancer patients who accepted thoracoscopic-laparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE), open-laparoscopic esophagectomy (OLE) and open esophagectomy (OE) from Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2015. Methods:In this study, 72 patients received TLE, 76 patients received OLE and 115 patients received OE, respectively. One-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis test and Chi-square test were used to compare the differences of general clinical data, perioperative recover index, the number of lymphadenectomy and the postoperative complication among TLE, OLE and OE. Results:There were differences in the area of operative blood loss, duration of ICU stay and first standing time among the 3 groups. Pairwise comparison demonstrated that TLE group was signiifcantly better than OE group (P<0.012 5). The total number of lymphadenectomy among the 3 groups had no differences. However, the number of lymph node of the upper esophagus in the TLE groups was more than those in OLE group and OE group (P<0.001). The laryngeal recurrent nerve injury incidence in TLE group was signiifcantly higher than those in OLE group and OE group (P=0.012, 0.003). The total surgical complication had no differences among 3 groups. In areas of the cardiorespiratory system severe complication, 3 groups had statistical differences. Pairwise comparison showed TLE group was significantly less than OLE and OE group (P<0.0125). The first day and third day incidences of SIRS rate in TLE group were less than those in OLE group and OE group (P<0.0125). Conclusion:Comparing to OE group, with the same safety and feasibility, TLE had more advantages such as trauma, quick recovery, less complications. With the same effect of total lymphadenectomy to OE, TLE had the more advantage in upper mediastinal and recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node cleaning.

Objective:The clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and prognosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) with distant me-tastasis as the first manifestation were evaluated in this study. Methods:A total of 129 FTC cases with clinical data were retrospective-ly analyzed in the Department of Pathology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital (January 2001 to January 2016). Survival analysis and conjoint analysis on FTC with clinical data, diagnosis, and morphological characteristics with distant metastasis as the first manifestation were performed. Results:Among the 129 FTC cases, 24 cases demonstrated distant metastasis as the first mani-festation (18.6%). Bone metastasis was the most common (13.2%). The presence of mass and pain at the metastatic sites were the usu-al clinical complaints. The morphological characteristics of FTC with distant metastasis can be classified into four subtypes:microfollicu-lar (10 cases), solid (4 cases), normofollicular (9 cases), and macrofollicular (1 case). Immunostaining tests on thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor-1 showed positive results in FTC with metastasis. Survival analysis showed that the five-year survival rates in the 24 cases were 87.1%. The prognosis of patients with solitary metastasis was better than that of patients with multiple metastasis (P=0.022). A higher survival rate was found in the normofollicular and macrofollicular subtypes than that detected in the microfollicular and solid subtypes (P=0.012). Conclusion:FTC is susceptible to distant metastasis. Some patients with FTC demonstrated distant me-tastasis as the first manifestation, and their diagnosis can be confirmed by pathological feature analysis and immunostaining. The prog-nostic significance is possibly related to the number of lesions of FTC with distant metastasis and histopathological subtypes.

Objective To observe the impact of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia on the early apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells.Methods A549 cells was first stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)or staurosporine (STS)to induce cell apoptosis,and then co-cultured with Aspergillus fumigatus conidia of three different concentrations (5 × 10 5 ,5 × 10 6 ,5 × 10 7 )simultaneously.The changes of the apoptosis rate of A549 cells were detected by flow cytometry.Results The early apoptosis of A549 cells was increased markedly after stimulated with TNF-α ([14.94 ± 0.82 ]% vs [3.26 ± 0.74]%,χ2 =9.18,P <0.05)and STS ([18.10±1 .00]% vs [3.26±0.74]%,χ2 =12.32,P <0.05). When Aspergillus fumigatus conidia of different concentrations were added,the apoptosis rate was decreased (χ2 =31 .23,P <0.05 ).The early apoptosis of A549 cells was negatively correlated with the concentration of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia (rTNF = - 0.92,r STS = - 0.94,both P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Aspergillus fumigatus conidia inhibits the early apoptosis of A549 cells induced by TNF-αor STS and the inhibit effect increases with the concentration of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia.
