Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2010;26(4):339-342
Objective To observe the changes of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and its correlation with visual field mean defects(MD)in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods Fifteen eyes of 15 PD patients in early stage and 18 eyes of 18 normal controls undertook RNFL examination by Stratus OCT-3. Circular scans (diameter is 3. 46 mm) were taken around the optic nerve head including eight quadrants (superior, inferior, temporal, nasal, temporal-superior, temporal-inferior, nasal-superior and nasalinferior). The RNFL thickness in different quadrants in the two groups was analyzed. The visual field of PD patients was measured by central 30-2 program of Humphery750 visual field analyzer, and the MD was recorded. The correlation between RNFL thickness and MD was analyzed by linear correlation and regression analysis. Results RNFL thicknesses of superior, inferior, temporal, nasal, temporal-superior, temporal-inferior, nasal-superior, nasal-inferior and average RNFL thickness in the control group were (132.7±17.4), (141. 5±15. 3),(83. 2±17. 5), (83.7±22.3) ,(120.8±21.2), (117. 9±24.5) ,(109.6±20. 6),(110.2±27.7), and(109. 9±8. 5) μm respectively, while in the PD group they were (128.1±25.3),(128. 6±13. 2),(68. 7±13. 5),(76. 5±17. 8),(102. 6±23. 7), (103.3±14.1) ,(101.2±20.9),(96.6±15.0),(102.3±11.9) μm . Compared with each other, the differences of RNFL thickness of inferior, temporal, temporal-superior, temporal-inferior and average RNFL thickness were statistically significant (t = 2. 595, 2. 700, 2. 330, 2. 153,2. 131;P = 0. 014, 0. 011, 0. 026, 0. 040, 0. 041). There was a close negative relationship between average RNFL thickness and MD in PD patients (r= -0. 933, P<0. 0001). Conclusions RNFL thickness was significantly thinner in PD patients than that in the normal controls. There was a negative relationship between RNFL thickness and MD in PD patients.

Objective To observe the degree of liver su rface abnormality using high frequency probes and additional methods and to investigate the diagnostic value of semi-quatitative grading in liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Methods One hundred and twenty-seven cases of cirrhosis (including 83 cases of hepatocelular carcinoma) confirmed by operation and pathology were enrolled in the group while 56 cases of non-cirrhotic patients with no clinical signs and negative surgical gross findings (operation for other kinds of tumors) served as the control. Five additional methods such as high frequency probes, harmonic technique, local zooming out, regulating focus and decreasing gain were used to observe the configuration and thickness of liver surface. Five-grade classification of liver surface was adopted as follows: thin and regular-grade 0; slightly thickened with increased echogenicity-grade Ⅰ; thickened like fine ripples-grade Ⅱ; significantly thickened with segmental incontinuence-grade Ⅲ; significantly thickened like waves-grade Ⅳ. Observation on configuration of the round ligament: thin, regular with the thickness ≤2 mm was considered as normal whereas thickened, irregular with increased echogenicity as abnormal. Results Of the 127 cases in the study group, 11 cases were grade 0, and grade Ⅰ 21 cases, grade Ⅱ 27 cases, grade Ⅲ 32 cases, grade Ⅳ 36 cases. In the control group there were 48 cases of grade 0 and 8 cases of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of liver surface detection with this method were 91.3-%, 85.7-%, 89.6-%, respectively. 75% (9/12 cases) patients with liver fibrosis and 95.5%- patients ( 64/67- cases) with cirrhosis were found with abnormality of hepatic ligaments in the study group. While only 4 cases ( 8.9-%) with abnormality appeared in the control group.Conclusions Grading of changes in liver surface might sensitively reflect their pathological changes. In addition, it would be a reliable method in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and early stage cirrhosis as well as a semi-quatitative diagnostic tool for advancement of diffuse liver diseases.

This paper reviews practices and features of health service system planning in some countries, and analyze its implications for China’s system planning. It is an international common practice to perform health service system planning to improve resource allocation efficiency, to meet multilevel demands of medical services, and to control dramatic growth of medical expenditures. Governments and their affiliated departments are the main body to formulate and implement the plans, and different levels of governments have different responsibilities in planning. During the procedure of formulating and implementing plans, collaborative governance network can be utilized to en-courage multi-party stakeholders to participate. The government should play an active role in planning to ensure the equity and accessibility of health services. The authority of planning can be achieved mainly through the comprehen-sive measures in legislation, political regulation, economic incentives, etc. Improved tools and methods based on multidisciplinary theories can be used to improve plan’s scientificity and delicacy. China can learn from international experience in formulating and implementing health service system plans.
