Objective:To develop a simple and effective subretinal injection pipeline system to enhance the accuracy and precision of subretinal injection volume control.Methods:A retrospective case series study. From May to October 2023, 18 patients (18 eyes) with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) who continuously received modified subretinal injection treatment in Department of Ophthalmology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 10 males and 8 females. The mean age was (60.00±7.41) years. The primary causes included polypoid choroidal vasculopathy (14 cases), retinal macroaneurysm (2 cases), traumatic retinopathy (1 case), and Valsalva retinopathy (1 case). Hemorrhage affected 14 eyes of the fovea centralis. All affected eyes underwent standard three-channel 25G vitrectomy via the flat part of the ciliary body combined with modified subretinal injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. The improved injection system consisted of a 1 ml syringe, a Q-Syte TM connector, a 41G subretinal microinjection needle, a converter and a viscoelastic substance control pipeline. The drug preparation time for subretinal injection (i.e., the time consumed by the system connection step), the injection time, whether bubbles occur during the injection process, and the perioperative complications were recorded and analyzed. Results:The preparation time prior to drug injection ranged from 230 to 335 seconds, while the injection completion time varied between 43 and 75 seconds. Both times decreased progressively as operator proficiency improved. Among the treated eyes, five received a target injection dose of 0.05 ml and thirteen received 0.10 ml, with all eyes achieving the preset dose accurately. No subretinal bubbles were observed during the injection procedure. Additionally, no intraoperative complications such as retinal hemorrhage or tear secondary to mechanical trauma at the injection site were recorded. Postoperatively, one eye developed anterior chamber hemorrhage, which resolved following intraocular pressure-lowering treatment. No other postoperative complications, including hemorrhage, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, or infection, were observed in the remaining eyes.Conclusion:The retinal drug injection system developed in this study has a simple structure, safe and stable operation, can achieve precise drug injection, and effectively avoid the formation of bubbles.

3.Clinical analysis of sentinel lymph node biopsy of 138 cases with breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(16):2405-2407
Objective To investigate the clinical value of sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB)in breast cancer.Methods SLNB by using a 1% methylene blue 2mL subcutaneous was performed in 138 female patients with breast cancer,clinical stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,stage,aged from 32 to 55 years old.Results Identification rate,accuracy rate, sensitivity,false negative rate of SLNB were 94.2%,96.0%,91.1% and 8.1%.Conclusion SLNB can conduct clinical axillary lymph node dissection narrow range,reduce the surgical trauma and postoperative complications.Ⅰ,Ⅱ sentinel lymph node -negative breast cancer patients may not have ipsilateral axillary dissection.

Objective To understand the status of field feces in Jingzhou City, so as to provide the evidence for improving the control measures to interrupt the transmission routes of schistosomiasis. Methods The distribution of field feces was investigated in 27 schistosomiasis endemic villages in Gong’an,Jianli,Jiangling,Honghu and Shishou counties(cities)from 2010 to 2012. The schistosome positive status of the field feces was surveyed with the hatching method. Results There were 1 366 field feces and the average density was 0.089 2 feces per 100 square meters in this survey. The cattle feces,human feces,dog feces and elk feces respectively accounted for 99.71%,0.07%,0.15% and 0.07% in the survey. The infection rates of the field feces were 1.46%and 2.42%in the channels and bottomlands,respectively(P>0.05). The average rate of infected field feces was 3.21%in 2010,0.36%in 2011,and 1.60%in 2012,and the difference between 2010 and 2012 was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions The main field feces come from cattle,and the main distribution of infected field feces is in channels and bottom-lands. Therefore,the management of cattle and treatment of field feces should be strengthened.

Objective To understand the key risk factors of schistosomiasis transmission in Jingzhou City,so as to provide the evidence for improving the treatment of these risk factors. Methods Each village of six counties was investigated and 3 envi-ronments were surveyed each village for the distribution of Oncomelania snails and animal stools in the field. The results were ana-lyzed and the risk factors of schistosomiasis transmission were assessed. Results The density of living snails was 0.43 snails per 0.1 m2,the frequency of the frames with snails was 9.12%,and no schistosome infected snails were found. All of the animal stools collected from the field were from bovines. The schistosome positive rate of animal stools was 37.50%(3/8)among the environ-ments,and the schistosome infection rate of stools was 8.11%(3/37). The schistosome infection rate of animal stools was 0 near the residence living sites,and the positive rates were 12.50%and 8.33%in the ditches and slopes,respectively(χ2=0.07,P>0.05). Conclusions Bovine is still the main infectious source of schistosomiasis,i.e. the main risk factor of the disease transmis-sion. Therefore,the strategy of controlling bovine should be strengthened.
