Objective To systematically review the clinical efficiency and safety after topical administration of tranexamic acid in total hip arthroplasty. Methods Relevant randomized controlled trials were identified from databases such as Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase and CNKI from the establishment of the database to August, 2017. A systematic review was performed to compare total blood loss, the rate of transfusion and thromboembolism events between the tranexamic acid group and the control group. And the patients in tranexamic acid group were treated with tranexamic acid for hemorrhage after total hip arthroplasty, while the patients in the control group were not treated with tranexamic acid or used isotonic saline. Analysis was carried out using Review Manager version 5.2.0 software. Results Eight studies were incorporated into the Meta-analysis. The results of Meta-analysis showed that there was significant difference in total blood loss between two groups [weighted mean difference (WMD)=–360.27 mL, 95% confidence interval (CI) (–412.68, –307.87) mL, P<0.000 01]. There was significant difference in the rate of transfusion between two groups [ (odds ratio,OR)=0.22, 95%CI (0.14, 0.33), P<0.000 01]. There was no significant difference in complications between two groups [OR=1.48, 95%CI (0.41, 5.34), P=0.55]. Conclusion Topical administration of tranexamic acid could significantly reduce total blood loss and transfusion requirements in primary total hip arthroplasty, and would not increase thromboembolic complications.
Objective To explore the impact of restrictive fluid administration for patients with colorectal cancer combined diabetes. Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer with diabetes were analyzed retrospectively from January 2007 to October 2009 in this hospital, the clinical effects on postoperative early rehabilitation were studied and the differences between restrictive fluid regimen (fluid restriction group) and tradition fluid regimen (tradition therapy group) were compared. Results The time of first aerofluxus and the first ambulation in fluid restriction group were shorter than those of tradition therapy group, the differences had statistical significances (Plt;0.05). The incidence of wound infection in fluid restriction group was lower than that in tradition therapy group (Plt;0.05). The differences of preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell (WBC), glucose (GLU) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were not statistically significant between two groups, but the difference of postoperative GLU was statistically significant between two groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Restrictive fluid regimen can reduce the incidence of common complications after colorectal surgery for diabetic, and has a certain promoter action to the early rehabilitation after rectal surgery.

Objective To investigate the retinal toxicity and verify the safe dose of intravitreal injecting fluconazole. Methods Twelve healthy adult white rabbits were divided at random into 6 groups：a normal control group and 5 groups received intravitreal injection of a single dose of fluconazole ranging from 10 to 200 mu;g respectively.Retinal toxicity was examined by ophthalmoscopy, electroretinography, light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on the third and fourteenth day after injection. Results The ultrastructures of the retinal tissues of the normal control group and fluconazole 10～150 mu;g groups were normal on the third and fourteen day after injection.The light microscopy and TEM showed that cells of all the retinal layers in the 200 mu;g group revealed apparent degenerative changes on the fourteenth day after injection, and the light microscopic picture showed the vacuolar degeneration of outer segments of photoreceptors, the nuclei in outer nuclear layer drop out into inner segments, the vacuolar degeneration of nerve fiber layer, and the proliferation of pigment epithelium. TEM revealed expansion of paranucl eus space and karyopyknosis of the bipolar cells, the swelling of nerve fibers and disappearance of the synapses in the inner plexiform layer, the vacuolation and disappearance of microvilli of the pigment epithelium cells. Conclusion The safe dose of fluconazole injected intravitreally should be 100～150 mu;g. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2000，16：139-212)
Objective To investigate the effect of doxycycline on the proliferation and vasculogenic mimicry in retinoblastoma (RB) cell line in vitro. Methods RB cell line were tested for their ability to form perfusable tubular networks in 3D culture with doxycycline in the concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 mg/L, and CoCl2 was used as chemical hypoxia-inducing reagent to mimic tumor hypoxic microenvironment. The effect of doxycycline on proliferation were detected by MTT assay in vitro, and the effect on tube formation of RB cells were detected by tube-like structure formation assay and PAS staining. The mRNA levels of MMP2 and MMP9 at different hypoxic culture and different doxycycline concentrations were detected by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The micrograph showed that RB cells linked each other to form cavity and network tructure in 3D culture. the number of tubules in doxycycline group were significantly lower than which in the control group in the concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 mg/L (Plt;0.001).OD of doxycycline group was significantly lower than which in the control group (t=15.320，Plt;0.01) , The proliferation of RB cells had a negative correlation with the concentration of doxycycline (r =-0924, Plt;001). The levels of MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA of RB cells under hypoxia were significantly higher than which in the control group (t=16.469，Plt;0.01). As the concentration of doxycycline increased, the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased. The result of double staining also showed that VM, formed by CD34negative and PASpositive tumor cells, existed in 12 simples of retinoblastoma. Conclusion RB cells have the capacity of selfmetamorphosing and vasculorizing in 3D culture. Doxycycline can inhibit their proliferation and vasculogenic mimicry formation in vitro by downregulating the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 .
Objective Tissue engineering advance in supplying the reparative and reconstructive medicine with promising tissue engineered medical products(TEMPs) and the new therapy alternative. The related supervision and administration of TEMPs is being developed and the standard research of TEMPs is also in progress. The Food and Drug Administration(FDA) of the United States has treated TEMPs as combined products and supervised them according to the level of risk to patients. Lately, FDA has determined that the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) should take charge of examination and approval of TEMPs, with the cooperation of the Center for Biological Evaluations and Research(CBER). The regulatory controls have been established respectively in European Union and Japan. In China, TEMPs are identified as medical devices combined with cells. The Department of Medical Device of the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) is responsible for the examination and approval of TEMPs, and National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical amp; Biological Products(NICPBP) is responsible for evaluation tests. The standards of TEMPs are formulated mainly by the American Society of Testing Materials(ASTM) and International Standardization Organization(ISO).
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeated treatments with low-dose rituximab for relapsing neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Methods A perspective study. 21 patients who were diagnosed with NMOSD one year ago were recruited for rituximab treatment. Of 21 patients, one was male, 20 were females. Onset age was 10 - 51 years, the mean onset age was (26.2±12.0) years. Duration of disease was 2.3 - 25.8 years, the mean duration was (9.2±5.9) years. Best corrected vision activity (BCVA), expanded disability status scale (EDSS), annualized relapsing rate (ARR) were valued to investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated treatments with low-dose rituximab. The BCVA was examined using Snellen chart, and converted to logMAR. The mean BCVA was 1.13±1.09, the mean BCVA in better eyes was 0.4±0.68, the mean BCVA in latter eyes was 1.87±0.90. The mean EDSS was 3.09±0.70. The mean ARR was 1.04±0.65. All patients underwent two cycles of RTX treatment. The annually induction treatment was RTX 100 mg per week for 4 weeks. Of 21 patients, 12 patients had treatment within one month after attack. The mean follow-up period was (28.4±4.9) months. The side effects were recorded, BCVA, EDSS, ARR were valued to investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated treatments with low-dose rituximab. Paired t test, independent sample t test and Chi-squared test were used. Results The mean BCVA at last follow-up was 0.62±0.91, the mean BCVA in better eye was 0.62±0.91, the BCVA in latter eye was 1.0±1.01. The mean EDSS was 2.26±1.07. The mean ARR was 0.21 ± 0.3. After the treatment, patient had significant improvement on BCVA in worst eye (t=4.256), ARR (t=2.900), EDSS (t=4.620) with the significant differences (P＜0.05).Thirteen relapses in 9 patients were observed. B lymph cells were more than 0.01% in all relapses. There was no significant difference on the BCVA in better eye (t=1.840, P＞0.05). There were 9 patients had relapse, 13 times in total. Of 13 relapses, B lymph cell count was performed in 12 relapses, and the counts were 0.01% - 0.14%. There were no significant difference between relapsed patients and non-relapsed patients on onset age (t=0.67, P=0.51), whether underwent plasma exchange treatment (χ2=1.61, P＞0.05), with/without auto-immune antibody ratio (χ2=1.61, P＞0.05). Of 21 patients, 8 patients had side effects, including 5 patients with infection, 4 patients with chest congestion, 3 patients with hair losing, 2 patients with skin rashes, headache and short of breath, 1 patient with tinnitus, palpitation and fatigue. Four patients had more than one symptom. Of all patients who had side effects, slowing down the infusion speed of RTX or infusing 5 mg of dexamethasone could relieve the discomfort. Conclusion Lose-dose rituximab reduces the frequency of NMOSD relapses and is well tolerated.
OBJECTIVE:To verify the safe dose of cephradine in intravitreal injection. METHODS:After injecting different doses of cephradine(100mu;g,200mu;g,250mu;g,300mu;g,400mu;g)into vitreous cavity of different group of rabbits the activities of the retinal enzymes (SDH,LDH )on different time (Id,3d, 7d ) were determined respectively, and the histological and ultrastructural changes of retinas were also observed simuhaneously. RESULTS:The activity of rellnal SDH and LDH was found to be decreased gradually with tbe icreasing of the dosage of intravitreal cephradine. The activities of SDH and LDH were found in the lowest level on tile 3rd and lsl day,but they recover to normal levels on tile 7th day after intravitreal in}eetion in 100mu;g,200mu;g groups,and still lower tban normal in the other groups. Histologically,retinal edema was found both in 100mu;g and 200mu;g groups,but degradation of retinal cells,and loss of cones and rods were round in the 250mu;g, 300mu;g and 400mu;g groups. CONCLUSION: The safe dose of intravitreal injection of cepbradlnc is 200mu;g. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13:139-142 ）
