One eye each in 3 groups of 12 pigmented rabbits after bilateral vitrectomy received 0.5mg, 1mg or 2mg triamcinolone acetonide (TA), respectively. The fellow eye received only balance saline solution as control. Ophthalmoscopy and electroretinography were performed during 1 day to 38 days after vitrectomy and drug injection. Light and electronmicroscopic studies were done on the 28th day. The particles of drug were visible on day 28 in all TA-treated eyes. Administration of 0. 5rug and 1mg TA did not result in different changes in ERG b-wave amplitudes compared with those in control eyes(P>0. 05). There were significant elevations of ERG b-wave in 2mg TA eyes compared to the control eyes(Plt;0.05), Both ligbt and electronmicroscopy of the retina in these groups were almost normal. The results showed no Toxielties in TA treated eye up to 2mg after vitrectomy. This offers the experimental evidence as a baseline for combining TA with vitrectomy to reduce recurrence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 105- 107)
The precise anatomical division of liver segments is the foundation of liver surgery, while the anatomical division of the S9 segment of liver is a further precise division of the caudate lobe of the liver. This article retrospectively analyzed and summarized the precise minimally invasive ablation and follow-up results of four representative lesions of the S9 segment of liver, including primary liver cancer, recurrent liver cancer, metastatic liver cancer, and focal liver hyperplasia, treated at Affiliated Dongguan Hospital of Southern Medical University. The aim of this study is to explore the minimally invasive ablation effect of lesions located at the S9 segment of liver under CT guidance.
Objective To observe the change of diffusion upper limit of macromol ecules through pathological retina and the difference between the layers of retina. Methods Retinal edema was emulated by establishing branch retinal vein occlusion (RVO) model in miniature pig eyes under photodynamic method. Two days later, the retinas of both eyeballs were peeled off. The diffusion test apparatus was designed by ourselves. FITC-dextrans of various molecular weights (4.4, 9.3, 19.6, 38.9, 71.2 and 150 kDa) and Carboxyfluorescein (376 Da) were dissolved in RPMI1640 solutions and diffused through inner or outer surface of retina. The rate of transretinal diffusion was determined with a spectrophotometer. Theoretical maximum size of molecule (MSM) was calculated by extrapolating the trend-linear relationship with the diffusion rate. In separate experiments to determine the sites of barrier to diffusion, FITC-dextrans were applied to either the inner or outer retinal surface, processed as frozen sections, and viewed with a fluores cence microscope. Results FITC-dextrans applying to inner retinal surface, 4.4 kDa dextrans were largely blocked by inner nuclear layer (INL); 19.6,71.2 kDa dextrans were blocked by the nerve fiber layer (NFL) and inner plexiform layer; 15.0 kDa dextrans were blocked by NFL. FITC-dextrans applying to outer retinal surface, most dextrans with various molecular weights were blocked before outer nuclear layer (ONL). No matter applying to the inner or outer surface, Carboxyfluore scein can diffuse through the whole retina and aggregate at INL and ONL. After RVO, the inner part of retina became edema and cystoid, loosing the barrier function. Compared with the normal retina, the MSM in RVO tissues increased (6.5plusmn;0 39nm Vs 6.18plusmn;0.54nm, t=4.143, P=0.0001). Conclusions A fter RVO, the barrier function of inner part of retinal is destroyed and the upper limit of diffusion macromolecule size increased, which is nevertheless limited. ONL acts as bottle-neck barriers to diffusion, if the outer part of retina is damaged, the change of the diffusion upper limit will be prominent. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2008,24:197-201)

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of dexamethasone to intracellular free Ca2+ of frozen RPE cells. METHODS:The cultured human RPE cells were frozen for 30s at --70deg;C. The RPE cells were loaded with Fura-2/AM and analyzed using a digital imaging microscopy system,the effect of dexamethasone to intracellular free Ca2+ was measured at a serial concentration of 40, 60,100,150,200mu;g/ml. RESULTS:The concentration of intracellular free Ca in frozen human RPE cells was increased to 18.6%~29.8% by dexamethasone at concenlration of 40mu;g/ml~60mu;g/ml,while was decreased to 28.4%~35.2% at 150mu;g/ml~200mu;g/ml. CONCLUSIONS:Effect of dexamethasone showed two aspects of effect to frozen cultured human RPE ceils,that it was inhibitor at high concentration and stimulator at low concentration (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 86-88)
Objective To study the effects of adenosine 2A receptor activation on activation, proliferation, and toxicity of T lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in vitro. Methods A model of activated T cells was established by stimulating the cells with PHA. Those T cells were treated with different concentrations of adenosine 2A receptors agonist (0.01 μmol/L, 0.1 μmol/L, 1 μmol/L, and 10 μmol/L CGS21680). The expressions of CD69, CD25 and proliferation of T cells were measured by fluorescent antibody stain and flow cytometry. ELISA method was used to detect IL-2 and INF-γ levels. Results All concentrations of CGS21680 significantly inhibited the expressions of CD25 and CD69 on PHA-stimulated T cells surface and proliferation of T cells (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01). IL-2 and INF-γ secreted by T cells were significantly suppressed, too (Plt;0.01). Conclusion Activation of adenosine 2A receptor can effectively inhibit the activation, proliferation, and toxicity of T cells in vitro.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of ultrasound debridement combined with autolytic debridement in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.MethodsA total of 60 diabetic foot ulcers patients who were diagnosed and treated in Jinshan Hospital of Fudan University from April 2019 to April 2020 were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups, with 30 cases in each group. The trial group received autolytic cleansing combined with ultrasound debridement treatment, and the control group only received autolytic debridement treatment. The baseline conditions, wound treatment efficacy, number of dressing changes, length of hospital stay, treatment cost, wound healing time, wound shrinkage rate, and the time required for the wound to turn into 100% red granulation were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, duration of diabetes or Wagner grade of diabetic foot between the two groups (P>0.05). The efficacy of wound healing in the trial group was better than that in the control group (Z=−2.146, P=0.032). The number of dressing changes [(11.76±2.23) vs. (17.34±4.43) times] and the length of stay [(18.03±3.73) vs. (25.43±4.43) d] in the trial group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The difference in treatment cost between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The wound healing time of the trial group [(48.43±18.34) vs. (65.24±19.62) d], the wound shrinkage rate [(78.35±8.34)% vs. (56.53±6.54)%] and the time required for the wound to turn into 100% red granulation [(16.34±2.42) vs. (24.55±3.23) d] were better than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). During the treatment process, no patient in the trial group had wound bleeding and had difficulty in stopping bleeding during ultrasonic debridement, and no patient had intolerable pain related to ultrasonic debridement. No patients in either group withdrew early.ConclusionsUltrasound debridement combined with autolytic debridement can effectively improve the curative effect of patients with diabetic foot ulcers and shorten the wound healing time. Therefore, it is worthy of promotion and application in the wound care of patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of keeping the pancreatic capsule in radical gastrectomy for early stage of gastric cancer. MethodsTwo hundreds and seven patients with early stage of gastric cancer who were treated in our hospital from Jan 2011 to December 2011 were enrolled prospectively, and were divided into experimental group (n=95) and control group (n=112). Patients in experimental group kept the pancreatic capsule in radical gastrec-tomy, but patients in control group didn't keep the pancreatic capsule. Comparison of the clinical effect between the 2 groups was performed. ResultsThe blood loss[(134.1±5.3) mL vs. (150.3±3.7) mL] and operation time[(76.4±5.7) min vs. (87.5±9.1) min]of experimental group were all lower or shorter than those of control group (P<0.05), but there were no significant difference between the 2 groups in incidence of total complication[7.37% (7/95) vs. 10.71% (12/112)], stomal leak[3.16% (3/95) vs. 4.46% (5/112)], and anastomotic stenosis[4.21% (4/95) vs. 6.25% (7/112)], P>0.05. All of the 207 patients were followed-up for 1-36 months, with the median time of 17.5 months. During the follow-up period, in experimental group, there were 30 patients suffered from recurrence, 23 patients suffered from metastasis, and 44 patients died, and the 1-and 3-year survival rates was 84.21% (80/95) and 53.68% (51/95) respectively, 1- and 3-year disease free survival rates was 80.00% (76/95) and 48.42% (46/95) respectively; in control group, there were 37 patients suffered from recurrence, 23 patients suffered from metastasis, and 49 patients died, and the 1-and 3-year survival rates was 85.71% (96/112) and 56.25% (63/112) respectively, 1-and 3-year disease free survival rates was 81.25% (91/112) and 49.11% (55/112) respectively. There were no significant difference in the 1-and 3-year survival rate, 1-and 3-year disease free survival rate (P>0.05). In addition, there were no significant difference in the survival and disease free survival situation (P>0.05). ConclusionsSurvival and disease free survival situation of keeping the pancreatic capsule in radical gastrectomy is similar with traditionally radical gastrectomy, but surgery of keeping the pancreatic capsule in radical gastrectomy has the advantages of less bleeding and shorter operation time, which is worthy of further study.
Objective To observe the effect of resveratrol on multidrug resistance (MDR) in human retinoblastoma cells treated. Methods RB cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into experimental group and control group. RB cells in experimental group were cultured with different concentrations of resveratrol (6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00, 100.00 mu;mol/L) for 24 and 48 hours. The proliferation (absorbance value) was assayed using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). RB cells were cultured with 50.00 mu;mol/L resveratrol for 48 hours. The expressions of MDR-1, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)、multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP-1), glutathione-S-transferases-pi; (GST-pi;) were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. The RB cells of the control group were cultured with 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide. Results Compared with the control group, the absorbance value decreased in experimental groups (6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00 mu;mol/L) in a dose dependent manner (F=4.782,P<0.05). The difference of absorbance value between 50.00 and 100.00 mu;mol/L experimental groups was not significant (F=6.351,P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the mRNA (t=9.170, 5.758, 4.152, 4.638) and protein (t=3.848, 5.955, 4.541, 3.514) expression levels of MDR-1, MRP1, COX-2, and GST-pi; decreased in the experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusion Resveratrol can down-regulate the expression of MDR in RB cells.
Objective To observe visual field outcome and refractive status of patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated by laser photocoagulation. Method The data of 39 ROP patients (73 eyes) who received laser photocoagulation were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 13 normal control subjects (25 eyes) whose age and sex were matched with ROP group. There were 24 males (45 eyes) and 15 females (28 eyes) in ROP group, with an average age of (7.0±1.28) years. The first laser treatment was carried out at postnatal age (PA) of (38.74±3.82) weeks, the birth weight (BW) of (1402.33±369.61) g and the number of laser burns was (517.86±277.40). The control group included 7 females (13 eyes) and 6 males (12 eyes), with an average age of (7.17±0.96) years. The age (t=0.691) and gender (χ2=1.425) were comparable between the two groups (P=0.491, 0.233). The data of patients and controls were retrospectively analyzed including best corrected visual acuity, refractive examination, automated perimetry test. The differences of the mean deviation (MD) of visual field and the spherical equivalent (SE) between these two groups were comparatively observed. ROP patients were divided into no VF loss group (MD≤2 dB) and VF loss group (MD>2 dB), mild VF loss group (MD≤6 dB) and moderate VF loss group (MD>6 dB) according to the results of automated perimetry test, the differences of gestational age (GA), PA, BW, number of laser burns and SE between these groups were comparatively observed. Results The MD in ROP group and control group were 4.87±5.12 dB and 1.27±3.34 dB, respectively; the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=–4.01,P<0.001). The subgroup analysis showed that BW, number of laser burns, and SE were significantly different between no VF loss group and VF loss group (t=2.074, –1.996, –2.162;P=0.042, 0.026, 0.034); while the GA was not significantly different between these two groups (t=1.973,P=0.052). The difference of PA was not statistical significant different between mild VF loss group and moderate VF loss group (t=2.03,P=0.051) and SE was significantly different between the above two groups (t=3.283,P=0.002). For refractive outcomes, the BW and ROP stage correlated with SE significantly (r=–0.304, –0.387;P=0.015, 0.002). The mean BCVA in ROP group was 0.84±0.23, and 59 eyes (91.2%) with BCVA better than 0.5. Conclusion Laser treatment for ROP tends to have less effect on long term refractive status and VF loss, with good visual outcome.
