EGFR expression as a predictive marker in esophageal squamous cell cancer:Review article

Esophageal cancer（ EC ） is a highly aggressive disease and 8＇h leading cause of death worldwide. Squamous cell cancer is the main histological type in China. Recent improvements in both surgical techniques and adju- vant/neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy approaches have increased the survival of patients with the loco- regional disease. However, most of the patients with EC have advanced disease either at diagnosis or at follow-up. Despite recent advances in the treatment, these patients still do poorly. Over expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor in esophageal the role of epidermal growth cancer is associated with poor prognosis. However, very few researches have examined factor receptor（EGFR） in prediction and therapeutic sensitivity to esophageal squamous cell cancer（ESCC）. If pretherapeutic identification of esophageal squamous cell cancer which does not re- spond to chemoradiotherapy （CRT） can be done, it will help to improve the outcome of patients by selecting responders to treatment. In this review we describe the predictive significance of EGFR expression in ESCC.     

Risk of gonadoblastoma in female patients with Y chromosome abnormalities and dysgenetic gonads

We report two female patients with gonadal dysgenesis and sex chromosome mosaicism involving the Y chromosome. Conventional karyotyping was supplemented with fluorescent in situ hybridisation techniques in order to confirm the presence of Y chromosomes. One patient is a phenotypic female with karyotype 45,X/46,X,idic(Y)(q11.2). She underwent a laparoscopic gonadectomy at which streak ovaries without evidence of gonadoblastoma were removed. The second patient presented as a virilised female with karyotype 45,X/47,XYY. At laparoscopy, she was found to have mixed gonadal dysgenesis with a gonadoblastoma in situ. We recommend early gonadectomy in female children presenting with gonadal dysgenesis and the presence of a Y chromosome although once the gonadoblastoma locus on Y chromosome gene has been cloned it may be possible to identify those patients who have a low risk of developing gonadoblastoma.     

High-definition imaging of trabeculectomy blebs using spectral domain optical coherence tomography adapted for the anterior segment

Background:  The aim of this work was to image trabeculectomy blebs using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT).
Methods:  In this prospective cross-sectional study, patients who had undergone trabeculectomy with at least 3 months of follow up were included. Blebs were imaged using an adapted SDOCT system (Cirrus HD-OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Dublin, CA, USA) and time domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) (Visante OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc.). An observer masked to clinical data assessed the utility of SDOCT and ASOCT in visualizing structures in successful and failed blebs.
Results:  Fifty-one eyes were imaged, of which 43 (84.3%) were successful. SDOCT showed wall thickening (93.0% vs. 67.4%, P  = 0.006) and discrete hyporeflective spaces in the wall (88.4% vs. 14.0%, P  < 0.0001) in a greater proportion of successful blebs than ASOCT. SDOCT showed the bleb cavity (23.3% vs. 48.8%, P  = 0.02), scleral flap (34.9% vs. 90.7%, P  < 0.0001), subflap space (20.9% vs . 72.1%, P  < 0.0001) and ostium (9.3% vs. 88.4%, P  < 0.0001) in fewer successful blebs than ASOCT. The internal ostium was not visualized in any failed bleb using SDOCT, whereas ASOCT showed the ostium in 87.5% of failed blebs ( P  = 0.001). SDOCT showed cystic spaces in the bleb wall in a greater proportion of successful blebs than failed blebs (88.4% vs. 37.5%, P  = 0.005).
Conclusions:  SDOCT imaging was able to show fine superficial features in the bleb wall. However, SDOCT had limited clinical utility in that it did not provide useful information about deep features such as flap position, bleb cavity formation or patency of the subflap space and internal ostium.

6-取代苯基-3(2H)哒嗪酮的合成、抗惊活性及其构效关系的研究

本文报道了14个6-取代苯基-4,5-二氢-3(2H)哒嗪酮和15个6-取代苯基-3(2H)哒嚎酮的合成及其抗电惊活性。其ED50值表明,以2′,4′-二氯苯基-3(2H)哒嗪酮的抗惊作用为最强。构效分析表明,苯环上的取代基对化合物的抗惊活性有明显影响,吸电子取代基和疏水性参数值较大的取代基有利于提高化合物的抗惊活性。     

Intraocular Lens Techniques in Pediatric Eyes with Insufficient Capsular Support: Complications and Outcomes

ABSTRACT

Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric eyes with insufficient capsular support is challenging and there are multiple IOL options. These include placement of an IOL within the capsular bag with a capsular tension ring, a scleral-fixated posterior-chamber IOL (PCIOL) with or without capsular tension segment or ring, an intra-scleral fixated IOL, an iris-sutured PCIOL, or an anterior chamber iris-fixated IOL. We reviewed 48 articles and 1 published abstract describing the surgical techniques, complications and visual outcomes of different IOL options in the management of aphakic pediatric eyes with insufficient capsular support. The present review found that the visual acuity outcomes of various IOLs are comparable. Furthermore, each IOL design and surgical technique has different rates of serious complications, including IOL dislocation or decentration, intraocular hemorrhage, glaucoma, endothelial cell loss, and endophthalmitis. An understanding of the risks and benefits of different IOL designs is important for counseling patients and families.     

辛夷挥发油的抗炎、抗过敏作用

辛夷挥发油腹腔注射(50,100mg/kg)能明显对抗二甲苯所致小鼠耳廓肿和蛋清所致的大鼠足跖肿。辛夷挥发油(20,30,40mg/ml)能对抗SRS-A、HA所致的豚鼠离体回肠的收缩作用,并能对抗致敏豚鼠回肠的过敏性收缩,这证明辛夷挥发油具有明显的抗炎、抗过敏作用。
