Dry eye signs and symptoms in aromatase inhibitor treatment and the relationship with pain

PurposeAromatase inhibitors (AIs) limit the synthesis of oestrogen in peripheral tissues thus lowering levels of oestrogen. The primary aim was to evaluate whether women treated with AIs have altered dry eye symptoms and signs. A sub-aim was to investigate whether symptoms of dry eye in postmenopausal women were associated with symptoms of non-eye pain, ocular pain and self-rated pain perception.MethodsThis cross-sectional, observational, single visit study recruited 56 postmenopausal women (mean age 64.1 + 7.9 years) and 52 undergoing AI treatment (mean age 66.6 + 9.0). Ocular symptoms (OSDI, MGD14) and pain questionnaires (PSQ, OPAS) were administered and signs of dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction were evaluated.ResultsAlmost half of each group reported dry eye symptoms, defined as OSDI>12 (48% control, 46% AI). The PSQ score was significantly higher in the AI group (p = 0.04). Neither frequency or severity of dry eye (or MGD) symptoms scores were significantly different between groups. In the AI group, meibomian gland expressibility score was worse (p = 0.003); there were no differences in any other signs. Higher OSDI scores were associated with higher OPAS eye-pain scores (r = 0.49, p < 0.001), but not OPAS non-eye pain (r = 0.09, p = 0.35). Pain perception (PSQ) showed a moderate positive association with OPAS eye-pain (r = 0.30, p = 0.003).ConclusionsIn this study elevated ocular symptoms were observed in both the AI treated and the untreated groups, with no difference between the groups. Women undergoing AI treatment for early stage breast cancer had worse meibum expressibility score and increased pain perception compared to an untreated group of women.

Association Study of Matrix Metalloproteinases Gene Polymorphisms with Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Meta-Analysis

Objective: Association of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) gene polymorphisms with rheumatoid arthritis is controversial. We conduct a meta-analysis to clarify this dispute.

Methods: We systematically searched the electronic PUBMED, EMBASE and CNKI databases for research articles about MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9) gene polymorphisms and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) up to January 2015. According to the heterogeneity, fixed-effects or random-effects models were used to calculate crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).

Results: A total of 11 articles involving 2143 cases and 2049 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significant associations were observed between MMP-1-1607 1G/2G polymorphism and RA. Stratification by ethnicity, no significant associations were observed in Caucasian populations. Similarly, no significant associations were observed between MMP-3-1171 5A/6A, MMP-9-1562 C/T polymorphisms and RA in overall and Caucasian populations, respectively. However, a weak association was found between MMP-2-1306 C/T polymorphism and RA (C vs. T, OR?=?0.813, 95%CI?=?0.694–0.953, p?=?0.010) in overall populations.

Conclusions: The present meta-analysis suggests that MMP-1-1607 1G/2G, MMP-3-1171 5A/6A, MMP-9-1562 C/T polymorphisms are not associated with the susceptibility of RA, but MMP-2 -1306 C/T is weakly associated with susceptibility to RA. Further studies with more sample size are needed for definitive conclusions.     

单纯 Ilizarov 环形外固定技术治疗合并骨筋膜室综合征的胫骨平台骨折

目的探讨单纯 Ilizarov 环形外固定技术治疗合并骨筋膜室综合征的胫骨平台骨折的疗效。方法2013 年 9 月—2017 年 3 月，收治 30 例合并骨筋膜室综合征的胫骨平台骨折患者，采用单纯 Ilizarov 环形外固定技术治疗。男 23 例，女 7 例；年龄 23～43 岁，平均 34.4 岁。致伤原因：交通事故伤 12 例，高处坠落伤 4 例，摔伤 8 例，重物砸伤 6 例。受伤至入院时间 1～12 h，平均 4.8 h。骨折 Schatzker 分型：Ⅱ型 1 例、Ⅲ型 3 例、Ⅳ型 10 例、Ⅴ型 7 例、Ⅵ型 9 例。30 例均因骨筋膜室综合征行切开减压；切开减压至手术时间为 10～15 d，平均 12.5 d。治疗后采用膝关节学会评分系统（KSS）及 Ilizarov 方法研究与应用协会（ASAMI）协议评价膝关节功能。结果手术时间 110～155 min，平均 123.1 min；术中出血量 100～500 mL，平均 245 mL；术后住院时间 3～5 d，平均 3.8 d。患者均获随访，随访时间 20～24 周，平均 22.7 周。除 2 例患者出现针道感染征象外，无其他并发症发生。X 线片复查显示骨折均愈合，愈合时间 10～20 周，平均 14.6 周。末次随访时，膝关节 KSS 临床评分总分为 70～95 分，平均 87.5 分；功能评分总分为 70～90 分，平均 79.0 分。参照 ASAMI 协议评价获优 24 例、良 3 例、可 2 例、差 1 例。结论对于合并骨筋膜室综合征的胫骨平台骨折，单纯 Ilizarov 环形外固定技术治疗后患者关节功能可以基本恢复且并发症少，是一项相对安全、有效的治疗方法。     

Perfusion pressure flow study in the upper urinary tract

Hydronephrosis with an undetermined pathology is a common condition detected in imaging studies. In urological clinical practice, it is a persistent dilemma to predict whether this condition will progress to result in the deterioration of renal function. Perfusion pressure flow study of the upper urinary tract, known as the Whitaker test, provides an alternative diagnostic tool for solving this condition. Perfusion pressure flow study has been criticized for its invasiveness, nonphysiological approach, and inconsistency in predicting outcomes. However, it continues to be used to evaluate difficult or equivocal cases and to provide an objective assessment of the upper urinary tract.     

CO2点阵激光早期控制唇裂二期整复术后瘢痕的疗效观察

目的观察比较CO₂点阵激光早期控制唇裂术后二期整复术术区瘢痕的临床疗效。方法治疗组为43例接受唇裂术后鼻唇畸形二期整复术的患者，早期采用CO₂点阵激光治疗，对照组为70例曾接受一期唇裂手术的患者，对两组6个月后的瘢痕恢复情况进行比较；分析术后距离激光开始治疗时间的长短，性别两因素对激光治疗瘢痕疗效的差异。结果1）治疗组的疗效优于对照组（P<0.000 1），治疗组中显效和有效所组成的总有效率达90.7%；2）男女疗效差异无统计学意义（P=0.487），手术后1年内的患者，手术后距离开始瘢痕治疗的时间<3个月与≥3个月之间，疗效无明显统计学差异（P=0.055）。结论CO₂点阵激光在唇裂二期整复术术后瘢痕的治疗中具有较为确切的疗效。且与患者的性别无明显相关性。手术后1年内的患者，术后距离开始瘢痕治疗的时间<3个月和≥3个月疗效无差异，因此在唇裂二期手术后的1年内早期对瘢痕进行干预可获得良好的效果。
