Objective To observe the changes of disease course and the prognosis of visual acuity of Chinese patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy ( PCV).Methods Visual acuity and fundus photochromes of 20 eyes of 15 consec utive patients with PCV were followed up with a mean of 19.1 months (range from 2 to 64 months), in which the fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) of 14 eyes of 10 patients were followed up with a mean of 21.0 (range from 3 to 53) months.Results Among the 20 eyes, the visual acuity was more than 0.3 in 5 eyes (25.0%), between 0.1 and 0.2 in 6 (30%) and less than 0.1 in 9 (45.0%). During the follow-up, the visual acuity was improved in 2 (10.0%), stable in 10 (50.0%)), and regressed in 8 (40.0%). Only 1 eye (5.0 %) developed to macula scar. The result of ICGA revealed the polypoidal lesions that were unchanged in 4 eyes(28.6%), regressed in 2 (14.3%), grew in 6 (42.7%), repeatedly grew and spontaneously regressed in 6 (42.7%).Conclusions There is a large variation in the visual prognosis in Chinese patients with PCV. The polypoidal lesions can repeatedly grow and spontaneously regress in the natural course. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2004，20：8-11)
Objective To explore the protective mechanism and effect of coenzyme Q10 on the retinal photic injury in experimental rats. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into 3 groups: normal control group, positive control group, and coenzyme Q10 group. The experimental model of photic injury in rats was established by being exposed to intense green fluorescent light with an illuminance level of (2000plusmn;120) Lux for 24 hours. The physiological saline and coenzyme Q10 were given through tail intravenous injection at 24 hours and 30 min before light exposure in positive control group and coenzyme Q10 group, respectively. Ophthalmectomy was performed 1 day after the illumination. Changes of retinal histopathology and ultrastructure were observed by light and electron microscope. The apoptosis rate of retinal cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results The result of histopathological examination showed that in coenzyme Q10 group, the outer segments arranged trimly with only few cell apoptosis; the inner and outer segments slightly swelled, and compared with the positive group, the histopathological changes alleviated obviously. The result of flow cytometry revealed that the apoptosis rate of retinal cells was (1.65plusmn;1.48)% in normal control group, (25.83plusmn;2.92)% in positive control group, and (12.43plusmn;2.25)% in coenzyme Q10 group, respectively. The apoptosis rate of retinal cells was higher in positive control group than that in the normal control group (t=18.28, Plt;0.01), and lower in coenzyme Q10 group than that in the positive control group (t=9.07, Plt;0.01). Conclusion Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in preventing the photic injury of retina and optic cell apoptosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2007, 23: 122-125)
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of thymalfasin (Tα1) as an adjuvant therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after surgery.MethodsPatients with HBV-related HCC who underwent hepatectomy from February 2007 to December 2015 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu Military General Hospital, or the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively collected and divided into the Tα1 group and the observation group. Log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier curve were used to assess the overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and safety of patients. A Markov model was used to calculate the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the Tα1 group compared with the observation group. Cost data was from the hospital information system of the three hospitals. Utility scores mainly came from published data. Sensitivity analyses were applied to explore the impact of essential variables.ResultsA total of 208 patients with HCC after liver resection were enrolled, among them 48 received Tα1 treatment (the Tα1 group) and 160 were only followed up (the observation group). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the baseline characteristics. The median overall survival of the Tα1 group and the observation group was 102.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI) (74.8, 129.2) months] and 81.6 months [95%CI (65.7, 97.6) months], respectively, and the difference was statisitically significant (P=0.047); the median recurrence-free survival was 66.7 months [95%CI (17.3, 116.1) months] and 37.4 months [95%CI (28.7, 46.2) months], respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.044). There were no grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ adverse events and no treatment-related death occurred. The ICER of Tα1 group was ￥108 050.02/QALY, which was less than the willingness to pay (￥177 785.25/QALY).ConclusionsTα1, as an adjuvant therapy for HBV-related HCC patients, can improve the prognosis of the patients, and the cost is within the acceptable level in our country, so this strategy is likely to be a cost-effective option compared with the observation group.

Methods The mental health of 153 policemen working in a juvenile reformatory were assessed by using symptom checklist (SCL)-90 and short form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) in May, 2010. The data was compared with norm and other relative data, such as SCL-90 China norm, norm revised in 1999, SCL-90 of judicial police in Beijing, etc. Results The positive rate of SCL-90 of policemen in reformatory was 57.5%. The total score and factor score of SCL-90 were significantly higher than that of the China norm revised in 1999. Furthermore, compared with the judicial policemen in Beijing, except for the interpersonal sensitivity and paranoid ideation, the total score and other factor scores were significantly higher. The SCL-90 total score and various factors of the males were significantly higher than that of the females. The score of the guards was higher than that of charging of quarters and management. In youth (less than 35 years old) depression, paranoid ideation, psychoticism factor scores were significantly higher than that in the middle-aged groups. SF-36 factor score of the reformatory police was significantly lower than that of Sichuan resident in 1998, and also the policemen in Shanghai Public Security Bureau in 2005. And SF-36 factor score of the reformatory policemen had a significant negative correlation with the total score and every factor score of SCL-90. Conclusion We should pay attention to the juvenile reformatory policemen’s mental health and and improve it.
