PERSISTENT SUBRETINAL FLUID AFTER VITRECTOMY FOR MACULAR HOLE-ASSOCIATED RETINAL DETACHMENT.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, associated factors, and outcome of persistent subretinal fluid (SRF) after vitrectomy for macular hole-associated retinal detachment (MHRD).

Methods: A total of 158 eyes from 156 patients with MHRD who achieved macular hole closure after primary vitrectomy were included in the analysis; persistent SRF was defined as the presence of SRF for more than 1 month after first surgery. Preoperative and postoperative parameters were analyzed for their relationship with SRF development.

MiR-92a inhibits fibroblast-like synoviocyte proliferation and migration in rheumatoid arthritis by targeting AKT2.

Growing data have indicated that the miR-17-92 cluster is implicated in inflammatory response and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was aimed to investigate the effects of miR-92a on the proliferation and migration of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs). Our results showed that miR-92a was significantly down-regulated in RA synovial tissue and RA-FLSs, whereas the protein level of AKT2 is increased.

[Case-control studies on double bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with remnant fiber preservation].

Objective: To study the clinical efficacy of double bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation.

Methods: From January 2007 to November 2011, 50 patients with PCL rupture met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: remnant preservation group (RP group) and remnant resection group (RR group). There were 19 males and 7 females in the RP group, ranging in age from 18 to 55 years, with a mean of (32.
