The comparison of clinical and biological characteristics between IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in gliomas.

Background: Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) are frequent in low-grade gliomas and secondary glioblastomas (sGBM). Because they yield the same oncometabolite, D-2-hydroxyglutarate, they are often treated as equivalent and pooled. The objective of this study was to provide insight into the differences between IDH1 and IDH2 mutant gliomas.

[Dynamic Wavelength Characteristics of Semiconductor Laser in Electric Current Tuning Process].

In order to measure the dynamic wavelength of semiconductor lasers under current tuning, an improved method of fi- ber delay self-heterodyne interferometer was proposed. The measurement principle, as well the beat frequency and dynamic wavelength of recursive relations are theoretically analyzed. The application of the experimental system measured the dynamic wavelength characteristics of distributed feedback semiconductor laser and the static wavelength characteristics measurement by the spectrometer.

Association of ERCC1 and ERCC2 polymorphisms with colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population.

The ERCC1 and ERCC2 genes are important in repairing DNA damage and genomic instability, and are involved in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ERCC1 and ERCC2 are associated with the risk of colorectal cancer in a Chinese population. To test this hypothesis, we genotyped four functional SNPs (ERCC1 Asn118Asn, C8092A, ERCC2 Asp312Asn, and Lys751Gln) in a case-control study with 213 colorectal cancer cases and 240 cancer-free controls.

Objective: To study the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of malignant glaucoma in a 5-year retrospective analysis in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC).

Methods: Medical records of 5-year malignant glaucoma patients in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were reviewed retrospectively. Patients' age, gender, original disease, duration before attack, axial length and the change of depth of anterior chamber, intraocular pressure and visual acuity before and after therapy and at final follow-up were checked and analyzed.

Comparison of combined phacotrabeculectomy with trabeculectomy only in the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Background: Trabeculectomy has become a mainstream treatment in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction for primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG); combined trabeculectomy and cataract surgery was reported to reduce IOP and simultaneously improve vision for patients with PACG and coexisting cataract. This study was specialized to compare the efficacy and safety of combined phacotrabeculectomy with that of trabeculectomy only in the treatment of PACG with coexisting cataract.

Methods: This is a comparative case series study.

[Efficacy, safety and tolerance of Felodipine controlled release tablets and Felodipine controlled release tablets associated combination therapy in the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension in China].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerance of Felodipine controlled release tablets and Felodipine controlled release tablets associated combination each with Metoprolol, Lisinopril or Hydrochlorothiazide in the 12 weeks treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension in China.

Methods: Multicenter, random samples, and open study have been processed.

Results: (1)After 12 weeks associated combination treatment of anti-hypertension, the percentages of the persons who had attained the target were 80.

Study on insulin resistance and genetic polymorphisms in essential hypertension patients of two different kinds of TCM constitution.

Objective: To investigate the relationship of insulin resistance and the polymorphisms of insulin receptor-related genes in essential hypertension patients of two different kinds of TCM constitution.

Methods: Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin release test (InRT) were conducted in 217 essential hypertensive patients of either sluggish meticulous (SM) constitution (139 cases) or prosperous impetuous (PI) constitution (78 cases), and the polymorphism of three genes, including insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and 2 (IRS-2) genes were detected.

Results: (1) OGTT, InRT and insulin resistance index (Homa-IR) were higher and insulin sensitive index (ISI) was lower in the patients of SM constitution than those in patients of PI constitution.

[Modified viscocanalostomy for the surgical treatment with primary open angle glaucoma].

Objective: To compare the clinical outcome of trabeculectomy with viscocanalostomy in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: 100 patients (100 eyes) with uncontrolled POAG were randomly assigned to either trabeculectomy group (50 eyes) or viscocanalostomy (VCO) group (50 eyes) and followed up for average 28 months. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with a non-contact Topcon CT80 tonometer.
