BACKGROUND Lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma (LGPA) is the most common clinically benign epithelial tumor of the lacrimal gland and is predominantly comprised of epithelial cells and interstitial components. At present, the exact pathogenesis of LGPA remains unclear. Previous research has indicated that the occurrence of LGPA may be related to excessive cell proliferation.

Lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs) of the ocular adnexa encompass the majority of orbital diseases and include reactive follicular hyperplasia (RFH), atypical lymphoid hyperplasia (ALH), and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma). Lymphoid follicles (LFs) are usually observed during the histological examination of LPDs. Currently, because there is a lack of specific clinical signs and diagnostic immunohistochemical biomarkers, it is difficult for pathologists to distinguish MALToma from ocular RFH and ALH, which makes the clinical management of these conditions difficult.

Objective: To investigate the safety of treatment with ophthalmic artery cannulation for intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for children with intraocular retinoblastoma (RB).

Method: In the RB Treatment Center of General Hospital of Armed Police Forces between January 2009 and September 2011, 42 patients who were diagnosed intraocular RB and treated with ophthalmic artery cannulation for IAC, 8 patients were treated 1 circle, 31 patients were treated 2 circles and 3 patients were treated 3 circles (total, 96 times). Each month had IAC once.

Objective: To evaluate the type, clinical features and diagnostic methods of orbital metastatic tumors.

Methods: In a retrospective study, the records of 30 consecutive cases with orbital metastatic tumors as confirmed by pathologic examination were analyzed with special attention to the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and imaging findings.

Results: Most orbital metastatic tumors in China originated from the breast, followed, in order, by the lung and liver.

Objective: To study the biological characteristics of orbital meningiomas using histological and immunohistochemistrical analysis.

Methods: 19 specimens taking from orbital meningiomas were included in the study. HE staining was used for histology analysis and the immunohistochemistry was applied to demonstrate the expression of Vimentin, EMA, Ki-67, p53 in the tissue of orbital meningiomas.

Objective: To optimize the ultrasonic extraction condition for flavonoids from Chrysanthemum morifolium.

Method: The extraction rate of flavonoids optimized condition (ethanol concentration, ultrasonic time, solvent quantity and extraction times) was determined by orthogonal design. UV-Spectrophotometry was used for the determination.

Objective: To ascertain extraction technology condition for extract and flavonoids from Chrysanthum morifoliwn.

Method: The optimizing ultrasonic extraction condition on the basis of extractive yield and flavonoids were determined by orthogonal design.

Result: The order of factors which affected the flavonoid extraction was extraction times > ethanol concentration > ultrasonic time > solvent quantity.
