The treatment of malignant glaucoma in nanophthalmos: a case report.

Background: The management of eyes with nanophthalmos is a dilemma for ophthalmologists due to various complications, especial the eye with malignant glaucoma. We report a case of effective treatment for malignant glaucoma in nanophthalmos.

Case Presentation: An 82-year-old man was performed phacoemulsification in the right eye with normal ocular pressure and nanophthalmos.

Tai Chi Chuan in postsurgical non-small cell lung cancer patients: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Impairment of exercise capacity remains a common adverse effect of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survivors after surgery. Previous research has suggested that Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) offers an exercise capacity benefit in several types of cancers. This is a randomized trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of TCC in postoperative NSCLC patients over an observation period of 3 months and a 9-month follow-up.

Protective effects of ginseng total saponins against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury in experimental obstructive jaundice rats.

Context: Ginseng, the root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae), is one of the most extensively used herbs for stroke and chronic debilitating conditions in East Asian countries.

Antiviral effects of modified dingchuan decoction against respiratory syncytial virus infection in vitro and in an immunosuppressive mouse model.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Modified dingchuan decoction (MDD) is used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cough, chronic bronchitis, asthma and viral pneumonia.

Aim Of The Study: To investigate antiviral potentials of MDD in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infected mice.

Materials And Methods: MDD and each component were evaluated for antiviral efficacy against RSV in vitro in cell culture.

Synergistic interaction between total glucosides and total flavonoids on chronic constriction injury induced neuropathic pain in rats.

Context: Shaoyao Gancao Decoction (SGD), a famous herbal medicine, consists of two herbs (Paeoniae Radix and Glycyrrhizae Radix) and is traditionally used for the treatment of pain.

Objective: To investigate the synergistic potential of total glucosides of Paeoniae Radix (TGP) and total flavonoids of Glycyrrhizae Radix (TFL).

Materials And Methods: Oral administration of TGP and TFL alone at the doses of 60,120 and 240 mg/kg or in combination were given only one time to the neuropathic pain rat induced by chronic constriction injury.

Ankylosing spondylitis combined with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma.

The authors present the report of an ankylosing spondylitis combined with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma after the anti-tumour necrosis factor treatment.

[Plasma metabonomics study of systemic lupus erythematosus based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry].

A rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry method (RRLC-Q-TOF/MS) was used to analyze metabolic fingerprint of the plasma samples from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Supervised pattern recognition methods combined with orthogonal signal correction partial least square-discriminate analysis (OSC-PLS-DA) were used to process the metabolic data. A nice distinction between SLE patients and healthy control group was observed.
