Objective To measure the tear film lipid layer thickness (LLT) in dry eye patients and investigate the correlations of LLT with ocular surface signs.Methods One hundred and thirty dry eye patients (130 eyes),including 64 meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) patients and 66 non-MGD patients,were included in this study.LLT,break-up time (BUT),fluorescein staining (FL),Marx's line (ML) score and Schirmer I test were performed and examined.The distribution of LLT in different age groups and the correlations between LLT and other examinations were analyzed.Results There was significant difference in LLT among different age groups (P =0.007),while LLT was not significantly different between male and female in each age group (P ＞ 0.05).LLT was positively correlated with age (r =0.334,P ＜ 0.001) and was not correlated with sex (r =0.107,P =0.226).LLT was positively correlated with upper eyelid ML score (r =0.295,P =0.001) and lower eyelid ML score (r =0.233,P =0.008).There was no significant correlation of LLT with BUT,FL or Schirmer Ⅰ test (all P ＞0.05).In the MGD group,there were positive correlations of LLT with upper eyelid ML score and lower eyelid ML score (all r =0.306,P =0.014),and no correlation of LLT with other examinations (all P ＞ 0.05).In the non-MGD group,there was no correlation of LLT with other examinations (all P ＞ 0.05).In a multivariate linear regression analysis,age and upper eyelid ML score were significantly related to LLT (β =0.254,P =0.005 for age and β =0.207,P =0.022 for upper eyelid ML score) in all dry eye patients.Age was the only factor related to LLT (β =0.382,P =0.002) in the MGD group.Upper eyelid ML score and lower eyelid ML score were higher in the MGD group than the non-MGD subgroup (all P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion LLT is positively correlated with age and ML score in dry eye patients.The measurement of tear film LLT,as an auxiliary examination in the diagnosis of dry eye disease,should be analyzed with the influential factors including age.

Objective To explore the level of CD62E+ endothelial microparticles in acute cerebral infarction patients and its relationship with vascular risk factors,degree of severity and prognosis.Methods Seventy patients with acute cerebral infarction and 70 non-cerebral infarction patients (controls),admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to September 2013,were selected in our study; U.S.national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) was performed to evaluate the degree of severity; Barthel index (BI) was used to evaluate the prognosis; the levels of blood lipids,blood glucose,uric acid,fibrinogen (FIB),homocysteine (Hcy),C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) were routinely measured; CD62E+ levels were detected by flow cytometry,and the relationships of CD62E+ level with vascular risk factors,degree of disease and prognosis were analyzed.Results The blood CD62E+ level of patients with acute cerebral infarction ([1.55 ±0.67]microparticle/μL) was significantly higher than that in the control group ([1.01 ±0.66] microparticle/μL,P＜0.05); CD62E+ level in patients with NIHSS scores＞5 ([2.03±0.61] microparticle/μL) was significantly higher than that in patients with NIHSS scores ≤ 5 ([1.25±0.37] microparticle/μL,P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that CD62E+ level was significantly correlated with the stroke severity (NHISS scores,r=0.537,P=0.000) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) level (r=0.327,P=0.006),and negatively correlated with prognosis indicator (r=-0.634,P=0.000); other factors showed no significant correlation.Conclusion CD62E+ microparticle can reflect the severity and prognosis of acute brain infarction,and it may be an important biological marker for clinical application.Besides,the correlation between Lp-PLA2 and CD62E+ means that the level ofCD62E+ micro particles is associated with the stability of athemsclerotic plaques.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of endovascular stent placement to the treatment of intracranial internal carotid artery dissection.Methods Two patients with intracranial internal carotid artery dissection received the treatment of stent placement,and 1 patient with a dissection of the supra clinoid internal carotid artery received conventional anticoagulation treatment.Results Two patients with intracranial internal carotid artery dissection were given treatment of Apollo stent placement,of which 1 patient had improvement of left limb paresis,the score of NIHSS from 3 before operation to 2 after operation; the other one with episodic left limb weakness was not seen any attack after stent placement.Another one patient without stent placement receiving conventional anticoagulation treatment had some improvement of right limb paralysis.Conclusion The treatment of endovascular stent placement to the intracranial internal carotid artery dissection has better clinical efficacy and especially used for those patients with no effect to the conventional anticoagulation treatment.
