To determine the anatomical and visual outcomes of retinal detachment in eyes with chorioretinal coloboma managed by pars plana vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation and silicone oil (SO) tamponade.

Retrospective review of 29 eyes of 29 patients with retinal detachment associated with chorioretinal coloboma. All the cases were managed by vitrectomy procedures concluding with SO tamponade. Encircling band was placed based on pre-operative evaluation and/or surgeon's discretion. Endolaser photocoagulation was applied around the peripheral retina, all around the peripheral breaks and around the colobomatous area. The outcome measures were evaluated with regard to functional and anatomical success.

The average age at the time of surgery was 21.76 ± 9.58 years (range, 10-50 years). The mean follow-up duration was 12.28 ± 4.8 months (range, 6-24 months). Primary attached retina was obtained in 21 / 29 (72.4%) eyes after single surgery. Re-detachment in 8 / 29 (27.6%) eyes which required revision surgery was the most frequent postoperative complication followed by raised intraocular pressure in 4 / 29 (13.8%) with SO in situ. Out of 29 eyes, 23 were followed up after the removal of SO. The mean duration of SO removal was 7.91 ± 3.9 months (range, 4-18 months). Implantation of encircling band, lens removal and cryotherapy provided no added advantage. At the final examination, improvement in vision was observed in 21 (72.4%) eyes and the anatomical attachment of the retina was attained in 27 (93.1%) eyes.

Complete pars plana vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation along with SO tamponade is effective for retinal detachment associated with chorioretinal coloboma. This technique improves the anatomical outcome and helps in regaining significant visual acuity.

To review the occurrence of new solitary tumors during and after intravenous chemotherapy against retinoblastoma.

From 115 eyes of 78 patients with a diagnosis of intraocular retinoblastoma who underwent intravenous chemotherapy and focal treatment without prior treatment, patient demographics, age at diagnosis, laterality, classification (Reese-Ellsworth and International Classification of Retinoblastoma), and treatment options were recorded. In addition, the occurrence of small tumors during and after chemotherapy was documented with a detailed review of medical records and fundus photographs.

Of a total of 115 eyes of 78 consecutive patients, new solitary tumors were observed in 50 eyes (50 / 115, 43%) of 40 patients (40 / 78, 51%). Multinominal logistic regression analyses showed that age at diagnosis (before 1 year) and vitreal seeding at diagnosis were linked to the development of isolated and miliary tumors, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analyses demonstrated that all small tumors developed with 20 months from the start of chemotherapy. Twenty-eight eyes (28 / 34, 82%) were salvaged with additional focal treatment in 34 eyes with isolated tumors.

Small tumors were observed during and after chemotherapy against retinoblastoma in patients who underwent intravenous chemotherapy and focal treatment. It is necessary to promptly identify and address small tumors for the preservation of eyeball and vision.

The researches on them are also insufficient. Editions of Medical Collection are very complex. Since there coexist early editions, later revised editions and enlarged editions. Ma's Medical Theories was serialized in Shaoxing Medicine Journal during the Republic of China. On this foundation, related collation works come out constantly and additions and deletions between inscription and transcription editions are complicated. Stylistic rules and layout of Medical Collection and Ma's Medical Theories are consistent and they have a lot in common while their differences are also obvious. Numerous evidences show that Ma's Medical Theories may be one of sources of Medical Collection. Discussion of relations of the two books helps to deepen understanding completion process of Medical Collection and Ma's change of academic thoughts.Three volumes of Shiyi Xinjian, written by Zan Yin of Tang Dynasty, contains the theories and prescriptions of food treatment in various branches, which have far-reaching influence on food treatment and clinical treatment. The book was written in the 9th century A. D. as a dietary therapy prescription. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the book of Shiyi Xinjian was still surviving. It has been cited in Taiping Shenghuifang Shizhi, Yanglao Fengqinshu, Zhenglei Bencao(, Classified Materia Medica from Historical Classics for Emergency) and Shengji Zonglu Shizhimen. see more After the Jingkang Incident, the book was rare, and even may have been lost. Until the Ming Dynasty, the book was completely disappeared in China. However, there are some Quotes in the book Zhenglei Bencao and other books, and the contents of this book are still often cited by later medical books. After that, the Japanese collected 211 prescriptions of Shiyi Xinjian from Euibangyoochui in Korea. Luo Zhenyu brought them back to China and published them in the Dongfang Xuehui in 1924, which made the Shiyi Xinjian appear in a separate volume in China for the first time since it was lost, which promoted the spread of the book in China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of the scholars collected it again, which improved the content of the book.Zhejiang Wukang sanatorium evolved from Hangchow C. M.S. Hospital, which was founded in 1887. It is the leprosy prevention and treatment center of Zhejiang Province after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Most of the leprosy patients (convalescents)in sanatoriums entered the hospital successively in 1960s. Due to the limitation of dapsone monotherapy and the poor living conditions, the convalescents need to receive long-term isolation treatment and engage in collective production. After the implementation of Reform and Opening-up policy, the leprosy patients' health care has been greatly improved. The leprosy prevention and treatment course has been gradually reduced; the widespread knowledge of leprosy gradually freed leprosy patients from the dilemma of being stigmatized. In the post-leprosy era, Wukang sanatorium changed from the original focus on disease treatment to strengthening the psychological construction of patients. Its function changed from isolation and prevention to rest and pension, and the status of leprosy patients changed from "patients" to "convalescents" .
