ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current situation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in infants in Lishui, and summarize the related factors of CMV infection, evaluate its influence on the growth and development of infants, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of CMV infection.Methods:In this study, 2 254 cases of infants admitted in pediatric ward in Lishui Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Qingtian County People′s Hospital, Suichang County People′s Hospital, Qingyuan County People′s Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 with integral clinical data were selected. All the babies were followed up from the time when they were born to 1 year old. The serum CMV antibody and the urine CMV-DNA were screened, the general situation and clinical features of CMV infection were summarized, and the relevant factors of infants CMV infection were analyzed and screened by the single factor and multiple factors analysis. They were followed up to 1 year old to clarify the influence of CMV infection on the growth and development of infants.Results:From 2015 to 2017, the total positive infection rate of CMV-IgM in infants under 1 year old in Lishui was 10.43%(235/2 254), and CMV-IgM positive infection decreased year by year. The positive rate of CMV-IgG did not change significantly with time. The positive rate of CMV-IgM was the highest at 1—3 months, and up to 15.29% (61/399). The positive rate of CMV-IgM decreased with the age of the babies. The positive rate of CMV-IgG increased with the age of the babies. The positive rate of CMV-IgM in infants showed no significant difference in gender ( P>0.05). The positive rate of CMV-IgM was higher in men than that in women [65.43% (810/1 238) vs. 55.51% (564/1 016)], and there was significant difference ( P<0.05). The gestational age of the infected group was lower than that of the non-infected group [(37.41 ± 1.63) weeks vs. (38.97 ± 0.97) weeks], and the breast-feeding rate of the infected group was higher than that of the non-infected group [57.87%(136/235) vs. 40.00%(40/100)], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Thrombocytopenia, the increase of transaminase, necrotizing enterocolitis of newborn, and hepatosplenomegaly of infected group is higher that of the non-infected group [18.72%(44/235) vs. 1.00% (1/100), 29.36% (69/235) vs. 13.00% (13/100), 26.81% (63/235) vs. 10.00% (10/100), 9.79% (23/235) vs. 0], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Gestational age and breast-feeding were possible risk factors for CMV infection in infants under 1 year old ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in height, weight, head circumference and intelligence score between the infected group and the non-infected group at the age of 1 year ( P>0.05). The total abnormal rate of hearing development and the abnormal detection rate of B-ultrasound in the infected group were higher than those in the non-infected group [13.62%(64/470) vs. 1.00%(2/200), 6.38%(15/235) vs. 0], and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The CMV active infection rate of infants under 1 year old in Lishui is relatively high and decreases year by year. It decreases with the prolongation of birth time, and there is no gender difference. Gestational age and breast-feeding are the risk factors for active CMV infection in infants. CMV infection affects the hearing development and the brain development of infants under 1 year old, which is the main cause of hepatitis. It is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of CMV infection, strengthen maternal perinatal health care, and strengthen the screening of CMV infection in high-risk groups.

ABSTRACT
Purpose of this study was to validate that Subtenon [SB] Triamcinolone [TA] injection is an alternative to Intravitreal [IV] Triamcinolone [TA] injection for the treatment of diabetic macular edema [DME]. Forty eyes were selected having DME due to type 1 or type 2 diabetes. All the patients were treated with photocoagulation. IVTA was administered in one eye and SBTA in following eye of same patient. Improvement in visual acuity, macular edema and intraocular pressure was assessed before treatment and on 2[nd], 4[th], 8[th] and 12[th] week after treatment. After administration of IVTA, MVA was reduced from baseline value [0.805 +/- 0.069Log/MAR] to [0.577 +/- 0.091 Log/MAR, p < 0.001] at the end of treatment. Similar results were observed after SBTA administration. MVA was reduced from [0.814 +/- 0.082Log/MAR] to [0.49 +/- 0.080 Log/MAR, p < 0.001] at 12th week. After IVTA injection Central macular thickness was significantly reduced to [246.8 +/- 25 microm, p < 0.001] from [390.5 +/- 17 microm]. There were no significant [p=0.51] difference in both eyes receiving different routes of same treatment. After SBTA injection CMT was significantly reduced to lower values [241.5 +/- 27 microm, p < 0.001] from [394.4 +/- 21 microm]. Intraocular pressure after IVTA administration was high [2.32 +/- 0.72 mm/Hg, p=0.04] as compared to baseline [1.82 +/- 0.94 mm/Hg]. Similar pattern was also seen after SBTA administration but to significant extent. Elevation of IoP was observed in both eyes. Subtenon Triamcinolone injection is an alternative to Intravitreal Triamcinolone Injection for Diabetic Macular Edema

Background The combination procedure of the removal of silicon oil and cataract extraction+intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the main method of treating cataract in silicone oil tamponade eye.However,the conventional measuring method of the IOL power is limiting in eyes with silicone oil tamponade.The IOL-Master system is confirmed to be an ideal non-contact optical measuring instrument in vivo.Objective The aim of this study is to measure the preoperative IOL power,evaluate the accuracy of biometry with the IOL-Master system and compare the relationship between different factors and refractive error.Methods IOL power was measured in 29 silicone oil tamponade eyes of 29 patients prior to the silicone oil removal combining IOL implantation with the IOL-Master system according to different factors such as placement time,axis oculi,complications and so on.The reasons of visual acuity recovery and measurement error were discussed.Results Postoperative visual acuity was improved in all of the patients.The average predictive refractive error was 0.329±0.846 (-1.5--2D).Classified factors for the cause of disease for axis oculi included rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD)(t=0.478,P=0.637),macular hole(t=0.135,P=0.895),myopia(t=0.435,P=0.667)and oil-placed time (good for less than 1 year).These factors showed an indirect relationship with errors.Conclusion Silicone oil removal combined with IOL implantation can improve visual acuity.The IOL-Master biometry is accurate,safe and convenient in measuring the IOL power in silicon oil temponade eye,but future research should be performed to decrease the measuring error.
