Purpose: To characterize profile of cytokines in aqueous humour of common macular diseases during intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. Methods: Aqueous humour from eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), diabetic macular oedema (DME), neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or pathologic myopia associated choroidal neovascularization (pmCNV) was sampled prior to 1st (n = 144) and 2nd (n = 48) intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy. Cytokines including vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were quantitated and analysed along with retinal thickness data by optical coherence tomography (OCT) across two intravitreal injections and five macular disease types. Results: ICAM-1, IL-6 and VEGF are positively associated in the aqueous humour of naive eyes (r = 0.39-0.77, p = 0.018 to <0.0001). ICAM-1, VEGF and IL-6 were significantly higher in CRVO and DME while lowest in pmCNV (p < 0.0001). Reduction of central retinal thickness (CRT) as a favourable response to anti-VEGF therapy was in the order of CRVO, BRVO, DME and nAMD/pmCNV (p < 0.0001). The strongest predictor for favourable CRT reduction was baseline CRT (p < 0.0001) followed by baseline ICAM-1 (p = 0.04). After the 1st intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy, VEGF in aqueous humour lowered significantly but ICAM-1 and IL-6 levels remained unchanged. ICAM-1 was not predictive for CRT reduction following 2nd anti-VEGF therapy. Conclusion: Rate of cytokine production is disease-dependent and higher in CRVO and DME. Anatomical response to intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy is disease-specific and best in RVO patients. A combination therapy using both anti-VEGF and anti-inflammatory therapeutics may be superior to single anti-VEGF therapy, at least for RVO and DME.

Abstract. With the continuous development of China's industrialization, accelerating the urbanization process, changing the lagging situation of urbanization, is one of the important tasks. China's urbanization must be a path of urbanization with Chinese characteristics. The key is citizenization of the migrant workers. The citizenization of migrant workers is an important task of the present stage of Chinese urbanization construction. This article mainly analyses the main obstacles that exists in the process of the citizenization of Chinese migrant workers, and then puts forward some suggestions, which expect to promote the process of urbanization.

Our country is a agriculture Great Power, the agriculture is entire national economy basis , development of agriculture is related to the national economy stability. The increase to the agriculture and countryside investment may promote our country agriculture and rural economy continually and Improve the peasants' income level. This article has mainly analyzed the situation, the main problems as well as the countermeasure of the rural microcredit from the rural credit cooperatives of Yichang City. The rural credit cooperatives of Yi Chang City have carried out small peasant household credit business energetically, have got substantial progress and the huge stimulation to the local rural economy , oneself have also obtained certain income. But also have some problems such as the slow institutional reform, the inferior profit making and so on. The article puts forward the corresponding proposals specifically for all above problems.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of cyclophotocoagulation with an illuminated laser probe under a noncontact wide-angle retinoscope in treating refractory glaucoma. Methods: Eleven patients (11 eyes) with refractory neovascular glaucoma were treated with ciliary body photocoagulation. Preoperative and postoperative corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), ophthalmofundoscopy, B-ultrasound and ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed. Results: Preoperative IOP ranged from 45 to 58 mmHg (mean 51.9 mmHg). At postoperative 1, 3, and 6 months, the IOPs ranged between 16 and 33 mmHg (mean 27.1 mmHg), 14–28 mmHg (mean 20.6 mmHg), and 14–28 mmHg (mean 18.5 mmHg), respectively. IOP at the last follow-up (range 7–12 months) was 15–24 mmHg (mean 18.8 mmHg). An average of 63.8% decrease in postoperative IOP was found in these patients with no associated complications. The postoperative fibrotic exudate, anterior chamber hyphema, and exudative choroidal detachment were all well-managed and resolved. No patients experienced intraocular lens deviation or dislocation, hypotonia oculi, atrophy of eyeball, retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, or sympathetic ophthalmia. Conclusion: Cyclophotocoagulation with an illuminated laser probe under a noncontact wide-angle retinoscope is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.
