The implantation of the foldable multifocal intraocular lens,a new pseudophakia intraocular substitute,needs only a small incision and the post-operative complications are rare.The incoming light can be refracted into several fo-cuses.Improved visual acuities both for far and near distance are obtained,which downregulated the glasses-wearing rate.This article summarizes the theories and designs,implantation,clinical application,theropeutic outcomes,and complications of this type of multifocal intraocular lens.

Objective: To study the morphologic differences and nutritional components of the natural and broken Masson pine pollen. Methods: Pure pollen was collected from Masson pine (Pinus Massoniana Lamb) and the dry pollen was broken by high speed low temperature air flow technique. Their morphologic changes were observed under scan electronic microscopy. The nutritional components of pollen were analyzed.Results: The pollen particle consists of two air bags and one main part, like a mushroom cap. The main morphologic change of broken pollen was that the air bags were separated from pollen particles, and the main part of pollen particles became enriched. The physical characteristics of pollen were changed in container and its fluidity was lost. The broken pollen had very strong adhesiveness. So it could not fly like natural pollen. In broken pollen, the rough fiber, cellulose and semi cellulose contents decreased significantly. Total energy, total lipid, and starch contents increased remarkably. The water soluble and fat soluble components also increased greatly. The total amino acids content of broken pollen was higher than natural pollen except Cys, Arg and Met, and free amino acids were also higher except Cys, Gly and Met. In broken pollen, the amount of lipids extracted by ether increased sharply, nearly 7 times more than natural pollen.Conclusion: It is considered that some nutritional components of natural pollen can be released after broken. Because most of the lipids in pollen are easily oxidized, broken pollen can not be stored for long time.

Objective To evaluate the effects of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3D-CRT) on the patients with esophageal carcinoma.Methods From October 2001 to October 2004,68 patients with esophageal carcinoma,the diagnosis of whom was finally confirmed by pathological examination,received coplanarity or noncoplanarity multifield 3D-CRT with Varian 1800C liner accelerator,using three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy planning system.Conventional fractionated dose was 2Gy per fraction,5 fractions per week,with a total dose of 60-70Gy in 6-7 weeks.Clinical target volume(CTV) and planning target volume(PTV) were enlarged outwards on the basis of gross tumor volume(GTV) which included primary tumors and regional lymph nodes.Results One-year and 3-year local tumor control rates were 80.9% and 47.1%,respectively,as the result of 3D-CRT.One-year and 3-year survival rates were 76.4% and 44.1% respectively.Grade 2 acute esophagitis occurred in 20 cases and grade 3 in 2 cases,grade 1 radiation pneumonia was found in 8 cases and grade 1 esophageal stenosis in 4 cases.Conclusions With tolerable reactions and after effects,the technique of 3D-CRT could effectively elevate the local tumor control rate and survival rate for the patients with esophageal carcinoma.

Aim To quantitatively analyze the lymphocyte proliferation using the time-series data of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester(CFSE).Methods The model of immune suppression in mice was created by cyclophosphamide and CFSE dye was used for staining the lymphocyte of both control group and treatment group animals. The data were analyzed through mathematical model-fitting.Results The first generation of cell proliferation of the control group and treatment group were 27.17 h and 22.88 h; cell death rates in each division were respectively 20% and 40%; the half-life of cells before the proliferation was respectively 31.53 h and 43.32 h.Conclusions The mathematical fitting of CFSE data can quantitatively analyze the mechanism of the drugs attecting the proliferation of lymphocyte.In this experiment the mechanism of cyclophosphamide inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation may be due to the increase of cell death rate of each division caused by cyclophosphamide.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)subtypes and the relationship with transmission routes in Shenzhen city. MethodsThe epidemiological survey was conducted in 429 subjects with HIV-1 infection.Vein blood was collected and prepared with anticoagulation.Thereafter,the viral nucleic acid was extracted and subsequently amplified for HIV-1 env,gag genes by reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction. The viral sequences were analyzed using Mega software and compared with those in HIV database. The HIV-1 subtypes were confirmed and evolutionary tree was established. The gene discrete rate of different subtypes was calculated.ResultsFour hundred qualified samples were identified as CRF01_AE (n=207),CRF07_BC (n=115),CRF08 _BC (n=14),CRF02_AG (n=1),B (n=49) and C(n=14),respectively.CRF01_AE was the predominant subtype that was detected in the subjects with different transmission routes,such as homosexual contact,heterosexual contact,intravenous drug use and hospital-acquired infection. Among these,sexual contact was the most common route.There were nine cases infected with subtype B HIV-1 in 10 case who were blood borne. The gene discrete rate was more significant in subtype B HIV-1 compared to the other subtypes.According to the evolutionary tree analysis,the viruses under the same subtype formed the relatively independent clusters by different transmission routes. But some overlaps were observed as well. Conclusions Tbere are many HIV-1subtypes in HIV-1 infected subjects in Shenzhen, while the recombinant viruses present as the predominant form.Transmission routes are various with sexual contact as the most common route.Every subset distributes unevenly and forms its own characteristic.Overlap can be observed among the gene distribution of different HIV-1 subtypes.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect and adverse reactions of radioactive seed interstitial brachytherapy com-bined with etoposide (EP) regimen concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods:All 24 cases of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer received three-dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiation therapy by using 6 MV X-ray to obtain 95%60-66 Gy/30-33 F planning target volume. All cases received radiation therapy five times a week. EP regimen chemotherapy concurrent with radiotherapy was given to 24 patients. The therapy included VP-16, 60 mg/m2 intravenous in-fusion for 1 d to 5 d, and DDP 50 mg/m2 intravenous infusion on the 1st, 8th, and 28th therapy day. Chemotherapy with EP regimen was given for four cycles, in which two cycles were given during radiotherapy and the remaining cycles were completed after radiotherapy. The patients were reexamined three months after concurrent chemoradiotherapy was completed. Patients with residual tumor, con-firmed via positron emission tomography/computed tomography, underwent 125I radioactive seed implantation interstitial brachytherapy to complement the dose of tumor. Results: The response rate was 83.3% (20/24); the local control rates of 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months were 87.5% (21/24), 83.3% (20/24), 75.0% (18/24), 70.8% (17/24), 58.3% (14/24), and 50.0% (12/24). The median survival was 20.2 months. The one-year survival rate was 62.5%, and the two-year survival rate was 37.5%. The following main toxicities were observed:the incidence of radiation-induced lung injury was 25%;the incidence of radiation esophagitis was 33.3%;the incidence of grades Ⅰ to Ⅱ gastrointestinal reactions was 82.3%; the incidence of reducing neutropenia was 87.5%, in which the incidence of gradesⅠtoⅡwas 75.0%, gradeⅢwas 12.5%, and gradeⅣwas 0%. Conclusion:EP regimen concurrent radiotherapy and chemo-therapy combined with radioactive seed interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer is effective and has few serious adverse reactions, thus making this approach worthy of promotion.
