Bilateral sequential cataract surgery is very common in clinical,but the ophthalmologists often ignore how to choose the timing of operation and whether the first eye can be used to improve the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation for the second one.Despite the refinements in IOL selection with the use of third-generation IOL formulas,5％ of eyes still result in a postoperative refractive surprise of ± 1.00 D or more.This paper introduced the methods of using refraction error of the first eye to improve the IOL power calculation for the second eye,and the refractive error of the second eye can be improved by modifying the IOL power to correct up to 50％ of the error from the first eye in details.Because of the variation of the postoperative refractive surprise within a month,the interval of three to four weeks between two eyes cataract surgery is highly recommended.These conclusions may provide the advantageous guidance for us in the selection of IOL in bilateral cataract surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium in Chinese patients after thoracic surgery. METHODS: Thirteen patients were enrolled in the study and were given a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium via a subcutaneous injection. Plasma concentrations of fondaparinux sodium were measured throughout a 24 h period. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin software. RESULTS: The following pharmacokinetic parameters were derived; t1/2(7.92 ± 3.13) (4.21-15.89) h, tmax(2.52 ± 0.93) (1.38-4) h, p-1 (0.73 ± 0.18) (0.45-1.02) mg · L-1, AUClast(6. 56 ± 2.19) (3.07-9. 75)mg · h · L-1, Vz/F(3.54 ± 1.00) (2.24-5.73) L, CL/F(0.34 ± 0.14) (0.16-0.63) L · h-1, and MRTlast (6.98 ± 2.1) h. The pearson correlation coefficient, r was 0.7283(P = 0.005) between the serum creatinine(Scr) and mean residence time(MRTlast) of fondaparinux. CONCLUSION: The disposition of fondaparinux is highly variable in patients. A statistical significant correlation between Scr and MRTlast of fondaparinux was observed. Fondaparinux sodium administered by intravenous injection is well tolerated in patients.

Liposome-mediated nucleic acid delivery has been a focus recently, but in the course of delivering nucleic acid, some hurdles seriously limit the nucleic acid exerting treatment effect. This review refers to a series of problems such as low blood stability, reticuloendothelial system absorption, the lower targeting of liposome and the restriction of endosomal escape which are suffered in liposome-mediated nucleic acid delivery; and gives a detail introduction of strategies such as PEGylation, ligand modification, photochemical internalization, the application of degradation liposome and membrane-lytic peptide, to overcome those problems.

To investigate the cause of donor death in living donor liver transplantation(LDLT), we reviewed all published articles in English on LDLT from the Foreign Medical Journal Full-Text Service (FMJS) and searched the literature for donor deaths before 2008. We identified 12 donor deaths. The rate of donor death is 0.2%. Any donor death would be a catastrophe for the donor's family and for the medical team. It is imperative to avoid donor death in LDLT.

Small molecule inhibitors of Bcl-2 are a novel class of anticancer drugs that target anti-apoptotic proteins. In recent years,small molecule inhibitors such as ABT-737 ,ABT-263, gossypol, apogossypol,TW-37,obatoclax, HAl4-1 have attracted much reseach attention. Preclinical trials have shown that the inhibitors have cancer killing effect on some tumors when used alone and exhibit striking synergistic effect when combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Lipo PGE combined with Shuxuetong injection in treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Methods The 68 DPN patients were randomly divided into treatment group with Lipo PGE plus Shuxuetong injection and comparison group with Shuxuetong alone. The treatment period was 14 days. Results The pain, numbness,paresthesia and other symptoms in the limbs of patients were significantly reduced in treatment group than in comparison group (P＜0. 01). At the same time, the conduction velocity of median nerve and sural nerve was significantly increased in treatment group after treatment (P＜0.05), there were no significant differences in comparison group before and after the treatment. Conclusions The treatment of DPN with Lipo PGE combined with Shuxuetong injection is safe and effective.

Caloric restriction(CR)remains the most robust one in all possible aging interventions,while the utility of it in humans would be difficult.CR mimeties(CRM)could mimic CR effects without changing calorie intake and have a promising prospect of application.CRM include glyeolysis inhibiter,insulin-like growth factorI,insulin sensitizer,sirtuins,PPAR agonists,and lipid-regulating drugs.

Objective To study the influence of BiPAP on lipid level in patients with chronic heart failure of coronary heart disease.Methods 20 patients with chronic heart failure of coronary heart disease were taken BiPAP:Blood samples were taken from forearm vein before and 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment,the lipid level was measured and compared.Results The observation group of The coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure in pre-treatment serum level of total cholesterol(TC)(7.47±0.12)mmol/L,triglycerides(TG)(3.52±0.13)mmol/L,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLc)(3.73 ±0.11)nmmol/L,apolipoprotein-B(Apo-B)(1.37±0.02)g/Lwere significantly lower than 14 weeks after treatment TC(4.5±0.03)mmol/L,TG(2.6±0.02)mmol/L,LDLc(2.8±0.06)mmol/L,Apo-B(1.02±0.02)g/L)(t=2.154,t=2.278,t=2.311,t=2.347,P all<0.05) in coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure;The observation group after treatment 14 weeks of HDL-CH(1.45±0.02)mmol/Land Apo-A(1.21±0.03)g/L lower than before treatment HDLc(1.05±0.01)mmol/L,Apo-A(0.87±0.01)g/L(t=2.234,t=2.318,P all<0.05) in coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure.Conclusion BiPAP therapy could effectively to ameliorate lipid metabolism in patients with chronic heart failure of coronary heartdisease in the long term.
