AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of capsular tension ring ( CTR) combined with iris hooks in eyes with large traumatic zonular dialysis or weakness that underwent micro -incision coaxial phacoemulsification with posterior chamber ( PC ) intraocular lens ( lOL) implantation.METHODS: This prospective study was carried on 21 patients ( 21 eyes ) with traumatic cataract and traumaticzonular dialysis (<180 degrees determined pre-or intra-operatively ) in our hospital from January 2011 to September 2014. After CCC, 1-4 iris hooks might be used probably and a in-the-bag CTR was inserted in order to maintain or re-establish an extended capsular diaphragm before or at any time during cataract removal. Then micro-incision coaxial phacoemulsification with foldable acrylic PC lOL implantation was performed. Zonular dialysis range, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, pupil size, best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( lOP ) in the pre- and post-operative periods and postoperative lOL decentration were observed after operation.RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 3 ~12mo. No serious postoperative complication was found. BCVA in our cases: <0. 3 in 1 eye, 0. 4~0. 7 in 15 eyes ,>0. 8 in 5 eyes. lOPs were in normal range too. The lOLs in 20 eyes remained the required position to the final follow- up examination except one eye in which the PC lOL was dislocated into vitreous cavity due to a postoperative spontaneity PCR, and in which vitrectomy and lOL suture fixation was performed.CONCLUSlON: ln cases of cataract associated with traumatic zonular dialysis (<180.) , by setting the rational parameters of phacoemulsification, the CTR and iris hooks are found to be efficient in preventing lOL decentration and reducing operation complication. ln our cases, the CTR combined with iris hooks is relatively safe application.

Objective: To investigate the level of health literacy among residents in Karamay City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into formulating health promotion strategies. Methods: Based on the Health Literacy Surveillance Program in Karamay City, demographic information and health literacy data were collected from residents aged 15 to 69 years in Karamay City in 2022, and levels of health literacy was analyzed. Factors affecting health literacy were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 473 respondents were included, with a mean age of (39.62±15.09) years. There were 751 men (50.98%) and 722 women (49.02%). The level of health literacy was 28.31%, and the prevalence rates of basic healthy knowledge and attitudes, healthy lifestyles and behaviors and basic health-related skills were 39.31%, 27.36% and 30.75%, respectively. The prevalence rates of safety and first aid, scientific health outlook, health information, chronic disease prevention, infectious disease prevention and basic medical care were 58.93%, 49.29%, 48.88%, 33.67%, 29.74% and 27.77%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age (45 to 54 years OR=2.329, 95%CI: 1.005-5.398), ethnicity (ethnic minority, OR=0.459, 95%CI: 0.341-0.617), educational level (primary school and below, OR=0.213, 95%CI: 0.102-0.444; junior high school, OR=0.302, 95%CI: 0.193-0.471; high school, OR=0.579, 95%CI: 0.428-0.784), and annual household income (less than 10 000 Yuan, OR=0.352, 95%CI: 0.199-0.624; 10 000 to 30 000 Yuan, OR=0.447, 95%CI: 0.279-0.717; 30 000 to 50 000 Yuan, OR=0.598, 95%CI: 0.407-0.880) as factors affecting health literacy among residents in Karamay City. Conclusion The level of health literacy was 28.31% among residents in Karamay City in 2022. Health education and promotion should be carried out targeting residents of different ages, ethnicities, educational levels and annual household income, in order to further enhance the level of health literacy among residents in Karamay City.

We constructed an expression cassette of the organophosphorus pesticide degrading (opd) gene under the control of the E8 promoter. Then opd was transformed into tomato fruit using an agroinfiltration transient expression system. beta-Glucuronidase (GUS) staining, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), wavelength scanning, and fluorescent reaction were performed to examine the expression of the opd gene and the hydrolysis activity on coumaphos of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) in tomato fruit. The results show that the agroinfiltrated tomato fruit-expressed OPH had the maximum hydrolysis activity of about 11.59 U/mg total soluble protein. These results will allow us to focus on breeding transgenic plants that could not only enhance the degrading capability of fruit and but also hold no negative effects on pest control when spraying organophosphorus pesticides onto the seedlings in fields.

We investigated the possibility of producing chicken alpha interferon (ChIFN-alpha) in transgenic plants. The cDNA encoding ChIFN-alpha was introduced into lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants by using an agro-infiltration transient expression system. The ChIFN-alpha gene was correctly transcribed and translated in the lettuce plants according to RT-PCR and ELISA assays. Recombinant protein exhibited antiviral activity in vitro by inhibition of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication on chicken embryonic fibroblast (CEF). The results demonstrate that biologically active avian cytokine with potential pharmaceutical applications could be expressed in transgenic lettuce plants and that it is possible to generate interferon protein in forage plants for preventing infectious diseases of poultry.

0.05).However,the shorter the history of the disease,the better the efficacy of the treatment.The younger the patient was,the better the efficacy of the treatment.Conclusions Vulva dystrophy can be treated with focused ultrasound effectively and safely.This approach appears to be a new promising treatment method.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the spontaneous YMDD mutation rate.

METHODSSerum samples collected from 196 untreated chronic HBV patients were detected by primer-specific real-time PCR.

RESULTSAmong 196 patients, spontaneous YMDD variants were detected in 21 subjects (20 YVDD mutants and 1 YIDD mutant). YMDD variants account for more than 50%, 25% to 50%, 9% to 25% of total virus load in 1, 5 and 15 patients, respectively. Gender, age, HBeAg status, serum viral load, the state of disease and duration of infection were not associated with spontaneous YMDD mutation. Genotype B had higher spontaneous YMDD rate than genotype C (20.00% vs 7.38%, x(2) = 6.28, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSpontaneous YMDD variants exist in chronic hepatitis B patients, Genotype B is associated with higher spontaneous YMDD rate.

Objective To investigate the present prevalence state of children's Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD) in Xinghai county of Qinghai province,a relative active KBD area in 2009,and to investigate their nutritional selenium level of local children and the T-2 toxin contamination level in their staple food.Methods Right hand X-ray photographs of children aged 7 - 12 in Shang,Zhong and Xia villages of Tangnaihai countryside in Xinghai county were taken.X-ray diagnosis was carried out according to the Diagnostic Criteria of Kashin Beck Disease (GB 16003-1995 ).Selected samples (children's hair,drinking water and their staple food) were collected according to X-ray film taken.Selenium contents in hair,drinking water and staple food samples were measured by 2,3-diaminonaphthalene fluorescence,and T-2 toxin in staple food sample was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) kits.ResultsTotal X-ray detection rate of children KBD was 12.20％(31/254) and KBD positive rate of children in Xia village was up to 14.97％(22/147),Shang village was up to 9.52％(6/63),and Zhong village was up to 6.82％ (3/44).The selenium level in children's body and outer environment was very low,namely,the selenium content in hair,drinking water,wheat and flour was (0.250 ± 0.136)mg/kg,(0.156 ± 0.046)μg/L,(0.0045 ± 0.0030)mg/kg,and (0.0067 ± 0.0116)mg/kg,respectively.The T-2 toxin level was relatively high in children's staple food,which was (78.91 ± 46.17)μg/kg in wheat and (47.47 ± 46.47)μg/kg in flour.Conclusions In relative active KBD areas of Xinghai county of Qinghai province,the children's selenium nutritional level is low,and the T-2 toxin contamination level in their staple food is relatively high,which is consistent with the distribution of local children's KBD.
