AIM:To study the efficacy and safety of Toric implantable contact lens (TICL) implantation in the treatment of patients with high myopia and astigmatism.METHODS: Totally 90 patients (178 eyes) diagnosed as this disease were selected in our hospital during September 2012 to September 2016 by the method of random.The UCVA, BCVA, refraction, astigmatism coefficient, corneal endothelial cell, intraocular pressure, manifest refraction examination were accessed and compared before and after 3 and 9mo of surgery.RESULTS: After 3 and 9mo of the surgery, the UCVA and BCVA were much higher than those before treatment, which the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).We compared the refraction at 3mo (-0.52±0.23D) and 9mo (-0.54±0.16D), the astigmatism coefficient at 3mo (-0.39±0.23D) and 9mo (-0.33±0.56D) after treatment, and we found that the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05).The corneal endothelial cells at 3 and 9mo after operation were compared with those of before treatment, and we found that the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The intraocular pressure of 3 and 9mo after operation was compared with that before operation, and we found that the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: TICL implantation in the treatment of patients with high myopia and myopic astigmatism has a more obvious clinical efficacy and safety and reliability.

Objective To observe the effect of rehabilitation training on fine motor in children with Down syndrome. Methods 30 children with Down syndrome accepted rehabilitation training for 3.1~4.6 months. They were assessed with fine motor function in Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS-FM) before and after treatment. Results The scores of fine motor quotients, grasping and visual-motor integration improved after treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation can improve the fine motor in children with Down syndrome.

Based on the community-based and family-centered concepts, the Chain Rehabilitation Services for children with cerebral palsy (CP) integrates all kinds of social resources to build the early screening network and community rehabilitation centers, and to enhance the integration of rehabilitation and educational services. This chain model makes it possible to coordinate the related institutes to provide better services for children with CP. Better services and better systematic management of children with CP in Shanghai and surrounding areas has also been achieved through this project.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of acupuncture point injection for fine motor functions in children with cerebral palsy.Methods57 children with cerebral palsy were treated by acupuncture point injection combined with occupational therapy. The efficacy was evaluated by the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-Fine Motor (PDMS-FM).ResultsThe fine motor quotient (FMQ) of 34 children (59.7%) elevated. The raw scores of grasping subtest (Gr) elevated in 45 children (78.9%) and the raw scores of visual-motor integration (VI) elevated in 53 children (93.0%).ConclusionThe efficacy of acupuncture point injection combined with occupational therapy is significant in children with cerebral palsy.

OBJECTIVETo study features of brain gray matter injury in cerebral infarction patients and intervention of scalp acupuncture by using voxel-based morphology.

METHODSA total of 16 cerebral infarction patients were recruited in this study, and assigned to the scalp acupuncture group and the control group, 8 in each group. Another 16 healthy volunteers were recruited as a normal group. All patients received scanning of T1 structure. Images were managed using VBM8 Software package. Difference of the gray matter structure was compared among the scalp acupuncture group, the control group, and the healthy volunteers.

RESULTSCompared with healthy volunteers, gray matter injury of cerebral infarction patients mainly occurred in 14 brain regions such as cingulate gyrus, precuneus, cuneus, anterior central gyrus, insular lobe, and so on. They were mainly distributed in affected side. Two weeks after treatment when compared with healthy volunteers, gray matter injury of cerebral infarction patients in the scalp acupuncture group still existed in 8 brain regions such as bilateral lingual gyrus, posterior cingulate gyrus, left cuneus, right precuneus, and so on. New gray matter injury occurred in lingual gyrus and posterior cingulate gyrus. Two weeks after treatment when compared with healthy volunteers, gray matter injury of cerebral infarction patients in the control group existed in 23 brain regions: bilateral anterior cingulum, caudate nucleus, cuneate lobe, insular lobe, inferior frontal gyrus, medial frontal gyrus, precuneus, paracentral lobule, superior temporal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, lingual gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, posterior cingulate gyrus, precentral gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, and so on. New gray matter injury still existed in 9 cerebral regions such as lingual gyrus, posterior cingulate gyrus, postcentral gyrus, and so on.

CONCLUSIONSBrain gray matter structure is widely injured after cerebral infarction. Brain gray matter volume gradually decreased as time went by. Combined use of scalp acupuncture might inhibit the progression of gray matter injury more effectively.

OBJECTIVETo study the inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the pulmonary metastasis of melanoma B16 cells.

METHODSMice melanoma cells B16 were injected into the vein of the eye socket of C57BL/6J mice. The lung tissue weight and the B16 melanoma lung metastasis nodules were examined after intraperitoneal injection of As2O3. The microvessel density in the pulmonary metastatic tumor nodules was observed using HE staining and immunohistochemistry analysis for VIII-R Ag. The cell adhesion rate was detected using CellTiter 96 Aqueous One reagent.

RESULTSAs2O3 could significantly inhibit the pulmonary metastasis of B16 melanoma. The lung weight, the pulmonary metastasis nodules, and microvessels per visual field of the experimental group and the control group were 0.139+/-0.013 g and 0.353+/-0.070 g, 20.42+/-1.78 and 61.42+/-3.09, 3.25+/-0.75 and 7.50+/-1.45, respectively (all P<0.01). As2O3 showed significant effect on the cell adhesion rate, showing statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSAs2O3 had significant antitumor metastasis effect. It might be correlated with inhibiting angiogenesis and enhancing the cell adhesion.
