Objective To observe the features of the manifestations of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in multiple sclerosis (MS) and their value in clinical diagnosis. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients (84 eyes) with MS diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data included visual acuity, ocular fundus examined by direct ophthalmoscope after mydriasis, FFA, visual field, CSF,visual evoked potential (VEP) and MRI examination. Results In 42 patients (84 eyes),the positive detectable rate of examination of direct ophthalmoscope, CSF, visual field, VEP, and MRI was 36.9%, 21.4%, (71.4%, and) 83.3% respectively. Abnormal results of FFA were found in 44 eyes (52.38%), including papillitis in 4 eyes (4.76%)at the early stage with extended physiological scotoma and central scotoma; neuroretinitis in 7 eyes (8.33%)at the medium stage with central or para- central scotoma; optic atrophy in 33 eyes(39.29%) at the late stage with centripetal constriction and even tubular visual field. Conclusion The main angiographic features of MS are papillitis, neuroretinitis and optic atrophy. The manifestations of FFA combined with the results of examination of CSF,visual field, VEP and MRI is helpful for comprehensive and exact diagnosis of MS.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of preoperative eye position training on femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis(FL-LASIK)? Methods One hundred and sixty-eight myopia patients(328 eyes)scheduled for selective FL-LASIK were randomly divided into the experiment group of 85 cases(166 eyes)and the control group of 83 cases(162 eyes)?The patients in the control group were given the routine preoperative education and the patients in the experiment group received the preoperative intervention of eye position besides routine preoperative education? The two groups were compared in terms of intraoperative changes of eye position,corneal topography and the postoperative visual acuity? Results The frequency of eye position adjustment and machine stopping in the experiment group was significantly smaller than that of the control group(P < 0?001)? But no significant differences were found between the two groups in corneal topography and the postoperative visual acuity(P > 0?05)? Conclusion Preoperative training of eye position may maintain ideal eye position and reduce the frequency of downtime due to eye position adjustment during FL-LASIK,which may ensure the successful completion of FL-LASIK?

Protocol design and implementation are important steps for clinical trial . This article discussed key issues on effect of live birth rate by polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ) treatment with acupuncture combined with clomiphene citrate in the randomized controlled trial ( RCT ) process . For example , the trial designs ( i . e . , trial design characteristics , selection of featured therapeutic effect index ) , clinical trial implementation ( i . e . , or-ganization construction , quality control , and etc . ) . This summarization provided references for the design and implementation of clinical trial plan .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ginseng total saponins (GTS) on expression of nerve growth factor in rat with polycystic ovaries. METHODS: A total of thirty rats were randomly divided into normal control group, untreated group and GTS group. Polycystic ovaries were induced by a single intramuscular injection of 4 mg estradiol valerate (EV) in rats of the untreated group and GTS group. The rats in the GTS group were administered 50 mg/kg GTS every other day by intraperitoneal injection for 30 days after the EV injection. The expressions of NGF in the ovaries, pituitary and hippocampus were observed by method of immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Comparison with the normal control group revealed that the expressions of NGF in ovaries, pituitary and hippocampus of rats in the untreated group were increased (P<0.05). The ovarian morphology of the GTS group was almost as normal as that of the normal control group. As compared with the untreated group, the expression of NGF in ovaries of the rats in GTS group was obviously decreased (P<0.05), while the expression of NGF in pituitary and hippocampus showed on difference. CONCLUSION: GTS can decrease the expression of NGF in ovary tissue in rats with polycystic ovaries induced by EV, which may be its mechanism in lessening the polycystic ovary.

Four genotypic mice were constructed, by ovary transplantation, with body leptin receptor (LR) + and ovary LR - in Group A, body LR + and ovary LR + in Group B, body LR - and ovary LR + in Group C, as well as body LR - and ovary LR - in Group D respectively. Mice in C and D groups showed significant differences in glucose and fat metabolism as well as ovarian function as compared with A and B groups. Leptin signal transducting system exists in the ovary. Ovarian failure was induced by hyperlipidemia and lowered gonadotropin levels, but not by defective leptin signal within ovaries in the db/db mice.
