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.

The volatile oil is the main component in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. According to the main types of monoterpenoids or aromatic compounds, it can be divided into different chemotypes and the main chemotypes of Chinese producing Perilla are PA type (mainly containing Perilla aldehyde and limonene), PK type (mainly containing perillaketone) and PP type (subdivided as PP-a type, with apiole as its main component; PP-m type, with myristicin as its main component; PP-e type, with elemicin as main component; PP-as type, with asarone as main component). Based on the biosynthetic pathways analysis, we also found that the formation of the particular chemotype is usually controlled by a single gene or a few genes, and different types have different pharmacological effects. In this paper, the classification under the species P. frutescens, main chemotypes of the volatile oil, and their biogenesis and regulation, pharmacological effect and influence factors are summarized and reviewed.

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 study the effect of retrograde perfusion through the inferior vena cava (IVC) during moderate hypothermic lower body circulatory arrest on malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the serum, liver and kidney of pigs. Methods Twenty healthy pigs were randomly divided into two groups: group A had moderate hypothermic lower body circulatory arrest for 90 min, group B had moderate hypothermic lower body circulatory arrest and retrograde perfusion through IVC at the same time. SOD activities and MDA contents in the serum, liver and kidney were analyzed before retrograde perfuston(T1), 1 h after circulatory arrest(T2), and 1 h (T3), 3h (T4), and 5 h (T5) after reperfusion. Results There were no significant differences in SOD activities and MDA contents in the serum, liver or kidney between the two groups at T1 (P<0.05). Serum MDA contents were increased and the SOD activities were decreased in both groups at T3, T4, and T5, with the changes in group B being significantly small than those in group A (P<0.05). MDA contents in the liver and kidney in group A were significantly higher and the SOD accivicies were significantly lower than those in group B at T2-T5 (P<0.05). Conclusion Retrograde perfusion with autologous blood through IVC can partly alleviate the ischemic-reperfusion injury of liver and kidney during moderate hypothermic lower body circulatory arrest in pigs, showing a protective effect on the hepatic and renal function.

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.

Objective To explore the effect of compound Tropicamide eye drop in pseudomyopia preventive treatment and summerize key points of nursing.Methods Sixty-six cases of juveniles with pseudomyopia were selected from patients in the Department of Ophthalmology, which were randomly divided into the experiment group(n=33)and control group(n=33). The control group used Atropine eye drop for treatment every night while the experiment group used compound Tropicamide. Both of Treatment durations were 30 days and the effects of the two groups after 10~30d were compared.Result The curative effect in the experiment group was significantly better than that of the control group(P<0.01)with statistically difference.Conclusions Effect of compound Tropicamide eye drop in treatment of juvenile pseudomyopia is better than that of Atropine eye drop. Recommendations and notes about the prevention and treatment of juvenile pseudomyopia should be provided for education.
