A total of 60 myopia patients (120 eyes) who were going to undergo myopia LASIK were selected in this study. The patients were divided into two groups of anisometropia and non-anisometropia,each group had 30 patients (60 eyes). Checked vision, fusion range,near and distant stereoscopic at 10 day pre-operation and at 1,3 and 6 month in post operation. After the LASIK, all of 60 patients' anisometropia were significantly reduced, binocular stereopsis were obviously improved than pre-operation, especially the anisometropia group; the binocular fusion range also got better,but there was no significant difference between the two groups. This study clarified that the visual function of anisometropia could be improved after LASIK.

Purpose To study the clinicopathologic features, differential diagnosis, immunophenotype and treatment and prognosis of adult intratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma ( ITRMS) . Methods One case of adult ITRMS was analyzed by histology and immunohisto-chemistry, the date of treatment and prognosis through electronic medical record. The published relevant literatures were reviewed. Re-sults A 19-years old male patient was admitted to the hospital with a history of 2-months testicular painless enlargement. Testis ultra-sound examination and scrotal and abdominal CT revealed a mass in right testis. Macroscopic observation of the testis showed that a grey-white tumor. The tunica albuginea, epididymis and spermatic cord hadn’ t been invaded by the tumor. Microscopically, medium-size oval or round cells were arranged in sheets, and spindle-shaped, strap-like, large-circle cells were also presented. Few large cells had abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm with crossstriations under oil immersion objective. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, HHF35, desmin, MyoD1, Myogenin and h-Caldesmon protein, more than 50% neoplasm cells were positive. The rate of Ki-67 was 75%. Conclusions Adult ITRMS is rare. Histologically, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma ( ERMS) is the most common type. They have highly invasive and poor prognosis. The accurate diagnosis depends on the combination of the histo-logic and immunohistochemical examination.

Artemisnin is a novel sesquiterpene lactone with an internal peroxide bridge structure, which is extracted from traditional Chinese herb Artemisia annua L. (Qinghao). Recommended by World Health Organization, artemisinin is the first-line drug in the treatment of encephalic and chloroquine-resistant malaria. In the present study, transgenic A. annua plants were developed by overexpressing the key enzymes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin. Based on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods, transgenic plants of A. annua with overexpression of both HDR and ADS were obtained through hygromycin screening. The genomic PCR analysis confirmed six transgenic lines in which both HDR and ADS were integrated into genome. The gene expression analysis given by real-time quantitative PCR showed that all the transgenic lines had higher expression levels of HDR and ADS than the non-transgenic control (except ah3 in which the expression level of ADS showed no significant difference compared with control); and the HPLC analysis of artemisinin demonstrated that transgenic A. annua plants produced artemisinin at significantly higher level than non-transgenic plants. Especially, the highest content of artemisinin was found in transgenic line ah70, in which the artemisinin content was 3.48 times compared with that in non-transgenic lines. In summary, overexpression of HDR and ADS facilitated artemisinin biosynthesis and this method could be applied to develop transgenic plants of A. annua with higher yield of artemisinin.
