Excimer laser was found in 1975, and has been used in corneal refractive surgery, which made a great progress and become rapidly developed. ArF laser of 193 nm has high accuracy because it can gasify corneal tissue molecule. Moreover, it does not produce heat effect on tissues surrounding irradiated sites, so not produce adverse effect on corneal structure. At present, excimer laser has been successfully used in corneal radial incision, excimer laser corneal refractive surgery, laser in situ keratomileusis, laser epithelial keratomileusis and laser subepithelial keratomileusis. With increasing understanding of excimer laser and accumulating clinical experience, novel, accurate and predictive excimer laser corneal refractive surgery will be developed.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a determination method for trace elements of Plumbago zeylanica. METHODS:Induct- ively coupled plasma emission spectrum (ICP-AES) was used to determine seven trace elements of P. zeylanica, i.e. Cu, Zn,Fe,Ca,Mg,Mn and Sr simultaneously. Se was determined by atomic fluorescence (AFS) method. RESULTS: The RSD ranged from 0.78% to 3.01%(n=5),while the recovery was within 91.9%～105.8%. The result obtained was satisfactory. Se took a large proportion in P. zeylanica, followed by Cu,Zn,Fe,Ca,Mg,Mn,Sr.CONCLUSION: The method is brief, rapid and accurate for the determination of P. zeylanica. The study provide reference for future pharmacological study of P. zeylanica.

Objective To sieve the bioactive constituents of Plumbago zeylanica, serum pharmacochemistry research was performed. Method Based on the establishment of HPLC fingerprints of Plumbago zeylanica, the constituents absorbed into blood were determined by comparing the HPLC fingerprints of the methanol extracts, medicated serum samples and blank serum sample. Results One compound absorbed into blood was detected, the other might be metabolites of the original constituent. Conclusion The one onstituent absorbed into blood was possible bioactive component of Plumbago zeylanica.

Objective To eveluate the effect of tirofiban on TIMI flow in patients with STEMI during primary PCI. Methods Forty-eight patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI were randomly divided into two groups which were: the tirofiban+PCI group (n=27) and the primary PCI group (n=21). The TIMI flow before and after the operation were reviewed angiographically. Results A greater percentage of TIMI 1 flow was archieved in the triofiban+PCI group compared with the primary PCI group before operation (37% vs 9.5%, P

Objective To analyze and evaluate the role of IABP in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods The clinical data of all patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with IABP admitted into the Peking University First Hospital from January 1st 2000 to December 31st 2006 were collected.The treatment effects of IABP were analyzed with statistical methods.Results A total number of 48 patients with acute myocardial infarction were treated with IABP in the past 6 years and 26 of them were presented with cardiogenic shock at the time of admission.The short-term condition was stabilized in 81.3%(39/48) of the patients with IABP treatment which was demonstrated by restoration of stable heart rate and blood pressure,increase in urine volume,symptoms relief and decreasing need of vasoactive drug.The in-hospital mortality was lower in patients received revascularization therapy in additional to IABP compared with patients who had IABP support alone(37.5% vs.93.8%,P

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new designed balloon catheter, the Minirail balloon catheter in coronary intervention Methods Twenty two consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (male 16, female 6, mean age 58 77?8 69 years) were enrolled the study Selective angioplasty was performed for 24 target lesions (17 in LAD, 2 in LCX, and 5 in RCA) Among these target lesions were 5 type C, 14 type B 2, and 5 type B 1 lesions The average extent of narrowing before procedure was 91 18%?5 95% Target lesions were dilated with Minirail balloon catheters Results All of the target lesions were successfully dilated with Minirail balloon catheters The average residual stenosis was 33 18%?25 14% after balloon angioplasty Significant dissection was seen in 3 of the cases, and slow reflow in another one Twenty four stents were implanted in 19 cases The final residual stenosis was 1 82%?5 01% at the end of procedure No death or Q wave myocardial infarction happened No emergency bypass surgery needed Conclusion Minirail balloon catheter is safe, effective, and easy to be used in coronary intervention

Objective To summarize the effect and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CHD in patients with single patent coronary artery. Methods We collected the data of CHD in 10 patients with single patent coronary artery who underwent PCI and analyzed them retrospectively. Results All patients with single patent coronary artery had successful PCI. Symptoms of all the CHD patients had been significantly relieved after PCI. No major adverse cadiac events occurred in hospitalization. Conclusion The data suggest that the patients with single patent coronary artery might be treated with PCI effectively and safely.
