International Eye Science 2014;(6):1119-1121
AIM: To investigate the safety and efficacy of undersurface ablation of the flap ( UAF ) for laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASIK ) retreatment in eyes with regression.
METHODS: Twelve patients ( 22 eyes ) with regression after LASIK were performed undersurface ablation of the flap. The mean of preoperative refractive error was -2. 27±0-88D, the astigmatism was -0. 44±0. 30D, the central corneal thickness was 424. 9±8. 2μm. The follow-up time was 1a, including visual acuity, refractive error, the elevation of posterior cornea, WavScan. The data was analyzed with Student's t test andχ2test.
RESULTS:During the operation, the measured stromal thickness was 275. 4±9. 3μm, the flap thickness 144. 7±7-5μm, the depth of ablation 28. 1±9. 3μm. The mean postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 4. 99±0. 04, best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) 5. 03±0. 04, at 1a follow up. There was no patient with postoperative BCVA decreasing, compared to preoperation. Mean spherical refraction decreased to-0. 22±0. 19 D at 1a follow up (t=10. 232, P<0. 001) and the astigmatism decreased to -0. 24±0. 26 D (t=2. 365, P=0. 028). The elevation of posterior cornea changed from 1. 95 ± 1. 68μm preoperatively to 2. 00±1. 88μm after 1a, but there was no statistical significance (t=0. 090, P= 0. 929). The coma changed from 0. 283±0. 112μm preoperatively to 0. 331±0-149μm after 1a (no statistical significance, t=1. 452, P=0. 161) and the spherical aberration changed from 0. 320±0. 119μm to 0. 341±0. 103μm (no statistical significance, t=0. 390, P=0. 674).
CONCLUSION:UAF, as one of a choice, is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of regression after LASIK, based on the reasonable surgery design.

Objective: To review the experience of using the transit time flow measurement(TTFM) in coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG). Methods: From Sept.2001 to May, 2002,90 cases underwent CABG. Among them, 40 cases with off-pump beating heart (OPCAB) and 50 with conventional coronary bypass grafting. All graft patency were verified intraoperatinlly with TTFM. The flow value of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) in 30 cases was also detected by the same way before grafting to left anterior descending (LAD). Results: There was no operative death and severe complications. The mean flow value of LIMA in 30 cases was (42.9?33.0)ml/min. The actual blood flow value, measured simultaneously by exsanguination was (37.4?28.8)ml/min. Excellent correlation was demonstrated. The mean pulsatility index value (PI) was 1.00?0.04. The flow curve showed both diastolic and systolic filling. The mean flow value of LIMA to LAD, saphenous vein graft (SVG) or radial artery (RA) to circumflex coronary artery (LCX) or diagonal (D), SVG or RA to right coronary artery (RCA) or post anterior artery (PDA) were (29.9?9.5)ml/min, (33.7?17.5)ml/min and (31.5?19.2)ml/min. The PI values were 2.47?0.88, 4.00?1.90 and 2.60?1.30, respectively. The typical flow curve was shown in all LIMA to LAD, and SVG (or RA) to LCX (or D). Blood flow filling was mainly during diastole with minimal systolic peaks during the isovolumetric ventricular contraction. SVG or RA to RCA presents a particular flow pattern characterized by a dual filling. 6 grafts were revised basing on unsatisfied flow curves, PI, and the mean flow or all of them. Significant technical error such as conduit kinking, stenosis of distal anastomosis was found. Conclusion: The patency of graft in CABG can be verified in intraoperatively by use of TTFM. The decision of checking or revising a graft can be made basing on parameters acquired from the TTFM device. To correctly analyze the parameters warrants good clinical results.

Objective: To study the effect of HSVtk/GCV system on ascites tumors. Methods: Using the methods of modified XTT assay, animal experiment, transmission electron microscopy (TEM ) and flow cytometric ( FCM) assay. Results: The sensitivity of P388tk cell was about 37-fold than that of their patental P388 cell. Furthermore we found P388tk cells exhibited potent bystander killing. In vivo , the growth of tumors, which were produced by injecting P388tk cells or a mixture of 50% P388tk cells and 50% P388 cells into DBA/2 mice, was inhibited , furthermore mice survival periods were prolonged contrasted to control groups. Conclusion: HSVtk/GCV suicide gene system could effectively killed the HSVtk-gene-positive P388tk cells and nearby HSVtk-gene-negative cells by the bystander effect in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To explore the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and outcome of HBV infection. Methods PCR amplification of HBV small S gene in combination with a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was applied to identify HBV genotype in the serum samples of 80 asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC group) and 120 liver cirrhosis patients with HBV infection (LC group) in Gangdong province of China. Results The frequency of HBV genotypes B, C and D in AsC group was 45% (37/80), 33.75%(26/80) and 21.25%(17/80)respectively, and that of HBV genotypes B, C and D in LC group was 32.5%(39/120), 65.8%(79/120) and 1.6%(2/120) respectively. There is no HBV genotypes A, E and F in this series. The distribution of HBV genotypes in the two groups was not significant correlation with the state of HBeAg. There was a significant difference in the distribution of HBV genotypes between the two groups (P

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects with different dosages of sertraline on patients suffering from idiopathic premature ejaculation. Methods IIEF-5 and CIPE questionnaires were completed before the treatment, and 86 patients who met the diagnostic standard of idiopathic premature ejaculation were finally recruited. Subjects were administered sertraline 50 mg/d combined with behavior therapy at stage Ⅰ for 4 weeks. Then, according to the therapeutic effects and the adverse events, all of the patients were divided into 3 groups for stage Ⅱ (another 4 weeks) as ①subjects with good effectiveness but with no or slight adverse events,would continue the treatments ②subjects with no therapeutic effects and with no obvious adverse events were allowed to increase the dosage of sertraline to 100 mg/d;③patients with effectiveness and obvious adverse events were al follows:lowed to reduce the dosage of sertraline to 25 mg/d. Those who had obvious adverse events and no effectiveness quit the study. Results During stage Ⅰ , 63 of 86 patients were effective (73.3%), and 23 patients had no improvement (26. 7%). Thirty-three patients had adverse events (38. 4%), and the remaining 53 patients had no obvious adverse events (61.6%). During stage Ⅱ , of the patients that responded to treatment, 35 patients who had no adverse events and 12 who had slight adverse events continued the treatment. Furthermore, 16 with intolerable adverse events were allowed to reduce the dosage to 25 mg/d. Meanwhile, of those without improvement, 18 subjects without obviousadverse events were allowed to increase the dosage to 100 mg/d, and 5 patients discontinued the treatment. Eight weeks later, among the patients taking 50 mg/d, 47 subjects were effectively with no obvious adverse events. Among the patients taking 25 mg/d, 10 showed improvement, 6 showed no improvement, and 2 had tolerable slight adverse events. Among the patients taking sertraline 100 mg/d,8 witnessed effectiveness, 13 had tolerable adverse events and 2 discontinued the treatment, with 1 having neither effectiveness nor obvious adverse events. The adverse events rate was 21.0% and the total effective rate of 8 weeks of treatment was 80.2 %. Conclusions Sertraline administration is an effective and safe way to treat idiopathic premature ejaculation. Although the effectiveness of the individualized treatment had no obvious improvement comparing routine therapy, there was a notable reduction in the adverse events rate, which increased the patient compliance.
