This article is mainly about the application of wavefront aberration technology in clinical ophthalmology, including refractive surgery, cataract, retinal disease, ophthalmoxerosis, diplopia, keratoconus, etc. The wavefront aberration technology can not only be used to estimate the surgery method of cataract, but estimate the influence of IOL materials and designs on the human eye's image quality, all of which are intend to find the optimal treatment method, and to further decrease the impact that the glare disability and low visual acuity at night produce on the human eyes. Now, the prospect of wavefront aberration application on ophthalmology is cheerful, however, the specifical application technology of wavefront aberration is still in its infancy. The basic research about the accommodation, age and chromatic aberration needs to be intensified. So there is still a bunch of tasks that inferred the clinical ophthalmology application of wavefront aberration for us to process.

Objective To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on quantitative analysis of re?nal cortex perfusion in hypertensive rabbits model. Methods Hypertensive rabbit modal (n=10) were established by inject?ing N-nitro-L-arginin methylester (L-NAME). CEUS and Cystatin C (CysC) serum level analysis were performed at differ?ent time points:before and the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th week after injecting L-NAME. Time-intensity curve and area under curve (AUC) were analyzed quantatively while correlation of AUC and CysC were also analyzed. Results Serum level of Cys C in?creased significantly at the 6th week after L-NAME administration which is earlier than the increase of serum levels of Scr and BUN. AUC decreased at first then increased after L-NAME administration. Upon addition of L-NAME, rise time (RT) and peak intensity (PI) decreased while mean transit time (MTT), time from peak to one half (HPT) and time to peak (TTP) in?creased. Our study confirmed a positive correlation between AUC and Cys C (r=0.950, P<0.001). Conclusion Setting up rabbits model by L-NAME is convenient and reproducible, which is an useful tool in experimental study of preclinical and clinical phase of hypertensive renal injury. CEUS combining with CysC serum level analysis is considered as an effective technology for evaluating renal function in hypertensive patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive T 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer in the context of HER2-targeted therapy. Methods:This study collected the clinical data of 105 female patients with HER2-positive T 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2013 to December 2019. Then, the clinical outcomes of these patients were observed, and the prognostic factors and the efficacy of PMRT were analyzed. Results:The median follow-up time was 50 months (ranging from 14 to 107 months), and the 5-year overall survival (OS), local-regional recurrence-free survival(LRFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were 81.6%, 91.9%, and 76.2%, respectively. The multivariate analysis indicated that independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS include the age, pathologic grade, and tumor size; the independent risk factors for LRFS include positive lymph node ratio (LNR) and hormone receptor (HR) status; and the independent prognostic factor for DFS was PMRT (HR: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.10-8.80, P < 0.05). The subgroup analysis suggested that PMRT significantly improved the OS of various high-risk subgroups ( χ2=4.01-9.18, P < 0.05). However, the further stratified analysis indicated that PMRT only increased the OS of the patients who did not receive HER2-targeted therapy in various high-risk subgroups ( χ2=4.50-6.70, P < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference before and after PMRT for the individuals who received targeted treatment ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:PMRT is an independent prognostic factor for the DFS of patients with HER2-positive T 1-2N 1M 0 breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy. PMRT can improve the OS of high-risk patients with ages < 45 years old, pathologic grade Ⅲ, tumor diameter ≥ 3 cm, LNR > 10%, and HR (-) who received no HER2-targeted therapy. However, the efficacy may be compromised to some extent in the context of the application of HER2-targeted therapy.

Objective:To explore the effects of the deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique on cardiac dosimetry in internal mammary node irradiation with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMN-IMRT) for postoperative left breast cancer.Methods:Totally 23 left breast cancer patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from Octorber 2021 to July 2022 receiving postoperative IMN-IMRT were enrolled in this study. The changes in dosimetric parameters for their heart and left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in the DIBH mode were observed, and the potential factors affecting DIBH effects were analyzed.Results:Compared with the free breath (FB) mode, the DIBH mode manifested a heart volume decrease by 18% ( t = 10.47, P < 0.001), a left lung volume increase by 42% ( t = -14.55, P < 0.001), and significantly reduced dosimetric parameters ( Dmean, Dmax, V5- V30) for the heart and LAD, exhibiting statistically significant differences ( t=-13.38 to -3.30, P<0.05). As indicated by the Pearson correlation analysis, the relative ratio of cardiac dose reduction was positively correlated with that of left lung expansion ( r = 0.82, P < 0.001) and negatively correlated with the patient′age ( r = -0.56, P = 0.005). Conclusions:DIBH can effectively reduce the heart and LAD radiation doses in IMN-IMRT for postoperative left breast cancer and that the patient's age, and the DIBH effects might be affected by the vital capacity.

Objective :
To investigate the expression of milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 protein(MFGE8) in osteosarcoma cell lines and its effects on the proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and migration ability of osteosarco- ma cells(U2OS) .
Methods :
The expression of MFGE8 protein in normal osteoblasts and osteosarcoma cell lines was examined by Western blot method.The relationship between MFGE8 mRNA expression and prognosis of osteo- sarcoma patients was analyzed by GEO database.The effects of down-regulation of MFGE8 on proliferation,apopto- sis,migration and invasion of U2OS cells were examined.
Results :
Western blot method showed that the expres- sion of MFGE8 protein was higher in osteosarcoma cells than that in normal osteoblasts and its was negatively corre- lated with the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients ( all P <0. 05) ; compared with sh-Ctrl ( U2OS cells transfected with the null group) group,the U2OS cells in sh-MFGE8 (U2OS cells transfected with sh-MFGE8) group had de- creased healing rate and invasion number while increased proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate ,and all differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
MFGE8 is highly expressed in U2OS ofosteosar- coma cells,and down-regulation of MFGE8 can inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration of U2OS and in- duce their apoptosis.
