Objective:To investigate the efficacy of warm acupuncture at Biguan(ST 31) in treating post-apoplectic restless legs syndrome. Methods:Fifty patients were randomly divided into treatment and control groups by a waiting control method in order of hospitalization. The treatment group received deep acupuncture at point Biguan(ST 31) plus moxibustion and the control group took L-dopa orally. The curative effects were compared after 28 days' treatment. Results: The total efficacy rate was 76.00% in the treatment group and 26.00% in the control group. There was a significant difference. Conclusion:Warm acupuncture at Biguan(ST 31) is effective in treating post-apoplectic restless legs syndrome.

AIM: To compare the measurement of anterior chamber depth(ACD) inclusive of corneal thickness using intrao-cular lens(IOL) master and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and evaluate the repeatability of each method.METHODS: Two consecutive measurements of ACD were prospectively performed using IOL master and UBM in 60 eyes in 60 individuals. Mean values were compared using the paired t test. For each individual, ACD measure-ments was performed 5 times to estimate the repeatability of each method by a coefficient of variation(CV).RESULTS: The mean ACD was 2.95±0.25mm with the IOL master and 2.96±0.22mm with the UBM. This diffe-rence was not statistically significant (P=0.631).The coefficient of variation (CV) was 0.56%±0.26% and 0.65%± 0.36% in IOL master and UBM, respectively.CONCLUSION: The mean ACD of IOL master was the same as UBM. The repeatability of IOL master is better than UBM.

To assess the impact of the operational simulation training system on the cultivation of ophthalmic students.
●METHODS: Four hundred and eighty ophthalmic students in China Medical University from 2009 to 2011 were chosen as objects and divided into two groups at random. The students in the experimental group used operation simulation training system combined with traditional teaching methods, while the students in the control group only used traditional teaching methods. We examined the operation skills and the confidence of all the students half a year later.
●RESULTS: The improvement of the operation skills during the suture technique examination, and the confidence for operation technology were significantly different in two groups. The basic skills of the students in the examination groups improved apparently during the operational simulation training and they were full of confidence to their operational technique.
●CONCLUSlON: The operational simulation training is useful for promoting the clinical ability for ophthalmic students and should be widely popularized.

Objective In order to offer a noninvasive and objective examination method for assessing the clinical diagnosis and eurative criterion of concussion patients, the patients color three - dimensional transcranial doppler( 3D - TCD) characteristic at deferent phases, parameter and clincal manifestation were studied Method Parameter of Median Cerebral Artery(MCA), Base Artery(BA), the average peak forwand velocity of cerebral blood flow, train figure were tested by 3D - TCD within 24 hours, 3 - 6 days and at the end of treatment, respectively. The results were compared with clinical diagnoses and curative criterion. Result Among 135 patients who had clinically diagnosed concussion, agreeable diagnoses 101 cases, basically agreeable diagnooses 12 cases, disagreeable diagnosis 22 cases(16. 2%) .At the end of treatment, according to clinical determination 96 cases(71.1%) were cured, 39 cases(28.9%) were improved. Wave train character, figure and diagnoses prameter of cerebral spasm caused by concussion were suggested Conclusion To be one of the diagnostic bases and curative criterion, 3D- TC D technology is performable. Meanwhile, it is a new testing objective technique for assessing curative and determining prognosis.

Objective To study the morphological characteristics of craniofacial contour in ageing.Methods Craniofacial morphology was examined in a sample of 20 young men and 20 old men.By multi-slice helical CT,a computer reconstruction technique was used to produce three dimensional images and 3-D reconstruction data were analyzed quantitatively.Results Compared with the young men,old men increased with midface(Zy-Zy),lower face(Go-Go),supraorbital projection(Fb-Sr,T-So),midface depth (N-Po),and lower facial depth(T-Gn),and decreased with maxillary height(N-Sd) and upper facial width(Ft-Ft,T-T).Conclusion Facial width and depth and supraorbital projection tend to be increased and facial height decreased with ageing.
