Objective Amblyopia is common disease in children. It can cause visual suppression that damage binocular vision function especially to the development of stereopsis. The objective of this study was to investigate the stereoscopic vision in children with different types and degrees of amblyopia. Methods This is a clinical retrospective comparative analysis. 178 children with amblyopia from Sichuan Provincial Corps Hospitial CAPF were enrolled in this study. Approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity, uncrossed disparity were examined with Yan' s stereogram. The classification of stereogram based on the criteria of Okuda. The degree of amblyopia was graded based on the corrected vision acuity. Results The differences in the eyes and percentage of approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity, uncrossed disparity among refractive amblyopia group, anisopia amblyopia group and strabismic amblyopia group were statistically significant, respectively(χ~2 =13. 979, P =0. 001; χ~2 = 15. 198, P = 0. 001 ; χ~2 =6. 974, P = 0. 031) . Approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity in mild amblyopia were better than of medium amblyopia in ametropic amblyopic children (P < 0. 05) . No statistically significant difference in the eye number and percentage of uncrossed disparity was found between mild and moderate refractive ametropia (P > 0. 05) . The same outcomes also were seen in approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity, uncrossed disparity between mild and medium anisopia amblyopia (P > 0. 05) . No statistically significant differences in the eye number and percentage of approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity were found between mild and moderate strabismic amblyopia (P >0. 05) . Conclusion Amblyopia affects the development of stereoacuity. Amblyopia is aggravated with the increase of amblyopia degrees. The influence of amblyopia on stereoscopic vision is most mild in refractive ametropic and most serious in strabismic amblyopia.

OBJECTIVE:To study the hypoglycemic effects of Insulin self-microemulsion for parenteral administration on mod-el rats with type 1 diabetes in vivo. METHODS:Rats were treated with streptozotocin(50 mg/kg)to reproduce model with type 1 diabetes,ip. The model rats were randomly divided into model group (normal saline),positive control group (Insulin injection 2.25 u/kg) and self-microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups (Insulin self-microemulsion 4.5,9 and 18 u/kg);and 10 normal rats were involved in sham-operation group (normal saline). Anesthesia and operation were conducted for all rats. Positive control group was administrated,ip;other rats were parenterally administrated. The blood glucose levels in groups were detected be-fore and after 15-600 min administration. Glucose tolerance test was conducted for the rats in normal control group,model group without glucose,model group with glucose and microemulsion group (Insulin self-microemulsion 9 u/kg). All group were given glucose except model group without glucose. RESULTS:Compared with sham-operation group,the blood glucose levels in model group within 0-240 min were increased,with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared with model group,there was hypoglyce-mic trend in positive control group after 15 min,the blood glucose levels within 30-480 min were decreased,the hypoglycemic peak was 36%,and the peak time was 30 min;there was also hypoglycemic trend in microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups after 30 min,the blood glucose levels within 45-360 min were decreased,hypoglycemic peak was 18%-21%,and the peak time was 90-120 min,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). All rats had glucose absorption peak except for model group without glucose in glucose tolerance test,and glucose of rats in microemulsion group reached its peak and then quickly de-creased. CONCLUSIONS:Insulin self-microemulsion can obviously reduce the blood glucose of model rats with type 1 diabetes.

Objective To explore changes in circulating endothelial cells(CECs)numbers in neonatal hypoxemia and its clinical significance.Methods Hladovec method was used to measure the quantity of CECs in 40 cases of neonatus with different degree of hypoxemia(hypoxemia group),and 20 matched healthy newborns were enrolled as control group.Results The numbers of CECs in hypoxemia group were much more than those in control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Meanwhile,there were significant differences in CECs numbers between moderate group and mild group(t =13.43,P <0.05),as well as moderate group and severe group(t=7.698,P <0.05).Conclusion The quantity of circulating ECEs in hypoxic neonatus is correlated with the hy-poxic severity,which may be used as early diagnostic indicator for hypoxemia,and could provide new scientific evidences for early diagnosis,illness judgment and curative effect evaluation.

Objective To observe the inhibition of piperlongumine in vitro on platelet aggregation and blood coagulation tests for children,to provide the experimental basis for clinical medication.Methods Venous blood samples from 30 children were randomly devided into 5 groups,and was centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP).After storing in 37 ℃ thermostat water bath for 5 minutes,the PRP which have been added DMSO as blank group,and added Aspirin (10 μmol/L)as control group,and added PL (20 μmol/L),PL(100 μmol/L),PL(200 μmol/L) as different concentrations of PL groups respectively,were induced by the addition of adenosine diphosphate (10 μmol/L),collagen(2.5 μg/mL) and the arachidonic acid(500 μg/mL).Then the platelet aggregation rate of the PRP from 5 groups could be measured by turbidimetry.Blood plasma isolated from venous blood was divided into 5 groups.In the PL groups,blood plasma were mixed up with PRP concentrations of which were 5,10,20 μmol/L.In the bland group,blood plasma were mixed up with DMSO (1%).In the control group,blood plasma were mixed up with heparin sodium(35 U/mL).After storing in 37 ℃ thermostat water bath for 5 minutes,fibrinogen(FIB),prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT) and activated partial thromboplastin time of different groups were detected.Results Compared to the control group,the groups which were add PL with different concentrations (20,100,200 μmol/L) showed significant inhibition on platelet aggregation induced by AA and collagen(P<0.05).PL with concentrations of 100 μmol/L and 200 μmol/L showed significant inhibition on platelet aggregation induced by ADP(P<0.05).The PT,APTT,TT of blood plasma from children had been significantly prolonged by the intervention of PL 10 μmol/L and PL 20 μmol/L(P<0.05),however,no significant change of FIB was observed.Conclusion There are inhibitory effects of PL on platelet aggregation of blood plasma from children and anticoagulant activity in this study.

Objective To evaluate the effects of oxycodone combined with incision infiltration with ropivacaine on postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 33-64 yr,weighing 45-88 kg,scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n=40 each) using a random number table:patient-controlled intravenous analgesia group (group P) and oxycodone combined with incision infiltration group (group O).In group P,fentanyl 1-2 μg/kg was intravenously infused after cholecystectomy,and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was performed with sufentanil at the end of surgery.In group O,oxycodone 0.05-0.10 mg/kg was intravenously injected after cholecystectomy,incision infiltration was performed with 0.5% ropivacaine before suturing,and visual analog scale score was maintained ≤ 3.The emergence time,time to first flatus,time to liquid diet,first ambulation time,length of hospital stay after operation and adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group P,the time to first flatus,time to liquid diet,first ambulation time and length of hospital stay after operation were significantly shortened,the incidence of urinary retention and nausea and vomiting was decreased (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the emergence time in group O (P>0.05).Conclusion Combination of oxycodone and incision infiltration with ropivacaine can promote postoperative outcomes in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
