Objective To evaluate the effect on the corneal endothelial cell after phacoemulsification using the microburst mode with high vacuum. Design Prospective,observational case series. Participants 98 age-related cataract patients (120 eyes). Metheds All patients having phacoemulsification with the Alcon Legacy 20000 Everest software were assigned to 1 of 3 groups (the burst mode group,the pulse mode group and the continuous mode group). Main Outcome Measures Actual power,effect phaco time,visual acuity,corneal edema,and corneal endothelial cell loss. Results The mean actual power of the burst group was statistically lower than those of the other two groups,the effect phaco time of the burst group was statistically shorter than those of the other two groups. The corneal edema and the endothelial cell loss of the burst group were less than those of the other two groups. Conclusion The microburst mode with high vacuum increased efficiency of ultrasound power and decreased the loss of endothelial cell. (Ophthalmol CHN,2006,15: 201-205)

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of isokinetic eccentric exercise (IEE)in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Forty patients, including 70 knees with osteoarthritis, were measured and trained by use of Cybex-6000 and its isokinetic exercise system 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The peak of moment, single largest work, average power and accelerate energy of moment of isokinetic speed in 60?/s、120?/s and 180?/s were measured before and after exercise. The scores of pain and lower limb function were compared before and after IEE. Results The parameters of extensor and flexor groups were significantly increased after exercise, especially the parameters of knee flexors. The scores of pain and lower limb function were also improved. Conclusion IEE could improve effectively the function of knee extensors and flexors in patients with knee osteoarthritis, and relieve the pain.

1.5mm)and received CTR scleral fixation.Visual acuity before and after surgery were examined.IOL tilt and decentration were measured with PentaCam system.Complications were also recorded.Main Outcome Measures Postoperative visual improvement,IOL position and complications.Results At the last postoperative examination,best corrected visual acuities of all eyes were increased(P=0.000).The mean IOL tilt was 4.33?2.96?before and 4.11?2.05?after CTR fixation,the mean decentration was 2.56?0.90mm before and 1.19?0.71mm after.No significant differences were found in IOL tilt before and after CTR fixation(P=0.844),but there were significant differences in IOL decentration(P=0.009).Posterior capsular opacification was found in 8 eyes(20.5%)during the follow-up period,and 2 eyes(5.1%)received Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy.1 eye received IOL scleral fixation because of capsule rupture during CTR implantation.2 eyes suffered from temporary IOP elevation after surgery.No other severe complications occurred.Conclusions Phacoemulsification with CTR and IOL implantation is effective and safe for congenital subluxated lenses.CTR scleral fixation is a necessary supplement for severely subluxated lenses and progressive cases.

Objective To observe the effects of action observation therapy based on mirror neuron theory on upper-extremity motor function and performance in activities of daily living(ADL) after stroke.Methods Eightyone stroke patients were randomly assigned to an observational group (41 cases) or a control group (40cases).Both groups received conventional rehabilitation,and the observational group also received action observation therapy for 16 weeks,10 times per week.Upper-extremity motor function and ADL performance were assessed before treatment using the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and the Barthel index (BI) and then again after 4,8 and 16 weeks of treatment.Results The average FMA scores and BI scores in the observational group at the 4th week (32.50 ± 9.32 and 67.41 ± 16.81),the 8th week (36.35 ± 8.32 and 78.74 ± 15.63) and the 16 th week (41.32 ± 13.45 and 93.85 ± 13.45) had increased significantly compared with the pre-treatment assessment and were significantly better than at the same time point for the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Action observation therapy based on mirror neuron theory can promote the recovery of upper-extremity motor function and ADL performance after stroke.

Objective To observe the effects of reinforced trunk and pelvis control training on the motor function of stroke patients. Methods Sixty-two stroke patients were randomly divided into a therapy group and a control group with 31 cases in each group. All were treated with routine medication and regular rehabilitation training.The patients in the therapy group also received trunk and pelvis control training. The Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA) , Barthel index (BI) and functional ambulation categories (FAGs) were used to assess the motor function of the patients before and after treatment. Results After 2 months of treatment there were significant improvements in FMA, BI, FAC and gait in both groups, but the average walking ability in the therapy group was significantly better than that in the control group. Conclusions Reinforced control training of the trunk and pelvis combined with routine rehabilitation improves motor function in hemiplegic stroke patients significantly better than standard rehabilitation alone.
