Objective To assess the clinical outcomes about the visual qulitity of toric implantable contact lens ( TICL) implantation for high myopia with astigmatism. Methods Fifty-two eyes of 27 patients that underwent TICL implantation were examined. Uncorrected visual acuity( UCVA) ,best corrected visual acuity( BCVA) ,refraction,contrast sensitivity ( CS) with and without glare were evaluated before and after the treatment. Results Significant improvement in UCVA and BCVA were found at 1 month and 6 months after treatment (P<0. 05). The refraction at 1 month ( -0. 56 ± 0. 42)D and 6 months ( -0. 58 ± 0. 22)D after treatment were of no significant difference (P>0. 05), and the astigmatism at 1 month ( -0. 35 ± 0. 60)D and 6 months ( -0. 31 ± 0. 42)D after treatment were of no significant difference either (P>0. 05). The CS with and without glare were all significantly better than results before operation for 6. 0,12. 0 and 18. 0 cycles/degree (P<0. 05),but there were no significant difference between 1 month and 6 months after treatment (P>0. 05). No significant difference were found preoperatively,1 month after treatment and 6 months after treatment in terms of CS with and without glare (P>0. 05). The satisfaction of this investigation was 100%. Conclusion The TICL performed well in correcting high myopia with astigmatism,and it is a good surgical option for the treatment.

To investigate the effect of CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpression on oxidative stress in Candida albicans,we evaluated the effect of H2O2 on cell viability in C.albicans overexpressing genes CDR1 /CDR2 or MDR1 and their parent strains.After establishing an oxidative stress model with H2O2,we detected reactive oxygen species (ROS),mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and the expression of oxidative stress response-related genes (CAP1 and GRP2) and ROS clearance related-genes (SOD2 and SOD5).The results showed that C.albicans growth were inhibited by 100% after the treatment of 5 mmol/L H2O2.HeO2 caused more ROS accumulation and Δψm reduction in parent strains than in CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpressed strains (P<0.05).Compared to parent strains,the up-regulated expression of CAP1 and GRP2 were relatively less in CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpressed strains,moreover,the down-regulated expression of SOD2 and SOD5 were also relatively less in CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpressed strains (P<0.05).In conclusion,the overexpression of CDR1/CDR2 and MDR1 genes could reduce the oxidative stress response and enhance the adaptability of C.albicans to oxidative stress.

Objective To compare the effects of airway humidification by intermittent atomization inhalation and micro pump control on pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in elderly patients with serebral hemorrhage. Methods From February 2012 to February 2013, 46 elderly patients with heavy craniocerebral injury and tracheotomy were set as the control group, treated with intermittent atomization inhalation. From March 2013 to March 2014, 50 elderly patients with severe craniocerebral injury and tracheotomy were set as the observation group, treated with micro pump controlled continuous airway humidification. The two groups were compared in terms of the satisfaction rate and incidence of pulmonary infection. Result The satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group and the incidence of pulmonary infection was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Micro pump controlled airway humidification for elderly patients with severe craniocerebral injury can improve the airway humidification effect and reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection.
