Late intraocular lens dislocation is one of the most severe late complications after phacoemulsification.It often occurs 3mo after the surgery.Different from early intraocular lens dislocation, late intraocular lens dislocation is caused by zonular dehiscence and contraction of the capsular bag many years after phacoemulsification.In recent years, the incidence of late intraocular lens dislocation gradually increases, having a risk of 0.1% after 10a and 1.7% after 25a.In the long-term follow-up patients who underwent cataract surgery, 90% had zonular insufficiency and capsular contraction.Among the multiple factors which may contribute to zonular weakness and capsular contraction, pseudoexfoliation is the most common cause, accounting for 50% of all the cases.Other risk factors include aging, high myopia, uveitis, trauma, previous vitreoretinal surgery, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetes mellitus, atopic dermatitis, previous acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, and connective tissue disorders.The understanding of these predisposing factors will suggest necessary preventions for high-risk patients in the future.

Aim To explore how MCP-1 induces neu-rodisorder by determing the effects of MCP-1 on excita-tory postsynaptic current(EPSCs) in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal brain slices .Methods EPSCs, the AMPA receptor-mediated EPSC (EPSCAMPAR ), NMDA receptor mediated EPSCs(EPSCNMDAR) and NR2BR re-ceptor-mediated EPSC ( EPSCNR2BR ) were recorded u-sing whole-cell patch recording techniques to observe the effects of 2.3 nmol· L-1 MCP-1 on pyramidal neu-rons in hippocampal CA1 region.Microtubule-associat-ed protein-2 ( MAP-2 ) staining was used to study whether MCP-1 induced dendritic injuries in hippocam-pal CA1 region and whether NMDAR , AMPAR or CCR2 receptor antagonists had protective effects a-gainst dendritic damage caused by MCP-1.Results ① Bath application of MCP-1 produced a significant enhancement of the amplitudes of EPSCs , EPSCAMPAR and EPSCNMDAR .②Further studies revealed that MCP-1 potentiated EPSC NR2BR; ③ The MCP-1-associated dendritic injuries were blocked by NMDAR , AMPAR and CCR2R antagonists respectively .Conclusions Our results suggest a potential role of MCP-1 which may play in neuroexcitotoxicity and neural injury via NMDA receptor(especially NMDAR subtype NR2BR) and CCR2 receptor .The antagonists of these receptors may have potential therapeutic effect for neurodegener-ation.

Objective The intra-cranial arteries are more affected in Asian ischemic stroke patients. We thought that tandem or diffuse arterial occlusive disease may be more common among patients with extracranial internal carotid artery (ICAex) occlusive disease. In the current study, the frequency of other co-existing extracranial artery ( EA) or intracranial artery ( IA) stenosis in patients with ICAex occlusive disease and its risk factors were studied. Method One hundred and ninety-eight consecutive patients with ischemic stroke or TIA who were admitted to our hospital from Jan 2001 to May 2008 and who had stenosis (70% ) or occlusion of ICAex were enrolled in the study. All the patients were examined with carotid duplex and transcranial Doppler (TCD). Among them, 75 patients were also examined with DSA, 52 patients with intracranial MRA and 25 patients with extra- and intra-cranial CTA. Extracranial artery stenosis or occlusion were diagnosed with DSA/CTA in 93 patients, and with carotid duplex only in 105 patients. Intracranial artery stenosis was diagnosed with DSA/MRA/CTA in 118 patients, and with TCD only in 80 patients. Patients with presumably cardioembolism such as atrial fibrillation were excluded. Results Among the 198 patients, 172 (86. 8% ) had other combined EA or IA stenosis. One hundred and thirty-five patients (135/198, 68.2%) had other combined EA stenosis, which were more frequently found in the contralateral ICAex (71/198, 35.9%). One hundred and twenty-three patients (123/198, 62. 1%) had combined IA stenosis, which were more frequently found in MCA (75/198, 37.9%). 52 (52/198, 26. 3% ) had ipsilateral terminal ICA and/or middle cerebral artery stenosis. Conclusion Tandem or diffuse arterial occlusive disease is common among patients with steno-occlusion of ICAex . Therefore, it is important to evaluate other EA and IA stenosis before CEA or CAS in Chinese patients.

cerebral infarction as compare with patients at Grade 1-2 in both vascular locations, whereas the risk was not significantly increased in patients at Grade 3-4 in only one vascular location. Conclusions The simple method of assessing the degree of arterial atherosclerosis can be used to evaluate carotid artery and lower-extremity artery atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients with plaques or stenosis in both vascular locations were with a significantly increased risk of coronary heart disease or cerebral infarction if they were evaluated concurrently.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at local points plus point injection on House-Brackmann facial nerve function classification grade (H-B) and facial disability index (FDI) in pregnant women with Bell palsy (BP). Methods:A total of 40 eligible BP patients during pregnancy were randomized into a treatment group (n=20) and a control group (n=20). The treatment group was intervened by EA at Sizhukong (TE 23), Tongziliao (GB 1), Sibai (ST 2), Quanliao (SI 18), Yifeng (TE 17), Dicang (ST 4), Jiache (ST 6) and point injection at Zusanli (ST 36) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) on the affected side, 30 min every time, 10 sessions as a course, for 2 courses in total while control group by EA with the same points, manipulation and courses as the treatment group. Results:After the treatment, the H-B classification in the treatment group was better than that in the control group, with a significant inter-group difference (P<0.05); after the treatment, the change of FDI score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:EA at local points plus point injection can produce a more significant efficacy than EA in the treatment of BP during pregnancy.
