To evaluate the efficacy and safety of limbal relaxing incision ( LRl) for correcting corneal astigmatism during implantable collamer lens ( lCL) surgery.METHODS:A total of 185 eyes of 105 patients with high myopia and corneal keratometric astigmatism were included in the study. lCL surgery with concomitant relaxing incision was performed in 105 eyes of 60 patients in LRls group ( Group A) . Eighty eyes of 45 patients only underwent lCL surgery were in control group ( Group B) . All patients undergone ophthalmic examination that included uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best -corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , Pentacam analysis system to observe the changes of corneal astigmatism before and 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery.RESULTS: Respectively comparing UCVA between two groups in 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the P values were considered statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ). But, respectively comparing BCVA between two groups in 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the P values were considered no statistically significant ( P > 0. 05 ). Preoperative corneal astigmatism was 1. 52 ± 0. 55D in group A and 1. 48 ± 0. 57D in group B, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). One week postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0. 55 ± 0. 41D in group A and 1. 20 ± 0. 48D in group B. One month postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0. 60 ± 0. 38D in group A and 0. 93 ± 0. 47D. Three months postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0. 51 ± 0. 32D in group A and 0. 96 ± 0. 40D in group B. The difference between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ). The difference value of corned astigmatism before surgery and 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery had statistical significance ( P<0. 05). ln LRls group, at preoperative and postoperative time points, the average corneal astigmatism changes were also considered statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: LRls performed during lCL surgery appeared to be an effective and safer procedure to reduce pre-existing corneal astigmatism and improve UCVA as well as the visual quality.

BACKGROUND: Bone defect repair is a difficulty in orthopedic field all the time, researches on the tissue engineered bone tissue have provided completely new thoughts and methods for bone defect repair, and it is an important link to detect the biocompatibility of the biomaterials.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biocompatibility of PCL with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiments were carried out in the orthopedic laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Healthy 4 to 8-week-old New Zealand rabbits of about 2 kg were used.METHODS: ① Bone marrow was extracted from bilateral femurs of the rabbits, then mixed into 10 mL RPMI1640 complete medium, and then entered the passage culture. ② The cells were inoculated and then divided into PCL group and control group, the cells were only inoculated in the control group, and the BMSCs were co-cultured with PCL in vitro in the PCL group. The morphological observed, cell proliferation, protein content and enzymological determinations were conducted.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The growth and the adhesion of BMSCs on PCL biomaterials were mainly observed.RESULTS: In the control group, most of the BMSCs changed to the shape of fusiform or multi-angles. In the PCL group, the BMSCs could adhere and proliferate on PCL, and the growth and function were not affected, PCL also played a certain role in promoting the cell proliferation.CONCLUSION: PCL possess satisfactory biocompatibility, and it is possible to be used as the carrier of BMSCs in tissue engineering.

Objective:To investigate the effect of genistein,a soybean-derived isoflavone,on thestimulating effect on bone resorption of IL-1?.Methods:The osteoclasts(OCs)were isolated with themethods of Yu Shifeng.The rat calvaria were cultured as an organ.The cells in the experiment weregrown in four respectively:Control(without genistein or IL-1?),10~(-6) mol/L genistein,10 ?g/L IL-1?and 10~(-6) mol/L genistein+10 ?g/L IL-1?.The area of bone resorption,the concentration of Ca~(2+) in thesupernatant liquid of OCs cultures and mice calvaria were tested.The contents of acid phosphatase(ACP)were also examined by biochemistry method.The index of bone resorption was counted as the ra-tio of the experiment average and control ones,which indicated the increase in bone resorption when itwas above 1.0.Results:The area of bone resorption of 10~(-6) mol/L genistein+10 ?g/L IL-1? increasedcompared with that of 10~(-6) mol/L genistein,while the concentration of Ca~(2+) in the supernatant liquid ofOCs cultures decreased significantly.The index of bone resorption of 10~(-6) mol/L genistein+10 ?g/L IL-1? lied between 10~(-6) mol/L genistein and 10 ?g/L IL-1?.In the organ culture,there was no differencein the content of ACP among all the groups,The index of bone resorption of 10~(-6) mol/L genistein+10?g/L IL-1? was below that of 10?g/L IL-1?,but both were above 1.0.The index of bone resorptionwas below 1.0 in the group of 10~(-6) mol/L genistein.Conclusion:Genistein can suppress obviously thebone resorption simulated by single IL-1?.

Objective To evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of propofol used to supplement spinal anesthesia for sedation in the pediatric patients undergoing lower abdominal or lower extremity operations.Methods One hundred twenty pediatric patients of both sexes, aged 2-5 yr, weighing 11-21 kg, of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ , scheduled for elective lower abdominal or lower extremity operations were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =40 each) using a random number table: general anesthesia group (group G), propofol used to supplement caudal block for sedation group (group PS+CB) , and propofol used to supplement spinal anesthesia for sedation group (group PS+SA).In group G, after induction of anesthesia, laryngeal mask airway was inserted, the patients were then mechanically ventilated, and anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol (5-7 mg· kg-1 · h-1), remifentanil (20-25 μg· kg-1 · h 1) and cisatracurium besylate (0.1 mg· kg-1 · h 1).In group PS+CB, caudal block was performed with the mixture 0.8 ml/kg of 1％ lidocaine and 0.25％ bupivacaine.In group PS+SA, spinal anesthesia was performed with isobaric bupivacaine 1.0 mg/age.Propofol was then infused at 3-5 mg · kg-1 · h-1 for sedation in PS+CB and PS+SA groups.Before anesthesia (baseline, T0) and at 1, 5 and 10 min after emergence from anesthesia (T1-3) , heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were recorded.The emergence time, time for recovery of orientation, and duration of stay in postanesthesia care unit were recorded.Pain was assessed and scored, and agitation was graded at 5 min after emergence from anesthesia, and the occurrence of intraoperative traction reaction, body movement and nausea and vomiting within 24 h after operation was recorded.Results No intraoperative traction reaction and body movement was found in group PS+SA, and no patients stayed in postanesthesia care unit in PS+CB and PS+SA groups.HR and MAP were significantly higher at T1-3 than at T0 in group G (P＜0.05).Compare with group G, the HR, MAP at T1-3, pain scores, agitation scores, incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly decreased, and the emergence time and time for recovery of orientation were shortened in groups PS+CB and PS+SA (P＜0.05).Conclusion Propofol used to supplement spinal anesthesia for sedation is effective and provides faster recovery from anesthesia with fewer complications in the pediatric patients undergoing lower abdominal or lower extremity operations.

Objective To evaluate the clinicopathological features,treatments and prognostic factors of male breast cancer (MBC) patients.Methods Clinical data of 102 MBC patients with histopathology confirmation at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results All 102 cases got follow-up.The follow-up rate was 100％.The follow-up period was 3-279 months.The mean follow-up period was 65 months.During the follow-up period,recurrence was found in 21 cases,metastasis occurred in 28 cases (including pulmonary metastasis in 8,osseous metastasis in 7,hepatic metastasis in 9,brain metastasis in 3,and soft tissues and adrenal gland metastasis in 1).The 5-year disease free survival rate was 54.3％ and the 5-year overall survival rate was 72.8％.Univariate analysis showed that tumor size,axillary lymph node status,TNM stage,chemotherapy influenced the disease free and overall survival.Multivariate Cox regression shows that axillary lymph node status (P =0.085)was the independent prognostic factor of disease free survival for MBC.Tumor size(P =0.041)and axillary lymph node (P =0.024) status were independent prognostic factors of overall survival for MBC.Conclusions Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment strategy consisting of radical mastectomy is essential to improve the survival of patients with MBC.
