Bilateral sequential cataract surgery is very common in clinical,but the ophthalmologists often ignore how to choose the timing of operation and whether the first eye can be used to improve the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation for the second one.Despite the refinements in IOL selection with the use of third-generation IOL formulas,5％ of eyes still result in a postoperative refractive surprise of ± 1.00 D or more.This paper introduced the methods of using refraction error of the first eye to improve the IOL power calculation for the second eye,and the refractive error of the second eye can be improved by modifying the IOL power to correct up to 50％ of the error from the first eye in details.Because of the variation of the postoperative refractive surprise within a month,the interval of three to four weeks between two eyes cataract surgery is highly recommended.These conclusions may provide the advantageous guidance for us in the selection of IOL in bilateral cataract surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium in Chinese patients after thoracic surgery. METHODS: Thirteen patients were enrolled in the study and were given a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium via a subcutaneous injection. Plasma concentrations of fondaparinux sodium were measured throughout a 24 h period. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin software. RESULTS: The following pharmacokinetic parameters were derived; t1/2(7.92 ± 3.13) (4.21-15.89) h, tmax(2.52 ± 0.93) (1.38-4) h, p-1 (0.73 ± 0.18) (0.45-1.02) mg · L-1, AUClast(6. 56 ± 2.19) (3.07-9. 75)mg · h · L-1, Vz/F(3.54 ± 1.00) (2.24-5.73) L, CL/F(0.34 ± 0.14) (0.16-0.63) L · h-1, and MRTlast (6.98 ± 2.1) h. The pearson correlation coefficient, r was 0.7283(P = 0.005) between the serum creatinine(Scr) and mean residence time(MRTlast) of fondaparinux. CONCLUSION: The disposition of fondaparinux is highly variable in patients. A statistical significant correlation between Scr and MRTlast of fondaparinux was observed. Fondaparinux sodium administered by intravenous injection is well tolerated in patients.

Liposome-mediated nucleic acid delivery has been a focus recently, but in the course of delivering nucleic acid, some hurdles seriously limit the nucleic acid exerting treatment effect. This review refers to a series of problems such as low blood stability, reticuloendothelial system absorption, the lower targeting of liposome and the restriction of endosomal escape which are suffered in liposome-mediated nucleic acid delivery; and gives a detail introduction of strategies such as PEGylation, ligand modification, photochemical internalization, the application of degradation liposome and membrane-lytic peptide, to overcome those problems.

The microarray technology used in biological and medical research provides a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. To find different types of cancer and to classify the cancer samples accurately, we propose a new cluster ensemble framework Dual Neural Gas Cluster Ensemble (DNGCE), which is based on neural gas algorithm, to discover the underlying structure of noisy cancer gene expression profiles. This framework DNGCE applies the neural gas algorithm to perform clustering not only on the sample dimension, but also on the attribute dimension. It also adopts the normalized cut algorithm to partition off the consensus matrix constructed from multiple clustering solutions. We obtained the final accurate results. Experiments on cancer gene expression profiles illustrated that the proposed approach could achieve good performance, as it outperforms the single clustering algorithms and most of the existing approaches in the process of clustering gene expression profiles.

Objective: To assess the clinical application of transabdominal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of achalasia. Methods: The subjects were divided into 3 groups, with 8 patients suffered from achalasia as patient group, 10 normal individuals and 8 patients with cardiac carcinoma as controls. All subjects received water provocative test to study the lower esophagus and cardia. Sonographic findings were compared between the 3 groups. After treatment by administration of drugs, pneumatic balloon dilation, or intrasphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, the 8 patients were re examined by TAUS for longitudinal comparison. Results: (1)The normal subjects had no dilation of cardia and lower esophagus before drinking water, but their cardias opened rapidly with the drinking action. (2)All the patients of achalasia were found to have dilation of lower esophagus before taking water. During 10 min continuous TAUS scanning, 5 of 8 demonstrated absence of relaxation of cardias and absence of water from the esophagus into the stomach. The other 3 showed slight and intermittent relaxation of cardias with water flow into the stomach. Thirty minutes after water provocative test, all the 8 patients had water retardation within the lower esophagus. (3)The patients of cardiac carcinoma had an ultrasound feature of cardiac ring enlargement and thickening of cardiac wall without dilation of lower esophagus before water provocative test. Water passed the cardia more slowly. Conclusion: TAUS is a readily accepted examination. It can quickly give reliable diagnostic clues to achalasia. TAUS can also be used for making assessment of therapeutic effect on achalasia. [

Aim Effect of various absorption enhancers on the insulin colonic absorption was investigated. Methods The hypoglycemic effect was examined after colon delivery of INS SOL co administered with various absorption enhancers and the pharmacological bioavailability (PA) was calculated. Results INS SOL (5 U?kg -1 ) containing eucalyptol, sodium caprate, sodium deoxycholate and menthol significantly decreased the blood glucose level ( P
