1.Recent progress on study of the selection of intraocular lens in the bilateral sequential cataract surgery
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2014;32(6):560-562
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.

The antimicrobial peptide magainin II is expressed in the skin of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, and exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity as well as tumoricidal properties at low concentrations. In addition, magaininII plays a synergistic role during antimicrobial and tumoricidal processes with another antimicrobial peptide PGLa that is also expressed in Xenopus laevis. The optimized cDNA sequence of magainin II and magainin II-PGLa hybrid peptide according to E. coli or Pichia pastoris codon usage frequency were synthesized and sub-cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX and Pichia pastoris secreted expression vector pPIC9k. The resulting recombinant plasmids were named as pGEX-magainin II and pPIC9k-magainin II-PGLa. The GST-magainin II fusion protein was highly expressed in E. coli. Furthermore, magainin II was successfully purified by digestion with PreScission Protease to cleave the GST tag. Additionally, our data obtained from the ELISA revealed that magainin II -PGLa hybrid peptide was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris. These experiments establish a useful system for further studies of these antimicrobial peptides.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(16):43-46
Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of thyroid dysfunction induced after interferon therapy in patients with chronic viral hepatitis.Methods The clinical data of 96 chronic viral hepatitis patients received interferon therapy were analyzed retrospectively.Serological markers of thyroid function and thyroid autoantibodies changes were observed,and were followed up for 1 year after treatment.Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate risk factors of thyroid dysfunction.Results Among the 96 cases,84 cases didn't develop thyroid dysfunction after interferon therapy(normal group),and 12 cases developed thyroid dysfunction after interferon therapy (abnormal group),the incidence was 12.5% (12/96),there were 5 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis,3 cases of Graves disease,3 cases of destructive thyroiditis,and 1 case of non-autoimmune hypothyroidism.The time to develop thyroid dysfunction was 2-7 (3.8 ± 1.9) months after treatment,the duration of thyroid dysfunction was 1-11 (4.2 ± 0.9) months.Five patients received endocrine therapy,and 2 patients stopped interferon therapy.All patients regained normal thyroid function during 1-year followup after end of treatment.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female gender (OR =3.767) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (OR =1.117) were the independent risk factors for thyoid dysfunction.Conclusions Hashimoto's thyroiditis,Graves disease,destructive thyroiditis and non-autoimmune hypothyroidism are the main types of thyroid dysfunction induced after interferon therapy in patients with chronic viral hepatitis.The thyroid function and thyroid autoantibodies should be closely monitored during treatment in patients with chronic viral hepatitis receiving interferon therapy,especially in female and patients who have thyroid autoantibodies.
10.Common hemodynamic classification of circulatory failure and therapy principles
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2012;19(3):220-223
According to the hemodynamic changes,circulatory failure is divided into warm shock and cold shock,and severe circulatory failure often co-exist in both conditions in children.Circulatory failure in children is characterized by rapid change on hemodynamic status,pathologic vasodilation,relative or absolute hypovolemia,myocardial depression,altered blood flow distribution,and metabolic disorders.Therapeutic strategies include improving cardiac output and tissue perfusion,achieving SVO2>70% and cardiac index to 3.3~6.0 L/( min· m2 ),ensuring the intravascular blood volume and cardiac load.
