AIM:To explore and compare effect of coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification in the treatment of cataract.
METHODS:A total of 88 patients(88 eyes) with senile cataract who underwent selective cataract ultrasonic emulsification resorption combined with intraocular lens implantation in the hospital from Aug. 2013 and Aug. 2015 were selected, they were divided randomly into the control group ( 44 cases, 38 cases completed, 6 cases dropped out ) and the observation group ( 44 cases, 40 cases completed, 4 cases dropped out ) . The control group received standard coaxial 3. 0mm small incision phacoemulsification, the observation group received coaxial 1. 8mm micro-incision phacoemulsification. All patients were combined with intraocular lens implantation. Intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy, best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery in the two groups were recorded, corneal endothelium cell population, incision corneal thickness, percentage of cornea hexagon cell, corneal astigmatism changes before the operation, 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation were compared.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy in the two groups(P>0. 05). There was no significant difference in postoperative best corrected visual acuity between the two groups(P>0. 05). Corneal endothelium cell population, percentage of cornea hexagon cell 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment ( P < 0. 05 ), but there was no significant difference in the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Incision corneal thickness 30d after the operation in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05). Degree of corneal astigmatism in the observation group 1d, 7d, and 30d after the operation were significantly lower than the control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Coaxial micro - incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification can improve visual acuity of cataract patients, but the former can reduce degree of corneal astigmatism.

Objective Preparation of a stable and reliable atrioventricular blockage ( AVB) animal model is of great im-portance to anti-arrhythmic drugs and biological engineering research .The aim of the article was to establish a rat model of AVB in-duced by chemical ablation, providing an effective animal model for the development of new drugs . Methods 60 adult SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=15): normal saline (NS) group, Verapmil (Ver) group, chemical ablation group 1 and chemical ablation group 2.0.9%NaCl (5 mg/kg) was injected into caudal vein of each rat in NS group .Verapmil (5 mg/kg) was injected into the caudal vein in Ver group.Anhydrous ethanol(50μL)was injected into atrioventricular groove area in chemical abla-tion group 1.Anhydrous ethanol(50μL) was injected into atrioventricular node area in chemical ablation group 2.The electrocardio-grams of the rats were examined by electrophysiological recorder.HE staining and Connexin 43 (CX43) immunohistochemical tech-nique were applied to atrioventricular junctions of the rats . Results A rat model of AVB was successfully established .Compared with NS group([45 ±2.24]per field of view), there was a significant decrease in the CX43 expressions of chemical ablation group 1 and group 2 ([15.20 ±2.23]per field of view, [22.10 ±4.70]per field of view)(P<0.05).Concerning NS group and Ver group, myocyte tissues of the atrioventricular nodal region were detected to remain in order without obvious changes and the expres-sion of CX43 immunoreactive protein was obvious under light microscope.As to chemical ablation group 1 and group 2, myocyte tissues were in degenerative necrosis and the expression of CX43 im-munoreactive protein was in lighter staining.Compared with Ver group, the incidence rate(73.3%, 60.6%) and the mortality rate (33.3%, 26.7%)of third-degree AVB decreased remarkably(P<0.05). Conclusion Chemical ablation can be induced to estab-lish a stable and reliable rat model of AVB , providing an effective
animal model for the research and development of new anti-arrhythmic drugs.

Objective To investigate the effects of evodiamine on autophagy of human colon a cleno carcinoma lovo cells, and to explore the role and mechanism of autophagy which was induced by evodiamine (EVO). Methods MTT assay combined with the morphologic changes were used to observe the cell viability. Monodansylcadaverine was used to detect autophagy by fluorospectrophotometer and the confocal laser fluorescence microscopy respectively. Immunoblotting assay was used to observe the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3. Finally, evodiamine combined with 3-methyladenine to detect the cell viability with MTT assay and the apoptosis with the flow cytometry, respectively.Results Evodiamine inhibited the viability of Lovo cells in dose-dependent manner ( P < 0. 05 ), especially in 60 μmol/L that was obviously(60% ). Further more, the cell lysis and cell gap widened was observed by the light microscope. Evo triggered the autophagy, and after inhibition the autophagy by 3-MA, the killing capacities of the Evo was enhanced ( P < 0. 01 ). However, autophagy prohibited the apoptosis pathways.Conclusions Evodiamine can trigger the autophagy, which might play a self-defense role in evodiamineinduced cell death. The cytototoxicity of evodiamine can be augmented by the autophagy inhibitors. The joint application of autophagy regulators with the chemotherapeutic agents might enhance the cell killing effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and show a potent role in cancer drug resistance.

"Mistreatment by warming therapy" refers to various symptoms/syndromes caused by improper use of fire methods mentioned in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which are similar to damaged yin induced fire-heat syndrome (injury of yin, consumption of qi, loss of yin, consumption of body fluid) manifested after radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in modern clinics. Better efficacy was obtained in treating various symptoms/syndromes by using nourishing yin purging fire method. In this paper authors focuses on exploring guiding significance of using "Mistreatment by warming therapy" in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

RT-PCR amplification of ginseng ?-amyrin synthase gene was successfully performed based on the total RNAs extracted from ginseng hairy roots induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4 using a modified guanidine isothiocyanate-method. Sequence analysis of this gene revealed that its sequence was consistent with the sequence of a previously reported ginseng ?-amyrin synthase gene (GenBank No. AB009030). This gene was inserted into pMD-119T simple vector and transformed into E.coli DH5?. Furthermore antisense plant expression vector of this gene was constructed using the pBI121 vector, laying foundation for studies on antisense regulation of ginseng ?-amyrin synthase gene.
