Background The biomeasurement and imageology of retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL) thickness showed the damage of retinal structure in the early and middle stage of glaucomatous eye,however,the subtle functional damage of glaucoma can not be timely reflected only with automatic static perimeter.Microperimetry is a method of quantitatively assessing mean sensitivity (MS) of macular zone.Objective This study was to evaluate and compare the macular functional change in early and middle stage of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) with MP-1 microperimeter.Metbods This trail protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Peiking University Third Hospital,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the study group.A cross-sectional and case-controlled study was designed.A total of 126 eyes from 126 subjects were enrolled in the trail,including 53 eyes of 53 normal subjects,50 eyes of POAG patients and 23 eyes of CACG patients.A macular 10° program was set with MP-1 microperimetry to record the MS of various subareas.The macula was zoned into central 2°,6°,and 10° visual fields and 4 quadrants in each ring.The MS of different rings and subareas was detected and compared among POAG patients,CACG patients and normal controls.Results The MS values of central 2°,6°,10° and whole macular area were (15.09 ± 3.03),(15.72 ± 3.22),(13.99 ± 3.63) and (14.91±3.07)dB in the POAG group,which were significantly lower than those of (17.29±1.59),(18.05±1.24),(16.76±1.89) and (17.37±1.46)dB in the normal control group (all at P=0.000).The MS values of central 2°,6°,10° and whole macular area was (16.00±2.39),(15.83±2.63),(14.45±3.15) and (15.42±2.54) dB in the CACG group,and the reduced MSs were seen at the 6°,10° rings and whole macular area in the CACG group compared with the normal control group (P =0.004,0.013,0.011).Within the 6° ring,the MS values in the inferotemporal quadrant were declined in the POAG group and CACG group compared with the normal control group (P =0.000,0.022),but the difference was not statistically significant between the POAG group and the CACG group (P =0.311).In addition,the MS value in the inferonasal quadrant was significantly lower than that of the normal control group (P =0.005); while that in the CACG group was not significantly different in comparison with the normal control group (P=0.119).In the POAG group,the MS value of the inferotemporal quadrant was significantly lower than that of the superonasal or superotemopral quadrant (P =0.043,0.016),but no significant differences were found among the 4 quadrants in the CACG group (all at P>0.05).Conclusions The mild damage of retinal function appears in the early and middle stage of POAG and CACG.More serious MS reducing occurs in the inferotemporal and inferonasal quadrants of POAG.

Objective To package the recombinant lentivirus containing HIV-1 Vpr gene and detect the effect of Vpr protein expression on the latent infection and lyric replication of KSHV.Methods The fragment of Vpr gene from expression plasmid pCI-neo-Vpr was cloned into the lentivirus vector pHAGE-CMV-MCS-IzsGreen,then the recombinant plasmid pHAGE-Vpr,package vector psPAX2 and envelope vector pMD2.G were cotransfected into 293T cells.GFP expression was observed by fluorescent microscopy.Culture media of 293T cells were harvested and filtered through 0.45 μm filter.After 293T cells were infected by a series of diluted lentivirus,the virus titer was checked by observing GFP expression.Vpr mRNA transcripts in 293T cells were detected by RT-PCR.Then BCBL-1 cells were infected by the recombinant lentivirus with 1 MOI,GFP expression was observed by fluorescent microscopy,and the mRNA transcripts and protein expression of Vpr in BCBL-1 cells were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.Meanwhile,the mRNA transcripts and protein expression of KSHV lytic cycle gene Rta were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results The recombinant lentivirus carrying HIV-1 Vpr was packaged successfully with the virus titer of 4 × 107 TU/ml.After infected with lentivirus,BCBL-1 cells could express GFP,and the exact band of Vpr was detectable by RT-PCR and Western blot.Moreover,the expression of KSHV Rta mRNA and protein were downregulated by Vpr protein.Conclusion Overexpression of HIV-1 Vpr mediated by the recombinant lentivirus could inhibit KSHV lytic replication and enhance KSHV latent infection.

To explore the clinical characteristic and intervention strategies for pregnancy complicated with heart failure. The clinical data of 67 pregnant women with heart failure during January 1998 to December 2010 were collected and analyzed.The rate of heart failure in pregnancy with heart diseases was 31% (67/216).The causes of pregnancy complicated with heart failure were peripartum cardiomyopathy ( n =33,49% ) and hypertensive disorder complicating with pregnancy heart disease( n =28,42% ).Heart failure in pregnancy appeared at an average of (36.0 ± 2.7 ) weeks.The average terminating time of pregnant women with heart failure was ( 36.5 ± 2.1 ) weeks.Cesarean section was the main safe choice of delivery for pregnant women with heart failure.The average weight of newborns for pregnant women with heart failure was(2517 ±541 )g.The rate of neonatal asphyxia was 22% (11/50).Strengthening routine antenatal examination and treating pregnant complications timely can prevent and reduce the incidence of heart failure.

·AlM: To investigate the distribution and related factors of corneal spherical aberration in the age-related cataract patients, and to provide a scientific basis for the application of aspheric intraocular lens ( lOL ) in cataract surgery patients.
· METHODS: Retrospective study of 509 age -related cataract patients of 610 eyes in our hospital. Corneal spherical aberration, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism and corneal Q -value were examined by iTrace visual function analysis. Statistical software SPSS16.0 was used to analyze statistically.
· RESULTS: The range of corneal spherical aberration was 0 ~1.800μm. The mean coefficient of corneal spherical aberration was 0.266 ±0.010μm. Corneal spherical aberration was no significantly correlation with age, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism ( r =0.71, 0.56, 0.93, P>0.05 ). There was positive correlation between corneal spherical aberration and Q-value ( r=0.086, P=0.03).
· CONCLUSlON: Corneal spherical aberration varied greatly among age-related cataract patients.The choice of asphericity intraocular lens should be a matter of personal choice.

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.
