AlM: To explore the clinical application effect of phacofragmentation combined with vitrectomy in the treatment of traumatic lens dislocation.
METHODS:Totally 16 cases (16 eyes) of traumatic lens dislocation treated with phacofragmentation combined with vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed, including 6 cases of high intraocular pressure ( lOP) and 10 cases of vitreous hemorrhage, and 1 case of retinal detachment. All patients were given conventional flat line standard three channel vitreous operation incision to remove the anterior, middle part and peripheral vitreous around lens dislocation. The crystalline lens were drawn to the center cavity of vitreous body and treated by ultrasonic disintegrator. ln the operation, the retina was examined and 8 of them had no retinal damage and in the first stage underwent fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses.
RESULTS: All crystalline lens dislocated were completely grinded and suctioned. There was no retinal detachment occurred in 3mo followed up. 16 eyes had normal lOP (12-20mmHg) at 1wk after operation. The average visual acuity was improved and with 8 cases got improved of 0. 2 or more 1wk after operation.
CONCLUSlON: Our research shows that phacofragmentation combined with vitrectomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of traumatic lens dislocation. The patients with nondestructive retina in the operation are feasible to do first stage operation of intraocular lens suture fixation, which contributes to the best visual acuity.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum inflammatory mediators in septic rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(10 rats)and sepsis group (20 rats). The model of sepsis was made by cecal ligation and puncture. Carotid artery blood samples were taken from the sham operation group,and from sepsis group at 0,24,48,72 h after model establishment. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to detect the content of serum tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF α), interleukin 1(IL-1),interleukin element 6(IL-6). Results Serum TNF-α content in the sham operation group was(9. 27 ± 3. 12)ng/ L,and(9. 26 ± 8. 01),(32. 01 ± 4. 52),(55. 22 ± 7. 61),(83. 31 ± 8. 57)ng/ L respectively at 0,24,48,72 h after model establishment in sepsis group. There were significant difference between sham operation group and sepsis group at different time points(P < 0. 01). Serum IL-1in sham operation group was(8. 93 ± 1. 26)ng/ L,lower than that in sepsis group model at 0,24,48,72 h after model establishment ((20. 01 ± 3. 51),(25. 51 ± 2. 79),(59. 67 ± 3. 26),(87. 86 ± 11. 51)ng/ L respectively),and the differences were significant(P < 0. 01). The serum IL-6 level in sepsis group at 0,24,48,72 h after model establishment were(11. 52 ± 2. 32),(31. 59 ± 12. 12),(57. 27 ± 13. 53),(71. 59 ± 12. 67)ng/ L,respectively,different from that of sham operation group((12. 36 ± 3. 25)ng/ L,(P < 0. 01)). Conclusion The serum transmitter levels in septic rats significantly increase,which suggest that a lot of inflammatory mediators are released,and it may be one of the factors for the occurrence of sepsis.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
In top-quality course construction of medical ethics,it is necessary to attach importance to practical operation as well as the consistency of theoretical logic.To well adapt to the current medical practice and medical technical advances,the idea of medical ethics should include virtue,harmony and value.Virtue is the prominent concept in top-quality course construction of medical ethics.Harmony is the core idea of medical ethics,and value is the innovative idea to solve the questions caused by life technologies.Therefore,in the top-quality course construction of medical ethics,coordination and unification of the above three ideas must be maintained in order to defend the demonstration significance of top-quality course of medical ethics.
