Objective To assess the effects of femtosecond laser-assisted anterior capsulotomy versus manual continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis on intraocular lens (IOL) centration by measuring and comparing shape,size and positional parameters.Methods Eighty cases (80 eyes) with age-related cataract from March 2015 to July 2016 in our hospital were collected.Forty patients (40 eyes) in the femtosecond group underwent femtosecond laser anterior capsulotomy and 40 patients (40 eyes) in the annular group were treated with annular continuous capsulorhexis.At postoperative 1 week,1 month,1 year,the slit lamp digital photography and Pentacam anterior segment analyzer were used to collect the anterior segment images,and the parameters include horizontal and vertical diameter,roundness,package and partial centre of IOL were analyzed by image analysis software image-pro-plus 6.0.Using repeated measurement of variance analysis,Fisher exact probability,and Generalized estimation equations (GEE),the differences between parameters of the groups and IOL decentration predictor were analyzed.Results The vertical diameter,roundness,maximum distance,minimum distance,package and horizontal deviation were statistically significant between the femtosecond group and the annular group at 1 week and 1 month after operation (all P < 0.05),and there was no significant difference in horizontal diameter and vertical deviation between two groups (all P > 0.05).At 1 year after operation,the maximum distance,minimum distance,package and horizontal deviation between two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in vertical and horizontal diameter,roundness,and vertical deviation between two groups (all P > 0.05).There was no patient with horizontal shift > 0.4 mm in the femtosecond group at 1 week,1 month and 1 year;The ratio of cases with horizontal shift >0.4 mm and <0.4 mm in the annular group at 1 week,1 month and 1 year were 2/38,4/36,8/32,respectively.There was significant difference in the horizontal shift > 0.4 nun between the two groups after 1 year(P < 0.05).In the univariate generalized estimating equation model,the capsulorhexis type was a significant predictor of horizontal shift.Of all the capsulorhexis parameters,the difference of inclusion degree was statistically significant (P =0.001).There was negative correlation between the horizontal shift and package at different time points in the femtosecond group at 1 week,1 month and 1 year (r =-0.89,P < 0.05;r =-0.72,P < 0.05;r =-0.58,P < 0.05);There was negative correlation between the horizontal shift and package at different time points in the annular group at 1 week(r =-0.68,P < 0.05),but no correlation at 1 month and 1 year (r=-0.41,P>0.05;r=-0.33,P>0.05).Conclusion The anterior capsule made by femtosecond laser anterior capsulotomy is more round,centered and accurate,pocket IOL position is more stabled and neutral.
2. Progress of relapsed and refractory follicular lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2018;27(4):209-211
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a kind of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma deriving from follicle germinal center. Relapsed and refractory FL usually requires multiline treatments. With the great advance of novel drugs and a large number of clinical trials, the treatment model of FL has been changing continually. High dose therapy combined with hematopoietic stem cell transplant could provide preferable remissions for FL patients. Meanwhile, as more and more clinical trials have made great progress, novel drugs including inhibitors of PI3K, programmed death-1 (PD-1) or lenalidomide and antibody radionuclide conjugate have brought an increasing options for FL treatment.

Objective:
To reveal clinical features, pathological diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary thymic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and review literatures.
Methods:
The clinical characteristics, pathological diagnosis, laboratory texts, treatment and prognosis of 7 cases of primary thymic MALT lymphoma identified at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from November 2017 to January 2019 were collected and analyzed.
Results:
Of 7 primary thymic MALT lymphoma cases, six were female. Patients were often asymptomatic and were found mediastinal mass by chest CT. After mediastinal mass resection, pathologist reported a primary thymic MALT lymphoma. Laboratory tests showed all patients were positive for anti-nuclear antibody, anti-Ro52 antibodies and anti-Sjogren’s syndrome A antibodies, and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) . Four were diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) . After surgery, the patients were given the positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) scans. All cases received "watch and wait" approach. Up to now, all cases showed good prognoses and none of them relapsed.
Conclusion
Primary thymic MALT lymphoma was rare, and it was often associated with autoimmune diseases. Such patients who usually had good prognoses should be followed up closely and avoided excessive treatments if there were no indications of intervention.
