AIM: To evaluate the accuracy of central conreal thickness ( CCT ) using EX500 Excimer Laser workstation (EX500) in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) patients.METHODS:The CCT of 120 eyes (63 patients) who had LASIK between January 2013 and June 2013 were measured by A- scan and EX500. Three groups were classified: >550μm, 500 ~550μm, <500μm according the CCT value of A-scan. The CCT were measured again by corneal flap creating by moria SBK microkeratome. The thickness of the corneal bed stroma were measured by A-scan and EX500 after keratomileusis. All outcomes were analyzed with paired t test.
RESULTS: The average preoperative CCT value was 527. 9±34. 3μm measured by A-scan, 528. 5±34. 6μm measured by EX500. There was no significant difference between these two measurements (t=1. 736, P=0. 085). In group which CCT >550μm, the average preoperative CCT value was 571. 4±17. 3μm measured by A-scan, 572.7±15. 7μm measured by EX500. There was no significant difference between these two measurements (t=1. 857, P=0. 072). In group which CCT 500 ~ 550μm, the average preoperative CCT value was 523. 4±13. 1μm measured by A-scan, 524. 2±12. 4μm measured by EX500. There was no significant difference between these two measurements ( t=1. 934, P = 0. 058 ). In group which CCT <500μm, the average preoperative CCT value 484. 5±9.8μm measured by A-scan, 483. 7±8. 9μm measured by EX500. There was no significant difference between these two measurements (t=1. 395, P=0. 174). The average CCT value after corneal flap lifting was 401. 3 ± 34. 2μm measured by A-scan, 393. 4±38. 9μm measured by EX500. There was a significant difference between these two measurements ( t = 6. 669, P = 0. 000 ). The average thickness of the corneal bed stroma value after keratomileusis was 332. 6±38. 3μm measured by A-scan, 307. 3 ± 37. 1μm measured by EX500. There was a significant difference between these two measurements ( t=17. 165, P=0. 000).
CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference between preoperative CCT value measured by A-scan and EX500. After corneal flap lifting and keratomileusis, the CCT value measured by EX500 is smaller than measured by A-scan.

AIM: To evaluate the changes of corneal high - order aberration (including Coma, Spab, RMSh) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with femtosecond laser, sub- Bowman keratomileusis ( SBK ) and laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). METHODS: Of 82 myopic patients ( 164 eyes ), 31 patients (62 eyes) were treated by FS-LASIK, 31 patients (62 eyes) were treated by SBK, 20 patients (40 eyes) were treated by LASEK. Sirius system was used for measuring the coma aberration, spherical aberration, and high order aberration at 1, 15d,1, 3mo after surgery. RESULTS: 1) Vision: The uncorrected visual acuity of the three groups had no differences (P>0. 05). 2) Corneal aberrations: Three kinds of surgical procedure for patients with corneal aberration had significant impact. The C7, C8, C12 and RMSh of three groups were increased significantly (P<0. 05). The C7, C8, C12 and RMSh were not recovered to preoperative levels after 3mo. But the increase of patients after FS- LASIK was smaller than the other two groups, with statistical significance (P<0. 05). CONCLUSION: Compared with SBK and LASEK, FS - LASIK has better visual acuity in the early postoperative and corneal higher-order aberrations increase is relatively small.

Objective To observe the effects ofJingui Shenqi Pills on the expressions of TGF-β1, CYP19, sex hormone level and sperm quality;To discuss its mechanism for the treatment of male sterility.Methods Forty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, retardant group andJingui Shenqi Pills group, 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, adenine was used to induce healthy rats to kidney yang deficiency and sterility model rats. Normal group was given normal saline for gavage;retardant group was injected with testicular mesenchyme TGF-β1;Jingui Shenqi Pills group was givenJingui Shenqi Decoction for gavage. Blood was taken through caudal vein. Immunohistochemical, radioimmunoassay and electron microscopy observation were used to detect the expressions of TGF-β1, CYP19, sex hormone level, sperm density and motility rate and testicular morphological changes.Results Compared with normal group, the expression of TGF-β1 in the model group increased and CYP19 decreased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the expression of TGF-β1 decreased and the expression of CYP19 increased (P<0.05). Compared with normal group, the number of sperm quantity was small and paramorphia in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group, T, E2, sperm density and motility rate increased significantly inJingui Shenqi Pills group and retardant group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance among indexes in retardant group andJingui Shenqi Pills group.ConclusionJingui Shenqi Pills can improve sperm quality and sex hormone level of model rats with kidney-yang-deficiency, which mechanism is probably realized by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1R and promoting the expression of CYP19 in testis to effect development and proliferation of sperm.

Objective To study the outcomes of autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) with large subchondral cyst.Methods The data of 27 consecutive patients of OLT with subchondral cyst was retrospectively analyzed who were treated by autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation from October 2007 to September 2011.There were 26 males and 1 female with an average age of 35.8 years (range,22-53 years).Visual analogue score (VAS) for pain during daily activities,the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot score,and subjective satisfaction were investigated.The plain radiographs,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the ankle,and second look arthroscopy were analyzed.Results All the 26 patients were followed up for 22.4 months.At the last follow-up,the VAS score decreased from 5.4±1.0 points preoperatively to 0.8±0.8 points postoperatively,and the mean (50％) AOFAS score improved from 73.9±3.1 points preoperatively to 93.0±6.5 points postoperatively.In 26 cases,the radiolucent area of cysts disappeared on plain radiographs.The mean magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score was 57.2,though small subchondral bone cyst was still found in 3 cases on postoperative MRI.The mean (50％) ICRS arthroscopic score of cartilage repair was 9.2 points according to second look arthroscopy of 18 cases.There were 16 cases receiving excellent effect,8 good and 2 fair.The excellent and good rate was 92.3％ (24/26).There were no major complications.Conclusion Autologous osteo-periosteal cylinder graft transplantation could repair the osteochondral defects.It yields satisfactory results,and is suitable for treating OLT with large subchondral cyst.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydrogen on endoplasmic reticulum stress during hypoxiareoxygeuation(H/R)in PC12 cells.Methods PC12 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group(group NC),positive control group(group PC),H/R group and hydrogen group(group H).In group NC.the cells were cuhnred routinely for 25 h.In group PC,the cells were cultured routinely for 1 h and then in RPM1-1640 culture medium saturated with hydrogen for 24 h.In H/R group,the cells were exposed to 1 h of hypoxia followed by 24 h of reoxygenation.In group H,the cells were exposed to 1 h of hypoxia and then reoxygenated in RPMI-1640 culture medium saturated with hydrogen for 24 h.Hypoxia-reperfusion was produced by 1 h exposure of cells to 5％ CO2 in an incubator at 37 ℃ in RPMI-1640 culture medium containing Na2S2O4 with the final concentration of 5.0 mmoI/L,followed by 24 h reoxygenation in the normal RPMI-1640 culture medium.The relative rate of cell proliferation was detected by WST-1,The concentration of MDA was determined by thiobarbituric acid method.The expression of caspase-3 was determined by immuno-histochemistry.The expression of activating transcription factor-4(ATF4)mRNA and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)mRNA was determined by RTPCR.Results Compared with groups NC and PC,the relative rate of cell proliferation was significantly decreased,MDA concentration was significantly increased,and the expression of caspase-3,ATF4 mRNA and CHOP mRNA was up-regulated in group H/R,and the expression of ATF4 mRNA and CHOP mRNA was up-regulated in group H(P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the relative rate of cell proliferation,MDA concentration,and the expression of caspase-3,ATF4 mRNA and CHOP mRNA between groups NC and PC(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group H/R,the relative rate of cell proliferation was significantly increased,MDA concentration was significantly decreased,and the expression of caspase-3,ATF4 mRNA and CHOP mRNA was down-regulated in group H(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hydrogen can decrease cell apoptosis and attenuate H/R injury to PC12 cells through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Objective To investigate the role of chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) in the spinal cord expression in a rat model of tibia bone cancer pain.Methods Eighty-four female SD rats weighing 160-180 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =28):control group (group C),sham operation group (group S) and tibia bone cancer pain group (group P).Tibia bone cancer pain was induced by intra-tibial inoculation of Walker-256 breast cancer cells.Paw withdral threshold to mechanical stimulation (MWT) was measured with von Frey filaments at 1 d before and at 1,3,7,10,14 and 21 d after inoculation.Six rats in each group were sacrificed after the measurement of MWT at 1 d before inoculation and at 7,14 and 21 d after inoculation.Lumbar 4-6 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of the expression of CCL2 by ELISA.The coexpression of CCL2 with Iba-1 (a specific marker of microglia),GFAP(a specific marker of astrocyte) and NeuN (a specific marker of neuron) was determined by double immunofluorescence assay after the measurement of MWT at 14 d after inoculation in group P.Results Compared with groups C and S,MWT was significantly decreased from 7 d to 21 d after inoculation,the expressive of CCI-2 in the spinal cord up-regulated at 7,14 and 21 d after inoculation in group P ( P ＜ 0.05).CCL2 was expressed in the microglia and astrocyte but not in neuron in the spinal cord dorsal horn in a rat model of tibia bone cancer pain.Conclusion Release of CCL2 from microglia and astrocytes in the spinal cord was involved in mechanical hyperalgesia in a rat model of tibia bone cancer pain.

Objective To investigate the role of CCL2 in pain facilitation and spinal mechanisms in the rat model of bone cancer pain.Methods The bone cancer pain model was developed by inoculating.Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the rat tibia medullary cavity.SD female rats were divided into 5 groups randomly ( n =8):sham group( group Ⅰ),sham + CCL2 antibody group( group Ⅱ),BCP group( group Ⅲ),BCP +control lgG group ( group Ⅳ),BCP + CCL2 antibody group ( group Ⅴ ).VonFrey threshold was measured one day before operation and 1 st,3 rd,5th,7th,10th,14th,21 st after operation.CCL2 antibody or control lgG was injected intrathecally from 10th to 12th day.The expression of the spinal Iba-1 ( microglial marker) in rat lumbar4-5 was detected by immunohistochemistry assay.Results From the 10th to 21st day after operation,the PMWT of group Ⅲ rats were ( 1.78 ±0.38)g,( 1.70 ±0.17)g,( 1.35 ±0.07 )g;group Ⅳ rats were (2.99 ±0.67)g,(2.52 ±0.75)g,(1.13±0.07)g ; and group Ⅴ rats were (5.88±0.66)g,(7.81 ±0.75)g,(6.19±0.53)g.Compared with group Ⅲ,the PMWT of group Ⅴ was remarkly higher (P＜0.01) ; group Ⅳ had no obvious statistical significance (P＞0.05).At the 14th day after operation,the MOD of group Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ rats were (151.3 ±10.8 ),( 149.2 ± 10.6),(74.5 ± 5.0),Compared with group Ⅲ,the MOD of group Ⅴ was significantly increased (P＜0.01 ),group Ⅳ had no obvious statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Intrathecal injection of CCL2 antibody can remarkly attenuate established pain facilitation of tibial bone cancer pain rats,and significantly suppress the expression of Iba-1.It suggests that CCL2 is involved in the bone cancer pain via activation of spinal microglia.

Objective To analyze the CT findings of melamine induced urinary calculi.Methods Nineteen children with a history of ingestion of melamine contaminated infant formula milk were studied, including 12 males and 7 females, age ranged from 50 days to 5 years.Results CT demonstrated renal pelvic and ureteral stones in 13 cases, with urinary obstruction in 9 of them.The size of the stones ranged from 0.3 cm × 0.3 cm to stag-horn calculus.The density of the stones measured from a low of 40-70 HU up to a high of 410 HU with an average density of 160 HU.Conclusion CT scan is an excellent modality in demonstrating urinary tract calculi caused by melamine. It is the method of choice when ultrasound examinations are equivocal.

Objective To discuss the clinical outcome of the modified super large dorsal metacarpal artery flap in reconstruction of circumferential fingertip avulsion. Methods Twenty-four patients with circumferential fingertip avulsion were treated by the modified super large dorsal metacarpal artery flap from January 2004 to August 2008. There were six index fingers, 11 middle fingers, five ring fingers and two little fingers with surface defects beyond the distal interphalangeal joint and the distal degloving length ranged from 0.8 cm to 3.1 cm. Emergency operation was performed on 22 fingers and stage Ⅱ surgery was done for distal skin necrosis of two fingers. Results Twenty-one patients with 21 fingers were followed up for 6-28 months, which showed that all flaps survived, with satisfactory appearance and function, and that the point discrimination of flap was for 6-9 mm ( average 7.6 mm). Conclusion Modified super large dorsal metacarpal artery flap is an ideal method for reconstruction of the circumferential fingertip avulsion with advantages of easiness, convenience and short treatment period.
