AIM:To explore the changes of intraocular pressure measured by noncontact tonometer (IOPNCT) with high myopia and analyze the relative fators after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).METHODS:A retrospective study.Totally 108 cases (216 eyes) with high myopia received SMILE during March 2015 to October 2016 were involved.The IOPNCT, corneal central thickness (CCT) and corneal curvature for 3mo were recorded and analyzed by ANOVA, LSD t test.The Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression model analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between IOPNCT and its influence factors.RESULTS:(1) There was significant statistical difference in IOPNCT after SMILE at 1d, 1wk, 1 and 3mo compare with preoperative (t=17.785, P=0.019;t=17.981, P=0.016;t=18.841, P=0.012;t=19.364, P=0.001);the IOPNCT after SMILE decreased.The IOPNCT values at every time after SMILE was no statistical difference (t=1.871, P=0.818;t=3.062, P=0.328;t=1.143, P=0.373).(2) The IOPNCT in high myopia were positive correlated with CCT and corneal curvature after SMILE (r=0.4356, 0.295;P<0.05), respectively.(3) The multiple linear regression model analysis revealed that Y=-14.601+0.348X1+0.03X2 (Y was IOPNCT, X1 was corneal curvature, X2 was CCT,P<0.001);Y=3.679+0.28X1+0.012X2 (Y was△IOPNCT,X1 was variation of corneal curvature,X2 was△CCT, P<0.001).CONCLUSION:The IOPNCT decreased after SMILE in high myipia, and it showed that there was no significant influence to use glucocorticoid eye drops in short terms.There was positive correlation among IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature after SMILE.

?The small incision lenticule extraction ( SMILE ) with femtosecond laser is a new mode of corneal refractive surgeryrecently. The safety, efficacy, stability and predictability of SMILE lead the corneal refractive surgery to a new world that only use femtosecond laser to correct myopia.With the development and popularity of SMILE, the clinical effect has aroused much concern.But there remain exited disputes in refractive stability, visual quality and corneal biomechanical property, contrast sensitivity and glare symptoms, corneal sensitivity and dye eye, corneal endothelial cells and intraocular pressure.These will be summarized in this review.

AIM:To analyze the recovery of visual cortex activation range of color vision in anisometropia amblyopia children after treatment by using blood oxygen level dependence-functional magnetic resonance imaging ( BOLD- fMRI ) and SPM8 software.
METHODS:Self-control study. This fMRI study directly compared activity in visual cortex produced by color monocular stimulation in 13 monocular anisometropia amblyopia children. The project of study was blocked design. The data of functions and anatomical MRI was stimulated by three-primary colors and was preprocessed and analyzed by SPM8 that based on MATLAB software. According to the data, we compared the change of the central area of color vision when first visit and 1, 2 ,4wk after treatment.
RESULTS: The BA17, BA18, BA19 and BA37 of amblyopia children were different activated after they accepted the three-primary colors stimulation (P<0. 01). After 4wk treatment, amblyopia children accepted red stimulation, the visual cortex activation range without expanding; after accepting green stimulus, on the left side of the visual cortex BA37, BA19, BA20, the average t value were 3. 5210, 3. 2716, 3. 1534 ( P< 0. 01 ); after accepting blue stimulation, the scope of the right side of visual cortex at BA19, BA18 were expanded to different extent, the average t value were 3. 7345, 3. 2701 (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION: After 4wk treatment, visual cortex activation of color vision of anisometropia amblyopic children is expanded, but with low extent, after the short-term treatment of amblyopia, visual cortex activation of color vision has a certain degree of recovery but not obvious.

The paper is aimed to provide a novel index, named as multidimensional spatial triangular area, for the evaluation of the release-absorption correlation of multiple component traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). The applicability of the method was demonstrated by the example data. The method and standard practice for evaluation of the release-absorption correlation for western medicines with single compound could not be applied to TCMs with multiple components. The release percentage or absorption percentage of the multiple components for TCMs at the sampling time was a point in the multidimensional space. The area of the triangle formed byt the sequential three points rrepresented the changing characteristics of the components' release and absorption kinetics. The side lengths of the triangle could be calculated from the spatial distances between each two of the sequential three points. Then the triangle area could be obtained by the side lengths. The in vitro release-in vivo absorption correlation of the multiple components could be represented by the correlation between the integrating values of the release triangle areas and that of the absorption triangle areas. The results of the examples indicated that the multidimensional spatial triangular area method could treat the multiple components in a holistic way, in line with the holism the hi he TCMs. Therefore, the multidimensional spatial triangular area method provided new methodology for the release-absorption correlation of the TCMs with multiple components.
