Background Myopia is one of the main blinding diseases worldwide.At present,a lot of studies on ocular structure focus on the changes of corneal curvature(CC),central corneal thickness (CCT),anterior chamber depth (ACD),ocular axial length (AL) and choroid and retina,but the research of anterior chamber angle section structure form and ciliary body shape is lack.Objective This study was to measure and analyze the changes of the anterior chamber angle and related tissue structure in myopic eyes.Methods One hundred and forty-nine eyes of 149 subjects were included from May 2008 to May 2010 in Eighth Hospital of Qingdao City with the ages of 18-40years old under the informed consent.The subjects were assigned to the emmetropia group (30 eyes) ([0.02±0.18] D),low myopia group(46 eyes) ([-1.64±0.69] D),moderate myopia group (35 eyes) ([-4.56±0.66] D) and high myopia group (38 eyes) ([-7.04 ± 1.02] D).Conventional indexes including intraocular pressure (IOP),CCT,CC,AL and ACD were measured,and the indexes including chamber angel open distance (AOD),iris thickness (IT1,IT2,IT3),the position of ciliary body such as A-angel,B-angel,trabecular ciliary process distance (TCPD),irisciliary process distance (ICPD) and ciliary body thickness (CBT1,CBT2,CBT3) were measured by ultrasound biomicroscope(UBM).Results The IOP,CC and CCT values showed slight change in different groups without remarkable difference among them (all at P>0.05).As the increase of myopic degree,AL was extended and ACD was deepened,showing significant differences among the groups (both at P<0.05).There were no significant differences in IT1,IT2 and IT3 among the four groups (all at P>0.05).However,the measuring values of angle opening degree (TIA and AOD500),ciliary position (A-angle,B-angle,TCPD,ICPD) and CBT (CBT1,CBT2,CBT3) elevated with the increase of myopic degree (all at P<0.05).Positive correlations were found between AOD500 and ACD,A-angle,CBT1,CBT2,AL,negative correlations was found between AOD500 and myopic degree (r =0.573,0.513,0.325,0.398,0.542,-0.435,all at P<0.01);Positive correlations were found between TIA and ACD,A-angle,CBT1,CBT2,AL,negative correlations was found between AOD500 and myopic degree (r =0.573,0.464,0.276,0.410,0.539,-0.435,all at P < 0.01).Conclusions Within certain limits,as the increase of myopic degree,ACD deepens,the anterior chamber angle widens,ciliary process thickens and ciliary body backward shifts.

The long-term presence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the environmental water samples not only affects the life safety of aquatic organisms and disturbs the ecoenvironment, but also poses a serious threat to human health. In this study, amino-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NH2) were firstly prepared by solvothermal method. Subsequently, polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a branched chain structure was successfully grafted onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles by Schiff base reaction in aqueous solution at room temperature using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent, and a recyclable PEI-grafted magnetic nano-sorbent (Fe3O4@PEI) was synthesized and applied for the detection of NSAIDs in the environmental water samples. The compositional properties of Fe3O4@PEI were investigated by different characterization methods and the parameters affecting the extraction of NSAIDs were optimized. Due to high adsorption of Fe3O4@PEI for NSAIDs, the quantitative analysis of four NSAIDs in the environmental water samples, ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and tolfenamic acid, was performed in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography. A good linear relationship between the chromatographic peak area and concentration was observed in the range of 1−500 µg/mL. The recoveries of the samples at three different spiked levels ranged from 85.6% to 107.8%; the intra-day precision was less than 7.8% (n=6); and the inter-day precision was less than 9.5% (n=3). The method is simple, rapid, accurate and reliable, and can be used for the analysis of NSAIDs in the environmental water samples.

Objective To establish a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of sodium valproate and vancomycin in human serum. Methods Valproic acid-d6 and kanamycin B were used as the internal standard of sodium valproate and vancomycin, the serum samples were treated by acetonitrile precipitation protein method. The mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile for gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.5 ml/min, with column temperature at 25 ℃. The sample volume was 4 μl and total analysis time was 12 min. The positive and negative ion mode was monitored by electrospray ion source and the multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantitative analysis. The specificity, standard curve, lower limit of quantification, precision, recovery, matrix effect, and stability of the method were examined. Results Sodium valproate and vancomycin had good linear relationships in the range of 1 - 200 μg/ml and 0.5 - 100 μg/ml, respectively. The quantitative lower limits were 1 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml, respectively. The extraction recoveries were above 70%. The inter- and intra-batch precision RSD values were less than 10%. The stability was good and there was no obvious matrix effect. Conclusion This method is simple, quick, sensitive, specific and accurate, which could be used to simultaneously determine the concentration of sodium valproate and vancomycin in human serum.
