Objective To study the relationship between serum salusin-α and lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) in carotid unstable plaque with cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred patients with carotid unstable plaque confirmed by carotid ultrasound, divided into two groups as follows:cerebral infarction group (CI group, n = 50) or without cerebral infarction (plaque group, n = 50). We took 50 health subjects in the same period as control. The levels of serum salusin-α, Lp-PLA2 were detected by ELISA. Results Serum salusin-αlevel was significantly lower in the CI group than in the control group (P<0.01), and was also significantly lower in the CI group than in the plaque group (P < 0.01); Serum Lp-PLA2 level was obviously higher in CI group than in control group (P<0.05), and was also significantly higher in CI group than in plaque group (P < 0.05); The correlation between serum salusin-α level(OR = 0.140, 95% CI: 0.054-0.368, P<0.01) and cerebral infarction was significant in patients with unstable plaque. Conclusions The decrease of serum salusin-α level is significantly in patients with unstable plaque; the increase of Lp-PLA2 is significantly in patients with unstable plaque. The serum salusin-αlevel is a possible risk factor for cerebral infarction.

Background Peripheral refraction of retina brings about influence on myopia development,and different corrective methods will play different roles on the peripheral refraction.Objective This study was to measure the peripheral refraction with progressive addition lenses (PALs) and single-vision spectacle lenses (SVLs) corrected in adolescent myopic eyes and to investigate the difference between them.Methods This was a selfcontrolled cross-sectional study.Forty corrected myopic eyes with PALs were recruited for the study.Twenty-three male and seventeen female subjects aged 10-15 years (mean 12.54 years±1.45 years) enrolled in this study.The refractive errors of the subjects ranged form-1.50 D to-6.00 D (mean-3.74 D±1.09 D) and the astigmatism was less than-1.50 D with the corrected visual acuity at least 20/25.1% Tropicamide eye drops was topically administered for the cycloplegia and then Grand Seiko WAM-5500 Auto-refractor was used to measure the peripheral refraction.The measured points were determined follows as:fovea (0°),peripheral temporal (T30°,T20°,T10°) and nasal (N30°,N20°,N10°) visual fields from the right eyes.The mean of the six measuring points for each position was calculated.Peripheral refraction was measured from each subject under the wearing of PALs or SVLs (randomly in succession),and the statistic analyse perimeters included M value,relative peripheral refractive error (RPRE),J45,J180.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before examination.Results The corrected visual acuity was 4.98 ± 0.65 and 4.97 ± 0.53 under the PALs and SVLs conditions respectively,showing in significant difference between them (t =0.222,P =0.639).Hypermetropic shift in peripheral M value and RPRE value were found with the increase of visual angle field,in contrast,the peripheral J180 showed a myopic shift,and significant difference was found among the six peripheral points with all of the above three perimeters (P<0.05).Negative J45 values in the temporal visual filed and positive J45 values in the nasal filed showed less shift.Some peripheral angles of the peripheral refractions in M value,RPRE value,J180,J45 showed significantly difference from the fovea refraction(P<0.05).Compared with SVLs correction,PALs induced relatively myopic shifts in M value and RPRE value in all of the peripheral angle fields,showing significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusions PALs causes relatively myopic shift at the peripheral retina in adolescent myopic eyes in comparison with SVLs,and the important parameters are M value and RPRE value.The effect of PALs on controlling the onset and progression of myopia may be interpreted by peripheral refraction.
