AlM:To investigate the effect of peripheral vision control technology for delaying the development of juvenile myopia.METHODS:A total of ninty-nine cases of 12 ~18 year-old myopic patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group was peripheral vision control technology group whose members wore the special lenses which can help correct the hypermetropic defocus of peripheral retina. The other was control group whose members wore ordinary monofocal lenses. All the subjects needed to accept re-examination every 3mo and be recorded the data of dioptre, corneal curvature and axial length.RESULTS: After 18mo, the dioptre and axial length of two groups had increased in varying degree. But the data's different quantity of the corneal curvature in each group had no statistical significance ( P > 0. 05 ). Themyopia deepen quantity in experimental group was-0. 65±0. 65D and its axial growth was 0. 23±0. 22mm, and the myopia deepen quantity in control group was -1. 17 ± 0. 50D and its axial growth was 0. 41 ± 0. 17mm. Under the circumstance of valid data, the increment of myopia and axial length in experimental group was lower than that in control group (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Peripheral vision control technology can delay the development of juvenile myopia effectively.

Insulin resistance and insulin secretion deficiency are main machanisms in inducing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and mitochondria damage plays an important role in them. Research shows that autophagy is a self-protective mechanism of cells, which plays an important role in maintaining the normal structure and function of pancreatic β cells and improving insulin resistance. Previous studies show that traditional Chinese medicine can regulate cell autophagy to influence β cells and insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. Thus this review will talk about the process of the relationship between autophagy and T2DM and the intervention effect of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To establish the fingerprint chromatogram of Tongguanteng Injection (caulis Marsdeniae Tenacissimae). Methods: HPLC with ZORBAX SB C 18 column was used, the (a) 0.05% H 3PO 4 H 2O and (b) ACN 0.05% H 3PO 4 H 2O (13∶87) (gradient elution) as a mobile phase and detection wavelength at 254nm. Results: 22 peaks were indicated on the HPLC fingerprint of Tongguanteng Injection. The relative retention time and relative peak area were obtained with itself peak at retention time 48.5 min. Conclusion: The method is simple and accurate with a good reproducibility and can be used as a quality control method for Tongguantent Injection.

AIM:To investigate how to design personalized cataract surgery programs to achieve surgical correction of preoperative corneal astigmatism with surgical astigmatism under the guidance of corneal topography, improve postoperative visual quality and reduce the cost of treatment.
METHODS: Totally 202 cases ( 226 eyes ) cataract patients were divided into randomized treatment group and individualized treatment group. According to the method and location of the incision, randomized treatment group were divided into 8 groups. Surgical astigmatism after different incision were calculated with the use of preoperative and postoperative corneal astigmatism through vector analysis method. Individualized treatment groups were designed personably for surgical method with reference of every surgically induced astigmatism, the surgical method chooses the type of surgical incision based on close link between preoperative corneal astigmatism and surgically induced astigmatism, and the incision was located in the steep meridian. The postoperative corneal astigmatism of individualized treatment group was observed.
RESULTS: Postoperative corneal astigmatism of individualized treatment group were lower than that of 3.0mm clear corneal tunnel incision in the randomized treatment group, there were statistically significance difference, while with 3. 0mm sclera tunnel incision group there were no statistically significance difference. After 55. 8% of patients with the use of individualized surgical plan could undergo the operation of extracapsular cataract extraction with relatively low cost and rigid intraocular lens implantation, the per capita cost of treatment could be reduced.
CONCLUSION: Personalized cataract surgery programs are designed to achieve surgical correction of preoperative corneal astigmatism under the use of corneal topography, improve postoperative visual quality and reduce the cost of treatment.

Objective To explore the pathogenic bacteria′s distribution and their drug resistance of urinary tract infection in children.Methods A total of 555 pathogen strains in urinary tract infection for children from inpatients and outpatients from Jan.2005 to Dec 2006 were identified and the drug resistance test was preformed.Results In the 555 strains of bacteria,80.7% were Gram-negative,17.7%were Gram-positive and 1.6%were fungi.Most of Gram-negative bacteria were E.coli,among 300 strains of identified Escherichia,69.3% of them(208 strains) produced extended speetrum ? lactamases(ESBLs);among 41 strains of identified Klebsiella pneumoniae,78.1% of them(32 strains) produced ESBLs.Most of Gram-positive bacteria were Enterococcus,there were 70 strains(12.6%),sensitivity rates of nitrofurantion and vancomycin were 100%.Conclusion Gram-negative is the main infection bacterium in urinary tract infection for children and the most of them are very serious drug resistant.The clinicians should pay more attentions to idstream urin bacteriology culture and choose the suitable antibiotic according to the results of antibiotic susceptibility tests.

Objective To explore the influence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on the differentiation of nerve stem cells (NSCs) from neonatal rat hippocampus in vitro and to find new revulsant of NSCs,which can improve the percentage of NSCs differentiating into neurons.Methods Twenty-four hours neonatal rats were selected to obtain hippocampus tissue to culture NSCs in serum-free culture medium by suspending culture.The high pure NSCs were obtained after passing 2 generations.The culture cells were identified as NSCs by staining of nestin,which was NSCs special marker.After passaged three generations,the NSCs were randomly classified into 2 groups:test group and control group.There were 15 pieces per group.There was 2 mL per piece,which contains 1?105 cells.50 g/L fetal bovine serum(FBS) and 20 ?g/L BDNF were added into foundational culture medium in test group;only 50 g/L FBS was added into foundational culture medium in control group.The neurons and their percentage were tested using the immunofluorescence labeling and flow cytometer after 7 days of differentiated cultivation.Results The hippocampus tissue cells grew in globular in serum-free culture medium by suspending culture,which expressed highly positive by nestin immunofluorescence staining.Its purity was above 90%.The percentage of neurone specific enolase(NSE)-positive cells in test group was 60.45%,which was obviously higher than that of control group (23.67%).The difference was significant between 2 groups(?2=27.75 P
