No significant differences between the two groups of corneal endothelial cell counting, central corneal thickness at 1wk, 1, 3mo after operation were observed(P>0. 05). Operation source astigmatism had statistically significant difference at 1d, 1wk, 1, 3mo after operation ( P< 0. 05 ), it decreased significantly in the 2.2mm incision group.
CONCLUSION: The 2. 2mm small incision coaxial phacoemulsification with postoperative visual acuity improved more significantly, can significantly reduce the operation astigmatism.

Objective To investigate the status of food intolerance of patients with ulcerative colitis,(UC),to provide the basis for directing UC patients diet related nursing.Methods Forty-seven UC patients were selected from September 2013 to August 2014 in General Hospital of Tianjin University.The Southerland Disease Activity Index (DAI) was used to divide the UC patients into remission,mild activity and moderate to severe activity groups.The food-specific IgG antibodies status were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in UC patients and healthy people.Relevant clinical parameters were analyzed statistically.Results Food intolerance rate in UC patients was as high as 68.08％(32/47);the food species:egg,wheat and milk ranked the most frequently intolerance food.The food intolerance rates in remission,mild activity and moderate to severe activity groups were 9/16,11/18,12/13,there were significantly different,x2=7.418,P＜0.05.Extraintestinal manifestation group had significantly higher food intolerance rate compareed to non extraintestinal manifestation group:1 1/13 vs.55.88％(19/34),x2=2.234,P＜0.05.No significant difference of food intolerance rate were showed among groups categorized according to sex,age,body mass index,site of lesion,P＞0.05.Conclusions UC patients show higher food intolerance rate than healthy people.UC disease activity and extraintestinal manifestations are correlated to food intolerance,which is of great significance to guide diet related nursing of UC patient.

Objective To investigate the CT features of pulmonary sarcoidosis.Methods Ninety patients with histologically proved pulmonary sarcoidosis were retrospectively studied by using CT scans and clinical recording.Results The main CT findings of pulmonary sarcoidosis were nodules which were seen in 69 cases(76.7%),and the nodules mostly distributed around the bronchovascular bundle(n=37, 41.1%).Other abnormalities included consolidation(n=31,34.4%),ground-grass(n=39,43.3 %), thickening of bronchovascular bundle(n=30,33.3%),interlobular septal lines(n=58,64.4%), fibrosis(n=17,18.9%)including bronchial distortion(n=8,8.9%),linear shadow(n=5,5.6%), and honeycombing shadow(n=4,4.4%),air-trapping(n=3,5.3%),bronchial straitness(n=8, 8.9%),pleural thickening(n=42,46.7%),and hilar and mediastinal adenopathy(n=76,84.4%). Two or more abnormal findings co-existed in 83 cases.The pulmonary lesions co-existed with hilar and mediastinal adenopathy in 76 cases.The nodules(n=25),consolidation(n=9),ground-grass(n=11), thickening of bronehovascular bundle(n=10)were improved after therapy.Ten cases of the interlobular septal(10/22),0 of bronchial distortion(0/4),1 case of diffuse linear(1/3),and 0 case of honeycombing(0/2)were improved.Conclusion CT manifestations of pulmonary sarcoidosis are varied, but has some specific radiographic features.A correct diagnosis can be made.combined with hilar and mediastinal adenopathy.

Objective To report the experiences in the endovascular embolization treatment of intracranial aneurysm. Methods A total of 29 patients with intracranial aneurism were treated with Gugliemi detachable coils(GDC). Results Complete occlusion was found in 15 cases, 90% occlusion in 12 and 80% in 2. Three patients had different degrees of headache. The coil escaping from the sac of the aneurysm and suspending in the parent artery of the aneurysm was seen in 1 patient. Two patients died: one was due to disruption of aneurysm and another severe bleeding in digestive tube. Conclusion Endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysm is a minimally traumatic, safe and effective method for the treatment of intracranial aneurysm. GDC system is of easy operation, high safety and low incidence of complications.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate and the related risk factors of posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) in the rescue paratroopers 1.5 year after Wenchuan earthquake. Methods A total of 183 rescue paratroopers who participated in disaster rescue after Wenchuan earthquake were investigated with the questionnaires composed by General state of health questionnaire, PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version ( PCL-C), Symptom Checklist-90 ( SCL-90), Self-Rating Depression Scale ( SDS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Results Six rescue paratroopers had total PCL-C score ≥ 38 points, with the prevalence rate of PTSD for 3.28%. Total PCL-C score was positively correlated with total SCL-90 score, N score of EPQ and total SDS score (P ＜ 0. 01), but negatively correlated with E score of EPQ. Total PCL-C score showed statistical difference between injury group and uninjury group, family loss group and family integrity group, contacting corpses group and none contacting corpses group (P＜0.05 or ＜0.01). Regression analysis showed the length of military service, nervousness, family loss by earthquake, suffering injuries or contacting corpses during relief operations were the risk factors for PTSD. Conclusion The prevalence rate of PTSD in the rescue paratroopers is higher than that in normal troops (0.49% ) 1.5 year after Wenchuan earthquake, indicating that further attention should be paid to the rescue paratroopers in later period after earthquake.

OBJECTIVETo observe the protective effect of Jinhuang-1 (JH-1) on oleic acid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in rats and provide a basis to clinical application.

METHODOleic acid was injected into the tail vein of rats and JH-1 were administered to rats. After four days, their blood were collected for the blood gas analysis. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), the malondialdehyde (MDA), nitic oxide (NO) content and the positive expression ratio of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were determined. The pathological changes of microstructure of lung were observed.

RESULTThe results demonstrated that JH-1 could significantly increase PO2, reduce PCO2 of oleic acid-induced ARDS rats, increase the superoxide dismutase, decrease the malondialdehyde, nitic oxide content and the positive expression ratio of TNF-alpha, and improve the histological destruction on lung.

CONCLUSIONJH-1 plays a protective role for ARDS rats induced by oleic acid. The mechanism is probably related to attenuating lipid peroxidation and decreasing NO content and the expression of TNF-alpha in lung.
