AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of large sized continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( CCC ) involving zonular area in manual small incision cataract surgery ( MSICS) .
METHODS:Totally 1 443 cataract patients ( 1 965 eyes ) underwent MSICS, in which large CCC up to 7-8mm were performed . The related conditions such as success rate of performing CCC, capsule rupture, corneal edema and visual acuity after surgery were recorded and statistically analyzed.
RESULTS:In total of 1 965 eyes, 1 942 eyes ( 98. 83%) had successful CCC, 15 eyes (0. 76%) had a radial tear which could not be saved when performing CCC, 8 eyes (0. 41%) had anterior capsule opened with a cystotome or a scissor due to capsule membrane calcification. No posterior capsule rupture occurred, and intraocular lens was transplanted in all cases. Transient corneal edema was noted in 36 eyes (1. 83%). One day after surgery, 1650 eyes (83. 97%) had visual acuity ≥0. 5, 1867 eyes (95. 01%) ≥0. 3. No unstable intraocular lens was noted in all cases.
CONCLUSION:Large CCC technique for MSICS is safe and reliable, not decreasing stability capsular bag and intraocular lens. It is of high originality despite zonular area is involved so that it is worthy of application in basic medical institutions.

There is a variety of gut microbiota in human body, which is closely associated with the health and disease. Normal gut microbiota can produce colonization resistance to pathogens. Antibiotics can affect the composition of gut microbiota and change the intestinal microenvironment, resulting in intestinal microecological disorders, which in turn cause intestinal pathogenic infections and other diseases. In this paper, the concept of intestinal microecology, the mechanism of intestinal colonization resistance, the effect of antibiotics on intestinal microecology, and the treatment methods were reviewed, aiming to provide the information for the rational use of antibiotics and the development of more effective treatment methods to maintain the stability of intestinal microecology.

Objective To analyze the outcome of childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated (ALL) with SCMC-ALL-2005 protocol. Methods Newly diagnosed B-cell ALL from May 1, 2005 to April 30, 2009 in ifve hospitals were treated and followed up according to SCMC-ALL-2005 protocol. Results A total of 601 cases with newly diagnosed B-cell ALL were enrolled. Among them, 539 cases (89.68%) were followed up until September 30, 2011. In 601 patients, there were 284 low-risk cases (LR group), 231 moderate-risk cases (MR group) and 86 high-risk cases (HR group) which were treated with SCMC-ALL-2005 protocol. The total complete remission rate during the period of induction was 98.84%and 7 cases did not achieve complete remission. The median time of the ifrst event occurring was 35 months (2.94 years). Among 539 cases completing follow-up, 403 cases (74.77%) completed treatment including 223 cases (86.43%) in LR group, 150 cases (73.17%) in MR group and 30 cases (39.47%) in HR group. The rate of cases completing treatment was signiifcantly different among three groups (P=0.001). The completion rate was highest in LR group and lowest in HR group. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (83.3±1.8)%, and the 3-year EFS (event-free survival) rate was (79.2±1.9)%using a Kaplan-Meier method. The 5-year OS rate was (79.5±3.3)%, and the 5-year EFS rate was (70.9±3.7)%. There were signiifcant differences in 3-year EFS rate and 5-year EFS rate among three groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Childhood B-ALL treated with SCMC-ALL-2005 protocol achieved a better therapeutic effect and prognosis. The multi-center collaborative research is useful for the standard treatment of ALL.

Objective To investigate the expression of human spindle mitosis arrest deficiency gene (hsMAD2)in spontaneous abortion embryos and the relationship between low expression of hsMAD2 and numerical chromosomal aberration. Methods Spontaneous abortion embryo tissues were collected,including 23 cases of once spontaneous abortion tissue and 10 cases of twice or more spontaneous abortion tissue and induced abortion embryos(35 cases)from the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the Affilisted Hospitals of Chongqing University of Medical Science during the period of March 2006 to March 2007.FQ-PCR and western blot were used to evaluate the endogenous expression level of hsMAD2 mRNA and hsMAD2 protein;primary culturing of cells from the induced abortion embryos was conducted and 5 embryonic cells were selected by chromosomes karyotype analysis.Recombinant shRNA plasmids targeting hsMAD2 gene were constructed to inhibit the expression of endogenous hsMAIY2 genes in embryonic cells which have normal karyotypes;the groups were defined as the first experimental group(transfeeted with pshRNA-hsMAD2-1),the second experimental group(transfected with pshRNA-hsMAD2-2),the third experimental group(transfected with pshRNA-hsMAD2-3),the first control group(transfected with nothing),the second control group(transfected with pTZU6+1)and the independent group(transfected with pshRNA-N1).Interference efficiency was demonstrated by FQ-PCR and western blot:cell prolireration was meagured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay;cell-cycle was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM):the chromosome numbers were calculated to analyze the variation of chromosomes.Results(1) The mRNA levels of hsMAD2 in the once spontaneous abortion tissue,twice or more spontaneous abortion tissue and indueed abortion tissue were 0.00879±0.00035.0.00901±0.00033 and 0.00941±0.00026 respectively,and there Wag no significant ditierence(P>0.05)compared with each other;however,the protein levels of hsMAD2 in three groups were 0.2791±0.0311.0.0431±0.0020 and 0.5790±0.0331 respectively,and there were significant difierences(P<0.05)compared with each other.(2)Recombinant shRNA plagmids could significantly and specifically inhibit hsMAD2 gene expression in embryonic cells.Compared with the first control group(4%)and the second control group(3%),the recombinant shRNA could inhibit embryonic cell proliferation to 54% at 48 h after transfection(P<0.05):compared with the first control group(8.2%)and the second control group(8.0%),the ratios of G2/M phase cells in the experimental group(17.9%)was significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with the first control group (4.8%),the ratios of abnormal chromosomes in the experimental group was increased to 30.0%(P<0.05).Conclusions Down-expression of hsMAD2 gene may be one of the mechanisms inducing numerical chromosome aberration,abnormal embryo development and the occurrence of spontaneous abortion.

Objective To discuss the preservation and clinical significance of petrosal vein in microsurgical operation of acoustic neuroma. Methods 147 patients with acoustic neuroma were operated, with internal decompression of the tumor firstly then dissected the tumor with surrounding structures, the petrosal vein were protected well in 143 cases and failed to protect in 4 cases. Results No hemorrhagic infarction in cerebellar was observed in 143 cases with intact petrosal vein. One case occurred with extensive cerebellar edema, which has gait disturbance after 18 months follow-up. The other three cases occurred with vein infarction and hemorrhagic edema after petrosal vein damage. One was dead and the other two were recovered well after decompression of posterior cranial fossa. One has no significant neurological deficit after 33 months follow-up, while the other has difficulty in line walking after 12 months follow-up. Conclusion Petrosal vein should be well protected in the operation of acoustic neuroma, the decompression of posterior cranial fossa should be considered if petrosal vein failed to protect.
