AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect and the rotational stability of AcrySof Toric intraocular lens ( IOL ) implantation to correct preexisting corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery.
METHODS: Twenty-three patients ( 28 eyes ) were enrolled from the department of ophthalmology in the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. All patients underwent similar phacoemulsification procedure combined with AcrySof Toric IOL implantation from June 2012 to December 2013. The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , anticipated residual astigmatism, postoperative residual astigmatism, and Toric IOL axis were detected and measured.
RESULTS:Three months after operation, the UCVA of all eyes were 0. 75±0. 16 and the BCVA were 0. 84±0. 15, there was no significant difference between UCVA and BCVA ( t = 1. 036, P>0. 05 ). The anticipated residual astigmatism was ( 0. 28±0. 12 ) D. The actual residual astigmatism after 3mo of the operation was (0. 42±0. 17) D. There was no significant difference between anticipated and actual residual astigmatism (t=1. 259, P>0. 05). The mean axis rotation of Toric IOL was 3. 02o±1.56o (0o-7o) after 1d of operation and 3. 28o±1. 85o (0o-7o) after 3mo. Among all the eyes, 25 eyes ( 89%) rotated <5o, in 3 eyes (11%) rotated 5o-7o.

BACKGROUND: Psychological behaviors play an important role in children accidental injury, and children with a tendency of accidental injury display specific psychological properties in characters and behaviors.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the difference of personality and behavioral characters between normal children and children with a tendency of accidental injury.DESIGN: Case controlled analysis based on suffered children and normal hildren.SETTING: Department of pediatric in a civic hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 131 accidental injured children aged from 7 to 11 years were admitted at Tengzhou Civic center hospital between January and December 2001. Those with congenital intellectual disturbance and brain trauma were excluded and the rest 89 cases were asked to fill questionnaire, 8 were removed from the study due to unintegrated data and 81pieces of integral data were collected (reclaiming rate of 91.01%), including 50 males and 31 females with the mean age of (8.59±1.86) years, the intelligence quotient was(96±15) determined by Peabody picture vocabulary test(PPVT); and 81 children in control group matched in age and sex were selected from healthy children of school age without injury history and similar in some aspects, such as parents' culture degree, economic condition, educational state and the economic and culture state of inhabitancy with control group, including 45 males and 36 females with the mean age of (8.92±1.73) years, the intelligence quotient was(98±18) by PPVT. Two groups were matched in sex, age and IQ(P>0.05).METHODS: Eysenck personality questionnaire and Achenback children behavioral rating scale(parents rating scale) were used.RESULTS: Data of two groups with 81 questionnaires in each entered into the final analysis without loss. ① Scores for psychoticisim, introverted and extroverted character and neurological quality in Esonk personality question naire were(50. 01±10.58, 55.19±12.1, 57.35±10.12) in injury group, higher than corresponding(45.63±13.81, 48.09±6.49, 50. 01±10.39)in control group( t = 2. 27-4.65, P<0.05) . Scores for modified rating scale was(49.42±10.42) in control group, higher than(39.65±13.03)in injury group( P<0.001); ② The median was found higher in hyperactivity, aggression, violation of discipline, bad communication, split anxiety,depression and physical complaint in boys of injury group; as well as in hyperactivity, cruelty, aggression, depression, physical complaint, social retreat, violation of law in girls of injury group, comparing to control group(P<0.001); ③ Positive behavioral detecting rate of injury group was 32.09% (26/81), higher than 11.11% (9/81) of control group(P <0.001), OR was 3.78, and 95% CI was 1.66-8.59. Behavioral factors was proved of lower sensitivity(32. 1% ) with specificity of 88.9% and higher prognostic value of 74. 3%; ④ The mean score for Achenback children behavioral rating scale was(39. 84±10. 99) in boy which was obviously higher than(34.26 ± 10.43) in girls of injury group( P <0.05). The edian for violation of discipline and aggression in boys and depression in girls were significantly higher than the opposite sex group(P<0.05 or 0.01) . The mean score for Achenback children behavioral rating scale was (37.62±11.03) in injury group, which were obviously higher than (17.77±12.12) of control group( P<0.01) . ⑤Results of multiple factors Logistic analysis revealed that the risk factors for accidental injury included: aggression, hyperactivity and iolation of discipline in boys and aggression, violation of discipline and depression in girls.CONCLUSION: Children with a tendency of accidental injury has obvious ehavioral problems, behavioral factors were proved of lower sensitivity, but of igher specific positive prognostic value. Both boys and girls displayed speific characters in aggression and violation of discipline, and lack of pretendng capability comparing to normal children, thereby liable to response in on-rational manner.

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a dominantly inherited genetic condition. Bilateral vestibular schwannoma, which are benign tumors, composed of neoplastic Schwann cells that arise from the eighth cranial nerve, are the hallmark of NF2. Standard approaches for treatment of growing vestibular schwannoma include observation, surgical removal and radiation therapy. Molecular targeted therapies also present great prosperity in recent years. In this review, we summarize the latest progresses on the treatment of NF2-associated vestibular schwannoma.

·AIM: To investigate whether Erigeron Breviscapus (vant) Hand-Mazz (EBHM) EBHM has neuroprotective effect against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced neuron death in retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL).· METHODS: 60 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into four groups. 6 animals were normal control group (group A). The others were divided as group B (EBHM group), group C (normal saline+NMDA group) and group D (EBHM + NMDA group). Each group had 18 rats.10nmol NMDA was intravitreally injected to induce partial damage of the neurons in RGCL in the right eyes of Groups C and D. Same volume PBS was intravitreally injected into the left eyes as self-control. Groups B and D were pre-treated intraperitoneally with 6g/L EBHM solution at a dose of 150mg/kg body weight/day seven days before and after NMDA treatment. Group C were administrated intraperitoneally with 9g/L normal saline at the same time of EBHM injection. Rats were sacrificed at 4,7,14d after NMDA treatment. Flat whole retinas were stained with 5g/L cresyl violet and neuron counting in RGCL from both eyes were observed. Each subgroup had 6 rats.· RESULTS: There was no significant difference of neuron counting in RGCL between the right eye and the left eye in group A (P=0.200). There was no significant difference between normal control group and EBHM group either in the right eyes or in the left eyes at 4, 7 and 14 d respectively after intravitreal injection of 10nmol NMDA in group C and group D. (P=0.636, P=0.193). Neuron counting of RGCL in group C and D was significantly decreased in the NMDA-treated eyes at 4, 7 and 14d after intravitreal injection (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between self-control eyes group and normai control group(P>0.05). However, neuron counting was significantly higher in the EBHM+NMDA group than normal saline +NMDA group at 14days after intravitreal injection (P=0.044), but was lowered than normal control group (P<0.05).· CONCLUSION: EBHM has no effect on neuron counting of RGCL when administered alone in normal rats.The results indicates that EBHM plays a partial protective role in NMDA-induced neuron loss in RGCL in the rats.

Objective To observe the level of circulating CD31 +/CD42b-endothelial microparticles in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI),and discuss the correlation between CD31 +/CD42b-and traditional myocardial injury index.Methods A total of 22 healthy subjects and 44 patients with angiographically confirmed coronary atherosclerotic lesions collected from January 2010 to December 2010 were studied prospectively.The patients were divided into SAP (stable angina pectoris,Canadian Cardiovascular Society,CCS Ⅱ to Ⅲ ) group (n =22) and STEMI group (n =22).The level of circulating CD31 +/CD42b-endothelial microparticles was detected by flow cytometric device after admission; creatine kinase (CK) and its isoenzymes (CK-MB) were detected by using biochemical analyzer; C-reactive protein was determined by a highly sensitive latex-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay with a low detection limit of 0.25 mg/dl (IMMAGE,Beckman Coulter; Reagent from Orion Diagn Co.Ltd.,Vantaa,Finland).Cardiac troponin I was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay (ACCESS2 from Beckman Coulter).In 22 STEMI patients,blood sample was taken not only after admission but subsequently at 4-hour intervals during the first 48 hours.Peak levels of myocardial enzymes after injury ( creatine kinase,CK; creatine kinase MB isoenzyme,CK-MB; c troponins I,cTnI) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) values were determined.The correlation between circulating level of CD31 +/CD42b(-) and peak levels of myocardial biomarkers after injury were analyzed.Results The endothelial micro-particles were significantly higher in STEMI patients than those in either SAP group or normal group ( P < 0.01 ),whereas there was no difference between the latter two groups.In STEMI patients studied in these cross sectional study,circulating CD31 +/CD42b-microparticles were positively correlated with peak level of myocardial biomarkers after injury.Moreover,the correlations between myocardial biomarkers after injury ( CK,CK-MB,cTnl and hs-CRP) and circulating CD31 +/CD42b-microparticles were r =0.489,P =0.021; r =0.501,P=0.018; r=0.491,P=0.02; r=0.612,P=0.002.Conclusions The level of circulating blood CD31 +/CD42b-endothelial micro-particle was expected to become a predictive marker in STEMI.
