To describe and evaluate a refraction-derived method and a clinically derived method to calculate the correct corneal power for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to compare the results to the commonly used history-derived method. Retrospective analysis were conducted in consecutive case from clinical practice. For each patient, we established the pre-LASIK and post-LASIK spectacle refraction, the pre-LASIK (K(pre)) and post-LASIK K readings (K(post)). We then calculated the pre- and post-LASIK refraction at the cornmeal plane and the amount of correction obtained by the refraction surgery (deltaSEQco). The cases were divided into two groups. Group I was used to derive two formulas. The values obtained with the two methods were compared with the K by history-derived method (K(c.hd) in group II to validate the results. The K values calculated by using the refraction-derived method (K(c.rd)) and the K values calculated using the clinically derived method (K(c.cd)) correlated highly with K(c.hd). The correct corneal power for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations after LASIK can use refraction-derived method and clinically derived method instead of history-derived method when some refractive parameters are not available.

Changes of corneal properties induced by laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) results in low inaccurate intraocular pressure (IOP) readings by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Before and after LASIK, the applied value of IOP, measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) in comparison to GAT, was evaluated. Before and 1, 4 weeks after LASIK, the IOP in 30 cases (60 eyes) was measured by GAT and DCT respectively. The obtained results were statistically processed by SPSS11.5 statistical software. The results showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) could affect GAT measurements but not DCT measurements. The comparison of IOP one and 4 weeks after LASIK revealed that the readings from GAT was separately decreased by 5.00 +/- 1.12 and 5.45 +/- 1.13 mmHg as compared with those before LASIK, while those from DCT had no significant difference. It was concluded that LASIK-induced changes of CCT could influence the accuracy of GAT measurements, but had no influence on those from DCT. DCT was more beneficial to the measurements of IOP in normal eyes and those subject to LASIK surgery.

Objective To investigate the effets of three mood stabilizers on ouabain?induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in astrocytes. Methods As?trocytes were treated with different agents and divided into different groups accordingly,namely,the control group with saline,the group with oua?bain,the group with mood stabilizers(lithium carbonate,carbamazepine,sodium valproate)and the group with ouabain+mood stabilizers. The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in each group was analyzed by Western blot. Results Compared with saline and mood stabilizer groups,the phosphoryla?tion of ERK1/2 was increased in the ouabain group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ERK1/2 phosphoryla?tion between the group with ouabain+mood stabilizers and the control or mood stabilizer group. Conclusion The three kinds of mood stabilizers can inhibit ouabain?induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in astrocytes.

OBJECTIVE:
To measure the anatomic data of the proximal femur and to design an internal fixation instrument aiming at subtrochanteric fracture.
METHODS:
We measured the anatomic data of 56 pairs of the matching proximal femur specimens: the diameter of femoral head (HD), the axis length of femoral head (HAL), 135 degree femoral head-neck axis length (HNAL), 135 degree femoral head-neck axis upper length (HNAUL), 135 degree femoral head-neck axis underside length (HNADL), the anterior-posterior axis diameter of femoral neck (NAPD), the upper-underside diameter of femoral neck (NUUD), femoral neck-shaft angle (NFA), femoral shaft lateral cortex-greater trochanter angle (SLGA), the medial-lateral diameter of lesser trochanter level's femoral shaft (LSMLD), the anterior-posterior diameter of lesser trochanter level's femoral shaft (LSAPD), the medial-lateral diameter of 5 cm below lesser trochanter femoral shaft (5 cm MLD), and the anterior-posterior diameter of 5 cm below lesser trochanter femoral shaft (5 cm APD). Part of the data was analyzed and compared.
RESULTS:
HD was (46.69+/-3.73) mm, HAL was (39.22+/-4.17) mm, HNAL was (95.45+/-8.16) mm, HNAUL was (84.02+/-7.11) mm, HNADL was (99.95+/-9.34) mm, NAPD was (26.27+/-3.15) mm, NUUD was (32.24+/-3.31) mm, NFA was 126.21 degree+/-7.13 degree, SLGA was 16.38 degree+/-4.04 degree, LSMLD was (31.05+/-3.57) mm, LSAPD was (27.63+/-2.96) mm, 5 cm MLD was (26.36+/-3.22) mm, and 5 cm APD was (25.59+/-2.75) mm. NFA was positively correlated with SLGA (r=0.396, P=0.003).
CONCLUSION
It is necessary to design internal fixator to fit the anatomical feature of Chinese femur for the treatment of subtrochanteric fracture, and we should thoroughly consider the angle of the SLGA.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the annual professional proficiency test results and the theoretical examination score of completion assessment in standardized residency training, as well as the value of the annual professional proficiency test results in predicting whether a resident passes the theoretical examination of completion assessment.Methods:The residents who participated in the annual professional proficiency test of residency training in Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University in 2019-2021 and the completion assessment of residency training in 2020-2022 were selected as subjects, and related data were collected, including sex, education background, personnel type, training specialty, the results of annual professional proficiency test, and the theoretical examination score of completion assessment. According to whether the resident passed the theoretical examination of completion assessment, they were divided into passed group and failed group. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform the chi-square test, the independent samples t-test, and the binary logistic regression analysis; the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis; the sensitivity analysis was represented by ROC curve. Results:Compared with the residents who passed the theoretical examination of completion assessment, the residents who did not pass the examination had a significant reduction in the proportion of the residents from our hospital and a significant increase in the proportion of the residents commissioned by foreign institutions ( χ 2=7.00, P=0.008). The passed group had a significantly higher national percentile of annual professional proficiency test score than the failed group (43.46%±26.61% vs. 23.40%±18.71%, t=6.02, P<0.001). The national percentile of annual professional proficiency test score was positively correlated with the theoretical examination score of completion assessment ( r=0.43, P<0.05). The source of residents commissioned by foreign institutions and the low percentile of annual professional proficiency test score were independent risk factors for failing the theoretical examination of completion assessment ( P=0.020 and P<0.001). The national percentile of annual professional proficiency test score had an area under the ROC curve of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.65-0.80) in predicting the outcome of theoretical examination and had a certain predictive value with a cut-off value of 15.1%. Conclusions:In addition to strengthening homogenization and professional base management for residency training, it is necessary to make full use of the results of annual professional proficiency test in standardized residency training and timely check the professional knowledge of the residents whose a national percentile of <15.1%, so as to effectively improve the pass rate of theoretical examination and the quality of training.
