Objective To investigate the corneal posterior surface topography characteristics of keratoconus at early stages applying the Pentacam anterior segment analysis system. Methods The present study included 43 eyes of 43 patients with keratoconus at the subclinical stage (group A), 40 eyes of 40 suspected keratoconus patients (group B), and 143 normal eyes of 143 controls (group C). Based on an examination of the Pentacam anterior segment analysis system of each subject, a series of data, including the posterior surface refractive power, the posterior surface elevation were collected. The differences among the three groups, the correlation among indices, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were analyzed. Results The mean values of the posterior surface maximum refractive power in 3 groups were -6.2 D, Q=0.5;-5.6 D, Q=0.3;and -5.5 D, Q=0.3, respectively. The mean values of the posterior surface maximum elevation were 23 μm, Q=14;11 μm, Q=8.5;and 7 μm, Q=6, respectively. The posterior surface maximum refractive power and maximum elevation among three groups were statistically different. The area under ROC (AUR) of posterior maximum refractive power and the AUR of posterior maximum elevation were greater than that of other indices in the diagnosis of early keratoconus. Conclusions Based on the results from the Pentacam anterior segment analysis system, the changes of the posterior surface refractive power and elevation are important characteristics of early keratoconus.

Objective To assess the efficacy of ganciclovir to prevent and cure cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after renal transplantation. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SCI, China Academic Journals Full-text Databases, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journals Databases and Chinese Medical Association Journals to collect randomized controlled trials of ganciclovir to prevent and cure CMV infection after renal transplantation (up to June, 2009). Two reviewers extracted data independently using a designed extraction form. The quality of included trials was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analysis. Results Twelve randomized controlled trials were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: ①Compared with no receive antiviral agents, ganciclovir couldn't lower CMV infection rate and disease rate in 3 months and 6 months after renal transplantation, but could lower CMV disease rate in 12 months. The delay between transplantation and CMV infection was significantly longer. ②Either valaciclovir or ganciclovir could lower CMV infection rate and disease rate after renal transplantation, without statistical difference. ③Compared with acyclovir, ganciclovir could lower CMV disease rate in 6 months after renal transplantation. ④Compared with CMV-IgG and valganciclovir, ganciclovir didn't have statistical difference in decreasing CMV disease rate (P=0.93;P=0.14). Conclusions Longer prophylaxis by ganciclovior may prevent CMV infection after renal transplantation. Its curative effect is similar to valaciclovir, CMV-IgG and valganciclovir, but better than acyclovir.

A method was developed for simultaneous determination of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and isoquinoline alkaloids in honey by dispersive solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( QuEChERS-HPLC-MS/MS) . The honey samples were extracted with acetonitrile solution and cleaned up with PSA absorbent. Agilent Poroshell 120 SB-C18 chromatographic column was used to separate alkaloids with high sensitivity and satisfactory resolution. The identification and quantification were achieved by using electrospray ionization in positive ion mode ( ESI+) with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Matrix-matched calibration curves with good correlation coefficients (R2>0. 99) were obtained in the concentration range of 0. 1-100 μg/L. The recoveries of the spiked samples at 1-100 μg/kg were in the range of 70% to 110% with the RSD of intra-day and inter-day lower than 15% and 20%, respectively. The limits of detection ( LOD) and limits of quantification ( LOQ) for all alkaloids were 0. 3 and 1. 0 μg/kg, respectively. This method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and isoquinoline alkaloids for quantification and confirmation in honey samples.
