With the mature of techniques and development of equipments in excimer laser corneal refractive surgery,the postoperative complications are decreasing gradually.As the center of cornea become thin after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)and laser subepithelial keratomileusis ( LASEK ),the strength of cornea and the intraocular pressure relatively step down,which can cause cornea anterior protrusion more or less.Because the posterior surface which is not directly affected by surgical process and healing process,so it is usually used to evaluate the protrusion of cornea.As the application of.ophthalmic anterior segment imaging and analysis system,we can get more message of cornea posterior surface.The manifestation,principle and precautionary measures of corneal posterior surface anterior protrusion after the excimer laser corneal refractive surgery were reviewed.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating hemifacial spasm and its effect on the surface electromyogram signal of orbicularis oculi muscle under contraction state.Method Seventy-six patients with hemifacial spasm were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 38 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional medications, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the intervention given to the control group. The surface electromyogram signal of orbicularis oculi muscle under contraction before and after intervention, clinical efficacies, and side effects were compared between the two groups.Result The MF and MPF values were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, the MPF value in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 92.1% in the treatment group versus 63.2% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The TESS scores after intervention were significantly different from that before intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, the TESS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective method in treating hemifacial spasm, and it can release muscle fatigue.

Objective To study the self-identity and security of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) Methods According to the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorder,Third Edition,63 inpatients and outpatients with OCD and 61 healthy controls were recruited to investigate with self-identity scale(SIS),security questionnaire (SQ),Yale-brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y-BOCS),and self-made questionnaire.Results Compared with controls,patients had lower self-identity (50.81 ± 7.52 vs 55.10 ± 6.86,P ＜ 0.01)and security(50.09 ± 11.65 vs 58.87 ± 10.22,P ＜ 0.01)than healthy controls.Female patients had lower self-identity (48.31 ±7.68 vs 52.57 ±6.98,P＜0.05) than male patients.There were correlation between self-identity and Y-BOCS (r =-0.404,P ＜ 0.01),security and Y-BOCS (r =-0.314,P ＜ 0.05),self-identity and course of disease (r =-0.284,P ＜ 0.05),security and course of disease (r =-0.259,P ＜ 0.05) self-identity and security (r =0.698,P＜ 0.01) Conclusion OCD patients have lower self-identity and security.The self-identity and security reduce with the symptoms getting worse.Low self-identity and security maybe characteristic of OCD patients.

Recombinant antibodies have become the major growth trends in biotech industry following their success on therapeutic application and good revenue. But the low level of mammalian expression and laggard fermentation process constrained the development of antibody industry in China. The global advances of antibody industry were reviewed, compared the respective advantage between dihydrofolate reductase and glutamine synthetase expression system, continuous perfusion and fed-batch processes were compared. Finally, based on the knowledge and experience of antibody expression and fermentation, the suitable strategy of antibody industrialization, e.g. the fermentation model and scale, should depend on the comprehensive consideration of entrepreneur for the productivity, manufacturing capacity and market revenue. It may be a wise choice to use glutamine synthetase expression system and continuous perfusion process for the need of Chinese antibody industrialization.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating subjective tinnitus.Method Seventy subjective tinnitus patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 cases in each group.

The serum zinc level, copper level, and pure-tone hearing threshold were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result After intervention, the serum zinc and copper levels, and pure-tone hearing threshold were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). The serum zinc and copper levels, and pure-tone hearing threshold of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group after intervention (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.8% in the treatment group versus 87.9% in the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus medication is an effective way in treating subjective tinnitus.

Objective Gastrointestinal stromal tumor( GIST) is a rare mesenchymal tumor from gastroin-testinal tract,and surgery remains the only curative treatment.In order to improve the outcome of surgical treat-ment,reduce the risk of surgery,and increase the quality of life,preoperative imatinib( IM) treatment for GIST is investigated.Methods We retrospectively studied the multidisciplinary team model treatments for 8 GIST cases receiving preoperative IM treatment.The cases were prescribed IM of 400 mg daily for 12 to 40 weeks and exten-sively followed until surgery was considered feasibleg.The clinical significance and safety profile were analyzed. Results Partial responsive rate was 62.5% in this study.There was no intolerable sever adverse effects by IM preoperative treatment.All the cases received R0 dissection,with no intraoperative tumor rupture.The postopera-tive recovery was satisfied.Conclusion IM preoperative treatment brings significant clinical benefit to large stomach GISTs and cardiac region GISTs.The preoperative treatment should be monitored carefully under a multi-disciplinary team.Preoperative IM treatment is an evocative treatment strategy for high risk GIST.

Objective To study and compare the clinical efficacy between intravitreal conbercept injection and (or) macular grid pattern photocoagulation in treating macular edema secondary to non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods Ninety eyes of 90 patients diagnosed as macular edema secondary to non-ischemic BRVO were enrolled in this study.Forty-eight patients (48 eyes) were male and 42 patients (42 eyes) were female.The average age was (51.25 ± 12.24) years and the course was 5-17 days.All patients were given best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,slit lamp with preset lens,fluorescence fundus angiography (FFA) and optic coherent tomography (OCT) examination.The patients were divided into conbercept and laser group (group Ⅰ),laser group (group Ⅱ) and conbercept group (group Ⅲ),with 30 eyes in each group.The BCVA and central macular thickness (CMT) in the three groups at baseline were statistically no difference (F=0.072,0.286;P=0.930,0.752).Patients in group Ⅰ received intravitreal injection of 0.05 ml of 10.00 mg/ml conbercept solution (conbercept 0.5 mg),and macular grid pattern photocoagulation 3 days later.Group Ⅱ patients were given macular grid pattern photocoagulation.Times of injection between group Ⅰ and Ⅲ,laser energy between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ,changes of BCVA and CMT among 3 groups at 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after treatment were compared.Results Patients in group Ⅰ and Ⅲ had received conbercept injections (1.20 ± 0.41) and (2.23 ± 1.04) times respectively,and 6 eyes (group Ⅰ) and 22 eyes (group Ⅲ) received 2-4 times re-injections.The difference of injection times between two groups was significant (P＜0.001).Patients in group Ⅱ had received photocoagulation (1.43 ±0.63) times,9 eyes had received twice photocoagulation and 2 eyes had received 3 times of photocoagulation.The average laser energy was (96.05 ±2.34) μV in group Ⅰ and (117.41 ±6.85) μV in group Ⅱ,the difference was statistical significant (P=0.003).BCVA improved in all three groups at last follow-up.However,the final visual acuity in group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ were better than in group Ⅱ (t=4.607,-4.603;P＜0.001) and there is no statistical significant difference between group Ⅲ and group Ⅰ (t=-0.802,P=0.429).The mean CMT reduced in all three groups after treating for 1 week and 1 month,comparing that before treatment (t=-11.855,-10.620,-10.254;P＜0.001).There was no statistical difference of CMT between group Ⅰ and Ⅲ at each follow up (t=0.404,1.723,-1.819,-1.755;P=0.689,0.096,0.079,0.900).CMT reduction in group Ⅰ was more than that in group Ⅱ at 1 week and 1 month after treatments (t=-4.621,-3.230;P＜0.001,0.003).The CMT in group Ⅲ at 3 month after treatment had increased slightly comparing that at 1 month,but the difference was not statistically significant (t=1.995,P=0.056).All patients had no treatment-related complications,such as endophthalmitis,rubeosis iridis and retinal detachment.Conclusions Intravitreal conbercept injection combined with macular grid pattern photocoagulation is better than macular grid pattern photocoagulation alone in treating macular edema secondary to non-ischemic BRVO.Combined therapy also reduced injection times comparing to treatment using conbercept injection without laser photocoagulation.

Objective To obtain more information concerning polymorphism of the thyrotropin (TSHR) in Graves diseases(GD). Methods (1)A family of GD was studied (including 3 patients and 9 healthy family members)to examine SNPs of TSHR through direct sequencing of all 10 exons and part of introns. (2)In the current case-control study, 30 patients with familiar GD, 48 sporadic patients and 96 healthy control individuals were used to assess whether SNP of TSHR was associated with GD. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes isolated from ACD-anticoagulated blood. Ten exons were amplified by PCR, using primers designed by ourselves. After purifying, the products were sequenced. Results Eight polymorphisms were found. There was a novel polymorphism in exon 8. There were no significant differences between patients and controls. Conclusions These findings suggested that the novel and other polymorphisms of the TSHR gene may not be responsible for GD. There are racial differences in the distribution of polymorphisms of TSHR gene.

Objective: To study the effects of vitamin E and selenium on apoptosis and c-Myc expression in human leukemia cells. Methods: DNA gel electrophoresis and Northern blotting hybridization were used to detect the apoptosis and the expression of c-Myc gene, respectively. Human leukemia cell line HL-60 and K562 were cultured in vitro. Results: The apoptosis of HL-60 and K562 cells were induced after being exposed to vitamin E (100 ?mol/L) and selenium (8 ?mol/L) for 24 hours, respectively. In HL-60 cell line, c-Myc mRNA was down-regulated significantly by vitamin E(100 ?mol/L),but not selenium(8 ?mol/L).In contrast, the expression of c-Myc gene was repressed by selenium(8 ?mol/L) and not by vitamin E(100 ?mol/L) in K562 cell. Conclusion: Our observations suggest that c-Myc down-regulation and induction of apoptosis by selenium and vitamin E are important pathways in repressing leukemia cell proliferation.The results suggest there are different mechanisms of repressing leukemia cell proliferation for selenium and vitamin E.

Objective To study the causes, emergency managements and preventative measures of intraoperative rupture during embolization of intracranial aneurysms. Methods One hundred and thirty-two patients with intracranial aneurysms and having performed embolization were enrolled. Intraoperative rupture occurred in 6 patients during embolization of intracranial aneurysms. The causes were analyzed and emergency managements were reviewed. Results The causes were as follows: intracranial aneurysms were punctured by microtubular in 2 patients, by spring coil in 1 patient and by guidewire in 1 patient, and intracranial aneurysms were attributed to stent break in 1 patient and blood pressure fluctuation in 1 patient. The rapid embolization were performed, 1 patient underwent craniotomy evacuation of hematoma, 1 patient underwent lateral ventricular drainage, 2 patients underwent lumbar cistern drainage, and 2 patients did not receive any processing. At the discharge from hospital, 2 patients recovered well, 1 patient showed mild paralysis, 1 patient had severe disability, and 2 patients died. Conclusions Intraoperative rupture during embolization of intracranial aneurysms is the life-threatening complication and mainly relates to operation, structure of aneurysm, blood pressure fluctuation during operation. The prognosis depends on the extent of bleeding and appropriate treatment without delay.
