Spherical aberration is the major cause which affects the functional vision of the patients implanted with spherical intraocular lenses (IOLs). Aspheric IOLs are designed to eliminate the aberration like the nature lens, thus they can produce better visual quality. If it is feasible to customize IOL design to the individual cataract patient, aspheric IOLs may substitute the traditional spherical IOLs and become the trend of IOLs.

Congenital cataracts is the leading cause of visual disability in children worldwide.With the evolution of molecular biological technique,the researches of inherited congenital cataract mainly focus on localization and fuction characterization of the disease-associated gene,including crystallin,connexin,major intrinsic protein gene,etc.And great progress has been made for such genes in eye development,age-related cataract,epigenetics study.Thus,great attention must be paid to the functional research about congenital cataract candidate gene.

BACKGROUND:BACKGROUND:Present studies have shown that bone cement have less osteoinduction and slow degradation in the body,so the effect of alone application is not satisfactory. Therefore,people have modified them,hoping to research a new materials that can overcome all shortcomings above-mentioned. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the ability of decalcified bone matrix (DBM) and acrylic bone cement (ABC) compound in filling and repairing bone defect,and to determine the best component proportion of the composition. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Randomized controlled animal experiments were performed at the Experimental Animal Center,Chongqing Medical University from May to September 2008. MATERIALS:ABC and DBM were prepared into compound material at various proportions (2:8,3:7,4:6,5:5,6:4). METHODS:The animal models of bilateral femur bone defects and fillers were established in the New Zealand White rabbits. The complex material was implanted on the bone defect; the ABC was used as blank control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The complex and alone materials were examined by biomechanics and scan electron microscopes. Gross observation,histopathological and X-ray test were used at 4,8,12 weeks after operation respectively to observe the repaired and filled status of bone defect. RESULTS:DBM composite quality of the scope of 3:7 -6:4,the composite materials that existed in more cracks more than 100 ?m,when the DBM was less than 3:7,the material inside the aperture and the majority of material was similar to ABC,mass ratio greater than 6:4 when the DBM and the ABC could not effectively together solidification. When the mass ratio was increased,which matrix particles of demineralized bone and ABC,the compressive ultimate strength of composite materials was less than pure ABC (P

Objective To explore the clinical significance of APACHE Ⅱ score on risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods One hundred and forty-two patients with acute myocardial infarction were included in the study who were admitted to hospital consecutively from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012.High risk group and low risk group were divided by the APACHE Ⅱ score.Some clinical variables at the first 24 h after admitted to hospital and occurring during the following 1 year were recorded Results The age in high risk group was 78.9 ±8.1,significantly higher than that in low risk group (65.8 ± 10.2;t =6.835,P ＜ 0.001).The cases with Killip Ⅲ and Ⅳ in high risk group were 10(29.4％) and 2(1.8％),lower than in low risk group (6 (1.8％) and 0 (0％) ; x2 =21.950,15.777 ; P ＜ 0.005).The level of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin Ⅰ in high risk group were (147.7 ±21.5) U/L and (105.5 ± 17.6) U/L,higher than in low risk group((105.5 ± 17.6) U/L,(42.9 ± 6.3) U/L; t =11.541,5.785 ; P ＜ 0.001).The incidence of severe cardiac events(malignant arrhythmia,heart failure,non fatal myocardial infarction and death from any cause in high risk group were 58.8％ (20/34),47.0％ (16/34),17.6％ (6/34) and 17.6％ (6/34),higher than in low risk group (29.6％ (32/108),3.7％ (4/108),6.4％ (7/108) and 6.4％ (7/108) ; x2 =8.274,36.665,3.876 and 3.876 ; P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion APACHE Ⅱ score is likely to be a simple and practical tool for risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of etiology,efficacy of endoscopic management for recurrent idiopathic pancreatitis (RIP).MethodsThe clinical data of 58 cases of RIP diagnosed in our hospital from April 2005 to April 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),and patients with suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction received manometry.According to the clinical and ERCP manifestations,the etiologies of RIP were determined and individualized endoscopic treatment was applied.The patients were followed-up postoperatively about the improvement of abdominal pain and recurrence of RIP.ResuItsFifty-eight patients (29 males,29 females) were suffered from acute pancreatitis from 3 to more than 10 times.The etiologies were as follows:29 cases of biliary microlithiasis,19 case of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction ( 16 cases of pancreatic type,3 cases of mixed type),4 cases of anomalous arrangement of the pancreaticobiliary duct,and 6 cases of normal manifestations at ERCP.Biliary sphincterotomy alone was performed in 33 patients,while both biliary and pancreatic sphincterotomy was performed in 8 patients,and pancreatic sphincterotomy alone was performed in 17 patients,after sphincterotomy,pancreatic stent insertion was performed in 24 patients.The follow-up data was obtained from 41 out of 58 patients,the follow-up period ranged from 3 ～ 67 months ( average 33 months).During this period,9(22.0％ ) patients suffered from RIP,and the treatment efficiency was 78％.ConclusionsBiliary microlithiasis and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction are the main causes of RIP.Drink could induce RIP.ERCP has definite treatment efficacy for RIP.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of forward-viewing,doublechannel endoscope in the process of ERCP in patients with bile duct diseases after Billroth-Ⅱ gastroenterostomy.Methods ERCP was applied to 46 patients with bile duct diseases using forward-viewing,doublechannel endoscope.All patients had the history of Billroth-Ⅱ gastroenterostomy.The success rate of selective cannulation,complication rate and the outcome of all the patients were recorded.Results The procedure succeeded in 38 patients with a success rate of 82.6％,and failed in 8.Of all the failing cases,the afferent loop couldn't be accessed in 6,failure in biliary cannulation in 2.Of 38 successful cases,bile duct stones were successfully removed in 31,metal stents placed for malignant bile duct obstruction in 4,and endoscopic balloon dilation for benign common bile duct stricture in 3.All patients recovered without complications of perforation,delayed bleeding or pancreatitis.Conclusion For patients with history of Billroth-Ⅱgastroenterostomy,ERCP with forward-viewing,double-channel endoscope yields to a higher success rate and lower complication rate.

Objective To evaluate short-term fowllow-up results of castable ceramic-IPS Empress Ⅱ onlays in restoring severe tooth defects with low occlusogingival dimension from clinical aspects.Methods 41 units of the onlay were fabricated and applied in 37 patients,who were divided into experimental group and control group.The experimental group were restored with IPS EmpressⅡcastable ceramic onlay which was bonded by a dual-cure adhesive system.The control group were restored with mental onlay which was bonded by glass-ionomer cements.All these cases were followed at 6 and 12 months after cementation of the restorations.Metewands were established to evaluate its clinical effects.Results Onlay made from IPS Empress Ⅱ castable ceramic demonstrated natural and esthetical appearance.In addition,proximal contact,retention and marginal fit of the restorations were good.No gingivitis was found.Conclusion The reliability of onlay made from IPS Empress Ⅱ castable ceramic is greatly improved due to the strengthening effects of the lithium disilicate structures.In addition,the better esthetics compared to resin filling technique makes it a comparatively ideal all-ceramic system for onlays.
