Background Postoperative ametropia, especially large astigmatism after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for keratoconus often results in poor visual acuity.Though postoperative ametropia can be corrected by wearing glasses or performing corneal refractive surgery, the visual quality of patients is still poor, and the operations are difficult to implement because of insufficient corneal thickness.Toric intraocular collamer lens (TICL) implantation appears to have good corrective efficacy on severe astigmatism,but the research on the eyes after DALK is still less.Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TICL implantation for the ametropic eyes following DALK for keratoconus.Methods This study protocol was approved by Ethic Commission of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical procedure.A self-controlled serial observational research was carried out.Eight ametropic eyes of 8 patients who received the DALK for keratoconus before 18 months were enrolled in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from August 201 1 to March 2012, with the spherical diopter range from 0 D to-7.5 D and cylindrical diopter range from-2.5 D to-6.0 D.TICL implantation was performed on the eyes.The eye examinations were carried out before surgery and 1 week,3 months,6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery,including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) ,best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ,comprehensive optometry, corneal astigmatism degree, the central corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal endothelial cell counts (ECD) ,intraocular pressure.The examination outcomes were compared before and after surgery.The intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed to evaluate the safety of TICL implantation for the ametropic eyes following DALK for keratoconus.Results The UCVA and BCVA were obviously improved at 6 months after TICL implantation in comparison with before surgery and maintained stable during the follow-up duration.The mean spherical diopter was from-0.5 D to-1.0 D and the mean cylindrical diopter was from-0.5 D to-2.0 D after surgery.The corneal endothelial cell counts were (2 520.2 ± 307.2) , (2 496.2 ± 306.2) , (2 469.6±304.5) , (2 432.0 ± 305.4), (2 383.4 ± 309.4)/mm2, and the intraoeular pressures were (14.57 ± 3.75), (16.62±4.21), (16.57±3.56), (15.66±3.37), (15.13±3.48) mmHg, showing insignificant differences among different time points (F =0.375,P =0.825;F =9.871, P =0.394).No significant differences were found in mean ACD and intraocular pressure between before and after surgery (t =1.56 ,P =0.16).The axial deviation of TICL was less than 10° in all the operated eyes 6 months after surgery.No intraoperative and postoperative complications were found during the follow-up duration.Conclusions TICL implantation is a safe and effective alternative and viable approach to myopic and astigmatism patients following DALK for keratoconus.

Liver fibrosis is a major cause of morbidity and mor-tality worldwide which poses a great threat to public health. Con-siderable evidence suggests that the immune system is closely re-lated to the development of hepatic fibrosis especially the dendrit-ic cells ( DCs) . In recent years, many studies have showed that DCs play a key role in regulating the immune function of liver, which not only mediate the activation of the immune system and inflammation reaction in liver, but influence the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis. Further study has found that DCs exert different effects on liver fibrosis at different stages of the disease, and it exerts anti-fibrosis in early stages and recession period, while plays opposite effect in the middle of the disease. This article reviews the research progress of the role of DCs in liver fibrosis and discusses the underlying mechanisms of DCs in regulation of liver fibrosis, which may provide references for bas-ic and clinical studies of liver fibrosis.

Objective To prepare a red blood cells based multifunctional nanoscaled drug delivery system,and to study its in vitro photothermal and photodynamic effects.Methods The indocyanine green (ICG)/doxorubicin (DOX) co-loaded nanoscaled red blood cells (DIRAs) were prepared using an extrusion method.The morphology,particle size,encapsulation efficiency,and stability were determined.The heating related change of particle size was studied using a size and potential tester.The in vitro photothermal effect was studied using an infrared imaging device.The uptake of DIRAs to 4T1 cells was studied using a CLSM examination.The in vitro photodynamic effect was studied using a fluorescence probe and CLSM examination.Results DIRAs were successfully prepared with a uniform and homogeneous size which was about (97.0±20.1) nm.The Zeta potential was about-21.6 mV and the encapsulation efficiency of ICG and DOX were 93.5％ and 95.2％,respectively.The DIRAs had excellent stability within 28 days.This nanoscaled drug delivery system had identical photothermal effect compared to free ICG.The cellular uptake of DOX was significantly improved after the laser irradiation and the photodynamic effect was enhanced.Conclusions The prepared DIRAs have regular shape,suitable particle size,high encapsulation efficiency and high photothermal conversion efficiency.DIRAs can improve the cellular uptake of DOX and enhance the photodynamic efficiency.This biomimetic muhifunctional nano-system could facilitate breast cancer treatment by combining PTT7PDT and chemotherapy.

Objective:To compare the one-year postoperative visual quality after trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and monofocal IOL implantation.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.Forty-one eyes from 41 age-related cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification extraction combined with IOL implantation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from May 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled.The patients were divided into trifocal IOL group (20 eyes) receiving ZEISS AT LISA tri 839MP trifocal IOL implantation and monofocal IOL group (21 eyes) receiving ZEISS 603P monofocal IOL implantation according to their willingness.One year after surgery, uncorrected distant visual acuity (UCDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) and distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) were detected in both groups.The patient point spread function (PSF), modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio (SR), OQAS Ⅱ values at 100%, 20%, and 9% contrast (OV 100%, OV 20%, OV 9%) and objective scattering index (OSI) were measured by OQAS Ⅱ.Wavefront aberrations including total aberration (TA), total high order aberrations (tHOAs), spherical aberration, coma, trefoil aberration, total low order aberrations (tLOAs), defocus, and astigmatism were evaluated with the iTrace visual function analyzer.All aberrations were represented by root mean square.The visual acuity of operative eyes was measured with a phoropter, and defocus curves were drawn with visual acuity better than 0.5 LogMAR.The incidence of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) in the IOL region was quantitatively analyzed by Sellman method.Visual function was scored by visual function index (VF-14). This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School (No.2018-219-01). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any medical examination.Results:One year after the operation, UCIVA, UCNVA, DCIVA, and DCNVA of trifocal IOL group were significantly better than those of monofocal IOL group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.001). OQAS Ⅱ visual quality indicators showed that the MTF cutoff frequency, SR, OV 100%, and OSI values of trifocal IOL group were significantly higher than those of monofocal IOL group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). No significant difference in wavefront aberrations was found between the two groups (all at P>0.05). Defocus curve showed that the LogMAR visual acuity of patients at -1.0 D, -1.5 D, -2.0 D, -2.5 D, -3.0 D, and -3.5 D (namely, 1 m, 66 cm, 50 cm, 40 cm, 33 cm, and 29 cm) in monofocal IOL group were significantly better than those in trifocal IOL group (all at P<0.05). There was a higher incidence of PCO in trifocal IOL group than monofocal IOL group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=41.0, P<0.001). The VF-14 score of trifocal IOL group was 87.99±1.09, which was significantly higher than 81.49±1.67 of monofocal IOL group ( t=10.301, P<0.001). Conclusions:One year after trifocal IOL implantation, the full range of vision, subjective and objective visual quality of eyes are better than eyes implanted with monofocal IOL.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of open reduction and cannulated screw fixation directly via the anterior approach for femoral neck fracture of Garden type Ⅳ which is difficultly reducible in young and middle-aged patients.Methods:Forty patients aged younger than 65 years old were treated by open reduction and cannulated screw fixation directly via the anterior approach for femoral neck fractures which were difficulty reducible at Department of Orthopaedics, Mindong Hospital from March 2015 to October 2017. They were 28 males and 12 females, aged from 22 to 62 years (mean, 49.2 years). All the fractures were type Ⅳ by the Garden classification. The time from injury to operation averaged 3.2 d (range, from 1 to 6 d). Their postoperative fracture nonunion and femoral head necrosis were recorded. The reduction quality and hip function were evaluated using Garden reduction index and Harris hip scores.Results:All the 40 patients were followed up for 11 to 44 months (mean, 22.3 months). Nonunion occurred in one patient who had to accept secondary artificial hip replacement. No avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurred in any patients. The anteroposterior Garden reduction indexes at 2 d after surgery and at the last follow-up for the 40 patients were respectively 156.97°±1.40° and 157.07°±1.47°, showing no significant difference( t=-0.302, P=0.765); so were the lateral Garden reduction indexes (171.82°±4.48° and 172.10°±4.27°) ( t=-2.333, P=0.817). The Harris hip scores at the final follow-up for the hip ranged from 77 to 98 (average, 92); 31 cases were rated as excellent, 6 as good, 2 as fair and one as poor, giving an excellent to good rate of 92.5%. Conclusion:In the treatment of femoral neck fracture of Garden type Ⅳ which is difficultly reducible in young and middle-aged patients, if closed reduction has failed, open reduction and cannulated screw fixation directly via the anterior approach can achieve satisfactory short-term outcomes because it facilitates fracture reduction and fixation under direct vision, promotes fracture union and reduces avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
