A new embedded telemetry system for potentiometric sensors was developed. The system consisted of a transmitter unit, a receiver unit and a personal computer ( PC) . The transmitter unit included a current amplifier, a∑-Δanalog-to-digital converter ( ADC) , a microcontroller unit ( MCU) and a radio module. The receiver unit was composed of a radio module, a microcontroller unit and a serial-to-USB converter module. The receiver unit was connected to an upper computer via a universal serial bus ( USB ) . The embedded software written in C language controlled the signal acquisition and transmission. The computer software written in LabVIEW language was used for data storage and display. The range of the acquisition voltages was from-1. 17 V to +1. 17 V. In order to verify the accuracy and reliability of this system, a control experiment had been done with this system and a digital multimeter. Moreover, a response test of acidity changes had been done with the self-made H+ selective electrode. The results showed that the accuracy of this system could be up to 0. 1 mV and it had strong anti-noise ability. The square of the linear correlation coefficient of the response of the changes in pH values was 0 . 998 . The curve of the results measured by this system was consistent with that measured by the commercial electrochemical analyzer. The system was built with standard hardware components and the size of the transmitter unit was only 29 mm×14 mm×11 mm. It can be easily used for remote and real-time detection for the potentiometric sensor.

?AlM: To evaluate the clinical effects of excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy ( PTK) assisted by anterior segment optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) in the treatment of corneal anterior diseases.
?METHODS:There were 28 eyes of 15 patients who were diagnosed as corneal anterior diseases, on which excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy was performed from September 2012 to September 2013. The patients were checked up by anterior segment OCT before operation forauxiliarily judging types and depths of the disease to direct setting parameters such as cutting depths and diameters etc. in PTK. Follow-up of 6mo were included in this study. They were observed cornea condition, uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent and haze at 6, 15d, and 1, 2, 3 and 6mo post-operatively.
?RESULTS: At postoperation, corneal condition of all patients were impoved more or less, that is, the outbreak was under control, or seizure frequency decreased obviously. There were no statistic differences between preoperation and postoperation on the changes of uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent and haze (P>0. 05).
? CONCLUSlON: ln patients with corneal anterior diseases, excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy assisted by anterior segment OCT in the treatment of corneal anterior diseases can get rid of the lesion effectively and accurately and receive better treatment effect. But it is necessary to control the cutting depth avoiding postoperative hyperopia.

AIM: To explore the effect of different corneal incision size on change in tear function after phacoemulsification cataract surgery in type 2 diabetics.
●METHODS:One hundred and fifty patients with type 2 diabetes (150 eyes) from Jan. 2015 to Oct. 2015 in our hospital were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Seventy-five patients (75 eyes) in group A: coaxial 2. 2mm micro - incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens (lOL) implantation; seventy-five patients (75 eyes) in group B:the conventional coaxial 3. 0mm small incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction and lOL implantation. The difference of demographic characteristics between two groups were insignificant. The ocular surface disease index ( OSDl ) , corneal sensation, break up time (BUT) and Schirmer′sltest(Slt) were examined preoperatively and 1wk, 1, 3 and 6mo postoperatively.
●RESULTS:At 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the OSDl score in two groups increased and the OSDl score of group B was significantly higher than those of group A and the differences were statistically significant ( all P<0. 05 ) . The corneal sensation in two groups decreased after operations and the corneal sensation of group B was significantly lower than those of group A and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0. 05). The Slt in two groups decreased after operations and the Slt of group B was significantly lower than those of group A and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0. 05). At 1wk and 1mo postoperatively, the BUT in two groups decreased after operations and the BUT of group B was significantly lower than those of group A and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0. 05). At 6mo postoperatively, no significant change was found in the OSDl score, corneal sensation, BUT and S l t of group A compared with preoperatively (all P>0. 05). At 6mo postoperatively, the differences of OSDl score and corneal sensation in group B were statistically significant compared with preoperatively ( all P< 0. 05 ) while no significant change was found in the BUT and S l t of group B (all P>0. 05).
●CONCLUSION:Phacoemulsification surgery with 2. 2mm corneal micro-incision has less effect on change in tear function comparing to the 3. 0 mm incision control, which can be applied particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To observe the association between adiponectin gene polymorphism, serum adiponectin lev-els with the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods A total of 414 patients with EH (234 cases with CAD and 180 cases without CAD) and 185 control subjects were recruited in this study. Serum adiponectin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say (ELISA). Adiponectin single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs266729,rs7649121,rs1501299 and rs3774262 were geno-typed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results Serum adiponectin levels were significantly lower in EH with CAD group than those in control group and EH without CAD group. Adiponectin SNP rs7649121 AT genotype reduced the risk of CAD compared with AA genotype (adjusted OR=0.566,95%CI 0.346-0.925,P=0.023). Logistic regression analysis showed that age and LDL-C were risk factors of CAD, and adiponectin was the protective factor for CAD in EH patients. The severity of coronary artery stenosis was negatively related to the level of adipo-nectin. Adiponectin levels were not affected by the adiponectin gene polymorphism. Conclusion The decreased serum adi-ponectin level was the independent risk factor for CAD in EH patients, which was negatively related to the severity of coro-nary artery stenosis. Adiponectin SNP rs7649121 may contribute to the risk factors of CAD in EH patients.
