AIM:To explore relationship between the normal strehl ratio ( SR ) values of total aberrations/SR values of total higher-order aberrations and modulation transfer function ( MTF ) at total corneal at different pupil diameters in normal population.
METHODS: To exam the SR values of total aberrations and SR values of total higher-order aberrations of total corneals in 200 people ( 400 eyes ) using SIRIUS 3D topography system and analysis the corresponding root-mean-square ( RMS) .
RESULTS: The subjects with different pupil diameters (3. 0, 5. 0, 6. 0, 7. 0mm)'s exam results of total corneal were as following:SR value of total aberrations 100’(0. 45±0. 12), (0. 25±0. 06), (0. 17±0. 05), (0. 13±0. 04); SR value of total higher order ab cerrations 100’(0. 69±0. 14), (0. 34±0. 07), (0. 24±0. 05), (0. 16±0. 04);SR value of total aberrations 200’(0. 45±0. 12), (0. 24±0. 06), (0. 20±0. 04), (0. 16±0. 03); SR value of total higher order aberrations 200’(0.70±0. 13), (0. 35±0. 07), (0. 27±0. 06), (0. 20±0.04 ) . The SR values of each group decreases with the increases of pupil diameters. The SR values of total aberrations and SR values of total higher - order aberrations at total corneals are negatively correlated with corresponding RMS value. When the pupil diameter is small, the SR value of total aberrations is more related to higher frequency region of MTF. When the pupil diameter is big, the SR value of total aberrations is more related to lower frequency region of MTF.
CONCLUSION: The visual performance of normal people can be well reflected by SR values of total aberrations and SR values of total higher - order aberrations at total corneal.

Nowadays, nanotechnologies have shown wide application foreground in the biomedical field of medicine laboratory tests, drug delivery, gene therapy and bioremediation. However, in recent years, nanomaterials have been labeled poisonous, because of the disputes and misunderstandings of mainstream views on their safety. Besides, for the barriers of technical issues in preparation like: (1) low efficacy (poor PK & PD and low drug loading), (2) high cost (irreproducibility and difficulty in scale up), little of that research has been successfully translated into commercial products. Currently, along with the new theory of "physical damage is the origin of nanotoxicity", biodegradability and biocompatibility of nanomaterials are listed as the basic principle of safe application of nanomaterials. Combining scientific design based on molecular level with precision control of process engineering will provide a new strategy to overcome the core technical challenges. New turning point of translational medicine in nanotechnology may emerge.

This study aims to investigate the serotype distribution of non-polio enterovirus (NPEV) isolated from patients with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) during 2011-2012 in Hebei Province, China and to analyze the relationship between these viruses and AFP. NPEV strains were isolated from the stool specimens from AFP cases in Hebei using human rhabdomyosarcoma cells (RD) and the mouse cell line expressing the gene for the human cellular receptor for poliovirus (L20B) according to the WHO requirements. The nucleotide sequence of VP1 region was determined, and the serotypes of NPEV were identified by molecular typing. The results showed that among the 82 strains of NPEV isolated from the AFP cases during 2011-2012, 42 isolates (55.3%) were identified as human enterovirus A (HEV-A), which were classified into 4 serotypes, 34 (44.7%) as human enterovirus B (HEV-B), which were classified into 13 serotypes, 2 as adenovirus, and 4 were untyped; human enteroviruses C and D were not found in these cases. Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) was the main type of HEV-A, accounting for 85.7% of all HEV-A strains. HEV-A, especially EV-A71, was predominant among the NPEV strains isolated from AFP patients during 2011-2012 in Hebei Province.

Objective To explore the pharmacokinetics of single and multiple oral 20 mg escitalopram in healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods A total of 12 subjects participated in the study. Escitalopram 20 mg was given orally once on day 1 and days 8 to 14 in the fast condition. Sequen-tial blood samples were collected over 144 hours on day 1 and 14 and a predose sample was obtained on day 12 to 14. Escitalopram concentrations in plasma were determined by a validated HPLC fluorescence method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with DAS software. Results Escitalopram disposition on oral administration is characterized by a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model. The mean t1/2 is 41.09 h, Cavis (76.4±26.8) μg·L-1, AUCss is (1832.4±642.4) μg·h ·L-1,AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞are (4765.9±2171.0) and (5385.6±2851.2) μg ·h·L-1, respectively; tmaxis (3.2±1.3) h;t1/2 is (41.1±17.7) h;CLis 5.0 L·h1. The mean accumulation index of AUC ( RAUC) is ( 1.2 ±0.3 ). Conclusion Escitalopram pharmacokinetics in healthy Chinese subjects given 20 mg once daily dosing regimen were characterized by a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model. The state -concentration oc-curre after 7 days of continuously dosing. There is no accumulation after continuously dosing.

OBJECTIVETo observe the correlation between constitution of yin deficiency syndrome (YDS) and polymorphism of HLA-DQA1/treatment response of Peg-lFNalpha therapy in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, and to explore constitution of Chinese medicine (CM) in response of interferon therapy.
METHODSTotally 120 HBeAg positive CHB patients who were treated with Peg-IFNalpha were enrolled, and assigned to YDS group (59 cases) and non-YDS group (61 cases) according to classification of CM constitutions. All patients were subcutaneously injected with Peg-IFNalpha-2b (1.0 microg/kg body weight) or Peg-IFNalpha-2a (180 microg), once per week. Effective efficacy was primarily judged when complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was obtained at month 6. Those with CR or PR completed 1 year therapeutic course. HLA-DQA1 gene types were detected by polymerase chain reaction sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP). The distribution difference of CM constitutions in patients with CR or PR and their inter-group HLA-DQA1 allele frequency were compared.
RESULTSDifferent treatment responses of Peg-IFNalpha were observed in CHB patients of two different CM constitutions. The ratio of CR + PR was 61.0% (36/59) in YDS group, obviously lower than that in NYDS group [78.7% (48/61), P < 0. 05]. Patients with CR had a lower allele frequency of HLA-DQA1 * 0501 than those with no-response [14.8% (8/54) vs. 30.6% (22/72)] with statistical difference (P < 0.05). Patients with CR had a higher allele frequency of HLA-DQA1 * 0601 than those with no-response [18.5% (10/54) vs. 5.6% (4/72)] with statistical difference (P < 0.05). The allele frequency of HLA-DQA1 * 0301 was lower in YDS group than in non-YDS group [2. 5% (3/118) vs. 9.8% (12/122)] with statistical difference (P < 0.05). The allele frequency of HLA-DQA1 * 0501 was higher in YDS group than in non-YDS group [33.9% (40/118) vs. 18.9% (23/122)] with statistical difference (P < 0.05). Yet statistical significance was lost after adjustment (Pc > 0.05 for both).
CONCLUSIONSBoth constitutions of CM and HLA-DQA1 gene polymorphism af- fect HBeAg positive CHB patients' response to Peg-INFalpha. Constitutions of YDS and HLA-DQA1 * 0501 was not favorable to response, their association needed to be further studied.
