International Eye Science 2015;(8):1370-1374
The treatment of myopic amblyopia and myopic anisometropic amblyopia is difficult and usually resultless and it has been the obstacle of amblyopic treatment. Corneal contact lens, corneal refractive surgery and phakic intraocular lens as new methods can significantly improve visual acuity of patients with high myopic amblopia and myopic anisometorpic ambyopia. For correcting myopia and myopic anisometropic amblyopia it provides a new method. This paper discusses the availibility and safty of above methods for the treatment of myopic amblyopia and myopic anisometropic amblyopia.

Objective:To establish a stable primary culture method of human gingival epithelial cells, with a higher successful rate and shorter culture time.Methods:Nine patients who received “crown-lengthening surgery”with relatively healthy periodontal conditions were selected (n =9).Gingival sam-ples were collected from the 9 donors during gingivectomy.Gingival epithelial cells were isolated and cul-tured by both an advanced enzyme digestion method and a tissue explant method.In the advanced enzyme digestion culture process,2.5 g/L DispaseⅡwas used to separate the epithelial tissue part from the con-nective tissue part,which lasted for one night.Then the epithelial tissues were digested by 0.025% tryp-sin without EDTA for 10 minutes,and centrifuged by keeping the digested epithelial tissues that re-mained.This advanced method not only decreased the concentration and digesting time of the two above-mentioned enzymes,but also simplified the centrifugel process.The tissue explant method was not changed too much compared with the original method.Growing processes of the primary cells cultured by the two methods were observed and recorded respectively,and indirect immunocytochemical staining was used to identify the type of cultured cells.At the same time,successful rates and cell culture time were also compared between the two methods.Results:Human gingival epithelial cells with typical morpholo-gy could be cultured within a shorter period by the advanced enzyme digestion method with a successful rate of 88.9%,and proliferated rapidly as sheets.After 10 -14 d cells could be passaged,gradually turned to be like fibroblasts when passaged to the third generation,and eventually went to apoptosis.The primary culture time was longer by using the tissue explant method,and approximately after 17 -22 d cells could be passaged,although the successful rate was the same as the enzyme digestion method.Cy-tokeratin staining was both positive by indirect immunocytochemical staining of cells.Conclusion:Pri-mary human gingival epithelial cells cultured by the advanced enzyme digestion method could grow faster and be passaged to the second generation successfully,which could supply a stable origin for cellular ex-periments.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of STAT3 in the retina during the early development of postnatal hamster. Methods Immunocytochemical method and Western blot analysis were used. Results The expression of STAT3 was found in all layers of the retina in all newborn hamsters,most pronounced in the ganglion cell layer(GCL),the inner plexiform layer(IPL)and the inner area of neuroblastic layer(NBL).With the development,the STAT3 immunoreactivity was gradually restricted in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of the retinal ganglion cells.The result of the Western blot showed that the STAT3 was highly expressed in the first week of postnatal development and then reduced gradually till the lowest point in the adulthood.Conclusion The expression of STAT3 protein may be closely related to the early development of the retina in the postnatal hamster.
8.MedDRA and its applications in statistical analysis of adverse events.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(11):1396-1401
Safety assessment in clinical trials is dependent on an in-depth analysis of the adverse events to a great extent. However, there are difficulties in summary classification, data management and statistical analysis of the adverse events because of the different expressions on the same adverse events caused by regional, linguistic, ethnic, cultural and other differences. In order to ensure the normative expressions, it's necessary to standardize the terms in recording the adverse events. MedDRA (medical dictionary for regulatory activities) has been widely recommended and applied in the world as a powerful support for the adverse events reporting in clinical trials. In this paper, the development history, applicable scope, hierarchy structure, encoding term selection and standardized query strategies of the MedDRA is introduced. Furthermore, the practical process of adverse events encoding with MedDRA is proposed. Finally, the framework of statistical analysis about adverse events is discussed.

Objective To evaluate the learning curve of three-port extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(ELRP) and to minimize operative time and blood loss about this procedure.Methods From August 2013 to October 2014,the data from 95 consecutive patients,who had undergone three-port ELRP for prostate cancer,were retrospectively analyzed.The mean age was 65.9 ± 7.7 years,mean total PSA level was 15.4 ± 12.7 μg/L,and mean body mass index(BMI) was 24.8 ± 3.2 kg/m2.According to the number of procedures performed by the surgeon,all patients were classified into three chronologic groups,including group A (No.1-32),group B (No.33-64) and group C (No.65-95).There were no significant differences including age,BMI,tPSA,estimated prostate volume,clinical stages,history of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy,history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) among group A,B and C (P > 0.05).The operative outcomes analyzed were operative time,estimated blood loss,hospital stay,drainage tube indwelling days,pathological Gleason scores,pathological stages,positive surgical margin rates,biochemical recurrence rates and urinary incontinence rates.Among these 95 patients,the results of the first 32 cases were compared with those of the remaining 63 cases,the first 64 with the remaining 31.Results The average operative time in 95 patients was 81.0 ± 18.6 min.The sloping learning curve for this surgeon showed that the operative time for all 95 cases was strongly correlated with additional experience (| rs | =0.612,P<0.01).Operative time,however,was not strongly correlated with the surgeon's experience in each group of A,B and C(P >0.05).Group A had longer operative time than that of Group B plus C(96.4 ± 11.3 min vs 73.2 ± 16.7 min,P <0.01).Group A plus B had longer operative time than that of group C (87.6 ± 17.2 min vs 67.5 ± 13.8 min,P < 0.01).For all cases,the estimated blood loss was strongly correlated with additional experience (| rs | =0.677,P < 0.01).Estimated blood loss was strongly correlated with the accumulation of experience for the initial 32 cases(| rs | =0.619,P < 0.01).However,no strong correlation was observed over the next 63 cases.Group A had more blood loss than that of Group B plus C (158.7 ± 81.3 ml vs 74.1 ± 54.4 ml,P < 0.01).Group A plus B had more blood loss than that of group C (125.5 ± 71.6 ml vs 55.3 ± 61.6 ml,P < 0.01).But hospital stay,drainage tube keeping days were not strongly correlated with additional experience in each group(P > 0.05).There were no significant correlation between the accumulation of experience and positive surgical margin rates,biochemical recurrence rates and urinary incontinence rates.Conclusion Our experience of three-port ELRP cases appears to be favorable with decreasing tendency in operative time,estimated blood loss with experience accumulation.Exposure to 32 surgeries,operative time and estimated blood loss reduced significantly,and after 64 cases operative time and estimated blood loss further reduced.
