International Eye Science 2014;(8):1476-1477
ATM: To investigate the relationship between the oculus dominans and the eye with higher diopter among myopes, and to study the difference between the Worth 4 dot test and hole-in-the-card test.
METHODS: Totally 125 cases were divided into two groups as physiogenic anisometropic group and pathological anisomitropic group according to the degree of binoculus anisometropy. Worth 4 dot test and hole-in-the-card test were used to distinguish oculus dominans respectively based on medical optometry.
RESULTS: In physiogenic anisometropic group, the oculus dominans and the eye with higher diopter among myopes had significant relationship by hole-in-the-card test (Z = -4. 057, P<0. 01) and Worth 4 dot test (Z=-3. 558, P<0. 01). However, in pathological group, No statistical significance was between two tests (P>0. 05); distinguish the oculus dominans had no statistically significant difference between the Worth 4 dot test and hole-in-the-card test (n=125, P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:The oculus dominans is determined by gene or formed during juvenile period, then myopia anisometropic may affect the choice of that. The Worth 4 dot test has some reference significance for observing oculus dominans.

AlM: To investigate the refractive status of the preschool children in Xiantao, Hubei Province in order to find out the abnormal refraction error beyond the physiological range.
METHODS: ln this cross - sectional study, we investigated preschool children in kindergartens and the scattered ones were 12 716 ( 25 432 eyes ) ranging from 6mo ~ 6 years old. 1 581 children ( 3 162 eyes ) were diagnosed ametropia by Suresight refractive screening instrument, which were confirmed again after mydriasis optometry.
RESULTS: The incidence rate of ametropia in preschool children in Xiantao was 12. 4%, and statistics showed no significant difference between boys and girls (P>0. 05), but had differences of morbility rate among each age group (P<0. 05). With age increasing morbility rate of the refractive error decreased. The simple hyperopia and the compound hyperopia astigmatism were dominant in all refraction error. Professional ophthalmologists diagnosed amblyopia in 261 children (522 eyes), which was 16. 5%, among 1581 abnormal refractive children (3 162 eyes) screened out by Suresight refractive screening instrument.
CONCLUSlON: The incidence rate of ametropia decreases with age increasing in the preschool children from 6mo~6 years old, which imply preschool children should have mydriasis optometry in order to find out amblyopia and other congenital eye disease.

To study whether recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) reduces neuronal apoptosis through inhibiting over-expression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in nucleus induced by brain ischemia/reperfusion in rats, 48 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham, saline and EPO groups. Animal models of brain ischemia/reperfusion were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. The effects of EPO on the sizes of ischemia tissue were observed by TTC staining. The over-expression of GAPDH in nucleus was detected by Hoechst-33258 and anti-GAPDH antibody double staining. The neuronal apoptosis in penumbral was detected by Nissl's staining and Hoechst-33258 immunofluorescence, respectively. The results showed that rhEPO treatment (3 000 U/kg, three times daily, i.p.) apparently reduced the sizes of infarct brain tissue in ischemia/reperfusion rats. rhEPO inhibited over-expression of GAPDH in nucleus of apoptotic neurons. In the meantime rhEPO decreased the number of apoptotic neurons in ischemia/reperfusion rats. These results suggest that rhEPO may induced reduction of neuronal apoptosis in penumbra may be through inhibiting over-expression of GAPDH in nucleus of apoptotic neurons induced by ischemia/reperfusion. Reduction of GAPDH over-expression in nucleus may play a pivotal role in EPO inhibiting neuronal apoptosis in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rats, providing experimental evidence for EPO neuro-protecting effects against ischemia/reperfusion.

OBJECTIVETo observe the distribution of HBV variants resistant to lamivudine and their relation to clinical manifestations of chronic hepatitis.
METHODSUsing direct sequencing, YMDD (tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate) variants in patients with chronic HBV were detected before and during treatment with lamivudine. A statistical analysis of the distribution of HBV strains resistant to lamivudine was performed.
RESULTFour variant strains existed in patients before lamivudine treatment, 128 variant resistant strains were noted after 6 mouths of lamivudine treatment including 42 YVDD (valine) variants, 20 YIDD (isoleusine) variants and 66 non-YMDD variants. According to the hepatitis severity, 8 patients were mild, 108 moderate and 12 severe. Viral loading was higher and clinical types were more severe in no-YMDD variants.
CONCLUSIONVariant strains including strains resistant to lamivudine exist naturally before lamivudine treatment, but lamivudine-resistant ones become more dominant after treatment. Liver inflammation is more severe in non-YMDD group.
