AlM:To discuss the feasibility of microcoria optometry in screening for children ametropia. METHODS: Totally 217 school - age children were selected, included 94 first-grade students ( 6 ~ 8 years old) and 123 fourth-grade students ( 9 ~12 years old ) . Refractive diopter was measured with automatic refractor RM-8000 to evaluate the accuracy of micocoria optometry in screening ametropia.RESULTS: After cycloplegia, both the mean sphere diopter and cylinder diopter in grade one students changed significantly (P<0. 05), the mean sphere diopter in grade four students changed significantly (P<0. 05), while the mean cylinder diopter had no statistical difference ( P>0. 05 ) in grade four students. Different refractive type: before and after mydriasis spherical myopia, spherical equivalent difference was 0. 263 ± 0. 618 and 0.216±0.653D, with statistical significance (P<0.01);ln hyperopia group, spherical myopia, spherical equivalent difference was 0. 947±0. 946 and 1. 039±0. 984D, with statistical significance ( P = 0. 000 ). The lenticular difference between the two groups were not statistically different ( P > 0. 05 ). Choosing small pupil computer optometry for ≤- 1. 00D, ≥- 0. 50D child myopia or hyperopia could get more accurate value of diagnostic cutoffs, Youden index was 0. 672 and 0. 580. CONCLUSlON: Microcoria optometry can be as a effective method of screening of children with ametropia, but if for optometry, school-age children must accept mydriasis.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between intraoperative concentration of C-X-C motif chemokine 13 (CXCL13) in peripheral blood and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients under general anesthesia.Methods:Ninety-three patients of both sexes, aged 65-85 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ, scheduled for elective hip replacement under general anesthesia, were selected.Peripheral venous blood samples were collected to determine the concentrations of CXCL13 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before anesthesia and during surgery (30 min after skin incision). The Confusion Assessment Method Scale in Chinese was used to detect the development of POD every day within 7 days after surgery in 2 groups.The patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for POD.Results:Seventeen patients developed POD (19%). There was significant difference in ages, preoperative mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores before surgery, hospital stay time and intraoperative concentrations of CXCL13 and IL-6 in peripheral blood between group non-POD and group POD ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative MMSE scores, intraoperative concentrations of CXCL13 and IL-6 in peripheral blood and advanced ages were independent risk factors for the development of POD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Preoperative MMES scores, intraoperative concentrations of CXCL13 and IL-6 in peripheral blood and advanced ages are independent risk factors for the development of POD.

AIMTo compare the effects of the non-mitogenetic human acidic fibroblast growth factor (nmhaFGF) and the human acidic fibroblast growth factor (haFGF) on the proliferation and MAPK signal transduction pathway of the malignant tumor cell and to study the clinical safety of nmhaFGF.

METHODSThe mammary tumor cells (MCF-7) were treated with haFGF and nmhaFGF separately. The mitogenic activities of both haFGF and nmhaFGF were detected by MTT method and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometer (FCM). The expression levels of the signal proteins, Grb2 (growth factor receptor bound 2) and ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2), were detected by semi-quantitative Western blotting method.

RESULTSThe mitogenic activity of nmhaFGF was obviously lower than that of haFGF. The activity of nmhaFGF was weaker than that of the haFGF. The ratio of G1/G0, G2/M of haFGF was markedly lower than that of nmhaFGF and control group, and was reverse in S phase. The expression levels of both Grb2 and ERK1/2 of the nmhaFGF treated group were lower than that of the haFGF treated group and approaching the control group.

CONCLUSIONThe mitogenic activity of the nmhaFGF decreased remarkably. Its mechanism probably via down-regulation of the expression of the signal moleculars, MAPK-ERK1/2 and Grb2.
