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.

Huaier (Trametes robiniophila) has been widely used as an adjuvant drug for cancer treatment in China. The anti-cancer effect of Huaier extract has been confirmed in liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and so on. The main mechanisms by which Huaier exerts an anti-neoplastic effect include inhibition of the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, induction of apoptosis of cancer cells, suppression of angiogenesis, inhibition of the invasion and migration of cancer cells, regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes expression, improving immunity, and reversal of drug resistance in cancer cells. In order to provide references for further study and clinical application on anti-tumor effect of Huaier, the latest research progress on anti-tumor effect of Huaier in recent years is summarized in this paper.

[Summary] A total of 352 pregnant women were selected in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Serum levels of TSH and FT4 were determined and pregnancy outcome were observed in all subjects. According to the standard of American Thyroid Association(ATA) published in 2011 and the Chinese Guideline of Gestation Thyroid Disease published in 2012, the subjects were grouped into control(0. 1≤TSH≤2. 5 mIU/ L), observation(2. 5

The objective of the present study was to establish a method based on principal component analysis (PCA) for the study of transdermal delivery of Chinese medicinal formulae, and to choose the best penetration enhancers for Qingfei Xiaocuo gel depend on this method. Using improved Franz type diffusion cell and excised rat skin in vitro as transdermal barrier, the receptive solution fingerprint was established by HPLC, harvesting the areas of the common peaks in the fingerprint, then the total factor scores of the concentrations at different times were calculated using PCA and were employed instead of the concentrations to compute the cumulative amounts (Q12) and enhancement ratio (ER), the latter of which were considered as the indexes for optimizing penetration enhancers. Compare to the control group, the ER of the other groups increased significantly and furthermore, 2.5% azone with 2.5% menthol manifested the best effect. PCA represent most information in the receptive solution, the method above could choose the best penetration enhancers, it could be a reference for the study of transdermal delivery of Chinese medicinal formulae.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of helix B surface peptide (HBSP) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) in experimental mice.
Methods: The MIRI model was established by ligation of anterior descending coronary artery of the mice for 45 min and followed by corresponding treatment at 5 min before reperfusion. A total of 64 male ICR mice were randomly assigned to 4 group:①Sham group,②MIRI group, the mice received normal saline at 5 min before reperfusion,③HBSP group, MIRI mice received HBSP at 5 min before reperfusion and④HBSP+PD98059 group, MIRI mice received PD98059 (a speciifc blocker of ERK1/2) at 20 min before reperfusion and followed by HBSP at 5 min before reperfusion.n=16 in each group, all animals were treated for 2 hours. The area of myocardial infarction (MI) was detected by TTC-EB double staining method, the myocardial apoptosis rate was examined by TUNEL method, the levels of protein expression of ERK1/2 and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 were measured by Western blot analysis.
Results: Compared with MIRI group, HBSP group presented decreased MI area, decreased myocardial apoptosis rate and increased phopsphorylation level of ERK1/2, allP<0.05. Compared with HBSP group, HBSP+PD98059 group showed decreased phopsphorylation level of ERK1/2, increased myocardial apoptosis rate and increased MI area, allP<0.05.
Conclusion: HBSP may reduce the MI area via inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and therefore, protecting the experimental mice from MIRI; the mechanism might be related to the activation of ERK1/2 pathway.

Objective To study the clinical outcome of endoscopic vessel harvesting system (EVH) for the treatment of lower limbs varicose veins.Methods Patients (n =41) with varicose veins admitted from Jan 2011 to May 2013 were randomly divided into EVH group (n =20) and stripping group (n =21).Indexes as postoperative VAPS (48 hours and 1 week),subcutaneous ecchymosis (1 week),hematoma(1 week),skin numbness (1 week),CEAP classification (3 months),surgery effect and satisfaction scores(3 months) were compared between the two groups.Results 48 hours and 1 week VAPS was lower in EVH group(P <0.01).After EVH there was less subcutaneous ecchymosis (1 week),hematoma(1 week) and skin numbness (1 week) (all P < 0.01).Postoperative CEAP classification improved significantly in both groups (P < 0.01),while surgery effect and satisfaction scores (3 months) were better in EVH group (P < 0.05).Conclusions EVH is a safe and minimally invasive technique in treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs.

Objective To summarize the etiologic factors and evaluate the clinical outcome of reoperations on 119 limbs of recurrent varicose veins.Methods Retrospective analysis was made on etiologic factors of 119 limbs (113 patients) of recurrent varicose veins admitted to our hospital from January 2007 to June 2013.All patients underwent color duplex ultrasonography and anterograde venography of the lower extremity and were treated by reoperations.Results In the 119 limbs,102 limbs (85.7%) had residual main great saphenous veins or tributaries,97 limbs (81.5%) had incompetent perforator veins,23 limbs (19.3%) had neovascularization,9 limbs (7.6%) had incompetent small saphenous veins,21 limbs (17.6%) had incompetent femoral veins,6 limbs (5.0%) had iliac vein compression syndrome,and Budd Chiari syndrome was found as the cause of recurrence in 1 limb (0.8%).Postoperative patients were followed-up for 6-72 m (32-± 7 m).The cure rate of varicose veins were 100%.There was not recurrence of varicose veins,postoperative VCSS was 0-5 (1.2 ±0.5) vs preoperative 1-17 (6.2 ±2.5)(P < 0.01).Conclusions Residual and incompetent great saphenous veins or tributaries and incompetent perforator veins were the main etiologic factors of postoperative recurrent varicose veins.Therapeutic principle for recurrent varicose veins is to eliminating the reverse flow of superficial vein system and ligate incompetent perforator veins.
