?AIM: To investigate the corneal high order aberrations in adults with myopia and to study its correlations with myopic degree and keratometry.?METHODS: A total of 63 patients ( 126 eyes ) from the ophthalmology department of our hospital were included in this study during May 2014 to June 2015. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , diopter, slit lamp examination, central corneal thickness ( CCT ) , funduscopic examination, corneal topography and corneal total higher order aberrations ( THOAs ) were recorded. Right eye was selected. According to the spherical equivalence ( SE) , 63 eyes were divided into two groups, the mild to moderate myopia group (M-M group, SE<-6. 00D) and the high myopia group (H group, SE≥-6. 00D). The correlations of corneal THOAs with diopter, keratometry, IOP and CCT were analyzed. Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test was used for normality test. Independent-samples t test was used for comparison between two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was for comparison between two continuous variables.?RESULTS: Z44 was found a statistic difference between the M-M group and H group (t=2. 51,P=0. 02). IOP was negatively correlated with Z5-3(r= -0. 52,P=0. 01), and CCT was positively correlated with Z4-4(r=0. 43,P=0. 03) in H group. There was no correlation between higher order aberrations and SE in M-M group ( all P>0. 05 ) Total coma aberration ( TCA ) was negatively correlated with SE (r=-0. 57,P=0. 002) and spherical degree (Sph, r=-0. 55,P=0. 003) in H group. Z40 was positively correlated with average K (AK) (M-M group:r=0. 40,P=0. 02. H group:r=0. 55, P=0. 03), K steep (Ks) (M-M group:r=0.39, P=0.02. H group:r=0.51, P=0.01) and K flat (Kf) ( M-M group:r=0. 40, P=0. 02. H group:r=0. 57, P=0. 01) in both groups. Z53was negatively correlated with Ks(r=-0.4, P=0. 04) in H group.?CONCLUSION: The THOAs parameters are influenced by diopter and keratometry. TCA is negatively correlated with SE and Sph in patients with high myopia, and spherical aberration is positively correlated with keratometry.

Objective To compare the long-term effects between procedurefor prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH) and Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy( MMH ) in the treatment of Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree of hemorrhoids. Method The clinical data of 43 cases with Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids received PPH (PPH group)and 71 cases received MMH (MMH group) were analyzed retrospectively from October 2001 to July 2003. Results Late bleeding in 5 cases of PPH group and no one of MMH group (P ＜0.05).Hemorrhoidal recurrence prolapsed in 9 cases of PPH group and 5 cases of MMH group (P ＜ 0.05). The rectal neck pressure preoperative,after 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were (122.0 ± 11.3), (90.0 ± 10.4),(103.0 ± 13.8) and (113.0 ± 11.2) cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa) of PPH group,after 6 months was decreased obviously than preoperative (P＜0.05),and they were ( 126.0 ± 13.5), (91.0 ± 12.4), (78.0 ±9.8) and (81.0 ± 7.5 ) cm H2O of MMH group,after 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were decreased obviously than preoperative (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion PPH is safety and effect at short time,but it brings more late bleeding and anal pain,and its rate of prospective hemorrhoidal recurrence is more higher than MMH.

Beginning from the tradition branch course obstacle analyzing on college student' practice ability,to define the effect and study domain and key problem about curriculum integration on practice ability cultivation can provide one kind of clear train of thought for the college curriculum adapting even surpassing the demand of this society.

Primary hepatic carcinoma is one of the high incidence malignant tumors and the mortality ranked the second in the death caused by malignant tumors in China. The research progress on the epidemiology of primary hepatic carcinoma, the related environmental factors(virus, parasite, bacterium infected, aflatoxin ingested, drinking water pollution, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages) and genes were reviewed and the mechanism of primary hepatic carcinoma was discussed in the present paper.

Dendritic cells(DCs) are known as the most efficient antigen-presenting cells that are potent stimulators of both B and T cell immune responses.The biological characteristics and culture in vitro of DCs,preparation of DC vaccines,experimental and clinical studies in tumor immunotherapy by DC vaccines are reviewed in this article.

Objective To study the genetic relationship among Dioscorea zingiberensis with different diosgenin content at DNA level.Methods DNA of all types was amplified by 12 random primers from 40 random primers,the polymorphic bands of RAPD were counted.And the results of types were analysed by POPGENE 1.31(Tool for Population Genetic Analysis 1.31) software.Results A total of 73 bands was obtained,64 of total bands(87.67%) was polymorphic.The results indicated that there were apparent and abundant genetic variations in D.zingiberensis. Conclusion The formation and accumulation of diosgenin could be affected significantly by the genetic basis of D.zingiberensis.

Background High myopia is seriously harmful to visual function.To explore the mechanism of high myopia is significant for the prevention and treatment.Complement proteins C1q and C3 have emerged as critical mediators of synaptic refinement and plasticity,however,their effects in retina on myopia remain elusive.Objective This study was to investigate the expressions of complement factors C1q and C3 in the retina with negative lensdefocused myopia in guinea pigs.Methods The use and care of animals complied with the application of Peking Union Medical College Hospital Iaboratory Animal Welfare Ethics Committee.Twelve 3-day-old pigmented guinea pigs were assigned randomly to the lens-defocused group and the normal control group.The left eyes were covered by -10 D PMMA lens for 4 weeks as the defocused eye group,and the right eyes were covered using 0 D PMMA lens in the same way as the fellow control eye group.The right eyes of the normal guinea pigs were used as the normal control eye group.The refractive diopter of guinea pigs was examined by retinoscopy.The animals were sacrificed at the fourth week and the expressions of complement C1q and C3 in the retinas of guinea pigs were detected by Western blot.Results The diptors were (-1.21±0.71)D,(+2.46±0.75)D and (+1.75±0.50)Din the defocused eye group,normal eye group and the fellow eye group at the fourth week,showing a significant difference among the groups (F=51.55,P=0.69),and diopters were insignificantly different between the normal eye group and fellow eye group (q =2.62,P=0.08).However,the diopters of the defocused eye group were significantly higher than those of the fellow eye group (q =10.92,P＜0.01).The expressions of C1q and C3 proteins in the retinas were significantly different among the defocused eye group,fellow eye group and normal eye group (C1 q:F=8.810,P =0.003;C3:F =14.490,P＜0.001),and expression levels of C1q and C3 proteins in the defocused eye group were significant higher than those of the fellow eye group (C1q:q=4.14,P=0.01 ;C3:q=4.71,P=0.005) ;while no significant differences were found between the fellow eye group and the normal eye group (C1q:q =1.61,P =0.27; C3:q =2.82,P =0.070).Conclusions The expression levels of C1q and C3 up-regulate in the retinas with lens-defocused myopic animal model.Excessive complement activation in retinas may be involved in the development of myopia.
