AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect and the rotational stability of AcrySof Toric intraocular lens ( IOL ) implantation to correct preexisting corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery.
METHODS: Twenty-three patients ( 28 eyes ) were enrolled from the department of ophthalmology in the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. All patients underwent similar phacoemulsification procedure combined with AcrySof Toric IOL implantation from June 2012 to December 2013. The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , anticipated residual astigmatism, postoperative residual astigmatism, and Toric IOL axis were detected and measured.
RESULTS:Three months after operation, the UCVA of all eyes were 0. 75±0. 16 and the BCVA were 0. 84±0. 15, there was no significant difference between UCVA and BCVA ( t = 1. 036, P>0. 05 ). The anticipated residual astigmatism was ( 0. 28±0. 12 ) D. The actual residual astigmatism after 3mo of the operation was (0. 42±0. 17) D. There was no significant difference between anticipated and actual residual astigmatism (t=1. 259, P>0. 05). The mean axis rotation of Toric IOL was 3. 02o±1.56o (0o-7o) after 1d of operation and 3. 28o±1. 85o (0o-7o) after 3mo. Among all the eyes, 25 eyes ( 89%) rotated <5o, in 3 eyes (11%) rotated 5o-7o.
CONCLUSION: The AcrySof Toric IOL implantation shows good effectiveness, predictability and stability in correcting pre-existing astigmatism in cataract patients.

A retrospective study was conducted based on the clinical data of 15 choledocholith patients after Billroth-Ⅱgastroenterestomy who were treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) through colonoscopy or duodenoscopy.It showed that choledocholith removed by colonoscopy for patients with Billroth-Ⅱ gastroenterestomy can achieve comparable therapeutic effect,but this method can reduce the operation difficulty,shorten the operation time and significantly increase the success rate.

Objective To explore the relationship between dipeptidyl peptidaseⅡ(DPPⅡ) and the pathogenesis of congenital cataract.Methods Eighty SCR rats with congenital cataract were randomly divided into four groups:8,10,12 and 14 weeks groups(n=20).Normal Wistar rats at each age were used as control groups.Immunohistochemical experiments using the streptavidin-biotin immunoper-oxidase method were used to observe the immunoreactivity changes of DPPⅡ in lens in SCR rats at different time(8,10,12,14 weeks).Results The immunoreactivities of DPPⅡ in the lens epithelial cells and fibres of cataractous lenses of all ages were higher than those in control groups.At the 12th and 14th week,immunoreactive staining of DPPⅡwas found to extend into the perinuclear region.Conclusion The immunoreactivity of DPPⅡ is enhanced in cataractous rat lenses.DPPⅡ may be participated in the proteolytic modification of lens proteins during cataractogenesis.

Objective To explore the changes of serum cortisol and its influence on prognosis in children with traumatic brain injury( TBI) . Methods A total of 52 children suffering from TBI hospitalized in SICU of Nanjing Children′s Hospital from June 2014 to December 2015 were analyzed. According to the glasgow coma scale(GCS),they were divided into three groups:mild injury group(19 cases,GCS≥13), moderate injury group(16 cases,8

Objective To observe the effect of calycosin on cisplatin?induced inhibition of human gastric BGC823 cells. Methods BGC823 cells were treated with different drugs:saline,cisplatin,calycosin and cisplatin combined with calycosin. MTT assays were used to detect the prolif?eration rate of BGC823 cell. Then the protein level and RNA level of cyclin D1,CDK4 and CDK6 were detected by Western blotting and Real?time PCR. Results The proliferation inhibition rates of BGC823 cells treated with 20μg/mL cisplatin,10μg/mL meperoflavone,and combina?tion of the 2 drugs were 56.44%± 2.08%,9.52%± 2.77%and 74.44%± 0.82%,respectively. The inhibition rate of the combination of drugs was significantly higher than that of the single drug treatment group(P<0.05). In addition,we found that calycosin can significantly enhance the inhi?bition of Cyclin D1,CDK4 and CDK6 by cisplatin in protein level and RNA level. Conclusion Calycosin can significantly increase the inhibitory rate of cisplatin on BGC823 cell proliferation,and the combination of the two drugs can reduce the side effects of cisplatin.

Apolipoprotein A5(ApoA5)level and other indices were determined in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy individuals.Compared to control group,ApoA5 level in the diabetic group was lower (P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and results of laryngeal functional preservation surgery for piriform sinus carcinoma with paraglottic space involvement. METHOD: Fourteen cases of piriform sinus carcinoma with paraglottic space involvement were reviewed. Laryngoplasty was performed after tumor was resected, bilater al selective neck dissections were performed at the same stage. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy was applied to 11 patients while the other 3 patients did not receive chemotherapy nor radiotherapy. The follow-up time ranged from 6 months to 5 years, and the mean follow-up time was three and a half years. RESULT: Twelve cases healed primarily while 2 cases experienced delayed heal because of pharyngeal fistula. Postoperative swallow bucking occurred in all patients, the longest gastric feeding time was 2 months. For the patients underwent postoperative chemoradiotherapy, the tumor did not recur in ten cases during the 3 years follow-up, while recurred in another case and the patient died without further treatment. Among those 3 cases without postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the tumor recurred in 2 cases during the following 6 months and chemoradiotherapy was applied, no recurrence presented in one patient, another one lost of follow-up. For the patient with recurred tumor 8 months after surgery, total laryngectomy was employed with postoperative chemoradiotherapy, the case died of tumor recurrence one and half year after the first surgery. The 3-year survival rate was 78.6%. For the vocal cord at lesion side, the mobility was noticeable in 6 patients, and visible anatomic landmark was lost in the other 8 patients. CONCLUSION Laryngeal function preservated surgery could be performed in selected cases of piriform sinus carcinoma with para-glottic space involvement in order to achieve better clinical results and quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the effect of morphine on the growth of subcutaneous tumor of human gastric cancer cells in nude mice.Methods Thirty SPF male BALB/C nude mice,aged 4-5 weeks,weighing 15-20 g,in which the model of subcutaneous tumor of human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 was established,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),normal saline group (group N),and morphine group (group M).The mice in group C received no treatment.Morphine 20 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 14 consecutive days in group M,while normal saline 1.5 ml/kg was given instead of morphine in group N.The caliper was used to measure the tumor size every 2 days starting from 3 days after beginning of administration,and the relative tumor volume was calculated.The nude mice were sacrificed on 15th day,and the tumor tissues were obtained for determination of nuclear factor-kappa B activity and Bcl-2 and Bax protein and mRNA expression by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the relative tumor volume was significantly decreased,the activity of nuclear factor-kappa B in tumor tissues was significantly decreased,the expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA was significantly down-regulated,and the expression of Bax protein and mRNA was significantly up-regulated at each time point in group M (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in each parameter mentioned above in group N (P＞0.05).Conclusion Morphine can inhibit the growth of subcutaneous tumor of human gastric cancer cells in nude mice,and the mechanism is associated with promotion of apoptosis in tumor cells.
