International Eye Science 2015;(5):843-845
?AlM: To discuss the artificial tears on the tear film of diabetic patients with dry eye preoperatively, and the influence on the tear film’s fuctional after phacoemulsification.
?METHODS: Fifty-four diabetic patients with dry eye (60 eyes) were followed up before phacoemulsification. Preoperatively, group A ( 30 eyes in 28 cases ) was treated with Hydroxyl lndican eye drops and group B (30 eyes in 26 cases) was not treated. Postoperatively, both group A and B were treated with Tobramycin Dexamethasone eye drops, Oprah Winfrey lbuprofen eye drops and Hydroxyl lndican eye drops. Dry eye symptoms, break up time (BUT), SchirmerItest (SIt), fluorescein stain test ( Fl ) were measured at 3d preoperatively, and 1, 7, 30, 90d postoperatively.
? RESULTS: At 3d preoperatively, there was no statistical differences between the two groups for dry eye symptoms, BUT, S I t, Fl ( P>0. 05 ). At 1 and 7d postoperatively, there were significant statistical differents between the two groups for dry eye symptoms (P<0. 05). And dry eye symptoms scores of group A were less than that of group B. At 1, 7, 30d postoperatively, BUT was longer, FL was less, Slt was increased in group A, with significant statistical differences (all P<0. 05). At 90d postoperatively, two groups of dry eye symptoms, BUT, S I t, Fl had no statistical significance (P>0. 05).
? CONCLUSlON: Using artificial tears before phacoemulsification can improve symptoms of the diabetic patients with dry eye and accelerate the recovery of the tear film.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2017;23(9):1068-1071
Physical activity is limited in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and higher level of physical activity may result in less risk of death, milder depression or ahypnosis, less fatigue and better quality of life. Physical activity may relate with many factors. MHD patients may be benefited from exercise to improve the physical activity, mainly with aerobic exercise and resistance training during hemodialysis. Nurses can do more in health education and direction of exercise for MHD patients.

A PCR assay used for detection and quantification of Neotyphodium lolii in tissues of the grass Lolium perenne L. was developed. Compared with the Microscopic analysis of stained tissues, this method was more accurate. For quantitative applications, real time PCR was used to quantify Neotyphodium lolii in Lolium perenne L.. The results showed that there were some variations between different individuals, but no variance existed between different tillers from the same plant. Thus it can be concluded that fungal content in the plant is not only associated with species/variety specific, but also with the genotype of the host plant as well.

Objective To investigate the effect of melatonin on oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and to explore its mechanisms. Methods 42 patients with moderate to severity chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in stable stage were random-ly divided into melatonin group and control group,and 21 patients in each group treated with melatonin(3 mg/d) or placebo for 3 months respectively. The plasma levels of 8- isoprotane,IL-8,TNF-α,h-CRP pulmonary func-tion,six minutes walking test and MRC dyspnea score before treatment,2 months and 3 months after the treatment were analyzed. Results After 2 months of treatment,compared to placebo groups,melatonin could significantly decrease the concentration of 8-isoprotane(10.40 ± 5.4 vs. 16.92 ± 4.33,P<0.05),and the concentration of IL-8 (6.88 ± 2.37 vs. 11.33 ± 3.39,P < 0.05). After 3 months of treatment,compared to placebo groups,melatonin could significantly decrease the concentration of 8-isoprotane(9.40 ± 4.0 vs. 17.92 ± 3.33,P < 0.01),and IL-8 (5.67 ± 3.22 vs. 9.31 ± 3.23,P < 0.05). Compared with before treatment,melatonin could significantly de-creased the concentration of 8-isoprotane(9.40 ± 4.0 vs. 20.40 ± 8.4,P<0.01 )and IL-8(5.67 ± 3.22 vs. 12.33 ± 3.88,P<0.05)after 3 months. Meanwhile,the concentration of the TNF-α(25.83 ± 9.18 vs. 35.83 ± 12.18,P<0.05)and hypersensitive C(1.76 ± 1.18 vs. 3.09 ± 1.79,P < 0.05)reactive protein in the melatonin group was greatly lower than the placebo group. After 3 months,compared to the placebo group,MRC dyspnea score of pa-tients in the group of melatonin was improved significantly(1.56 ± 1.38 vs. 2.09 ± 1.16,P<0.05 ),and lung func-tion and six minutes walk test showed no significant difference between patients in the two groups. Conclusions Exogenous melatonin administration can decrease the concentration of 8-isoprotane,IL-8,TNF-αand h-CRP in the blood of patients with moderate to severe COPD ,and improve the MRC dyspnea score. Melatonin has a significant effect on reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting inflammatory reaction in patients with moderate and severe stage stable COPD,which demonstrates its potential therapeutic value with broad clinical application prospects.
