AIM:To investigate the effect of the size of cataract surgical incision on original astigmatism and tear film stability of corrected cornea.METHODS: Totally 92 cataract patients (92 eyes) who were admitted to our hospital from July 2014 to July 2016 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,46 cases (46 eyes) in each group.Both groups were treated by clear corneal tunnel incision phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation.The incision of the control group was 3.0mm while of the observation group was 1.8mm.The uncorrected visual acuity,corneal astigmatism,Schirmer I test (SⅠt) and break-up time (BUT) were detected before surgery and at 1d,1wk,1mo and 3mo after surgery.The surgery induced astigmatism (SIA) was recorded at 1d,1wk,1 and 3mo after surgery.RESULTS: There were significant differences in the uncorrected visual acuity between the two groups at 1 and 3mo before surgery (P<0.05),but there were no significant differences at different time points before and after surgery (P>0.05).At 1wk,1 and 3mo after surgery,SIA of two groups decreased continuously,and the SIA of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 1d,1wk and 1mo after surgery (P<0.05).At 1wk after surgery,SⅠt and BUT in the two groups were less or shorter than those before surgery (P<0.05),but there were no significant differences at 1mo,3mo after surgery,compared with those before surgery (P>0.05).SⅠt and BUT in the observation group were less or shorter than those in the control group at 1wk after surgery (P<0.05) but there were no significant differences at 1 and 3mo after surgery (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Compared with 3.0mm standard incision,1.8mm clear corneal incision can reduce SIA and shorten the time for corneal stability recovery.

Objective To explore the alterations of protein phosphatase-2A (PP-2A) in lymphocytes in mild cognition impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods The activity PP-2A of was measured by ~(32)p liquid seintillography for incorporated radioactivity in control group(n=11) , the MCI group(n=11),and the AD group(n=11).The expression of PP-2A was determined by Western blot.Results In the control group,the activity of PP-2A (1.01?0.09) and the expression of PP-2A (0.96?0.07) were high while in the MCI group,the activity of PP-2A (0.71?0.12) and the expression of PP-2A (0.80?0.05) were decreased (both P

Objective To study the cellular immune function in children with kawasaki disease(KD).Methods T lymphocyte subcytes,levels of serum interleukin 2(IL-2) and soluble interleukin 2 receptor(sIL-2R) were determined by APAAP,ELISA met-hods,and a double-antibody “sandwich” enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay respectively in 60 cases.Results During the acute stage of KD,the percentage of CD4 +,the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 +,levels of IL-2 and sIL-2R increased markedly,while the percentage of CD3 + and CD8 + decreased significantly compared with the controls.These changes were more remarkable in patients subsequently developed coronary artery aneurysms than in those with normal appearing coronary artery.Conclusion Marked activation of cellular immune function and immune regulation disorders develop in acute stage of KD patients.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the safety of Polyisobutylene (PIB) Gutong plaster by transdermal administration. METHODS:66 rabbits were randomly divided into a normal group,a group with intact skin and a group with damaged skin. The latter two groups were respectively re-divided into PIB group,the groups of low,medium and high-dose PIB Gutong plaster and Gutong plaster group. An acute toxicity test was conducted on the rabbits,which 14 d of continuous observation was made 24 h af-ter transdermal administration. Another 60 rabbits were divided into several groups as above except for a normal group. A single pri-mary skin irritation test was conducted on them,where skin irritation reactions were recorded 6 h after a single administration based on intra-individual left/right self comparison method. 70 guinea pigs were randomized into a negative control group (vase-line),a PIB group,a positive control group(2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene),a Gutong plaster group and the groups of low,medium and high-dose PIB Gutong plaster,which were dosed for sensitization,followed by a skin sensitization test. RESULTS:No obvi-ous toxicity symptoms could be seen after administration of PIB Gutong plaster. The rabbits’intact or damaged skin had no irrita-tion response to PIB and low and medium-dose PIB Gutong plaster. PIB Gutong plaster caused no irritation response in the rabbits’ intact skin,but slight irritation in damaged skin 1 h after administration. The allergic reaction incidence of the positive control group of guinea pigs was 100% while that of any other groups was 0. CONCLUSIONS:The PIB Gutong plaster is safe for trans-dermal administration.

BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma is an autologous plasma product that is simple and easy to be obtained, and has been widely used in a variety of sports injuries, non-infectious tendon and ligament injuries, nonunion, bone healing, and cartilage repair, because it contains a large number of growth factors that promote tissue healing and soft tissue regeneration. However, its actual effects are uncertain.OBJECTIVE: To introduce the pathophysiological mechanism, preparation and preservation of autologous platelet-rich plasma and to review the research status of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of bone and joint injuries induced by sports.METHODS: A computer retrieval in WanFang, CNKI, and PubMed databases was performed for articles addressing clinical and laboratory reports on autologous platelet-rich plasma for diseases of bone and joint injuries published from 1990 to 2016. Then, we summarized the research status of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of bone and joint diseases and motor system damage.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mechanism of autologous platelet-rich plasma to repair bone and soft tissue injuries is not yet fully understood, and there is still a lot of reasoning and speculation. Moreover, its dose, treatment course, administration route and method of use have not been fully standardized, and there are still no clear guidelines for its clinical use. Autologous platelet -rich plasma has a broad application prospect in the treatment of bone and joint injuries, but it is still in the initial exploratory stage, which needs further observation and summarization to get more powerful evidence. Up to now, there are few samples in the world, in the absence of effective control standards, and long-term large-sample rigorous research is required to reach the final conclusion.

Metabonomics is a new method to study on the metabolic network and the relationship between body and environment, which conforms to the way of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) research. In the study process of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, effectively conjunction with metabonomics method will facilitate the integration of TCM with modern biological science and technology, and promote the modernization of TCM. This paper introduce the application of metabonomics in the research of toxicity mechanism of TCM, compatibility mechanism of TCM formula, pharmacology effect of TCM and processing mechanism of TCM. This paper summarize the problems in the TCM metabonomics research and prospect its bright future.
