AIM: To observe the effect and safety of applying mitomycin C ( MMC ) in laser - assisted subepithelial keratomileusis ( LASEK) for extreme high myopia.
●METHODS:LASEK with 0. 02% MMC was performed in 364 eyes of 182 patients with extreme high myopia and spherical equivalent was-9. 0 to-10. 25 D. All the patients were divided into four groups according to the applying time of MMC. The time in Group l was 10s, in GroupⅡwas 25s, in Group Ⅲ was 40s and 55s in Group lV. Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , residual refraction, Haze, healing time of corneal epithelium, density and variant index of corneal endothelium was examined in these patients and follow-up 6mo.
●RESULTS:At 6mo after surgery, 76. 3%, 94. 0%, 92. 3%and 93. 8% of the patients in Group l, GroupⅡ, GroupⅢ and Group lV respectively achieved the UCVA better than 15/20. There was significant difference of UCVA between Group l and the other three groups (χ2=19. 610, P=0. 000). Proportion of the residual refraction between ± 0. 5D in Group l (78. 8%) was lower than other groups (95. 2% in Group Ⅱ, 93. 3% in Group Ⅲ, and 92. 7% in GroupⅣ) at 6mo and there was significant difference (χ2=16. 329, P=0. 001). Group l had more Haze statistically than the other three groups at 6mo postoperatively ( Hc=50. 110, P=0. 000). The healing time of cornea epithelium seem to be no statistically difference between each group at 6mo (χ2=11. 611, P>0. 05). MMC had no influence on the density of corneal endothelium in each group postoperatively (P>0. 05), there were 3071. 3±284. 4 cells/mm2 in Group l, 3 105. 6 ± 337. 8 cells/mm2 in Group Ⅱ, 2 986. 3 ± 304. 1cells/mm2 in Group Ⅲ and 3 088. 7 ± 372. 5 cells/mm2 in Group lV respectively. The variant index of corneal endothelium calculated in each group at 6mo after surgery was 24. 72 ± 6. 52, 22. 93 ± 6. 74, 24. 38 ± 6. 63 and 23. 14±7. 22 repectively, compare with that preoperatively there were no statistically differences (P>0. 05).
●CONCLUSION: For extreme high myopia LASEK with 0. 02% MMC is effective and safe. The MMC applying time of 25s in LASEK can effectively reduce Haze after surgery and decrease potential complications.

AlM:To make a analysis of visual quality of iris location guided femtosecond laser assisted in situ keratomi ( LASlK) and iris location guided mechanical sub-bowman keratomileusis ( SBK) for high myopia treatment.METHODS:Femtosecond LASlK ( study group ) was performed in 102 eyes of 51 patients with high myopia and 70 eyes of 35 patients were received mechanical SBK ( control group ) from January to October 2013. The spherical refraction of all the patients was from -6. 00 ~-9. 50D. Best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) of the patients was ≥1. 0. Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA), BCVA, thickness of cornea flap, contrast sensitivity function ( CSF ) and senior ocular aberration were examined in these patients and follow-up was 1a.RESULTS: At 1a after surgery 94. 1% UCVA in study group reached ≥1. 0 and there was 94. 3% in control group. There was no significant difference between two groups (P>0. 05). Residual refraction of study group was-0. 08±0. 10 D and control group was -0. 10±0. 07 D. There was no significant difference of residual refraction between two groups (P>0. 05). C12 , C8 of senior ocular aberration and RMSH in study group was less than control group, amplification:0.1642±0.0519 and 0.2229±0.0382 (t=8. 077, P<0. 05), while C7 was equal in two groups:0. 1583 ±0.1921 and 0. 1436±0. 1536 (t=0. 556, P>0. 05). C8 was 0. 0950±0. 069 and 0. 1858±0. 095 (t=7. 261, P<0. 05). RMSh was 0. 3711 ± 0. 0847 and 0. 5622 ± 0. 1033 ( t= 12. 801, P<0. 05). CSF was no significant difference between study group and control group (P>0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Femtosecond LASlK and mechanical SBK is effective for high myopia. Compared to mechanical SBK, femtosecond LASlK shows more advantages in the senior ocular aberration and visual quality. The cornea flap is more regular from central to peripheral area with femtosecond laser.

Objective To investigate the different distribution of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and CD8+T cells in the local immune microenvironment of mucosal malignant melanoma and cutaneous malignant melanoma, and analyze the relationship between the two indicators and the prognosis of patients. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining was used to assess the ex?pression of Foxp3+Tregs and CD8+T cells in tumor microenvironment of 58 patients with malignant melanoma. The correlation between two factors, clinicopathological characteristics, and prognosis were analyzed. Results There is no correlation be?tween the expression of Foxp3 and CD8. The number of Foxp3+Tregs was significantly higher in mucosa malignant melanoma than that in cutaneous malignant melanoma (t=2.648, P=0.011). The proportion of Foxp3highTregs was significantly higher in pa?tients with tumor diameter≥3 cm, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis than that in patients with tumor diameter<3 cm, no lymph node metastasis and no distant metastasis (P<0.05). In addition, in patients with ulceration that proportion was significantly higher in CD8high group than that in patients without ulceration (33.3%vs 5.9%, P<0.05). The median progres?sion-free surial (PFS) was 12 months in Foxp3high group, which was significantly longer than that of Foxp3low group (31 months, P<0.05). The median PFS was significantly higher in CD8high group (25 months) than that of CD8low group (12 months, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that the median PFS was 7 months in Foxp3high CD8low group, which was significantly lower than that of Foxp3highCD8high group (25 months) and Foxp3lowCD8low group (18 months, P=0.003). Univariate analysis showed that median PFS was different in patients with different tumor location, different number of Foxp3+Treg, different number of CD8+T cells, and distant metastases. Conclusion The number of Tregs is closely associated with metastasis in patients with malig?nant melanoma. Compared with cutaneous malignant melanoma, our results indicate that the poor prognosis of mucosal malig?nant melanoma may be associated with the infiltration of more Tregs.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of ST elevation and non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) related with left circumflex artery (LCX) occlusion. Methods: Clinical data of 86 consecutively enrolled patients with LCX occlusion -related AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively analyzed. According to manifestations of electrocardiography, the patients were divided into ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group (n=32) and non STEMI (NSTEMI) group (n=54). Clinical features and prognosis were compared between two groups. Results: Compared with NSTEMI group, there were significant increase in serum level of creatinine [(80±23) μmmol/L vs. (100±30) μmmol/L], in rates of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation （IABP）support (3.7% vs. 18.8%), usage of invasive respiratory machine (1.9% vs. 15.6%), ischemic mitral reflux (13.0% vs. 40.6%), complete atrioventricular block (0 vs. 9.4%), proportion of left coronary artery dominant type (7.4% vs. 28.1%) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter [LVEDd,（46±4）mm vs.（48±5）mm?]; And significant decrease in percentage of triple-vessel coronary disease (72.2% vs. 46.9%) in STEMI group, P<0.05 or <0.01. There was no significant difference in mortality rate during admission (3.1% vs. 0, P>0.05) between STEMI group and NSTEMI group. Conclusions: Compared with patients with NSTEMI, patients with STEMI have poorer heart function in patients with left circumflex artery occlusion, which may be related to more left coronary dominance.

Through scale-up cultivation of Eriobotrya japonica suspension cells using WAVE bioreactor, the cell growth and ursolic acid (UA) accumulation were studied. The comparison test was carried out in the flask and the reactor with cell dry weight (DW) and UA content as evaluation indexes. The culture medium, DW and UA content were compared in 1 L and 5 L working volumes of bioreactor. The orthogonal test with main actors of inoculation amount, speed and angle of rotation was developed to find the optimal combination, in 1 L working volume of bioreactor. DW of the cell growth and the UA content in bioreactor were higher than those of the shaker by 105.5% and 27.65% respectively. In bioreactor, the dynamic changes of elements in the fluid culture, the dry weight of the cell growth and the UA content in 1 L and 5 L working volumes were similar. Inoculation of 80 g, rotational speed of 26 r · min(-1), and angle of 6 ° was the optimal combination, and the cell biomass of 19.01 g · L(-1) and the UA content of 27.750 mg · g(-1) were achieved after 100 h cultivation in 1 L working volume of bioreactor. WAVE Bioreactor is more suitable than flasks for the E. japonica cell suspension culture, and culture parameters can be achieved from 1 L to 5 L amplification.
