AIM: To retrospectively analyze the effect of different surgical treatment on intraocular foreign bodies, according to different types and position.
METHODS: Clinical data of 46 cases diagnosed with intraocular foreign bodies from June 2010 to April 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS:Intraocular foreign bodies in anterior segment could be removed or magnetically attracted directly, intraocular foreign bodies in posterior segment could be attracted if there was accurate location. Vitrectomis was more favorable for the non magnetic or intraocular foreign bodies in posterior segment. In 46 cases, all intraocular foreign bodies ( 100%) in posterior segment were removed successfully. Among them the functional cure in 33 cases ( 72%) , the anatomical cure in 12 cases ( 26%) , discharged in 1 case (2%).
CONCLUSION:The aim of operation is to reconstruct of eyeball structure preserve and restore visual function. We should find more appropriate mode of operation and timing of surgery according to the foreign bodies'different types and injury of eyeball, reduce complications, preservation eyeball and improve visual function.

Objective To evaluate the effect of isoflurane on the expression of phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (p-GSK-3β) and β-catenin in neural stem cells (NSCs) in the hippocampus of developing rats.Methods Twenty-four 7-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 15-20 g,were divided into 2 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and 2％ isoflurane group (group Ⅰ).Group C inhaled 30％ oxygen for 4 h.Group Ⅰ inhaled 2％ isoflurane in 30％ oxygen for 4 h.Six rats were randomly selected from each group,and 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) 200 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected immediately before anesthesia to assess the proliferation of NSCs in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.The rats were sacrificed at 6 h after the end of anesthesia,and hippocampi were isolated for determination of the number of BrdU positive cells in the dentate gyrus (by immunohistochemistry) and expression of p-GSK-3β and β-catenin in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot analysis).Results Compared with group C,the number of BrdU positive cells was significantly decreased,and the expression of p-GSK-3β and β-catenin was down-regulated in group Ⅰ (P＜0.05).Conclusion Isoflurane can inhibit the proliferation of NSCs in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of developing rats,and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of the expression of p-GSK-3β and β-catenin.

Guangxi COFCO innovates its annual 200 000 ton cassava ethanol production in recent years. To evaluate the energy input/output of the production process, we used the domestic life cycle model. The calculation results show that the net energy value was 9.56 MJ/L ethanol. Energy input for ethanol production was 51.3% of the total. 61.5% of energy input for ethanol production was used for steam input in ethanol distillation. Energy produced from by-product was 5.03 MJ/L ethanol. Hence, efficient use of raw materials is an important measure to improve the energy efficiency in Guangxi COFCO and energy compensation from byproducts has key impact on the net energy saving.
