Objective To compare the safety,effectiveness and predictability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with fem- tosecond laser (IntraLase) and mechanical microkeratome (Moria M2,head 90?m).Design Prospective clinical study.Participant 148 patients (274 eyes) with high myopia received operation of LASIK.Method The patients were assigned to receiving LASIK with corneal flap creation by Intralase femtosecond laser (134 eyes of 76 patients) or Moria 90 keratome (140 eyes of 72 patients),both groups receiving eximer laser ablation with VISX Star S4.Followed-up examinations such as visual acuity,refraction,wavefront aberra- tion,etc.were scheduled for 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months postoperatively.Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity,refrac- tion,wavefront aberration,Schirmer test and tear film breakup time(BUT).Results At 3 months after operation,108 eyes (80.6%) of IntraLase group had UCVA better than or equal to BSCVA preoperatively,showing no statistically significant difference to microker- atome group (116 eyes,82.9%,P=0.642).The mean residual spheroequivalent of refraction of IntraLase group was -0.49?0.70D,show- ing no statistically significant difference to microkeratome group (-0.56?0.83D,P=0.448).The mean Schirmer test of Intralase group was 9.5?4.0mm,showing no statistically significant difference to microkeratome group (9.5?7.2mm,P=0.950).The mean BUT of IntraLase group was 7.9?4.3s,showing no statistically significant difference to microkeratome group (8.08?5.48s,P=0.869).The postoperative higher-order aberrations of the IntraLase group was 0.480?0.133?m,lower than that of microkeratome group (0.578?0.169?m,P=0.034). Conclusions Thin-flap LASIK with femtosecond laser and mechanical keratome flap creation are both safe,effective for the correction of high myopia,showing good predictability and stability.Femtosecond laser has slightly better clinical outcomes than microkeratome.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors for eye cyclotorsion and pupil centroid shift during LASIK.Design Non-controlled retrospective case series.Participant 131 patients (262 eyes) with myopia received bilateral LASIK.Methods Eye cy- clotorsion and pupil centroid shift were measured with Custom Vue~(TM) software during operation and compared with age,gender,right or left eye,flap-making method,spherical equivalent (SE),pupil diameter before and during operation.Main Outcome Measures The de- gree of eye cyclotorsion and distance of pupil centroid shift during LASIK.Results The mean eye cyclotorsion during LASIK was 3.07??2.07?(0?-8.6?).The mean pupil centroid shift was 0.33?0.14 mm (0.04-0.51 mm).The eye cyclotorsion was relevant to preoperative pupil size,difference of pupil size before and during operation,and preoperative SE (r=0.188,0.156,0.130,all P7.0 mm was higher than that of with pupil diameter≤7.0mm (3.35??2.17?,2.71??1.89?,P=-0.014).Pupil centroid shift was higher in fight eyes than that in left eyes (0.39?0.12 mm,0.28?0.13 mm,P=0.000).Conclu- sion Eye cyclotorsion and pupil centroid shift during LASIK can be measured with Custom Vue~(TM) system.The eye cyclotorsion may be influenced by the preoperative pupil size.The pupil centroid during LASIK was more significant in the right eyes than in the left eyes.

Objective To study the application of ultracision harmonic scalpel in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods Ten patients with gastric cancer were given laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy by using ultracision harmonic scalpel.Results All operations were successfully performed with ultracision harmonic scalpel,and none of which converted into open surgery.The operation time was 300-492 min,mean(385?64) min.The blood loss was 100-500 ml,mean(401?70) ml.The number of harvested lymph nodes was 21-43,mean 31?6.The time for gastrointestinal function recovery was 3-6 d,mean(4.2?1.0) d.The time of patients' taking out-of-bed activity was 3-7 d,mean(4.5?1.3) d.The time of taking liquid food was 4-6 d,mean(5.0?0.9) d.No case had relapse or metastasis after 4-20 months(mean 12.6 months) of follow-up.Conclusions Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy by using ultracision harmonic scalpel is safe and feasible.Ultracision harmonic scalpel has the advantage of minimal invasion,less bleeding and shorter operation time,which is a very important equipment and useful for laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.

The Hypoglycaemia Symptom Rating Questionnaire (HypoSRQ) is potentially
useful for local research on hypoglycaemia. However, it requires adaptation and
validation in local settings. This study reports the process and results of cross-cultural
adaptation and linguistic validation of HypoSRQ for Malay and English versions in
our local setting. The HypoSRQ underwent forward and backward translation and
adaptation with support from professional translators and a clinical psychologist.
Cognitive debriefing was done among patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
mellitus from varying sociodemographic backgrounds. Discussion was done
together with the original developers of the HypoSRQ to decide on the best version
for local use. The finalised versions were proofread and formatted with the help
of Health Psychology Research. Cognitive debriefing for Malay version involved 7
patients and for the English version5 patients. Direct literal translation into Malay
language was unsuitable due to technical terms which were difficult for laypersons
to understand. Amendments were made based on findings from the cognitive
debriefing process. Participants found the questionnaire fairly easy to understand.
The HypoSRQ-My (Malay) and HypoSRQ-EMy (English) is easily understood by
local participants. These tools may undergo psychometric evaluation for future
use in local settings.

In this paper, a qualitative and quantitative analysis method was established for the scopoletin in herba Artemisiae hedinii hy HPLC. The chromatographic column was Agilent TC-C18 (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5μm);the tem-perature of column was 30℃, eluted with a mobile phase consisted of methanol and 0.3%phosphoric acid solution and gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The detection wavelength was 344 nm. The results showed that the mass concentration and peak area of scopoletin had a good linear relationship within the range of measurement (r=0.999 9). The reproducibility was good;and the RSD was 1.51%. The average sample recovery rate was 101.42%. It was concluded that the established method was stable, reliable and simple. It provided theoretical evidences for the quality evaluation and quality control of herba A. hedinii.

Objective:To investigate the optimal administration approach of using aspirin by observing the effects of the rats in-testinal mucosal barrier and somatostatin receptors level with different administration approaches of using non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs-aspirin.Methods:32 SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:oral intake group,enema group,intraperitoneal injection group and control group.Every group had 8 rats.The ileum mucosal injury was scored.The level and distribution of SSTRs in every group was detected by ELISA and immunohistochemistry, respectively, The IOD score in each group was measured by image analysis.Results:(1) The scores of ileum mucosal injury in aspirin experimental groups were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), but there were no difference among aspirin experimental groups.( 2 ) All subtypes of SSTR were expressed in rat intestinal mucosa.However,SSRT1 and SSTR2 were expressed mainly ( P<0.05 ).( 3 ) The expressions of SSTR1-5 on intestinal mucosa in aspirin experimental groups were significantly less than that in control group (P<0.05).(4) There was incompletely no same effects of SSTR1-5 in intestinal mucosa by different approaches ( P<0.05 ).( 5 ) There were no significant difference of SST concentration and IOD score among all groups ( P>0.05).Conclusion:Aspirin can damage the rat intestinal mucosa.Aspirin could lead to the decrease of SSTR1-5 expression in the intestinal mucosa.All subtypes of SSTR in rat small intestine mucosa were expressed, suggesting that aspirin could affect the barrier function of the intestine.There were different influences on SSTR1-5 expression by different administration approaches,suggesting aspirin by parenteral approach may reduce the intestinal damage.
