The characteristics of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) include sudden decline of visual acuity, sector-shaped visual field defect connected with the physiological blind spot or hemi-visual field defect, and optic disc edema. Early angiographic abnormalities of optic disc and peripapillary choroidal circulation are important cues for the diagnosis. Angiography combined with visual field test can make the diagnosis more accurate. The pathological mechanism and process of NAION and ischemic cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease are essentially the same. There are several critical issues in this field we need focus on, including strengthening the cooperation with relevant professional disciplines; improving the ocular ischemia through drugs, intervention and other means; preventing more serious cardiovascular events and intervening in a number of high-risk populations to reduce the incidence of AION.

AIM:To analyse the risk factors of age, sex, course, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),diopter and fundus features of high myopes with progressive high myopia. METHODS: A total of 167 patients with high myopes were categorized into four groups: group 1,age of 29 years or younger; group 2,between the age of 30 to 49 years; group 3,between the age of 50 to 69 years and group 4,age of 70 years or older. The refractive errors of all patients were measured without cycloplegia with an autorefractometer. Data of the spherical equivalent(SE) of the refractive errors in diopters (D)and fundus examed by direct ophthalmoscope were used in statistical analyses.RESULTS: The number of female was statistically larger than that of male(P＜0.01),also the disease course was correlated to the age. The visual acuity of high myopes significantly decreased as they grew older including the higher incidence of lacquer cracker, submacular hemorrhage, Fuchs spots, chorioretinal atrophy . CONCLUSION: Female maybe a risk factor of high myopia, advanced age is an important factor of visual acuity decrease. High myopes ought to be treated early to delay the progress of myopia and development of macular degeneration.

BACKGROUND:Anterior cruciate ligament is the important anatomic structure to maintain the knee joint stability. The tendon bone healing and clinical functional recovery after anterior cruciate ligament have attracted more attention. OBJECTIVE:To observe the healing of graft tendon and surrounding bone with histological method through the same diameter grafts matching with the bone tunnel of different sizes in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, and to detect the functional recovery with biomechanics. METHODS:Middle 1/3 of canine autologous tendon was selected as the anterior cruciate ligament graft, and then trimmed into the same diameter of 4 mm. Sixteen adult mongrel canine were randomly divided into four groups. The anterior cruciate ligament was resected completely, and the tibial and femoral tunnels were prepared on the end sites of tibia and femur with the diameters of 5, 4.5, 4 and 3.5 mm, then implanted into the tendon in prepared and linked into the bone tunnel. At 6 weeks after reconstruction, the experimental canine were sacrificed under general anesthesia to col ect the tissue and organs in the surgical area. Then the hematoxylin-eosin staining, biomechanical testing and statistical analysis were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 6 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, anatomical observation showed that there were no significant differences in growth of grafts and bone tunnels between groups;hematoxylin-eosin staining showed sharpey-like fibronectin could be seen in the tendon bone healing surface, and the col agen fibers in the 3.5 mm bone tunnel group were more compact and regular than those in the other groups;the biomechanical testing results in the 3.5 mm bone tunnel group were better than those in the other groups. The results indicate that during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, decreasing the diameter of bone tunnel that matched with grafts in order to make the tendon and the bone tunnel closely matched can provide a more stable cel biological and mechanical environment, accelerate the formation and transformation of tendon-bone healing interface, and can improve the quality of tendon-bone healing.

Objective To study knowledge,ability and related behavior of reproductive health among unmarried women migrants in Qingdao area,Shandong and evaluate effectiveness of basic intervention,including provision of free condom and health education and enhanced intervention,including healthy sex,contraception and health-care seeking behavior.Methods A community intervention trial was conducted among 1800 unmarried women migrants aged 18 -29 years in 10 workplaces of Qingdao.Basic intervention included health knowledge publicity and distribution of free condoms,and enhanced intervention included distribution of very important person (VIP) service cards,hotline telephone service,broadcasting digital versatile disc (DVD) of reproductive health knowledge,health lectures,peer education,and so on,in addition to health knowledge publicity and distribution of free condoms.Effectiveness was evaluated using questionnaire before and six months after intervention.Results After intervention,awareness of reproductive health and attitude to reproductive health improved significantly among the women migrants,as compared to those before intervention,particularly in knowledge of contraception and sexual health with enhanced intervention (with more than 20％ of them aware) ( P ＜ 0.01 ).About effectiveness on health-care seeking behavior,59.2％ (482/814) and 80.8％ (651/806) of the women migrants with reproductive tract infections would visit physicians after basic and enhanced intervention,as compared to those of 32.0％ (286/895) and 31.9％ (275/862) before them,respectively (P＜0.01).About effectiveness on contraceptive behavior,persistent and proper use of effective contraception methods improved significantly after intervention,as compared to that before it ( P ＜ 0.05 ),but with no significant difference between the two group with basic and enhanced intervention.Conclusions Both basic and enhanced intervention is effective and feasible in women migrants,more effective for enhanced one.
