AIM: To compare the effect of treating cataract by sodium hyaluronate injection and lens - loop nucleus extraction of small incision cataract excision and explore more suitable method to promote the use of surgery in primary hospital.
METHODS: All 146 cataract patients ( 166 eyes ) were allocated to two groups in random: the control group 78 patients ( 84 eyes ) received conventional lens loop for extracapsular cataract extraction;the experiment group 68 patients (82 eyes) underwent nucleus extraction in small incision with sodium hyaluronate injection for extracapsular cataract extraction. Postoperative visual acuity and intraoperative and postoperative complications were compared between two groups.
RESULTS: Incidence of posterior capsule rupture difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05) in small incision nucleus extraction with sodium hyaluronate injection compared with conventional lens loop for extracapsular cataract extraction. And there was no significant difference ( P> 0. 05 ) in postoperative visual acuity, astigmatism degree and postoperative complications compared with those of pre-operation.
CONCLUSION: Compared with the lens loop nucleus extraction, sodium hyaluronate injection for extracapsular cataract extraction can effectively protect the posterior lens capsule and can be promoted in small incision cataract surgery.

Background Brn-3a is a newly discovered specificity marker for retina ganglion cells(RGCs).It is well-known that RGCs damage is a important pathological basis of hypertension-visual disorder.But the study concerning expression of Brn-3a in RGCs in glaucoma eye is still rately.Objective The purpose of this work was to investigate the changes of Brn-3a expression in model eye with chronic high intraocular pressure(IOP) and its relation with morphology of retina and the expression of Brn-3a in chronic ocular hypertension rats.Methods Thirty-five clean adult SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group(5 rats) and model group(30 rats).Experimental chronic ocular hypertension models were induced unilaterally in the left eyes of 30 health adult SD rats by cauterizing super-scleral veins,and the conjunctival incision was made in the right eyes as sham operative group.The operated rats were subdivided into 6 groups according to the examination time points and 6 rats for each group.IOP was measured with Tono-Pen tonometer before and after 30 minutes,1,3,7,14,28 day after surgery respectively.The rat models were sacrificed in 1,3,5,7,14,28 days after operation by excessive anesthesia method,and retinal section was prepared for the histopathological examination and the RGCs were counted using Nissl staining method.Expression of Brn-3a in RGCs was detected by immunohistochemistry.This experimental complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The IOP was significantly raised from 30 minutes to 28 days after operation in model eyes with the top IOP( 34.46±4.65 )mmHg in the 30 minutes after operation,showing statistically significant differences in various time groups ( F =95.631,P =0.001 ) and different eyes ( F =287.473,P =0.001 ).Compared with sham operative group,the IOP were elevated from 1 day through 14 days after operation ( q =18.418,15.261,10.987,6.931,4.975,2.962,P ＜ 0.05 ).The numbers of RGCs were ( 29.08 ± 1.98 ) in the normal control group and decreased gradually by 3.17％,7.84％,14.60％,22.40％ in 1,7,14,28 day after surgery in the model eyes with the considerable differences in comparison with normal eyes ( t =5.943,8.034,15.023,17.004,19.371,P ＜ 0.05 ).Immunochemistry revealed that Brn-3a was specially expressed in the RGCs layer and the positive RGCs for Brn-3a were evidently decreased as the prolong of high IOP duration ( F =127.583,P =0.000 ).Conclusions Chronic glaucoma model can be successfully established using Shareef-Sharma method.The loss of RGCs is associated with the high lOP duration.The expression level of Brn-3a is a reliable index of high-IOP-induced damage of optical nurve.

Objective To analyze the clinical effect of atorvastatin combined with conventional cardiovascu-lar drugs therapy in treatment of coronary heart disease.Methods 200 patients with coronary heart disease were col-lected.They were randomly divided into the observation group(n =100)and control group(n =100).The observation group was given atorvastatin combined with cardiovascular routine treatment for 1 year,the control group was given cardiovascular routine therapy for 1 year.The clinical effect and serum levels of TC,HDL -C,LDL -C were ana-lyzed.Results After treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 95%,which was significantly higher than 75% of the control group (χ2 =16.33,P =0.00 <0.05).According to the gender stratification,the effec-tive rates of the observation group were higher than the control group in men and women (men:96% vs 80%,χ2 =6.35,P =0.04 <0.05,women:94% vs 70%,χ2 =10.08,P =0.00 <0.05).Before treatment,there were no signifi-cant differences between the two group about the serum levels of TC,HDL -C,LDL -C[TC:(6.49 ±0.42)mmol/L vs (6.53 ±0.51)mmol/L,t =1.28,P =0.10 >0.05;HDL -C:(1.35 ±0.23)mmol/L vs (1.29 ±0.32)mmol/L, t =1.51,P =0.15 >0.05;LDL -C:(4.54 ±0.62)mmol/L vs (4.48 ±0.61)mmol/L,t =0.84,P =0.20 >0.05]. After treatment,the serum levels of TC,HDL -C,LDL -C of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group[TC:(3.39 ±0.31)mmol/L vs (5.78 ±0.64)mmol/L,t =2.36,P =0.02 <0.05;HDL -C:(1.63 ±0.42)mmol/L vs (1.32 ±0.51)mmol/L,t =2.87,P =0.00 <0.05;LDL -C:(2.37 ±0.42)mmol/L vs (3.95 ±0.43)mmol/L,t =2.62,P =0.01 <0.05].Conclusion Atorvastatin can reduce blood fat,improve the prognosis of disease,it is superior to the traditional treatment.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.Methods:Eighty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome were randomly divided into two groups with 40 patients in each group ( n=40). In the course of the treatment, 2 patients in each group dropped out, which means 38 patients in each group were included. All patients were instructed to actively control blood glucose The control group was given Mecobalamin tablets orally, while the treatment group was given electroacupuncture of Daling and Neiguan on the affected side based onthe control group for 6 weeks. The degree of pain was assessed by VAS, and the severity of clinical symptoms was assessed by the symptom scale of Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire (BCTQ). The sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV), the amplitude of sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) and the distal motor latency (DML) were detected by EMG evoked potential instrument. The clinical efficacy was evaluated and adverse events were recorded. Results:The total effective rate was 81.6% (31/38) in the treatment group and 60.5% (23/38) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.094, P=0.024). After the treatment, the scores of VAS and BCTQ in the treatment group were lower than those of the control group ( t=2.639, 2.790, P=0.010, 0.007); DML (3.62 ± 0.19 ms vs. 4.00 ± 0.17 ms, t=68.891) in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01), while SCV (47.36 ± 0.18 m/s vs. 42.34 ± 0.14 m/s, t=97.163) and SNAP (14.74 ± 0.18 μV vs. 12.10 ± 0.16 μV, t=51.434) in the treatment group were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.01). During the treatment, no serious adverse events occurred in two groups. Conclusions:Electroacupuncture is safe and effective in the treatment of mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome with type 2 diabetes. It can reduce the degree of pain and improve the symptoms of wrist joint.
