1.Research Progress of Perceptual Learning in Amblyopia Treatment (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2015;21(6):662-665
Amblyopia is a developmental abnormality that results from physiological alterations in the visual cortex and impairs form vision. Based on multimedia, visual perceptual learning was widely applied in amblyopia treatment. Perceptual learning provided an impor-tant new method for treating amblyopia both in children and adults, and it reflects alterations of neural responses in the visual pathway. The therapeutic efficacy of perceptual learning was related to age, amblyopic types and degrees, training time and programs closely.

Objective To study the effect of intracerebroventricular(icv) injectionon acetylcholine(ACh) on the elecric activities of pain-related neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area of rat.Methods Trains of the electric impulses applied to the right sciatic nerve were used as noxious stimuli.The discharges of neurons were led out by extracellular recording method with glass microelectrodes.Results Icv injection of ACh(20?g/10?l) caused an decrease of the evoked discharge frequency of pain-excited neurons(PEN) and a prolongation latency as well as an increase of the evoked discharge of pain-inhibited neurons(PIN) and a shortening of inhibitory duration.Conclusion The response of pain-related neurons in hippocampal CA1 area to the noxious stimulation is weakened by icv injection of ACh,exhibiting analgesic effect.

Objective:To explore the best bathing posture in neo nates.Methods:Normal mature neonates 664 total were randomly seperated into two groups .The bathing posture was the traditional upwards from face to back in the control group,but upwards from back to face in the experimental group .The noise and comfort levels of the neonates were observed.Results:Uncomfortableness in the experimental gr oup was markedly lowerthan in the control group(χ2=45.78,P<0.0001).Bathing style,i.e.in basin or in shower,did not have an effect on the postures (P> 0.05).Conc lusion:The bathing posture of upwards from back to face is better than upwards from face to back.In this position,the neonates feel safer and more comfortable,and can be stroked while being bathed by the neonates' parents.

Objective To study the normal macular thickness in children provide reference for the diagnosis of macular thickness abnormity in teenagers.Methods Databases including Wanfang,Pubmed and some others were searched for studies on macular thickness in Asian children.Data of macular thickness were extracted and were merged into only one by formulae.Results 12 studies were enrolled.The mean foveal minimum and central macular thickness were 143.89±17.32μm(n=2062 eyes) and 181.60±17.93μm(n=1974 eyes),respectively.The eight areas of inner circle (1~3mm diameter) and the outer circle (3~6mm diameter) macular thickness were also calculated.The central macular area seemed thicker in pre-school children than school children.Conclusion Chidren's macular thickness have different characteristic from adults',so it is important to take age,refraction,axial length,race and sex into account before making an abnormal macular thickness diagnosis.Meanwhile,a large sample of population-based cross-sectional study in children is necessary for a more effective standard.

To explore an easily executive and conveniently generalized method with effectiveness and low costing for myopia screening at the early stage.Research was performed to testify the reasonability of using axial length/corneal radius (AL/CR) for myopia screening in children by comparing the cost between AL/CR plus vision acuity (VA) and simple VA examination.Chinese school-aged children in Yangfang school district,Beijing (n=1427,aged 6~12 years old) were randomly grouped for either pure VA examination or for VA plus AL/CR examination.Those suspicious myopic children were informed for further refractive examination.Finally,the cost from screening to definite diagnosis of refractive error was calculated.Generally,compared with VA examination,the total cost was reduced by 15.12% and by 12.34%,respectively,in the elder group using VA plus AL/CR examination.VA plus AL/CR examination is an economical and reasonable method for screening suspicious myopia in Chinese school-aged children compared with pure VA examination.

Objective To investigate the effects of changes of miR-126 and spouty related EVH,domain containing proteinl(SPRED1) after transient ischemic attack(TIA)on prognostic value for pathogenesis of secondary cerebral infarction.Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 106 patients with TIA was performed.The expression levels of miR-126,SPRED1 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in peripheral blood were detected at 3 h,6 h and 12 h after TIA onset respectively.The specificity and sensitivity of miR 126 and SPRED1 in the diagnosis of TIA were analyzed.The miR-126 and SPRED1 levels versus ABCD2 score were compared for evaluating their predictive value in the diagnosis of secondary cerebral infarction within 30 days after TIA onset.Results The miR-126 level was declined after TIA onset at 3 h(9.41±1.04),especially at 12 h(6.59 ±2.78),versus in healthy control (9.35±1.76)(t =-7.764,P=0.000).The SPRED1 level after TIA onset was increased at 3 h(58.05 ± 17.53)pg/L,12 h(82.64 ± 18.60)pg/L versus in healthy control(52.38 ± 13.24)pg/L(t=12.374,P =0.000).A closely negative correlation was found between levels of miR 126 and SPRED1 at 12 h point but not at 3 h and 6 h(r=-0.278,P=0.004).Both miR-126 and SPRED1 levels at 12 h after TIA were implied to sensitivity and specificity evaluation.Additionally,VEGF was significantly increased at 3 h (345.61 ± 76.76) pg/L,6 h (461.65 ±103.87)pg/L and 12 h (519.22 ± 103.55)pg/L after TIA onset as compared with healthy control (107.77± 26.04) pg/L(t =26.569,29.756,34.699,all P =0.000).The decrease of miR-126 and increase of SPRED1 at 12h after TIA indicated high incidences of cerebral infarction but their significance was less than ABCD2 score.Combination of miR 126,SPRED1 and ABCD2 score significantly improved the prediction for cerebral infarction(Z=2.105,P =0.035).Conclusions After the onset of TIA,levels of miR-126 and SPRED1 expression in combination of ABCD2 score can improve predictive value for cerebral infarction development.
