Objective:To observe the lens zonule infrastructure changes in experimental myopia. Methods; The eye lids were sutured to induce the myopia in guinea pigs and the zonule ultrastructure changes were observed. Results: There were significant differences in the eye axial length and diopter between lid-sutured eyes and controls(P

The compressive strength of the original bone tissue was tested, based on the raw human thigh bone, bovine bone, pig bone and goat bone. The four different bone-like apatites were prepared by calcining the raw bones at 800 degrees C for 8 hours to remove organic components. The comparison of composition and structure of bone-like apatite from different bone sources was carried out with a composition and structure test. The results indicated that the compressive strength of goat bone was similar to that of human thigh bone, reached (135.00 +/- 7.84) MPa; Infrared spectrum (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results showed that the bone-like apatite from goat bone was much closer to the structure and phase composition of bone-like apatite of human bones. Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) test results showed that the content of trace elements of bone-like apatite from goat bone was closer to that of apatite of human bone. Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) results showed that the Ca/P value of bone-like apatite from goat bone was also close to that of human bone, ranged to 1.73 +/- 0.033. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) patterns indicated that the macrographs of the apatite from human bone and that of goat bone were much similar to each other. Considering all the results above, it could be concluded that the goat bone-like apatite is much similar to that of human bone. It can be used as a potential natural bioceramic material in terms of material properties.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of systemic sclerosis( SSc)patients with pulmonary hypertension(PAH)ane its treatment approach ane prognosis. Methods The clinical information of 16 SSc patients with PAH(PAH group)were recoreee. Seventy-four SSc without PAH were servee as no-PAH group. Patients in PAH group were given the basic therapy inclueing oxygen therapy,anticoagulants,careiac, eiuretic,anti-rheumatic,pulmonary vasoeilator therapy. Results The rate of antinuclear antiboey in PAH ane non-PAH group were 87. 5%(14 / 16)ane 75. 7%(56 / 74),ane the eifference was statistically significant(P= 0. 508). Serum albumin,erythrocyte seeimentation rate at 1 h in PAH group were(32. 6 ± 4. 6)g/ L ane (48. 4 ± 29. 4)mm/ 1 h. The rate of acral lesion proteinuria,hematuria,ECG abnormal rate were 62. 5%(10 / 16),62. 5%(10 / 16),43. 8%(7 / 16),62. 5%(10 / 16)respectively in PAH group. Serum albumin, erythrocyte seeimentation rate at 1 h in PAH group were(35. 6 ± 5. 0)g/ L ane(31. 3 ± 26. 3)mm/ 1 h in non-PAH group. The rate of acral lesions,proteinuria,hematuria,ECG abnormal rate were 31. 1%(23 / 74),27. 0%(20 / 74),12. 2%(9 / 74),9. 5%( 7 / 74 ) respectively in non-PAH group. The eifferences were significant between in terms of all above ineices(P = 0. 033,0. 041,0. 018,0. 006,0. 003,0. 000). During follow-up,the eisease was in stable in 74 case of non-PAH. Among 16 case with PAH,1 mile case was lost,1 case with severe PAH eiee of severe pneumonia,pulmonary hypertension,right ventricular failure,respiratory failure,3 mile patient with PAH were with eevelopment of primary eisease ane the rest 11 cases of PAH patients were with lower interstitial lung eisease than that of the previous eetectee by chest HRCT. Oppler echocareiography measurement of pulmonary artery systolic pressure was(48. 9 ± 2. 4)mmHg before treatment ane then reeucee to(31. 5 ± 4. 5)mmHg in rest 11 cases(t = 22. 27;P = 0. 001)measuree by Doppler echocareiography. Careiac function was improvee euring followee up ane no other aeverse reactions were seen. Conclusion SSc patients merge multiple PAH show it associate with other organ eamage,ane has a poor prognosis. Early careiac Doppler ultrasoune shoule be performee in oreer to get early eiagnosis ane treatment. Treatment approaches shoule be targetee at the primary eisease ane incentives such as pulmonary besiee oxygen therapy,eiuretics,careiac ane anticoagulant erugs in oreer to improve prognosis.

With increasing age, more and more patients with posterior chamber intraocular lens (ICL) implantation are facing the threat of cataracts to their visual acuity.When examining the eyes of cataract patients after ICL surgery, attention should be paid to whether the density of corneal endothelial cells is greater than 2 000 cells/mm 2, the state of the anterior chamber angle, and whether there are fundus abnormalities such as retinal detachment and choroidal neovascularization.When conducting eye biometry measurement, attention should be paid to the measurement starting and ending lines of anterior chamber depth and lens thickness.If patients undergo ICL combined with corneal refractive surgery, they should be examined with two or more devices to obtain corneal refractive power according to the examination requirements after corneal laser vision correction.When selecting the type of intraocular lens, consideration should be given to the histological characteristics of high myopia.Compared to C- and L- loops, plate-haptic is relatively more stable in patients with high myopia accompanied by large capsules and larger diameters of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis.Kane, Barrett Universal Ⅱ, Olsen, Hill-RBF formulas for calculating the refractive power of intraocular lenses are more accurate in people with long axial length.It is recommended to perform ICL removal simultaneously with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, preferably with a surgical incision greater than 2.6 mm.Femtosecond laser assisted cataract extraction surgery, although superior to traditional phacoemulsification in reducing corneal endothelial cell loss, reducing corneal edema, and high-quality capsulorhexis, can cause incomplete capsulorhexis and fragmentation due to the cavitation bubbles, manual adjustment of location, and the impact of lower vault.It is recommended to use it with caution.Ophthalmologists should fully understand and pay attention to the characteristics and difficulties of cataract surgery after ICL surgery, communicate fully with patients, and make personalized surgery to achieve better visual outcomes.
