AIM: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification and small incision non -phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and provide better options for clinical cataract treatment.
METHODS: According to the different operation methods, 98 cases of simple senile cataract patients in our hospital were divided into control group and treatment group, 49 cases in each. The control group received ultrasonic emulsification operation treatment; treatment group were treated by small incision non -phacoemulsification. Visual acuity, astigmatism values, average operation time, and complications were compared between two groups before and after operation.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in preoperative corneal astigmatism values of two groups at 3mo between two groups (P>0. 05). On other times, vision and corneal astigmatism were obviously better than those before operation (P<0. 05). The average vision, corneal astigmatism values and complications incidence of two group at operation time and different postoperative time had no statistical difference (P>0. 05). When the lens nucleus hardness was at Ⅰ~Ⅲ level, corneal endothelial cell count of two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). When the lens nucleus hardness was at Ⅳ ~ Ⅴlevel, there was statistical difference (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery has the similarly efficacy compared with phacoemulsification. It should be based on the actual situation of the hardness of nuclear to select the appropriate surgical treatment.

OBJECTIVE To study the distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection(NI) pathogens.METHODS The NI pathogens collected between Jan 2002 and Dec 2008 were completely surveyed and analyzed.RESULTS Totally,9518 samples were cultured to find NI pathogens,in which 6703 NI pathogens were isolated.In the pathogens,G-pathogens occupied 59.5%,G+ cocci 25.0%,and fungi 15.5%.The rate of ESBLs in E.coli was reached to 47.8%,and that in K.pneumoniae was 29.4%;The first two predominant G+ pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus(11.7%) and Enterococcus(5.7%).The rate of MRSA in S.aureus was 78.2%,and that of VRE in Enterococcus was 2.3%,The pathogens of fungus were mainly Candida albicans(10.2%).CONCLUSIONS The G-NI pathogens are markedly increased year by year and become the first important instead of G+ cocci,meanwhile the multiple drug resistance and ESBLs pathogens are also markedly increased.

Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Epidemi-ological studies have shown that intensive glucose control can reduce stroke risks in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the current prospective clinical trials have failed to validate a definite causal relationship between them. This article reviews the clinical trials about the roles of intensive glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke.

Objective To investigate the association between peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count and the carotid intimal-medial thickness (cIMT) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese of suburban area of Shanghai.Methods A total of 2 519 subjects aged 40 years or older from Jiading District,Shanghai were recruited to undergo questionnaire interview,anthropometric measurements,fasting blood sampling,and carotid B-mode ultrasonography.After excluding subjects with biochemical index missing,WBC count ＞ 10× 109/L as well as those with known myocardial infarction,cerebral infarction,coronary heart disease,and those taking lipid-lowing agents,2 239subjects were included in this analysis.Results Increased WBC count was associated with more unfavorable metabolic risk profiles.With the increasing quartiles of WBC count,cIMT were 0.558,0.570,0.573,and 0.587mm respectively(P for trend ＜ 0.01).As compared with participants in the first WBC quartile,the risks of cIMT thickening were increased by 79％,109％ in males and 29％ in females (P＞ 0.05 in females).Multiple linear regression model showed that peripheral WBC count was an independent risk marker for cIMT thickening,especially for neutrophil and monocyte count.Conclusion A high-normal WBC count was significantly associated with cIMT thickening in middle-aged and elderly Chinese of suburban area of Shanghai,especially in males.

Objective:To assess the feasibility and accuracy of real-time three dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) in quantitative evaluation of left ventricular(LV) volume and ejection fraction(EF) in patients with ventricular aneurysm and myocardial infarction.Methods: Twenty-three patients with left ventricular aneurysm combined with myocardial infarction were examined by RT-3DE,two dimensional echocardiography Simpson's method,and M-mode Teichholz method separately.The following parameters: left ventricular end diastolic volume(LVEDV),end systolic volume(ESV),stroke volume(SV) and EF were obtained by each method and the results were compared with those obtained by left ventriculography(LVG).Results: The values of LVEDV,LVESV,SV,and EF determined by RT-3DE showed good correlations with those determined by LVG(r=0.92,0.90,0.88,and 0.91,respectively;P(0.05).) The values of LVEDV,LVESV,SV,and EF determined by Simpson's method also showed good correlations with those determined by LVG(r=0.85,0.87,0.86,0.91,respectively;P

Objective:To evaluate the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) on mitral regurgitation(MR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods: A total of 213 AMI patients were divided into PCI group(n=87,(PCI +) medication) and medication group(n=126,medication) according to the treatments they received.Echocardiographic examination was conducted in patients during admission and 6 months follow-up.Color Doppler was used to determine the degree of MR.Echocardiogram indices included MR degree,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVEDs),left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV),and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF).Results: The overall incidence of MR was 28.6% in 213 patients during admission.The MR incidence in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction was higher than that in patients with other parts of infarction((34.5%) vs 22.3%,P0.05),while the incidence in medication group increased significantly than that during admission(43.7% vs 30.2%,P

Objective To investigate the effects of anti-adhesion treatment and high-strength suture technique on the treatment of extensor tendon rupture by animal experiments and clinical application.Methods Twenty-eight leg-born chickens were randomly divided into four groups(7 each).Double cross suture was applied in group A,while double cross suture combined with sodium hyaluronate spraying in group B,cross-finger-like micro-braided suture in group C,and cross-finger-like micro-braided suture combined with sodium hyaluronate spraying in group D.The animals were sacrificed 6 weeks after operation,morphological,histological and biomechanics were observed and compared among the groups.One hundred and sixteen patients were treated with the surgical method in group D(89 males,27 females,aged 20-55 with an average of 36 years;73 with extensor tendon rupture,38 with strain/chalasis,5 with firearm injuries;56 on back of hand,48 on central slip,12 on lateral fixing chorda;82 with one-stage operation,and 34 with second-stage operation),and then followed-up for 2-5 years to observe the therapeutic effects.Results The repaired tendons in group D was in good contour,most tendon cells arranged regularly in bunches.The maximum load was significantly higher in group D(70.9?5.7N) than in group A(48.4?5.7N),Group B(51.3?3.2N) and Group C(68.3?2.8N,P

Aim To study the analgesic action of oxysophoridine and its effect on the expression of protein kinase C?(PKC?) in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice.Methods Hot plate test was used to observe and analyze the analgesic strength and action position of OSR through iv and icv approaches,immunohistochemistry(SABC) was taken to inspect the expression of PKC? in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice after administrating OSR.Results The foot-licking latencies of mice were prolonged both iv OSR(500、250、125 mg?kg-1)and icv OSR(100,50,25 mg?kg-1)in the hot plate test(P

Objective To investigate the application of statins in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA) in different risk groups,and to identify the factors influencing the compliance of statins. Methods Data were prospectively collected on consecutively encountered ischemic stroke or TIA patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2009 to January 2010.All clinical characteristics and possible factors influencing the compliance of statins were collected; the application of statins was investigated at 3-month follow-up.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used for the analysis of influence factors of the compliance of statins.Results All 369 patients were collected,52.8％ of cases were prescribed statins for therapy during hospitalization.The application rate of statins in accordance with guidelines in high-risk group,extremely high-risk Ⅱ group and extremely high-risk Ⅰ group was 25.0％ (16/64),44.1％ (30/68) and 71.4％ (135/189),respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the statins application during hospitalization was associated with diabetes history ( P =0.032,OR =1.789,95％ CI 1.052-3.043 ) and the presence of carotid vulnerable plaques(P =0.000,OR =5.308,95％ CI 3.340-8.434).The general application rate of statins was 22.3％ (81/363),which was significantly lower than that during hospitalization. The application rate of statins in accordance with guidelines in high-risk group,extremely high-risk Ⅱ group and extremely high-risk Ⅰ group was 9.7％ ( 6/62 ),25.8％ (17/66) and 29.4％ (55/187) respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that good compliance of statins was associated with discharge instructions on statins application ( P =0.000,OR =34.852,95％ CI 14.673-175.452 ). Conclusions The compliance of statins in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and TIA is poor,and there is still a large gap between clinical practice and guidelines; Discharge instructions on statins application increase the compliance of statins.
