This study provides the candidate sequences in the identification of Radix et Rhizoma Clematidis and its adulterants using DNA barcoding. We amplified and sequenced the region psbA-trnH, with the data of 284 sequences from GenBank, the differential intra- and inter-specific divergences, genetic distance, barcoding gap were used to evaluate five barcodes, and the identification efficiency was assessed using BLAST1 and Nearest Distance methods. The results showed that psbA-trnH barcodes performed high identification efficiency and inter-specific divergences among the five different DNA barcodes. Analysis of the barcoding gap and NJ tree showed psbA-trnH was superior to other barcodes. Based on the identification and PCR amplification efficiency, psbA-trnH can be the ideal barcode to identify Radix et Rhizoma Clematidis and its adulterants accurately.

Background Congenital nystagmus is a common disease threatening visual function.The clinical description of congenital nystagmus is still not enough now. Objective The aim of this study was to report the motor and sensory characteristics of congenital nystagmus. Methods A retrospective clinical case analysis was designed.The clinical data of 376 patients with congenital nystagmus were collected.These patients were diagnosed in Henan Eye Institute from January,2005 to August,2011.The clinical characteristics of patients,including age,pedigree analysis,nystagmus classification,ocular alignment,visual acuity,refractive error,stereoacuity and oscillopia,was summarized.Informed consent from all patients and custodian were obtained. Results The age distribution of most patients was >5-10 years and > 15-20 years,with the percentage 24.73% and 24.20%,respectively.Of 376 patients,sensory defect nystagmus was 172 cases,and that of motor sensory defect was 204 cases.The most common inheritance pattern was autosomal dominant.Conjugate uniplanar horizontal oscillations were found in 73.94%patients,and strabismus was found in 66.36% in this study.Sensory defected subjects did not show a statistically significantly higher strabismus incidence when compared with the idiopaths (x2 =3.048,P =0.081 ).The binocular distance vision in all the subjects was declined in comparison with normal eyes,the best corrected vision was 0.27 ±0.11 and 0.50± 0.13 in sensory defected nystagmus and idiopaths nystagmus respectively,showing a significant difference( t =16.495,P =0.000 ).The incidence of refractive error in this study was 77.62%.Incidence of astigmatism(75.17% ) was higher than that of myopia and hyperopia ( 39.03% and 36.12% ).No significant difference was seen in refractive error incidence between the sensory defected and the idiopaths (x2 =1.337,P =0.248).Patients of 65.18% displayed non-stereoacuity or very gross acuity levels (3000) in this study,and the patients with idiopathic nystagmus showed better stereoacuity level in comparison with sensory defected ones (x2 =7.058,P =0.008 ).Five of 313 patients existed experienced oscilopla under binocular viewing conditions.Conclusions Autosomal dominant inheritance is the most common pattern of congenital nystagmus.Conjugate uniplanar horizontal oscillation is thought to be a common type of nystagmus.Incidence of strabismus is higher,and visual acuity and stereoaeuity are worse in congenital nystagmus than in common population.Oscillopia is seldom found in congenital nystagmus.

AIM: To investigate the clinical characteristics, surgical outcome and curative effect of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles ( CFEOM) .
METHODS: The eye exam of members in a Chinese family with CFEOM includes visual acuity, intraocular pressure, dilated fundus exam, extraocular muscle function test, orbital CT scan, and ultrasound. We did extraocular muscle surgery or frontalis suspension procedure for affected subjects in the family.
RESULTS: The incidence of CFEOM in this family was 31%. All patients were affected bilateraly with symptom of congenital eye movement disorder, ptosis, hypotropia, perverted convergence on upgaze and chin up head position. As the age grows, the diseases worsen unobviously. No other systemic disorder was found. Surgical treatment improved the anomalous head position although the ocular movement disorder preserved.
CONCLUSION: The pattern of inheritance in our serial patients are autosomal dominant. Surgery can improve chin up head position and cosmetic appearance. However, the eye movement deficiency cannot be improved.
