With the mature of techniques and development of equipments in excimer laser corneal refractive surgery,the postoperative complications are decreasing gradually.As the center of cornea become thin after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)and laser subepithelial keratomileusis ( LASEK ),the strength of cornea and the intraocular pressure relatively step down,which can cause cornea anterior protrusion more or less.Because the posterior surface which is not directly affected by surgical process and healing process,so it is usually used to evaluate the protrusion of cornea.As the application of.ophthalmic anterior segment imaging and analysis system,we can get more message of cornea posterior surface.The manifestation,principle and precautionary measures of corneal posterior surface anterior protrusion after the excimer laser corneal refractive surgery were reviewed.

Objective To study the self-identity and security of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) Methods According to the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorder,Third Edition,63 inpatients and outpatients with OCD and 61 healthy controls were recruited to investigate with self-identity scale(SIS),security questionnaire (SQ),Yale-brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y-BOCS),and self-made questionnaire.Results Compared with controls,patients had lower self-identity (50.81 ± 7.52 vs 55.10 ± 6.86,P ＜ 0.01)and security(50.09 ± 11.65 vs 58.87 ± 10.22,P ＜ 0.01)than healthy controls.Female patients had lower self-identity (48.31 ±7.68 vs 52.57 ±6.98,P＜0.05) than male patients.There were correlation between self-identity and Y-BOCS (r =-0.404,P ＜ 0.01),security and Y-BOCS (r =-0.314,P ＜ 0.05),self-identity and course of disease (r =-0.284,P ＜ 0.05),security and course of disease (r =-0.259,P ＜ 0.05) self-identity and security (r =0.698,P＜ 0.01) Conclusion OCD patients have lower self-identity and security.The self-identity and security reduce with the symptoms getting worse.Low self-identity and security maybe characteristic of OCD patients.

Recombinant antibodies have become the major growth trends in biotech industry following their success on therapeutic application and good revenue. But the low level of mammalian expression and laggard fermentation process constrained the development of antibody industry in China. The global advances of antibody industry were reviewed, compared the respective advantage between dihydrofolate reductase and glutamine synthetase expression system, continuous perfusion and fed-batch processes were compared. Finally, based on the knowledge and experience of antibody expression and fermentation, the suitable strategy of antibody industrialization, e.g. the fermentation model and scale, should depend on the comprehensive consideration of entrepreneur for the productivity, manufacturing capacity and market revenue. It may be a wise choice to use glutamine synthetase expression system and continuous perfusion process for the need of Chinese antibody industrialization.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating hemifacial spasm and its effect on the surface electromyogram signal of orbicularis oculi muscle under contraction state.Method Seventy-six patients with hemifacial spasm were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 38 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional medications, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the intervention given to the control group. The surface electromyogram signal of orbicularis oculi muscle under contraction before and after intervention, clinical efficacies, and side effects were compared between the two groups.Result The MF and MPF values were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, the MPF value in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 92.1% in the treatment group versus 63.2% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The TESS scores after intervention were significantly different from that before intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, the TESS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective method in treating hemifacial spasm, and it can release muscle fatigue.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating subjective tinnitus.Method Seventy subjective tinnitus patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional medication, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the medication given to the control. The serum zinc level, copper level, and pure-tone hearing threshold were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result After intervention, the serum zinc and copper levels, and pure-tone hearing threshold were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). The serum zinc and copper levels, and pure-tone hearing threshold of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group after intervention (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.8% in the treatment group versus 87.9% in the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus medication is an effective way in treating subjective tinnitus.

Objective Gastrointestinal stromal tumor( GIST) is a rare mesenchymal tumor from gastroin-testinal tract,and surgery remains the only curative treatment.In order to improve the outcome of surgical treat-ment,reduce the risk of surgery,and increase the quality of life,preoperative imatinib( IM) treatment for GIST is investigated.Methods We retrospectively studied the multidisciplinary team model treatments for 8 GIST cases receiving preoperative IM treatment.The cases were prescribed IM of 400 mg daily for 12 to 40 weeks and exten-sively followed until surgery was considered feasibleg.The clinical significance and safety profile were analyzed. Results Partial responsive rate was 62.5% in this study.There was no intolerable sever adverse effects by IM preoperative treatment.All the cases received R0 dissection,with no intraoperative tumor rupture.The postopera-tive recovery was satisfied.Conclusion IM preoperative treatment brings significant clinical benefit to large stomach GISTs and cardiac region GISTs.The preoperative treatment should be monitored carefully under a multi-disciplinary team.Preoperative IM treatment is an evocative treatment strategy for high risk GIST.

Objective To investigate the rate and the time of generalization from childhood ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG),and the preventive effect of prednisone on the progression of OMG to generalized myasthenia of gravis (GMG).Methods Retrospective study of medical data from 978 childhood patients with OMG and 1359 adult patients with OMG during a follow-up period of 1--28 years (mean 7.5 years) who were diagnosed and treated in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College from 1977 to 2005.Results The generalized rate of childhood OMG and adult OMG was 13.0% (127/978) and 67.2% (913/1359) respectively (χ2=674.17,P < 0.01).Of 127 childhood OMG patients who had become generalized form,74 patients (58.3%) developed generalized form in the first 2 years from the onset; Of 913 adult OMG patients who had become generalized form,763 patients (83.6%) did (χ2=45.39,P < 0.01) .Of 456 childhood OMG patients treated with prednisone,only 5 patients (1.1%) became generalized form; 0f522 childhood OMG patients never treated with prednisone,122 patients (23.4%) developed the generalized form (χ2=104.9,P < 0.01).Conclusions The rate of generalization of childhood OMG is significantly decreased than that of adult OMG.The frequency of generalization of childhood OMG in the first 2 years from the onset is significantly lowered than adult OMG.Prednisone does reduce the chance of generalization from childhood OMG.

BACKGROUND:Animal experiments have repeatedly verified that umbilical cord stem celltransplantation can improve the rotational behavior of rats with Parkinson’s disease, with lower immune rejection response.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem celltransplantation in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale.
METHODS:Fifteen patients with Parkinson’s disease were enrol ed, including 8 males and 7 females, aged 52-76 years. Hoehn&Yahr staging was 3-5. After informed consent was obtained from puerperae and the procedure was approved by the hospital ethics committee, ful-term maternal umbilical cord was aseptical y col ected, to culture umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Al patients were hospitalized, and treated with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem celltransplantation via carotid artery puncture. Neurological function of patients was assessed using a comprehensive rating scale for Parkinson’s disease before and 1 month after cells transplantation. Higher score indicated more severe neurological deficits.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fifteen patients entered the result analysis. Compared with before transplantation, 15 patients showed significantly lowered scores on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale at 1 month after transplantation (P<0.05). The improvement was mainly concentrated in the tremor and rigidity, but bradykinesia and unstable position were not improved. Graft versus host disease did not occur in al 15 cases. These findings indicate that umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem celltransplantation for treating Parkinson’s disease has obvious curative effects and significantly improves neurological functions.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of IPSe. max press ceramic endocrowns being used in preserving endodontically treated molars. Methods Forty-five endodontically treated molars were selected from 45 patients in this study. All the molars had been endodontically treated and performed with ultrasonic scaling. After 1-2 weeks, the crowns and pulp chambers were prepared. The impressions and master casts were gained and IPSe. max press ceramic endocrowns were fabricated in the lab. The endocrowns were cemented with resin cement. The further consultations were offered to these molars after 6 months and 1 year. The difference of sulcus bleeding index among these endodontically treated molars and the same teeth in the opposite sides was compared. Results In these cases, 100 % of endocrowns were
