1.Induced abortion in China: problems and interventions.
Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae 2010;32(5):479-482
Pooled literatures showed that the induced abortion in China faces many problems:the number of induced abortion remains large; most cases are young and nulliparity women; the frequency of abortion is high; and the interval between one and another abortion is short. Health promotion strategies should be applied to address these problems. It is important to increase the population's awareness of contraception,especially among nulliparity and migrant populations. Routine and effective contraceptive methods should be recommended and emphasized during induced abortion and delivery to lower the rate of induced abortion.

Objective To investigate the complications and outcomes of the treatments in the early time of posterior chamber phakic in-traocular contact lens ( ICL) implantation for the treatment of high myopia, and to analyze the causes. Methods Forty-six patients ( 92 eyes) who underwent ICL/TICL implantations were enrolled in this study. The intraoperative and the postoperative complications in 6 months were observed,at the same time also the treatments and the outcomes were observed. Results None of the patients had a pupillary block. Only 8 eyes in all the patients had an elevated IOP after peripheral iridectomy ( PI) ,and 7 eyes after the ICL implantation,the highest IOP in which was 28 mmHg. No medication was given for treatment. In the YAG PI group,the incidence rate of iris bleeding and pigment dispersion were all higher than that in the YAG PI group (P<0. 05);2 crystalline lens of different patient were damaged intraoperation. Rotation of TICL was observed in 2 eyes. Only 2 individuals of all the patients in this study had complained visual disturbances,which was shadows and glare. Visual psychological change occurred in 1 patient. Conclusion The complications in the early time after ICL implantation for treat-ment of high myopia can prevent and control,the satisfaction of the patients is high.

Objective To probe into the treatment method of filter channel obstruction after trabeculectomy. Methods Filter channel obstruction occurred in 25 eyes within one month after trabeculectomy,and they were retrospectively analyzed. According to different parts of obstruction,they were divided into three types namely inner obstruction, middle obstruction and outer obstruction. Patients with inner ob-struction were given miosis, separation of the anterior synechia, and expansion of peripheral iris incision when necessary. Patienrts with mid-dle obstruction were given reconstruction of the trabecular incision. Patienrts with outer obstruction were given conjunctiva or sclera flap dis-section within 1 month afer trabeculectomy. Results Postoperative IOP ( intraocular pressure) decreased significantly compared with preop-erative IOP. The IOP stabilized at 13~21 mmHg in the fallowing 6~12 months after operation. Conclusion Taking appropriate measures could restore the filtration function within one month after trabeculectomy when the incision adhesion was not very close.

AIDS antiviral therapy (ART) has achieved great success.Originaly,AIDS had been regarded as a fatal disease,but it has become a kind of infectious disease that could be cured and administrated.Global HIV / AIDS cases were still up to about 38 million,but more than half have been effectively treated.In addition to drug treatment,at present,some new technologies and new methods,such as genome editing,have also been involved in the treatment of AIDS,and in the humanized animal experiment has shown very good results.There is no doubt that AIDS will eventually be stopped its epidemic.However,with the continuous development of AIDS antiviral treatment,the most fundamental problem is that HIV latent library has become increasingly prominent one,whether molecular therapy and hybrid cure have being developed for AIDS treatment,there are still such problem existence.Great efforts shoud be made to continuously search for new markers of latent viral cells and to reduce the latent pool.In addition,despite the prevention and treatment of AIDS has made great achievements,but the world still produces nearly 6000 cases of HIV/AIDS every day.Therefore,the development of safe and effective vaccine,whether in the field of prevention,or in clinical treatment,has its positive significance.
