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 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 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 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 study the effect of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy combined with venoclysis on postoperative gastric cancer.Methods:140 postoperative patients with gastric cancer were divided into IPHPC group(n=72) and chemotherapy of venoclysis group(n=68).The intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy and chemotherapy of venoclysis were applied for the patients in IPHPC group at one time.Postoperative complications,toxicity,survival rate and peritoneal recurrence rate in two groups were observed.Results:There was no sharp difference in the postoperative complications and toxicity between the two groups.The 3,5 year-survival rate were 86.1%,60.2% and 58.3%,29.4% in IPHPC group and CV group.The 3,5 year-peritoneal cavity recurrence rate were 5.6%,20.6%and 27.8%,53% in IPHPC group and CV group.There were significant differences in survival rate and peritoneal recurrence rate between the two groups.Conclusion:Intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy combined with venoclysis can prevent recurrence and metastasis effectively,and improve the survival rate and quality of life of postoperative gastric cancer patients.

Objective To obtain more information concerning polymorphism of the thyrotropin (TSHR) in Graves diseases(GD). Methods (1)A family of GD was studied (including 3 patients and 9 healthy family members)to examine SNPs of TSHR through direct sequencing of all 10 exons and part of introns. (2)In the current case-control study, 30 patients with familiar GD, 48 sporadic patients and 96 healthy control individuals were used to assess whether SNP of TSHR was associated with GD. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes isolated from ACD-anticoagulated blood. Ten exons were amplified by PCR, using primers designed by ourselves. After purifying, the products were sequenced. Results Eight polymorphisms were found. There was a novel polymorphism in exon 8. There were no significant differences between patients and controls. Conclusions These findings suggested that the novel and other polymorphisms of the TSHR gene may not be responsible for GD. There are racial differences in the distribution of polymorphisms of TSHR gene.

Objectives To evaluate the effect of control measures and provide the basis for development of preventive measures though dynamical monitoring of the operation of water improvement projects and know The prevalent trends of endemic fluorosis.Methods In accordance with the provisions and requirements of the Surveillance Scheme of Drinking-Water-Borne Endemic Fluorosis(Trial),136 monitoring counties were selected in national 27 provinces(autonomous regions,municipalities) and Xin Jiang Production and Construction Corps,and 10 water improvement projects were selected in each county.The operation of water improvement projects was investigated,and water fluoride content was tested.Three epidemic villages were selected as fixed monitoring villages in each county.In the villages,the fluoride content in drinking water was detected by Standard Testing Method of Drinking Water.Dental fluorosis was diagnosed by Dean's method of all 8 to 12-year-old students in the villages.Stratified random sampling by age was used to select 50 adults over 25-year-old in each monitoring village,and skeletal fluorosis was examined by X-ray according to the Diagnosis Standard of Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis.Results ①A total of 1398 water improvement projects were monitored.Normal and intermittent operation and discarded projects accounted for 93.35％(1305/1398),5.29％(74/1398) and 1.36％(19/1398),respectively.The qualification rate of water fluoride content was 69.96％ (978/1398).② In the 327 surveyed villages with water improvement projects,the qualification rate of water fluoride content of the projects accounted for 76.15％(249/327).In the 84 surveyed villages without water improvement projects,villages of water fluoride ＞ 1.2 mg/L and ≤2.0 mg/L,＞ 2.0 mg/L,and ≤4.0 mg/L,and ＞ 4.0 mg/L,accounted for 57.14％ (48/84),32.14％(27/84) and 10.71％(9/84),respectively.③ In the 195 villages with water improvement projects and the projects were in normal operation with qualified water,the detection rate of dental fluorosis and the defect type of dental fluorosis in children were 25.03％ (3851/15 387) and 1.88％ (289/15 387),respectively,and for the 82 villages with fluoride content exceeded the national standard,the two rates were 56.27％ (3384/6014) and 10.92％(657/6014),respectively.④ In the 195 villages with water improvement projects and the projects were in normal operation with qualified water,the detection rate of X-ray skeletal fluorosis was 19.11％ (1465/7667).In the 79 villages with fluoride content exceeded the national standard,the detection rate of X-ray skeletal fluorosis was 17.47％ (634/3630).Conclusions The operation of water improvement projects and water quality need to be further improved,and the measure of changing water plays a certain role in control of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis,which needs a long-term consolidation.
