BACKGROUND:Monofocal intraocular lens can restore distant vision of cataract patients, butit is not suitable fornear vision recovery, so most ofpatientsstil need to wear glasses. In contrast, multifocal intraocular lens can make up for the shortcomings of the single lenstoim provenear vision and increase the rate oftaking off the spectacles.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the visual function of senile cataract patients after aspheric multifocal and monofocal intraocular lens implantation.
METHODS:Totaly 30 senile cataract patients with 50 affected eyes were randomly divided into two groups: the eyes were implanted with aspheric multifocal and monofocal intraocular lens as experimental group and control group, respectively. At 3 months after implantation, distance visual acuity at a distance of 5 m, the best corrected distance visual acuity,as wel asnear and intermediate visual acuity at a distance of 30, 60 and 100 cm were detected, respectively. Besides, contrast sensitivity at a spatial frequency of 0.8, 1.5, 6 and 18 cpd under light and dark environment was measured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 months after implantation, the distance visual acuity at a distance of 5 m in the two groups was significantly better than that before surgery (P< 0.05); no significant differences were found in near and intermediate visual acuitiesat a distance of 5 m and 100 cm between two groups, but the near visual acuitiesat a distance of 30 and 60 cm in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P< 0.05). In addition, the contrast sensitivity at different spatial frequencies under light environment had no significant differences between two groups; and compared with the control group, contrast sensitivity at the frequency of 6 cpd under dark environment was significantly decreased in the experimental group (P< 0.05), but no significant differences were found in the other spatial frequencies. These results show that aspheric multifocal intraocular lens can significantly improve the near and intermediate visual acuity of senile cataract patients compared with the monofocal lens.

Objective To strengthen the scientific management of automatic processor and promote QC, based on analyzing QC management chart for automatic processor by statistical method, evaluating and interpreting the data and trend of the chart. Methods Speed, contrast, minimum density of step wedge of film strip were measured everyday and recorded on the QC chart. Mean ( ), standard deviation ( s ) and range(R) were calculated. The data and the working trend were evaluated and interpreted for management decisions. Results Using relative frequency distribution curve constructed by measured data, we can judge whether it is a symmetric bell shaped curve or not. If not, it indicates a few extremes overstepping control limits possibly are pulling the curve to the left or right. If it is a normal distribution, standard deviation( s ) is observed. When ?2s lies in upper and lower control limits of relative performance indexes, it indicates the processor works in stable status in this period. Conclusion Guided by statistical method, QC work becomes more scientific and quantified. We can deepen understanding and application of the trend chart, and improve the quality management to a new step.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin(CPWPS)in the hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced oxidative stress damage model of the human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). METHODS HaCaT cells were pretreated with CPWPS 50,100 and 200 mg · L-1 for 12 h. Then H2O2 was added to the final concentration of 300μmol · L-1. After 12 h,the activity of catalase(CAT),glutathion peroxidase(GSH-Px),total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD)and total antioxidant capacity (T- AOC) were detected by enzymes and biochemical method. The expression of aquaporin3 (AQP3) in HaCaT cells was measured by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with control group,CPWPS group did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity at a concentration up to 300 mg·L-1. The viability of cells treated with H2O2 300μmol·L-1 for 12 h decreased to 54.0%(P<0.01). The viability of cells pretreated with CPWPS 50,100 and 200 mg · L-1 for 12 h increased to 69.4%,79.4%and 89.1%(P<0.05,P<0.01),respectively. Compared with the model group,the activity of CAT,GSH-Px,T-SOD and T-AOC in HaCaT cells pretreated with CPWPS 50,100 and 200 mg·L-1 for 12 h increased. Compared with model group,the activity of CAT,GSH-Px,T-SOD and T-AOC of CPWPS 200 mg · L-1 pretreatment group increased by 56.90%,48.68%,48.24% and 71.43%(P<0.01),respectively. Western blotting revealed that the expression of AQP3 in H2O2 model group was in?creased relative to that in control group,while the expression of AQP3 in CPWPS pretreatment groups was decreased. The expression of AQP3 in CPWPS 200 mg · L-1 pretreatment group decreased to 67.1%(P<0.01) compared to the H2O2 model group. CONCLUSION CPWPS can protect HaCaT cells against H2O2- induced oxidative stress damage. The cytoprotective effects are associated with enhanced antioxidant capacity and decreased expression of AQP3.

Objective:To investigate the effects of organ dose modulation (ODM) on image quality and radiation dose to lens during sinus CT scanning.Methods:The GE Revolution EVO CT was used to scan the anthropomorphic head with ODM turned off as the control group and ODM turned on as the observation group. With different parameter combinations of tube voltage (140, 120, 100 kV), noise index (N17, N18), pitch (0.531, 0.969 at 20 cm collimation width, 0.516, 0.984 at 40 mm collination width), 24 series of images were acquired respectively. The tube current (mA) valuesat the anterior (A), left (L), posterior (P) and right (R) positions, volume CT dose index (CTDI vol) and dose length product (DLP) were recorded. Average CT values (AV), standard deviation (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and image quality factor (FOM) of ROI were calculated. Double blind method was used to evaluate the edge sharpness, soft tissue level, noise and artifact on a subjective scale of 3 points. Results:For the combinations of different scanning parameters, the radiation dose of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. The tube current attheposition A for the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.28, P<0.05). The differences oftube currentsatposotions of L, P and R, CTDI vol and DLP values in twogroupswere not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in SD, SNR, CNR and FOM between the two groups of images ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the subjective scores of edge sharpness, soft tissue gradation, noise and artifacts between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:ODM technique can effectively reduce the radiation dose of eye lens without decompromising the image quality, which could meet the requirements of diagnosis, and accord with the principle of radiological protection optimization.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different additional filters on the image quality and radiation dose in abdominaldigital radiography (DR).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 10 cases of abdominal DR from December 2020 to January 2021 in Fuxing Hospital, and the average mAs was calculated. Using automatic exposure control (AEC) technology, a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) slab of the corresponding thickness (18 cm) at the same output of above mAs was confirmed and used as the attenuator to simulate the abdomen. The phantom of CDRAD 2.0 and 17 slices of 10 mm thick PMMA plates (total thickness 18 cm) were placed on the bed. The additional filters were selected as no additional filter, 2 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 2 mmAl respectively. The AEC levels were selected at -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively. The images were collected and analyzed by using CDRAD 2.0 software to obtain the image quality factor (IQF inv). The incident air kinetic energy on the surface of the PPMA was measured for each exposure, and PCXMC software was used to estimate the organ dose and effective dose, and a comparative analysis was made. Results:The skin incident doses at no additional filter, 2 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 2 mm Al were (0.546 1±0.200 8), (0.376 2±0.133 8 ), (0.285 3±0.100 1) and (0.289 9±0.099 2) mGy, respectively. The estimated effective doses were (79.63±29.24)×10 -3, (71.05±25.56)×10 -3, (63.58±22.18)×10 -3 and (67.64±23.11)×10 -3 mSv, respectively. The gonadal doses were (0.058 1±0.020 8), (0.050 0±0.018 0), (0.044 8±0.015 6) and (0.047 7±0.016 3) mGy.The IQF inv values were 4.70±0.61, 4.80±0.84, 4.60±0.55, 4.60±0.60, respectively. There were linear correlations between the effective dose and the skin incident dose under different additional filtration, and the effective doses increased with the increase of the incident doses. The dose was lowest at the addition filtration of 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl. There was no significant difference in the IQF inv between groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:The optimal additional filtration for abdominal DR was 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl with the image quality meeting the requirements of clinical diagnosis, the radiation dose reduced reasonably, and the objective of the optimization of radiographic parameters achieved.
