AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens ( IOL ) implantation for cataract patients after corneal refractive surgery, and to compare the accuracy of the different refractive IOL.
METHODS:The data of 120 myopia cases (160 eyes) in our hospital, who underwent cataract surgery and corneal refractive surgery were analyzed. Corneal curvature K value before corneal refractive surgery were obtained and calculated by using history method. Corneal curvature correction numerical method and corneal topography were used to record K value of patients with incomplete data before and after treatment. The K value was substituted into the formula. By comparing the actual cataract surgery and refractive state expected refractive status (-0. 50D), the accuracy of IOL refractive obtained from three methods was compared.
RESULTS: The average best corrected visual acuity before cataract surgery was 0. 25 ± 0. 05, and it was improved ( 0. 80 ± 0. 05 ) after surgery. The average spherical equivalent (SE) was -1. 98±1. 75 before surgery and +0.85±3.38 after surgery (P<0.05). The K values of 48 cases were calculated by clinical history method ( CHM ) and that of 73 cases was calculated with the adjusted keratometry method ( AKM) . The K values of 39 cases were calculated using the corneal topography method ( CTM) .
CONCLUSION: For patients with corneal refractive surgery, the appropriate method can be selected according to clinical symptoms, history, etc. and this may help to accurately calculate IOL. For patients with complete data, CHM can be used to provide corneal K values, while for those with incomplete data, AKM and CHM can be used.

Objectives To explore the effects of control measures and dynamic prevalence of drinking water endemic fluorosis in China, to provide basis and technique support for endemic fluorosis control in China. Methods The survey was carried out according to the national surveillance Scheme of Endemic Fuorosis. The fulfillment of control measures and the quality of water improving projects were surveyed. Household water sample and urine of children aged 8-12 years were collected and fluoride content was detected by iron selective electrode method. Check the teeth of children aged 8-12 years. Dental fluorosis was diagnosed by Dean's method. Results projects were build in 84 endemic villages in 2006, and the average water improving rate came to 73.98% fluoride contents of half the surveyed spots were over the standard, mainly between 1.0-2.0 mg/L, and the urine controlled just in only few spots and it was in moderate or severe status in some endemic areas for many years. Conclusions Little progress of control measures in drinking water endemic fluorosis counties surveyed has been made in these two years. Projects of running out of status and over standard of water fluorosis are frequently seen. Dental fluorosis in many spots is not controlled.

Payment system reforms have become an important part of Chinese healthcare reforms, and global budget has been seen as a major trend. Based on the practice and data of four pilot hospitals in Beijing which have implemented the global budget, this paper focuses on analyzing the effects of implementation on the following aspects and provides references for policy improvements: medical services, average medical cost, total health expenditure, medical cost structure, average length of stay and out-of-pocket expense percentages.

In order to investigate the mechanism of elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in peritoneal fluids from patients with endometriosis, macrophages were recovered from peritoneal fluids obtained at the time of diagnostic laparoscopy from infertile women with endometriosis (EMT group, n=20) and without endometriosis (control group, n=20). Macrophages were cultured in vitro. The VEGF levels of peritoneal fluid and the supernatant of macrophages culture were determined by enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA). Meanwhile, the eutopic (n=20) and ectopic endometrium (n=20) from endometriosis patients, and normal edometrium (n=20) from non-endometriosis patients were obtained for the analysis of VEGF expression by labeled Streptavidin Biotin (LSAB). It was found that VEGF levels in peritoneal fluid and macrophages culture supernatant were significantly higher in EMT group than in control group (P<0.01). In normal endometrium, VEGF showed a cyclic changes and similar in eutopic and ectopic endometrium from patients with endometriosis. There was no difference in the intensity of VEGF in endometrium between two groups within each menstrual phase. It is suggested that altered VEGF production by peritoneal macrophages and ectopic endometrium secretion may contribute to the elevated VEGF levels in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis.

In order to investigate the relationship between the VEGF level and the counts of dendritic cells (DCs) in peripheral blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before and after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), the peripheral blood was obtained from 37 patients with HCC who treated by TACE. The blood was obtained on the day before TACE, the first day, the 7th day and the 15th day after TACE respectively. The counts of DCs were quantified by flow cytometry. The plasma VEGF level was measured by ELESA kit. It was shown after TACE, the counts of DCs in peripheral blood were decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the VEGF level in peripheral blood was increased significantly (P<0.05). The counts of DCs in peripheral blood had an inverse correlation with the plasma VEGF level (r=-0.57, P<0.05) after TACE. It was concluded that in patients with HCC after TACE, the increased plasma VEGF level appeared to have the effect to suppress the maturation of DCs, which may contribute to reduction of the body's anti-tumor immunity effect, with a consequence of recur and metastasis of tumor.

The clinical data of 23 cases with emergent hematochezia endoscopically diagnosed as non-ulcerous duodenum diseases were retrospectively analyzed.Majority of cases were misdiagnosed and delayed to transfer to emergency room because of lack of knowledge and experiences of local medical workers.After referral to our emergency department,all 23 cases obtained appropriate management and cured successfully.

BACKGROUND: It has been verified vascular endothelial cells can propagate and differentiate into vessel by planted in the tissue-engineered material in vivo, but it may cause severe trauma when obtain vascular endothelial cells, and it has limited sources. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells by combined induction of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 by experimental observation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The control cell observation experiment was conducted at the Central Laboratory of First Affiliated Hospital, Liaoning Medical University from November 2006 to June 2007. MATERIALS: An 8-week-old Japanese big ear rabbit was used to isolate BMSCs. VEGF, bFGF and IGF-1 were purchased from Peprotech Company. METHODS: After anaesthesia, bone marrow was extracted from the rabbit. Enough BMSCs were harvested by adherence and trypsinization and randomized into two groups. BMSCs in the induction group were inoculated in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10 ?g/L VEGF, 1 ?g/L bFGF and 2 ?g/L IGF-1 for 2 weeks. BMSCs in the control group were inoculated in DMEM containing 10% FBS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological observation, nitric oxide (NO) content detected, immunohistochemistry staining of Ⅷ factor-related antigen and Weibel-Palade body under a electron microscope in BMSCs. RESULTS: Five days after induction, BMSCs were distributed in cluster, showing round. Non-induced BMSCs were evenly distributed, showing spindle or triangle. Fourteen days after induction, NO content in supernatant was significantly higher in the induction group than in the control group (t=3.75, P

BACKGROUND: Basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF) widely in human tissue participates in trauma repair of various tissues and is one of wound healing factors in the body. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the progress of BFGF in the fracture healing. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: A computer-based online search of Pubmed Database was undertaken to identify the relevant articles on BFGF in the fracture healing published from January 2000 to December 2007 with the Keywords of "fibroblast growth factor 2 (basic fibroblast growth factor), fracture healing, regulation, signal transduction" in English. At the same time, Chinese relevant articles were searched in China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) and Wanfang Database published between January 2000 and December 2007 with the same key words in Chinese. Exclusive criteria included articles with repetitive research and non-original study. LITERATURE EVALUATION: A total of 33 articles were collected about the distribution (3 articles), biological characteristics (3 articles) and the effect on the healing of bone fracture (27 articles) of BFGF. DATA SYNTHESIS: Bone healing is the process of regeneration after bone injury and the process of bone formation. BFGF can promote the cell migration by its chemotaxis and accelerate the healing by aggregating mesenchymal stem cells, macrophage and fibroblasts towards trauma region. Present animal studies on BFGF are deep and reports on clinical application are a few. Thus, the effect of BFGF is available. BGFG can affect bone formation by adjusting cell prolifeation and differentiation and changing the synthesis of cell products. BGFG not only can promote the bone growth, but also enhance the adhesion of osteoblasts and scaffold. CONCLUSION: The distribution and biological characteristics of BGFG have been recognized primarily. The further study on modulatory mechanism in the fracture healing of BFGF is carrying through. The bone restoration compounded by BFGF and its carriers is in the experiment and needs to be studied further.
