Objective To explore the feasibility of assessments of functional and environmental factors in children with Duchenne mus-cular dystrophy (DMD) under the frame of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY). To execute family intervention and to evaluate its effects. Methods A 6-year-and-5-month-old boy with DMD was enrolled to the study. Functional and environmental factors were assessed with the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), time tests, hand-held dyna-mometry assessment, body mass index and family interview. Plans of family intervention were settled and executed for one year and at the end of intervention, the boy received all the above assessments to compare the effects of intervention. Results After one-year family inter-vention, the muscle strength was improved or maintained in most muscles except abductors of hip and the body mass index did not change. For the activities, the scores of NSAA increased and maintained, and the result of time tests improved. Otherwise, attitude and execution of parents were improved. Conclusion It is feasible to execute family intervention under the frame of ICF-CY in children with DMD. Both children and their family may benefit from the intervention.

AlM:To investigate the influence of phacoemulsification with different incision on tear film.
METHODS:Tear film was monitored in 152 patients (169 eyes) after phacoemulsification. Patients were divided into two groups according to the type of incision:group A (76 patients, 83 eyes) with a 3. 2mm corneoscleral limbus incision phacoemulsification and group B (76 patients, 86 eyes ) with a sclemtic tunnel incision. Tear break-up time ( BUT ) , cornea fluorescein staining ( CFS ) , lid-parallel conjunctival folds ( LlPCOF) and lid-wiper epitheliopathy ( LWE ) were observed at 3d preoperatively and 1wk, 1, 3 and 6mo postoperatively. The results were analyzed using a Chi-square test and t-test with SPSS 17. 0.
RESULTS:BUT: The BUT of two groups was obviously shorter at 1wk, 1mo postoperatively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant at 3, 6mo(P>0. 05). CFS score:There was a large increase in CFS at 1wk, 1mo postoperatively, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant at 3, 6mo (P>0. 05). LlPCOF:There was a large increase in LlPCOF at 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups (P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant at 6mo (P>0. 05). LWE: There was a large increase in tear osmolarity at 1wk, 1mo postoperatively. The differences were statistically significant between the two groups (P<0. 05), however, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups at 3, 6mo (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSlON:The stability of tear film in patients with scleral tunnel incision is much better than in patients with 3. 2mm corneoscleral limbus incision phacoemulsification. There is no significant difference between the two groups during later postoperative periods.

Objective To explore the related diseases,main causes and clinical features of children with basal ganglia calcification(BGC).Methods Thirty cases with BGC detected by CT were studied retorspectively,and its clinical symptoms and image were summarized.Results Many factors and diseases were related to BGC,such as hypothyroidism,intrauterine infection,intrauterine hypoxia,epilepsy,posttraumatic cerebral lacunar infarction.Main clinical manifestations of BGC in children were twich,mental retardation,disorders of limb movements etc.The CT scan showed localized punctuate calcification in basal ganglia.Conclusions The main causes of BGC in children are hypothyroidism,intrauterine infection and intrauterine hypoxia,and the clinical manifestations are diverse.For children with CT-detected BGC should diagnose its causes;and for unknown causes cases should strengthen follow-up.

AlM:To investigate the expression of VEGF, CD34, Ki-67 and p21 in pterygium as well as the correlation between their expression and clinical pathological characteristics;explore its pathogenesis.
METHODS: lmmunohistochemical S - P staining method was adopted in detecting the expression of VEGF, CD34, Ki-67 and p21 in 62 cases of pterygia and 20 cases of normal conjunctival tissues. Relationship between these markers and clinical pathological characteristics was analyzed.
RESULTS:(1) The positive expression of VEGF, CD34, Ki-67 and p21 in 62 cases of pterygia was 74. 2% (46/62), 77. 4% ( 48/62 ), 66. 1% ( 41/62 ) and 40. 3% ( 25/62 ) respectively. The differences were statistically significant compared with normal conjunctival tissues (P<0. 05). (2) The expression of VEGF and CD34 in 62 cases of pterygia was correlated with clinical types and stages (P<0. 05), and was not associated with sex, age and occupation ( P>0. 05 ); the expression of Ki-67 was correlated with clinical stages (P<0. 05), and was not associated with other clinical pathological characteristics ( P>0. 05 ); the expression of p21 was correlated with clinical stages and pterygium characters (P<0. 05), and was not associated with other clinical pathological characteristics ( P> 0. 05 ). ( 3 ) Spearman correlation showed that there was a positive correlation between VEGF and Ki - 67 ( r = 0. 279, P < 0. 05 ), a positive correlation between VEGF and CD34 (r=0. 299, P<0. 05), a negative correlation between VEGF and p21 (r=-0. 267, P<0. 05 ); it also showed that there was no correlation between any two of CD34, Ki-67 and p21 (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: ( 1 ) Overexpression of VEGF, Ki-67, CD34 and low expression of p21 suggest that these markers are concerned with the development and progression of pterygium. ( 2 ) Expression of VEGF and CD34 increases along with the increase of clinical types and stages, expression of Ki-67 increases along with the increase of clinical stages, and expression of p21 decreases along with the improvement of clinical types or stages; they suggest that these markers may play important roles in the development and recurrence of pterygium. ( 3 ) There is positive correlation between VEGF and Ki-67, VEGF and CD34 as well as negative correlation between VEGF and p21. They suggest that there may be synergistic action between two factors during the development and progression of pterygium.

Objective To investigate the role of heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1 ) and carbon monoxide ( CO) in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Methods A total of 198 cases with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection under 3 years were enrolled in this study. According to whether with wheezing,all cases were divided into wheezing group( n=58 ) and no wheezing group ( n=140 ) . According to having hypox-emia,wheezing group was divided into mild wheezing group(n=34) and severe wheezing group(n=24). And no wheezing group was set as control group. The serum COHb levels were measured by dual-wavelength spectrophotometry. The serum HO-1 were measured by ELISA. Results The levels of serum HO-1 and COHb% in severe wheezing group were ( 2 734. 10 ± 707. 59 ) ng/L, ( 3. 88 ± 0. 83 )%, and ( 1 130. 03 ± 671. 02) ng/L,(1. 16 ± 0. 63)% in mild wheezing group,and(931. 32 ± 451. 67) ng/L,(1. 04 ± 0. 37)% in no wheezing group,respectively. There were significant differences in serum HO-1 and COHb% between se-vere wheezing group and mild wheezing group(P<0. 01,respectively),and there were no significan differ-ences in serum HO-1 and COHb% between mild wheezing group and no wheezing group( P>0. 05,respec-tively). There was significant positive correlation between serum HO-1 and COHb%(r=0. 875,P<0. 01). Conclusion With mycoplasma pneumoniae infection,the expression of HO-1 and COHb% increase by the wheezing disease progression. HO-1 and CO may participate in the development process of infantile wheezing diseases.
