Background Sweep pattern visual evoked potential (SVEP) is an objective method of visual test.There is a clear correlation between SVEP acuity and subjective vision,but they are not identical.Recent studies showed that new regression method can improve the accuracy of SVEP acuity. Objective This trial was to investigate and compare the outcome between amplitude-spatial frequency (A-SP) regression method and amplitudelogVA (A-logVA) regression method in extrapolating the SVEP acuity.Methods SVEP was recorded in 113 eyes of 64 subjects using GT-2000 ( Guo Te,China) with the gratings of 10 different spatial frequency from 0.99 to 12.89 cpd as stimulus.The 1 13 eyes included cataract,glaucoma,corneal disease,optical neuropathy,retinal disease,ocular trauma,refractive error and normal eyes.The correlation were analyzed of SVEP acuity,decimal visual acuity and LogMAR visual acuity.The response were averaged and DFT on the monitor display.SVEP acuity was calculated by extrapolating 0 response amplitude.Results The correlation indices of decimal visual acuity curves obtained by the A-logVA function was 0.663,and that obtained by the A-SP function was 0.705.The positive correlation was seen between subjective decimal visual acuity and A-logVA decimal visual acuity (r =0.540,P< 0.01 ) and between subjective decimal acuity and decimal acuity calculated by the A-SP regression method (r=0.620,P<0.01 ).SVEP decimal acuity calculated by the A-SP function regression method was significantly different from the that calculated by the A-logVA function regression method (Z =-8.688,P<0.01 ).And the correlation indices of LogMAR visual acuity curves obtained by the A-logVA function was 0.733 and that obtained by the A-SP function was 0.715.The positive correlation was found between the subjective LogMAR acuity and that calculated by the A-SP regression method (r=0.700,P< 0.01 ) and between the subjective LogMAR acuity and LogMAR acuity calculated by the A-logVA regression method (r=0.710,P<0.01 ).SVEP LogMAR acuity from A-SP function regression method was significantly different from the LogMAR acuity from A-logVA function regression method (Z=-8.748,P<0.01 ).No significant differences of VA LogMAR were found in gender,eyes,type of disease and age(x2 =2.171,P=0.338;x2 =0.976,P=0.614;x2 =6.032,P=0.420;x2 =14.720,P=0.257 ).Conclusions SVEP can obtain the visual outcome in human.The amplitude-logVA function regression method is more accurate in extrapolating SVEP acuity.

Background: Nummular headache is a new category of primary headache disorder characterized by
consistent location, size, and shape of painful areas. The pathogenesis is uncertain. Bifocal painful
areas are rare manifestations but may expand the clinical diversity of nummular headache. Methods:
The clinical characteristics of 5 bifocal nummular headache patients were reported and those of 11
patients in previous studies were reviewed. Bifocal nummular headache was classifi ed into two types.
Type I was defi ned as a simultaneous activation of two painful areas while type II was defi ned as
two painful areas occurring in different times. Results: All 16 patients were female, with mean age
of onset and initial presentation of 54.7 years and 58.2 years, respectively. There were seven type
I and nine type II patients. The parietal area, especially the tuber parietale, was the leading site of
involvement in both types of patients. The shape and size of painful areas were also similar between
these two groups. There was an equal frequency of ipsilateral and contralateral painful areas. The pain
intensity was similar in both types of patients but was milder in new painful areas than in previous
painful areas in type II patients.
Conclusions: Bifocal nummular headache suggests a central role of nummular headache but does not
debunk the peripheral theory of nummular headache. The accumulated fi ndings in bifocal NH patients
do not support a generalization of pain occurrence or a reproduction of local process of epicranial
neuralgia at multiple sites in nummular headache.

In order to clarify material basis of effective parts of liangxue tongyu prescription, blood-heat and blood-stasis rat model induced by dry yeast was established. The changes of rectal temperature, blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were used to evaluate the cooling-blood and activating-blood effects of liangxue tongyu prescription and its parts. Compared with the model group, the extract from liangxue tongyu prescription, its volatile oil and n-butanol part could significantly reduce rectal temperature (P<0.01), and also reduce blood viscosity and plasma viscosity to various degrees (P<0.01 or P<0.05). So volatile oil and n-butanol part were primarily identified as effective parts of liangxue tongyu prescription. By using GC-MS with normalization method of area to analyze volatile oil of liangxue tongyu prescription, 70 compounds were identified, accounting for about 92.54%, mainly as β-asarone, paeonol, α-asarone and shyobunone. 42 compounds such as peony glycosides, tannins, and iridoid glycosides were identified by HPLC-MS techniques and standard comparison. The study determined the effective parts of liangxue tongyu prescription and clarified the chemical composition providing the foundation for further studies on material basis of liangxue tongyu prescription.

Background Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) can effectively eliminate central vein occlusion macular edema and improve visual acuity, and photopic negative response (PhNR) can reflect the inner retinal function of RGCs and their axons. It is possible there is a correlation between these two observations.Objective This study was to evaluate the changes of PhNR of flash electroretinogram (F-ERG) after intravitreal injection of TA for macular edema in central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO ). Methods Thirteen eyes of 12 patients with macular edema caused by CRVO received an injection of 0. 1 ml (4 rg) of TA. PhNR,visual acuity and retinal thickness of macular area were assessed with Roland RETI scan 3. 15 system,decimal visual chart and Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and 4 weeks after the administration of TA. Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical procedure. Results Visual acuity was improved in 12 eyes and stable in 1 eye 4 weeks following the intravitreal injection of TA. OCT showed that the retinal thickness of the macular area was reduced ;meanwhile,elevation of the amplitude of PhNR also was seen in the F-ERG after the administration of TA in comparison with before the administration of TA. The calculated results determined that the visual acuities were 0. 32t0. 12 and 0. 48±0. 09 (t=6. 325 ,P=0. 000) ,and the retinal thickness values of the macular area were (459.46± 131.31 ) μm and ( 297.54 ±43.31 ) μm ( t = 5.961, P = 0. 000 ), and the average amplitude of PhNR were ( 80. 23±22.96 ) μV and (61.28 ±20. 16 ) μV ( t = 4. 438, P = 0. 001 ) before and after the intravitreal injection of TA, respectively,showing significant differences. No significant correlation was found between PhNR amplitude and retinal thickness of the macular area both before and after the administration of TA ( before: r = 0. 587, P = 0. 035; after:r=-0. 011 ,P = 0. 971 ). Conclusion PhNR can be used for evaluating the status of inner retina after intravitreal injection of TA for macular edema of CRVO.

Objective To explore the application and assess the cosmetic effect of mammaplasty with volume-displacement technique(VDT)following breast conserving surgery.Methods Breast conservation therapy(BCT) was performed in 77 patients of early breast cancer(EBC).Of the patients,42 cases received oncoplastic VDT (onco-plastic group)and 35 cases had only direct skin closure without treatment of the postresection defect (regular group) following BCT.The cosmetic results of the two groups were evaluated after operation and radiotherapy,respectively. Results All patients were followed up for 1 -36 months with median follow -up of 22.3 months,and no recurrence or metastasis occurred in one of the patients.1 month after surgery,the excellent or good cosmetic outcome were achieved in 31 cases (73.81%)in oncoplastic group and 17 cases (48.57%)in regular group respectively,and there was statistical difference between the two groups (χ2 =5.442,P =0.021);1 month after radiotherapy,the cos-metic excellent or good result were obtained in 27 cases (64.29%)in oncoplastic group and 6 cases (17.14%)in regular group respectively,and the difference between the two groups reached statistical significance (χ2 =9.045,P =0.008).Conclusion VDT can improve the cosmetic effect of mammaplasty following BCT in EBC and does not affect curative effect,it is worthy of promoting.
