Objective To compare the changes of corneal endothelial cells in early recovery period after 1.8 mm small incision phacoemulsification nucleus chopping and conventional incision phacoemulsification for cataract.Methods Fifty-three patients with cataract were divided into the observation group and control group according to different operation methods.The observation group was treated with 1.8 mm small incision phacoemuisification nucleus chopping while the control group was treated with routine incision phacoemuisification.The visual acuity,degree of astigmatism,corneal endothelial cell indexes and complications were observed.Results The effective ultrasound time and average ultrasonic energy of the observation group were significantly less than those of the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with 1 day before operation,the visual acuity,degree of astigmatism,corneal endothelial cell area (ECA) and coefficient of variation (CV) were significantly increased at 1 week and 4 weeks after operation,and corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) was significantly decreased (all P ＜ 0.05).The visual acuity and ECD levels of the observation group at 1 day,1 week and 4 weeks after operation were significantly higher than those of the control group,while the degree of astigmatism,ECA and CV were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with the traditional incision phacoemulsification,the damage of 1.8 mm small incision phacoemulsification nucleus chopping to corneal endothelial cells is significantly milder,can reduce the effective ultrasound time and average ultrasonic energy,decrease the degree of astigmatism,improve the visual acuity and decrease the corneal edema.

AIM:To observe the preliminary efficacy of conbercept injected intravitreally for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration(wAMD).METHODS:Seventeen wAMD patients (18 eyes) were selected to receive conbercept injection.All patients were given a single conbercept injection every month,3 times.Before and after 1,2,3mo of the injection,the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure (IOP,measured by Non-contact tonometer),fundus photography,fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA),indocyanine green angiography(ICG),optical coherence tomography(OCT) examination and the complications incidence were compared.RESULTS:Three months after conbercept injection,the BCVA improved in 15 eyes (83%),stable in 3 eyes (17%).Before treatment,the average central macular thickness was 421.72±54.43μm,at 1 and 2 and 3mo after treatment,the average central macular thickness was 337.89±25.88μm,293.56±26.87μm,266.89±19.10μm respectively.There were significant differences compared with before and after injection(P<0.05).In the final follow up,FFA and ICG showed that the leakage in macular area disappeared in 15 eyes (83%),still existed in 3 eyes (17%),in those 3 eyes the injection was given for one or two times till the leakage disappeared.Elevated intraocular pressure occurred in 2 cases (26mmHg,23mmHg),after 1d down to normal.Another patient showed postoperative envy,given left ofloxacin eye drops after 2d,then back to normal.There was no serious ocular adverse reactions.CONCLUSION:Intravitreal injection conbercept for wAMD can significantly improve the visual function,reduce the macular edema and the leakage with higher safety and less complications.However the prolonged efficacy needs further observation.

Objective To compare the body composition of diabetic and healthy subjects and to investigate the correlation between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Body composition was analyzed in 80 type 2 diabetic patients (diabetes group) and 80 healthy subjects (control group) selected at random.They were measured for body fat mass,visceral fat area,sketedtal muscle mass,waist-hip ratio,the content of protein and mineral,etc.The blood glucose,blood fat,insulin resistance index (Homa-IR) and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) were also measured.Results The means of body fat mass((19.68 ± 6.78)kg),percent body fat ((29.87 ± 8.04) ％),obesity degree ((115.93 ± 15.94) ％),visceral fat area ((104.48 ± 36.19) cm2),Body mass index(BMI) ((24.85 ± 3.51) kg/m2),chest circumference ((94.06 ±7.86) cm),waist circumference ((85.18 ± 9.50) cm) and waist-hip ratio (0.90 ± 0.05) were significantly higher than the means of healthy subjects'weight control ((-4.08 ± 6.79) kg),body fat mass ((17.31 ± 5.55)kg),percent body fat ((27.38 ± 6.47)％),obesity degree((108.88 ± 13.80)％),visceral fat area ((85.44 ±44.04) cm2),BMI ((23.43 ± 3.10) kg/m2),chest circumference ((91.11 ± 7.52) cm),waist circumference ((80.79±8.17) cm) and waist-hip ratio (0.86 ± 0.05) (t=2.55,2.30,3.12,2.86,2.73,2.28,3.12 and 4.76 respectively;P ＜0.05),body mass control ((-7.01 ± 7.49) kg),obesity control ((-8.53 ± 6.66)kg),muscles control((1.52 ± 1.43) kg) were lower than control group:the body mass control((-4.08 ±6.79) kg),obesity control ((-6.39 ± 5.78) kg),muscles control ((2.31 ± 2.09) kg).The uric acid was negatively related to weight control and obesity control (r =-0.43,-0.42 ; P ＜ 0.01),and were positively related to visceral fat area,percent body fat,waist-hip ratio,BMI,obesity degree,chest circumference,waist circumference and body fat mass (r =0.32,0.31,0.40,0.36,0.36,0.31,0.42,0.42 ; P ＜ 0.05).The triglyceride was negatively related to weight control and obesity control (r =-0.44,-0.41 ;P ＜ 0.01),and were positive related to percent body fat,waist-hip ratio,BMI,obesity degree,chest circumference,waist circumference and body fat mass(r =0.27,0.35,0.46,0.46,0.35,0.42,0.42 ;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The body fat and fat distribution are significantly different between diabetic and healthy subjects.There may be some relationship between central obesity and diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the influence of different field-strength magnets(1.5 T and 3.0 T)on MRI artifacts caused by Ni-Cr alloy fixed prostheses.Methods The crown,bridge and upper denture fixed prostheses with different thickness were produced by Ni-Cr alloy as test samples,and were one by one put on the centre of water phantom for MR scanning with different field-strength magnets(1.5 T and 3.0 T).The artifact areas on these two field-strength magnets were measured and statistically compared.The plastic prostheses with the same shape and thickness as the test samples were served as controls.Results Ni-Cr alloy fixed prostheses could cause MRI artifacts,and the artifact areas increased with the mass of prostheses.However,no artifact area was found in controls.Compared with those on 1.5 T magnet,the MRI artifact areas significantly increased on 3.0 T magnet(P

Objective:To determine the curative effect of Ginkgo Biloba extract on the back chapped skin in SD rats. Methods:Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups with 10 rats in each. One group was the blank control group, while the other five groups with the same back chapped skin were respectively treated with different therapy regimen, namely one group was the model group without any treatment, one group was urea group treated with the commercially available urea, and the last three groups were re-spectively treated with Ginkgo Biloba extract at the dose of 5%, 1% and 0. 2%. The pathological tissue was observed after HE stai-ning, and the content of hydroxyproline ( Hyp) in skin was determined by alkaline hydrolysis. Results:The skin lesion and the score of pathological section were studied and the content of Hyp in the damaged skin was determined. The comprehensive score for the groups was 0, 13. 2, 7. 4, 11. 0, 5. 8 and 6. 6, respectively, and the content of Hyp was (4. 57 ± 0. 07), (2. 41 ± 0. 27), (3. 29 ± 0.57), (2.55 ±0.31), (3.24 ±0.26) and (3.37 ±0.24) μg·mg-1,respectively. There was significant difference in the curative effect between the Ginkgo Biloba extract groups at high dose (5%) and medium dose (1%) and the model group (P<0. 05), which showed no obvious difference when compared with the urea group (P>0. 05). Conclusion:The extract of Ginkgo Biloba has a certain effect on the back chapped skin in SD rats, which may contribute to the external preparations of Ginkgo Biloba extract.
