Objective To demonstrate the influence of stress on attentional bias in athletes,in order to make guidance for athletes' attention training and control.Method Using dot-probe paradigm,we analyzed the attention behavior of 25 athletes either under stress or not when viewing different pictures of emotional face.The reaction time and the score of the attention bias were recorded and compared.Result The reaction time to negative face pictures under stress was significantly shorter than that to the positive and neutral ones.The value of the attention bias to negative pictures was significantly bigger than O.Conclusion Stress tends to induce attention bias of athletes to negative information.

Objective To research and evaluate measuring Toric intraocular lens (Toric IOL) alignment by iTrace aberration without mydriasis.Methods Forty-five eyes of 35 patients underwent phacoemulsification in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from June 2015 to February 2016 were enrolled.Follow-up and iTrace aberration examination were performed at postoperative 1 week.The internal optics aberration astigmatism axis was transformed into postoperative Toric IOL alignment.The result and the Toric IOL alignment measured by tradition slitlamp method were compared by linear correlation and difference.Results At postoperative 1 week,the uncorrected distant visual acuity and corrected distant visual acuity were (0.19 ± 0.12)LogMAR and (0.10 ±0.09) LogMAR.The UCVA was 20/40 or better in 42 eyes (93.3%).The mean IOL misalignment measured by slitlamp was (3.13 ± 2.86) degrees (ranged 0-9 degrees) and by the iTrace aberration was (4.44 ± 3.42) degrees(ranged 0-13 degrees),there was statistical significant difference (t =-2.321,P =0.025).The mean difference in the error of the Toric intraocular lens alignment measured by iTrace aberration and the slitlamp was (3.67 ± 3.59) degrees (ranged 0-14 degrees).The results showed that there was less than 5 degrees of difference between the two methods in 32 eyes (71.1%),locate 5 to 10 degrees in 9 eyes (20%),more than 10 degrees in 4 eyes (8.9%).The correlation between the 2 methods showed significant linear relationship (r =0.926,P < 0.01).Conclusion Using iTrace aberration can accurately measure Toric intraocular lens alignment without mydriasis,the result has some reference value.

Objective To analyze the reproducibility of keratometry and astigmatism measured by the VERION Digital Guidance System and the comparability of VERION with iTrace,Lenstar LS900 and manual keratometer.Methods The keratometry of 62 cataract patients were measured using four different devices.The steep keratometry (Ks),flat keratometry (Kf),astigmatic magnitude,astigmatic axis,cylinder at 0-degree meridian (vector component,J0) and cylinder at 45-degree meridian (vector component,J45) from each machine were recorded and analyzed.The three repeated measurements and the results of VERION system with other three devices were compared to analyze the reproducibility and comparability of VERION system.Results Reproducibility:Intraclass correlation coefficients and Cronbach's alpha values were higher than 0.9 for Ks,Kf,astigmatic magnitude,astigmatic axis,J0 and J45 measured by the VERION system (all P < 0.001).Comparability:The results of Ks and magnitude of astigmatism of VERION were larger than the iTrace (all P < 0.05) in the paired-samples t test.There was no statistical difference for the rest of parameters (all P > 0.05).The Bland-Altman graphs revealed the 95% limits of agreement (LOA) of J0,J45 and the astigmatic axis between VERION and iTrace were (-0.31-0.35) D,(-0.25-0.31) D and-13.5 °-12.3 °,respectively;There was no statistical differences for all parameters except for J45 in the paired-samples t test between the VERION and Lenstar LS900 (all P > 0.05).The Bland-Altman graphs revealed the 95% LOA of J0,J45 and the astigmatic axis were (-0.25-0.31)D,(-0.27-0.36) D and-13.5°-11.0°,respectively;There were statistical differences for the results of Kf and magnitude of astigmatism between the VERION and manual keratometer (all P < 0.05).The Bland-Altman graphs revealed the 95% LOA of J0,J45 and the astigmatic axis between VERION and manual keratometer were (-0.38-0.35) D,(-0.41-0.42) D,-12.6°-16.4°,respectively.Conclusion The VERION system is a reliable system for the measurement of keratometry and astigmatism.The keratometry and astigmatic magnitude of the VERION system have a good agreement with the iTrace,Lenstar LS900 and manual keratometer.However,the astigmatic axis measurements are significantly different among the four devices.

BACKGROUND:Currently, the treatment of proximal humeral fractures mainly contains joint preservation (conservative treatment, open reduction and internal fixation) and arthroplasty, but how to choose the treatment is stil controversial. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of joint preservation versus arthroplasty in the treatment of displaced 3-or 4-part humeral fractures in randomized control ed trials using meta-analysis. METHODS:Medline (January 1966 to December 2013), PubMed (January 1980 to December 2013), Embase (January 1990 to December 2013), Science (January 1990 to December 2013), Springer (January 1990 to December 2013), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (1994 to 2013), and Wanfang database (1982 to 2013) were searched for randomized control ed trials addressing joint preservation and arthroplasty for 3-or 4-part proximal humeral fractures. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included. The related data were extracted and loaded onto Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software for meta-analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Seven articles with 320 patients (165 patients undergoing joint preservation and 155 patients receiving arthroplasty) were accepted in this mete-analysis and al of them were high-quality English researches by modified Jadad Scale. Meta-analysis results displayed that the random-effects mean Constant score across al types was 55.9 (95%CI:50.7-61.1;P<0.001). Constant score was higher in the joint preservation group than in the arthroplasty group (P<0.01). The study displayed significant heterogeneity (I2 0.001). In the meta-analysis, Constant scores were decreased with increasing rate of male to female and rate of tuberosity resorption. These results suggested that 3-or 4-part proximal humeral fractures demonstrate improved Constant scores when treated with joint-preserving options compared with arthroplasty. Moreover, age, fracture pattern, gender ratio and complication rate are significant predictors of the Constant score. Given the observed heterogeneity and variance in treatment techniques in the included studies, more randomized control ed trial studies are needed to definitively recommend joint-preserving techniques versus arthroplasty for treatment of 3-or 4-part proximal humeral fractures.=88%, Q statistic=107.6, Q=13;P<0.001).

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs)in steroid-induced osteonecrosis (ON).Methods Bone tissues were selected from patients with steroid-induced ON between the necrotic zone of femoral heads and its femoral neck to analyze the miRNA expression profile using the microarray. The most differentially expressed miR-125a-3p and miR-1 7-5p in microarray analysis were further confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR.Results According to the microarray screening,8 miRNAs were upregulated and 3 miRNAs were downregulated in the necrotic zone of femoral heads samples (Fold>2,P <0.05 ).Results of real-time PCR revealed that miR-125a-3p was upregulated and miR-1 7-5p was downregulated in the necrotic zone of femoral heads samples,which were in agreement with the microarray data.Conclusion MiRNA’s differential expression profile of human steroid-induced ON samples was obtained.Among the differentially expressed miRNAs, miR-125a-3p and miR-1 7-5p are the most apparently differentially expressed miRNAs,which may be related to the pathogenesis and development of steroid-induced ON.
