AIM: To comprehensively investigate the current status of cataract surgery in Leshan city, and find the existing problems according to the survey results as a guide to cataract prevention and treatment in future.
METHODS: We surveyed the status of cataract surgery containing equipments, surgeons and surgery conditions in 17 ophthalmology departments of general hospitals from Leshan including 6 counties, 1 county-level city and 4 districts during 2012. Cataract surgery methods, according to various surgery financial resources, surgical performances and surgical incision, were divided into phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation ( Phaco + IOL ) , extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation ( ECCE + IOL ) , and each method contained 2 groups. We analyzed the outcomes following preoperative examination, surgeons, surgical methods, surgical equipments, types of IOL, surgical quantity, surgical results, and intraoperative complication.
RESULTS: In whole city there were 16 operating microscopes, 43 slit lamp microscopes, 12 non-contact tonometers, 1 intraocular lens Master, 8 optical A/B type ultrasonic examination systems, 4 YAG lasers and 12 phacoemulsification instruments. There 15 doctors could complete cataract surgery independently, and 5 of them were phacoemulsification surgeons. The total number of completed cataract surgeries reached 6 211 eyes, containing 3 564 eyes for Phaco+IOL ( 57%) ( preoperative visual acuity ≥0. 3 in Phaco+IOL1 were 1 520 eyes, 24%) and 2 647 eyes for ECCE+IOL ( 43%) ( 1 533 eyes in ECCE+IOL1, 25%). In various groups, off-blindness rate was 94. 80%-100%, off-disability rate was 90. 41%-100%, and 94. 96% - 100% received intraocular lens implantation, intraoperative complication rate was 1. 00%-15. 10%.
CONCLUSION: The distribution of surgeons and equipments in the whole city is unbalanced, and the utilization rate of phaco equipment is low. The levels are different in various hospitals on surgical technique, surgical quantity and surgical results. Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation is considered as the main therapy for cataract, and as a transition to dioptric and personalized cataract surgery. The surgical condition of the city is good, but the proportion of cataract surgery for prevention of blindness in Leshan city is low, and the surgical technique remains to be further improved.

This article elucidates the relationship between the human susceptibility to obesity and gene polymorphisms such as peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors(PPARs)and PPAR?coactivator-1,along with milestones in the formation and development of capacity for fat deposition during evolutionary history of human.An biological evolutionary analysis,identifying factors favoring the energy stores,may be helpful to the development of preventive public health strategies.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer that has bioactivity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. It displays unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties including high crystallinity, high water holding capacity, nanofibre-network structure, high tensile strength and elastic modulus. Due to its unusual material properties, BC has recently become a kind of attractive biomedical material in the international research.Describes BC's properties, study history and its applications as biomedical materials, especially gives emphasis to introduce the applications of BC on scaffold tissue engineering, artificial blood vessels, artificial skin and the treatment of skin wound, as well as the present study status.

Objective To observe the effects of Jinghua Weikang Capsule on NF-κB p65 expression in gastric mucosa of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infected mice;To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods Totally 44 SPF KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, triple therapy group and Jinghua Weikang group. Except for the blank group, Hp infected model was set up by short term immunosuppression combined with peroral infection. The treatment strategies were triple therapy group with lansoprazole, metronidazole and clarithromycin for 1 week, Jinghua Weikang group with Jinghua Weikang volatile oil for 4 weeks, model group with sterile water for 4 weeks, and blank group free of any treatments. All the subjects were sacrificed in the 4th week after the treatment. NF-κB p65 was detected through real-time PCR and immunohistochemical method. Results The relative quantitative expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA were 3.27±0.53 in blank group, 2.18±0.50 in control group, 4.19±1.21 in triple therapy group, and 7.70±1.41 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=86.303, P<0.001). Compared with model group, the expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA of other three groups increased statistically differently (P=0.004), and there was also statistical difference between triple therapy and Jinghua Weikang group. Through immunohistochemical tests, the values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of nucleus were 25.18± 7.42 in blank group, 31.17±2.98 in model group, 30.06±4.69 in triple therapy group, and 26.94±5.19 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=10.960, P=0.012). The values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of cytoplasm had no statistical difference (F=1.922, P=0.134), and the nucleus/cytoplasm values were 0.23±0.06 in blank group, 0.28±0.03 in model group, 0.26±0.04 in triple therapy group, and 0.24±0.04 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=14.527, P=0.002). The statistical analysis of the nucleus/cytoplasm values showed significance between blank and model group (P=0.002), while triple therapy group was still equal to model group (P=0.420). Jinghua Weikang group was lower than model group (P=0.022) and equal to blank group (P=0.750). Conclusion Jinghua Weikang Capsule can effectively reduce the expression of NF-κB p65 in protein level in Hp infected mice.
