506 persons, over 45 years old, were observed; and 74 percent of them were found lens opacity. The proportion and degree of opacity were exacerbated with increased age. 51.6 percent of 375 persons with lens opacity had hyperlipemia while 18.3 percent of 131 persons with clear lens also had it. And hypertriglyceridemia was the major manifestation of hyperlipemia. It is suggested that hypertriglycendemia has a close relationship to cataract formation.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the factors influencing endoscope disinfection,in order to take the effective measure,improve endoscope disinfection work and prevent nosocomial infection.METHODS According to Instructions for Technical Procedures of Endoscope Cleaning and Disinfection published by Ministry of Health,42 samples of disinfected endoscopes from 18 000 were randomly selected.RESULTS The work for rinse and disinfection of endoscope in our hospital came to be standardized procedure gradually.We already achieved qualified by 100 percent according to Instructions.CONCLUSIONS The standardized management for rinse and disinfection of endoscope is the assurance for preventing nosocomial infection.

A large series of lens were collected from normal and senile cataractous human eyes, and were investigated according to the theories of oxyradical and lipid peroxide (LPO). The findings showed that the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase in the senile cataractous lens were very significantly lower than those in the normal ones, while the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the lens of senile cataractous eyes was very significantly higher than that of normal eyes. The results suggest that the oxyradical and LPO might be one of the direct causes leading to senile cataract formation.
