Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;(12):1144-1147
Femtosecond laser is mainly used in corneal refractive surgery.In recent years,the progress of the entire process of femtosecond laser makes a dramatic change and development of corneal refractive surgery.Photoinduced decomposition of femtosecond laser can ionize human tissue and accurately carry out intratissue cutting with less influence for the outside area of target site.So it is proved to have a high safety in clinical application.Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and lens refractive surgery is going to be a new stage in ophthalmology,and its application in cataract extraction includes the cutting of clear corneal incision and anterior capsula of lens as well as cutting up of lens nuclei.The advancement of femtosecond laser in lens refractive surgery mainly is the correction of presbyopia.The progress of femtosecond laser in lens surgery was summarized.

Objective To establish a statistical model that can quantitatively analyze the dosimetric sparing of the bladder based on individual patient’ s anatomy in the static intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans for rectal cancer.Methods Static IMRT plans (7 AP fields) for 100 rectal cancer patients were used to train the model from 2012 to 2013.The anatomical features were quantitatively analyzed by the sizes of overlap regions of bladder-planning target volume (PTV) and bladder-PTV+0.5(0.5 cm margin around the PTV) .The mathematic relationship between anatomical features and dosimetric sparing of the bladder was evaluated after the bladder sparing dose was analyzed using dose-volume histogram.The established model was verified in the IMRT plans for additional 20 rectal cancer patients.Results Bladder V50 was linearly correlated with the ratio of bladder-PTV overlap size to bladder volume ( denoted as x%) , with an equation of V50=0.89x-0.99.Bladder V40 showed an approximately linear correlation with the ratio of bladder-PTV+0.5 overlap size to bladder volume (denoted as y%).The mean dose depended on both x%and y%.For the additional 20 plans, the absolute deviation between predicted and actual values for V50 and V40 were (-3.13%-3.78%) and (-5.30%-5.66%) , respectively, and the relative deviation for the mean dose was (-3.94%-3.76%) .Conclusions The model obtained in this work provides an effective method for quantitatively estimating the bladder sparing dose in IMRT plans for rectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the impact of overweight and obesity on left atrial (LA) function in healthy subjects with excess body weight.Methods Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging were performed in 30 obese subjects (BMI≥28 kg/m2),30 overweight subjects (BMI,24to 28 kg/m2) and 30 age-matched normal subjects (BMI<24kg/m2).Strain (S),peak systolic strain rate (SSR),peak early diastolic strain rate (ESR) and peak late diastolic strain rate (ASR) values were used to evaluating LA function.Results Compared with controls,mean S,SSR and ESR were decreased in obese subjects,while mean SSR,ESR and ASR were decreased in overweight subjects.Compared with overweight subjects,mean ESR was decreased in obese subjects.Conclusions An impaired LA function is found in overweight and obese subjects who has no other clinically appreciable cause of heart disease by using strain and SR imaging.

Objective To assess isehemic myocardial regional function of different coronary atherosclerosis using velocity vector imaging(VVI).Methods Two-dimensional images of apical four-,two-chamber and long-axis view were obtained in 50 patients with coronary artery disease.All segments of the left ventricle were divided into 5 groups:group 0 with no coronary artery stenosis,group 1 with stenosis<50%,group 2 with stenosis 50%to 74%,group 3 with stenosis 75%to 99%and group 4 with a completely occluded coronary artery.The segmental myocardial systolic peak strain(ε),systolic strain rate(SRs),early diastolic strain rate(SRe),late diastolic strain rate(SRa)and their ratio(SRe/SRa)were analyzed with VVI offline software.Results①Compared with group 0,SRe and SRe/SRa of group 1,SRs,SRe,SRe/SRa of group 2~4,εof group 2 and group 4 decreased significantly(P<0.05).②In the comparison of four ischemic groups,ε,SRe,SRa of group 3 were markedly higher than those of group 2,while ε,SRs,SRa of group 2 were lower than those of group 1(P<0.05);for group 4,ε,SRs,SRe were lower than those of group 1,SRe was lower than that of group 2,and ε,SRs,SRe were lower than those of group 3(P<0.05).ConclusionsIn the process of coronary atherosclerosis,myocardial diastolic and systolic dysfunction occurred early and orderly,and has a bidirectional change:decreased firstly,then increased and decreased at last.

OBJECTIVEMedicinal properties are the basic attribute of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM), while the medicinal property theory is the core theoretical foundation of TCM formula combination. In this particle, authors studied the characteristics of pharmacological effects of property combination of traditional Chinese medicines distributing along meridians, with the aim to introduce the medicinal property combination regularity into the design and optimization process of compound TCMs, and bring the medicinal property theory into full play in guiding the formula combination.
METHODIn this paper, TCMs distributing along "the lung meridian" was taken for example. The medicinal property combinations of TCMs distributing along "the lung meridian" recorded in Pharmacopeia (2010) was collected and processed. Besides, Chinese journal full-text database (CNKI) was used to collect all of pharmacological study literatures concerning the above TCMs that have been published since 1980. The pharmacological information was also supplemented by reference to Science of Chinese Materia Medica and Clinical Science of Chinese Materia Medica.
RESULTTCMs distributing along the lung meridian with different properties and tastes showed significant differences in pharmacological effects. For example, mild-sweet-lung medicines could lower blood sugar levels, decrease anoxia and enhance immunity; Mild-bitter-lung medicines showed anti-bacterial, anti-hypertension, anti-oxidation effects; Hot-sweet-lung medicines showed antibechic and anti-bacterial effects. And Hot-bitter-lung medicines showed phlegm eliminating and anti-inflammatory effects. Meanwhile, TCMs distributing along the lung meridian had similar pharmacological characteristics, such as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which is consistent with lung's feature in susceptibility to exogenous pathogenic factors.
CONCLUSIONIn this study, authors discovered pharmacological characteristics of different TCMs distributing along the lung meridian, which links TCM theory with modern study achievements and lays a foundation for establishing a TCM property formula combination system.

Studies on the prescription combination regularity based on medicinal tastes focus on the internal relations between the structure and hierarchy of the prescription combination system. In this paper, with the systematic and scientific self-similarity theory as the core ideology, authors systematically interpreted the self-similarity theory of medicinal properties, defined the self-similarity of prescriptions with identical or similar medicinal properties, and built the systematic view of medicinal property theory based on the prescription combination based on the entity grammar system. As a result, the system was conducive to integrating traditional Chinese medicinal knowledge of syndromes, therapeutic principles, efficacies, medicinal properties and tastes and achieving the automatic design and optimization process from symptoms to prescriptions, and providing scientific and feasible methods and technical systems for the application of the medicinal property theory, with a guiding significance to the technology, methodology and theory of decoction pieces compatibility, component compatibility and compound medicine design.
