Bilateral sequential cataract surgery is very common in clinical,but the ophthalmologists often ignore how to choose the timing of operation and whether the first eye can be used to improve the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation for the second one.Despite the refinements in IOL selection with the use of third-generation IOL formulas,5％ of eyes still result in a postoperative refractive surprise of ± 1.00 D or more.This paper introduced the methods of using refraction error of the first eye to improve the IOL power calculation for the second eye,and the refractive error of the second eye can be improved by modifying the IOL power to correct up to 50％ of the error from the first eye in details.Because of the variation of the postoperative refractive surprise within a month,the interval of three to four weeks between two eyes cataract surgery is highly recommended.These conclusions may provide the advantageous guidance for us in the selection of IOL in bilateral cataract surgery.

The antimicrobial peptide magainin II is expressed in the skin of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, and exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity as well as tumoricidal properties at low concentrations. In addition, magaininII plays a synergistic role during antimicrobial and tumoricidal processes with another antimicrobial peptide PGLa that is also expressed in Xenopus laevis. The optimized cDNA sequence of magainin II and magainin II-PGLa hybrid peptide according to E. coli or Pichia pastoris codon usage frequency were synthesized and sub-cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX and Pichia pastoris secreted expression vector pPIC9k. The resulting recombinant plasmids were named as pGEX-magainin II and pPIC9k-magainin II-PGLa. The GST-magainin II fusion protein was highly expressed in E. coli. Furthermore, magainin II was successfully purified by digestion with PreScission Protease to cleave the GST tag. Additionally, our data obtained from the ELISA revealed that magainin II -PGLa hybrid peptide was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris. These experiments establish a useful system for further studies of these antimicrobial peptides.

The microarray technology used in biological and medical research provides a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. To find different types of cancer and to classify the cancer samples accurately, we propose a new cluster ensemble framework Dual Neural Gas Cluster Ensemble (DNGCE), which is based on neural gas algorithm, to discover the underlying structure of noisy cancer gene expression profiles. This framework DNGCE applies the neural gas algorithm to perform clustering not only on the sample dimension, but also on the attribute dimension. It also adopts the normalized cut algorithm to partition off the consensus matrix constructed from multiple clustering solutions. We obtained the final accurate results. Experiments on cancer gene expression profiles illustrated that the proposed approach could achieve good performance, as it outperforms the single clustering algorithms and most of the existing approaches in the process of clustering gene expression profiles.

Objective To compare the changes of serum hepcidin,hemoglobin and other indexes of pure hemodialysis and hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration in treatment of maintenance hemodialysis patients,and to investigate the effect of hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration therapy on serum hepcidin clearance,the improvement of anemia and the relationship between them of maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods Twenty-two patients with maintenance hemodialysis patients were collected from Shengjing Hosphal Affiliated to China Medical University from January 2015 to February 2017.This study was self-controlled study,before enrollment all patients were given only regular hemodialysis,after enrollment all patients were given hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration therapy for 3 months,compared the changes of serum hepcidin,hemoglobin,reticulocyte percentage,ferritin,serum iron,transferrin saturation and EPO of pure hemodialysis(before treatment) and hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration treatment for 3 months of patients,and analyzed the correlationship between serum hepcidin and other indexes.Results After hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration therapy for 3 months,compared with pure hemodialysis serum hepcidin levels were significantly lower((77.61±3.31) μg/L vs.(89.49±7.87) μg/L,t=9.660,P<0.01),hemoglobin levels were increased((112.73±11.02) g/L vs.(88.32±11.83) g/L,t=-11.957,P<0.01).The correlations between serum hepcidin and other indexes show that serum hepcidin and hemoglobin and ferritin were related,serum hepcidin was negatively correlated with hemoglobin(r=-0.851,P<0.01)and positively correlated with ferritin(r=0.385,P<0.05),and found no correlations between hepcidin and reticulocyte percentage(r=-0.151,P=0.328),serum iron(r=0.123,P=0.427),transferrin saturation(r=0.211,P=0.170) and EPO(r=-0.173,P=0.261).Conclusion To compare with pure hemodialysis,hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration therapy can more effectively remove hepcidin and improve anemia,and they are related.

Objective To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on the curative effect and cardiovascular events in patients with unstable angina pectoris.Methods128 patients with UAP were enrolled in Jinhua Central Hospital from August 2014 to August 2016, and 128 patients with UAP were randomly divided into observation group and control group.All the patients were given low salt and low fat diet.Two groups of patients were anti-platelet aggregation, blood pressure, lipid-lowering and other conventional treatment, observation group on the basis of simultaneous atorvastatin calcium 40mg/d, oral, once every month.The levels of TC, TG and LDL-C, HDL-C and the incidence of cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.ResultsThere was no case of cardiac death in the observation group and the control group.The incidence of cardiovascular events in the observation group was 9.38%, which was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).The levels of TC, TC and LDL-C in the observation group were significantly higher than those before treatment and control group, respectively.The clinical effect of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05).ConclusionAtorvastatin can significantly improve the efficacy of unstable angina treatment, and reduce blood lipid levels, reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events, improve the prognosis.

Objective To assess the accuracy of bispectral index (BIS) in monitoring the sedation level with dexmedetomidine combined with small-dose of sufentanil.And, to analyze the BIS value of the best opportunity for invasive manipulation with this sedation method.MethodsEighty elective operation patients, ASA Ⅰ~Ⅱ, were randomLy selected for the study.Before the start of anesthesia, small-dose of sufentanil 0.1μg/kg and dexmedetomidine were injected in vein in sequence.The loading dose of dexmedetomidine was 1.0μg/kg for 15 min and the maintenance dose was 0.3μg/kg for 5 min.The time-pint before the start of injection was recorded as T0.And, T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively presented the infusion time of dexmedetomidine for 5min, 10min, 15min and 20min.According to these four time-points, 80 patients were randomLy divided into four groups: group T1, group T2, group T3,and group T4.The relevant HR, MAP, SpO2, BIS value, and OAA/S score were separately recorded.Analyze the correlation of BIS and OAA/S score, and the cutoff value of BIS for OAA/S score=1 was obtained by analyzing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsThe compound use of dexmedetomidine and sufentanil significantly decreased HR.With this sedation method, BIS value was positively correlated with OAA/S score (r=0.95), and the best cutoff value of BIS values for OAA/S score=1 was 44.5.ConclusionThere was a good correlation between BIS and OAA/S score in monitoring sedation with dexmedetomidine combined with small-dose of sufentanil.BIS=44.5 could be regarded as a good monitoring index of invasive manipulation with this sedation method.
