1.Recent progress on study of the selection of intraocular lens in the bilateral sequential cataract surgery
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2014;32(6):560-562
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.

Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2012;47(24):2022-2025
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium in Chinese patients after thoracic surgery. METHODS: Thirteen patients were enrolled in the study and were given a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium via a subcutaneous injection. Plasma concentrations of fondaparinux sodium were measured throughout a 24 h period. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin software. RESULTS: The following pharmacokinetic parameters were derived; t1/2(7.92 ± 3.13) (4.21-15.89) h, tmax(2.52 ± 0.93) (1.38-4) h, p-1 (0.73 ± 0.18) (0.45-1.02) mg · L-1, AUClast(6. 56 ± 2.19) (3.07-9. 75)mg · h · L-1, Vz/F(3.54 ± 1.00) (2.24-5.73) L, CL/F(0.34 ± 0.14) (0.16-0.63) L · h-1, and MRTlast (6.98 ± 2.1) h. The pearson correlation coefficient, r was 0.7283(P = 0.005) between the serum creatinine(Scr) and mean residence time(MRTlast) of fondaparinux. CONCLUSION: The disposition of fondaparinux is highly variable in patients. A statistical significant correlation between Scr and MRTlast of fondaparinux was observed. Fondaparinux sodium administered by intravenous injection is well tolerated in patients.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2003;24(4):440-443
Clinical trials have demonstrated that arsenic trioxide(As2O3) was effective in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL), based on this facts, studies have been carried out to study its role in the treatment of solid cancer at home and abroad. Primary in vitro study showed that As2O3 could treat the cancer of digestive system such as hepatoma, esophageal carcinoma, gastric cancer, and the cancer of urinary and reproductive system such as cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder transitional carcinoma,as well as lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc. The mechanism of As2O3 actions may be the induction of apoptosis, the inhibition of growth and the promotion of differentiation of solid cancers. This article reviews on As2O3 in treatment of solid cancer.
6.Transabdominal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of achalasia Transabdominal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of achalasia
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2001;22(4):310-312
Objective: To assess the clinical application of transabdominal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of achalasia. Methods: The subjects were divided into 3 groups, with 8 patients suffered from achalasia as patient group, 10 normal individuals and 8 patients with cardiac carcinoma as controls. All subjects received water provocative test to study the lower esophagus and cardia. Sonographic findings were compared between the 3 groups. After treatment by administration of drugs, pneumatic balloon dilation, or intrasphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, the 8 patients were re-examined by TAUS for longitudinal comparison. Results: (1)The normal subjects had no dilation of cardia and lower esophagus before drinking water, but their cardias opened rapidly with the drinking action. (2)All the patients of achalasia were found to have dilation of lower esophagus before taking water. During 10 min continuous TAUS scanning, 5 of 8 demonstrated absence of relaxation of cardias and absence of water from the esophagus into the stomach. The other 3 showed slight and intermittent relaxation of cardias with water flow into the stomach. Thirty minutes after water provocative test, all the 8 patients had water retardation within the lower esophagus. (3)The patients of cardiac carcinoma had an ultrasound feature of cardiac ring enlargement and thickening of cardiac wall without dilation of lower esophagus before water provocative test. Water passed the cardia more slowly. Conclusion: TAUS is a readily accepted examination. It can quickly give reliable diagnostic clues to achalasia. TAUS can also be used for making assessment of therapeutic effect on achalasia.
7.Influential factors on treatment effect of primary hepatic cancer and the countermeasure
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2001;10(2):97-98
Objective To improve the treatment effect of primary hepatic cancer (PHC). Methods Analysis of the influential factors on treatment effect of PHC in China, and propose the countermeasure. Results and Conclusions The main factors influencing the treatment effect of PHC in China are the followings: (1) Most patients with PHC of subclinical type failed to be diagnosed and treatment in time. (2) As a wrong idea PHC has been considered an “uncurable disease", so the treatment strategy is nagative. (3) Unsuitable choice of treatment resulted in some PHC unable to be resected. (4) Intraoperative massive bleeding due to unskill-operative techniques, increase the postoperative morbidity and mortality. (5) The manner of treatment is not positive for PHC patients with portal cancer thrombosis, bile duct cancer hteombosis and portal hyperlension. (6) Combined therapy can not be used or unsuitably used. The following things should be done in order to improve the treatment effect of PHC: (1) Strengthening improving the health-protective consciousness of people and regular examinaton of “high risk" population. (2) Renewing the professional knowledge in time to improve the level of diagnosis, treatment and operative techniques of medical personnel. (3) strengthening the basic medical research to make a break through in PHC treatment.
