Strabismus and amblyopia are the commonly eye diseases.Great progress has been achieved in the treating strabismus and amblyopia in recent years.But some essential problems should be considered to gain better therapeutic results for strabismus and amblyopia patients.For example,what is the goal of strabismus surgery? What is the timing(when to treat strabismus and when to treat amblyopia) for strabismic amblyopia? What are the guidelines of amblyopia treatment? Here are summaries and comments round above problems which are expected to be useful for strabismus and amblyopia treatment.

AlM: To compare the anterior segment measurements derived from optical low coherence reflectometer ( Lenstar LS900 ) and combined Scheimpflug - Placido disk topographer ( Sirius) .
METHODS: ln this study, we enrolled healthy myopic subjects 54 ( 87 eyes ) . The central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), flat keratometry ( FK) readings , steep keratometry ( SK ) readings and white to white ( WTW ) were measured by LS900 and Sirius. Evaluation and analysis were performed using paired t tests, the Pearson correlation, and Bland-Altman analyses.
RESULTS: The CCT and ACD measurements were significantly lower whereas FK, SK and WTW measurements were higher with LS900 (P<0. 001). Mean differences were -6. 11 ± 6. 32μm,-0. 09 ± 0. 07mm, 0. 18 ± 0. 25D, 0. 21 ± 0. 36D and 0. 25 ± 0. 39mm with statistical significant (P<0. 01). Pearson correlation analysis showed high correlation between the 2 devices for all measurements (P<0. 001). On Bland-Altman analysis, 95% limits of agreement for all measurements were 6. 26 to -18. 49μm; 0. 04 to 0. 22mm; 0. 68 to 0. 32D; 0. 92 to 0. 50D and 1. 00 to 0. 5mm.
CONCLUSlON: Anterior segment parameters evaluated with LS900 and Sirius systemare correlated well and achieve good agreement. However, there are significantly statistical differences which may be caused by the different measurement modes, so they may not be interchangeable use under certain clinical circumstances.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) and collagen tubes in the repair of facial nerve in rabbits.MethodsThe facial nerves of rabbits were transected and removed for 5 mm. The nerve ends were then repaired with an e-PTFE or collagen tube, and with an autologous nerve graft as control. After 7 days, 1 month and 3 months, the animals' neural conductive velocity were determined. And then, the nerve specimens were taken out, and the myelinated fibers across the specimen were counted with histological examination.ResultsOn the 7th day, no neural regeneration was observed. But new forming neural fibers across the biocompatible materials and autologous nerve grafts were seen in the following 3 months, while the number and conductive velocity of myelinated fibers varied significantly at the different time points.Conclusione-PTFE and collagen conduits are effective in the repair of peripheral nerves.

Objective To study the clinical application of intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography(IMCE) in assessing myocardial reperfusion by using intravenously infused Levovist before and after percutaneous coronary interventions(PCI). Methods IMCE was performed in 20 patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) before and after PCI. The power Doppler signals of the myocardial segments were analyzed and the time-amplitude curves were plotted during Levovist infusion and incremental triggering. The maximal amplitude score(A), mean ascending slope of the curve(?) and product of A?? were measured. All the patients were followed up 3 months later for assessing IMCE items of left ventricular function. Results A significant increase was showed in A,? and A?? after PCI(P

Objective To investigate the correlation between H.pylori strain possessing cagA gene and the formation of gastric lymphoid follicles(GLF),and the effect of H.pylori infection on the occurrence of GLF.Methods Antral biopsy specimens from 655 patients (chronic gastritis:n=479,peptic ulcer:n=176)were used for detection of H.pylori infection and histological analysis. CagA gene was examined in 70 clinical isolates by means of PCR－ amplification. Results The incidence of lymphoid follicles in gastric mucosa is significantly higher(60.14％ ) in patients with H.pylori infection than those without infection(17.06％ ).GLF is easier to be detected in patients with active gastritis than in those with inactive gastritis. There is no significant difference in the presence of GLF among H.pylori associated gastroduodenal diseases,such as chronic gastritis ,gastric ulcer. Moreover, there is also no significant relationship between H.pylori strains possessing cagA gene and GLF. Conclusion The presence of GLF might directly related with H.pylori infection, and can be observed as a constant morpholgical marker of H.pylori related gastroduodenal disease ;The formation of gastric lymphoid follicles is not related to the cytotoxin of cag A gene of H.pylori.

Objective To establish the feasibility and clinical applications of intravenous myocardial perfusion imaging with Levovist in assessing the coronary microcirculaton reserve.Methods Intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography (IMCE) was performed pre and post dipyridamole injection in 10 cases with normal coronary angiography (group I) and 8 cases with 50% to 70% stenosis in the lift anterior descending branch(LAD) (group Ⅱ) respectively.A set of special instrumental setting and an integrated imaging approach including power Doppler imaging,incremental triggering imaging and harmonic imaging were utilized to record the apical four chamber view.The power Doppler signals of the septum were analyzed and the time amplitude curves were plotted during Levovist infusion and incremental triggering.The maximal amplitude score (A),the mean ascending slope of the curve(?) and the product of A?? were measured.The reserve of A,? and A?? were also calculated.Results At baseline,both group I and group Ⅱ had normal myocardial perfusion.After dipyridamole infusion,contrast score A increased slightly in group I and decreased in group Ⅱ without statistical significance.Both ? and A?? were increased significantly after dipyradamole (P
