Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(08):-
corrected visual acuity and good visual quality are clinic effects standard of laser in situ keratomeleusis.Visual quality descending for patients after LASIK surgery depends on many factors.This review recommends analyses the influence of visual quality for patients after LASIK surgery and it's guiding significance to LASIK from seven sides,such as visual acuity,refactive diopter,contrast sensitivity,wavefront aberration,increment of Q-value,binocular visual function,the change of dominant eye.
3.Regulatory T cells and immune tolerance
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(10):-
Recent studies of immunology have aroused new interest in regulatory T cell for immune responses,and scientists have recognized that suppressor T cells exist in vivo and regulatory T(Treg) cells play a crucial role in mediating immune tolerance and preventing autoimmune diseases.This article reviews the types,characteristics,mechanisms,and roles of Treg in immune tolerance,aiming to offer some important theoretical evidence for the treatment of allograft rejection and autoimmune diseases.
4.Phakic refractive surgery to cure high myopia
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(05):-
According to the anatomic classification,refractive surgery is divided into keratorefractive surgery,phakic refractive surgery and scleral refractive surgery.Most procedures for the correction of ametropia are performed on the cornea,with laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) being the most common one.LASIK has shown its limitations,however.For the correction of higher myopic and hyperopic refractive error,the procedure has considerable undesired effects,such as loss of contrast,glare,and iatrogenic keratectasia.Therefore,a variety of intraocular lens,known as phakic refractive surgery,have been designed to achieve full correction of high myopia and hyperopia without loss of accommodation.Phakic refractive surgery is different from kerato-or scleral refractive surgery in that it involves phakic intraocular lens,non-phakic intraocular lens and clear lens extraction +introcular lens.The author will outline recent progress in phakic intraocular lens and provide unifying concepts that are accepted by ophthalmologists.
5.Current research in the pathophysiology of dry eye
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(08):-
Expanded understanding of the ocular surface and tear film interaction contributes to the pathophysiology of dry eye.Maintenance of tear film requires an intricate nervous and hormonal regulation.The changes in tear film,neurogenic inflammation and sex hormone are key factors in dry eye pathogenesis.
6.An overview of intraocular lens power calculation
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(11):-
Cataract surgery is now often referred to as refractive surgery.It has come into the focus in recent years to choose the intraocular lens of appropriate power so as to achieve the expected postoperative refraction.Two main factors influence the measurement of intraocular lens power(IOL),the IOL power calculation formula and biological measurement of the ocular.The achievement of expected surgical outcome depends on the selection of the IOL power calculation formula and biological measurement instrument that suit the intraocular lens the specific patient.The article presents an overview of IOL power calculation with a focus on the above two aspects.
7.Study progression of keratoconus
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(11):-
Keratoconus is a relatively common, bilateral, non-inflammatory corneal ectasia characterized by thinning and scarring of the central portion of the cornea,seriously destroyed the vision. The aetiology of this condition is probably multiple factors,such as collagen themry,genetic themry,epithelia themry,etc.Now,recent investigations devote to gene,and think it one of the major aetiological factors. Laboratory studies suggest a role for degradative enzymes and proteinase inhibitors and a possible role for the interleukin-1 system in its pathogenesis, but these roles need to be more clearly defined. It has well-described clinical signs, but early forms of the disease may go undetected unless the anterior corneal topography is studied. Contact lenses are the most common treatment modality. When contact lenses fail, corneal transplant is the best and most successful surgical option.

With the development of modern vitrectomy,some new ideas have been proposed concerning the treatment of Terson syndrome.Developed neurosurgery has offered more chances of survival to patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Terson syndrome,as the initial presentation,has gained more and more attention from ophthalmologists,though strict guidelines for its treatment have not yet been established.The paper reviews the progress in the clinical researches of Terson syndrome.

Objective:To study analyze sthe contrast sensitivity of high myopia.Methods:The contrast sensitivity function(CSF) in 60 eyes of 30 patients with high myopia was studied with normal subjects as control.Those with other ocular disease or systemic disease were excluded to avoid any possible affection.The patients were aged from 12 to 62 years.Corrected vision were all over 0.8 in high myopia,and the control was more than 1.0.The contrast sensitivity function was measured with CSV-1000E Vision Testing Instrument(provided by VECTOR VISION company).Results:The results revealed that the CSF of high myopia in each space-frequency range was decreased.The difference between high myopia group and control group was significant(P

Objective:To determine whether laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) affects the central 30-degree visual field.Methods:This clinical trial comprised 31 patients(61 eyes)scheduled to have LASIK for myopia or myopic astigmatism.Automated static perimetry was performed before and 1 week,6 months after the surgery using the Octopus 1-2-3 perimetry.The main outcome measures were the meao sensitivity(MS) change in the central 15-degree visual field and the MS change in the 15-to 30-degree visual field.The preoperative and postoperative MS values were calculated,and the difference between them(delta MS) was determined.Statistical analysis were performed by SPSS12.0 using the randomized complete block design ANOVA(two factors analysis of variance).Differences among variables were evaluated by q-test. Results:One week after the operation,all uncorrected visual acuity equal to or better than 4.7.Six months after operation,visual acuity distributed between 4.9 and 5.2. There was no significant change in the central 15-degree visual field MS,neither 1 week nor 1 month after the operation;between 15 and 30 degrees,there was a statistically significant decrease.One week after the operation,the delta MS value was(-0.91?1.42)dB(mean?standard deviation);6 month after the operation,the delta MS value was(-0.87?1.38)dB. Conclusion:Automatic static perimetry can detect decreased sensitivity in the 15-to 30-degree visual field after myopic LASIK.It may be a useful quantitative subjective test for measuring the vision quality after refractive surgery in future.
