Abstract?AIM: To analyze the effects of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery ( FLACS ) in the treatment of cataract and its effect on prognosis.?METHODS:Forty-two cases (42 eyes) of patients with cataract who were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2014 were selected as the study objects. According to the order of treatment, they were divided into control group and observation group, 21 cases in each. The control group was treated with traditional phacoemulsification cataract surgery ( PCS ) . On the basis, the observation group was treated with femtosecond laser. The effective phacoemulsification time (EPT), cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), fluid flow and monitored pressure of the two groups were recorded.The rate of corneal endothelial loss and the situation of Tyndall phenomenon were statistically analyzed.The two groups were followed up for 1a.The long-term visual acuity recovery was observed.The best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) was recorded, and the long-term complications were statistically analyzed.?RESULTS: 1 ) The total response rate in observation group was 95% while in control group was 90% ( P>0.05);2) the surgery time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group ( P<0.05) but EPT was shorter than that of the control group.CDM and liquid flow were less than those of the control group ( P<0.05 ); 3 ) at 1d after surgery, there was no significant difference in intraocular pressure between the two groups (P>0.05); the rates of Tyndall phenomenon and corneal endothelial loss in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05);4) BCVA of the two groups at different time after surgery were significantly higher than that before surgery (P<0.05). However, at 1d, 3mo, 6mo and 1a after surgery, BCVA of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( P <0.05 ); 5 ) the incidence of complications in the observation group after surgery (14%) was lower than that in the control group (43%) (P<0.05).?CONCLUSION: The surgical effects of FLACS in the treatment of cataract are good.After surgery, the visual acuity of patients is improved significantly and the incidence of postoperative complications is low. However, the surgery time is long and cost is high, so it is difficult to popularize.

The recent investigations have demonstrated that epigenetic such as DNA methylation and histone modification was closely associated with cell growth and malignant tumors, and epigenetic modification was responsible for an important cause of oncogenesis. However, for the recent years some observations have been also shown that the development of tumorigenesis was attributed to transformation expression in microRNA. The latest investigations have revealed that epigenetic was involved in modulation of microRNA expression, on the contrary some kinds of microRNAs could also control epigenetic, moreover, the reciprocal modulation between microRNA and epigenetic could regulate gene expression and induce tumorigenesis. At the same time the data likewise displayed that epigenetic adjusted microRNA expression principally in a way of DNA methylation or histone modification, nevertheless microRNA regulated epigenetic by way of methyltransferases expression, DNA methylation maintenance and histone modification. With regard to the reciprocal modulation between microRNA and epigenetic, a comprehensive and systemic review of reciprocal relationship in modulation of cell growth and oncogenesis was gived.

It is confirmed that chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) caused by Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric precancerous lesions.CAG is also the key determinant in gastric cancer risk assessment,which affects pepsinogen and gastrin-17 secretion.Most of the gastric cancer patients have poor prognosis,and non-invasive tools for gastric cancer screening and diagnosis are lacking.Therefore,the early detection of gastric cancer in order to reduce the disease mortality is necessary.Pepsinogen and gastrin-17 are biomarkers of gastric mucosa and gastric antra.The serological testing for the stomach-specific biomarkers offers the possibility to know preneoplastic gastric mucosal conditions.
