With the increasing perfection and improvement of microsurgery technique in modern ophthalmology, especially the popularization of micro-incision cataract extraction and the rise of femtosecond-laser-assisted cataract extraction, the cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation is gradually transformed from vision rehabilitation surgery into refractive surgery and people also pursue better postoperative visual experiences. However, the preoperative and postoperative corneal astigmatism is always the main factor affecting the postoperative visual effect. ln recent years, the development of design and materials of the intraocular lens ( lOL) provided necessary basic conditions for clinical application of the Toric lOL. The Toric lOL is primarily characterized by effective correction of cataract patients′postoperative corneal astigmatism, which results in the enhancement of patients′postoperative visual function. ln this paper, the design, classification and clinical application of Toric lOL were analyzed, and current problems and prospect were discussed.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the phenotype and drug resistance of Robinsoniella peoriensis strains isolated from the blood of patients with prostate cancer and to learn the epidemiological characteristics of the strains. Methods Culture medium growth characteristics analysis, Gram staining, VITEK MS mass spectrometry identification, in vitro drug susceptibility test, 16S rRNA gene sequencing were performed on the strains, and case summary analysis, historical drug sensitivity results comparison and phylogenetic tree construction were carried out. Results Four of the repeatability tests of mass spectrometry identification were R. peoriensis, and the identification accuracy was 99.9%, which was the first time that mass spectrometry analysis in China accurately detected this strain. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the strain was R. peoriensis, and GenBank accession number is OL826796. There are currently 18 cases of R. peoriensis related to human infection in the world, mainly including bloodstream infection, prosthetic joint infection, and postoperative wound infection. The homology of OL826796 in this case with HGUE-09/943 (GU322806.1) isolated in Spanish was 99.58%; in vitro drug susceptibility showed that OL826796 was resistant to penicillin and clindamycin, and sensitive to vancomycin, imipenem, tetracycline and metronidazole. Statistical analysis of drug susceptibility of 18 cases found that R. peoriensis could be tested for drug susceptibility by E-test method: penicillin 100% (7/7), clindamycin 70% (7/10), ampenem 0% (0/4), metronidazole 0% (0/9), meropenem 0% (0/4), vancomycin 0% (0/3). Conclusion R. peoriensis is a rare anaerobic-positive bacillus. When sterile site infection occurs, attention should be paid to timely communication with clinical reports, and penicillin and clindamycin should be used cautiously to fight infection, so as to improve the cure rate of postoperative immunocompromised patients.
