Objective To compare and analyze the impact of intraocular higher-order aberrations and total ocular higher-order aberrations on visual quality after the implantation of different types of multifocal intraocular lenses(MIOL),in order to provide personalized MIOL selection recommendations for patients.Methods A total of 107 patients(107 eyes)with age-related cataract were selected and divided into the SBL-3,MF15,ZMB00,and Zeiss809 groups based on the type of MIOL implanted.Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA),best-corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA),best-corrected near visual acuity(BCNVA),optical parameters and wavefront aberrations were compared 3 months postop-eratively.Results Preoperatively,there were no statistically significant differences in any optical parameters or visual acuity among the four groups(all P＞0.05).At three months postoperatively,there were no significant differences in UCD-VA,BCDVA,BCNVA,corneal aberration,or intraocular spherical aberration among the four groups(all P＞0.05).How-ever,significant differences were observed in the predicted visual acuity at 100％,20％,and 9％contrast(100％VA,20％VA,9％VA),streller ratio(SR),modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cutoff),intraocular coma,intraocu-lar trefoil,total higher-order aberrations,and the average modulation transfer function height values(MTF AH)of the en-tire eye across various spatial frequencies showed significant differences(all P＜0.05).Pairwise comparisons showed that the ZMB00 and Zeiss809 groups had significantly better 100％VA,20％VA,9％VA,SR,MTF cutoff,and MTF AH,and sig-nificantly lower intraocular coma,intraocular trefoil,and total higher-order aberrations than the SBL-3 group(all P＜0.05).The MF15 group only had significantly lower intraocular trefoil than the SBL-3 group(P＜0.05).Correlation analy-sis results at 3 months postoperatively showed that in the SBL-3 and MF15 groups,UCDVA(logMAR)was positively corre-lated with the objective scattering index and negatively correlated with 100％VA,20％VA,9％VA,SR,and MTF cutoff(all P＜0.05).MTF AH was negatively correlated with intraocular coma and total higher-order aberrations,and positively cor-related with intraocular spherical aberration(all P＜0.05).In the ZMB00 and Zeiss809 groups,MTF AH was negatively cor-related with intraocular coma,intraocular trefoil,and total higher-order aberrations(all P＜0.05),but showed no correla-tion with intraocular spherical aberration(all P＞0.05).Conclusion There are no differences in UCDVA,BCDVA,or BCNVA among patients implanted with the four types of MIOLs,but differences existed in objective visual quality.The ob-jective visual quality of ZMB00 and Zeiss809 is significantly better than that of SBL-3,making them the preferred choices for patients with high-quality visual demands;SBL-3 is suitable for basic demand scenarios;MF15,which is only superior to SBL-3 in terms of intraocular trefoil,can be a compromise option for those sensitive to trefoil aberration.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulaion in brachial plexus block.MethodsC5-C7 brachial plexus block was performed by 6-13 MHz high-frequency ultrasound probe in 65 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score were compared before and after treatment.ResultsThe brachial plexus was showed clearly in 62 patients; however, 3 patients had to be confi rmed by nerve stimulation positioning. The percentage of successful rate is 100%. There was no operation related nerve injury and other complications. The VAS score of preoperation and 1st, 4th and 12nd week after treatment was 8.67±0.76, 3.58±0.62, 2.46±0.2 and 1.77±0.28, respectively. There were significantly difference between before and after treatment (t=58.71, 6.23, 107.72, allP<0.01).ConclusionThe brachial plexus block using radiofrequency thermocoagulaion combined with ultrasound guidance is a safe and radiation-free treatment and warrants to be promoted in clinical practices.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of interventional therapy in treating thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) . Methods A follow-up visit with 24 TAD patients had been operated in our hospital from November 2008 to March 2010. The clinical data, the therapeutic measures and the follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed. Including the remission of symptom, average day in hospital,complication,the long term survival rates and so on. Results All 24 patients have survived, the symptoms have improved instantly, the hospitalization days was 7.3 days,and no complication occurred. The 3 years survival rate was 95.8%. Conclusion Interventional therapy have advantages of treating thoracic aortic dissection with less complication,more secure and higher long term survival rates.
