Abstract:AIM: To investigatethe prevalence and awareness of diabetic retinopathy(DR), as well as its influential factors, among patients with diabetes mellitus in the Songnan Community of Shanghai.
METHODS: Residents with diabetes mellitus were randomly sampled in Shanghai's Songnan Community. These patients received full physical examinations. DR was diagnosed using non-mydriatic fundus photography. The patients completed a survey concerning their general knowledge and awareness of DR.
RESULTS: A total of 1120 valid questionnaires and fundus photographs were collected. The incidence of DR among patients with diabetes was 23.6%; 17.1% had mild DR, 5.1% had moderate DR and 1.4% had severe DR. Of the survey participants, 14.1% received ophthalmic examinations over the last year, 71.5% knew their normal blood glucose levels, 85.7% were aware of the possibility of systemic complications caused by diabetes, 77.2% were aware of ocular complications, 47.9% were aware of the need for regular fundus examinations, 58.0% were aware that the early treatment of DR is an important measure to prevent visual impairment, and 59.9% were willing to participate in regular health education seminars. A univariate analysis indicated that the knowledge and awareness scores regarding DR were correlated with age, education level, type of medical insurance, duration of diabetes, diet control, blood glucose monitoring, fasting blood glucose level, exercise frequency and DR stage. A logistic regression analysis indicated that the factors affecting the DR awareness scores were age, education level, type of medical insurance, stage of diabetes, diet control, exercise frequency and DR stage.
CONCLUSION: The patients with diabetes in the Songnan Community lacked sufficient awareness of DR prevention and treatment methods. The existing awareness of DR among the survey participants did not lead to effective prevention or treatment actions associated with this condition. It is necessary to educate patients with diabetes in local communities regarding DR.

Abstract:AIM: To remove orbital cavernous hemangioma by transconjunctival approach, and to examine efficacy and complications of this approach.
METHODS: We retrospectively analysed 74 patients with orbital cavernous haemangiomas between January 2007 and December 2013. Cavernous hemangioma was diagnosed preoperatively by computed tomography(CT)or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)combined with color Doppler. Patients were underwent conjunctival approach, tumors located in the inferior, inferior lateral, or inferomedial sector using inferior fornix conjunctival incision, tumors located in super-lateral sector using the lateral conjunctival incision, tumors located in the superior and inferomedial sector using the super-nasal fornix conjunctival incision. Following exposure, the tumor was clamped and slowly pulled out. Careful dissection is necessary in case where tight adhesions are present.
RESULTS: The tumors were confirmed to be cavernous hemangiomas, consistent with preoperative diagnosis in 100%. Intraconal location was found in 58(78%), 16(22%)cases were in extraconal, including 12(16%)cases located in superlateral sector, 16(22%)cases located in superiormedial or superior sector, interior, inferiorlateral, or inferior locations occurred in 46(62%)cases. The tumor was 8mm to 59mm in diameter. All cases were underwent conjunctival approach, including 46 patients underwent inferior fornix conjunctival incision, 12 patients underwent lateral conjunctival incision, the supernasal fornix conjunctival incision was used on 16 cases. Nine patients were resected one third of the tumor firstly, then removed the rest. In 8 patients in visual acuity worsened postoperatively, 6 of them recovered after 6mo. Five patient's visual acuity improved. No patient had any residual proptosis,chemosis was occurred in 10 patients. One patient had unequal pupils as a result of a lesion of the ciliary nerve. Diplopia was spontaneously in all 6 patients in whom ocular movements were limited preoperatively, there was no diplopia in the other 68.
CONCLUSION: The transconjunctival approach of the tumor is suitable for all other than the tumour in the orbital apex, resect the whole tumor in a fractional resection way under orthophoria can effectively reduce the operation risk and improve operation safety.

Abstract:Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is the most severe complication of diabetic eye disease, which can eventually lead to irreversible blindness, thus seriously impacting on patients' quality of life. At present, surgical operation has been widely carried out on the treatment of DR in China. For the pre proliferative DR(PDR)and PDR, panretinal photocoagulation has often been adopted. By damaging the retina in ischemic area so as to reduce oxygen demand, the neovascularization can be prevented and the patient's condition can be stopped from getting worse. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has an abundant and personalized therapeutic regimen for the treatment of DR. This paper reviews the research progress on combined therapy of TCM with laser photocoagulation for treatment of DR.

Abstract:AIM: To explore the inhibiting effect of FTY720 on corneal neovascularization(CNV)of rat.
METHODS: MTT assay and cells scratch were adopted to observe hyperplasia of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)and cell migration induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)after using FTY720 of different concentration. The effect of FTY720 on CNV induced by S1P in a rat corneal micropocket model was detected. 30SD rats were randomly divided into group A, group B and group C with 10 rats per group. S1P and 0μg, 5μg, and 20μg FTY720 controlled-released particles were implanted into the corneal stroma. The growth of CNV and having pathological examination on 12d after the operation was observed. Findings was analyzed by one-way ANOVA.
RESULTS: 10, 102, 103, and 104 nmol/L FTY720 and HUVECs co-incubate 72h could inhibit cell proliferation(P<0.01), 24h after the function of 10,100nmol/L FTY720, it could inhibit S1P-induced cell migration and the ability of restricting cell proliferation and cell migration was enhanced with increasing concentration of FTY720. On 12d, after rat corneal micropocket controlled-release particles was implanted into groups A, B, C, the CNV area were respectively 10.05±1.19, 6.59±0.95, 2.70±0.68mm2(F=145.155, P<0.01), group A and group B was statistically different and this was the same case between group B and group C(P<0.01).
CONCLUSION: FTY720 can inhibit S1P-induced corneal neovascularization.

Abstract:AIM: To silent hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)gene in malignant melanoma of the choroid cell by small interference RNA(siRNA)and investigate its effect on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2)in the choroid cell line human uveal melanoma cell(OCM-1)in hypoxia environment.
METHODS: OCM-1 cells cultured on culture flask were divided into normal group and hypoxia group. Hypoxia group were divided into five groups: simple hypoxic group, and interference group, and negative control group, and positive control group, and liposome group. Normal group cells were cultured on DMEM culture flask with 10% FBS, 100U/mL penicillin, 100μg/mL streptomycin as well as high concentration of glucose. The cells were maintained at 37℃ in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Cells in good condition were selected for experiment. For hypoxia group, chemical hypoxia inducer CoCl2 was added into nutrient medium at the concentration of 100μmol/L to simulate hypoxia microenvironment. We designed and synthesised siRNA(siRNA+negative control+positive control), the target sequences of the HIF-1α to transfect hypoxic malignant melanoma of the choroid cell. SiRNA including HIF-1α siRNA, β-actin siRNA and negative control group synthesized in vitro transfected hypoxic OCM-1 cell through Lipofectamine2000. The expression of HIF-1α, MMP-2 gene and the protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.
RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, the expression of HIF-1α mRNA was not obviously changed(P>0.05), but the expression of HIF-1α protein and MMP-2 mRNA protein was significantly higher(P<0.05). Compared with the other hypoxia groups,β-actin mRNA expression of positive control group decreased(P<0.05), which proved successful transfection. The expression of HIF-1α mRNA and the expression of its protein and both MMP-2 mRNA and its protein was significantly lower(P<0.05). The negative control group, liposome control group had no significant difference in the detection of factors(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: Hypoxia status may upregulate the HIF-1α in OCM-1 cells by increasing the expression of protein. Hypoxia can also inactivate MMP-2, resulting in upregulation of MMP-2 RNA and the expression of its protein. The expression of HIF-1α and MMP-2 mRNA can be down-upregulated by transfecting OCM-1 with HIF-1α siRNA.

Abstract:AIM: To discuss the protective effect of α-mangostin on retinal light damage in mice.
METHODS: Totally 30 Balb/c mice, aged 6~8wk, were randomly divided into the control group, light-exposure group and α-mangostin group. Every group contained 10 mice. Mice of α-mangostin group were treated with alpha-mangostin at the dose of 30mg/(kg·d)body weight by intragastric administration daily for 7d, and then exposed to white light at the 5thd. The light-exposure group and α-mangostin group were exposed to 5 000±200lx white light-emmiting diodes(LEDs)for continuously 1h to establish the mice model of retinal light damage. Flash-electroretinograme was recorded 72h after light exposure. The changes in retinal morphology of mice were observed by light microscopy. Retinas were extracted to detect the malondialdhyde(MDA)content change of the retinal homogenate.
RESULTS: Flash-electroretinogram(F-ERG)showed that retinal dysfunction was less severe in α-mangostin group than in light-exposure group(P<0.05). Light microscopy test showed that retina structural damage was less severe in α-mangostin group than in light-exposure group(P<0.05). The level of MDA in retinal tissue of α-mangostin group was significantly lower when compared with light-exposure group(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: α-mangostin inhibits lipid peroxidation induced by light damage and protect retina against light damage.

Abstract:AIM: To investigate expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2)and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer(EMMPRIN)in retinoblastoma(Rb)and the relationships between MMP-2, EMMPRIN and tumor development.
METHODS:Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRIN in 39 cases of paraffin embedded Rb samples. Quantitative analysis of expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRIN were assessed by measuring the mean gray scale of Rb tissue with LEICA IM50 Color Pathologic Analysis System. The differences of expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRIN in each clinical and pathological stage were statistically analyzed, and the same step was also undertaken to study the relationship between Rb with MMP-2 positive expression and that with EMMPRIN positive expression.
RESULTS: The positive expression rate of MMP-2 was 90%(Gray value: 109.64±14.52; 35/39), and that of EMMPRIN was 85%(Gray value: 108.01±13.60; 33/39). The expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRIN were significantly higher in tumors of glaucomatous stage(Gray value: 108.21±11.47 and 107.56±14.32)than those in intraocular stage(Gray value: 121.13±11.32 and 119.34±12.66; P<0.01 and P<0.05). And the same conclusion can be concluded between those in extraocular stage(Gray value: 91.03±11.71 and 92.26±12.93)with those in glaucomatous stage(P<0.01 and P<0.05). The expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRIN were significantly higher in tumors with optic nerve invasion(Gray value: 103.89±13.39 and 105.23±14.00)than those without optic nerve invasion(Gray value: 118.39±15.11 and 117.53±16.13)(P<0.01 and P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The positive expression levels of MMP-2 and EMMPRIN may correlate with tumor infiltration and metastasis.

Abstract:AIM: To make a analysis of visual quality of iris location guided femtosecond laser assisted in situ keratomi(LASIK)and iris location guided mechanical sub-bowman keratomileusis(SBK)for high myopia treatment.
METHODS:Femtosecond LASIK(study group)was performed in 102 eyes of 51 patients with high myopia and 70 eyes of 35 patients were received mechanical SBK(control group)from January to October 2013. The spherical refraction of all the patients was from -6.00~-9.50D. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)of the patients was ≥1.0. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), BCVA, thickness of cornea flap, contrast sensitivity function(CSF)and senior ocular aberration were examined in these patients and follow-up was 1a.
RESULTS: At 1a after surgery 94.1% UCVA in study group reached ≥1.0 and there was 94.3% in control group. There was no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05). Residual refraction of study group was -0.08±0.10 D and control group was -0.10±0.07 D. There was no significant difference of residual refraction between two groups(P>0.05). C12, C8 of senior ocular aberration and RMSH in study group was less than control group, amplification: 0.1642±0.0519 and 0.2229±0.0382(t=8.077, P<0.05), while C7 was equal in two groups: 0.1583±0.1921 and 0.1436±0.1536(t=0.556, P>0.05). C8 was 0.0950±0.069 and 0.1858±0.095(t=7.261, P<0.05). RMSh was 0.3711±0.0847 and 0.5622±0.1033(t=12.801, P<0.05). CSF was no significant difference between study group and control group(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: Femtosecond LASIK and mechanical SBK is effective for high myopia. Compared to mechanical SBK, femtosecond LASIK shows more advantages in the senior ocular aberration and visual quality. The cornea flap is more regular from central to peripheral area with femtosecond laser.

Abstract:Aldose reductase(AR)belonging to nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)-dependent aldehyde-keto reductase superfamily, is the key rate-limiting enzyme in the polyol pathway which plays an important role in the body's high-sugar metabolism. AR is widely present in the kidneys, blood vessels, lens, retina, heart, skeletal muscle and other tissues and organs, converts glucose to sorbitol which easy permeability of cell membranes, cause cell swelling, degeneration, necrosis, and have a close relationship with the development of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is a multifactorial disease, the exact cause is currently unknown, but polyol pathway has been demonstrated to play an important role in the pathogenesis of DR. Clinical risk factors such as blood sugar control, blood pressure and other treatments for DR only play a part effect of remission or invalid, if we can find out DR genes associated with the disease, this will contribute to a better understanding of the pathological mechanisms and contribute to the development of new treatments and drugs. The current research progress of AR, AR gene polymorphism, Aldose reductase inhibitors to DR was reviewed in this article.

Abstract:Retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)is a vital tissue for the maintenance of photoreceptor function and environment of outer retina, also the predominant cell type of proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR). It is also affected by many diseases of the retina and choroid, including diabetic retinopathy(DR), age-related macular degeneration(AMD)and retinal pigmentosa(RP). Although of neural origin, the RPE is capable of local repair, and cells may migrate and take on altered characteristics. These findings indicate that RPE-based therapy is a promising option for congenital or degenerate disease of the retina.

Abstract:The large majority of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery take antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs on a regular basis. Antithrombotic treatments predisposes to bleeding complications that may lead to retrobulbar haemorrhage, suprachoroidal haemorrhage and ultimately, to loss of vision. However, discontinuation of antithrombotic medication in such patients may lead to thromboembolic events with serious consequences. There are no guidelines on perioperative management of ophthalmic patients who are on antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. We reviewed traditional and newer agents in the context of cataract, vitreoretinal, glaucoma and oculoplastic surgery. Recommendations are given for continuation, cessation and recommencement of these agents in order to minimise the risk of bleeding and thrombotic complications.

Abstract:AIM:To study the refractive status characteristics aftser cataract surgery and the correlation between preoperative anterior chamber depth(ACD)and refractive status.
METHODS: Ninety-six cases of patients with cataract were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in phacoemulsification group were treated with phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens(IOL)implantation while the patients in small incision group were treated by small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with IOL implantation. Changes in ACD and postoperative refractive status and refractive fully corrected value were counted and the correlation of them were analyzed.
RESULTS: ACD of the phacoemulsification group s deepened 0.74mm while that of the small incision group deepened 0.78mm after treatment and there was no significant difference(P>0.05). After operation, the ACD of two groups significantly deepened(P<0.05). The postoperative visual acuity of two groups were significantly better than the uncorrected visual acuity of two groups(P<0.05). The postoperative refraction of two groups patients were mainly 0 ~+1.0D(41.67% and 54.16%)and +1.25~+2.0D(43.75% and 33.33%)(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: ACD is significant deepened after operation. Surgeon needs full consideration of changes to improve the refractive IOL calculation accuracy.

Abstract:AIM: To examine the retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)changes in early primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)by comparing the superior half of the optic disc with the inferior disc half.
METHODS: It was a clinical observational study. The study included 30 patients(39 eyes)with POAG and 20 normal subjects(40 eyes). Visual field was tested by Zeiss Humphrey750 and the optic disc topographic parameters and RNFL thickness were measured by Zeiss Cirru HD-OCT. Collecting information included visual field mean defect(MD), glaucoma hemifield test(GHT), intraocular pressure(IOP), C/D ratio and RNFL thickness. Data were analyzed by statistic software SPSS18.0. The differences between two groups were assessed using t test.
RESULTS: The differences of superior RNFL minus inferior RNFL thichness on the corresponding clock-hour locations were caculated in two groups. There was a significant difference in superonasal-inferonasal RNFL thickness between two groups(t=2.526, P=0.014), and there were no significant differences in the others(all P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: The asymmetry of optic disc hemifield RNFL is found in early primary open angle glaucoma patients. The superonasal RNFL(1 o'clock for right eye, and 11 o'clock for left eye)is more fragile to loss than inferonasal RNFL(5 o'clock for right eye, and 7 o'clock for left eye).

Abstract:AIM: To explore the judgment of pattern reversal visual evoked potential on visual function and injured part of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
METHODS: There were two groups in this study. 30 children with spastic cerebral palsy(quadriplegia: 15, diplegia: 15)were selected as observation group, while 30 normal children were selected as control group with randomized controlled trial. The changes of half-view and full-view incubation period and amplitude were observed by pattern reversal visual evoked potential.
RESULTS: Full-view pattern reversal visual evoked potential: the P100 incubation period of the observation group was 113.55±8.14ms, and the P100 amplitude was 23.08±15.41μV. The P100 incubation period of the control group was 105.05±5.58ms, and the P100 amplitude was 31.65±7.37μV. From the comparison on P100 incubation and P100 amplitude between two groups, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). P100 incubation period of the spastic diplegia of full-view pattern reversal visual evoked potential was 112.73±7.22ms, and the P100 amplitude was 21.03±12.17μV. P100 incubation period of the spastic quadriplegia was 114.37±9.02ms, and the P100 amplitude was 25.14±18.06μV. From the comparison on P100 incubation and P100 amplitude between two groups, the difference had no statistically significance(P>0.05). Compared to the control group, each eye and each view latency of observation group were higher, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The change of the incubation period of the full-view and half-view pattern reversal visual evoked potential took place in the lesion of the visual pathway: including optic neuropathy, some optic nerve lesion, lesion after optic chiasma, and optic chiasma lesion. Among them, the lesion after the optic chiasma was the most common.
CONCLUSION: Pattern reversal visual evoked potential can help people to understand the visual impairment and injury of children with spastic cerebral palsy in order to identify the abnormal children and early intervention.

Abstract:AIM: To evaluate the long-term efficiency and safety of overnight orthokeratology in myopia correction and control in adolescents.
METHODS: Sixty-five myopia adolescents treated in our hospital from August 2011 to February 2012 were retrospectively analyzed and followed up to 2a. Among them, 35 cases(67 eyes)wearing overnight orthokeatology were included as trial group, and 30 cases(60 eyes)wearing spectacles were included as control group. The trial group were divided into 2 subgroup according the myopic grading in the initial visit: subgroup A(35 eyes, ≤-3.00D), B subgroup(32 eyes,>-3.00D and ≤-6.00D). In the trial group, slit lamp, visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure, corneal tomography were collected before wearing overnight orthokeratology, 1d, 1wk, 1month, 3mo, and every 6mo after wearing overnight orthokeratology,with axial length, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, corneal endothelial cell count, abjective refraction and tear film were also collected before and 2a after wearing overnight orthokeratology. In the control group, slit lamp, visual acuity, refraction and intraocular pressure were collected before wearing and 2a after wearing spectacles. Paired t test were used to compare the intragroup difference. One-way analysis of variance(ANOVA)was used to compare the differences among the groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: The uncorrected visual acuity of the trial group was improved obviously after wearing Orthokeratology Lens 1d, the visual acuity of a group patients improved more significantly. The corneal curvature(including vertical curvature and horizontal curvature)of the trial group became more flat after wearing Orthokeratology Lens 2a and stopped 2 wk; The length of ocular axis was also increased, the growth rate of B group(0.33±0.31)mm was lower than that of group A(0.43±0.25)mm; Subjective refraction of myopia was increased 0.68±0.49D than wearing Orthokeratology Lens before, but compared with the growth(2.08±0.57)D of the control, the effect of myopia control was more obviously. Grade of dry eye was more severely than that of wearing Orthokeratology Lens before, but there was no significant difference between groups A and B. Compared with wearing Orthokeratology Lens before, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, corneal endothelial cell number and the intraocular pressure were all no significant differences between the trial and control group.
CONCLUSION: Orthokeratology is a safe and effective method for the correction of myopia, and long-term use of Orthokeratology Lens can effectively control the development of myopia. Controlling of moderate myopia is more effective than that of low myopia.

Abstract:AIM: To research the characteristics of positive relative accommodation(PRA), negative relative accommodation(NRA)and PRA/NRA ratio in myopes. To analyze the relationship among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree, years and habbits of wearing glasses, myopia development, and pupil diameter.
METHODS: Aretrospective study of ninety eyes in the 180th Hospital of Quanzhou from August 2014 to December 2014. PRA, NRA and PRA/NRA ratio were compared among low, moderate, high myopes and emmetropes. The correlation were analyzed among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree, years and habbits of wearing glasses, myopia development and pupil diameter. PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, years and habbits of wearing glasses and pupil diameter were compared between progress group and non-progress group.
RESULTS:(1)Without statistical differences in age, sex and intraocular pressure, PRA and PRA/NRA ratio of myopes were lower than emmetropes, while NRA was higher.(2)Without statistical differences in age, sex and intraocular pressure, PRA, PRA/NRA ratio and NRA had no statistical differences while years and habbits of wearing glasses had statistical differences among low, moderate, high myopes.(3)With longer years of wearing glasses, PRA, PRA/NRA ratio were larger and NRA, pupils were smaller.(4)Without statistical differences in age, diopter and intraocular pressure, one group which were not easy to deepen degree had more often-wear-glasses myopia patiens and longer years of wearing glasses, the other group which were easy to deepen degree had more seldom-wear-glasses myopia patiens and shorter years of wearing glasses.
CONCLUSION: PRA and PRA/NRA ratio of myopes were lower than emmetropes, while NRA was higher. No correlated relation was detected among PRA, NRA, PRA/NRA ratio, spherical equivalent degree and myopia development. It suggests the onset and progress of myopia are related to many factors. Wearing-glass timely and accurately can release the decline of PRA and PRA/NRA ratio and slow down degree development in myopes.

Abstract:AIM: To evaluate the application of phacoemulsification of different nucleus density using ozil and traditional mode.
METHODS: A total of 89 eyes(72 patients)(visual acuity was of 0.6 and above after 1mo follow-up)of different nucleus density level(LOCS Ⅱ criteria grade Ⅲ 46 eyes, grade Ⅳ and more 43 eyes)were randomly assigned into 2 groups: ozil group(group A), grade Ⅲ 22 eyes(torsional energy 80% IP on); grade Ⅳ and more 17 eyes(torsional energy 100% IP on); Traditional mode group(group B), grade Ⅲ 24 eyes(energy 50%), grade Ⅳ and more 26 eyes(energy 60%~70%). All surgeries were performed by the same experienced surgeon,who use the chop to split the nucleus in the application of phacoemulsification. Intraoperative parameters were total equivalent pawer(TEP), cumulative dissipated energy(CDE)and effective phaco time(EPT)and surgical complications. The effectiveness of the two modes in dealing with hard-core cataract phacoemulsification were compared.
RESULTS: GradeⅢ nucleus dealing: TEP of ozil group was significantly higher than that of the traditional mode group \〖(24.58±7.78)% vs(13.84±1.97)%\〗and EPT of ozil group was significantly lower than that of the traditional mode group(50.59±14.73 s vs 60.19±9.04 s, P<0.05). CDE showed no difference between two groups \〖(13.12±6.03)% vs(13.38±2.85)\〗. Grade Ⅳ and more nucleus dealing: CDE \〖(34.10±13.48)%\〗 and EPT(104.64±32.4s)of the ozil group was higher than CDE \〖(30.31±13.48)%\〗 and EPT(93.01±41.01s)of the traditional mode group, but there were no difference between two groups. Obstacles in the needle of phacoemulsification surgery: ozil group 4/17, traditional mode group 2/26(χ2=2.16, P=0.14).
CONCLUSION: Bothozil and traditional mode can deal with all kinds of nucleus effectively and safely. Ozil mode is more efficacy and quick deal in grade Ⅲ nucleus. With the increase of nucleus hardness, the traditional mode still have the advantage of high efficiency and no obstacle to dealing patients with grade Ⅳ and more nucleus.

Abstract:AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of capsular tension ring(CTR)combined with iris hooks in eyes with large traumatic zonular dialysis or weakness that underwent micro-incision coaxial phacoemulsification with posterior chamber(PC)intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.
METHODS: This prospective study was carried on 21 patients(21 eyes)with traumatic cataract and traumaticzonular dialysis(<180 degrees determined pre- or intra-operatively)in our hospital from January 2011 to September 2014. After CCC, 1-4 iris hooks might be used probably and a in-the-bag CTR was inserted in order to maintain or re-establish an extended capsular diaphragm before or at any time during cataract removal. Then micro-incision coaxial phacoemulsification with foldable acrylic PC IOL implantation was performed. Zonular dialysis range, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, pupil size, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP)in the pre- and post-operative periods and postoperative IOL decentration were observed after operation.
RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 3~12mo. No serious postoperative complication was found. BCVA in our cases: <0.3 in 1 eye, 0.4~0.7 in 15 eyes, >0.8 in 5 eyes. IOPs were in normal range too. The IOLs in 20 eyes remained the required position to the final follow-up examination except one eye in which the PC IOL was dislocated into vitreous cavity due to a postoperative spontaneity PCR, and in which vitrectomy and IOL suture fixation was performed.
CONCLUSION: In cases of cataract associated with traumatic zonular dialysis(<180°), by setting the rational parameters of phacoemulsification, the CTR and iris hooks are found to be efficient in preventing IOL decentration and reducing operation complication. In our cases, the CTR combined with iris hooks is relatively safe application.

Abstract:AIM: To investigate the relationship among carotid atherosclerosis, homocysteine(Hcys)and anterior ischmic optic neuropathy(AION).
METHODS: Sixty-five AION patients enrolled in AION group and 70 non-AION controls enrolled in control group. All the participants in 2 groups were examined by carotid artery color doppler flow imaging to evaluate the incidence of carotid atherosclerosis. Plasma levels of Hcys, vitamin B12 and folate were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The incidence of carotid atherosclerosis, plasma levels of Hcys, vitamin B12 and folate were compared statistically between AION and control group.
RESULTS: Fifty-six AION patients(86%)exhibited carotid atherosclerosis, which was found in 43 control subjects(61%). Fifty-nine AION patients(91%)exhibited increased plasma levels of Hcys compared with that in 38 control subjects(54%). Lowered vitamin B12 was found in 37 patients with AION(57%)and in 43 control subjects(61%). Lowered folate was found in 54 AION patients(83%)and in 32 control subjects(46%). The incidence of atherosclerosis in carotid artery(P=0.001), mean Hcys level(P=0.0005)and lowered folate(P=0.0006)were different statistically between AION group and control group. Mean vitamin B12 level was indifferent between AION group and control group(P=0.0722). Logistic regression analysis showed that carotid atherosclerosis was an a risk factor for AION(OR=1.312, 95%CI: 0.927~1.772), whereas elevated Hcys level(OR=2.378, 95%CI: 1.479~3.821)was also shown to be significant risk factor for AION.
CONCLUSION: Carotid atherosclerosis and elevated Hcys were related with AION. Reducing above-mentioned risk factors related to thrombus may be crucial to the prevention and cure of AION.

Abstract:AIM:To observe the changes of binocular vision in V-pattern exotropia children before and after surgical correction, and the effect of training in reconstructing the binocular vision after surgical corrections.
METHODS: Sixty V-pattern exotropia children were enrolled in this study and were divided into three groups according to their age: group A(4~6 years old), group B(7~9 years old), and group C(10~12 years old), 20 cases for each group. Patients received routine refraction and ophthalmic examinations. Distance and near deviation were measured by prism-covering method and synoptophore. The simultaneous perception and fusion were examined with a synoptophore, and the stereacuity was measured with stereograms(Titmus). The children who didn't reconstruct binocular vision function 1wk after surgery received binocular vision training. The data were recorded before and 1, 2, 4, and 8wk after surgery.
RESULTS: Binocular vision significantly improved among the children after surgery in group A and B(P<0.05). Significantly divergence showed between group C and the other groups 1wk after surgery(P<0.05). Binocular vision of the three groups all significantly improved 8wk after surgery, with no significant differences(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: V-pattern exotropia children can benefit from early surgical correction and training after surgery in reconstruct binocular vision.
