AIM: To study the effect of wearing overnight orthokeratology(OK)contact lens on corneal topography and tears in adolescents.METHODS: The diopter, corneal curvature, corneal surface regularity index(SRI), tear break-up time(BUT), Schirmer I test, and corneal fluorescent(FL)were recordedon 40(80 eyes)adolescent myopia patients(mean age 13.68±2.32 years), who had worn OK contact lensfor more than 1 year, with mean spherical equivalent refraction -3.61±1.48D before wearing OK contact lens. These indexes were tested and recorded before the patients' wearing OK contact lens and 5 times(1wk and 1, 3, 6, 12mo after the first wearing)during the patients' overnight wearing OK contact lens for 8～10 hours per day. RESULTS: Compared with pre-wearing, at post-wearing OK contact lens 12mo, the mean spherical equivalent refraction was apparently decreased from -3.61±1.48D to -1.39±1.31D(P<0.01). The corneal curvature was significantly flattened from 42.29±1.55D to 40.13±1.41D(P<0.01). Mean SRI was increased from 0.34±0.01 to 0.37±0.01(P<0.01). Mean BUT was decreased from 10.39±2.25s to 7.26±1.77s(P<0.01). These indexes were stable at 1wk after wearing OK contact lens overnight and had no significant differences during the following(1, 3, 6, 12mo after wearing)tests(P>0.05). There were no significant differences on Schirmer Ⅰ test during the 12mo of OK wearing(P>0.05). The cases of corneal fluorescent staining increased were mainly grade I, and the number of corneal staining grade I at 1 wk and 1, 3, 6, 12 mo after wearing were 15 eyes(18.8%), 9 eyes(11.3%),13 eyes(16.3%), 9 eyes(11.3%), and 12 eyes(15.0%). BUT of corneal staining grade I wasdecreased significantly, compared with the BUT of corneal staining grade 0 during the 12mo of OK wearing(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: OK contact lens can significantly decrease the degree of myopia and K value of corneal curvature without changing tear volume. However, tear film stability weakens, which needs regular follow-up.

AIM: To observe the morphology of corneal endothelial cells after femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis(Femto-LASIK). METHODS: From May to September in 2013, 88 eyes of 45 patients with myopia who accepted Femto-LASIK were enrolled in this study. The morphology of central corneal endothelial cells was measured by a non-contact corneal endothelial cell analyzer before, 1mo and 1a after surgery. The number, density, average size, size standard deviation, size coefficient of variation and hexagonality of the corneal endothelial cells were observed. All the measurements were analyzed by statistical analysis.RESULTS: All patients underwent operation smoothly, and no complication was observed during and after surgery; One month after surgery, the endothelial cell density(ECD)was 2 815.34±297.07/mm2, which had a 2.64% decrease compared with preparative ECD(t=4.60, P=0.00), there was no statistical significance between ECD measurements of 1mo and 1a after surgery(P>0.05); One month after surgery, the size standard deviation(SSD)was 118.47±31.58μm2, which increased significantly compared with the preoperative SSD(t=-3.87, P=0.03), there was no statistical significance between SSD measurements of 1mo and 1a after surgery(P>0.05); After surgery, the number, hexagonality, average size and size coefficient of variation of the corneal endothelial cells didn't change statistically(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: In the early period after Femto-LASIK, the ECD decreased slightly, however this kind of surgery did not have significant harm to the function of corneal endothelial cells, and the surgery didn't cause the progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells.

AIM: To analyze dryeye disease after the femtosecond laser and mechanical microkeratome for laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK)by Oculus dry eye analyzer examination.METHODS: The people who had femtosecond LASIK(FS-LASIK)and mechanical microkeratome LASIK in Weifang Eye Hospital from January 2014 to April 2014 were observed. Sixty patients(120 eyes)who had corneal refractive surgery were collected. The average age of patients was 27.46±6.65 years old. The LASIK group had 28 patients(56 eyes)and the FS-LASIK group had 32 patients(64 eyes). The tears river altitude, first tear break up time(BUT), and average BUT at preoperative, 1wk and 1mo after operation were observed by Oculus dry eye analyzer.RESULTS: By Oculus dry eye analyzer examination, the preoperative tears river altitude of patients was 0.25±0.10mm. First BUT was 6.70±3.86s. Average BUT time was 10.14±4.51s. At 1wk after operation, the tears river altitude of patients was 0.19±0.04mm. The first BUT time was 4.87±1.71s. The average BUT time was 7.77±2.30s. There was significant difference between preoperative and 1wk after operation(P<0.05). At 1mo after operation in two groups, the tears river altitude of patients was 0.19±0.18mm.The average BUT 8.72±2.54s. The BUT was 5.02±2.30s. There was significant difference between preoperative and 1mo after operation(P<0.05). The two groups had significant difference in average tears river altitude and average BUT between 1mo and 1wk after operation. There was no significant difference in the first BUT between 1mo and 1wk after operation. There was no significant difference between LASIK and FS-LASIK groups at any time of the test(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: LASIK and FS-LASIK patients have different degree of dry eye symptom after operation. Dry eye symptoms mainly display in the decrease of tear production and the stability of tear film. It will be better after giving artificial tears. Oculus dry eye analyzer is a non-invasive examination equipment. It can reflect the amount of tears and the stability of tear film. It is usefull in rapid diagnosis of dry eye and judgment of the degree of dry eye symptom after LASIK operation.

AIM: To compare the clinical effect of phacoemulsification and middle incision extracapsular cataract extraction(MI-ECCE).METHODS: One hundred and eighty-five eyes of phacoemulsification(137 cases)and 185 eyes of 139 cases for MI-ECCE from January 2011 to May 2013 were involved in this study. And the ratio posterior capsular rupture during surgery, visual acuity, corneal edema, corneal astigmatism and intraocular pressure post operation were followed up.RESULTS: On 1d after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity in the group of MI-ECCE was better than that of phacoemulsification group, while from 3d; 1 and 3mo after surgery, no significant difference was found from the above two groups. On 1d postoperation, corneal edema ratio in phacoemulsification group(45 eyes)was higher than that in MI-ECCE group(20 eyes)(χ2=11.665, P=0.0006). No significant difference was found for the ratio of posterior capsule rupture during surgery in these two surgical technique groups(χ2=0.094,P=0.759). On 1wk; 1 and 3mo after surgery, significant difference was found for the average of surgical induced corneal astigmatism between two groups(u=6.661, 6.880, 4.187, P=0.00, respectively). During following up, no significant difference was found for the intraocular pressure between two groups(u=1.858, 0.963, 0.471, 1.349, 1.388; P=0.063, 0.335, 0.638, 0.177, 0.165). Intraocular pressure on 1d postoperation in phacoemulsification and MI-ECCE groups was higher than before operation(u=19.86, 19.39, P=0.00, respectively). And on 1wk; 1 and 3mo postoperation, intraocular pressure in the operated eyes in both groups was lower than before operation for 2～3mmHg.CONCLUSION: Although phacoemulsification and MI-ECCE could both get good visual rehabilitation, with similar visual outcome, no significant effect for intraocular pressure, and no severe complications, the latter one owns the advantage that easier maneuver, quicker recovery, and cheaper instruments needed, which is suitable for the hard nuclei cataract in local hospitals. MI-ECCE is a safe, effective and easy manipulation for local hospital for large batch of cataract surgeries.

AIM: To study the antioxidative stress effect of probucol for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS:Sixty-eight clinic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were selected from January, 2012 to August, 2013. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, the control group was received conventional medicine for hypoglycemic therapy, and the observation group was given probucol(0.375g, twice daily)on the basis of control group. All patients were followed up for average 11.58±0.17mo. At the same time 16 healthy volunteers matched with baseline were collected as normal control group. Changes in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, the staging progress rate and the remission rate of diabetic retinopathy, and indicators related to oxidative stress, such as, total antioxide capacity(TAOC), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and methane dicarboxy aldehyde(MDA), of two groups of patients before and after therapy were observed.RESULTS: Fasting blood glucose,postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin of patients in two groups before and after therapy showed no significant changes, and the differences had no statistical significance. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the control group after therapy were 3% and 19% respectively. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the observation group after probucol therapy were 18% and 5% respectively. In comparison with the control group, the difference had statistical significance(P<0.05). TAOC, SOD, MDA of the control group before and after therapy had no obvious change, but TAOC, SOD of the observation group after therapy had significantly increased, and MDA had significantly decreased(P<0.05), with statistical significance in comparison with the changes of the patients in the control group after therapy(P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Probucol can improve the antioxidative stress status of the patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, and enhance the therapeutic effect of the patients with diabetic retinopathy.

AIM: To investigate the methods of learning coaxial microincision phacoemulsification and assess the related complications.METHODS:The clinical data of 1 080 eyes of coaxial microincision phacoemulsification performed by beginners from October 2011 to December 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. In order of surgery dates, the patients were equally divided into groups A, B, C and D, 270 eyes in each group. Comparisons were made among the four groups in operation time, cumulative dissipated energy(CDE), rate of intraoperative, and postoperative complications at 1d; and best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA)at 1mo postoperatively.RESULTS: No significant differences were found in age, sex, lens grading, BCDVA at 1mo postoperatively among the four groups(P>0.05). The operation time was significantly longer in group A than in groups B, C and D(25.15±3.11min vs 15.20±3.40min, 14.71±3.02min and 14.41±2.91min, P<0.05). No significant differences were found in the operation time among the other three groups(P>0.05). The CDE of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ was significantly higher in group A than that in groups B, C and D(95.9%, 97.8% and 98.5%)(P<0.01). The number of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis(CCC)were performed successfully was significantly less in group A(80.7%)than the other three groups(95.9%, 97.8% and 98.5%)(P<0.01). The incidence of posterior capasular rupture of group A(7.8%)was higher than that of group B(3.7%), group C(1.1%)and group D(0.4%)(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between group C and group D(P>0.05). There were no significant differences both in the number of corneal edema and BCDVA at 1d between group A and group B.(P=0.66, P=0.53).CONCLUSION: With learning step by step, appropriate training program, careful case selection, and accurate managing complications, coxial microincision phacoemusification can be safe for a beginner.

The main factor of myopia is axial growth.

AIM: To analyze the significance of intraocular scattered light and contrast sensitivity in cataract patient's visual quality. METHODS: Seventy-three cases of cataract patients(120 eyes)in our department from January 2012 to January 2014 were selected, of which 32 cases(52 eyes)were cortical cataract, 18 cases(33 eyes)were nuclear cataract, 23 cases(35 eyes)were posterior subcapsular cataract, and 40 normal persons(40 eyes)were as the normal group. The full-eye corneal astigmatism and total astigmatism were observed in all those enrolled. The contrast sensitivity of different perspective was checked by automatic glare contrast sensitivity tester. RESULTS: The corneal astigmatism and full eye total astigmatism in the cortical cataract group, nuclear cataract group and the posterior capsule cataract group was significantly higher than that in the normal group(P<0.05). The total astigmatism was no significant difference cataract in three groups of patients with corneal astigmatism and total full eye astigmatism(P>0.05). The contrast sensitivity in the cortical cataract group, nuclear cataract group and posterior subcapsular cataract group in the whole band were significantly lower than the normal group(P<0.05). The contrast sensitivity of posterior subcapsular cataract group in the whole band was significantly lower than cortical cataract groups and nuclear cataract group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Intraocular scatter light and contrast sensitivity joint inspection can effectively evaluate the visual quality of cataract patients, which lead to early treatment.

AIM: To evaluate the relationship between the morphologic changes of central serious chorioretinopathy(CSCR)and recovery of visual acuity visual acuity(VA).METHODS: Thirty-eight eyes of thirty-eight patients with CSCR were studied and divided according to best corrected visual acuity(BCVA). Group 1, n=17(45%), VA 6/6-6/9(logMAR 0～0.176); Group 2, n=19(50%), VA 6/9-6/18(logMAR 0.176～0.477); Group 3, n=2(5%), VA less than 6/18(logMAR 0.477). All patients inspected by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT).RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 42.50±5.41years, the mean logMAR VA was 0.176±0.0185, retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)detachments in 21 eyes(55%), including single RPE detachments in 14 eyes(67%), and multiple confluent RPE detachments in 7 eyes(33%). Small bulge of RPE in 7 eyes(18%), granular deposition epi-RPE in 5 eyes(13%). The mean subretinal fluid height at the fovea was 259.11±128.78μm. The average photoreceptor lengths were 70.1±9.08μm, 81.6±8.16μm, and 91.9±8.03μm in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively, the mean subretinal fluid height at the fovea was 66.5±8.13μm, 67.8±7.49μm, and 58.6±7.26μm after 6mo, respectively. The mean outer nuclear layer thickness during the active stage was 93.10μm and it was 75.69μm after 6mo(P=0.012)CONCLUSION: In the acute CSCR, VA showed statistically significant association with greater dimensions of subretinal fluid-particularly, greater subretinal fluid height and thinning of the outer nuclear layer at the fovea. The type of pigment epithelium detachment(PED), location, or fiber deposition has nothing to associate with VA. In resolved CSCR, VA has a significant associated with a persistently thinner outer nuclear layer.

AIM:To study the effect of postural change on intraocular pressure(IOP)fluctuation in open angle glaucoma patients after trabeculectomy, and to discuss the value of this investigation on prognosis. METHODS: Fifty-one cases(62 eyes)of primary open angle glaucoma were selected as the research object. Perkins ophthalmotonometer was used to test IOP at the time when patient seat(first seat). The patients were asked to lie supine for 25min, detected IOP, and the patients seated again(final seat), sustaining for 15min, detected IOP. According to whether the IOP range was more than 5mmHg, they were divided into high volatility fluctuation group and low volatility fluctuation group. We recorded their visual field progression(with AGIS score), HPA staging, in order to evaluate the correlation of IOP range with them. Reviews were made 3mo a time, and lasted for 1a, in order to evaluate the relation between IOP range and AGIS scores.RESULTS: The IOP of first seat was 18.1+2.2mmHg. There was no significant difference in the same position(P>0.05). The IOP range was 4.1±1.5mmHg. Low volatility fluctuation group was more likely to have low AGIS score and to be early vision HPA(P<0.001, P<0.05). There were significantly positive correlation between IOP range and AGIS(r=0.412, P<0.001); With time increasing, the number of patients whose visual field progression was increased, and the IOP was also raised. At any time the two were positively correlated(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Visual field progression is related to the degree of IOP fluctuation in open angle glaucoma patients after trabeculectomy, so we can predict the prognosis of patients simply by detect IOP fluctuation. This is good to adjust the IOP control scheme.

AIM: To observe the diopter after cataract surgery for vision gain in high myopia and its effect on visual outcomes. METHODS: Sixty(120 eyes)high myopia combined with cataract cases received phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in our hospital were retrospective studied. The patients were divided into three groups based on postoperative diopter: -1.0～-2.0D(group A), -2.25～-3.0D(group B)and -3.25～-4.0D(group C). The uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA), best corrected distant visual acuity(BCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity(UCNVA)and questionnaire of Activities of Daily Vision Scale(ADVS)were collected to assess the vision gain at 3mo after cataract surgery. RESULTS: At 3mo after surgery, UCDVA of group A was better than that of group B, and UCDVA of group B was better than that of group C. There were no differences in BCDVA among groups. There were significant differences between the three groups' UCNVA, it was best for the group C, followed by the group B, group A was the worst. For questionnaire, no difference was observed in patients' satisfactory for surgical results, but a significant difference was detected in postoperative glasses wearing frequency between groups. CONCLUSION:For cataract surgery in high myopia combined cataract, postoperative diopter should be calculated based on patients' daily requirements. For patients had not used to wearing glasses and near distant working condition, it's appropriated to reserve a minor degree of myopia. Conversely, for patients require near distant working and received wearing moderate and low hyperopia mirror, higher degree of myopia can be reserved.

AIM: To investigate the effect of exogenous peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α)on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)expression in human retinal vascular endothelial cells(HRVEC). METHODS: Recombinant PGC-1α protein was added to HRVEC, and no recombinant PGC-1α protein was added to HRVEC as control group. After 24h of incubation, two groups of cells were then placed into a normoxic(20% O2)or hypoxic(1% O2)environment for another 16h. The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein were detected by real-time PCR, ELISA and immunofluorescence cytochemistry. RESULTS: VEGF mRNA and protein levels in the cells were significantly increased by recombinant PGC-1α protein both under normoxia and hypoxia conditions as compared with control groups(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: PGC-1α can upregulate the expression of VEGF in HRVEC under normoxia and hypoxia conditions.

AIM: To investigate the effects of pirfenidone(PFD)on the proliferation and transfomring growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)expression in vitro culture rat corneal stromal cells. METHODS: Corneal stromal cells from 8 to 10wk SD rats were isolated, cultured and treated with different concentrations of PFD 0mg/mL(control group), 0.15mg/mL(experimental group Ⅰ), 0.3mg/mL(experimental group Ⅱ), 1mg/mL(experimental group Ⅲ)for 48h. CCK-8 assay was performed to assess cell proliferation, while immunocytochemistry and Western Blot were used to detect the expression of ki-67 and TGF-β1 expression, respectively. RESULTS: Compared with control group, PFD significantly inhibited the proliferation in a dose-dependent manner(all P<0.05), so was protein expression of ki-67. PFD significantly down-regulated the expression of TGF-β1 in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Pirfenidone can significantly inhibit the proliferation of rat corneal stromal cell by down regulating TGF-β1 expression, therefore, it has potential prospect in lightening the corneal wound healing reaction.

AIM:To investigate biological measurement parameters of anterior segment in acute angle-closure glaucoma(AACG).METHODS: Forty-six eyes of 46 patients with AACG and 52 eyes of 52 patients with shallow anterior chamber and 50 eyes of 50 normal individuals were examined.

The data were performed statistical analysis in three groups.RESULTS: In each age range group(≥50～59 years old, ≥60～69 years old, ≥70 years old), statistically significant differences in three groups(AACG, shallow anterior chamber group and the controls)were found in CCR, LT, LP, ACD(P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences only in CCR(P<0.01)but not in LT,LP and ACD(P>0.05)between AACG and shallow anterior chamber group in each age range group.CONCLUSION: CCR can be used as the index of evaluating crowding state of anterior segment in AACG patients and the sensitivity is better than LT and LP.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of limbal relaxing incision(LRI)for correcting corneal astigmatism during implantable collamer lens(ICL)surgery.METHODS: A total of 185 eyes of 105 patients with high myopia and corneal keratometric astigmatism were included in the study. ICL surgery with concomitant relaxing incision was performed in 105 eyes of 60 patients in LRIs group(Group A). Eighty eyes of 45 patients only underwent ICL surgery were in control group(Group B). All patients undergone ophthalmic examination that included uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), Pentacam analysis system to observe the changes of corneal astigmatism before and 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery.RESULTS: Respectively comparing UCVA between two groups in 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the P values were considered statistically significant(P<0.05). But, respectively comparing BCVA between two groups in 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the P values were considered no statistically significant(P>0.05). Preoperative corneal astigmatism was 1.52±0.55D in group A and 1.48±0.57D in group B, there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). One week postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0.55±0.41D in group A and 1.20±0.48D in group B. One month postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0.60±0.38D in group A and 0.93±0.47D. Three months postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0.51±0.32D in group A and 0.96±0.40D in group B. The difference between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). The difference value of corned astigmatism before surgery and 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery had statistical significance(P<0.05). In LRIs group, at preoperative and postoperative time points, the average corneal astigmatism changes were also considered statistically significant difference(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: LRIs performed during ICL surgery appeared to be an effective and safer procedure to reduce pre-existing corneal astigmatism and improve UCVA as well as the visual quality.

AIM: To study the changes of pupil diameter and its effects during phacoemulsification.METHODS:Block design, prospective study. 60 cataract patients(60 eyes)were selected, which divided into two groups according to the age, young age group(group A, 20 eyes of 20 patients)and older age group(group B, 40 eyes of 40 patients). Two groups were all given compound tropicamide eye drops for fully mydriasis before operation, computer software to process images during operation, and according to the cornea amplification ratio measure pupil diameter during the operation phase: before the corneal tunnel incision(t1), after injection of sodium hyalurantae(t2), before artificial lens implantation(t3), at the end of the surgery(t4). Statistical analysis of data using SPSS18.0 software.RESULTS: The pupil diameter measurements of t1-t4 were followed respectively: group A were 8.36±0.65, 8.97±0.50, 8.67±0.63, 8.72±0.96mm; group B were 7.73±0.58, 8.23±0.59, 7.89±0.16, 7.70±0.63mm. Overall comparisons between the two groups, the pupil diameter measurements had differences during the operation phase(F=26.696,P< 0.05). Comparisons between the two groups at different time points: the pupil diameter of t1-t4 in group A was larger than that in group B, with statistically differences(P<0.05). The pupil diameter of each groups had a tendency to change in different operation phrases, with no statistically differences(F=2.617,P>0.05). Comparisons in a group at different time points: the pupil diameter of t2 was larger than that in t1, with statistically differences(P>0.05), the pupil diameter of t3 and t4 were decreased in group B, with statistically differences(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Compound tropicamide eye drops are given for mydriasis before operation, young patients with cataract and senile patients with cataract can achieve the effect of surgery for mydriasis, the pupil stability of phacoemulsification in senile patients with cataract are lower than that in young patients with cataract.

Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a kind of age-related blinding degenerative fundus lesions, totally about 30 million patients suffering from AMD all over the world, with about 500 000 people blind for it yearly. As the development of economy and the aging of the population intensified, incidence of AMD indicates a trend of rising year by year, being the third major cause of blindness in our country. At present, the pathogenesis of AMD is not fully clear, as reported it may be related to oxidative stress, inflammatory immune response, VEGF and genetic manipulation. Clinical treatments mainly include photodynamic therapy, drug therapy, radiation therapy, laser photocoagulaory operation, the pupil warm treatments, Chinese medicine and intravitreous injection VEGF antagonists such as Ranibizumab, Conbercept and so on. In this issue, we mainly expound on the progress in the epidemiological studies of AMD, especially elaborate the progress made on genetic manipulation in recent years.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)due to disturbance of carbohydrate metabolism is the most serious ocular complication in patients with diabetic disease, and diabetic macular edema(DME)is one of the main causes of vision loss. It is considered that many factors are involved in DME pathological process. DME is defined as an abnormal thickening of the macular associated with the accumulation of excess fluid in the extracellular space of the neurosensory retina. Nowadays, the main treatment methods of DME include pharmacotherapy, laser photocoagulation and surgery. Inflammatory components within the vascular tissue play an important role in the development of DME, so drug therapy is an important method for DME. In this review, we summarized the risk factors and the current pharmacotherapy situation of DME.

Silent information regulator protein 1(SIRT1)is one of the sirtuins and belongs to histone deacetyase. Its activity depends on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD+)and is regulated by NAD+. Experimental and clinical studies have shown the neuro-protective effect of SIRT1 in the pathogenesis of age-related eye diseases. In this review, the relationship between SIRT1 activator and apoptosis in the retinal cells were discussed. The review also points to SIRT1 as a potential therapeutic target for the clinical management of age-related retinal disease.

AIM: To investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP)(rs6214 and rs12423791)in IGF-1 and high myopia susceptibility by performing a Meta-analysis. METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(up to March 12, 2014)were searched by two authors independently. Crude odds ratios with 95%CIs were used to assess the strength of the associations between SNP rs6214, rs12324791 and high myopia. Statistical analysis was performed using the program RevMan5.2 software(Revman; The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK)and STATA 12.0 software(Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA).RESULTS: Five case-control studies with involving 2585 patients with high myopia and 3327 controls were included in this Meta-analysis. No statistical evidence of significant association was found in all genetic models of rs6214A/G and rs12324791G/C. CONCLUSION: This Meta-analysis suggested that the rs6214A/G and rs12324791G/C mutation in the insulin-like growth factor-1 are not significantly associated with high myopia.

AIM: To compare posterior choroidal thickness in high myopia amblyopia eyes at different points to high myopia and normal eyes of Chinese children and investigate the relationships between choroidal thickness, axial length and age.METHODS: Fifty Chinese children(65 eyes)with age 4～15 years(mean 9.91±3.41 years)were recruited. By atropine optometry they were divided into high myopia amblyopia group(24 eyes), high myopia group(19 eyes), and normal group(22 eyes). Choroidal scans were obtained for all eyes using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(EDI-OCT). Subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT), macular thinkness, choroidal thickness and retinal thickness at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0mm superior(S, 12:00 position), temporal(T, 9:00 position), inferior(I, 6:00 position), nasal(N, 3:00 position)were measured. Meanwhile, axial lengths of all eyes were measured by A-Scan. RESULTS: Compared high myopia group and emmetropia group, SFCT and the thickness of choroids on each position were thinnest in high myopic amblyopia group, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between SFCT and axial length in high myopic amblyopia group(r=-0.531, R2=0.282, F=7.476, P=0.013), with no relative in age(r=-0.292, R2=0.085, F=2.044, P=0.167).CONCLUSION: The choroidal thickness thinning in high myopic amblyopia shows a negative correlation with axial length.

AIM:To compare the effects of external approach microsurgery and conventional external approach surgery for retinal detachment(RD).METHODS: From January 2010 to January 2013, 60 patients(60 eyes)in our hospital were randomly divided into experimental group(29 cases, 29 eyes)and control group(31 cases, 31 eyes), the external approach microsurgery and conventional external approach surgery were performed respectively(by the same skilled doctor). Retinal reattachment rate, visual acuity improvement rate and operative time were compared between two groups. RESULTS: It cost shorter time for the external approach microsurgery than that of conventional external approach surgery(P=0.0087). The once successful retinal reattachment rate in experimental group was 93%(27 cases), which was higher than that in control group(90%, 28 cases), there was no statistical difference. The vision improvement rate in control group was 86%(25 cases), compare to 90%(28 cases)in experimental group, there was no statistical differences. CONCLUSION: No statistical differences showed in visual acuity improvement and the once retinal reattachment rate between the two groups for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. However, it is believed that external approach microsurgery could be faster, easier to learn with satisfactory effect.

AIM: To compare the safety, efficacy, predictability, stability and complications of wavefront-guided laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy(LASEK)in low myopia, myopic astigmatism and high myopia correction.METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 416 eyes were assigned to 3 groups: 159 eyes with low myopia(LM)and mean refractive spherical equivalent(MRSE)of -3.68±1.33 dioptre(D); 161 eyes with myopic astigmatism(MA)and MRSE of -5.99±2.24D and mean cylinder of 2.41±1.07D; and 96 eyes with high myopia(HM)and MRSE of -7.41±0.80D. After an epithelial flap creation, a wavefront-based excimer laser ablation was performed. Safety, efficacy, predictability and stability were evaluated at day 10, 2, 6 and 12mo postoperatively.RESULTS:At 12mo, the MRSE was -0.36±0.31D in LM group, 0.15±0.41D in MA group and 0.58±0.68D in HM group. The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)was 20/20 in 90.60% of patients in LM group, 78.90% in MA group and 67% in HM group. Efficacy indices were 0.98, 1.04 and 0.92 in LM, MA and HM groups, respectively. Safety indices were 1.00, 1.07 and 1.05 in LM, MA and HM respectively. Five eyes(3.1%)in the LM group gained 1 line. Forty-four eyes(27.3%)in MA gained 1-3 lines and eighteen eyes(19.2%)of HM group gained 1-2 lines of BSCVA. Only 2 eyes in LM group developed corneal haze. There were not statistically significant differences in efficacy and safety indices amongst three groups. CONCLUSION: Wavefront-guided LASEK is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of LM, MA, and HM.although in myopic astigmatism the predictability, efficacy and safety indices had been better.
