ABSTRACT
AlM:To compare the effect of different incision in corneal astigmatism after phacoemulsification. METHODS: Totally 88 cases ( 122 eyes ) with pure cataract were randomly divided into two groups. Forty cases (60 eyes) were clarity corneal incision in group A, and 48 cases ( 62 eyes ) were sclera tunnel incision in group B. Mean corneal astigmatism, surgically induced astigmatism ( SlA ) , uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) and best correct vision acuity ( BCVA ) were observed in pre- and post-operation at 1d;1wk;1mo. RESULTS: The mean astigmatism had statistically significant difference between two groups at 1d; 1wk;1mo after operation(P0. 05). UCVA≥0. 5 and BCVA≥0. 8 had statistically significant difference at 1d; 1wk ( P0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Phacoemulsification with scleral tunnel incision remove combined intraocular lens ( lOL ) implantation has small changes to corneal astigmatism. By selecting personalized corneal incision according to the corneal topography might be more beneficial.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To review the current status of the determination of the bacterial endotoxin in traditional chinese medicine injections with the limulus lysate test, and to evaluate the feasibility of this test for the determination of the bacterial endotoxin in these injections.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The data related to the topic was collected, analyzed and summarized.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The limulus lysate test was not available for most of traditional chinese medicine injections due to the interference. And the same injection may uield different test results because of different factories, batch numbers, different techniques and preparational conditions.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There is still a long way to go to apply the limulus lysate test to the determination of the bacterial endotoxin in traditional chinese medicine injections.</p>
