ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To compare the results of the three methods of Suresight handheld autorefractor, table-mounted autorefractor and retinoscopy in examination of juveniles patients with or without cycloplegia. @*METHODS@#Firstly, 156 eyes of 78 juveniles (5 to 17 years old) were examined by using WelchAllyn Suresight handheld autorefractor and NIDEK ARK-510A table-mounted autorefractor with or without cycloplegia; secondly, retinoscopy was performed with cycloplegia. @*RESULTS@#The spherical power measured by methods without cycloplegia were significantly greater than those measured with cycloplegia (P0.05). These results were highly consistent, suggesting a tendency towards a short sight. However, the spherical power and cylindrical power measured by table-mounted autorefractor was significantly different (P<0.05); with cycloplegia, there was significant difference in spherical power between Suresight handheld autorefractor and retinoscopy (P<0.05). @*CONCLUSION@#Cycloplegic retinoscopy is necessary for juvenile refraction examination. Under natural pupil situation, Suresight handheld autorefractor is better than table-mounted autorefractor, though both show a myopia tendency. Nevertheless, table-mounted autorefractor can be taken as a recommendation for the prescription of lens trial. As a strong reference for subjective optometry, retinoscopy should be the gold standard for measuring refractive errors.

[Objective]To analyze the clinical features of spinal fracture of the injured in Wenchuan Earthquake and to summarize the medical rescue.[Method]The clinical data of 94 injured cases with spinal fracture in the earthquake were collected and analyzed,including the general condition,injury mechanism,associated injuries and the rescue measures.[Result]The incident rate of the male was much higher than that of the female,the incidence of spinal fracture was high in 21~60-years old;the associated injuries were found in 54 cases,taking up 57.4%.The spinal fracture typing showed that 89 cases had flexion-compression fracture and burst fracture,taking up 94.7%.[Conclusion]Earthquakes cause a large amount of the injured with spinal fracture,who are evacuated within a concentrated time,the injuries are severe with many associated injuries.Scientific organization and reasonable division are critical in the immediate medical rescue of the injured in large quantity within the shortest time.
