ABSTRACT
Molybdenum disulfide ( MoS2) quantum dots ( QDs) were synthesized using one-step hydrothermal method with an acceptable fluorescence property. Based on the quenching effect between doxycycline hyclate ( DOX) and MoS2QDs, a fluorescence method for detection of DOX was established. The interaction between MoS2QDs and DOX was discussed with a final proposal of the static quenching mechanism. A good linear correlation for detection of DOX using fluorescenct MoS2QDs was obtained in the concentration range of 0. 86-55. 40 μg/mL, with a detection limit of 0. 023 μg/mL (S/N=3). The fabricated sensor was applied to the detection of DOX in real samples with RSDs of less than 5% . The relative error of determination results of MoS2QDs method compared with HPLC was from -4. 5% to 0. 8% and -4. 6% to 2. 8% for DOX tablet and DOX spiked milk, respectively. The fluorescence detection of DOX in real sample using MoS2QDs was simple, rapid and reliable.
ABSTRACT
Background Increase of lens thickness at incipient cataract is a key factor of onset of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).Phacoemulsification (Phaco) or phacotrabeculectomy (Phacotrabe) have been documented to be effective for the patients of PACG associated with cataract.However,which surgery is more effective and safe is lack of evidence.Objective This study was to assess and compare the clinical effectiveness of Phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract.Methods The relevant literature was searched electronically from the PubMed (1966 to June 2011),EMB Reviews (1966 to June 2011) and Cochrane Library (Issue 1,2011).The manually searching of relevant conference proceedings was used as the supplement.The articles of randomized controlled trial (RCT) about the clinical effectiveness of Phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract were included.The methodology quality of included literature was graded.The analysis indexes included intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowing range,postoperative administration of glaucoma drugs,incidence of positive complication,postoperative best corrective visual acuity (BCVA) and perimetry damage.The RevMan4.2 software from Cochrane Collaboration was used for the Meta analyses.Results Three RCTs about phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract were selected in this study with the 164 eyes of 164 cases.Meta analysis showed that the IOP-lowing range was larger in the Phacotrabe group compared to only Phaco group with the WMD of 1.17 and 95％ CI of 0.06-2.27 (P =0.040),and the drug dosage of anti-glaucoma was less in the Phacotrabe group in comparison with the Phaco group with the WMD of 0.5 and 95％ CI of 0.24-0.77 (P =0.000).However,the incidence of postoperative complication was higher in the Phacotrabe group than that of the Phaco group with the RR of 0.08 and 95％ CI of 0.02-0.33 (P =0.000).No significant difference was found in the BCVA (WMD =0,95％ CI:-0.13-0.13,P=1.00) andperimetry (WMD =1.01,95％CI:0.56-1.82,P=0.98).Conclusions Compared with Phaco,Phacotrab has a better IOP-lowing effectiveness and slightly worse safety.Phaco and Phacotrab have a fairly influencc in the postoperative BCVA and perimetry.As the sample sizes of the included trials are relatively small,more welldesigned large-scale RCTs are needed.
ABSTRACT
Background Surgical induced astigmatism induced by a 5.5mm of superior scleral tunnel incision is a key cause of influencing vision outcome in the high myopic eyes after implantation of Artisan phakic intraocular lens(IOL).Objective This study was to evaluate the surgical induced astigmatism through a 5.5mm superior scleral tunnel incision during the implantation of Artisan phakic IOL.Methods This was a case observational study.The clinical data of 202 eyes of 111 patients with Artisan IOL implantation for high myopia from October 2004 through October 2008 was collected.The patients were followed-up for 12 months.The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA),best spectacle-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),spherical equivalent(SE),cylinder equivalent(CE) and cylinder axis were examined before surgery and postoperative 1,3,6,12 months.The patients were divided into with rule group and against rule group according to the cylinder axis.Surgery-induced astigmatism value was calculated using Holladay vector analysis formula.This clinical trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of Guangdong General Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to the surgery.Results The UCVA of 195 eyes(94.1%) was 0.5 or better in postoperative 12 months,and that of 172 eyes(85.1%) showed the improvement of BCVA during the follow-up duration.The mean CE values were reduced in 1,3,6,12 months after surgery in comparison with before surgery(t=-4.30,P=0.00;t=-2.27,P=0.01;t=-2.04,P=0.04;t=-2.79,P=0.01).Vector analysis of total surgically induced astigmatism revealed that the mean incision-induced astigmatism value was +1.94D,+2.26D,+2.29D,+2.25D at 171°,170°,181°,175° in 1,3,6,12 months after surgery.The surgery-induced astigmatism was(+1.97±1.84)D,(+2.25±1.75)D,(+2.27±1.76)D,(+2.24±1.75)D in with rule group at postoperative 1,3,6,12 months respectively;while those in against rule group was(+1.75±1.88)D,(+2.35±1.74)D,(+2.38±1.76)D,(+2.34±1.74)D respectively.No significant differences were found between the two groups(t=0.54,-0.29,-0.27,-0.29;P=0.59,0.78,0.79,0.78).Conclusion Implantation of Artisan IOL is an effective approach for correction of high myopia.A 5.5mm superior scleral tunnel incision in operation induces a +2.25D astigmatism at 175° meridian.
