RESUMEN
AIM: To compare the accuracy of different intraocular lens(IOL)calculation formulas in cataract patients with axial length longer than 28mm and a history of radial keratotomy(RK).METHODS: Retrospective study. The medical records of 19 cataract patients(29 eyes)after RK and with axial length longer than 28mm who underwent cataract surgery from January 2011 to July 2020 in Beijing Tongren Hospital were analyzed. The absolute error(AE)of the difference among three different formulas was calculated. AE refers to the absolute value between the actual spherical equivalent after cataract surgery and the spherical equivalent predicted by the IOL formula. The AE values of the three formulas and the percentages of eyes with AE≤0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 2.0D were calculated and compared.RESULTS: The AE values of the three formulas were significantly different(χ2=8.759, P=0.013). The Barrett True-K formula had the smallest median AE, which was only 0.62(0.20, 1.15)D, followed by the Haigis formula 0.76(0.34, 1.26)D, and the Holladay 1(D-K)formula had the largest 1.01(0.49, 1.62)D. The percentages of affected eyes with AE ≤0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 2.0D for the Barrett True-K formula were 48%, 59%, 69%, and 93%, which were equal to or higher than the other two formulas.CONCLUSION: The Barrett True-K formula is more recommended among the three formulas for cataract patients after RK and with axial length longer than 28 mm.

@#AIM:To analyze the prevalence and influence factors of macular choroidopathy secondary to high myopia, so as to better understand the development of macular choroidopathy in patients with high myopia.<p>METHODS: The current study carried out a retrospective analysis on highly myopic patients aged 40 and above(2016-01/2019-07). A total of 232 patients(461 eyes)with high myopia were included. The fundus images and OCT results of all patients were evaluated to divide the cases into two main categories, non-choroidopathy 99 patients(255 eyes)and choroidopathy 133 patients(206 eyes), with choroidopathy including choroidal atrophy and choroidal neovascularization. The statistical analysis on the prevalence of different disorders and the multivariate regression between the influence factors were performed.<p>RESULTS: The prevalence of macular choroidopathy was 36.0%(166 eyes), of which, the prevalence of choroidal atrophy was 19.5%(90 eyes), and the prevalence of choroidal neovascularization was 16.5%(76 eyes). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that axial length was the influence factor of choroidal atrophy(P<0.01), age and axial length were the influence factors of choroidal neovascularization(all P<0.01), gender, age and axial length were the influence factors of choroidopathy(all P<0.01).<p>CONCLUSION: Choroidal atrophy and choroidal neovascularization were prone to occur in patients with high myopia, and the prevalence was higher in women. In addition, the prevalence increased with the increase of age and diopter.
RESUMEN
In order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of automatic seizure detection, the paper proposes a method based on improved genetic algorithm optimization back propagation (IGA-BP) neural network for epilepsy diagnosis, and uses the method to achieve detection of clinical epilepsy rapidly and effectively. Firstly, the method extracted the linear and nonlinear features of the epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and used a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to perform cluster analysis on EEG features. Next, expectation maximization (EM) algorithm was used to estimate GMM parameters to calculate the optimal parameters for the selection operator of genetic algorithm (GA). The initial weights and thresholds of the BP neural network were obtained through using the improved genetic algorithm. Finally, the optimized BP neural network is used for the classification of the epileptic EEG signals to detect the epileptic seizure automatically. Compared with the traditional genetic algorithm optimization back propagation (GA-BP), the IGA-BP neural network can improve the population convergence rate and reduce the classification error. In the process of automatic detection of epilepsy, the method improves the detection accuracy in the automatic detection of epilepsy disorders and reduced inspection time. It has important application value in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.

@#Posterior scleral reinforcement surgery is a common method for the treatment for high myopia, which can strengthen the intensity of sclera and inhibit the progression of high myopia. The posterior scleral reinforcement materials are very important, including biological materials such as pericardium, donor sclera, umbilical cord, dura mater, acellular allograft dermis and so on; non biological synthetic materials such as polyester fiber, polyester mesh sponge and plasma-modified silicone graft and so on. These materials were used in the experimental animals and clinical patients, and showed obvious effect on controlling the progress of high myopia.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the characteristics of pain in children with spastic and dyskinetic cerebral palsy,and to explore the influence of pain on the functional independence and rehabilitation. Methods A self-made Pain Questionnaire for Children with Cerebral Palsy was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 125 children who were diagnosed as spastic and dyskinetic cerebral palsy from January to October,2017,and the returned questionnaires were analyzed.According to the pain questionnaires,the subjects were divided into pain group(n=40)and no pain group(n=85).Then,15 cases of spastic cerebral palsy and 15 cases of dyskinetic cerebral palsy were selected in each group.Both of them received routine rehabilitation.They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure-88(GMFM-88),Fine Motor Function Measure(FMFM)and Wee Functional In-dependence Measure(WeeFIM),and the adductor angle,popliteal angle and foot dorsiflexion angle were record-ed before,and four weeks and eight weeks after treatment. Results The pain characteristics of spastic and dyskinetic cerebral palsy were different.Four weeks and eight weeks af-ter treatment,all the indexes improved in both groups(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in all the in-dexes before and four weeks after treatment between two groups (t<1.732, P>0.05), however, all the indexes were significantly better in the no pain group than in the pain group eight weeks after treatment (t>2.119, P<0.05). Conclusion The pain characteristics are different in children with spastic and dyskinetic cerebral palsy.The pain may af-fect their rehabilitation and functional independence.
