ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the changes of corneal biomechanical indexes after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis ( LASIK ) , so as to provide theoretical basis for the safety study of femtosecond laser LASIK.?METHODS: Totally 85 myopia patients ( 170 eyes ) treated in our hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were selected and underwent femtosecond laser LASIK surgery. The medical records of patients met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Corneal compensated intraocular pressure ( IOPcc ) and corneal resistance factor ( CRF ) , corneal hysteresis ( CH ) and Goldmann correlated to IOP value ( IOPg ) before operation, and at 3 and 6mo after surgery were measured by the ocular response analyzer, and central corneal thickness was measured by A type ultrasonic measuring instrument.?RESULTS:At postoperative 3 and 6mo, central corneal thickness was sharply lower than that before surgery, with a statistical significance ( P<0. 05 ); postoperative IOPcc, CRF, CH, IOPg and other corneal biomechanical parameters decreased distinctively, with statistical meaning ( P<0. 05 ); data at postoperative 3 and 6mo showed no evident differences ( P>0. 05 ); the cornea cutting thickness was 98. 67 ± 7. 56μm, CH and CRF variation were 3. 40 ± 0. 34mmHg, 3. 55 ± 0. 43mmHg respectively, the cornea cutting thickness was positively correlated with CH, CRF variation ( r=0. 232, 0. 254; P<0. 001).? CONCLUSION: Femtosecond laser LASIK can apparently reduce corneal thickness as well as the corneal biomechanical indexes, the data at postoperative 3mo tends to be stable.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate curative effects of excimer laser corneal refractive surgery for adults or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia.METHODS: From March 2014 to March 2016, we selected 26 cases 26 eyes of adults or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia in our hospital.All eyes underwent laser in situ keratomileusis, observed for the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), diopter and stereopsis.RESULTS: At the end of the follow-up, the patient`s spherical equivalent and anisometropia were 1.47±0.51D and 1.15±0.22D, were significantly lower than that before operation (P<0.05).At the end of the follow-up, the distance and near UCVA and BCVA were 0.26±0.13 and 0.23±0.09, 0.42±0.09 and 0.31±0.16, which were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.05).At the end of follow-up, the visual function of the patients was significantly improved (P<0.05), the rate of postoperative visual function < 100 eyes was 23%.CONCLUSION: In adult or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia, excimer laser corneal refractive surgery has a certain effect.
ABSTRACT
The biosynthesis of the vancomycin aglycone involves three oxidative phenol coupling reactions, each catalyzed by a discrete cytochrome P450-like enzyme. Studies on the mechanism and specificity of the enzyme (called OxyB) catalyzing the first coupling, require access to suitable linear peptide precursors, each conjugated as a thioester to a peptide carrier domain of the vancomycin non-ribosomal peptide synthetase. An efficient route to representative free linear peptides is described here. The method makes use of Alloc-chemistry during solid-phase assembly of the peptide backbone, but importantly and in contrast to earlier efforts, largely avoids the use of amino acid side chain protecting groups. In this way, the target linear peptides can be released directly from the solid support under very mild conditions.
