Trabeculectomy function after cataract extraction

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of cataract extraction (CE) after trabeculectomy on intraocular pressure (IOP) control. DESIGN: Retrospective noncomparative case series. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 115 consecutive patients who underwent extracapsular CE (N = 58) or phacoemulsification (N = 57) with intraocular lens (IOL) placement after trabeculectomy were studied. INTERVENTION: Cataract extraction with IOL after trabeculectomy was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors were evaluated for association with loss of IOP control requiring additional medications, bleb needling, or further glaucoma surgery, using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox multivariate proportional hazards survival regression. RESULTS: After mean postoperative follow-up of 21.1 +/- 14.3 months, additional glaucoma medication or needling of the filtering bleb to maintain IOP control was required in 35 eyes (30.4%) and was significantly associated with intraoperative iris manipulation and early postoperative peak IOP greater than 25 mmHg. Additional glaucoma surgery was eventually required in 11 eyes (9.6%) and was significantly associated with age of 50 years or younger, preoperative IOP greater than 10 mmHg, and early postoperative peak IOP greater than 25 mmHg. The cumulative proportion of patients who did not require reoperation for glaucoma was 93% and 90% at 1 and 2 years, respectively. The mean IOP at last visit had increased 1.6 mmHg above the pre-CE level and did not vary significantly after the first postoperative month. The median interval from CE to the addition of glaucoma medication or bleb needling was 1.6 months (within 3 months in 20 of 33 eyes) and that from nonsurgical intervention to further glaucoma surgery was 3.6 months (before the 7th postoperative month in 6 of 11 eyes). Of 19 eyes with hypotony (IOP < or = 6 mmHg) before CE, 11 eyes remained hypotonous after CE despite an increase in the mean IOP from 4.6 to 7.5 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS: When CE is performed after trabeculectomy, age of 50 years or younger, preoperative IOP greater than 10 mmHg, intraoperative iris manipulation, and early postoperative IOP greater than 25 mmHg are associated with worsened postoperative IOP control. Most bleb failures occur soon after CE. Resolution of pre-existing hypotony after CE is unpredictable.

Relationship between mutagenic effects of drinking water and incidence of liver cancer in Fusui County--a prevalent area

Relationship between mutagenic activity of drinking water and incidence of liver cancer was studied in Fusui County with micronucleus technique in the root tips of vicia faba. Results showed there existed substance that caused chromosome aberration in the drinking pond water of Fusui County. Micronucleus effects on the root tips of vicia faba induced by the substance in different kinds of drinking water coincided with the incidence of liver cancer (r = 0.86, P < 0.05). It suggested the existence of these chemical mutants in the water may be one of the important factors that caused high incidence of liver cancer. It provided experimental evidence for the etiological theory of liver cancer caused by the pollution of drinking water.     

Detection of optic disc changes with Glaucoma-Scope probability maps

Before use of cardiovascular surgical techniques and procedures in humans, many experiments, e.g., hypothermic circulatory arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass using the heart-lung machine, have been performed in the dog. As a consequence experimental canine cardiovascular surgery is highly developed. This has not resulted in the routine performance of open heart surgery in veterinary medicine, probably because of the high costs. Cardiovascular surgery in the dog is generally limited to interventions not depending on hypothermic circulatory arrest or cardiopulmonary bypass. The clinical cardiovascular surgery in dogs can be divided into routine and more specialized interventions. The first category includes correction of peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia, pericardial fenestration in dogs with pericardial effusion, treatment of persistent right aortic arch, and patent ductus closure. The specialized interventions include dilation of pulmonic and aortic stenoses and pacemaker implantation. The diagnosis and surgical treatment of such diseases is described. New developments in cardiovascular surgical treatment that can be expected include catheter techniques for occlusion of shunts and dilations using balloons, because the financial costs of these procedures are not prohibitive.     

Chinese and American college students'' body-image: perceived body shape and body affect

We established an in vitro model of the phagocytosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by human peripheral blood monocytes to evaluate the subsequent inhibition of intracellular replication of the organism. Highly purified T cells (94% CD3(+)/CD16(-)) or natural killer (NK) cells (96% CD16(+)/CD3(-)) isolated by Percoll discontinuous density gradient of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were incubated with M. tuberculosis-infected monocyte monolayers. Monocytes were lysed immediately and at 4, 7, and 10 d after infection for quantification of intracellular replication, which was assessed by quantitative plating techniques as colony-forming units (CFU). Whereas control monocytes permitted intracellular replication, T cells activated monocytes to kill 77% (p < 0.01) of intracellular M. tuberculosis compared with control monocytes by 10 d after infection. NK cells activated monocytes to kill 84% (p < 0.01) of M. tuberculosis in comparison with control monocytes. Lymphokine (IL-2)-activated-killer (LAK) cells were capable of activating monocytes to kill 97% (p < 0.01) of the intracellular organisms compared with control monocytes. In purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive donors, PPD-specific-CD4(+) lymphocytes stimulated monocytes to kill intracellular M. tuberculosis in a Class II major histocompatibility complex-restricted manner. In contrast, in PPD-negative donors, CD4(-) lymphocytes activated monocytes in a genetically unrestricted manner. Both T cell supernatant and NK cell supernatant generated from cocultivation with M. tuberculosis-infected monocytes also activated monocytes to augment mycobactericidal function. In conclusion, T cells, NK cells, LAK cells, and their supernatants activated mycobactericidal function of monocytes, although these pathways of activation differed in terms of antigenic specificity and genetic restriction.

On effective execution of nonuniform DOACROSS loops

It is extremely difficult to parallelize DOACROSS loops with nonuniform loop-carried dependences. In this paper, we present a static scheduling scheme with an accompanying synchronization strategy that can execute such DOACROSS loops effectively and efficiently. Our approach uses one of the parallelization techniques called Dependence Uniformization, which finds a small set of uniform dependence vectors to cover all possible nonuniform dependences in a DOACROSS loop. It differs from the previous schemes in that we demonstrate a better way to select the uniform dependence vectors. When used with the Static Strip Scheduling scheme, the proposed uniform dependence vector set allows us to enforce dependences with more locality, which reduces the requirement of explicit synchronization considerably while retaining most of the parallelism. This paper describes the uniform dependence vectors selection strategy and the static strip scheduling scheme. The performance analysis and examples are also presented
