Evaluation of axial length/total corneal refractive power ratio as a potential marker for ocular diagnosis of Marfan's syndrome in children.

Aim: To investigate whether the axial length (AL)/total corneal refractive power (TCRP) ratio is a sensitive and simple factor that can be used for the early diagnosis of Marfan's syndrome (MFS) in children.

Methods: The relationship between the AL/TCRP ratio and the diagnosis of MFS for 192 eyes in 97 children were evaluate. The biological characteristics, including age, sex, AL, and TCRP, were collected from medical records.

[The progress of proteomics approaches in cataract research].

Researches on lens proteomics are becoming prevalent in recent years. Characterized by their high resolution and efficiency, proteomics approaches provide reliable methodological support for lenses proteomic research, which demonstrates a new orientation for revealing the mechanism of cataractogenesis. This review outlines the separation, identification and some novel approaches of proteomic techniques applied in recent lenses proteomic research.

[Clinical study of diffuse lamellar keratitis after laser in situ keratomileusis].

Objective: To investigate a new clinical grading scale of diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to observe the clinic outcomes of eyes treated with corresponding classified therapy.

Methods: It was a prospective case-control study. Eyes that developed DLK after LASIK were diagnosed by a new criterion of clinical grading scale based on both severity and scope of inflammatory cells infiltrations in the corneal interface.
