Influence of lens position as detected by an anterior segment analysis system on postoperative refraction in cataract surgery.

Aim: To predict postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) position using the Sirius anterior segment analysis system and investigate the effect of lens position and IOL type on postoperative refraction.

Methods: A total of 97 patients (102 eyes) were enrolled in the final analysis. An anterior segment biometry measurement was performed preoperatively with Sirius and Lenstar.

[Association study on the microRNA-1 target gene polymorphism and the risk of premature coronary artery disease].

Objective: To investigate the association between the genetic variant of miRNA-1 target gene COG6 rs9548934 C→T and the risk of premature coronary artery disease (pCAD).

Methods: This study included 226 pACD patients and 275 gender and age matched pCAD-free controls hospitalized in our hospital, diagnosis was made based on coronary angiography (CAG) results. The genotypes of miRNA-1 target gene COG6 rs9548934 C→T were detected by PCR-RFLP.

[Detection of hantaan virus from gamasid mite and chigger mite by molecular biological methods].

Objective: To study the proliferation and location of hantaan virus (HV) in gamasid mites and chigger mites.

Methods: HV RNA in gamasid mites and chigger mites were detected by reverse transcription, polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) and in situ hybridization.

Results: The smallest quantity of mite from which HV RNA could be detected was 5 mites group.
