Transcranial alternating current stimulation for schizophrenia: a systematic review of randomized controlled studies.

Background: In randomized clinical trials (RCTs) investigating the application of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) in schizophrenia, inconsistent results have been reported. The purpose of this exploratory systematic review of RCTs was to evaluate tACS as an adjunct treatment for patients with schizophrenia based on its therapeutic effects, tolerability, and safety.

Methods: Our analysis included RCTs that evaluated adjunctive tACS' effectiveness, tolerability, and safety in schizophrenia patients.

Results: Totally 699 publications were included in the final analysis.

[Research progress on camptothecin and its derivative nano-prodrugs based on tumor microenvironment response].

Nano-prodrug, one of the most widely used nano-formulation at present, has excellent efficacies in tumor treatment with high potential and clinical value. Camptothecin and its derivatives have broad prospects in the preparation of prodrugs for the treatment of tumors. Given the special microenvironment of tumors, including partial acidity, high concentration of reactive oxygen species, high concentration of glutathione and enzyme concentration, a large number of tumor microenvironment-responsive camptothecin and its derivative prodrugs were prepared.

Ferula ferulaeoides (Steud.) Korov. is a perennial herb that belongs to Umbelliferae (Apiaceae).

Effect of lens constants optimization on the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation formulas for highly myopic eyes.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of different lens constant optimization methods on the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas for highly myopic eyes.

Methods: This study comprised 108 eyes of 94 consecutive patients with axial length (AL) over 26 mm undergoing phacoemulsification and implantation of a Rayner (Hove, UK) 920H IOL. Formulas were evaluated using the following lens constants: manufacturer's lens constant, User Group for Laser Interference Biometry (ULIB) constant, and optimized constant for long eyes.

Timing and approaches in congenital cataract surgery: a four-year, two-layer randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To compare visual prognoses and postoperative adverse events of congenital cataract surgery performed at different times and using different surgical approaches.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, we recruited congenital cataract patients aged 3mo or younger before cataract surgery. Sixty-one eligible patients were randomly assigned to two groups according to surgical timing: a 3-month-old group and a 6-month-old group.

Eye health is everyone's responsibility: China's first Western-style eye hospital improves in the prevention of blindness.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between China's first Western-style eye hospital development and the prevention of blindness in China and determine the main factor influencing eye health today.

Methods: Data about eye health, blindness and cataract surgery rate of China from public website of World Health Organization (WHO), ORBIS International, Ministry of Health (MOH) of China, Pubmed center and Historical Archives of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) were reviewed and analyzed.

Results: ZOC is China's first Western-style eye hospital.

[Spinal muscular atrophy mimicking myotonic dystrophy: a case report and clinical, pathological and genetic analysis].

Objective: To investigate a patient featuring a complex neuromuscular disease phenotype.

Methods: A comprehensive analysis integrating clinical investigation, electrophysiological testing, pathological analysis and mutation screening was carried out.

Results: The patient has presented clinical and pathological manifestations mimicking Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

[Comparison of stability of acrylic intraocular lens and transparency of lens capsule using Pentacam Scheimpflug System].

Objective: To compare the amounts of intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt, the anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the degree of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) using the Pentacam Scheimpflug System after cataract surgery between eyes with 1-piece acrylic IOL and 3-piece acrylic IOL.

Methods: It was a perspective study. Fifty-one patients with bilateral senile cataract had implantation of a 1-piece SA60AT IOL in one eye and a 3-piece MA60BM IOL in the contralateral eye.

[Comparison of clear corneal on-axis and temporal incisions for Acrysof Toric intraocular lens implantation].

Objective: To investigate whether there are some differences in the accuracy of Acrysof Toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and the ability to correct astigmatism between 2 types of clear corneal incisions used in phacoemulsification: the on-axis (i.e on the steeper corneal meridian) and the temporal clear corneal incision (OCCI and TCCI, respectively).

Methods: In this prospective study, thirty-nine eyes with cataract and mild to moderate corneal astigmatism (1.

[Changes of blood-aqueous barrier after phacoemulsification in patients with previous glaucoma filtering surgery].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of trabeculectomy and/or phacoemulsification surgery on blood-aqueous barrier function.

Methods: Phacoemulsification with implantation of intraocular lens was performed on 46 cataract eyes of 40 glaucoma patients following previous trabeculectomy (group 1), and 64 cataract eyes of 60 patients (group 2). The aqueous flare and cells were examined preoperatively and on days 1, 7, 30, 90 postoperatively using a laser flare-cell meter (LFCM).
