Aim: To evaluate the effect of lens surgery on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of preschool children with congenital ectopia lentis (CEL).

Methods: A prospective self-controlled study was conducted in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. Children aged from 5 to 7y whom were diagnosed with CEL and underwent phacoemulsification with scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and their parents were enrolled in this study.

Aim: To assess the inter-device consistency of corneal curvature and central corneal thickness between Pentacam and a swept-source Fourier-domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in ectopia lentis patients.

Methods: Totally 72 eyes of ectopia lentis patients were recruited. Central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal curvature values and corneal astigmatism were obtained from both the Pentacam and AS-OCT (CASIA2).

Environmental sediment dredging is one of the most common methods for the remediation of contaminated sediments in lakes; however, debate continues as to whether the effectiveness of dredging methods contributes to this phenomenon. To determine sediment resuspension and nutrient release following dredging with a variety of dredging methods, four dredging treatments at wind speeds of 0-5.2 m/s were simulated in this study, namely suction dredging (SD), grab dredging (GD), ideal dredging with no residual sediments (ID), and non-dredging (ND).

Aim: To elucidate the trends and characteristics of congenital ectopia lentis (CEL) in southern China.

Methods: CEL patients from China admitted to Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) from January 2006 to December 2015 were recruited in our study. Residence, gender, hospitalization time, age at surgery, and the presence of other ocular abnormalities and system disease were statistically analyzed in different subgroups.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the anti-tumor effects of Xihuang pill on tumor-bearing rats, focusing on its impact on immune functions.
  • A rat model with Walker256 tumor cells was used, dividing rats into five groups for a 14-day treatment period with varying doses of Xihuang pill.
  • Results showed a 33.1% tumor inhibition rate in the high dose Xihuang pill group, with significant reductions in certain immune markers compared to the control group.
