Atropine 0.01% eye drops slow myopia progression: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of atropine 0.01% on slowing myopia progression.

Methods: We searched for relevant studies in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Ovid, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wan Fang Data in Chinese.

Association between fetal macrosomia and risk of obesity in children under 3 years in Western China: a cohort study.

Background: Fetal macrosomia, defined as birth weight equal or over 4000 g, is a major concern for both neonatal and maternal health. A rapid increasing trend in fetal macrosomia is observed in different regions of China. We aimed to examine the association between fetal macrosomia and risk of childhood obesity in Western China.

A novel frame-shift mutation c.703_704delTA in a Chinese pedigree with neurofibromatosis type 1.

We analyzed the clinical features and gene mutation in a Chinese pedigree of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Three members of this family were NF1 patients presenting with different clinical phenotypes and the others were asymptomatic. Exons of were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, sequenced, compared with a reference database.

Clinical Analysis of 1593 Patients with Infectious Endophthalmitis: A 12-Year Study at a Tertiary Referral Center in Western China.

Background: Infectious endophthalmitis is a severe ocular inflammation which can cause devastating visual loss. The aim of the study was to identify the demographic and clinical features of infectious endophthalmitis in Western China for better prophylaxis and treatment of this disease.

Methods: A.

[Primary uveal lymphoma effectively treated with radiotherapy: a case report and literature review].

Primary uveal lymphoma is a type of intra-ocular lymphoma. Unlike the intra-ocular lymphomas involving the retina and vitreous, primary uveal lymphoma generally has a low-grade nature and an indolent clinical course. It is a relatively rare condition, and the diagnosis can be challenging.

[Purtscher-like retinopathy associated with antibiotic anaphylaxis].

We report a case of an 18-year-old woman with systemic antibiotic anaphylaxis who presented anasarca and bilateral visual loss two weeks after the intravenous use of pazufloxacin. Ancillary fundus tests revealed bilateral cotton-wool spots, Purtscher flecken, edema, and retinal arteriolar occlusion around the optic disc. After pulse corticosteroid, administration of anti-anaphylactic agent, and general support therapy for one month, the patient showed a favorable change, with the symptoms lessened or free systemically, except the continuous aggravation of fundus ischemic change.

Changes in Body Mass Index, Leptin, and Leptin Receptor Polymorphisms and Breast Cancer Risk.

Obesity is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. The polymorphisms of leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) may be associated with breast cancer by regulator of adipose tissue mass and tumor cell growth. A total of 794 cases and 805 matched controls were sequentially enrolled.

ipRGCs: possible causation accounts for the higher prevalence of sleep disorders in glaucoma patients.

Sleep accounts for a third of one's lifetime, partial or complete deprivation of sleep could elicit sever disorders of body function. Previous studies have reported the higher prevalence of sleep disorders in glaucoma patients, but the definite mechanism for this phenomenon is unknown. On the other hand, it is well known by us that the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) serve additional ocular functions, called non-image-forming (NIF) functions, in the regulation of circadian rhythm, melatonin secretion, sleep, mood and others.
