[Effects of magnesium supply level on growth, nutrient element absorption and distribution, and quality of Panax quinquefolium].

This study aims to investigate the effects of different magnesium supply levels on the growth, nutrient absorption and distribution, and quality of Panax quinquefolium, and to determine the optimum content of exchangeable magnesium in soil. Three-year-old plants of P. quinquefolium were used in this study, and eight magnesium supply gradients(CK, Mg1-Mg7) were designed for indoor pot experiment(cultivation in soil).

Differential expression and function of survivin during the progress of pterygium.

Purpose: To investigate the expression pattern and function of survivin in the development of pterygium.

Methods: Primary pterygia at quiescent or advanced clinical stage and normal human conjunctival tissues were used in this study. Pterygium epithelial cells (PECs) were cultured in keratinocyte serum-free defined medium and harvested at different growth stages.

Fibrin glue-assisted for the treatment of corneal perforations using glycerin-cryopreserved corneal tissue.

Aim: To evaluate the outcomes and safety of lamellar keratoplasty (LK) assisted by fibrin glue in corneal perforations.

Methods: Six eyes of 6 patients affected by different corneal pathologies (2 posttraumatic corneal scar and 3 bacterial keratitis) underwent LK procedures by using fibrin glue. The mean corneal perforation diameter was 1.

[Corneal collagen crosslinking in the treatment of infectious keratitis].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for the treatment of infectious keratitis.

Methods: Noncomparative interventional case series.19 patients with infectious keratitis admitted to our hospital between November 2011 and January 2012 were recruited into this study, CXL was performed when medications combined proved poor therapeutic effects.

[A brief history of diagnosis and treatment of Pterygium in China and outside China].

Pterygium, an old and commonly occurred eye disease, featuring obvious proliferation of triangular tissues grown in the bulbar conjunctiva which may also invade the cornea. Despite uncertainty about optimal treatment for pterygium, significant progress in pathological theory that a pterygium comprises a potentially highly proliferative tissue and the shortage of stem cells in the corneal margin has been made in the past year in understanding the pathogenesis of this enigmatic disease. These advances have influenced the surgical and medical approach to the management of this common and often recurrent disease.

[Abnormal epithelial differentiation and tear film alteration in pterygium].

Objective: To investigate the differentiation and proliferation of the conjunctival epithelium and tear film function in pterygia.

Methods: It was a retrospective study. Fifteen patients (15 eyes) who underwent excision for pterygium were enrolled in this study.

[Fibrin glue-assisted lamellar keratoplasty for the treatment of corneal ulcer].

Objective: To investigated the feasibility of fibrin glue-assisted sutureless lamellar keratoplasty (LK) in patients with corneal ulcer.

Methods: Noncomparative interventional case series. In 21 eyes of 21 patients with terriens marginal degeneration (TMD) or corneal ulcer after trauma, sutureless lamellar keratoplasty (LK) using fibrin glue was performed.

[Non-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty for treating iridocorneal endothelial syndrome in phakic eyes].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and clinical effects of non-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (nDSEK) on treating iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome in phakic eyes.

Methods: Retrospective noncomparative interventional case series. 7 patients (7 eyes) with ICE syndrome at the Affiliated Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University from January 2008 to December 2009 underwent non-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty.

[Preliminary clinical study of non-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty for bullous keratopathy].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of non-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty for bullous keratopathy.

Methods: In the prospective consecutive case series, 6 patients (6 eyes) with bullous keratopathy at Affiliated Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University from September 2007 to January 2009 underwent non-Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty. During the surgical procedures, the recipient's Descemet membrane and endothelial layer were left untreated.
