Objective::To evaluate the clinical safety and effectiveness of a dry eye physiotherapy instrument in the treatment of dry eyes.Methods::This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical study. Eligible patients with mild and moderate dry eyes in Henan Institute of Ophthalmology, Suzhou Kowloon Hospital and Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from July to November 2018 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. The control group were treated with 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops 4 times a day, 1 drop each time for 4 weeks (28±5 days). The experimontd group were treated with dry eye physiotherapy instrument once a day for at least 15 minutes for 4 weeks (28±5 days). The ocular surface of patients were evaluated before treatment and 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment, and their effectiveness was analyzed; The subjective symptoms of dry eye, tear film rupture time (BUT), Schirmer I test and corneal fluorescein sodium staining were evaluated before and 4 weeks after treatment. The total symptom score was calculated and the effective rate was analyzed. The measurement data were compared by t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, and the constituent ratio and efficiency were compared by Chi square test or Fisher exact probability method. Non inferiority verification method was used to compare the difference between the two groups, and the non inferiority limit was set as Δ= 10%, if the lower 95% confidence interval of the difference between the treatment effective rate of the control group and that of the experimental group is greater than-Δ (-10%), it is inferred that the curative effect of the experimental group is not inferior to that of the control group. Results::One hundred and twelve patients were involved, including 41 males and 71 females; and, there was no significant difference in the total score of symptoms and the ocular surface conditions between both eyes of the two groups in the baseline. In the follow-up population, there was no significant difference in ocular surface conditions between the two groups after 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatmen (right: t=0.15, P=0.880; left: t=0.19, P=0.850). After 4 weeks of treatment, there was no significant difference in the total score of symptoms between both eyes of the two groups (right: t=0.20, P=0.840; left: t=0.43, P=0.670). The effective rate of the experimontd group was 72.7%, while that of the control group was 64.8% and there was no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). There were 2 adverse events in the experimental group and 1 adverse event in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion::The effective rate of eye physiotherapy device is 72.7% in treatment of mild or moderate dry eyes, which is not inferior to 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops, and has high safety.

Objective: To investigate the in vitro antibacterial sensitivity of levofloxacin, tobramycin, cefazolin sodium, clindamycin and fusidic acid to 67 strains of Staphylococci in ocular surface infection. The purpose of this study is to provide reference for clinical selection of drugs. Methods: Experimental study. Sixth-seven strains of drug-resistant Staphylococci isolated from the Department of Microbiology, Henan Provincial Ophthalmic Hospital during January 2018 and May 2019 were collected. There were 67 strains of Staphylococci including 28 strains of drug-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidi, 17 strains of drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 15 strains of drug-resistant Staphylococcus intermedius and a few other kinds of drug-resistant Staphylococci. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC) of levofloxacin, tobramycin, cefazolin sodium, clindamycin and fusidic acid in 67 strains of drug-resistant Staphylococci were determined by microliquid-based method. The sensitivity was determined according to the American CLSI-M100 standard. The statistical analysis of the data was carried out by using two-dimensional test and Fisher accurate test. Results: Fourteen strains of fusidic acid were sensitive to 17 strains of MRS-Meca-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, the difference between fusidic and levofloxacin is statistically significant; 14 strains of cefazolin sodium and 11 strains of fusidic acid were sensitive to 14 strains of β-Lac enzyme-producing Staphylococcus aureus, and there were significant differences between the two drugs and levofloxacin; 6 strains of cefazolin sodium and 5 strains of fusidic acid were sensitive to 10 strains of MRS-Meca-resistant Staphylococcus intermedius, as compared to levofloxacin, there were significant differences between cefazolin sodium and levofloxacin (P=0.011,0.033). Cefazolin sodium was sensitive to 5 strains of MRS-Meca-positive other drug-resistant Staphylococci, which was significantly different from levofloxacin (P=0.048); 54 and 48 strains of cefazolin sodium and fusidic acid were sensitive to 67 strains of drug-resistant Staphylococci, and the sensitive rates were 80.1% and 71.6%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of levofloxacin, tobramycin and clindamycin. There were significant statistical differences between drug sensitivity (χ²=18.377,9.940;P=0.000,0.003). Conclusions: The sensitivity of cefazolin sodium and fusidic acid to 67 strains of drug-resistant Staphylococci is better than that of levofloxacin, tobramycin and clindamycin, these findings may provide guidance for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant Staphylococci in ocular infection.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of topical voriconazole in patients with fungal keratitis caused by different fungal species.METHODS:Interventional case series. Eighty-four patients aged 18 years or older from central China with confirmed fungal keratitis who presented at the outpatient department of Henan Eye Institute were enrolled in the study. The patients underwent in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy examination, coneal scraping and microscopic examination and fungal culture, and then received topical voriconazole, closed curative effects were conducted. The sensitivity of three different diagnostic techniques, spectrum of the fungi, cure rate for fungal corneal infection related to each species were analyzed.RESULTS:In our study, 84 patients were diagnosed with fungal keratitis based on clinical symptoms, and results of at least one of the examinations of in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy, conventional smear, and corneal scraping culture and the sensitivity were 92.85%(78/84), 85.71%(72/84), 84.52%(71/84)respectively. In viro confocal scanning laser microscopy. Successful management was achieved in 83.33% of the patients. Topical voriconazole treatment failed in 14 patients(16.67%), who required surgical treatment. In 36 patients with Fusarium corneal infections, 26(72.22%)were successfully treated with topical voriconazole; however, in 18 patients with Aspergillus corneal infections and 7 patients with Alternaria corneal infections, 94.44% and 100.00% of them were successfully treated, respectively. In a case-based dynamic tracking study, in vivo confocal microscopy provided real-time dynamic detection of surviving hyphae. The existence of hyphae was(38.35±17.32)days for Fusarium,(25.00±16.11)days for Aspergillus,(21.00±4.36)days for Alternaria, and(41.50±31.68)days for the focus in the deep stroma. The duration of treatment was similar for all four groups.CONCLUSIONS:Topical application of voriconazole is on effective method for the freatment of fungal keratitis Topical voriconazole is highly effective for fungal keratitis caused by Alternaria spp. and Aspergillus, however, for Fusarium, it is relatively low effective.

OBJECTIVE:To detect the genotypes and in vitro antifungal susceptibility of Fusarium isolated from patients with fungal keratitis in central China.METHODS:Partial translation elongation factor (EF) 1-α of 758 strains of Fusarium isolated from patients with fungal keratitis in Henan Eye Institute during 2002 to 2011 were sequenced. Species and genotypes of Fusarium were identified by conducting BLAST searches of the Fusarium ID database with partial EF1-α sequences as the query. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of vorionazole, ketoconazole, terbinafine, natamycin, 5-flucytosine, fluconazol, amphotericin B, nystatin, econazole, clotrimazole, miconazole and itraconazole to 145 isolates of Fusarium were determined by microbroth dilution method according to Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M38-A program.RESULTS:Among the 758 strains of Fusarium isolates, species of 653 strains were identified. 99.69% of the Fusarium strains were identified by EF1-asequences as Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC), Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) and Gibberella fujikuroi species complex (GFSC), 0.31% as Fusarium sp. Among the 653 isolates from cornea, FSSC was the predominant Fusarium, 386 isolates (59.11%), with 43 genotypes. The most common seen FSSC genotype was FSSC5-d (132/20. 21%), followed by FSSC3+4-eee (58/8.88%), FSSC3+4-ii (37/5.67%) and FSSC3+4-z (31/4.75%). The second complex was GFSC, 254 isolates (38.90%), with 3 species which were F.proliferatum (124 strains/18.99%), F.verticillioides (112 strains/17.15%) and GFSC (18 strains/2.76%) respectively. The third complex was FOSC, 11 (1.68%) strains, with 6 genotypes. The results of in vitro drug sensitivity test showed that Fusarium strains were sensitive to natamycin, vorionazole and amphotericin B, resistant to 5-fluorocytosine, fluconazole, nystatin, clotrimazole, miconazole. More than 50% of Fusarium strains were sensitive to econazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine. The MIC50 of FSSC to vorionazole, miconazole, terbinafine, Econazole and natamycin was higher than that of F.verticillioides, F.proliferatum and GFSC respectively.CONCLUSIONS:The predominant Fusarium complex of fungal keratitis in central China was FSSC, followed by GFSC. 43 genotypes were included in FSSC in which the most common seen FSSC genotype was FSSC5-d, followed by FSSC3+4-eee, FSSC3+4-ii and FSSC3+4-z. GFSC contained 3 species which were F.proliferatum, F.verticillioides and GFSC respectively. Different genotypes of Fusarium from keratitis had different susceptibility to vorionazole, terbinafine, natamycin and miconazole.

It has been claimed for more than a century that atmospheric new particle formation is primarily influenced by the presence of sulfuric acid. However, the activation process of sulfuric acid related clusters into detectable particles is still an unresolved topic. In this study we focus on the PARADE campaign measurements conducted during August/September 2011 at Mt Kleiner Feldberg in central Germany. During this campaign a set of radicals, organic and inorganic compounds and oxidants and aerosol properties were measured or calculated. We compared a range of organic and inorganic nucleation theories, evaluating their ability to simulate measured particle formation rates at 3 nm in diameter (J(3)) for a variety of different conditions. Nucleation mechanisms involving only sulfuric acid tentatively captured the observed noon-time daily maximum in J(3), but displayed an increasing difference to J(3) measurements during the rest of the diurnal cycle. Including large organic radicals, i.e. organic peroxy radicals (RO2) deriving from monoterpenes and their oxidation products, in the nucleation mechanism improved the correlation between observed and simulated J(3). This supports a recently proposed empirical relationship for new particle formation that has been used in global models. However, the best match between theory and measurements for the site of interest was found for an activation process based on large organic peroxy radicals and stabilised Criegee intermediates (sCI). This novel laboratory-derived algorithm simulated the daily pattern and intensity of J(3) observed in the ambient data. In this algorithm organic derived radicals are involved in activation and growth and link the formation rate of smallest aerosol particles with OH during daytime and NO3 during night-time. Because the RO2 lifetime is controlled by HO2 and NO we conclude that peroxy radicals and NO seem to play an important role for ambient radical chemistry not only with respect to oxidation capacity but also for the activation process of new particle formation. This is supposed to have significant impact of atmospheric radical species on aerosol chemistry and should be taken into account when studying the impact of new particles in climate feedback cycles.

Objective To investigate the microbial profiles and clinical features on suture erosions and abscesses after therapeutic corneal transplantation. Methods Of 11 consecutive cases of suture erosions and abscesses after therapeutic corneal transplantation were enrolled within 2 years, including 9 cases fugal keratitis and 2 cases recurrent stromal keratitis with perforation. In each case, both bacterial and fungal cultures were taken from eroded sutures and conjunctival sac. Clinical features on suture erosions and abscesses were recorded, including therapeutic regimen and results. Results All episodes of suture erosions and abscesses occurred within 3 months postoperatively, on average 31.8 days. Of the 11 cases, 3 had positive cultures and,suture and cul-de-sac cultured micro-organisms matched in 2 cases. Suture erosion and abscess were primarily located superior and palpebral fissure area, with 4 (36.3%) superiorly and 3 (27.3%) palpebrally. Graft rejection in 2 cases was determined clinically. Removal of involved sutures and sensitive topical antibiotic were employed and all cases healed within 1 week. Conclusions Suture erosions and abscesses after therapeutic corneal transplantation occur on early stage, associating with eyelid rubbing, loosening of sutures, contamination and inflammation of bed. Most cases are sterile, gram-positive bacteria are most common cultured organisms in infected ones. Therapeutic strategies are removal of involved sutures and sensitive topical antibiotic. Diagnosis and treatment in a timely fashion contribute to good prognosis.
