Often ophthalmologists use the measurement made from the corneal endothelium to the anterior lens surface, using only attachment No II (method B), which is a simpler and faster method. This study examined agreement between methods A and B. Methods: Two studies were conducted independently by each author. PHA measured 127 (27 men, 100 women; mean age, 66.9 years) consecutive Danish patients referred for evaluation because of possible angle closure. RRB measured 109 subjects (30 men, 79 women; mean age, 61.3 years) consecutively from a population based glaucoma survey in Rom Klao, Thailand. Results: Using method A, mean ACD was 1.97 mm (SD 0.29) in the Danish study and 2.59 mm (SD 0.27) in the Thai study. ACD measured with method B was significantly (p< 0.001 ) deeper than method A in both studies (Danes: difference =0.118 (95%CI: 0.109 to 0.127); Thais: difference=0.166 mm (95%CI: 0.158 to 0.174)). With an increase in ACD of 1 mm, the methodological difference increased by 0.052 mm (regression formula: difference (B-A)=0.0667 ×mean ACD -0.0148; R2=0.31). This positive correlation did not differ significantly between the two studies. Conclusions: The relevance and importance of estimating ACD as a risk factor in primary angle closure glaucoma suspects and patients has been repeatedly emphasised. This is the first empirical study to quantify the difference in ACD using these two methods in two samples, one clinic based (angle closure suspects) and the other population based. The size of the methodological difference has a level that corresponds to the age reduction of ACD per decade, or to about 6%of ACD in a given eye. These findings highlight the importance of clinicians recognising that these two methods will give different results and recommend that one should standardise ACD measurements using the Haag-Streit optical pachymeter.展开更多

In order to obtain better hydrophilic and lower platelets adhesion, monomer vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) is grafted onto the hydrophobic polyacrylate intraocular lens surface in a certain reaction conditions. Specific changes in intraocular lens are detected by static contact angle (CA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light transmittance. The results show that this surface modification can greatly improve its hydrophilic character and surface formation.展开更多

Controlling the shape of Rh nanocrystals offers an effective route to the optimization of their catalytic performance owing to a close correlation between the catalytic activity/selectivity and the surface atomic structure. It also helps to substantially reduce the loading amount and thus achieve a sustainable use of this scarce and precious metal. In this review article, we focus on recent progress in the shape-controlled synthesis of Rh nanocrystals with the goal of enhandng their catalytic properties. Both traditional and newly- developed synthetic strategies and growth mechanisms will be discussed, including those based on the use of surface capping agents, manipulation of reduction kinetics, control of surface diffusion rate, management of oxidation etching, and electrochemical alteration. We also use two examples to highlight the unique opportunities offered by shape-controlled synthesis for enhancing the use of this metal in catalytic applications. The strategies can also be extended to other precious metals in an effort to advance the production of cost-effective catalysts.展开更多
