Methods We studied 408 eyes of 250 myopic patients who received LASIK. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to preoperative diopters (- 6 .00D- -10 .00D, 194 eyes;-10.10D- -15 .00D, 214 eyes). Mean period of follow-up were 12 months and the results were statistically analyzed. Results 12 months after surgery, in the first group (- 6.00--10.00D) the regressionequal to or beyond -1 .0D were 21 eyes (10.8%), range from -1 .0D to - 3 .0D. The average regression was -1.33D. In the second group (- 10 .10D - - 15 .00D) regression equal to or beyond -1.0D were 78 eyes (36.5%), range from -1 .0D to -5.50D. The average regression was -1 .99D. Conclusion The results indicate that excimer LASIK can be used to treat myopia between -6 .00D-- 15 .00D effectively with minimal regression within 12 months. Preoperative thin corneas with intraoperative small ablation zone could induce regression . Some modification of the surgical algorithms and laser nomogram will help to improve predictability and reduce regression.展开更多

The tensile curves of deformed and annealed aluminum show that yield strength of deformed aluminum increases by 100%-300% and its elongation decreases by about 20%. After low temperature annealing, strength of annealed aluminum increases by 20% and elongation decreases by over 50%, the recovery of dislocations may be the main cause of annealing strengthening. In addition, there is an abrupt stress drop in the tensile curves of annealed aluminum and the formation of shear band is responsible for it.展开更多
