Ciliary body detachment after secondary intraocular lens implantation in childhood

Dear Sir,Iam Dr.Li-Na Meng,from the Qingdao Eye Hospital,Shandong Eye Institute,Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences,Qingdao,China.I want to present a rare case of secondary intraocular lens(IOL)implantation in an11-year-old boy who developed the complication of ciliary body detachment.When he was 2 years old,the boy underwent bilateral cataract extraction for congenital cataract in the other

Corrosion Behavior and Biocompatibility of Hydroxyapatite Coating on H_2SO_4 Passivated 316L SS for Human Body Implant

The aim of this studies at simultaneous improvement of the corrosion behavior and biocompatibility of metallic implant and bone Osseointegration simultaneously. Stainless steel 316L （SS） was used as metallic substrate and after surface treatment with 15 vol.% sulfuric acid, it was coated with hydroxyapatite coating employing plasma - spraying process. Structure characterization techniques including XRD, SEM and EDX were also utilized to investigate the microstructure, morphology, and crystallinity of the coating. Electrochemical potentiodynamic tests were performed in two types of physiological solutions in order to determine and compare the corrosion resistance behavior of the coated and uncoated specimens as an indication of biocompatibility. The results indicate that the surface treatment and hydroxyapatite coating improve the corrosion resistance behavior of SS. The corrosion current density of the surface treated and the hydroxyapatite coated SS also decrease. These also show that surface treated and hydroxyapatite coated SS can be used as human body implants with the goals of corrosion resistance improvement （biocompatibility） and bone osseointegration.

Assessment of Spinal Tumor Treatment Using Implanted 3D-Printed Vertebral Bodies with Robotic Stereotactic Radiotherapy

To investigate the feasibility and early efficacy of 3D-printed vertebral body implantation combined with robotic radiosurgery in the treatment of spinal tumors.This study included 14 patients with spinal tumors from December 2017 to June 2018.Before surgery,all patients were subjected to CT scan and 3D data of the corresponding vertebral segments were collected.Titanium alloy formed 3D-printed vertebral body implantation and robotic stereotactic radiotherapy were performed because of the risk of postoperative residual,high risk of recovery,or recurrence after surgery.The main outcomes included the remission of symptoms,vertebral body stability,robotic stereotactic surgical precision,and local tumor control.All patients received complete and successful combination therapy,and all healed primarily without complications.The error of the coverage accuracy for robotic radiosurgery was less than 0.5 mm,and the error of the rotation angle was less than 0.5
.The therapeutic toxicity was limited(mainly in grades 1–2),and adverse events were uncommon.The evaluation of vertebral body stability and histocompatibility for all patients met the postoperative clinical requirements.For patients with post spinal injury,the pain symptoms were reduced or disappeared(93%),and nerve function was improved or even recovered after treatment(100%).During our follow-up period,most tumors were locally well controlled(93%).3D-printed vertebral body implantation combined with robotic radiosurgery may offer a new treatment of spinal tumors.Chinese clinical trial registry:ChiCTR-ONN-17013946.
