[A case of solitary fibrous tumor of the conjunctiva].

A patient presented with a chief complaint of a conjunctival mass in the right eye for 5 days. The slit-lamp examination revealed a reddish oval mass, about 3 mm in diameter, in the nasal conjunctiva of the lower central fornix, with a clear boundary, smooth surface, toughness by touch, good activity, no bleeding, and no tenderness. The tumor was excised completely. Solitary fibrous tumor of the conjunctiva was diagnosed by pathological examination.

[The effect of extended depth of focus contact lenses on the accommodation of presbyopic eyes].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of extended depth of focus contact lenses on the accommodation of presbyopic eyes. Methods: It was a double-blind randomized controlled trial. Thirty eyes of 30 emmetropic volunteers (15 males, 15 females) who were staff or family members of Hainan Eye Hospital, aged (49.6±4.5) years, were selected. Non-dominant eyes were fitted with soft contact lenses with an extended depth of field. The subjects and examiners were double-blind. Visual acuities of the subjects were examined at 5 m, 40 cm and 60 cm distance before and after the contact lens wear. Meanwhile, the monocular accommodative amplitude, monocular accommodative facility (±1.00 D), accommodative response, binocular positive/negative relative accommodation and accommodation convergence/accommodation at 40 cm distance were measured. The data were analyzed by paired t test and Wilcoxon signed rank test before and after the contact lens wear, and a P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Before and after the contact lens wear, the visual acuity at 40 cm was 4.59±0.14 and 4.69±0.10, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.16, P<0.01). The visual acuity at 60 cm was 4.74±0.10 and 4.74±0.12, and the difference had no statistical significance (t=0.626, P>0.05). The distance visual acuity was 5.00±0.06 and 4.96±0.06, and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.89, P<0.01). The monocular accommodative amplitude was significantly improved from (3.26±0.26) D to (4.00±0.51) D (t=7.59, P<0.01). The monocular accommodative facility was also significantly improved from (2.67±1.60) cyc/min to (3.53±1.87) cyc/min (t=2.17, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the positive and negative relative accommodation (t=1.90, 0.66; P>0.05). The accommodation convergence/accommodation and adjustment lag had no statistical significance (Z=0.83, 0.11; P>0.05). Conclusion: Wearing contact lenses with an extended depth of field can improve the near vision and accommodation of presbyopes (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57:292-296).

[Blocking effects of serum antibodies against HBGA binding to norovirus GII.4 of population in oyster culture area of Guangdong Province].

Objective: Evaluate GII.4 norovirus infection and blocking effects of serum antibodies against HBGAs binding to GII.4 norovirus of population in oyster culture area, provide references for screening of fully human monoclonal antibody. Methods: Using a random survey method to collect blood and saliva samples in oyster culture area, select serum samples from the inland region of Guangdong as control group. Identification of salivary HBGA receptor phenotype and detection of serum antibody levels between two areas by ELISA. A vitro neutralization model was to determine the efficiency of serum antibodies blocking GII.4 norovirus and HBGA receptors binding. Results: The age were (50.68 ± 15.17), (52.52 ± 15.90) and (51.37 ± 13.32) years old of 2015, 2016 in experimental group, and in control group, respectively. Males accounted for 5.9% (70/195), 36.6%(60/164), 40.8% (69/169) (χ(2)=0.93, P=0.334). The mean value of serum antibodies Absorbance value was 2.521±0.05 of 2015 and was 2.583±0.045 of 2016 in oyster culture area, the mean value was 2.249±0.05 in control group, there was a statistical difference among three group (F=13.28, P<0.001). The antibody prevalence in the three groups was 100%. BT50 geometric mean titer (GMT) of oyster culture area in 2015 was 423.1±40.11, culture group was 248.2±25.63, there was a statistical difference (t=3.73, P<0.001). Conclusion: The population in oyster culture area does have more chance of exposure and infection GII.4 norovirus, Serum antibody of blocking ability in oyster culture areas is better than the general population in inland city. Suggesting that the population is more immunity resistant infected GII.4 norovirus.
