Objective:To study the effect of ultrasound guided transabdominal plane block (TAPB) on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) .Methods:From Jan. 2017 to Jan. 2022, 285 patients who underwent LSG surgery in the Department of General Surgery, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups, including 145 patients in TAPB group and 140 patients in the control group (The TAPB group was injected with ropivacaine; the control group injected with physiological saline) . Data between TAPB group and control group were compared, including operation related data, postoperative acute pain assessment, and postoperative recovery assessment.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in ASA grading, operation duration, awakening time, extubation time or intraoperative hemodynamic index. The dosage of remifentanil [ (2.0±0.6) vs (2.9±0.9) mg], sufentanil [ (24.7±2.5) vs (50.0±3.2) μg], and dexmedetomidine [ (60.0±0.4) vs (65.0±0.5) μg] in TAPB group was significantly reduced compared with that in the control group, and there was no significant difference in the dosage of propofol. The VAS score and NRS score of resting state and motor state in TAPB group at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 h after operation were significantly lower than those in the control group. In TAPB group, the first use time of PCIA [ (2.0±0.8) vs (1.1±0.9) h] was significantly prolonged, the number of effective pressing of PCIA (3±1 vs 5±2) within 48 hours and the incidence of rescue analgesia in wards (19.3 % vs 31.4 %) were significantly lower than those in the control group. The frequency (3.0±1.5 vs 3.6±1.8) and severity (2.8±1.4 vs 3.4±1.8) of PONV and the incidence of additional antiemetic drugs (15.9 % vs 27.9 %) in TAPB group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The ambulation time [ (1.4±0.3) vs (1.5±0.3) h] and exhaust time [ (1.2±0.9) vs (1.4±1.0) h] in TAPB group was significantly earlier than those in the control group. There was no significant difference in postoperative length of hospitalization.Conclusion:TAPB for LSG can significantly reduce postoperative pain and PONV, reduce the use of opioid analgesics and antiemetics, and promote recovery of patients.
Résumé
OBJECTIVE@#This study assesses the impact of iodine-rich processed foods and dining places on the iodine nutritional status of children.@*METHODS@#School-aged children (SAC) in seven provinces in China were selected by school-based multi-stage sampling. Urinary iodine, salt iodine, and thyroid volume (TVOL) were determined. Questionnaires were used to investigate dining places and iodine-rich processed foods. The water iodine was from the 2017 national survey. Multi-factor regression analysis was used to find correlations between variables.@*RESULTS@#Children ate 78.7% of their meals at home, 15.1% at school canteens, and 6.1% at other places. The percentage of daily iodine intake from water, iodized salt, iodine-rich processed foods, and cooked food were 1.0%, 79.2%, 1.5%, and 18.4%, respectively. The salt iodine was correlated with the urinary iodine and TVOL, respectively (r = 0.999 and -0.997, P < 0.05). The iodine intake in processed foods was weakly correlated with the TVOL (r = 0.080, P < 0.01). Non-iodized salt used in processed foods or diets when eating out had less effect on children's iodine nutrition status.@*CONCLUSION@#Iodized salt remains the primary source of daily iodine intake of SAC, and processed food has less effect on iodine nutrition. Therefore, for children, iodized salt should be a compulsory supplement in their routine diet.

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic action and mechanism of intrathecal 2R, 6R-hydroxynorketamine (2R, 6R-HNK) on spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) in female mice. MethodsSNI was used to establish acute and chronic CNP models in female mice. The mice were randomly divided into different groups with administration of vehicle, 2R, 6R-HNK or S-ketamine (10 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection/i.p. or 7, 21 μmol/L intrathecal injection/i.t.) at 3 weeks after or 30 min/1 d before operation (n = 3 - 7 mice/group). The curative or preventive effect of 2R, 6R-HNK was evaluated by mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and the analgesic efficiency. Finally, immunofluorescence and RT-PCR of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn (SDH) were used to explore the possible mechanisms. ResultsCompared with vehicle, intrathecal injection of 2R, 6R-HNK largely reversed SNI-induced bilateral mechanical allodynia in a delayed-and-dose-dependent way. Among them, 21 μmol/L 2R, 6R-HNK reached its maximum analgesic efficiency (75.32±7.69) % at 2 d. Pre-intrathecal delivery of 2R, 6R-HNK also delayed the development of bilateral mechanical hypersensitivity 2 - 3 d induced by SNI. Mechanically, 2R, 6R-HNK reversed not only the abnormal excitability of neurons in bilateral DRG and superficial SDH, but also the upregulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and brain-derived nerve growth factor (BDNF) in DRG. ConclusionIntrathecal administration of 2R, 6R-HNK exerts an analgesic effect against CNP, probably via suppressing abnormal neuronal excitability in ascending pain pathway as well as down-regulating CGRP and BDNF expression in DRG neurons.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether there exists gender differences in mechanical pain hypersensitivity induced by the subcutaneous injection of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in normal mice and to explore the preliminary mechanism. MethodsThirty 10-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups, (n = 10 mice/group, half male and half female). The albumin control group (BSA, 0.3 μg), low dose M-CSF group (L M-CSF, 0.075 μg) and high dose M-CSF group (H M-CSF, 0.3 μg) received 50 μL BSA or M-CSF injected subcutaneously into the left medial thigh once daily for 3 consecutive days. Before and after drug administration, von-Frey mechanical sensitivity test was used to detect the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) in each group. Immunofluorescence was performed to examine the expression changes of Ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) in skin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK) in L5-L6 DRG and lumbar spinal dorsal horn. ResultsIn female mice, only high dose of M-CSF caused mechanical allodynia, whereas in male mice both doses produced marked allodynia. Mechanically, high-dose M-CSF induced massive aggregation of subcutaneous macrophages (marked by Iba1) in male and female mice, but more dramatic dependence in female mice. Similar gender differences were also found in the increase of p-ERK and CGRP expression in dorsal root ganglion (DRGs). Notably, CGRP expression was especially elevated in the fibers of DRG in male mice. Correspondingly, the expressions of p-ERK and CGRP+ terminals in the superficial spinal dorsal horn of male mice were significantly higher than those of female mice after M-CSF treatment. ConclusionSubcutaneous injection of M-CSF triggers sexual dimorphism in mechanical pain hypersensitivity, which is related with differential changes in peripheral macrophage expansion and sensitization of the nociceptive pathway.

AIM:To evaluate the effects of intermittent exotropia(IXT)on the quality of life of children and their parents using the Chinese version of intermittent exotropia questionnaires(CIXTQ).METHODS: The scores of CIXTQ were collected from IXT children and the same number of age-matched control children in department of ophthalmology, Nanjing Children's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021. They were the Chinese version of intermittent exotropia questionnaires scores(CIXTQ, for children to assess their health related quality of life), the parental proxy CIXTQ(pp-CIXTQ, for parents to assess children's life quality)scores and the parent CIXTQ(p-CIXTQ, for parents to assess their life quality)scores. To explore: 1)The differences in the CIXTQ, pp-CIXTQ and p-CIXTQ scores between IXT children and the normal children; 2)The relationship between the CIXTQ and pp-CIXTQ scores in IXT children; 3)The factors affecting the quality of life in children with IXT.RESULTS: A total of 156 patients with IXT and 156 age-matched normal children were included. CIXTQ scores in the children with IXT group was lower than that in the control group(t=-12.915, P<0.001). In IXT group, there was no difference observed in CIXTQ or pp-CIXTQ scores(t=-0.718, P=0.473). As suggested by item-level analysis, children in the IXT group were more concerned about how others think of them and their vision, whereas parents were more concerned about whether the child needs surgery, and whether the permanent damage of strabism caused to the eyes of their children and whether strabismus affects their social life.CONCLUSION: The CIXTQ performed better in distinguishing the children with IXT and those with normal condition, and it can accurately predict the impact of IXT on children, and benefit to make personalized treatment regimens.

Objective:To evaluate the changes in the systemic circulation and microcirculation in the patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia in Xining area.Methods:A total of 27 patients, aged 18-60 yr, underwent gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia in Xining area (2 260 m), of long lived (more than two generations) Han nationality, with no alternating life between plateau and plain, with no cardiopulmonary abnormalities, were enrolled.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil, etomidate, and cisatracurium and maintained with propofol, remifentanil and cisatracurium.At 5 min before induction of anesthesia (T 1), 10 min after induction of anesthesia (T 2), 1 h after start of operation (T 3), immediately after the end of operation (T 4), and 30 min after recovery from anesthesia (T 5), systemic circulation indexes including cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume variability (SVV), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded, and sublingual microcirculation indexes including total vascular density (TVD), perfused vessel density (PVD), portion of perfused vessels (PPV), and microvascular flow index (MFI) were determined by sidestream dark field imaging. Results:Systemic circulation Compared with the baseline at T 1, CO and HR were significantly decreased at T 2-4, SVV was decreased at T 5, SVRI was increased at T 3 and T 4, and MAP was decreased at T 2 ( P<0.05). Compared with those at T 2, CO and SV were significantly increased at T 5, SVV was decreased at T 5, SVRI was increased at T 3 and T 4, and MAP was increased at T 4 and T 5 ( P<0.05). Compared with those at T 3, SV was significantly decreased at T 4, CO was increased at T 5, and SVV and SVRI were decreased at T 5 ( P<0.05); Compared with those at T 4, CO, SV and HR were significantly increased at T 5, and SVV and SVRI were decreased at T 5 ( P<0.05). Microcirculation Compared with those at T 1, TVD, PVD, PPV and MFI were significantly decreased at T 2-4, and PPV and MFI were decreased at T 5 ( P<0.05). Compared with those at T 2, TVD was significantly increased at T 5, PVD was increased at T 4 and T 5, and PPV was increased at T 3 and T 4 ( P<0.05). TVD was significantly higher at T 5 than at T 3( P<0.05). TVD was significantly higher at T 5 than at T 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The density of microcirculation and blood flow rate are decreased after induction of general anesthesia and during anesthesia operation, which are most significant at the initial stage after induction, and decoupling between systemic circulation and microcirculation occurs during operation and anesthesia resuscitation in the patients at high altitude.

Objective:To evaluate the role of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-2 (NOD2) in dorsal root ganglion in the development of neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods:Thirty-two adult male SPF Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 240-260 g, aged 2-3 months, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), NP group (group S), negative control siRAN group (group N), and NOD2-siRNA group (group R). In N and R groups, 1×10 8 IFU/ml negative control siRNA and NOD2-siRNA 10 μl were intrathecally injected, respectively, once a day for 3 consecutive days.Normal saline 10 μl was intrathecally injected once a day for 3 consecutive days in C and S groups.The model of NP was established using spared nerve injury (SNI) at 2 weeks after intrathecal injection.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured at 1 day before surgery and 1, 3, 7, 10, 14 and 28 days after SNI.Animals were sacrificed after measuring pain threshold on day 28, and the dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) of the lumbar segment (L 4-6) were removed for determination of the expression of NOD2 (by Western blot) and expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6 and NOD2 mRNA (using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). Results:Compared with group C, MWT was significantly decreased at each time point after SNI, and the expression of NOD2 protein and mRNA and TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in DRGs was up-regulated in group NP ( P<0.01). Compared with group NP, MWT was significantly increased at each time point after SNI, and the expression of NOD2 protein and mRNA and TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in DRGs was down-regulated in group R ( P<0.01), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group N ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism underlying the development of NP may be related to the up-regulation of NOD2 expression in DRGs, thus further promoting the expression of pro-inflammatory factors in rats.

@#【Objective】Due to the tough nature of skin tissue and a high presence of RNases,the isolation of skin RNA by the classical Trizol method presents a challenge. Therefore,we adapted and tested different sample treatment protocols to improve the Trizol method for high- quality extraction of skin RNA.【Methods】In this study,normal skin of mice processed by different treatments(Tri:submersion Trizol;Pro:RNA sample protector;Cry:cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen frozen and then - 80 ℃ refrigerator;LNG:liquid nitrogen grinding;Cut:scissor cutting)were used as the experimental groups. Spinal cord tissue(Sp)was used as the reference group,and skin tissue of mouse psoriasis model induced by imiquimod(IMQ)was used as the validation group. We compared skin RNA concentration,purity and integrity, as well as IL- 1β mRNA expression extracted by conventional Trizol methods(1-Tri,Nor)and modified Trizol methods(2-Tri,LNG-Tri,Tri-Cut,Pro),which were determined by UV spectrophotometry,agar gel electrophoresis and quantitative reverse transcription PCR(qRT- PCR).【Results】① Compared with spinal cord(Sp),the total RNA of normal skin tissue extracted with the same classical Trizol method(1-Tri)was with lower yields,more obvious DNA contamination and 5S RNA bands,and higher IL-1β mRNA relative expression,suggesting that skin tissue was relatively special and the classical Trizol methods of skin RNA extraction should be improved. ② Among the different treatment methods of skin tissue,2-Tri and LNG-Tri methods resulted in higher RNA concentrations,lower RNA degradation and lower DNA contamination,and the expression of IL-1β mRNA was closer to normal levels. More importantly,the skin RNA samples extracted by the 2-Tri method can reflect more realistically the variation of IL-1β mRNA expression between normal and psoriasiform groups.【Conclusion】Improved 2-Tri or LNG-Tri method has the advantage of high quality of total RNA,and 2-Tri can more reliably reflect the mRNA expression pattern under physiological and pathological conditions.

Objective@#To investigate the relationship between V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF)V600E mutation and metastasis after thyroidectomy in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with different recurrence risk stratification.@*Methods@#From March 2014 to September 2017, 134 PTC patients (45 males, 89 females; age: 16-72 years) who underwent 131I treatment in the Department of Nuclear Medicine of Liaocheng People′s Hospital and had undergone BRAFV600E mutation detection were retrospectively analyzed. The recurrence risk during surgery was divided into 3 levels: low-, medium- and high-risk. Each recurrence risk group was divided into 3 subgroups according to the postoperative follow-up results: non-metastasis group, cervical lymph node metastasis group and pulmonary metastasis group. BRAFV600E mutation rates in different groups were compared (χ2 test).@*Results@#The BRAFV600E mutation rate was 55.22%(74/134) in 134 PTC patients. The mutation rates were not significantly different in the 3 metastasis subgroups for low-risk patients (n=46; χ2=2.39, P>0.05). In medium-risk patients (n=47), the mutation rate in neck lymph node metastasis group (16/19) was higher than that in pulmonary metastasis group (3/8) and non-metastasis group (25.00%, 5/20; χ2 values: 5.89 and 13.75, both P<0.05), while there was no difference between pulmonary metastasis group and non-metastasis group (χ2=0.44, P>0.05). In high risk patients (n=41), the mutation rate in neck lymph node metastasis group (85.00%, 17/20) was higher than that in the pulmonary metastasis group (5/13) and non-metastasis group (1/8; χ2 values: 7.68 and 13.08, both P<0.01), while there was no difference between pulmonary metastasis group and non-metastasis group (χ2=1.64, P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#The BRAFV600E mutation is closely related to neck lymph node metastasis after operation in middle- and high-risk patients with PTC, but it does not significantly increase the probabilities of neck lymph node metastasis in low-risk patients and pulmonary metastasis in low-, medium- and high-risk patients.

In this study, we improved the culture method of mouse hippocampal primary microglia to obtain hippocampal ramified microglia with high activity and purity, which were resemble to the resting status of normal microglia in healthy brain in vivo. Hippocampal tissue was excised from 2-4-week-old SPF C57BL/6J mice and cut into pieces after PBS perfusion, and then manually dissociated into the single-cell suspension by using Miltenyi Biotec's Adult Brain Dissociation Kit. The tissue fragments such as myelin in the supernatant were removed by debris removal solution in the kit. The cell suspension was incubated with CD11b immunomagnetic beads for 15 min at 4 °C. To obtain high-purity microglia, we used two consecutive cell-sorting steps by magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS). After centrifugation, the cells were resuspended and seeded in a 24-well culture plate. The primary microglia were cultured with complete medium (CM) or TIC medium (a serum-free medium with TGF-β, IL-34 and cholesterol as the main nutritional components) for 4 days, and then were used for further experiments. The results showed that: (1) The cell viability was (56.03 ± 2.10)% by manual dissociation of hippocampus; (2) Compared with immunopanning, two-step MACS sorting allowed for efficient enrichment of microglia with higher purity of (86.20 ± 0.68)%; (3) After being incubated in TIC medium for 4 d, microglia exhibited branching, quiescent morphology; (4) The results from qRT-PCR assay showed that the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and CCL2 mRNA in TIC cultured-microglia were similar to freshly isolated microglia, while those were much higher in CM cultured-microglia after incubation for 4 d and 7 d (P < 0.05). Taken together, compared to the conventional approaches, this modified protocol of mouse hippocampal primary microglia culture by using MACS and TIC medium enables the increased yield and purity of microglia in the quiescent state, which is similar to normal ramified microglia in healthy brain in vivo.

Objective To investigate the phenotypic and functional properties of in vitro-induced He-lios+regulatory T cells(Helios+iTreg) and to analyze the differences between Helios+iTreg and Helios+thymic-derived natural Treg (Helios+nTreg). Methods CD4+CD25- effector T cells (CD4+CD25- Teff) that were separated from healthy subjects were cultured with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies and stimulated with IL-2 and TGF-β to induce the generation of Helios+iTreg. Flow cytometry and real-time PCR were respectively used to analyze the differences in phenotype and CpG methylation in Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) be-tween Helios+iTreg and Helios+nTreg derived from the same donor. Results CD45RA was highly expressed on Helios+iTreg, but not on Helios+nTreg. Additionally, Helios+iTreg expressed significantly higher levels of CD127,ICOS and PD-1,but lower levels of CXCR3,CCR4 and CD25 than Helios+nTreg did. IFN-γ and IL-2 that expressed by Helios+iTreg were more than those by Helios+nTreg. It was also found that the level of CpG methylation in TSDR was much higher in Helios+iTreg than in Helios+nTreg. Conclusion Both nTreg and iTreg expressed Helios,but the phenotypic and functional properties of the two Treg subsets were different. It was suggested that Helios+iTreg and Helios+nTreg might play different roles in the immune system.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of different low-doses of nalmefene in preventing remifentanil-induced postoperative hyperalgesia. Methods One hundred American Society of Anesthesiolo-gist physical status Ⅰor Ⅱpatients, aged 20-64 yr, wih body mass index of 18-25 kg∕m2, scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, were divided into 4 groups(n=25 each)using a random number table: control group(group C)and different doses of nalmefene groups (N1, N2 and N3 groups). In N1, N2 and N3 groups, nalmefene 02, 03 and 05 μg∕kg(diluted to 5 ml in normal saline)were intravenously injected, respectively, at 5 min before anesthesia induction, while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 005 mg∕kg, sufentanil 03 μg∕kg, etomidate 03 mg∕kg and rocuronium 06 mg∕kg. The patients were me-chanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained by IV infusion of remifentanil 03 μg·kg-1·min-1and inhalation of 4%-6% desflurane, bispectral index value was maintained at 45-60, and muscle relaxation was maintained with intermittent IV boluses of rocuronium. After admission to postan-esthesia care unit, patient-controlled analgesia(PCA)was performed, and PCA solution contained sufen-tanil 1 μg∕ml in 100 ml of normal saline. PCA pump was programmed to deliver a 05 ml bolus dose with a lockout interval of 15 min and background infusion at 2 ml∕h. Numeric rating scale score was maintained <4. The time for remifentanil infusion was recorded. The consumption of sufentanil was recorded in 0-1, 1-3, 3-6, 6-12 and 12-24 h periods after surgery, and the occurrence of nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, hypertension and shivering was also recorded within 24 h after surgery. Results Compared with group C, the postoperative consumption of sufentanil was significantly reduced in 0-1 h and 1-3 h periods after sur-gery in group N1 and in 0-1, 1-3, 3-6 and 6-12 h periods after surgery in group N2, and the incidence of postoperative nausea was significantly decreased in N1, N2 and N3 groups(P<005). The consumption of sufentanil in 3-6 h period after surgery was significantly lower in group N2 than in group N1(P<005).

Objective To evaluate the effect of ulinastatin on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in plateau region.Methods Sixty patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in plateau region,weighing 45-75 kg,aged 30-55 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective partial hepatectomy,were divided into control group (C group) and ulinastatin group (U group) using a random number table,with 30 patients in each group.Ulinastatin 12 000 U/kg (in 100 ml of normal saline) was infused intravenously at 20 min before occlusion of hepatic portal in group U,and normal saline 100 ml was given instead in group C.Before operation,at 10 min after occlusion of hepatic portal,at 20 min and 1 h after unclamping hepatic portal and at 12 h after operation,blood samples were collected from the right internal jugular vein for determination of the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase and malondialdehyde.Results Compared with group C,the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase and malondialdehyde were significantly decreased at 20 min and 1 h after unclamping hepatic portal and 12 h after operation in group U (P<0.05).Conclusion Ulinastatin can attenuate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in plateau region.
Résumé
AIM: To report a two- year's results of iontophoresis-assisted transepithelial corneal cross-linking (I-CXL) for progressive keratoconus. METHODS: Thirty - four eyes in 24 patients with progressive keratoconus ( mean age 21. 0 ± 5. 6 years;range: 14-32 years) were treated. After 1g/ L riboflavin-distilled water solution was administered by iontophoresis-assited (current 1mA) transepithelial method for 5min in total, standard surface UVA irradiation ( 370nm, 3mW/cm2 ) was performed at a 1 - cm distance for 30min. The best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) measured as LogMAR number, corneal refractive astigmatism, K1, K2, Kmean, Kmax, intraocular pressure, endothelial cell density, the thickness at corneal apex and the thinnest point were measured preoperatively and 2a postoperatively. RESULTS:At 2a after the procedure, BCVA (LogMAR) improved from 0. 32 ± 0. 25 to 0. 25 ± 0. 19 ( t = 2. 849, P =0. 015). K1 decreased from 47. 12±4. 33 to 46. 06±4. 77 (t =2. 652, P= 0. 015). K2 decreased from 51. 36±5. 59 to 50. 40±6. 16 (t= 2. 121, P= 0. 047). Kmean decreased from 49. 12±4. 76 to 48. 10±5. 25(t = 2. 663, P = 0. 015). Kmax decreased from 57. 57±8. 30 to 55. 91±8. 14 (t = 2. 398, P = 0. 026). The corneal apex thickness decreased from 476. 90±38. 71μ m to 454. 43 ± 40. 86μ m ( t = 2. 853, P = 0. 010 ). The thinnest thickness decreased from 464. 38 ± 39. 92μ m to 433. 86 ±50. 78μ m ( t = 3. 485, P = 0. 002 ). Corneal refractive astigmatism, intraocular pressure and endothelial cell density did not show significant changes. CONCLUSION: I - CXL for progressive keratoconus is safe and effective which can prevent deterioration of progressive keratoconus within 2a, but further long-term studies are necessary still.
