ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the postoperative ocular surface changes in acute attack eye and contralateral eye with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)and cataract.METHODS: A total of 40 patients with monocular acute PACG combined with cataract who admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected. Trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was carried out in the acute attack eyes, and phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were carried out in the contralateral eyes. The ocular surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire, noninvasive first tear film break-up time(NifBUT), noninvasive average tear film break-up time(NiaBUT)and tear meniscus height(TMH)were assessed preoperatively and 1, 3 and 6mo postoperatively.RESULTS: The OSDI scores of the included patients at 1 and 3mo postoperatively(14.72±3.07, 11.39±2.24)were significantly higher than those preoperatively(9.68±1.98; all P<0.0083), and there was no significant difference between 6mo postoperatively(10.18±1.84)and preoperatively. NifBUT of the acute attack eyes at 1 and 3mo postoperatively was significantly lower than that preoperatively, and NiaBUT of the acute attack eyes at 1, 3 and 6mo postoperatively was significantly lower than that preoperatively(all P<0.0083). The NifBUT and NiaBUT of the contralateral eyes at 1mo postoperatively were significantly lower than those preoperatively(all P<0.0083), and there was no significant difference between 3 and 6mo postoperatively and preoperatively. There was no significant difference in TMH of the attack eyes and the contralateral eyes postoperatively and preoperatively(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: The stability of tear film after surgery of PACG and cataract is decreased. The acute attack eye needs 6mo or even longer to recover, while the contralateral eye needs roughly 3mo.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveWearing protective masks for a long time causes a large number of frontline health care workers to suffer different degrees of pressure injury or facial skin rupture in response to COVID-19. This paper aims to analyze the occurrence characteristics and related factors of pressure injury related to devices, and provide the basis for taking countermeasures. Methods There was online investigation of skin injuries caused by wearing protective equipment in medical staff. Descriptive analysis was carried out on the occurrence characteristics of pressure-induced injury, and influencing factors were analyzed through logistic regression model. ResultsThere were a total of 2901 valid questionnaires. The results showed that the incidence of pressure injury caused by protective equipment was 26.34%, mainly in the bridge of the nose (20.41%), cheek (20.23%), auricle (17.82%) and forehead (8.86%). Multivariate Logistic regression model analysis showed that the major associated factors, which presented increasing risk, were sweating and dampness (OR=12.72, 95%CI 8.36-17.30), wearing level-3 protective equipment (OR=3.55, 95%CI 2.47-5.08), wearing level-2 protective equipment (OR=3.37, 95%CI 2.47-4.60), wearing time (OR=1.29, 95%CI 1.05~1.58) and occupation (OR=1.57, 95%CI 1.00~2.49). Conclusion There is the high incidence of pressure injuries to health care workers caused by protective equipment against COVID-19. The main risk factors for facial stress injury of medical staff are sweating and dampness, wearing level-3 and level-2 protective equipment and wearing time.
ABSTRACT
Intraocular pressure ( IOP ) is a pressure applied to the wall of the eye by equilibrium, which is ranging in a normal shape. Our visual function will be damaged if it brokes the normal high value. In recent years, several researchers had found the potential relationship between the IOP and our daily lifestyle. This review will show the specific relationship between them and it also will provide some important guidelines to the patients with high IOP in some degree.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cluster needing of scalp point combined with rehabilitation techniques on acute cerebral infarction patient's movement disturbance.MethodsFugl-Meyer Measure, Bathel Index, Nerve function disturbance and clinical effect assessment methods were used to assess the motion function and daily living activity of cluster needling of scalp point group, rehabilitation group and cluster needling of scalp point combined with rehabilitation group.ResultsThe motion function and daily living activity of the cluster needling of scalp point combined with rehabilitation group patients were superior to cluster needling of scalp point group patients and rehabilitation group patients (P<0.01,P<0.05). The total effective rate can reach to 97.14%. Otherwise, cluster needling of scalp point combined with rehabilitation could also prevent food drop or inversion, subluxation of acromioclavicular joint, shoulder-hand syndrome, contracture of joint, mistake-use syndrome and abnormal motor mode.ConclusionThe cluster needling of scalp point combined with rehabilitation can improve the patients' living quality effectively.
