Observation on the efficacy of moderate and high myopia patients with vault greater than 1 000 μm after implantation of phakic posterior chamber implantable contact lens / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To observe the efficacy of moderate and high myopia patients with vault greater than 1 000μm after implantation of phakic posterior chamber implantable contact lens(ICL).METHODS: A total of 42 patients(73 eyes)who received ICL implantation in the hospital and had postoperative vault greater than 1 000 μm between January 2014 and January 2017 were selected and retrospectively studied. Changes in visual acuity, intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell density, anterior chamber-related parameters(chamber angle, central anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber volume)and vault were compared among patients before surgery, at 1, 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery and at the last follow-up.RESULTS: The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)at 1, 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery and at the last follow-up was better than that before surgery(all P<0.05), and the chamber angle, central anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber volume were smaller or lower than those before surgery(all P<0.05), but there were no statistical differences in UCVA, chamber angle, central anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber volume at each time point after surgery(all P>0.05). The intraocular pressure at 1mo after surgery was lower than that before surgery(P<0.05), but the intraocular pressure at 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery and at the last follow-up was not statistically different from that before surgery(all P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the corneal endothelial cell density at 1, 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery and at the last follow-up compared with that before surgery(all P>0.05). The vault at 1, 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery and at the last follow-up showed a decreasing trend, and the difference was statistically significant at each time point after surgery(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The short-term and long-term efficacy are better in moderate and high myopia patients with vault greater than 1 000 μm after ICL implantation, and there are no significant effects on the intraocular pressure and corneal endothelial cell. The postoperative anterior chamber structure is relatively stable and the vault tends to decrease over time. In most cases, close observation is sufficient and intraocular lens replacement is generally not required.

Practice of bridging the digital divide between doctors and patients from the perspective of digital governance / 中华医院管理杂志

At present, the implementation of Internet hospitals is still hampered by the double digital divide between doctors and patients. In order to develop Internet healthcare better, a Grade-A tertiary hospital has implemented digital governance for traditional healthcare system. The healthcare service chain has been reshaped by integrating online and offline health services and using multi-subject synergy and government-driven logic. Information barriers were broken down by strengthening hospital′s top-level design and implementing personalized follow-up visits for specialized diseases and live broadcast of health education. By establishing cross-regional specialist alliances and medical consortia oriented to patient needs, the time and space limitations of medical resources have been broken through. Digital governance practices have realized the two-way bridging of digital divide between doctors and patients, expanded the new mode of digital healthcare, and provided reference for the sustainable development of Internet hospitals.

Effect analysis of day surgery cost control based on propensity value matching / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To analyze the composition, the changes of expense structure and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses, for reference in optimizing the cost control of day surgery.Methods:Collection of the first page data of patients with the top three diseases(varicose veins of lower limbs, chronic cholecystitis and varicocele)in the day surgery volume ranking in three tertiary general hospitals in a city in 2020. The confounding factors were eliminated through propensity matching. The structural change of hospitalization expenses was analyzed by structural change degree, and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses were analyzed by grey correlation degree and multiple linear regression.Results:After 1∶1 propensity matching of the first page data of 752 patients with day surgery and non day surgery, 98 patients with lower extremity varicose veins, 356 patients with chronic cholecystitis and 38 patients with varicocele were finally included. Compared with non day hand, the total hospitalization cost of day surgical instruments decreased, and the cost structure changes of chronic cholecystitis, varicocele and varicose veins of lower limbs were 14.59%, 6.20% and 16.20% respectively. Among them, the general medical service fee, nursing fee and examination and laboratory fee showed a downward trend, and the fees of materials and drugs showed an upward trend. General medical service fee, nursing fee, examination and laboratory fee, clinical diagnosis fee, treatment fee, drug fee, material fee and other expenses presented a high correlation with the cost of day surgery(grey correlation>0.90). The payment method, wound healing type and discharge diagnosis can influence the cost of day surgery( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with non daytime surgery, the total hospitalization cost of day surgery has a certain cost control effect, but it can not reduce the cost of all projects. The main influencing factors are the internal composition of the cost, payment method and so on. The hospitals should focus on tapping the internal cost control potential of day surgery and further expanding the coverage of day surgery diseases.

Combining transcranial magnetic stimulation with action observation therapy better improves the neurological functioning of stroke survivors / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To observe any effect of combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) under the guidance of event related potentials (ERPs) with action observation therapy (AOT) on the cognitive and motor functioning of stroke survivors in the recovery period.Methods:Ninety stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group, an rTMS group and an rTMS+ AOT group, each of 30. All three groups were given conventional rehabilitation treatment (including the training of waist, upper and lower limb function, balance, walking, memory, attention, orientation, spatial perception and executive ability). The rTMS group also received one session of ERP-based rTMS daily five times a week. The rTMS+ AOT group was given the same rTMS combined with AOT twice a day, five times a week. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA), the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate each subject′s cognitive and motor ability and their skill in the activities of daily living.Results:After the treatment, the average MMSE, MOCA, FMA, BBS and MBI scores of all groups had improved significantly, but the average MMSE, MOCA, upper limb FMA and MBI scores of the rTMS group were then significantly higher than the control group′s averages. And the average scores of the rTMS+ AOT group were significantly better than those of the other two groups.Conclusion:Combining rTMS guided by ERPs with AOT can effectively improve the cognitive functioning, motor control and balance of stroke survivors, and improve their ability in the activities of daily living.

Exploring the association between de novo mutations and non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate based on whole exome sequencing of case-parent trios / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the association between de novo mutations (DNM) and non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P) using case-parent trio design.@*METHODS@#Whole-exome sequencing was conducted for twenty-two NSCL/P trios and Genome Analysis ToolKit (GATK) was used to identify DNM by comparing the alleles of the cases and their parents. Information of predictable functions was annotated to the locus with SnpEff. Enrichment analysis for DNM was conducted to test the difference between the actual number and the expected number of DNM, and to explore whether there were genes with more DNM than expected. NSCL/P-related genes indicated by previous studies with solid evidence were selected by literature reviewing. Protein-protein interactions analysis was conducted among the genes with protein-altering DNM and NSCL/P-related genes. R package "denovolyzeR" was used for the enrichment analysis (Bonferroni correction: P=0.05/n, n is the number of genes in the whole genome range). Protein-protein interactions among genes with DNM and genes with solid evidence on the risk factors of NSCL/P were predicted depending on the information provided by STRING database.@*RESULTS@#A total of 339 908 SNPs were qualified for the subsequent analysis after quality control. The number of high confident DNM identified by GATK was 345. Among those DNM, forty-four DNM were missense mutations, one DNM was nonsense mutation, two DNM were splicing site mutations, twenty DNM were synonymous mutations and others were located in intron or intergenic regions. The results of enrichment analysis showed that the number of protein-altering DNM on the exome regions was larger than expected (P < 0.05), and five genes (KRTCAP2, HMCN2, ANKRD36C, ADGRL2 and DIPK2A) had more DNM than expected (P < 0.05/(2×19 618)). Protein-protein interaction analysis was conducted among forty-six genes with protein-altering DNM and thirteen genes associated with NSCL/P selected by literature reviewing. Six pairs of interactions occurred between the genes with DNM and known NSCL/P-related genes. The score measuring the confidence level of the predicted interaction between RGPD4 and SUMO1 was 0.868, which was higher than the scores for other pairs of genes.@*CONCLUSION@#Our study provided novel insights into the development of NSCL/P and demonstrated that functional analyses of genes carrying DNM were warranted to understand the genetic architecture of complex diseases.

Complete chloroplast genome of Ligustrum lucidum and highly variable marker identification for Ligustrum / 中国中药杂志

Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, the sun-dried mature fruit of Ligustrum lucidum, is cool, plain, sweet, and bitter, which can be used as both food and medicine, with the effects of improving vision, blacking hair, and tonifying liver and kidney. It takes effect slowly. However, little is known about the genetic information of the medicinal plant and it is still a challenge to distinguish Ligustrum species. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of L. lucidum was obtained by genome skimming and then compared with that of five other Ligustrum species, which had been reported. This study aims to evaluate the interspecific variation of chloroplast genome within the genus and develop molecular markers for species identification of the genus. The result showed that the chloroplast genome of L. lucidum was 162 162 bp with a circular quadripartite structure of two single-copy regions separated by a pair of inverted repeats. The Ligustrum chloroplast genomes were conserved with small interspecific difference. Comparative analysis of six Ligustrum chloroplast genomes revealed three variable regions(rbcL-accD, ycf1a, and ycf1b), and ycf1a and ycf1b can be used as the species-specific DNA barcode for Ligustrum. Phylogeny analysis provided the best resolution of Ligustrum and supported that L. lucidum was sister to L. gracile. This study clarified the genetic diversity of L. lucidum from provenance, which can serve as a reference for further analysis of pharmacological differences and breeding of excellent varieties with stable drug effects.

Evaluation of genetic diversity of ginseng fruit color germplasm resources: based on SSR analysis / 中国中药杂志

Illumina Xten was employed for shallow sequencing of Panax ginseng(ginseng) samples, MISA for screening of SSR loci, and Primer 3 for primer design. Polymorphic primers were screened from 180 primers. From the successfully amplified polymorphic primers, 15 primers which featured clear peak shape, good polymorphism, and ease of statistics were selected and used to evaluate the genetic diversity and germplasm resources of 36 ginseng accessions with different fruit colors from Jilin province. The results showed that red-fruit ginseng population had high genetic diversity with the average number of alleles(N_a) of 1.031 and haploid genetic diversity(h) of 0.172. The neighbor-joining cluster analysis demonstrated that the germplasms of red-fruit and yellow-fruit ginseng populations were obviously intermixed, and pick-fruit ginseng germplasms clustered into a single clade. The results of STRUCTURE analysis showed high proportion of single genotype in pick-fruit ginseng germplasm and abundant genotypes in red-fruit and yellow-fruit ginseng germplasms with obvious germplasm mixing. AMOVA revealed that genetic variation occurred mainly within populations(62.00%, P<0.001), and rarely among populations(39%, P<0.001), but homogenization was obvious among different populations. In summary, pink-fruit ginseng population may contain rare genotypes, which is the basis for breeding of high-quality high-yield, and multi-resistance varieties, genetic improvement of varieties, and sustainable development and utilization of ginseng germplasm resources.

Correlation between 1H-MRS metabolites in hippocampal and T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in peripheral blood of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To analyze the correlation between 1H-MRS in hippocampus and peripheral blood cytokines and T lymphocyte subsets in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, and to explore the relationship between immune dysfunction and the degree of neuronal injury. Methods:Fifty patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were selected from Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from October 2020 to July 2021.Clinical data of all patients were collected and they were divided into two groups according to MRI results of epileptic sequence: abnormal hippocampal MRI group ( n=20) and normal hippocampal MRI group ( n=30). Bilateral 1H-MRS scanning of hippocampal and detection of T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in peripheral blood during interictal period were performed in both groups. The levels of hippocampal metabolites NAA, NAA/(Cr+ Cho), T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in peripheral blood of the two groups were compared.At the same time, the levels of NAA and NAA/ (Cr+ Cho) in the hippocampus on the abnormal side and the normal side in the abnormal hippocampal MRI group were compared within the group. Finally, the correlation between the levels of metabolites NAA, NAA/ (Cr+ Cho) in the hippocampus on the abnormal side obtained by 1H-MRS scanning and T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in the abnormal group of MRI was analyzed. The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 26.0 software. Independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between the two groups. Paired sample t-test was used for intra group comparison of different sides. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between each index. Results:The NAA and NAA/(Cr+ Cho) values of the abnormal MRI group(normal side NAA: (1.22±0.37), NAA/(Cr+ Cho): (0.56±0.15). abnormal side NAA: (1.02±0.34), NAA/(Cr+ Cho): (0.48±0.13)) were significantly lower than those of the normal MRI group (NAA: (1.51±0.36), NAA/(Cr+ Cho): (0.73±0.19))(NAA: t=2.705, 4.800, both P<0 05; NAA/(Cr+ Cho): t=3.394, 4.914, both P<0 05). The values of NAA and NAA/(Cr+ Cho) in the abnormal side in the MRI abnormal group were significantly lower than those in the normal side( t=6.467, P<0 05). The levels of IL-1β(11.19(3.56, 20.98)pg/ml), IL-5 (3.12(1.86, 6.41)pg/ml), TNF-α(2.55(1.19, 8.28)pg/ml), CD4+ T lymphocytes((43.13±6.82)%) and Th/Ts((1.96±0.66)) in the hippocampal MRI abnormal group were significantly higher than those in normal MRI group (IL-1β: 3.27(1.63, 6.17)pg/ml, IL-5: 1.15(0.96, 2.96)pg/ml, TNF-α: 1.34(1.02, 2.36)pg/ml, CD4+ T: (38.01±7.21)%, Th/Ts: (1.48±0.53))( Z=-3.041, -2.516, -2.496, all P<0.05; t=2.511, 2.810, both P<0 05). The level of CD8+ T ((23.48±5.33)%) in peripheral blood of abnormal MRI group was significantly lower than that of normal group CD8+ T((27.18±6.08)%)( t=2.210, P<0.05). In the abnormal MRI group, the levels of NAA and NAA/ (Cr+ Cho) in the abnormal hippocampus were negatively correlated with the levels of IL-1β, IL-5 and TNF- α ( r=-0.612--0.463, all P<0.05), and positively correlated with CD8+ T lymphocytes ( r=0.537, 0.478, P<0.05). Conclusion:There is neuronal damage and dysfunction in the abnormal hippocampal region of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy with abnormal hippocampal formation, and the degree of neuronal damage is highly correlated with CD8+ T lymphocytes, IL-5, IL-1β and TNF-α in peripheral blood. The imbalance of interictal lymphocyte subsets and chronic inflammatory response may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and neuronal injury .

Study on middle-aged and elderly people′ willingness for family doctor contracting and its influencing factors / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To investigate the middle-aged and elderly people′ willingness for family doctor service contracts and its influencing factors, and to provide feasible suggestions for the implementation and promotion of family doctor services.Methods:Stratified random sampling method was adopted to select middle-aged and elderly people aged 45 in 6 urban areas of Xuzhou city for questionnaire survey to investigate their illness, medical treatment and their willingness to contract a family doctor. The data acquired were analyzed with statistical description, univariate analysis( χ2 test), and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:Among the 927 valid questionnaires were recovered, 272(29.34%)of them intended to contract a family doctor, and 655(70.66%)had no such intention. Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that the influencing factors of the middle-aged and elderly people′ willingness of contracting family doctors were age, occupation, self-rated health, treatment status within two weeks, chronic diseases, referral experience and their knowledge of family physician contract system.Conclusions:Middle-aged and elderly people at large are not willing to sign up for family doctors. It is recommended to focus the publicity efforts on those who are relatively younger age, farming and healthier, enhancing their awareness of the service, and encouraging them to support the dual-referral policy. These efforts are expected to promote the coordinated progress of both dual referral and family doctor contract service, hence achieving the national coverage of the family doctor system.

Conjoint fascial sheath suspension in treatment of severe blepharoptosis caused by inadequate suspension system tension / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) suspension surgery for severe blepharoptosis caused by low-tension suspension system.Methods:A total of 62 cases with severe blepharoptosis caused by low-tension suspension system received CFS suspension correction surgery from September 2014 to September 2017 were collected and followed up with a range of 12-36 months. The MRD-1, curve of upper eyelid, appearance and complications were recorded and underwent statistical analysis to evaluate the effect based on functionality, aesthetics and complication.Results:The postoperative MRD-1 was + 1 mm ~+ 4 mm compared with preoperative -3 mm ~+ 1 mm. The difference in the mean change was statistically different ( t=5.893, P<0.05). The satisfactory rate was 92.1% (82 cases), 7.9% (7 cases) were improved, and no case was invalid. There were no cases of recrudescence. Conclusions:Severe blepharoptosis can be caused by the inadequate tension of the upper eyelid suspension system. Laxity and abnormality of fixed structures may be major cause of decreasing levator aponeurotic tone. CFS suspension prevents further damage to the previous fixed structures, so it should be the first choice for such cases.

Effects of Virtual Reality on Balance for Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Meta-analysis / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To evaluate the effect of virtual reality (VR) on comprehensive balance for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods:The databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Scopus, VIP, Wanfang Data and CNKI were retrieved to collect randomized controlled trials about VR intervention for PD patients, from establishment to November, 2020. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the quality of the literature, and then used Review Manager 5.3 software for meta-analysis. Results:A total of 24 documents were included. Compared with the control group, VR intervention might improve the static balance (SMD = -0.49, 95%CI -0.64 to -0.35, P < 0.001) of PD patients. Simple VR intervention might improve the Berg Balance Scale score (SMD = 0.83, 95%CI 0.43 to 1.23, P < 0.001) for PD patients, while combination of VR intervention might improve the Berg Balance Scale score (SMD = 0.75, 95%CI 0.53 to 0.96, P < 0.001) and Timed 'Up and Go' Test time (SMD = -0.87, 95%CI -1.52 to -0.22, P = 0.008) for PD patients; however, simple VR intervention might do little in improving Timed 'Up and Go' Test time (SMD = -0.36, 95%CI -0.74 to 0.03, P = 0.07). Conclusions:VR can improve the comprehensive balance for PD patients, especially combine with conventional or balance training.

Objective:To observe the effect of Qiyu Sanlong decoction （QYSL） on the expressions of key molecules in signal axis of mammalian rapamycin target protein （mTOR）/yeast Atg6 homologous （Beclin1）/ microtubule-associated protein1 light chain3 （LC3） in A549 cells. Method:With A549 cells as the research object， the effect of QYSL medicated serum on cell viability of A549 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） method. The effect of QYSL decoction on A549 cell apoptosis， autophagosome formation and the expression of autophagy markers were detected by Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling （TUNEL） method， transmission electron microscope （TEM）， Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot. Result:QYSL medicated serum could inhibit the viability of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with the blank serum group， the number of apoptotic A549 cells in the QYSL medicated serum group was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the formation of autophagosome was significantly increased. Compared with the blank serum group， the mRNA and protein expressions of mTOR in A549 cells in the QYSL serum group were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， while mRNA and protein expressions of Beclin-1， autophagy related genes 5 （ATG5）， autophagy related genes 13 （ATG13） were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Conclusion:QYSL decoction can induce autophagy in A549 cells， and its specific mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of mTOR expression， the up-regulation of Beclin1， ATG5， ATG13 and LC3 expression， and the promotion of LC3Ⅰ conversion to LC3Ⅱ.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in non-occupational population reported in Hangzhou, and provide basis for diagnosis and further prevention and control of brucellosis in non-occupational population.Methods:The basic information, epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics and laboratory test data of brucellosis patients reported in Hangzhou from 2008 to 2019 were collected retrospectively. The data were obtained from the case questionnaire of confirmed brucellosis and annual report of brucellosis prevention and control work of Hangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention over the years. The epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics and diagnosis of brucellosis in non-occupational population were analyzed.Results:From 2008 to 2019, 76 cases of brucellosis in non-occupational population were reported in Hangzhou, accounting for 34.23% (76/222) of the total reported brucellosis cases. In the 76 cases of brucellosis in non-occupational population, there were 47 males and 29 females, the ratio of male to female was 1.62∶1.00; the age was (47.37 ± 16.04) years old, ranging from 6 to 84 years old. The peak incidence of brucellosis in non-occupational population was from March to May, accounting for 59.21% (45/76); the main routes of infection were direct contact and digestive tract, accounting for 80.26% (61/76). The main clinical symptoms were fever (100.00%, 76/76), hyperhidrosis (73.68%, 56/76) and muscle and joint pain (69.74%, 53/76); the diagnosis time was 27 (14, 49) d, and the longest diagnosis time was 190 d. Among them, 39 cases were misdiagnosed, accounting for 51.32% (39/76). Sixty suspected Brucella strains were identified by routine culture of automatic blood culture apparatus in hospital laboratory, and 54 strains of Brucella melitensis were identified by typing, with a coincidence rate of 90.00%. The blood culture rate of patients from 2015 to 2019 (88.46%, 46/52) was significantly higher than that from 2008 to 2014 (58.33%, 14/24), the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=8.968, P < 0.05). Conclusions:From 2008 to 2019, the onset of brucellosis in non-occupational population is seasonal in Hangzhou, the infection mode is diverse, the clinical symptoms are not typical, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed. Blood culture for suspected brucellosis patients in high incidence season is conducive to the early diagnosis of brucellosis.

Risk characteristics of hypertension in high-risk population： an analysis based on the surveillance data of chronic diseases in Shanghai / 上海预防医学

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of high-risk population of hypertension in Shanghai， and to provide references for health management and targeted lifestyle intervention of the high-risk population in community. Methods:The data from the 2013 Shanghai Non-communicable and Chronic Diseases Surveillance were used. The subjects who met the criteria of high-risk population of hypertension were included， and 11 753 subjects were finally identified， to analyze the distribution and level of risk characteristics. Result:Among six high-risk characteristics of hypertension， the detection rate of high salt in diet was the highest （55.3%）， followed by overweight/obesity （44.0%）， family history of hypertension （41.6%）， and blood pressure level of （130-139）/（85-89） mmHg （31.7%）. The detection rate of excessive drinking was the lowest （5.0%）. The percentage of population with one or two high-risk characteristics was higher than that with three or more high-risk characteristics （76.9% vs. 23.1%）. Systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， fasting plasma glucose level， and body mass index in the male high-risk group were higher than those in the female group， and the differences were statistically significant （P<0.05）. Systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， fasting plasma glucose level， body mass index and daily salt intake were different between different age groups， educational level and occupational types （P<0.05）. Systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， body mass index and daily salt intake were significantly different among high-risk groups with different marital status （P<0.05）. The daily salt intake and systolic blood pressure levels of high-risk population in different areas were significantly different （P<0.05）. Conclusion:We should identify high-risk groups of hypertension as early as possible and actively carry out community health management and targeted lifestyle interventions. The focus should be on the groups and individuals with high-risk characteristics such as dietary high salt and overweight/obesity， male， middle-aged and low-educated groups. In this way， we can reduce the level of high-risk characteristics， prevent and delay the occurrence of hypertension.
