@#AIM: To analysis the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of ocular trauma in Shaanxi and surrounding areas, and provide research support for the formulation of prevention and treatment measures for ocular trauma. METHODS: Retrospective study. The general data and clinical data of 1 723 unilateral ocular trauma patients(1 723 eyes)admitted to our hospital from January 2 018 to April 2 020 were collected to establish the ocular trauma database and analyzed.RESULTS: Among the 1 723 cases(1 723 eyes)of ocular trauma patients, young and middle-aged patients(20-59 years old)accounted for the majority(1 149 eyes, 66.69%)and mainly were male patients(1 392 eyes, 80.79%), and the vast majority of patients came from rural areas(1 270 eyes, 73.71%)and engaged in manual labor(1 288 eyes, 74.75%). The main causes of ocular trauma were blunt tools(511 eyes, 29.66%), sharp objects(423 eyes, 24.55%), splashing metal(non-metal)foreign bodies(299 eyes, 17.35%), falling(183 eyes, 10.62%), <i>etc</i>. The main places of injury were workplaces(633 eyes, 36.74%), farming places(474 eyes, 27.51%), residential homes(302 eyes, 17.53%), public places(248 eyes, 14.39%), <i>etc</i>. The main type of ocular trauma was open globe injury(1 311 eyes, 76.09%), and the main therapy was surgical treatment(1 638 eyes, 95.07%). Logistic analysis found that age, post-injury visit time, types of ocular trauma, complications of ocular trauma, history of ocular trauma were all important factors influencing prognosis of ocular trauma patients(<i>P</i><0.05). CONCLUSION: Ocular trauma in Shaanxi and surrounding areas has characteristics of age, sex, place of residence, and occupation. For special occupations and special populations, timely targeted health education and prevention measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of ocular trauma. In addition, the timely treatment of ocular trauma can help improve the prognosis of patients.

Adverse reactions and treatment measures of advanced solid tumors treated with antibody-drug conjugates / 国际肿瘤学杂志

Novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a hot spot in the research and development of new drugs for advanced solid tumors. ADCs have achieved significant efficacy in the treatment of advanced breast cancer, urothelial carcinoma, gastric cancer and other solid tumors, but their adverse reactions such as ocular toxicity, pulmonary toxicity, hematological toxicity, and liver toxicity cannot be ignored, and it is crucial to effectively deal with the adverse reactions of ADCs.

Research progress of linezolid-induced lactic acidosis / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibacterial agent used in infections caused by gram-positive cocci such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, penicillin-resistant pneumococcus and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. Lactic acidosis is one of the adverse reactions of linezolid. The risk factors of lactic acidosis caused by linezolid are long-term exposure, liver dysfunction, renal dysfunction, mitochondrial DNA A2706G polymorphism, combined use of drugs affecting mitochondrial function, etc. The symptoms of lactic acidosis caused by linezolid are nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, shortness of breath, tachycardia, and hypotension, etc., which can be identified early by close monitoring of laboratory indicators such as blood lactic acid, pH, and blood drug concentration. The mechanism of lactic acidosis induced by linezolid may be related to mitochondrial toxicity. The lactic acidosis of linezolid can be caused by reducing drug dose, stopping drug or even in vitro renal replacement therapy, and strengthening symptomatic support therapy if necessary. This review is intended to provide ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of lactate acidosis caused by linezolid.

Understanding, prevention and treatment of COVID-19 from perspective of ethnic medicine / 中草药

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been developing rapidly since the outbreak of Wuhan in December 2019. It has spread to many regions in the world in the short term, which has attracted wide attention at home and abroad. With the active intervention of traditional medicine, the epidemic situation has been effectively controlled, especially for the treatment of severe and critical patients, which shows its unique advantages. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, ethnic medical practitioners have made suggestions on the understanding and prevention measures of COVID-19 based on the theory of ethnic medicine. We should optimize the individual internal environment of patients with individualized traditional medicine prescription, combine the environmental factors such as the soil and space for the emergence and spread of the disease, and contribute our own strength to fighting against the epidemic as soon as possible and ensure the life and health of the minority people. It was suggested to set up a project to excavate, sort out, research and develop the preparations of medical institutions for the prevention and treatment of “pestilence” by national medicine, and make sufficient preparations for the prevention and treatment of “pestilence” caused by various viruses that may occur frequently, so as to protect human health.

Con?clusion Among patients who were negative for iodine anaphylactic test,there were still some who had adverse reactions of different degrees during HSG. Targeting at different conditions of reactions,corresponding prevention measures should be adopted to ensure the smooth progress of hysterosal?pingography.

Pruritus Ani

Pruritus ani is an unpleasant cutaneous sensation that induces the desire to scratch the skin around the anal orifice. It may start insidiously and appears in 1% to 5% of the population. It is classified as primary (idiopathic) pruritus ani when no cause can be found. However, as 25% to 75% of cases have co-existing pathology, a detailed history and examination are necessary. The goal of treatment is asymptomatic, intact, dry, clean perianal skin with reversal of morphological changes. The management of pruritus ani is directed towards the underlying cause. If the diagnosis is idiopathic pruritus ani, the patients can still be managed with great success by eliminating of irritants and scratching, by giving general advice regarding hygiene and lifestyle modification and by using active treatment measures.
