RESUMEN
Objective@#Stress and cognitive impairment are common postoperative complications in elder patients who have undergone hip surgery. The objective of the work is to evaluate the effects of remimazolam supplemented to combined general anesthesia in improving stress and cognitive performance. @*Methods@#A total of 120 patients were included to receive a low dose of remimazolam (0.1 mg/kg/h) intravenously combined with general anesthesia or general anesthesia alone during hip surgery. Assessments were used for evaluating cognitive and psychological performance respectively before surgery (T0), 24 h (T5), and 72 h (T6) after surgery. Physiological parameters including mean artery pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels (SpO2) were measured at T0, 30 min after anesthesia (T1), and completion of surgery (T2). Stress indexes including serum cortisol and norepinephrine levels were measured at T0, T5, and T6. The visual analog scale pain scores were also acquired at 6 h after surgery, 12 h after surgery, and T6. Serum interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels were acquired at T0, T2, and T6. @*Results@#Heart rate and SpO2 levels in the combination group were significantly improved compared to the control group. Serum cortisol and norepinephrine levels were the highest at T1 and decline over time until T5 in both groups, the two stress indexes of the combination group were significantly lower at T1 and T2. @*Conclusion@#Remimazolam supplemented to combined general anesthesia demonstrated significant benefit in reducing stress and cognitive dysfunction in elder patients who underwent hip surgery.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Many studies have been done regarding perforation after colonoscopy, but few studies analyzed the risk factors of endoscopic treatment failure after colonoscopy perforation. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment plan of those patients with perforation after colonoscopy diagnosis and the treatment and risk factors of failure to endoscopic treatment. METHOD: This was a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent colonoscopy examination and treatment at the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University, from 04/2009 to 03/2020. The patients were grouped as perforation, treatment success, or failure (required laparoscopy or laparotomy). RESULTS: From April 2009 to March 2020, 43,470 patients were examined and treated with colonoscopy. There were 35 cases of intestinal perforation, for an incidence of 0.081%. Four patients had immediate surgical intervention (two patients with laparoscopic surgery and two with laparotomy surgery). Thirty-one (88.57%) patients underwent endoscopic treatment. Endoscopic treatment was successful in 20 patients and failed in 11. Compared with the failure group, the perforation size in the success group was smaller (7.60±4.85 vs. 14.4±7.03 mm, P=0.004), hospital stay was shorter (26.6±13.1 vs. 14.2±3.0, P=0.011), and hospitalization costs were lower (30,208±9506 vs. 23,053±6227 RMB, P=0.002). Multivariable logistic stepwise analysis showed that the absence of abdominal pain after therapeutic colonoscopy was independently associated with the success of endoscopic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic treatment is logically the preferred modality for perforation management, leading to good recovery, shorter hospital stay, and lower costs of treatment. Postoperative abdominal pain is significantly related to the failure of endoscopic treatment.

Objective:To explore the relationship between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and disease activity, nutritional status in patients with Crohn disease (CD).Methods:The clinical data of 74 patients with CD in the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from July 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into active group (32 cases) and remission group (42 cases) according to simplified Crohn disease activity index (CDAI). The general clinical data, laboratory examination results and body fat indexes were recorded, body fat indexes including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, LAP and nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score. Spearman method was used for correlation analysis; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the efficacy of LAP in predicting the disease activity and nutritional status in patients with CD.Results:The proportion of males, body weight, hemoglobin, albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in active group were significantly lower than those in remission group: 46.9% (15/32) vs. 71.4% (30/42), (53.58 ± 8.13) kg vs. (61.05 ± 9.38) kg, (109.94 ± 23.70) g/L vs. (134.19 ± 18.03) g/L, (34.01 ± 5.71) g/L vs. (39.15 ± 4.27) g/L, (3.23 ± 0.68) mmol/L vs. (3.66 ± 0.74) mmol/L, (1.12 ± 0.36) mmol/L vs. (1.34 ± 0.55) mmol/L and (0.91 ± 0.23) mmol/L vs. (1.04 ± 0.33) mmol/L, the nutritional risk rate, platelet count, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were significantly higher than those in remission group: 68.8% (22/32) vs. 19.0% (8/42), (317.97 ± 130.19) ×10 9/L vs. (194.00 ± 51.91) × 10 9/L, 14.15 (6.15, 41.35) mg/L vs. 1.51 (0.22, 5.58) mg/L and 40.00 (20.50, 64.25) mm/1 h vs. 9.00 (3.00, 20.00) mm/1 h, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical difference in age, height, total protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol between the two groups ( P>0.05). The BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and LAP in active group were significantly lower than those in remission group: 19.46 (17.70, 21.45) kg/m 2 vs. 21.08 (18.87, 23.12) kg/m 2, (72.51 ± 5.92) cm vs. (77.67 ± 7.27) cm, 0.44 ± 0.03 vs. 0.46 ± 0.04, 13.42 (5.07, 17.72) cm·mmol/L vs. 15.49 (9.37, 31.71) cm·mmol/L, the NRS2002 was significantly higher than that in remission group: 3.00 (1.00, 3.75) scores vs. 1.00 (0, 2.00) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). Spearman correlation analysis result showed that LAP was positively correlated with BMI, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio ( r = 0.701, 0.766 and 0.829; P<0.01); LAP was negatively correlated with NRS2002 score, platelet count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( r =- 0.609, - 0.249 and - 0.243; P<0.01 or<0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the areas under the curve of LAP predicting disease remission and nutritional status improvement in patients with CD were 0.645 and 0.832 (95% CI 0.520 to 0.770 and 0.739 to 0.925), the best cut-off values were 20.89 and 12.86 cm·mmol/L, the sensitivities were 45.2% and 81.8%, and the specificities were 87.5% and 73.3%. Conclusions:LAP has good predictive value for disease remission and nutritional status improvement in patients with CD.

RESUMEN
Background It has been reported that orthokeratology has the effects of slowing down myopia progression and axial elongation.However,the affecting mechanism of orthokeratology wearing on ocular peripheral refraction is still not elucidated.Objective This study was to observe and compare the changes of ocular peripheral refraction and relative peripheral refraction (RPR) in low to moderate myopic eyes of children after wearing orthokeratology lens and spectacles for 6 months.Methods A randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out after approval of Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital and informed consent of guardians of the children.One hundred myopic children aged (ll.0±1.9) years were recruited in Beijing Tongren Hospital from June 2014 to January 2015,with the diopter of-0.50 to-6.00 D.The subjects were randomized into orthokeratology group and spectacles group by the process PLAN PROC of software SAS 9.1.3,50 for each group.The subjects in the orthokeratology group wore orthokeratology lens for 6 months and those in the spectacles group wore spectacles for the same period.An infrared open-field autorefractor was employed to measure the refraction at central 0°,temporal 15°,temporal 30°,nasal 15°and nasal 30° radial lines before and after wearing lens for the assessment and comparison of the changes of peripheral refraction and RPR.Results There was no significant difference in spherical equivalent between the orthokeratology group and the spectacles group before wearing lens ([-3.35±1.31] D versus [-3.01± 1.15] D,P =0.20).The peripheral refraction values in the orthokeratology group were (-2.28 ± 1.60),(-3.28±1.41),(-3.40±1.23),(-3.38±1.12) and (-2.09±1.29)D at nasal 15°and nasal30°,central,temporal 15° and temporal 30°radial lines before wearing lens,and reduced by (0.29±1.67),(0.85±1.66),(0.92±1.76) and (0.66±1.66) D at nasal 30°,nasal 15°,central and temporal 15° after wearing lens,respectively,with significant differences at nasal 15°,central and temporal 15°(all at P<0.05).The peripheral refraction values in the spectacles group were (-1.88±1.30),(-2.66±1.18),(-2.89±1.27) and (-1.94±1.31)D at nasal 15°,nasal 30°,temporal 15 ° and temporal 30°,radial lines before wearing lens and increased by (-0.25±0.80),(-0.43 ±0.67),(-0.32±0.64) and (-0.22±0.75)D after wearing lens,respectively,with significant differences between before and after wearing lens (all at P<0.05).The RPR shifted from hyperopia defocus to myopia defocus before and after wearing lens in temporal 15° and 30° radial lines in the orthokeratology group,and at various radial lines in the spectacles group,the RPR showed gradually worsening of hyperopia defocus.Conclusions Long-term wearing of orthokeratology results in a hyperopia shifting in myopic children by exposing the peripheral retina towards relative myopia defocus,whereas wearing spectacles leads to a relative hyperopia defocus on retina.Thus,orthokeratology may slow down the myopia progression.
RESUMEN
Background Preferred practice pattern (PPP) is an evidence-based documents which can be used for reference to standardize medical practice by ophthalmologists.So far it has been promoted for more than 10 years in China.However,there is no report about the popularization and application of PPP in China.Objective This study was to investigate the cognitions of ophthalmologists to PPP from the view of clinical questions.Methods A questionnaire-based study was conducted.Questionnaires were dispensed during September 17 to 21,2014 to inquiry into the cognitions of ophthalmologists to PPP in the 19th Congress of Chinese Ophthalmological Society.A selfadministered questionnaire was designed and discussed according to the article published in the past by our research group.It included personal basic information and cognitions to PPP,and the latter consisted of self-assessment and cognition scoring.The constituent ratios of aware,quite aware,unaware and fully unaware ophthalmologists were counted.The cognitions were divided into low level (0-4 scores),moderate level (5-8 scores) and high level (9-12 scores) based on the effective answer sheets.The questionnaires were filled out anonymously and incomplete questionnaires were excluded.Results Among the 300 distributed questionnaires,282 were retrieved and 209 were valid,with the effective rate 74.1%.The ophthalmologists of awareness to PPP were 46.4% (97/209),and 53.6% (112/209) of respondents did not know PPP very well.A positive correlation was found between the awareness to PPP and the cognition scores to clinical issues (r,=0.143,P < 0.05).The cognition scores to clinical issues were significantly different among different educational backgrounds (F =12.26,P < 0.05),and cognition scores were significantly reduced in the ophthalmologists with lower master degree in comparison with the ophthalmologists with doctoral degree (all at P<0.05).The coincide ratio between cognitions of ophthalmologists to different clinical issues and suggestions in PPP were evidently different in the ophthalmologists,with the highest coincide ratio 83% and the lowest coincide ratio 1%.Conclusions The awareness to PPP is not adequate in Chinese eye doctors,which reduces the cognition level to clinical issues.There is a poor coincide ratio between cognitions of Chinese ophthalmologists to clinical issues and suggestions in PPP.This study emphasizes the need for effective awareness programs towards clinical issues based on PPP.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the protective effect of bicyclol tablets on drug-induced hepatic injury in patients with severe psoriasis.Methods One hundred and six patients with severe psoriasis and drug-induced hepatic injury were enrolled in this study,and randomly divided into 2 groups:bicyclol group (53 cases) treated with oral bicyclol tablets (25 mg thrice a day) for 8 weeks,diammonium glycyrrhizinate group (53 cases) treated with diammonium glycyrrhizinate capsules (150 mg thrice a day) for 8 weeks.Serum biochemical indices of hepatic function were measured before and after treatment,therapeutic efficacy was evaluated,and adverse reactions were observed and recorded after treatment.Intergroup and intragroup differences in these parameters were assessed.Results During the treatment,3 patients were lost to follow up.After treatment,serum biochemical indices of hepatic function markedly improved in both the bicyclol group (52 cases) and diammonium glycyrrhizinate group (51 cases) (both P < 0.01),and the bicyclol group showed a better treatment response than the diammonium glycyrrhizinate group (P < 0.01).The marked response rate was 71.15% and 47.06% (P < 0.05),and the response rate was 84.62% and 66.67% (P < 0.05),respectively,in the bicyclol group and diammonium glycyrrhizinate group.No adverse reactions related to tested drugs were observed in either of the two groups.Conclusion Bicyclol can attenuate antipsoriatic drug-induced hepatic injury with good safety.

RESUMEN
Background Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been widely applied to solve clinical issues internationally,however,the awareness of oculists in China still is dissatisfied,and the relevant issue survey can offer the training guidance.Objective This study was to survey the status of the cognition and practice of EBM in ophthalmologists in China and analyze the problems in their EBM practice.Methods Two hundred and thirty-three ophthalmologists were enrolled in the 18th Congress of Chinese Ophthalmological Society in August,2013.A survey about EBM was performed by self-made questionnaire,including general data from the surveyors,the way and channel of understanding EBM,the attitude toward EBM,clinical practice of EBM and influencing factors.The educational background,professional qualifications,ranked distribution of hospitals which surveyors came from,size of the citys and attribute of hospitals were stratified and analyzed.SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 233 questionnaires were distributed,and 233 were regained with the response rate 100%,and 214 valid questionnaires were included,with the effective rate 91.8%.50.5% of the respondents (104/206) knew EBM in university.The proportion of those believe EBM initially as medical students was 41.8%,and 49.1% (102/208) were aware of EBM in recent 8 years.And 47.7% (101/211) believed that EBM should be given priority in clinic,and 7.5% (16/211) were indifferent to EBM.Only 3.8% (8/211) surveyors thought EBM to be little important.The proportion of the respondents choosing ‘ know’ or ‘ moderately-know’ were 69.1% (148/214),35.0% (75/ 213),21.5% (46/213) and 57.4% (121/211) respectively in EBM,Meta analysis,Cochrane as well as Preferred Practice Patterns (PPPs) with a higher receiving degree in well-educated individuals (P =0.000,0.000,0.001,0.000).EBM was well practiced in 11.7% (25/211) oculists,with a higher using frequency in senior ophthalmologists,and 17.8% (89/495,frequency) oculists consulted the EBM literature to resolve problems in clinic,with a significant difference in the using frequency of EBM among the different educational background subjects (x2=13.406,P=0.037).The top three barriers which affected the application of EBM in clinical practices were lack of time and the limited energy,feeling it difficult to evaluate the evidence correctly as well as the absence of cases proving the efficacy to treat based EBM.The type of EBM evidence mostly used by respondents was medical database (36.7%),and CNKI (33.5%) and PubMed (38.4%) were the mostly used Chinese and English database,respectively.Respondents who have never searched the Chinese or English database occupied up to 7.3% and 17.2%,respectively.Conclusions The cognition degree and applying frequency are still lower in ophthalmologists in China.The training of EBM should be strengthened in medical students.The guidance measurement should be taken to encourage eye doctors to apply EBM.
