ObjectiveTo investigate the gene expression spectrum of retina and optic nerve after partial injury of optic nerve.MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. The optic nerves of the right eyes were clipped for 6 seconds with a pair of crossaction forceps. The retinae and optic nerves in the operation eye and contralateral sham operation eye were removed 3, 7, 14, and 21 days after the injury to detect gene expression patterns with high-density DNA microarrays.ResultsChanges of a mass of gene expressions were found after the optic nerve injury, and the positive rate of gene expression was 2.35%, 6.48%, 3.82% and 4.09% after 3, 7, 14, 21 days, respectively, and the total positive rate was 11.77%. The functions of positive expression of the gene involved cell survival, cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix and cell adhesion, free radicals and oxidative damage, energy and metabolism, inflammation, neurotransmission and ion transport, signal transduction, structural protein, transcription and translation. Up-or down-regulation of repaired genes was the main part of the changes of gene expression, while the alteredexpression destroy genes was the minor part in the whole gene expression spectrum, in which the up- and down-regulation of expression of repaired genes accounted for 13.98% and 24.73% respectively 7 days after the injury, and the downregulation of expression of repaired genes accounted for 17.20% 14 days after the injury.ConclusionsA mass of gene expression changes occurs after the optic nerve injury, and the comprehensive view on the gene expression pattern following the optic nerve injury is crucial to discover the mechanism of post-injury reaction and regeneration.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005,21:163-166)

When a clustered coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic occurs, how to prevent and control hospital infection is a challenge faced by each medical institution. Under the normalization situation, building an effective prevention and control system is the premise and foundation for medical institutions to effectively prevent and control infection when dealing with clustered epidemics. According to the principles of control theory, medical institutions should quickly switch to an emergency state, and effectively deal with the external and internal infection risks brought by clustered epidemics by strengthening source control measures, engineering control measures, management control measures and personal protection measures. This article summarizes the experience of handling clustered outbreaks in medical institutions in the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019, and aims to provide a reference for medical institutions to take effective prevention and control measures when dealing with clustered outbreaks.

ObjectiveTo research on the influence of cluster management on the nutritional intervention for nasopharynx cancer patients undergoing intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), in order to discuss effective and feasible nutrition management method.
MethodEighty-three nasopharynx cancer patients undergoing IMRT between June 2013 and December 2014 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into two groups randomly. Regular health education and nutritional guidance were carried out for the 41 patients in the control group, while nutritional risk screening (NRS)-2002 nutrition screening, nutrition assessment and nutritional intervention were carried out for the 42 patients in the intervention group. Nutrition risk, nutritional status and side-reaction were recorded and evaluated for both groups of patients.
ResultsAfter treatment, NRS-2002 score of the intervention group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Body weight, constitutional index, skinfold thickness of triceps brachii muscle, mid-arm circumference and mid-arm muscle circumference of the intervention group were better than the control group (P<0.05). Total serum protein, serum albumin, serum transferrin were better and the rate of levelⅢ-Ⅳ radiation-induced oral mucositis was lower in the intervention group than that in the control group (P<0.05).
ConclusionsThe application of cluster management model in nutritional intervention is a way to promote patients' rehabilitation, which can effectively improve the whole body situation of nasopharynx cancer patients, and reduce malnutrition rate and side-reaction.
Objective To set up healthcare device-technology deployment assessment model and procedures through establishing the assessment parameter system between the functions of the clinical technical requirements and devices. Methods The bidirectional assessment parameter system developed by the literature review and Delphi, then combination weighting calculated by the combination weighting method, and the proposals for function deployment performed on the cluster analysis. Results The positive coefficients of twice Delphi were 75.56% and 87.50%, respectively. The effective recovery rates of the questionnaire were higher. The structure of the bidirectional assessment parameter system acquired according to the data mining and review, Delphi and integrated analysis. We calculated the weighting for the required functions and the deployed functions of the ventilator in the ICU, ER and RR. We listed the absolute importance and rank. The proposals for the function deployment of the ventilator which met different needs in fields of the critical care medicine were produced by the cluster analysis, ranking absolute importance and the calibration of weighting based on the investigation for actual function utilized rate. Conclusion It studies healthcare device-technology deployment assessment model by sequential integrated methods and sets up bidirectional assessment parameter system based on clinical technical function requirement, and the result is effective.

MethodsEight nurses who entered the Department of Neurosurgery in January 2013 were set as control group and the 8 new nurses entering in January 2014 as the observation group. The control group was adopted the traditional training methods, while the observation group underwent used extra cluster intervention. The differences in the results of theory, technology, operation and the 360-degree evaluation between the two groups were analyzed at the end of year.
ResultsIn the observation group, the median theory examination score was 91.50, median operation assessment grades was 95.00, which were higher than those in the control group (82.00 and 83.00). The average scores of 360-degree evaluation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group with a significant difference (P < 0.01).
ConclusionsIntensive intervention should be used for new nurses' training. It helps to improve the training effect and new nurses' ability.
