ObjectiveTo investigate clinical efficacy of percutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
MethodsEighty-six patients with SAP in this hospital from August 2012 to November 2015 were selected, which were divided into percutaneous nephroscope treatment group (43 cases) and laparotomy treat-ment group (43 cases) according to the difference of therapy modality. The conventional drug therapy was performed for all of them. The postoperative recovery, content of serum C reactive protein (CRP) on day 14 after operation, and post-operative complications were observed in these two groups.
Results① The abdominal pain relief time, postoperative bowel sounds recovery time, normal body temperature recovery time, and postoperative hospitalization time in the percu-taneous nephroscope treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the laparotomy treatment group (P<0.05). ② The contents of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group and in the laparotomy treatment group on day 14 after operation were significantly lower than those on day 1 before operation[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (31.44±3.45) mg/L, P<0.05; (16.42±2.44) mg/L versus (32.09±2.98) mg/L, P<0.05]. On day 14 after operation, the content of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treat-ment group[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (16.42±2.44) mg/L, P<0.05]. ③ The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treatment group[14.0% (6/43) versus 32.6% (14/43), P<0.05].
ConclusionPercutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with SAP is effect, it has advantages of shorter hospital stay and early recovery, which could reduce incidence of postoperative complications, and it's mechanism might be related to systemic inflammatory response.
Uveitis is a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the uveal tract, retina, retinal blood vessels and vitreous. Due to its complex etiology, various entities, diverse and lack of constancy in treatment, some patients can experience visual impairment and even loss. In view of the fact that blindness caused by uveitis is mostly incurable and occurs usually in young and middle-aged people, it accounts for an important part of blinding eye diseases and has attracted worldwide attention. With the continuous development of precision medicine, clinicians will face new problems and challenges in disease diagnosis, and further in-depth research is needed to explore more optimized and efficient diagnostic processes and examinations to improve the diagnosis of uveitis in China.
ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of disaster prevention and preparedness education courses on college students’ awareness, actions and abilities of disaster prevention and preparedness, so as to provide a reference for the establishment and optimization of disaster education-related courses in colleges.MethodsStudents who took the optional course “Disaster Preparedness Education” of Sichuan University in the fall semester of 2019 to 2020 were included. Questionnaires were issued before and after the course to compare the differences in awareness, actions and abilities of disaster prevention and preparedness of college students before and after the course. We also analyzed the differences between college students of different genders and college students of different grades.ResultsFinally, 148 college students were included. After the course, college students’ awareness scores (9.24±0.61 vs. 6.11±0.52), action scores (6.89±0.70 vs. 2.65±0.58) and ability scores (33.73±1.61 vs. 18.55±1.88) of disaster prevention and preparedness were improved compared to those before the course, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Before the course, boys’ disaster prevention and preparedness awareness score was higher than that of girls (6.48±0.56 vs. 5.23±0.44), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the scores of actions or abilities of disaster prevention and preparedness between boys and girls (P>0.05). After the course, there was no statistically significant difference in any of the scores between boys and girls (P>0.05). Before and after the course, there was no statistically significant difference in any of the scores between the senior college students and the lower college students (P>0.05). College students’ overall satisfaction with disaster preparedness education was relatively high, with the highest scores for teaching methods and assessment methods.ConclusionDisaster preparedness education courses have a positive effect on improving the comprehensive qualities of college students’ disaster preparedness awareness, actions, and abilities, but it is necessary to attract more college students to participate and increase the scope of the course.
Diabetic macular edema is the leading cause of central vision loss and even blindness in diabetic retinopathy. Compared to FFA, OCT can obtain the high-resolution 3D image quickly, easily to reflect the details of the tissue and realize the quantitative measurement. As a novel technology, OCT angiography (OCTA) can display microvascular structure from different layers of retina and choroid, having its advantage of quantifying the vessel density and the lesion area. By detecting fundus morphology, quantifying and quantitating the retinal vessels and vessel density, the combination of OCT and OCTA could play a guiding role in diagnosis, classification, treatment and prognosis of diabetic macular edema.
Objective To analyze the potential causal relationship between sunscreen/ultraviolet protection and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma using a two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study method. Methods The summary data of genome-wide association study was used to select three types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, namely diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma, T/NK cell lymphoma, and sunscreen/ultraviolet protection highly correlated genetic loci, namely single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), as instrumental variables. The reverse variance weighting method was used as the main method for MR analysis, MR Egger and MR-PRESO were used to detect level pleiotropy, and leave-one-out method was used for sensitivity analysis to ensure the robustness of the results. Results A total of 132 SNPs were included in the analysis. The results of the inverse variance weighted analysis showed that sunscreen/ultraviolet protection increased the incidence of DLBCL [odds ratio=2.439, 95% confidence interval (1.109, 5.362), P=0.027]. The heterogeneity test results showed that there was no heterogeneity in the causal relationship between sunscreen/ultraviolet protection and DLBCL (P>0.05). The results of the horizontal pleiotropy test showed that SNP did not exhibit horizontal pleiotropy (P>0.05). The leave-one-out method showed that no SNP with a significant impact on the results was found. There was no causal relationship between sunscreen/ultraviolet protection and follicular lymphoma and T/NK cell lymphoma. Conclusion There is a positive causal relationship between sunscreen/ultraviolet protection and the incidence of DLBCL.
Objective To analyze the major complications and predictive factors of amputees during postoperative hospitalization, and provide a reference for amputees nursing and early rehabilitation. Methods Using the bibliometric method, we searched Embase, Ovid, Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and CQVIP databases for the data of postoperative hospitalization of amputees published from January 1st, 2008 to April 5th, 2022. Statistical description and analysis of article types, sample size, reasons for amputation, amputation sites, complications, influencing factors, predictive factors, and treatment recommendations were performed.Results Finally, 19 articles were included, including 16 in English and 3 in Chinese, all of which were quantitative studies. The literature quality scores were greater than or equal to 7 points, which were all good or excellent. The type of articles were mainly retrospective research (n=15), and the research contents were mainly lower limb amputation. The main reasons for amputation were peripheral vascular disease and diabetes mellitus (n=11). Wound infection, anemia, phantom limb pain, and psychological problems were common complications after amputation. Predictors of complications, secondary operations, and death included age, gender, smoking, drinking, obesity, preoperative comorbidities, level of amputation, anesthesia methods and other factors. Conclusions The focus of acute care after amputation should be wound healing, pain control, proximal physical movement and emotional support, especially for amputees who have prominent postoperative psychological problems. These patients need early psychological disease screening and mental support. After amputation, multi-disciplinary and multi-team coordinated care are needed to achieve both physical and psychological healing of the patient and promote early recovery.
In the expert consensus published by the Pediatrics in 2013, it was first proposed that anti-VEGF drugs can be considered for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with stage 3, zone Ⅰ with plus disease. However, there are many problems worth the attention of ophthalmologists, including the advantages and disadvantages of anti-VEGF therapy compared with traditional laser therapy, systemic and ocular complications after anti-VEGF therapy, and what indicators are the end points of anti-VEGF therapy. Combined with this consensus and numerous research findings, we recommend that the first treatment for anti-VEGF or laser therapy should be considered from disease control effects. For the threshold and pre-threshold lesions, the effect of anti-VEGF therapy for zoneⅡ lesions is better than that for zone Ⅰ lesions and the single-time effective rate is high. So, it is suggested that anti-VEGF therapy should be preferred for the first treatment. The choice of repeat treatment should be considered from the final retinal structure and functional prognosis. Laser therapy is advisable for the abnormal vascular regression slower and abnormalities in the posterior pole. It can reduce the number of reexaminations and prolong the interval between re-examinations. However, the premature use of laser has an inevitable effect on peripheral vision field. Excluding the above problems, supplemental therapy can still choose anti-VEGF therapy again. Most of the children with twice anti-VEGF therapy are sufficient to control the disease. Anti-VEGF therapy should be terminated when there are signs such as plus regression, threshold or pre-threshold lesions controlled without recurrence, peripheral vascularization, etc.

Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) is commonly used to treat arrhythmias. The amount of CIED implantation has increased year by year since its first application in 1958. At the same time, the CIED infection rate also increases significantly. Although the infection rate is very low for the primary implantation, the consequences of CIED infection are serious, and it is often necessary to remove the equipment for treatment. The mortality rate in patients with CIED infections is high, and the economic burden is huge. In this paper, the epidemiology, pathogenesis and pathogen, manifestations and diagnosis, risk factors, treatment and preventive measures of CIED infection were systematically described based on the recently published guidelines and international consensus literature, so as to provide theoretical guidance for the prevention of CIED infections.
Objective To investingate the ultrastructural changes of retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) and its permeability in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR)and explore the relation between these changes and hypertensive retinopathy.MethodsThe ultrastructure of RPE cells in the SHR aged five,six,seven months wasobserved with transmission electronmicroscope and compared to its normotensive control strain(WKY) with the same age.Then,lanthanum tracer procedures were carried out to investigate pathological changes of the blood-retinal barrier.Results (1)In SHR the main pathological changes involved swelling of mitochondria,enlargement of endoplasmic reticula,decrease of RPE cell infolding,and sparseness of microvilli.These degenerations were more serious in older rats with higher blood pressure.(2)The breakdown of outer blood-retinal barrier with permeation of lanthanum tracers were evident in SHR aged six or seven month,however,in WKY and five-month SHR the traces were prevented from passing by tight junctions.ConclusionThe degeneration of RPE owing to ischemia and anoxia arises in early periosd of hypertensive retinopathy.The pathological changes of ultrastructure and permeability might interact with the damage of visual cells and play a main role in the hypertensive retinopathy.
