Objective To determine the characteristics and the best parameters of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods The thickness of RNFL was quantified by OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Stratus OCT3000 version 3, RNFL3.4) in 71 POAGs(119 eyes) and 76 controls(148 eyes). Results The 9 OCT parameters with the largest AUCs and asymptatic significance less than 0.05 in ROC curve in the early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were thickness of 6, 7, 11 o’clock position, inferior, superior, average thickness, inferior maximum, superior average, inferior average. Conclusion In early stage of glaucoma, the thickness of RNFL measured by OCT provides a new index for the diagnosis of glaucoma. The best parameters seem to 6, 7, 11 o’clock position, inferior, superior, average thickess, inferior maximum, superior average, inferior average.

Objective: To investigate the case-mix method by clinical pathway. Methods: K-MEANS cluster analysis was applied to case-mix classification and artificial neural network was used for case-mix prediction. Results: Five hundred and twenty three inpatient records constructed a case-mix classification scheme of 4 groups.Statistical significant difference of costs existed in 4 groups.The training error of artificial neural network was low(0.0 029) and the predicting result was accurate(98.91%). Conclusion: Case-mix result was more reasonable using records under clinical pathway.The existing models of case-mix depend on dividing individual variables, but artificial neural network does not.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of perforated bovine amnion combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) on degree Ⅱ burn wounds.METHODS: A total of 43 patients with small and medium-size thermal burn were collected, and the area of testing wound was 1% -2%. The wounds with the same nature were divided into three groups: perforated bovine amnion (treatment group), bovine amnion (control 1 group), and vaseline gauze dressing (control 2 group). All the three groups combined with rb-bFGF. RESULTS: Compared with control 1 group (P < 0.01) and control 2 group (P < 0.05), the treatment group could obviously decrease the healing time of deep degree Ⅱ burn wounds. For superficial degree Ⅱ burn wounds, compared with the control 2 group, the treatment group could also decrease the healing time; however, there was no significant difference between treatment group and control 1 group (P > 0.05). Dressing was not changed frequently, and the pain was relieved. Rash or other adverse effects were not detected in the three groups.CONCLUSION: The combination of perforated bovine amnion and rb-bFGF can obviously promote the healing of burn wounds.

Objective: To study the clinical effect of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in the treatment of early non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods: 130 cases with early NSCLC were selected.According to random number table, the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, 65 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, while the control group was treated with thoracotomy.The perioperative period of the two groups was compared, 24h before operation and 24h after operation, the changes of T lymphocyte subsets(CD₃⁺ , CD₄⁺ , CD₄⁺ /CD₈⁺ ) were measured, and the postoperative complications were recorded.The patients were followed up for one year, the survival rate and recurrence rate were recorded. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the number of lymph node dissection between the two groups(t=1.023, P>0.05). The operation time of the observation group was significantly longer than that of the control group(t=6.479, P<0.05), the amount of bleeding of the observation group was significantly less than that of the control group, the postoperative drainage time and ambulation time of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group, the pain score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant(t=17.081, 16.040, 39.443, 21.237, all P<0.05). After operation, the CD₃⁺ , CD₄⁺ , CD₄⁺ /CD₈⁺ in the two groups were significantly reduced compared with before operation(observation group: t=5.591, 5.300, 4.300; the control group: t=10.450, 10.735, 4.883, all P<0.05), the CD₃⁺ , CD₄⁺ , CD₄⁺ /CD₈⁺ of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group[(58.95±7.58)% vs.(52.42±7.52)%, (34.83±3.75)% vs.(30.07±3.12)%, (1.21±0.17) vs.(1.15±0.13), t=4.931, 7.867, 2.260, all P<0.05]. The incidence rate of complications of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group[6.15%(4/65) vs.18.46%(12/65), χ²=4.561, P<0.05]. The patients were followed up for 1 year, there were no statistically significant differences in survival and recurrence between the two groups(χ²=0.367, 0.208, all P>0.05). Conclusion Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is well for early NSCLC patients, with advantages of small trauma, quick recovery, and it can help to protect the immune function of the organism, the clinical value is high.

Objective To examine short-term outcomes and long-term survival of elderly patients (aged over 80 years) with colorectal cancer who received laparoscopic versus open surgery. Methods A total of 313 patients over 80 years old with colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery were included.According to the surgical method, all patients were divided into open-surgery group (n=143) and laparoscopic surgery group (n=170).Baseline data were balanced between the two groups by using propensity score matching.Kaplan-Meier was used to draw the survival curve, and survival was compared by Log rank tests.Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the effects of all factors on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results After matching, 93 patients were included in each group.The mean intraoperative blood loss, the incidence of overall postoperative complications and gradeⅠ-Ⅱ complications in the laparoscopic surgery group were significantly lower than those in the open surgery group (all P < 0.05).The time to first flatus, the time to oral feeding, and postoperative hospital stays in the laparoscopic surgery group were significantly shorter than those in the open surgery group (all P < 0.05).The mean number of lymph-node dissection was also significantly higher in the laparoscopic surgery group than in the open surgery group (P=0.030).Patients in both groups had similar 5-year OS (P=0.594) and DFS (P=0.295).Multivariate Cox prognostic analysis showed that CEA level > 5 ng/ml, pathological TNM stage Ⅲ, and perineural invasion were independent risk factors for poor OS and DFS. Conclusion Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic surgery can provide better short-term advantages and similar long-term outcomes for colorectal cancer patients over 80 years of age.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and genetic variations of stage Ⅰ lung adenocarci-noma with high-grade components,according to the new grading system of the WHO classification of thoracic tumors(2021).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clini-cal data of 785 patients with stage Ⅰ lung adenocarcinoma.HE,EnVision immunohistochemistry and Victoria blue staining were used,common genetic variation(EGFR/KRAS/ALK/ROS1/RET)were detected by PCR method.The correlation between different high-grade components and clinical pathological charac-teristics as well as genetic variations in stage Ⅰ lung adenocarci-noma were analyzed.Results A total of 785 cases of stage Ⅰlung adenocarcinoma were enrolled,including 332 cases with high-grade components and 453 cases without high-grade compo-nents.Among the adenocarcinomas with high-grade components,there were 7 cases of grade 1,150 cases of grade 2,and 175 ca-ses of grade 3.The positive rates of tumor cells spreading through airspace(STAS),vascular invasion,and pleural inva-sion in grade 2 adenocarcinoma with two high-grade components(61.5％,21.2％,26.9％)were significantly higher than that of the adenocarcinomas with only one high-grade component(20.4％,7.1％,5.1％),but there was no significant differ-ence in grade 3 adenocarcinoma.The positive rate(39.0％)of STAS in the micropapillary group with one high-grade component in grade 2 adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than that in the complex glandular group(9.3％)and the solid group(0),while there was no significant difference between the latter two groups.Among the three groups there were no statistically signif-icant differences in grade 3 adenocarcinoma.In 167 cases of ad-enocarcinoma with two or more high-grade components,there were 74 cases(44.3％)of complex glands combined with mi-cropapillary components,67 cases(40.1％)of complex glands combined with solid components,8 cases(4.8％)of micropap-illary combined with solid components,and 18 cases(10.8％)of three types of components.The positive rates of pleural inva-sion and KRAS gene mutation or fusion gene(ALK/ROS1/RET)in the group of complex glands combined with solid(49.3％,28.3％)were significantly higher as compared to those in the group of complex glands combined with micropapil-lary(27.0％,8.6％).The positive rate of psammoma bodies in the group with high-grade components(24.7％)was significant-ly higher than that in those without high-grade components(3.5％,P＜0.001),and the positive rate of psammoma bodies in group of gene mutation(EGFR/KRAS)(40.4％)was higher than that in the no-gene mutation group(26.7％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The clinicopathological features of different high-grade components in stage Ⅰ lung adenocarcinoma are not identi-cal,suggesting that their invasiveness may have different biologi-cal backgrounds.Characteristic morphological observations are helpful.

Objective:To investigate the safety and feasibility of modified pararectus abdominis approach in the anterior plate fixation of sacral fractures.Methods:In 5 fresh adult cadavers (3 males and 2 females), gross anatomy was performed on one pelvic side using a modified pararectus abdominis approach to clarify the anatomical structures around the approach. On the other side of the pelvis, the anterior structures of the sacrum were exposed in simulated anterior plate fixation of sacral fracture via the modified pararectus abdominis approach. The exposed anatomic range of the approach, and the locations and courses of lumbosacral trunk nerve and iliac vessels were observed and recorded.Results:(1) The modified pararectus abdominis approach exposed the whole S1 vertebral body from the sacroiliac joint to the medial side, the L5 vertebral body cephalally, the S1 foramina in the true pelvis, and the same structures laterally as a traditional pararectus abdominis approach did. (2) Via the modified pararectus abdominis approach, exploration and decompression of the lumbosacral plexus (from L4 to S1) (including S1 foraminoplasty) were performed under direct vision to decompress the nerve entrapment from anterior compressed fracture fragments and hyperplastic callus. (3) There was a safe surgical area in anterior L5 and S1 where a plate could be safely fixed to the S1 vertebral body. (4) Since the maximum vertical distance from the lumbosacral trunk nerve lifted above the periost to the sacral ala was 1.4 cm (range, from 1.2 to 1.5 cm), a plate could be safely placed from the subperiosteum to the S1 vertebral body to fix the fracture.Conclusions:The modified pararectus abdominis approach is safe and feasible for exploration and decompression of lumbosacral nerves in the anterior sacral region (from L4 to S1) because it has significant advantages in vision and operation. It also broadens the range of anterior sacral plate fixation because a sacral fracture displacement can be reduced under direct vision and a plate can be fixated to the S1 vertebral body along the alae sacralis and across the sacroiliac joint to the iliac bone.
