Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Zhuang medical sinew therapy forcervical spondylotic radiculopathy and provide reliable experimental data and scientific evidence for the establishment of clinical technical operation standardization.Method Eighty patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 40 cases each.The control group took Jingfukang granules with hot water and the treatment group received Zhuang medical sinew therapy.The therapeutic effects were compared after one course of treatment.The 20-point scale score and the VAS score were recorded in the patients before and after treatment.Result Thirty-eight patients in the treatment group and 36 patients in the control group completed the required treatments. The total efficacy rate was 92.1% in the treatment group and 72.2% in the control group;there was a statistically significant difference between the twogroups(P<0.05).There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the Japanese 20-point scale score and the VAS score between the two groups (P<0.05).Theresults showed that the Japanese 20-point scale score and the VAS score improved more in thetreatment group.Conclusion Zhuang medical sinewtherapy has a marked effect oncervical spondylotic radiculopathy.

The characteristics of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) include sudden decline of visual acuity, sector-shaped visual field defect connected with the physiological blind spot or hemi-visual field defect, and optic disc edema. Early angiographic abnormalities of optic disc and peripapillary choroidal circulation are important cues for the diagnosis. Angiography combined with visual field test can make the diagnosis more accurate. The pathological mechanism and process of NAION and ischemic cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease are essentially the same. There are several critical issues in this field we need focus on, including strengthening the cooperation with relevant professional disciplines; improving the ocular ischemia through drugs, intervention and other means; preventing more serious cardiovascular events and intervening in a number of high-risk populations to reduce the incidence of AION.

AIM:To analyse the risk factors of age, sex, course, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),diopter and fundus features of high myopes with progressive high myopia. METHODS: A total of 167 patients with high myopes were categorized into four groups: group 1,age of 29 years or younger; group 2,between the age of 30 to 49 years; group 3,between the age of 50 to 69 years and group 4,age of 70 years or older. The refractive errors of all patients were measured without cycloplegia with an autorefractometer. Data of the spherical equivalent(SE) of the refractive errors in diopters (D)and fundus examed by direct ophthalmoscope were used in statistical analyses.RESULTS: The number of female was statistically larger than that of male(P＜0.01),also the disease course was correlated to the age. The visual acuity of high myopes significantly decreased as they grew older including the higher incidence of lacquer cracker, submacular hemorrhage, Fuchs spots, chorioretinal atrophy . CONCLUSION: Female maybe a risk factor of high myopia, advanced age is an important factor of visual acuity decrease. High myopes ought to be treated early to delay the progress of myopia and development of macular degeneration.

Objective Diabetes is a common chronic disease in the elderly and needs long-term treatment. This study aims to determine the effect of extended nursing service in rehabilitation of army retired officers with diabetes. Methods We selected 78 ca-ses of military retired officers with diabetes from September 2010 to September 2012 in Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region. According to the different intervention methods, patients were divided into experimental group and control group( n=39 cases) . The control group used conventional nursing service, and the experimental group added extended nursing service on the basis of the control group . After one year follow-up, the fasting blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbAlc) , self-rating depression scale (SDS) evaluation and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the changes of patients′ satisfaction of the two groups were observed. Results The fasting blood glucose levels and HbAlc of experimental group were significantly better than control group, with statisticalsignificance (P<0.05);The SAS scores (34.9±5.9)and SDS scores (36.9±4.5) of experimental group were significantly lower than the control group(52.3±4.2 and 55.9±3.9), with statistical significance ( t=5.489, t=5.226, P<0.05);The satisfaction degree of the exper-imental group was significantly higher than the control group (99.8%vs 79.9%, χ2=4.898, P<0.05). Conclusion the extension ofnursing service in health rehabilitation in the retired veteran cadres in the army with diabetes can effectively improve the patient′s fast-ing blood glucose levels, reduce depression, as well as improving the nursing service satisfaction.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) of blood glucose has been widely used for continuous monitoring of glucose in clinic due to high sensitivity, convenience, accessibility and shorter TAT.It has been developed rapidly in recent years. But glucose POCT is often out of control and management from central laboratory and usually it was performed by non-laboratorians.It becomes the growing concerns that how to avoid the discrepancy between POCT results and central laboratory results, how to ensure POCT quality of each batch of blood glucose results, how to solve issues in the application and ensure that patients' results are accurate and reliable. The hospital should put the POCT management under the whole management system and improve the accuracy of POCT to achieve the complete quality assurance. This article introduced the management program experiences of glucose POCT in Huashan hospital according to the JCI accreditation and CAP-LAP.

Objective To observe the proportion changes of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease(VKH)before and after one month of treatment. Methods The peripheral blood samples from 15 patients with VKH disease before and after one month of treatment by glucocorticoid,and from 15 healthy volunteers were collected,and lymphoeytes were separated from them.CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells were Iabeled by antibodies of cell surface marker CD4、CD25 and transcription factor FOXP3.The proportion of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. Results Before the treatment,the percentage of CD4+ CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in periphery blood was(0.30±0.19)%of CD4+ cell in VKH patients,and(1.41±0.52)%in control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=7.665,P＜0.01);after one month of treatment,the VKH patients group was(1.28±0.54)%which close to the control group.However there were two patients whose CD4+ CD25+ T cells inereased extraordinarily after one month of treatment. Conclusions The proportion of CD4+ CD25+ FOCP3+ T cells in periphery blood in VKH patients were lower than control group obviously before treatment,but were close to eontrol group after treatment.Those results indicated that VKH diseases may be associated with the decreased proportion of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells.
