Background Reliable intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is essential in glaucomatous study.TonoLab is a newly designed tonometer for small animals,however,its repeatability and reproducibility remains unknown.Objective This study aimed to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of TonoLab rebound tonometer in DBA/2J mice.Methods Intraocular pressure was measured in both eyes of 63 DBA/2J mice aged 7 months under systemic anesthesia with TonoLab rebound tonometer.IOP of each eye was measured for 3 times by two observers independently and consecutively using TonoLab rebound tonometer,and the data were obtained in single blind method.Within standard deviation (Sw),interclass correlation coefficient (ICC),within coefficient of variation (CVw) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the repeatability of measuring result from single observer,and Bland-Altman method was used to assess the agreement between two observers.The abnormal data which affected repeatability was analyzed.Results Among the 126 eyes,105 eyes showed the normal IOP with mean value (12.98 ± 1.05) mmHg from observer 1 and (12.41 ±0.92) mmHg from observer 2.Ocular hypertension was found in 21 eyes with mean value (27.76 ± 1.95) mmHg and (27.49 ± 1.28) mmHg for observer 1 and observer 2 respectively.Sw,ICC and CVw for observer 1/observer 2 were 1.34/1.11 mmHg,0.90/0.92,8.24%/7.42% in normal eyes and 2.21/1.49 mmHg,0.89/0.95,6.97%/4.82% in hypertensive eyes.The average bias between two measuring values from different observers was 0.60 mmHg in the normal eyes (95% CI:-5.20-6.30 mmHg) and 0.30 mmHg in the hypertensive eyes (95% CI:-7.30-7.80 mmHg).Conclusions TonoLab rebound tonometer can offer a good intraobserver repeatability in both normal and hypertensive eyes in mice,but the agreement between two observers is outside an acceptable level.So we consider IOP in mice obtained by TonoLab rebound tonometer is reliable and accurate from a single observer.

Objective:To study the effect of totally endoscopic surgery and Miccoli surgery for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. Methods Totally 64 patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma from April 2013 to April 2014 in our hospital were divided into the ob-servation group and the control group according to a random number table.And the intraoperative and postoperative situation of the two groups were compared.Results The number of lymph node dissection,postoperative hospital stay,hospital costs of the two groups had no sig-nificant difference (P >0.05).The blood loss,operative time,drainage time,amount of drainage,incision length,time of postoperative recov-ery of the observation group were significantly less than those of the control group with statistical significance (P <0.05).But the cosmetic score of observation group after operation was lower than that of the control group,and there was a significant difference (P <0.05).Postop-erative pain grade of the observation group was better than the control group with statistical significance (P <0.05).The complication rate of control group was significantly higher than the observation group (P <0.05).Conclusion Miccoli surgery for papillary thyroid microcarci-noma has more advantages compared with totally endoscopic surgery in terms of blood loss,operative time,drainage time,amount of drainage, incision length,time of postoperative recovery,and degree of pain.Moreover,it has a lower complication rate and high security,which should be the first choice in clinic surgery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a fractional bipolar radiofrequency device for the treatment of wrinkles of the face and neck.Methods This study enrolled 39 volunteers (including 37 females and 2 males aged 35-60 years) with Fitzpatrick skin type Ⅳ-Ⅴ and Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale score of 4-6.All the subjects received three sessions of treatment with a fractional bipolar radiofrequency device at intervals of 4-6 weeks.Follow-up visits were scheduled at one month after each treatment session for evaluation of efficacy (using standardized photography),subjective satisfaction and adverse effects.Results After three sessions of treatment,all the subjects experienced a significant decrease in Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale compared with baseline values,and wrinkle improvement score increased with the increase in treatment sessions.The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale score for forehead wrinkles,glabella wrinkles,fishtail lines and neck wrinkles in these subjects after three sessions of treatment significandy differed from that before treatment (all P < 0.01).Significant differences were also observed in the wrinkle improvement score for forehead wrinkles between these subjects after two sessions and one session of treatment (P < 0.01),and observed in that for glabella wrinkles,fishtail lines and neck wrinkles between these subjects after three sessions and one session of treatment (P < 0.05 or 0.01).Side effects were mild with no significant downtime.Conclusion Fractional bipolar radiofrequency may be a safe and effective option for the treatment of wrinkles of the face and neck in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin type Ⅳ-Ⅴ.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of the collaboration application of hospital information system (HIS) andsmart chaininventory automation management system(SPD)in drug distribution enterprises on drug logistics management,and achieve the centralized distribution of drugs. METHODS:Related countermeasures in achieving the informatization and scientiza-tion of drug inventory management after the collaboration application of HIS and SPD were introduced,and effectiveness analysis was conducted for the inventory management by comparing related indicators before and after collaboration application. RESULTS:Through the establishment ofunified receiving platformsystem and barcode technology that combined with HIS and SPD,drug barcode acceptance was achieved;setting drug fixed package and scanning fixed cards in outer packing in theunified receiving platformsystem can achieve automatic out-and into-storehouse and generating purchase plan;the collaboration application of HIS and SPD achieved drug concentration distribution. Compared with before,monthly inventory amount was decreased 27.07%(P<0.05)in the condition that both drug purchases and sales amount were increased,into-warehouse time of pharmacy acceptance was decreased from 6-12 s in each drug to 10-15 s in each order,pharmacy staff dropped from 2.5 to 2 persons. CONCLUSIONS:The collaboration application of HIS and SPD in drug logistics management has improved efficiency of warehouse,reduced drug inven-tory and achieved the informatization and scientization of drug inventory management.

Objective:To detect expression level of miR-410 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),and to expose the role of miR-410 and its target genes by bioinformatics methods.Methods:Expression level of miR-410 were detected by quantitative RT-PCR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of SLE patients,and miR-410 sequence,its target genes and Genecards database were analyzed,and analysis of GO enrichment and KEGG Pathway was further performed.Results:miR-410 expression was significantly reduced in SLE patients,and its nucleotide sequence was highly conserved among species.These genes that were predicted to be regulated by miR-410 and associated with LE pathogenesis,included FASLG,CSF2,IFNAR2,MAPK1,PLCG2,IL4 and other genes.Analysis of GO enrichment revealed that miR-410's target genes were involved in cell growth,proliferation,programmed cell death,cell differentiation,immune system development and other biological activities.Analysis of KEGG Pathway showed that the target genes of miR-410 were significantly enriched in a series of signaling pathways including pathways in cancer,cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,glioma,melanoma,TGF-β and JAK-STAT signaling pathway.Conclusion:miR-410 maybe directly regulate its target molecules,mediate various signal pathway networks,thus participate in the occurrence and development of SLE.
