Objective To compare the ocular parameters measured by 2 biometry devices Tomey OA-2000 and IOLMaster in cataract eyes.Methods A total of 74 cataract patients (74 eyes) were included in this prospective study.Ocular parameters,including axial length (AL),keratometry (K),anterior chamber depth (ACD) and white to white (WTW),were obtained from Tomey OA-2000 and IOLMaster,respectively.Paired t-test was applied to analyze the differences of ocular parameters from Tomey OA-2000 and IOLMaster,while Bland-Altman plot was used to assess the agreement of these ocular parameters.Results The AL,flat K,steep K,mean K,central corneal thickness (CCT),ACD,lens thickness,pupil diameter and WTW values measured by Tomey OA-2000 were (24.26 ± 2.71) mm,(44.09 ± 1.76) D,(45.01 ± 1.73) D,(44.55 ± 1.72)D,(518.41 ±34.18) μm,(3.07 ±0.48)mm,(4.48 ±0.61)mm,(4.07 ±0.95)mm and (11.50 ± 0.52)mm respectively.Values of AL,flat K,steep K,mean K,ACD and WTW from IOLMaster were (24.33 ± 2.69) mm,(44.21 ± 1.74) mm,(45.15 ± 1.76) D,(44.69 ± 1.74) D,(3.04 ± 0.46)mm and (11.65 ± 0.41) mm respectively.The difference values of AL,flat K,steep K,mean K,ACD and WTW between Tomey OA-2000 and IOLMaster were (-0.07 ±0.10) mm (t =-5.99,P<0.01),(-0.12 ± 0.21) D (t =-4.14,P<0.01),(-0.14 ± 0.20)D (t =-5.88,P<0.01),(-0.12 ±0.13) D (t =-7.44,P<0.01),(0.03 ±0.14) mm (t=1.99,P=0.05) and (-0.14±0.32) mm (t=-3.73,P<0.01) respectively.The 95% limits of agreement (LoA) of the AL,flat K,steep K,mean K,ACD obtained from the two devices was 0.27 mm,0.50 D,0.53 D,0.38 D,0.30 mm,respectively,and the agreement was good;95% LoA of WTW was 0.78 mm,and the consistency was poor.Conclusion The differences of AL,K values and ACD between Tomey OA-2000 and IOLMaster were small,suggesting the agreement is unified.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the safety of linezolid (LZD) for elderly patients,and probe into the regularity of adverse reaction (ADR).METHODS:In retrospective study,elderly patients treated with LZD injection or tablets were selected from our hospital during Jan.2014-Dec.2015.The occurrence of ADRs were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:A total of 126 patients were included,the age was from 65 to 94 year-old,and the mean duration of treatment was (9.47 ± 6.31) d (ranged 1-35 d).Forty-five cases suffered from ADR after medication (35.71%),followed by 39 cases of thrombocytopenia (30.95%),9 cases of leukocytopenia(7.14 %),7 cases of hemoglobin reduction (5.55 %),6 cases of nausea and vomiting (4.76 %),4 cases of transaminase elevation (3.17%),4 cases of diarrhea (3.17%),2 cases of lactic acidosis (1.59%),2 cases of skin rash (1.59%) and 1 case of drug fever (0.79%).The incidence of thrombocytopenia in ICU patients was significantly higher than non-ICU patients,with statistical significance (P=0.019).There was no significant difference among different dosage forms of LZD without statistical significance (P=0.218).CONCLUSIONS:Clinicians and pharmacists should closely monitor the application of LZD in elderly patients,pay more attention to ADR induced by LZD,especially in ICU,it induces the high incidence of thrombocytopenia.Meanwhile,it is suggested to monitor serum lactate concentrations regularly during treatment.

Regional medical alliances help distribute high-quality medical resources to primary healthcare institutions.Under the guidance of " Internet-plus Healthcare" and " Hierarchical Medical System"policies, pharmacists are also exploring new management approaches for discharged patients with chronic diseases.The authors developed a Chronic Care Management(CCM)platform based on mobile App Yi Xing, and carried out full-range CCM for discharged patients in cooperation with pharmacists within the alliance. This CCM practice can contribute to an innovative transformation of pharmaceutical care, deliver high-quality pharmaceutical care to primary institutions, improve patients adherences and efficacy of medication, reduce adverse reactions, and save costs.

Objective:To explore the value of convalescent somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in formulating a prognosis for children with severe disorders of consciousness (DOC) caused by brain trauma, infection or hypoxia.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study of 286 children with DOC children treated between 2013 and 2021. They were divided into a trauma group ( n=103), an intracranial infection group ( n=101), a hypoxia group ( n=42) and an other-causes group ( n=40). Their consciousness status and functional recovery were obtained in follow-up appointments, and their functional condition 1 year after discharge was assessed using the modified Glasgow Outcome scale (GOS). Results:During 8-year follow-up, 16 had died, with 4 deaths within 1 year. Among the 191 cases followed up to 1 year, children with a bilateral N20 SEP had significantly better functional outcomes than those with unilateral or bilateral N20 absence. For the trauma group, the presence of a bilateral N20 signal was a strong indicator of good functional outcome at the 1-year follow-up, with a specificity of 90.9%, sensitivity of 55.6%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 92.6%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 50% and a positive likelihood rate (PLR) of 6.111. However, for the intracranial infection group, the presence of N20 had a low specificity for predicting good outcomes, though the absence of an N20 potential predicted poor functional outcome at 1 year with a specificity of 82.4%, sensitivity of 62.1%, PPV of 75%, and PLR of 3.517. For the hypoxic group, bilateral N20 could not predict a good prognosis, though its absence meant a poor outcome, with a specificity of 87.5%, sensitivity of 63.6%, PPV of 93.3%, and PLR of 5.818.Conclusion:SEPs during the recovery period can help to formulate a prognosis for children with severe DOC. Traumatic brain injury and the presence of bilateral N20 potentials can be used as a good prognostic indicator. For intracranial infection and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, the absence of an N20 potential indicates a poor prognosis.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical value of the the hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma.
Methods:
20 patients surgical treatment data of the hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma from January 2013 to July 2019 were reviewed.
Results:
The simultaneous hypopharynx and esophageal carcinoma 11 cases. The heterochronic hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma 9 cases. 20 cases are all squamous cell carcinoma. The synchronus operation included total pharyngolaryngo esophagectomy, gastric tube interposition pharyngo gastric anastomic, neck and mediastinal lymph nodes dissection, tracheostomy. The heterochronic operation included the first stage radical hypopharygealectomy, the second stage radical esophagealectomy. Postoperative complications included in hospital death in one, double pneumonia in 3 and anastomosis stricture in one case. Pharynx gastric fistula in 2. Swallowing function were all recovered.
Conclusion
Although laryngo pharyngo esophagectomy and pharyngogastric anastomoses for the hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma is a simple and acceptable procedure, the quality of life is not satisfactory. And although colon interpasation for esophageal replacement is complicated the quality of life is the best.
