1.Medical imaging in the diagnosis of ocular fundus diseases
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2011;27(2):109-113
Ophthalmic imaging including radiographic imaging, acoustic imaging and optical imaging,as a branch of medical imaging has developed rapidly. Optical imaging is very suitable for fundus examination because of the physiological characteristics of the eye. Ophthalmoscope and fundus fluorescein angiography are two historical stages of fundus optical imaging, which become an independent new discipline now, including infrared fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. Comprehensive optical imaging plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of ocular fundus diseases. Appropriate understanding the principles and significance of various optical imaging methods is very important for their clinical applications.

Persistent infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains as a worldwide threat to public health,which involves a complex interaction between virus- and host related factors.HCV is classified as six genotypes and many subtypes according to the sequence heterogenecity.HCV genotype should be determined prior to treatment initiation since it plays a key role in selection of therapeutic regimen for chronic hepatitis C.Development of the antiviral treatment with protease inhibitor in combination with pegylated IFN-α and ribavirin requires the accurate determination of subtypes,e.g. 1a and 1b,as well.Genotyping methods based onsequenceanalysis, reversehybridizationorreal-timePCRhavebeendevelopedand evaluated.Some issues,however,should be settled to standardize the utility and result interpretation of these methods.More recently,host genotypes of IL28B have been found to be closely associated with HCV spontaneous clearance and the response to antiviral therapy.Moreover,polymorphisms in inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase gene affect ribavirin-induced anemia.Therefore, host genotyping will be beneficial in predicting the outcome of chronic hepatitis C and monitoring the drug-induced adverse events.

Objective To study the growth rhythm of height, diameter at ground and the distribution of biomass of annual seedlings of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Methods Dynamic measurings were carried out after sowing to determine the indexes including the growth quantity and biomass of overground and underground part of annual seedlings of G. uralensis. Results The growing period can be divided into four stages: the emergence phase, initiation phase, prosperous phase, and late phase. The growth quantity during the prosperity period accounted to 63.3% and 50.2% of biomass of the whole year. The growth rate of root was much higher than that of the stem and leaf. The accumulating rate of biomass is the highest during the period of the July 20th to September 20th. The biomass distribution ratio of root, stem, and leaf was 49.02∶17.75∶33.23, and the biomass ratio of underground part to overground part was 0.96. According to regression analysis, the height and diameter at ground were liner correlation with underground biomass and total biomass was individually larger than that of two biomasses of diameter at ground. Conclusion The growth pattern of the height and diameter at ground is accordance with S curve and can be simulated with Logistic equation. The height and diameter at ground is linearly correlation with the underground biomass and total biomass.

Objective:
To investigate the current status and influencing factors of knowledge, attitude, and practice of hypertension prevention and control among rural residents in Shanxi Province, so as to provide insights into implementation of health education pertaining to hypertension control in rural areas.
Methods:
A total of 7 403 residents were sampled using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method from rural areas of Yangqu, Daning, and Yonghe counties of Shanxi Province from November 2020 to July 2021 for face-to-face questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. Residents' basic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and practice of hypertension prevention and control, and height, weight, blood pressure were collected, and factors affecting knowledge, attitude, and practice of hypertension prevention and control were identified using a generalized linear model.
Results:
A total of 7 403 questionnaires were allocated, and 7 031 effective questionnaires were recovered, with an effective response rate of 94.98%. The respondents included 3 035 men (43.17%) and 3 996 women (56.83%), and had a mean age of (58.45±13.75) years. The median scores of hypertension prevention and control knowledge, attitude and practice were 5 (interquartile range, 4), 16 (interquartile range, 5) and 14 (interquartile range, 7) points, with scoring percentages of 48.40%, 80.55% and 54.41%, respectively. Generalized linear model analysis showed that an educational level of junior high school and above, annual family income per capita of ≥4 000 RMB, family history of hypertension, development of hypertension among family members or friends, overweight/obesity and presence of depression resulted in high scores for hypertension prevention and control knowledge; annual family income per capita of ≥10 000 RMB, family history of hypertension, presence of hypertension among family members or friends, mild/severe insomnia and presence of depression resulted in high scores for hypertension prevention and control attitude, while age of ≥65 years and blood pressure of ≥140/≥90 mmHg resulted in low scores for attitude; females, age of ≥45 years, an educational level of junior high school and above, blood pressure of ≥140/≥90 mmHg, family history of hypertension, presence of hypertension among family members or friends and overweight/obesity resulted in high scores for hypertension prevention and control practice, and residents had a low body weight had a low score for practice (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The hypertension prevention and control attitude is satisfactory among rural residents in Shanxi Province; however, the hypertension prevention and control knowledge and practice are poor. Health education pertaining to hypertension prevention and control should be strengthened, and personalized health education is needed targeting individuals with a low educational level and low income.

BACKGROUND: With the continuous renewal and development of clinical repair techniques, the intraoperatie blood loss has been greatly reduced in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture; however, no matter what kind of repair methods should be adopted, there are stil a large amount of perioperative hidden blood loss, however, there are few clinical reports for the reasons and related factors. OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation of perioperative hidden blood loss with gender and internal fixation methods in the surgery of elderly femoral intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS: Total y 121 patients with elderly femoral intertrochanteric fractures who received the treatment at Department of Orthopedics, Nanyang City Center Hospital from March 2010 to June 2013 were divided into two groups according to the condition and treatment wishes of patients, and were respectively treated with dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedul ary nail internal fixation. The preoperative hidden blood loss, postoperative hidden blood loss, the total hidden blood loss, dominant blood loss and total blood loss of patients in these two groups were compared. The multiple linear regression analysis on the correlation of perioperative hidden blood loss with gender and internal fixation methods was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in the preoperative hidden blood loss between these two groups (P > 0.05). The total blood loss, postoperative hidden blood loss and total hidden blood loss in the proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedul ary nail group were significantly higher than those in the dynamic hip screw group (P < 0.05), and the dominant blood loss was significantly lower than that in the dynamic hip screw group (P <0.05). There were significant differences in the preoperative, postoperative hidden blood loss and total hidden blood loss between males and females (P < 0.05), and above indexes in males were significantly lower than in females. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender and internal fixation methods were correlated with hidden blood loss (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the perioperative hidden blood loss in surgery for elderly femoral intertrochanteric fractures is closely related to gender and above indexes in internal fixation methods. The perioperative hidden blood loss of male patients is less than that of female patients, and the patients treated with proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedul ary nail fixation have more hidden blood loss than dynamic hip screw fixation.
