Objective To observe the effects of training on intrinsic hand muscles after digital flexor tendonrepair. Methods A total of 60 patients with digital flexor tendon repair were randomly assigned into an experimentgroup (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Patients in the experiment group received intrinsic hand muscles train-ing, in addition to the passive mobilization of the flexor tendons and active mobilization of the extensor tendons admin-istered to those in the control group. Minnesota manual dexterity test and Purdue pegboard test were adopted to as-sessment the outcome after 3 months of training. Results After 3 months of training, there were significant differ-ences between the two groups in terms of the results of Minnesota manual dexterity test and Purdue pegboard test( P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Intrinsic hand muscles training after digital flexor tendon repair can improve fine move-ment and coordination of hand.

Objective To investigate serum total IgE levels of healthy population in two hospitals in Yantai and Weihai areas,to investigate the influencing factors of the levels of serum total IgE,which can provide information for the clinical diagnosis of allergic diseases.Methods The total serum IgE level was measured with chemiluminescence method in 1 200 cases of healthy people and 600 cases of smoking group in different age groups.Results The total IgE level of ≤6 years was (28.53±20.71)IU/mL,7-12 years was (29.74±25.94)IU/mL,13-18 years was (32±22.32)IU/mL,19-44 years was (45.2±36.27)IU/mL,45-60 years was (35.47±27.23)IU/mL,>60 years was (31.2±25.03)IU/mL.There was no effect of serum total IgE in different age groups:≤6 years,7-12 years,13-18 years,45-60 years,>60 years(t=0.610,1.508,0.777,0.160,1.518,all P>0.05),19-44 years was significantly different from other age groups(t=0.075,P<0.01).There was no gender difference of serum total IgE in different age groups (P>0.05).The total IgE level of the smoking group:19-44 years was (55.22±39.16)IU/mL,45-60 years was (42.63±28.46)IU/mL,>60 years was (39.32±26.73)IU/mL.The level of serum IgE in the smoking group was significantly higher than that in the same age group (t=0.142,0.174,0.235,all P<0.05).Conclusion No significant difference existed in healthy people of serum total IgE levels from birth to adulthood.However,the total IgE level rose when reached to 19-44 years,which then slightly declined as the growth of the age.There was no significant difference between male and female of the IgE levels in different age groups.But after the age of 19,smoking can lead to the increase of the total IgE level.

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors influencing effect of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) on activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients in.Methods202 stroke patients were randomly divided into the CBR group (n=103) and control group (n=99). The patients of the CBR group treated with rehabilitation and following-up including risk factors controlled with drug, rehabilitation, health education and mental treatment, those of the control group only treated by following-up. Before and five months after treatment, patients of two groups were assessed with Barthel Index (BI), clinical never function limitation score, cognitive item of Functional Comprehensive Assessment (FCA). Multielement regression analysis was applied, the ADL score of last assessment was taken as dependent variable, group information, location, smoking, sex, age, course of diseases, education, drinking, sleeping, the first scores of FCA and BI were taken as independent variable.ResultsThe improvement of ADL of stroke patients was related with group information, drinking, course of diseases, the first scores of FCA, BI, and etc.ConclusionEarly CBR can significantly improve the ADL of the stroke patients. Cognitive deficit also has influence on ADL.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of hereditary blinding fundus diseases caused by abnormalities in photoreceptors of the retina.RP is highly heterogeneous in hereditary and cdinical phenotypes.It can be divided into simple type RP and syndrome type RP.The main inheritance patterns are autosomal dominant,autosomal recessive inheritance and X-linked inheritance.With the popularization and clinical application of gene sequencing technology,more and more disease-causing genes have been discovered,and these genes are mainly expressed in photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cell.ln-depth understanding of RP pathogenic genes not only provides a theoretical basis for RP diagnosis and genetic counseling,but also provides guidance for RP gene therapy.

Stargardt disease (STGD) is one of the most prevalent inherited macular dystrophy, and most often occurs in child or adolescence. Irreversible vision loss is observed in almost all cases. Type 1 (STGD1) is one of the most common type. It is an autosomal recessive condition, caused by mutations in the Abca4 gene. In recent years, encouraging progress has been made in the treatment of STGD1. C20-D3-retinyl acetate (ALK- 001), fenretinide and ICR-14967 (A1120) as visual cycle modulators, StarGen as gene supplementation therapies, and the stem cell transplantation of human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium cells are the most promising therapies. With the development of studies and clinical trials, the clinical application of various treatments of STGD1 are expected in the near feature, which are expected to save the vision of most patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of intestinal carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) active screening combined with enhanced intervention in the prevention and control of nosocomial infection in patients admitted to the hematological ward.Methods:Patients who were admitted to the Department of Hematology in a tertiary-care general hospital from March 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 and underwent chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy comprised the intervention group. They were screened for intestinal CRE at least thrice. From December 1, 2016 to February 28, 2017, patients who underwent chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy without active intestinal CRE screening in the Department of Hematology formed the control group. Both the patient groups were monitored for CRE infection in real time. The χ2 test was used to compare the changes in the CRE infection rate and mortality in high-risk patients before and after the active screening. Results:During the intervention period, the CRE colonization rate of patients was 16.46% (66/401) ; in terms of disease distribution, the colonization rate of acute leukemia was the highest 23.03% (26/113) . Of the 66 colonized patients, 27 (40.9%) patients were identified as positive for CRE at the first screening, 15 (22.7%) were identified at the time of the second screening, and the remaining 24 (36.4%) were identified at the third or subsequent screening; Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRPK) strains were dominant among the pathogens, accounting for 54.55% (36/66) . During the active screening period, the CRE infection rate (2.49%) and mortality rate (50.00%) of high-risk patients were significantly lower than those of the controls (11.30% and 69.23%, respectively) . The pathogens of 10 CRE infection patients during the intervention period were exactly the same as the previous active screening pathogens, and the coincidence rate was 100%.Conclusion:The CRE colonization rate was the highest in patients with acute leukemia who were admitted in the hematology wards. CRPK is the main pathogen of CRE colonization, infection, and death. Increasing the frequency of screening can significantly raise the positive rate of screening, Active screening can effectively reduce the incidence and subsequent mortality of CRE in high-risk patients admitted in the hematological wards. High coincidence rate between CRE screening positive pathogens and subsequent CRE infection pathogens. Intestinal CRE screening can serve as an indicator of CRE bloodstream infection in patients with hematological diseases as well as provide information for antibiotics therapy.
