Objective To investigate the relationship between the parameter of P100 elicited by pattern stimuli, spatial frequency and visual acuity in the posttraumatic eyes. Methods 81 eyes sustained blunt injury in outpatients were enrolled from West China Hospital, Sichuan University. The control group was composed of 199 eyes without disease or trauma. Different P100 wave including amplitude and latency were recorded in each eye stimulated by reversal pattern with 5 - sized checkerboards. The data were processed by SPSS to describe the relationship between the visual acuity and the parameter of P100 wave. A linear and regression analysis was done in the statistic procedure. Results There was a high correlation between spatial frequency ( X) and the log visual acuity ( Y). Regression equations were deduced for evaluating the visual acuity. There was a correlation between the latency of P100 wave (X) and the log visual acuity (Y) in all the examined eyes. Conclusion The established regression equations can be used to evaluate the visual acuity as an accurate and objective method. There is a promising future of its application in the forensic clinical authentication of visual function.

BACKGROUND: Soft-start is a newly photoactivation mode, which has certain effect on composite resin. However, previous study mainly concentrated on the conventional resin-based composites, the reports regarding soft-start on packable resin-based composites is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: It is assumed that soft-start photoactivation had effect on packable resin-based composites, in addition, to investigate its effect on the hardness of packable resin-based composites. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A double factors design. The experiment was performed at the Department of Stomatology, First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University and Chemical Mine Metal Material Test Laboratory, Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Technology Center in October 2007. MATERIALS: Three packable resin-based composites were Ecusphere-Carat (EC, DMG Company, Germany), Filtek P60 (P60, 3M EPSE Company, USA), Tetric Ceram HB (HB, Ivoclar Vivadent Company, Liechtenstein) and a conventional composite FiltekZ250 (Z250, 3M EPSE Company, USA). The color of composites was A3. METHODS: Three packable resin-based composites and a conventional composite were filling in a cylindrical container (7 mm diameter, 4 mm depth), to obtain 80 samples, and then were divided into different groups according to the composite and photoactivation mode (n=10). In the soft-start photoactivation, samples were irradiated by 300 mW/cm~2 for 10 s, and then 600 mW/cm~2 for 30 s. Standard photoactivation was irradiated with 600 mW/cm~2 for 40 s.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The microhardness of the top and bottom of the specimens was determined by Vickers microhardness tester. RESULTS: Three packable composites had higher hardness values than conventional composite. Though soft-start photoactivation could decrease the hardness of packable composites, the difference had no significant difference to standard mode (P > 0.05). There was significant difference on the top hardness and on the bottom hardness of conventional composite between two photoactivation modes (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The soft-start mode and resin-based composites should be selected carefully according to different filing areas.

BACKGROUND: The use of resin-based composites is increasing in clinical practice. The success and longevity of composite-resin restorations highly depends on adequate polymerization and small polymerization shrinkage, which are closely related with light-curing modes.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of two different light-curing methods on marginal adaptation and microhardness of packable posterior composite restorations. METHODS: Specimens were made from these moulds with 3 types of packable resin-based composites: Ecusphere-Carat, 3M Filtek P60 and Tetric Ceram HB, and 2 curing modes: standard and soft-start curing mode with halogen light. The marginal adaptation was evaluated by measuring the width of margin gap between the mold and specimens with scanning electron microscope. Vickers microhardness was tested on the top and bottom surfaces of the specimens.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: For Filtek P60 and Tetric Ceram HB, soft-start curing mode showed lower values of the widths of marginal gap than that of standard mode (t=5.78, P < 0.05; t=5.64, P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference with Ecusphere-Carat (t=1.62, P > 0.05). The top surface demonstrated higher microhardness values than the bottom surface in all experimental conditions (P < 0.05). The soft-start curing mode showed lower values of top surface hardness for the three resins than that of standard mode (P < 0.05). But no significant differences were found on the bottom surface hardness of the three resins between these two curing modes (P > 0.05). Compared with routine light-cured mode, the soft-start curing mode can reduce the polymerization shrinkage and surface hardness of packable resin-based composites.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy, advantages and shortcomings of micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data were collected from 126 patients with a failure treatment of history by ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) and RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) in treatment of upper ureteral calculi (< 3.0 cm) from June 2015 to May 2016. Antegrade percutaneous access was obtained by B-type ultrasound guidance. Micro-PCNL was done using YAG laser fiber or pneumatic through the ureteroscope (F4.5~F6.5、F6.0~F7.5, 315 mm) to disintegrate the stones. The calculi clearance rate, operation time, operative hemorrhage, length of hospital stay and complications of the patients were analyzed after operation.ResultsThe calculi clearance rate was 88.9%, the operation time was 15~75 min, the operative hemorrhage was 15~35 ml, the length of hospital stay was 5~10 d. Only one patient need the second stage surgery because of intraoperative hemorrhage affected the surgical ifeld. No patients occurred massive hemorrhage, pneumothorax, bowel and other complications such as organ damage.Conclusion Micro-PCNL had a good clinical curative effect and security in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi, which was worthy of promoting clinically.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the improvement of the optimization of Hospital information system(HIS)for the hos-pital pharmacy. METHODS:Based on management practive of the hospital and relative national requirements,the improvement and optimization of HIS function was achieved by pharmacists and software engineers. The effects of its optimization on pharmaceu-tical care were also introduced,involving hospital drug supply,pharmaceutical administration and monitoring of rational drug use. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:HIS has new functions,such as web query of secondary drug inventory,electronic management of narcotic and psychotropic drugs,electronic prescription comments,color code for TCM incompatibility management,antibiotics re-porting,etc. Compared with previous system,optimized system is more perfect in terms of full inventory tracking,web query of the drug batch number,web query of supply information,electronic management of purchasing invoice,prescription comments and monitoring of rational drug use. It decreases workload of pharmacist greatly,and increases work efficiency and accuracy. Continu-ous optimization of HIS can improve pharmaceutical care,and play an importance role on the safety,rationality and effectiveness of drug use in patients.

Baicalein(BE), a natural flavonoid mainly extracted from Radix Scutellaria, has comprehensive pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammation, anti-virus and anti-cancer activities. It belongs to BCS class II compound with relatively low oral bioavailability. The current study aims to improve its aqueous solubility and dissolution and hence to enhance its oral absorption by cocrystallization technique. Slurry crystallization method was employed to prepare baicalein cocrystal with co-former caffeine(CA), followed by physicochemical characterizations with DSC, XRPD and FTIR. Compared to BE and physical mixture of BE and CA, BE-CA cocrystal had a significantly higher dissolution of BE. In addition, in comparison to BE, this cocrystal achieved reduced time to peak(tmax)as well as significantly higher peak plasma concentrations(cmax)and area under the curve(AUCs)for both BE and its active metabolite baicalin(BI)in rats, suggesting enhanced the oral bioavailability of BE.
