Objective To compare the difference and consistency between OPD-Scan Ⅲ and IOL-Master 700 in the measurement of corneal curvature(flat keratometry,K1 and steep keratometry,K2)and horizontal corneal diameter(white-to-white(WTW)distance).Methods Totally 268 patients with 328 eyes(164 right eyes and 164 left eyes)who underwent cataract surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology of the Aerospace Centre Hospital from October 2021 to September 2022 were selected for this study.The K1,K2,and WTW values of the sampled right or left eyes were measured and analyzed using OPD-Scan Ⅲ and IOL-Master 700,respectively.Parameter comparisons were performed through paired t-tests;correlations between parameters were detected through the Pearson correlation analysis;and the Bland-Altman method and intragroup correlation coefficient(ICC)analysis were employed to determine the consistency of parameter measurements between the two instruments.Results The K1 and K2 values measured by OPD-Scan Ⅲ were greater than those measured by IOL-Master 700,while the WTW values were lower than those measured by IOL-Master 700,but the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).K1,K2,and WTW values measured by OPD-Scan Ⅲ were positive-ly correlated with the corresponding values measured by IOL-Master 700,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).The proportions of K1,K2,and WTW values outside the 95％limits of agreement for both instruments were within 5％,but the absolute value of the difference in values within the 95％limits of agreement was close to or more than(1.0)D,indicating a sizeable clinical deviation.ICC analysis confirmed a good consistency between K1 and K2 values of the left and right eyes measured by the two instruments(ICC＞0.90).The difference in WTW values measured by the two instruments was significantly correlated with K2 values(both P＜0.05).There were 5 samples(83.33％)outside the positive deviation range of WTW values,of which K2 measured by IOL-Master 700 was above 47.03.Conclusion The OPD-Scan Ⅲ and IOL-Master 700 have been found to have measurement biases when assessing K1,K2 and WTW.In clini-cal practice,the two instruments cannot be interchanged as an alternative to each other.The WTW values measured by IOL-Master 700 are greater than those obtained by OPD-Scan Ⅲ;when K2≥47.03,the WTW values may not be reliably ref-errable.

Objective To summarize the clinical features of 22 probands diagnosed with congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD),and to provide genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for 23 fetuses of these pedigrees.Methods Data of 22 CMD patients who were treated in the Pediatric Department of Peking University First Hospital during October 2006 to March 2016 were analyzed.Informed written consents for participation in this study were obtained from the parents or guardians.Prenatal diagnosis was performed using DNA samples extracted from fetal villus cells of 12 cases at 11-13 gestational weeks and amniotic fluid of 11 cases at 18-22 gestational weeks.Direct DNA sequencing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were used to detect CMD-related gene mutations.Linkage analysis of short tandem repeats (STRs) was used to identify maternal blood contamination and biological parents.Results Thirteen out of the 22 probands with CMD were diagnosed with congenital muscular dystrophy type 1 A (MDC1A),and all of them carried compound heterozygous mutations in LAMA2 gene.Prenatal diagnosis of 13 fetuses from these pedigrees found that four fetuses were wild-type,seven were heterozygotes and two carried the same mutations as their proband.Three probands with LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy (L-CMD) carried de novo mutations in LMNA gene.In these pedigrees,two fetuses were wild-type and one whose mother was mosaicism carried the same mutations as the proband.One proband with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy carried compound heterozygous mutations in COL6A2 gene and the fetus of the same pedigree was wild-type.Five probands were diagnosed with α-dystroglycanopathies.And among them,two cases of muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB) carried compound heterozygous mutations in POMGnT1 gene and the fetuses of the two peidgrees were heterozygotes;one case of congenital muscular dystrophy type 1C (MDC1C) had compound heterozygous mutations in FKRP gene and the fetus carried the same mutations;one patient diagnosed with POMGnT1-related congenital muscular dystrophy with mental retardation (CMD-MR) carried compound heterozygous mutations in POMGnT1 gene,and the fetus was positive for the same mutations;one proband with POMT1-related CMD-MR was positive for compound heterozygous mutations in POMT1 gene and the results of prenatal diagnosis for two fetuses of this pedigree showed that the first fetus had the same mutations as the proband,while the second was heterozygote.Conclusions No effective therapeutic method is available for CMD.Therefore,accurate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis are necessary to prevent CMD child from birth.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features of those Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD) patients who are complicated with epilepsy, and try to analyze the genotype- phenotype correlation.

METHODBy a retrospective analysis of 307 patients with DMD and BMD who attended Peking University First Hospital from February 2006 to September 2014,7 patients complicated with epilepsy were identified and their clinical data were collected. The possible mechanism of epilepsy in DMD and BMD patients was proposed after analyzing the genotype-phenotype correlation.

RESULT(1) Among 307 DMD and BMD patients, 7 cases had epilepsy, the prevalence was 2. 28%. (2) The age of onset of epilepsy ranged from 8 months to 11 years. Focal seizure was the most common seizure type (6 cases) , while other seizure types were also involved, such as generalized tonic-clonic seizure. As to epilepsy syndromes, 1 boy was diagnosed as benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECT). Six patients were treated with 1 or 2 types of antiepileptic drugs and seizures were controlled well. On follow-up, 6 of the 7 children had normal mental development, while the remaining 1 patient was diagnosed as mild mental retardation. (3) DMD gene mutations of all 7 patients were analyzed. Exons deletions were found in 6 cases while point mutation was found in 1 case.

CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of epilepsy in DMD and BMD patients was higher than the prevalence in normal population. The age of onset of epilepsy varies, and focal seizure may be the most common seizure type. Some patients may also present as some kind of epilepsy syndrome, such as BECT. In most patients, seizures can be controlled well by 1 or 2 types of antiepiletic drugs. No clear correlation was found between genotype and phenotype in DMD and BMD patients who were complicated with epilepsy, probably due to limited number of cases.

Objective:To observe any stimulatory effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on the cerebral swallowing cortex and the cerebellar swallowing motor area and to explore the related mechanisms.Methods:Forty-four healthy right-handed subjects were divided at random into a dominant cerebellum group ( n=15), a non-dominant cerebellum group ( n=15) and a control group ( n=14). In the dominant cerebellum group, iTBS was administered to the cerebellum of the dominant hemisphere, and the other hemisphere was given sham stimulation. In the non-dominant cerebellum group, it was the opposite. The dominant cerebellum received the sham stimulation. In the control group both hemispheres received sham stimulation. Before and after the stimulation, single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to the representative regions of suprahyoid muscles in bilateral brain and cerebellum to observe changes of the latency and amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs). Results:After the intervention the MEP amplitude of the bilateral swallowing cortex and the stimulated cerebellum had increased in the non-dominant cerebellum group, with increased MEP amplitude only from the stimulated cerebellum of the dominant cerebellum group. Compared with the control group, the non-dominant cerebellum group showed the greatest improvement in MEP amplitude of the stimulated bilateral cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Improvement in the dominant cerebellum group was significantly smaller. However, there were no significant differences in MEP latency or the percentage change in MEP latency from baseline among the three groups.Conclusions:Applying iTBS to either the non-dominant or the dominant cerebellum excites the brain areas related to swallowing, but in different ways.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the intelligent interactive health education model in the health management of the smokers with high-risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:From September 2019 to January 2020, 72 smokers with high-risk of COPD were recruited from Health Management Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical Universit y. The subjects were randomly divided into traditional group (35 cases) and intelligent group (37 cases) according to the intervention model. The traditional group used the method of mailing health education materials, while the intelligent group sent health education materials with the help of mobile intelligent platform for interactive feedback and intervention. After 12 weeks of intervention, the subjects′ nicotine dependence, international physical activity, population satisfaction, time consumption for follow-up and other indicators were compared. Results:After the intervention, the score of nicotine dependence in the intelligent group was lower than that in the traditional group [(1.86±1.48) vs (3.77±1.66), P<0.05], the number of smoking cessation cases was more than that in the traditional group (11 vs 1, P<0.05), the number of cases with significant improvement in the score of international physical strength scale was significantly improved than that in the traditional group (15 vs 0, P<0.01), and the satisfaction was higher than that in the traditional group (97.30% vs 42.85%, P<0.01), and the time consumption was less than that in the traditional group [(18.03±2.96) vs (25.14±2.64) min, P<0.01]. Conclusion:The intelligent interactive health education model can improve the health education effect of the smokers with high risk of developing COPD, and improve the health behavior of the population.
