Objective To investigate the curative effect of different time of irrigating after endolacrimal recanalisation surgery by Nd:YAG laser combining eye ointment stuffing. Methods Seventy-five cases (75 eyes) of lacrimal duct obstruction, which received endo-lacrimal recanalisation surgery by Nd:YAG laser combining eye ointment stuffing were divided into three groups by random digits table with 25 cases in each group. Group A received irrigating: the first day postoperative, consecutive 3 days,followed by once a week till a month. Group B received irrigating:the third day postoperative, consecutive 3 days,followed by once a week till a month. Group C received irrigating:the sixth day postoperative, consecutive 3 days, followed by once a week till a month. Followed-up survey for 12 months at the ophthalmologic outpatient clinic,the curative effect in each group was compared. Results In 6 months after surgery, the comparison of the curative effect was no statistical difference between group B and group C (P> 0.05), while the curative effects in group B and group C was superior to that in group A (P < 0.05). In 12 months after surgery, the curative effect in group C was better than that in group A and B, the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05). But there was no statistical significance compared with group A and group B (P>0.05). Conclusions Properly delayed irrigating may improve the curative effect after endo-lacrimal recanalisation surgery by Nd:YAG laser combining eye ointment stuffing, while easier irrigating can increase the incidence of re-blockage of lacrimal duct and reduce the efficacy.

A novel method for simultaneous determination of 3 rat poisons ( tetramine, bromadiolone, brodifacoum) and 5 toxic alkaloids ( hyoscyamine, scopolamine, gelsemine, strychnine, brucine ) in toxic samples by dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction ( DLLME ) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was established. A mixture extractant containing 100 μL trichloromethane and 600 μL methanol was injected into the prepared sample to form an emulsion and the extraction process was accomplished. After centrifuged at 8000 r/min for 5 min, the settled drop of trichloromethane solvent was transferred to a conical insert within a GC autosampler vessel, and analyzed by GC-MS. Factors affecting extraction efficiency such as the type and volume of extractant, dispersive agent, extraction time, pH value and salt concentration of extraction system were studied. The limits of detection(LODs) were from 0. 003 to 1 μg/L in water sample, urine sample and rice wine sample. LODs were from 0. 002 to 0. 2 μg/kg in rice sample. The recoveries of toxic samples were in the range of 81. 0%-110%. The relative standard deviations( RSDs) were lower than 7%. The proposed method was sensitive, effective, and suitable for the simultaneous determination of toxic alkaloids and rat poisons in food poisoning sample.

OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the disease burden of prostate cancer (PC) and assess key influencing factors associated with the disease expenditures of PC in the United States.
METHODS:
The total deaths, incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life-years of PC were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey was used to estimate healthcare expenditures and productivity loss and to investigate patterns of payment and use of healthcare resources in the United States. A multivariable logistic regression model was conducted to identify key factors influencing expenditures.
RESULTS:
For patients aged 50 and older, the burden for all age groups showed a modest increase over the 6-year period. Annual medical expenditures were estimated to range from US$24.8 billion to US$39.2 billion from 2014 to 2019. The annual loss in productivity for patients was approximately US$1,200. The top 3 major components of medical costs were hospital inpatient stays, prescription medicines, and office-based visits. Medicare was the largest source of payments for survivors. In terms of drug consumption, genitourinary tract agents (57.0%) and antineoplastics (18.6%) were the main therapeutic drugs. High medical expenditures were positively associated with age (p=0.005), having private health insurance (p=0.016), more comorbidities, not currently smoking (p=0.001), and patient self-perception of fair/poor health status (p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
From 2014 to 2019, the national real-world data of PC revealed that the disease burden in the United States continued to increase, which was partly related to patient characteristics.
