OBJECTIVE: To confirm the efficacy and safety of latanoprost in treating glaucoma.METHODS: In a double blind, randomized control clinical trial, we compared the efficacy and adverse drug reactions of once daily topically applied 0.005% latanoprost with those of twice daily 0.5% timolol for 12 weeks in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.RESULTS: The study included 46 patients(22 pts.randomized to latanoprost treatment, 24 pts.to timolol) , 46 patients remained at the end of the study.Comparing with baseline diurnal intraocular pressure(IOP) , the IOP reduction(mean±standard deviation) achieved with latanoprost(7.86±2.39) mmHg, (31.1%, P<0.001),and timolol(6.24±2.58)mmHg (24.9%,P<0.001),the difference between the two groups(1.62mmHg) being significant(P<0.01). Two patients treated with latanoprost had foreign body sensation. No other ocular and systemic adverse reactions related to the two drugs were found. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated that 0.005% latanoprost applied once daily is well tolerated and more effective in reducing IOP than 0.5% timolol applied twice daily. Thus, latanoprost has the potential for becoming one of the ideal antiglaucoma drugs.

Objective:To explore the effect of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) of the cerebellum on the excitability of the M1 zone in the bilateral motor cortex and the duration of any effect.Methods:Twenty healthy youths were randomly assigned to a left or a right cerebellum iTBS group, each of 10. The resting motor threshold and motor evoked potential (MEP) of the motor cortex were determined before giving 600 pulses of iTBS. Then MEP was measured at the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th and 40th minute after the intervention ended. Any changes in MEP amplitude were also analyzed.Results:①The average MEP amplitude in the right motor cortex had increased significantly in the left cerebellum iTBS group from the 5th to the 15th minute. The increase lasted at least 10 minutes. Then it had returned to the baseline value at the 35th minute. ②The MEP amplitude in the left motor cortex decreased slightly after iTBS of the left cerebellum began, but there were no significant changes. ③The MEP amplitude in the left motor cortex had a tendency to decrease after iTBS was administered to the right cerebellum, but that change too was not significant. ④The MEP amplitude of the right motor cortex decreased significantly only for the first 30 minutes.Conclusions:iTBS of the cerebellum can increase the excitability of the contralateral motor cortex. The effect can last 25 minutes. It can also decrease the excitability of the ipsilateral motor cortex for 30 minutes.

Objective To explore the pathogenic bacterial distribution and drug sensitivity of cholangiitis in children who underwent hepatico-portoenterostomy for congenital biliary atresia in order to provide the guide for appropriate treatment. Methods The clinical data of 300 cases of congenital biliary atresia Kasai postoperative cholangitis in our hospital between 2007 and 2016 were included in the study to analyse the common pathogenic bacteria and antibiotics sensitivity according to its clinical types. Results(1)In the 300 children,cholangitis set on for 541 times,with blood culture positive in 128 cases.(2)The main pathogens of cholangitis after biliary atre-sia included escherichia coli,pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterococcus. Late cholangitis and frequent cholangitis contributed highly to enterococcus infections.(3)The sensitivity rates of escherichia coli and pseudomonas aerugi-nosa to cefoperazone sulbactam were 75% and 78%,respectively,and the rates to piperacillin tazobactam were 82% and 84%,respectively.The sensitivity rates to meropenem were 93% and 76%,respectively.The susceptibility of Enterococcus to vancomycin or linezolid was 100%.Conclusions Cefoperazone sulbactam and piperacillin tazo-bactam can be used as an option of antibiotics for biliary atresia Kasai postoperative cholangitis. In case of poor curative effect,timely replacement of meropenem is suggested.In case of late cholangitis and frequent cholangitis, enterococcus infection can be considered in its diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the medical service quality of psychiatric hospitals in Beijing based on diagnostic related group (DRG), analyze the evaluation effect, for refences to constructe a DRG performance evaluation system suitable for psychiatric hospitals.Methods:This study extracted data such as the number of DRG groups, etc. of hospitalized patients in 14 tertiary and secondary psychiatric hospitals in Beijing from 2018 to 2020 from the Beijing inpatient medical performance evaluation platform, and analyzed data on DRG performance evaluation indicators, as well as the average length of hospital stay and average cost of DRG enrolled cases. All data were analyzed using descriptive research methods, and inter group comparisons were conducted using the Mann Whitney U-test. Results:From 2018 to 2020, the average number of DRG groups in tertiary hospitals (28) was higher than that in secondary hospitals (10) ( P<0.05), and the average CMI values of both were the same(1.79); The average cost consumption index (1.15) of tertiary hospitals was higher than that of secondary hospitals (0.65) ( P<0.05), while the average time consumption index (1.11) was slightly lower than that of secondary hospitals (1.30); The mortality rate of the low-risk group in tertiary hospitals (0.01%) was generally lower than that in secondary hospitals (0.88%), and the average percentage of DRG admitted inpatients (82.8%) was significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals (27.3%) ( P>0.05). The average length of stay and cost per case for DRG enrolled inpatients in tertiary and secondary hospitals were lower than the overall hospital discharge cases ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of DRG groups, CMI value, and low-risk mortality rate could be used for evaluating the medical service capacity and safety of psychiatric hospitals, but the cost and time consumption index could not objectively reflect the efficiency of hospital medical services. DRG performance evaluation indicators are more suitable for evaluating short-term hospitalization of psychiatric patients. The proportion of DRG enrolled cases might be a potential indicator for evaluating the service quality of psychiatric hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy after the learning curve and open pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 396 patients who underwent curative pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic duct adenocar-cinoma in Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected. There were 244 males and 152 females, aged 64(range, 36?92)years. Of 396 patients, 86 cases undergoing robotic pancreatoduodenectomy were divided into robotic group, 310 cases undergoing open pancreatoduodenectomy were divided into open group. Observa-tion indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data between the two groups after matching; (2) follow-up and survival analysis. Follow-up was conducted by telephone interview or outpatient examinations including tumor markers and abdominal imaging examina-tions to detect survival of patients up to March 2022. Overall survival was defined as the time from the surgery date to death or the last follow-up. Disease-free survival was defined as the time from the surgery date to tumor recurrence or the last follow-up. The propensity score matching was conducted by 1∶1 matching using the nearest neighbor method. Normality of measurement data was examined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney rank-sum test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. An intent-to-treat analysis was performed in this study, patients who were converted to laparotomy from robotic surgery were still divided into the robotic group. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data between the two groups after matching: 164 of 396 patients had successful matching, including 82 cases in robotic group and open group, respectively. Before propensity score matching, the body mass index, cases in stage T1, T2, T3, T4, cases in N0, N1, N2 were 23.4(range, 21.4?25.3)kg/m 2,24, 41, 10, 11, 52, 27, 7 for the robotic group, versus 22.4(range,20.3?23.9)kg/m 2,57, 144, 22, 87, 131, 132, 47 for the open group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=3.01, 2.63, 3.03, P<0.05). After propensity score matching, cases of males, age, body mass index, cases with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score as 1, 2, 3, CA19-9, cases with preoperative biliary drainage, cases with portal vein resection, cases with pancreatic resection margin <1 mm, cases in stage T1, T2, T3, T4, cases in stage N0, N1, N2, cases with nerve invasion, cases with tumor differentiation as high-medium differentiation, medium-low differentiation, low differentiation, cases with adjuvant chemotherapy were 51, 65(range, 59?69)years, 23.0(range, 21.0?25.2)kg/m 2, 32, 41, 9, 160.4(range, 46.7?377.2)U/mL, 21, 9, 8, 21, 40, 10, 11, 48, 27, 7, 76, 26, 47, 9, 53 for the robotic group, versus 58, 65(range, 58?69)years, 23.3(range, 21.4?25.3)kg/m 2, 35, 39, 8, 172.0(range, 69.7?402.9)U/mL, 26, 9, 10, 24, 40, 7, 11, 49, 28, 5, 76, 22, 49, 11, 57 for the open group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=1.34, Z=0.18, 0.34, 0.49, 0.51, χ2=0.75, 0.00,0.25, Z=0.59, 0.27, χ2=0.00, Z=0.76, χ2=0.44, P>0.05). (2) Follow-up and survival analysis: after propensity score matching, 164 patients were followed up for 54(range, 1?67)months. The follow-up time of patients was 55(range, 51?59)months for the robotic group, versus 54(range, 50?58)months for the open group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( Z=0.48, P>0.05). During the follow-up, the 1-year overall survival rate, 3-year overall survival rate, the median survival time, 1-year disease-free survival rate, 3-year disease-free survival rate, the median disease-free survival time, tumor recurrence rate, cases with recurrence pattern as local recurrence, liver recurrence, other distant recurrence, local and distant recurrence were 81.7%, 39.0%, 27 months(95% confidence interval as 19?33 months), 61.0%, 34.2%, 15 months(95% confidence interval as 12?18 months), 54.9%(45/82), 12, 16, 9, 8 for the robotic group. The above indicators were 79.3%, 36.0%, 24 months(95% confidence interval as 19?31 months), 59.8%, 27.5%, 15 months(95% confidence interval as 10?20 months), 58.5% (48/82), 10, 22, 6, 10 for the open group. There was no significant difference in overall survival or disease-free survival between the two groups ( χ2=0.39, 0.47, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in tumor recurrence rate or tumor recurrence site between the two groups either ( χ2=0.22, 1.86, P>0.05). Conclusion:After the learning curve, robotic pancreato-duodenectomy has non-inferior prognosis compared with open pancreatoduodenectomy.
