Photography of slit-lamp biomicroscopy combined with retro-illumination photography is the gold standard in cataract evaluation. However the application is limited due to its complexity and low efficiency. We introduce digital non-mydriatic fundus photography as a new method for cataract screening in patients with visual impairment,which might play an important role in screening low vision and blindness caused by cataract. Two distinguished benefits are found in this method including compatibility for tele-diagnosis,and integration with screening of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Cautions should be made on the photographs in which media opacity derived from other than cataract or low quality photos due to small pupils.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of needle knife, Governor-Vessel moxibustion plus medication in treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Method Forty AS patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 20 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by intravenous administration of Ossotide injection, while the treatment group was by needle knife and Governor-Vessel moxibustion in addition to Ossotide injection. Before and after the intervention, the symptoms and body signs, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) were observed in the two groups, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 75.0% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After the intervention, the symptoms and body signs (spinal pain score, Schober test, morning stiffness duration, chest expansion degree, and occiput-wall distance) were changed significantly in both groups (P<0.05). The BASDAI and BASFI scores were significantly changed after the intervention in both groups (P<0.05). The BASDAI and BASFI scores in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group after the intervention (P<0.05).Conclusion Needle knife plus Governor-Vessel moxibustion and medication is an effective approach in treating AS.

Pollution and control of microcystins released during the toxic bloom was reviewed in the present paper. As a risk factor in safety assessment, microcystins aroused broad attention. It was a topic of general interest that how to control microcystins reproduction and how to enhance the degradation of microcystins in the water treatment procedure. Based on the state of China, it was considered that a combined method of biological, physical and chemical treatment should be the best way to control microcystins pollution in drinking water.

Objective To evaluate preventive and therapeutic effects of low dose of unfractioned heparin on severe sepsis. Methods 52 Patients with severe sepsis hospitalized in Intensive Care Units were randomly divided into control group and heparin group. On the basis of conventional therapy, patients with sepsis were given low dose of unfractioned heparin or isovolume physiologic saline by continuous intravenous drip infusion over 5 days. Acute Physiologic and Chronic Healthy Evaluation (APACHE-Ⅱ) score, blood platelet count(BPC), prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(aPTT), thrombin time(TT), plasma fibrinogen(FDP) and D-dimer levels were assessed on admission, 3rd, 5th day after intervention. Incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) and 28-day mortality between heparin group and control group were compared. Results There were no significant difference in APACHE-Ⅱ, BPC, PT, aPTT, TT, and FDP levels, incidence of DIC, and 28-day mortality between heparin group and control group. D-dimer levels in both groups decreased along with time. D-dimer levels on 5th day after treatment in heparin group was markedly decreased than that of control group(740?135?g/L vs 853?179?g/L, P

ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of wedge factor of enhanced dynamic wedge (EDW) on Varian 600C linear accelerator . MethodsEnhanced dynamic wedge factors (EDWFs) of different jaw settings were measured on a Varian 600C linear accelerator with FARMER 2570 dosimeter and 2571 0.6 ml Thimble ion chamber. At the same time,equations were used to compute EDWFs of symmetric and asymmetric fields and off axis points. The same measurements were carried out on 30 degree physical wedge in contrast to EDW. The accelerator's jaw position was described according to IEC radiotherapy equipment coordinate standard. Results The EDWFs of symmetric field decreased smoothly while the field size increased. Under the same field,EDWFs decreased as the wedge angle increased and the increasing extent became apparent when the field became larger. In off axis fields formed by the upper independent jaws,only the EDWFs of 60 degree had the tendency to increase when the field center moved toward the toe of the wedge,the rest gave the opposite results. The EDWFs of fixed points varied only by 0.5 percent when the fixed jaw remained at the same place and the moving jaw and lower jaws stayed at different positions. But the WF of 30 degree physical wedge increased by 2.9 percent when the lower jaw settings increased from 4 cm to 40 cm. The EDWFs derived from analytic equations for symmetric and asymmetric fields coincided well with measured results. But at off-axis points,the differences between calculated values and measured data were apparent. ConclusionsThe curve of EDWF versus field size is very smooth. The EDWF of fixed point only depends on the position of the stationary upper jaw,and is affected little by the moving upper jaw and lower jaws. The EDWFs of off axis fields are much more complex than those of physical wedge; it shouldn't be confused in clinical application. The conversion method of rectangular field to square field is of no use when EDW field is confronted. Analytic methods are highly conformal with the calculation of EDWFs of symmetric and asymmetric fields.

Objective To compare the influence of different end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane on transcranial electrical four-limb muscle motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring. Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱpatients aged 23-62 years undergoing craniotomy were enrolled. Triangular muscle, biceps brachii muscle, triceps brachii muscle, brachioradialis muscle, extensor digitorum communis muscle, abductor pollicis brevis abductor digiti minimi muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, gastrocnemius muscle and abductor hallucis were selected for MEPs recording. Sevoflurane was introduced at 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and then 1.3 MAC (15 min each), and the effects on MEPs were studied. Results ①Maximum MEP amplitude was observed at abductor pollicis brevis muscle in upper limb and abductor hallucis muscle in lower limb at baseline and 0.5 MAC. Up to 1.0 MAC, there was no significant difference in MEP amplitude among extensor digitorum communis muscle, abductor pollicis brevis and abductor digiti minimi muscle. ②The success rate of MEP recording from abductor pollicis brevis muscle and abductor hallucis muscle was 100% during the administration of 0.5-1.0 MAC sevoflurane. ③The MEP amplitude was decreased and the latency was increased in a sevoflurane dose-dependent manner. Conclusions Abductor pollicis brevis muscle and abductor hallucis muscle were suitable for MEP monitoring during the administration of 0.5-1.0 MAC sevoflurane.
