Objective Cataract surgery is also considered as a type of refractive surgery , but there is few research on the change of preoperative and postoperative ocular biometry measurements .The aim of the study was to compare the A-scan ultrasound biom-etry measurements before and after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation , followed by the analysis on its clinical signifi-cance . Methods Dynamic observation was conducted in 188 eyes of 155 cataract patients who received cataract operation from January 2011 to January 2013 in the department of ophthalmology in Nanjing Gernal Hospital .Measurements were made before surgery and 14 days after surgery by Ultrascan Digital 2000 contact ultraound A-scan (Alcon), including anterior chamber depth (ACD), vitreous cham-ber depth ( V) and axial length ( AL) .Simultaneously , a prospective comparison of measurements was made by A-scan ultrasound in sit-ting and decubitus position .Measurements were also conducted in preoperative and postoperative visual acuity and intraocular pressure of the patients. Results visual acuity and intraocular pressure: The difference between preoperative and postoperative visual acuity [(0.17 ±0.19) vs (0.61 ±0.27)] and intraocular pressure [(15.09 ±8.50) mmHg vs (12.99 ±4.44) mmHg] was of statistical sig-nificance ( P<0.05) .ACD:The difference between peroperative and postoperative ACDs measured by A-scan ultrasound was of statisti-cal significance (P<0.05).No significant difference existed between ACDs in sitting and decubitus positions before and after the opera -tion (P>0.05).V:The difference between peroperative and postoperative Vs was of significant difference (P<0.05).No significant difference existed between Vs in sitting and decubitus position before the operation [(16.568 ±2.406) mm vs (16.524 ±5.544) mm,with intraocular lens implantation can get better operation result. In addition, different measuring positions have no influence on A-scan ultrasound measurements except the postoperative vitreous cavity depth .

By analyzing the present development and reform experiments for public hospitals in Shenzhen,the author proposed the following directions for such a reform:1) Accelerating steps of the development strategy "One Large and One Small",to achieve a balanced deployment of local healthcare resources;2) Building a public hospitals group with reasonable resources deployment and information resources sharing;3) Advancing reforms of public hospitals,building an administrative system of public hospitals featuring separation between government functions and hospitals operations and that between hospital administration and hospital building;4) Improving the supervision mechanism for public hospitals featuring distinct rights and responsibilities and powerful regulatory practice;5) Building a scientific operation system of efficient incentives and self constraints;6) Building a service model for public hospitals featuring separation of medical service and pharmaceuticals sales and normalized system.

Objective To study the hemoprotective effects of a rotary magnetic field (RMF) to radiation-injured mice. Methods 132 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: a normal group (N), a magnetic treatment group (M), an irradiation group(R) and an irradiation combining magnetic treatment group (R + M). Mice in the N group received no treatment. Mice in the R and R + M groups received total body irradiation with 6.0 Gy 60Co γ/rays. Mice in the M and R + M groups were treated with a RMF for one and half an hour at a time, twice a day, totally for 30 days. The survival rate was observed for 30 days. On days 0, 5, 9, 15, 21, 30, the subjects' peripheral blood cells were counted. On day 9, 23 and 30, the number of bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNCs), colony forming unit-spleen (CFU-S), spleen-body ratio, the cell cycle and apoptosis of bone marrow cells were measured. The pathological sectioning of the femur was performed and the expression level of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP2/4) in the bone marrow was evaluated. Results ①No mice died in the N and M group. The RMF treatment increased the survival rate and survival days among the irradiated mice (P < 0.01). ②The RMF treatment increased the number of blood cells in their peripheral blood of the R + M group. ③The number of BMNCs, CFU-S and the proportation of G2 + M stage in the R + M were markedly higher than that of the R group, but the proportation of the apoptosis was lower than that of the R group on the 9th day (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the spleen index in the R + M group was also higher than that of the R group on the 23rd day (P < 0.05). ④RMF could improve the expression level of BMP2/4 in the radiation-injued mice. Conclusion The RMF treatment had an obvious protective effect against the effects of irradiation and it accelerated the recovery of hematopeiesis and the hematopoietic microenvironment in mouse bone marrow.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing postoperative early enteral nutrition (EEN) with radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Drum Tower Clinical Medical College of Nanjing Medical University from July 2006 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 48 patients underwent radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma,including 24 patients receiving postoperative EEN (EEN group) and 24 patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN group).The serologic indices and liver function were detected regularly after operation.Ten percent of albumin (Alb) 10 g was administered by intravenous infusion when Alb ＜ 30 g/L.The indexes of all the 48 patients were compared in the 2 groups at postoperative day 3 and 7,including the serologic indices and liver function,the exhaust time,the volume of Alb infusion,the complications (incisional infection,abdominal infection,pleural effusion,peritoneal effusion and bile leakage) and the duration of hospital stay.The patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till September 2014.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s,comparison between groups and count data were analyzed using the t test and chi-squared test,respectively.Results Patients in the 2 groups were cured successfully and discharged,and no patient died perioperatively.Patients in the EEN group had a good tolerance for EEN and no occurrence of EEN-related complications was detected.The level of the GGT was (108 ± 73) U/L in the EEN group,which was significantly lower than (225 ± 121) U/L in the TPN group at postoperative day 3 (t =4.041,P ＜ 0.05).The level of the GGT was (142 ± 86) U/L in the EEN group,which was no significantly different from (183 ± 107)U/L in the TPN group at postoperative day 7 (t =1.477,P ＞ 0.05).The postoperative time to anal exsufflation and the duration of hospital stay were (73 ± 18) hours and (15 ± 4) days in the EEN group,which were significantly different from (97 ± 21) hours and (18 ± 4) days in the TPN group,and the volume of Alb infusion was (44 ± 29)g in the EEN group,which was significantly lower than (101 ± 92) g in the TPN group (t =4.295,2.615,2.916,P ＜ 0.05).All the 48 patients were followed up for 1 to 71 months (mediantime,10 months),no patients received reoperation or re-admitted to the hospital due to complications.Conclusion The application of postoperative EEN in enhanced recovery of patients undergoing radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma is safe and effective,it could accelerate the recovery of enteral function,shorten the postoperative duration of hospital stay and reduce the supplement of extrinsic Alb,which is helpful for the fast recovery of patients.

We established an ELISPOT for bovine interferon-gamma (BoIFN-γ), and applied it in the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (bTB). Monoclonal antibodies that can bind with native BoIFN-γ were screened as the coating antibody and detecting antibody. After optimization of detecting conditions including coating antibody concentration, cell number, and detecting antibody concentration, the ELISPOT assay was established. Peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 30 cows were co-cultured with PPD, and detected with the ELISPOT assay. The optimal conditions of ELISPOT assay were 2.5 μg/mL coating antibody 2G5, 2.5 x 10(5) cells/well, and 1 μg/mL detecting antibody Bio-5E11. In these 30 cows tested both with the ELISPOT assay and the BOVIGAM kit, 11 cows were proved to be positive in ELISOPT assay with the sensitivity of 78.6%, and 12 cows were proved to be negative in ELISOPT assay with the specificity of 75%. The ELISPOT assay for BoIFN-γ could be used to detect bTB efficiently and it might be an alternative method for the diagnosis of bTB.

Objective: To investigate the brain function and their correlation with sleep beliefs and attitudes in adolescents with drug naive insomnia by using fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation, so as to provide a reference for the mechanism and treatment of insomnia. Methods: An insomnia group ( n =21) recruited first episode, drug naive, adolescents with insomnia who met the diagnostic criteria of the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-V). Healthy subjects matched with age, gender, and educational background were selected as the control group ( n =20). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI), Brief Version of Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep (DBAS-16), 24 Items Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24), 14 Items Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-14) were evaluated. Fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation was used for analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis was employed to quantify the correlation between peak values of brain regions with significant differences and the clinical scale scores of the two groups. Results: Compared with the control group, ractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation(fALFF) values in the insomnia group were significantly decreased ( P <0.01, Alphaism corrected) in the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe (L-DLPFC, MNI coordinates: -12, 60, 21, t =-3.85, K =495) and the left precuneus (MNI coordinates: -3, -54, 51, t =-4.29, K =417). The fALFF value of L-DLPFC in the insomnia group was positively correlated with DBAS-16 score ( r= 0.47 , P = 0.04 ). Conclusion Abnormalities in the L-DLPFC region suggest that adolescents with insomnia may suffer from impaired regulation of emotional and cognitive activities related to sleep.

OBJECTIVETo study the hazards of gem dusts and the epidemiological features of the occurrence of gem worker's silicosis (GWS).

METHODSEpidemiological investigation in a gem factory in Guangdong province was carried out.

RESULTSThe average dusts concentration in workshop was 2.3 mg/m(3), average free silica content was 94.64%. There were 47 patients diagnosed as silicosis. The prevalence of GWS was 4.58% (47/ 1,027). The age of patients suffering from silicosis and the duration of dust exposure were (27.04 +/- 3.25) years and (4.67 +/- 1.17) years respectively. Chest radiographic examination showed mainly small round opacities "q". The incidences of GWS complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis, spontaneous pneumothorax and pulmonary emphysema were 10.64%, 10.64%, 44.68% respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe hazards of gem dust to workers might be serious. Higher incidence, younger age suffered from silicosis, shorter duration of dust exposure, more complications, and poorer prognosis in gem workers appeared to be the main epidemiological features of GWS in Guangdong.

Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in infancy. Early intervention is critical to improve the prognosis for these children. E-health interventions have tremendous potential. This review aimed to determine the status and effectiveness of family interventions for parents of children aged 0–6 years with ASD in the context of e-health. Methods: The review methodology was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. PubMed, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched from inception to June 2022. The searches were limited to children with ASD of the age range between 0 and 6 years. We collated the available information and used descriptive statistics to analyze the synthesized data. Results: Our initial search identified 3,672 articles, of which 30 studies met the inclusion criteria. The 30 articles selected were released between 2012 and 2022. All articles are in English. Most articles reviewed were from high-income countries (27/30, 90.0%), especially from the United States (16/30, 53.3%). Four major themes emerged from the 30 studies that matched the inclusion criteria, as follows: 1) type of e-health interventions, 2) duration of interventions, 3) clinical aspects of e-health interventions, and 4) evidence for intervention effectiveness, looking into the positive, negative, and mixed findings of previous studies. Conclusion These findings suggest that a wide variety of e-health interventions may actually help support both children with ASD aged 0–6 years and their parents.
