Objective The purposes of this study were to explore the relationship between personal-ity traits and coping strategies among primary glaucoma patients. Methods 100 patients with primary glaucoma participated the investigation adopting Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Medical Coping Methods Questionnaire (MCMQ). Data underwent analysis using descriptive and Spearman rank correlation methods. Results L(lie scale) was (57.83±4.13). The primary glaucoma patients usually took different coping style from norm, facing was (16.91±2.21), avoiding was (15.69±2.01), yielding was (11.54±2.03), all was significantly different than those of norm. L was evidendy negatively correlated with facing, positively correlated with avoiding. Conclusions The personality traits of primary glaucoma pa-tients are different from norm people. They usually take avoiding and yielding coping style, while facing coping style is rarely adopted. Patients with exocentric personality and easy to communicate are apt to adopt positive coping style, while in patients who are identical in emotion and lie, they may take avoiding and yielding coping styles.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of low-dose heparin on sepsis. Methods Seventy-nine sepsis patients were randomly divided into tow groups: beparin treatment group (n=37) and routine treatment group(n =42). The 7-day and 28-day mortality, the days in ICU and the length of stay, the changes of oxygenation index, the days of mechanical ventilation and the rates of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), acute renal failure (ARF), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) were observed. The levels of APTT, PT and platelet (PLT) count were determined before and after treatment in two groups. Results The rates of DIC, ARF and MODS in beparin group decreased significantly after therapy: rate of BIC, 15.4% vs 38. 7% (P=0.03) ; rate of ARF, 25.0% vs51.9% (P=0.04); rate of MODS, 26.3% vs50.0% (P=0.04). In heparin group, the 28-day mortality was statistically reduced (15.4% vs 32.4%, P = 0. 03). The differences between beparin group and routine group were not statistically significant in the 7-day mortality (7. 7% vs 12. 9% ,P =0. 08) ,the days in ICU(Z =0. 281 ,P =0. 779,rank sum test) ,the length of stay (Z = 0. 562, P = 0. 574, rank sum test), the oxygenation index (P = 0. 82), the days of mechanical ventilation [(126.07±166.21)h vs (179.27±221.7)h,P=0.28] and the rate of ARDS (44.0% vs 46.2% ,P= 0. 88). The differences in APTT, PT and PLT were not significant between the two groups. Conclusion Low-dose beparin can decrease the mortality rate of sepsis and improve the prognosis of patients. It is a safe promising therapy in sepsis patients without severe side effects.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and disease-causing mutations of familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis.Methods In February 2016,a 24 year old female patient with left kidney stone and nephrocalcinosis in bilateral kidneys was admitted to our hospital.One month prior to this admission,she had been treated by PCNL to remove the most part of left kidney stone in otherhospital.Mter admission,She was found hypomagnesaemia (serum magnesium 0.65 mmol/ L) and hypercalciuria (24h urine calcium 364.0 mg) but with normal renal function (serum creatinine 101.5μmol/L).And the remained part of left kidney stone was removed by flexible ureteroscope.As she was considered probably with an autosomal recessive FHHNC,an analysis of CLDN16 and CLDN19 gene mutations was performed using her and her parents'peripheral white blood cells.Results Mutation analysis revealed this patient had two heterozygous mutations in the CLDN16.One is an one-base deletion mutation in the 123th codon in exon 2:368delA.The other is a missense mutation in the 139th codon in exon 2:416C →T which resulted in an amino acid change Ala139Val.Her parents respectively had one of each heterozygous mutation.In the six months follow-up,an oral administration with hvdrochlorothiazide,potassium citrate,and calcium magesium supplements significantly reduced her hypomagnesaemia (serum magnesiun 1.0 mmol/L) and hypercalciuria (24-h urine calcium 156.0 mg),and no stone recurrence and aggravation of nephrocalcinosis and renal dysfunction occurred.Conclusions We diagnosed a patient with FHHNC who had a novel compound heterozygous mutation of CLDN16.This rare disease should be suspected if there are three constant clinical features of hypomagnesaemia,hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis,and verified with CLDN16 and CLDN19 gene test.Currently the option for treatment of FHHNC is symptomatic treatment until severe deterioration of renal function.The hydrochlorothiazide,potassium citrate,and calcium magesium supplements may have considerable effects on hypomagnesaemia and hypercalciuria.

Objective :
To explore the reform of the operating mechanism of centers for disease control and prevention ( CDCs ) in the new era, and to put forward recommendations.
Methods :
We collected the financial investment and staffing of CDCs in Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2020 through China Disease Prevention and Control Information System and Zhejiang Health Statistical Yearbook. We conducted a questionnaire survey among 620 staffs selected by convenience sampling, and a qualitative interview among 40 leaders and experts from CDCs and general hospitals in Zhejiang Province.
Results :
By the year 2020, there were 105 CDCs in Zhejiang Province, including 1 province-level, 11 prefecture-level, 90 county-level and 3 development zone-level ones. The revenues were mainly from financial subsidy and business incomes, which were over expenditures. There were 7 008 posts in CDCs, with a staffing allocation ratio of 1.29/10 000. Among the reform measures of operation mechanism of CDCs, the flexible communication between clinicians and public health doctors was highly approved (90.03%); among the reform measures of enhancing the integration of prevention and treatment, further clarifying the public health functions of hospitals and ensuring financial compensation was highly approved (74.01%).
Conclusion
We should further stimulate the endogenous power and vitality of CDCs, strengthen the construction of talent team, promote the active integration of hospitals and CDCs, and improve public health level.
