Background Accurate measurement of corneal refractive parameters plays an important role in the diagnosis of eye diseases,design of refractive surgery and calculation of intraocular lens (IOL) power.Ophtha TOP is a new IOL calculator,so it is necessary to evaluate the repeatability and accuracy of Ophtha TOP in measuring corneal refractive parameters.Objective This study was to evaluate the repeatability of Ophtha TOP in measuring corneal refractive status in normal eyes and determine the agreement of the measuring outcomes between Ophtha TOP and Pentacam in pre-surgery cataract eyes.Methods A reliability evaluation method of diagnosis test was performed from September 2013 to October 2014.Sixty eyes of healthy volunteers aged (30.83 ±8.66) years old were examined in Tianjin Eye Hospital with Ophtha TOP for more than 5 times to evaluate the stability in measuring corneal refractive parameters.Corneal refractive parameters were measured by both Ophtha TOP and Pentacam for more than twice in 30 pre-surgery cataract eyes to assess the agreement with Pentacam.Keratometry and astigmatism parameters were recorded,including the flattest meridian (Kf),steepest meridian (Ks),mean keratometry (Km) and the astigmatism at J0 and J45.Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC),repeatability (2.77Sw) and coefficient of variation (CoVs) were used to assess the stability of Ophtha TOP,and Bland-Altman graphs were adopted to value the consistency of measuring outcomes between Ophtha TOP and Pentacam.This study complied with Helsinki declaration,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results The ICC of Ks,Kf,Km,J0 and J45 by Ophtha TOP were all ≥0.90,and 2.77Sw were all ≤0.36,The CoVs of Kf,Ks,Km by Ophtha TOP were all ≤0.30.The measuring values of Kf,Ks and Km were significantly higher in the Ophtha TOP than those in the Pentacam,with the mean differences (0.18±0.28) D,(0.24±0.29) D and (0.21± 0.26) D,respectively(t =3.48,4.50,4.49,all at P=0.00).The mean difference of the J0 was (0.07±0.21) D and that of the J45 was (-0.02±0.18)D between Ophtha TOP and Pentacam,showing insignificant differences between them (both at P＞0.05).Bland-Altman graphs revealed that the 95％ limit of agreement (LoA) of Kf,Ks and Km between the two methods was-0.37 D to 0.73 D,-0.33 D to 0.81 D and-0.30 D to 0.72 D,respectively,and that of J0 and J45 was-0.34 D to 0.48 D and-0.37 D to 0.33 D,respectively.Conclusions Ophtha TOP shows an excellent repeatability.Compared with Pentacam,Ophtha TOP presents a good consistence for measurement of the corneal astigmatism and moderate consistence for corneal curvature.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of Wells score and D-Dimer detection in acute pulmonary embolism. Methods Forty-two suspected cases of pulmonary embolism were collected from March 2012 to September 2014 Then Wells score and D-Dimer detection were applied to confirm the disease. Results Of the total, 26 patients were diagnosed by computed tomographic pulmonary arteriography (CTPA). There were 7, 24 and 11 suspected cases which had low, medium and high Wells score respectively. Among them, 1, 15, and 10 cases were diagnosed by CTPA. The diagnosis rates were 14.2% (1/7), 62.5% (15/24) and 90.9%(10/11) respectively. The D-Dimer level in pulmonary embolism group was significantly higher than that in non-embolism group(P < 0.01). The D-Dimer level of cases with medium or high Wells score was higher than those with low Wells score (P < 0.05). Conclusion Wells score combined with D-Dimer is convenient, accurate and safe for predicting acute pulmonary embolism.

Objective To examine the caregivers' burden and quality of life (QOL) of main caregivers of patients with Parkinson's disease by analyzing caregiver and patient-related factors. Methods A total of 53 cases with Parkinson's disease seen from October 2012 to December 2013 in Yantaishan hospital of Yantai City were selected. Assessments: (a) EuroQol-5 questionnaires, including: EQ-5 dimensions (EQ -5d) and visual analogue scale (VAS). (b) Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. (c) Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y) stage; (d) Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS), 15 items; (e) Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMD-14), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMA-24); (f) Chinese version of Zarit caregiver burden interview. Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that the EQ-5D index and EQ-VAS negatively correlated with HAMD-14 of caregivers of Parkinson diseasepatients (r=- 0.318, - 0.046) (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with H-Y staging (r=-0.592, -0.531), UPDRSI (r=-0.434, -0.316) , UPDRS Ⅱ (r=0.521, 0.513) , UPDRS Ⅲ (r=0.520, 0.534), UPDRS Ⅳ (r=0.564, 0.509), PDSS in patients with Parkinson's disease (r=0.547, 0.490), HAMD-14 (r=0.315, 0.350), HAMA-24 (r=0.413, 0.401) of Parkinson's disease patients (P<0.05). Caregiver burden was related with HAMD-14 (r=0.496), HAMA-24 (r=0.551),H-Y stage (r=0.697), PDSS (r=0.659), UPDRS Ⅰ-Ⅳ (r=0.538, 0.668, 0.696, 0.600), EQ-5D index of Parkinson disease patients (r=0.682), EQ-VAS of Parkinson disease patients (r=0.670) (P<0.05); and positively related with anxiety of caregivers (r=0.275) , and a negative correlation with the caregivers' quality of lives (r=0.665) (P<0.05). Bivariate analyses showed significant correlations between caregiver burden and patients' sleep, scores of Parkinson's motor symptoms, and caregivers' depression. Based on multiple regression analysis, Zarit score proved to be the main predictor of caregivers' QOL. Caregivers' age, total numbers of caregivers and H-Y stage also proved to be a relevant factor. Conclusion Improvement of patient's sleep, motor symptoms anddepression might alleviate caregivers' strain. There is a correlation between caregivers' burden and QOL. QOL of caregivers can be improved through reducing their care-burden.

ObjectiveTo investigate the applicability and superiority of modified Seldinger technique (MST).MethodsTotally 108 patients receiving peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) through vascular ultrasound combined with MST technology were enrolled as MST group and another 108 patients receiving PICC using traditional direct vision method as control group.The first puncture success rate,PICC succesa rate,catheterization time required,and early complication rate were compared between these two groups.ResultsThe first puncture success rate was 88.89％ in MST group and 72.22％ in control group (P=0.002) ; the catheterization success rate was 82.41％ in MST group and 57.41％ in control group ( P =0.000).In the MST group,there were two cases where the catheter within neck was ectopic ( P =0.003 ),two cases experienced bleeding at the puncture sites (P =0.017),three cases had phlebitis (P =0.001 ),and one case suffered from catheter blockage (P=0.010).In the eontrol group,the corresponding numbers were 13,10,18,and 9.However,the time required for PICC showed no significant difference between these two groups (P=0.685).In the MST group,15 cases were catheterized in less than 15 minutes,72 cases between 15 and 25 minutes,and 21 cases for more than 25 minutes.In the control group,12 cases were catheterized in less than 15 minutes,70 cases between 15 and 25 minutes,and 26 cases for more than 25 minutes.ConclusionPICC through MST can be more effective in positioning the targeting blood vessels,increasing the success rate of catheter insertion,reducing various tissue damages,and lowering potential complications.

A questionnaire survey on chronic heart failure management was conducted in 110 physicians from Xindu,Supo,Jiajiang and Xinhua community hospital in Chengdu from January 2007 to June 2010.Results showed that 77.3％ (85/110) of community physicians lacked knowledge about prevention,diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure,and the diagnostic accuracy rate was only 51.3％ (40/78) in these community hospitals.There was lack of awareness of the guideline of chronic heart failure:the rate of β blockers use was 15.0％ (6/40) and only 5.0％ (2/40) used the target dose; the rate of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor use was 17.5％ (7/40) and only 7.50％ (3/40) used the target dose.In addition,90％ (99/110) of community doctors lacked the education and management for patients with heart failure.The survey suggests that the current situation of chronic heart failure management in community physicians in Chengdu is unsatisfactory.It is necessary to strengthen the training of community physicians.
