Background Studies showed that 577 nm subliminal micropulse photocoagulation for retinal diseases is more effective and much safer than 577 nm laser,but its mechanism and sensitive target cells are still unelucidated.Objective This study was to compare the histomorphology changes of rabbit retinas following 577 nm subliminal micropulse excitation and 577 nm laser for retinal photocoagulation and offer a conference for the clinical application of 577 nm subliminal micropulse excitation.Methods Twenty-six Chinese pigment rabbits were randomly divided into normal control group (2 rabbits),577 nm laser photocoagulation group (6 rabbits) and subliminal micropulse photocoagulation group (18 rabbits),in which the rabbits from subliminal micropulse photocoagulation group were subgrouped into 9%,12% and 15% subthreshold photocoagulation groups according to the different workload rates,and retinal photocoagulation was performed based on grouping.No treatment was carried out in the normal control group.Fundus camera and OCT were obtained after photocoagulation,and the rabbits were sacrificed to prepare the specimen of eyeball wall.Hematoxylin and eosin staining was employed to examine the histopathological change of choroid and retina under the light microscope.Results The retinal morphology was normal on the fundus color photography and OCT in the normal control group.Obscure of retinal structure and slight edema of retinal neuroepithelial layer with obscure of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was found respectively in the 9% and 12% subthreshold photocoagulation group,and serious edema of retinal neuroepithelial layer with local RPE elevation was visible in the 15% subthreshold photocoagulation group.The laser spot was invisible in various subliminal micro pulse groups.However,retinal photocoagulation spots,multifocal elevation of retinal layer and serious detachment of retinal neuroepithelium were found in the 577 nm laser group.Retinal histopathological examination revealed that the photoreceptors,bipolar cells and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) layers were normal,while choroidal vessel deformation and bleeding were visible in the 9% and 12% subthreshold photocoagulation groups,and only photoreceptor membrane swelling was seen in the 15% subthreshold photocoagulation group.However,retinal structure abnormality was displayed in 577 nm laser group,including the structural disorders of inner and outer nuclear layers and RGC layer as well as thinning of RPE layer.Conclusions 577 nm nicropulse laser under threshold is sensitive for RPE and choroid rather than retina neurepithelium,which can play a treating role and also does not damage retina seriously.However,577 nm laser photocoagulation results in retinal structure damage.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2021;44(12):1096-1099
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of non-intubation anesthesia with ketamine combined with dexmedetomidine for elective surgery after burns in children.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, 50 children with burns who underwent elective surgery and were admitted to the Hanchuan People′s Hospital were enrolled and they were divided into the control group and the observation group by random number table, with 25 cases in each group. Both groups were given ketamine 1-2 mg/kg for induction of anesthesia, the control group was given propofol 4 mg/(kg·h) constant-rate pump injection, and the observation group was given dexmedetomidine 1 μg/(kg·h) pump injection for 10 min and then 0.5 μg/(kg·h) to maintain pump injection. The number of basic anesthesia, operation time and intraoperative fluid infusion between the two groups were compared. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) at enter the operating room (T 1), 1 min before operation (T 2), 3 min after operation (T 3), end of the operation (T 4), recovery (T 5) points in the two groups were recorded and compared. The occurrence of adverse anesthesia reactions in the two groups and postoperative recovery were compared. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the number of basic anesthesia, operation time, and intraoperative fluid infusion between the two groups ( P>0.05). The levels of MAP and HR did not change significantly at different time points in the control group ( P>0.05); the level of SpO 2 at T 2 and T 3 was lower than that at T 1 and was lower than that in the observation group at the same time point ( P<0.05); the levels of MAP and HR in the observation group at T 2, T 3, T 4, and T 5 were significantly lower than that at T 1, and were lower than that in the control group at the same time point ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the control group was higher than that in the observation group: 24.0%(6/25) vs. 4.0%(1/25), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); the scores of sedation and restlessness scale in the control group was higher than that in the observation group: (3.14 ± 0.76) scores vs. (1.22 ± 0.41) scores, the scores of the Ramsay score in the control group was lower than that in the observation group: (1.53 ± 0.36) s cores vs.(3.27 ± 30.41) scores, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:It is safe and effective to use ketamine combined with dexmedetomidine for non-intubation anesthesia during elective surgery after burns in children. The clinical anesthesia effect is significantly better than that of ketamine combined with propofol.

Objective:Migraine and tremor share some genetic mutation sites,and clinical studies have also confirmed their correlation.This study aims to explore the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of migraine patients with concomitant tremor,and to analyze the relevant influential factors of tremor occurrence. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 217 migraine patients who visited the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from June 2022 to October 2023.The Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor(CRST),Numerical Rating Scale(NRS),Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7(GAD-7),and Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9)were respectively used to assess the tremor symptoms,degree of headache,anxiety,and depression of patients.All patients underwent routine head MR scanning and electromyography examination,and were divided into a migraine with tremor group and a migraine without tremor group based on the electromyogram examination. Results:The migraine with tremor group and the migraine without tremor group were included 52 patients(23.96%)and 165 patients(76.04%),respectively.Compared with the migraine without tremor group,the migraine with tremor group had a longer course and duration of headache,higher frequency of headache attacks,higher NRS score,GAD-7 score,and PHQ-9 score,and fewer weekly physical exercises.The differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the presence or absence of prodromal headache and white matter hyperintensities(WMHs)between the 2 groups(both P>0.05).The evaluation results of the CRST showed that out of 217 migraine patients,39 patients(17.97%)were accompanied by tremors.The electromyographic results showed that all 52 migraine patients with tremors had upper limb tremors,including 28 migraine patients with postural tremors and 24 migraine patients with static tremors.Compared with the migraine patients with static tremors,the migraine patients with postural tremors had lower average frequency,peak frequency,and headache onset frequency(all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that frequency of physical exercise,duration of illness,frequency of headache attacks,NRS score,GAD-7 score,and PHQ-9 score were risk factors for migraine patients with concomitant tremors(all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with migraine mainly experience upper limb postural tremors.Reduced physical exercise,long course of disease,long duration of headache,frequent headache attacks,severe headache,anxiety,and depression are risk factors for migraine patients with concomitant tremors.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).
