Objective To explore the anatomy for transethmoidal-sphenoid optic nerve decompression under endoscopy and its significance in operation. Methods Fifteen cases (30 sides) of formalin-fixed adult optic canal specimens were dissected under the microscope. The anatomic characteristics of the optic canal and its adjacent were observed, and the relative parameters were evaluated according to nasal endoscopic approach. Results ①The relationship between the optic carotid triangle(OCT)with the optic canal, the ophthalmic artery, the cavernous sinus and the internal carotid artery were invariable, its present ratio were in 66.7%. ②The mean distance from the front margin of nasal columella floor to medial wall of the orbital opening, middle portion and the cranial opening in the optic canal were (72.79 ± 5.40)mm, (75.85 ± 5.10)mm and (79.34 ± 4.95)mm, respectively, and the elevation angles were (39.45 ± 3.68)°, (37.30±4.24)°and (35.45 ± 4.16)°, respectively. ③The mean thickness of sheath in the medial wall of the orbital opening,middle portion and the cranial opening were (0.70 ± 0. 18)mm, (0.51 ± 0.15)mm and (0.49-0.22)mm,respectively. The difference in thickness between the orbital opening and middle portion, the cranial opening were very remarkable(P < 0.01 ). ④The lateral deviate distance from medial wall of the orbital opening, middle portion and cranial opening to sagittal median plane of cadaveric were 1/2 (12.69 ± 2.73)mm、1/2( 19.61± 3.47)mm and 1/2 (25.79 ± 3.23)mm, respectively. Conclusion OCT is the most reliable anatomic landmark to locate the optic canal, and the key point is at the orbital opening of the optic nerve in the optic nerve decompression. It is secure and feasible to cut the sheath from the place where the medial wall crosses the superior wall of the optic nerve.

Objective To observe the expression levels of serum osteopontin (OPN),adenosine kinase 1 (TK1) and secretory protein Dikkopf 1 (DKK1) in patients with lung cancer and their clinical significances.Methods Lung cancer patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical University from February 2017 to April 2018 were selected as the lung cancer group (60 cases),and 60 healthy adults who received physical examination in the same period were selected as the control group.The differences of serum OPN,TK1 and DKK1 levels between the lung cancer group and the control group and lung cancer patients with different characteristics were compared.Measurement data were compared by using t test.Results The levels of serum OPN,TK1 and DKK1 in lung cancer patients were (38.56±3.18) μg/L,(4.69±1.03) pmol/L and (3.76±0.89) ng/ml,respectively,which were higher than those in the control group [(15.98±2.06) μg/L,(1.01±0.22)pmol/L,(1.21±0.24) ng/ml;t =-46.162,-27.064,-21.428,all P < 0.01].The levels of serum OPN,TK1 and DKK1 in lung cancer patients of different ages and gender had no statistical differences (all P > 0.05).The levels of serum OPN,TK 1 and DKK1 in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ lung cancer patients were (57.18 ±3.12) μg/L,(6.26±1.28) pmol/L and (4.98±1.03) ng/ml,respectively,which were higher than those in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ lung cancer patients [(30.35±2.96) μg/L,(3.49±0.67) pmol/L,(3.01±0.96) ng/ml;t =-34.156,-10.690,-7.665,all P < 0.01].The levels of serum OPN,TK 1 and DKK1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were (55.13±5.02) μg/L,(5.96±1.11) pmol/L and (5.02±1.32) ng/ml,respectively,which were higher than those in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients [(29.68±3.16) μg/L,(3.13±0.98) pmol/L,(2.86±0.56) ng/ml;t =-22.353,-10.213,-7.688,all P < 0.01].Conclusion The levels of serum OPN,TK1 and DKK1 in patients with lung cancer are higher,which are related to the type and stage of lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mediating effect of college counselors' empathy between perceived demand and behavior of helping others. METHODS: Three hundred and eleven college counselors were selected as study subjects by a convenient sampling method. The Perceived Needs Ability Questionnaire,Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C Questionnaire and Helping Behavior Questionnaire were used to assess the perceived needs,empathy ability and helping behavior of college counselors. RESULTS: The score of the empathy ability of college counselors was( 3. 4 ± 0. 4),the median scores of perceived demand ability and helping behavior were 3. 1 and 3. 3 respectively. The perceived demand ability of college counselors was positively correlated with both empathy ability and helping behavior [Spearman rank correlation coefficient( rS) = 0. 25,0. 27,P < 0. 01) ],and empathy ability was positively correlated with helping behavior( rS) = 0. 30,P <0. 01). Empathy ability has partial intermediary effect between perceived demand ability and helping behavior under the circumstances of medium-level dilemma and high-level dilemma,with the ratio of mediating effect to total effect accounting for 14. 6% and 13. 2% respectively. CONCLUSION: The perceive demand ability can directly or indirectly promote the behavior of helping others. Empathy ability plays partial mediating effects between perceived demand ability and helping behavior.
