Objective To verify the application of anterior segment perfusion culture and trabecular meshwork (TM) organ culture for glaucoma study. Methods TM tissue was cultured by perfused anterior segment and TM organ culture, light microscopy was used to observe the TM cells and intercellular spaces.Results IOP of the porcine anterior segments perfused under constant flow at 0.1 mL/h could bekept in normal range(10～12 mmHg). The IOP was elevated with the increasing of perfusion rate, while the morphology and structure of the tissue were well preserved. TM cultured by TM organ culture could also reserve the tissues well, but the intercelluar spaces collapsed. Conclusion Anterior segment perfusion model could be a short-term high-pressure model and may simulate the normal physical state. Adequate perfusion was necessary for normal TM.

Objective To compare the effect of traditional open surgery and laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation on postoperative pulmonary function.Methods Fifty patients were divided into two groups according to therapeutic method.Group A underwent traditional open gastric perforation repair(n=25).Group B underwent laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation(n=25).The pulmonary functions were examined at 1 day,3 days and 7 days postoperatively.Results All patients had different degrees of postoperative pulmonary function decline.After operation,the forced vital capacity(FVC)and forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)and vital capacity(VC)in group A were significantly lower than those in preoperation(P<0.05).The patients in laparoscopic operation group decreased significantly only on the first day postoperative.The postoperative pulmonary function of patients undergoing open surgery was significantly lower than that of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic repair of gastric perforation has less damage to the lung function than traditional open gastric perforation repair.Laparoscopic surgery plays an important role in the recovery of postoperative pulmonary function.

Objective To understand the molecular epidemiology of penicillin resistance Streptococcus pneumonia (PNSP) isolated from children in Guangzhou area to provide the experimental basis for clinical prevention and control of Streptococcus pneumonia infectious diseases.Methods Specific primers were designed according to Genebank,penicillin binding protein(PBP) genes PBP1A,PBP1B,PBP2A,PBP2B,PBP2X,PBP3 were amplified by PCR.The sequencing analysis was performed.The PCR products were digested by Hinf I,and the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was analyzed.Results DNA of PNSP was successfully extracted,the PCR results showed that in 50 strains of PNSP,the positive rates of bacterial strains containing PBP1A,PBP1B,PBP2A,PBP2B,PBP2X and PBP3 were 48.9%,64.4%,71.1%,31.1%,40.0% and 31.1% respectively.The sequencing showed that their homologies with known sequences in GenBank were 99%,98%,100%,97%,95% and 100% respectively.Using RFLP in Hinf I showed that PBP1A,PBP1B,PBP2A and PBP3 only had one kind of genotype,PBP2B and PBP2X had two kinds of genotypes,the positive rates were 71.4%,28.6%,66.7% and 33.3% respectively.Conclusion The gene distribution of PNSP strains among children in Guangzhou is dominated by PBP2A,PBP1B and PBP1A,there are two subtypes in PBP2B,PBP2X when digested by Hinf I,in which the predominant subtype >65%.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and side effects of amnion stent implanted in lacrimal duct for the lacrimal duct obstruction diseases (LDOD).Methods:A randomized controlled clinical trial was adopted.Seventy-two eyes of 72 patients with LDOD treated in Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from June 2014 to January 2015 was randomized into the experiment group and the control group with amnion stent or silicone tube retrogradely implanted according to grouping in accordance with block randomization with 36 eyes in each group.All patients were performed irrigation of lacrimal passage at 3 and 6 months postoperatively to compare the patency rate of lacrimal duct and side effects between the two groups.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the study cohort.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital (No.2014-002).Results:The patency rate of lacrimal duct was 91.7%(33/36) and 80.6%(29/36) at 3 months postoperatively in the experimental and control group, respectively.Although the difference was obvious, there was no statistical significance ( P=0.307). The patency rate of lacrimal duct was 88.9%(32/36) and 75.0%(27/36) at 6 months postoperatively in the experimental and control groups, respectively.Similarly, the difference was obvious, however there was no statistical significance ( P=0.220). At 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, the incidence of epiphora in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group, it was significantly different ( Z=2.729, P=0.006), and there was no significant difference at 6 months postoperatively ( Z=1.921, P=0.055). At 6 months follow-up period, the attack rate of side effects, such as dacryon congestion and exudation, was 2.8%(1/36) and 13.9%(5/36) in the experiment and control groups, respectively, however, the difference was no statistical significance ( P=0.199). Conclusions:The implantation of amnion stent in lacrimal duct for LDOD is effective, and the patency rate of lacrimal duct is not lower than that of the implantation of silicone tube in the lacrimal duct.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of mindfulness in part-time nursing faculty between intrinsic motivation and work engagement.Methods:A total of 376 part-time nursing faculty were investigated with Work Preference Inventory, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to perform t test on the data. Results:The intrinsic motivation of part-time nursing faculty positively predicted work engagement ( β=0.74, P<0.001). The positive predictive effect of intrinsic motivation on job engagement was weaker than before ( β=0.55, P<0.001). Mindfulness as an intermediary variable reduced the positive predictive effect of intrinsic motivation on work engagement from 0.979 to 0.504. The indirect effect of intrinsic motivation on work engagement through mindfulness was significant (path coefficient=0.50, P<0.001), and the intermediary effect accounted for 48.51% of the total effect. Conclusion:Mindfulness plays an intermediary role between intrinsic motivation and work engagement of part-time nursing faculty. Paying attention to the mindfulness level of part-time nursing faculty plays a positive role in improving their work engagement level.

Objective:To investigate the multilocus sequence typing feature of the virulence-associated genes of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) separated from the clinical specimens of a multi-center cohort children in Guangzhou area. Methods:A total number of 412 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from 2 059 non-repeated fecal specimens of children by three groups′ researchers in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from August 2018 to November 2018. While collecting specimens, patient clinical information is also properly collected and preserved. After extracting the DNA of the strain, the virulence-associated genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes ( sea, seb, sec, sed, see) and the Panton-Valentine leucocidin-encoding gene ( pvl).The multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) method was performed to reveal the MLST feature of these genes and the statistical difference were examined by the the χ 2 test. Results:Among the 412 isolates of S. aureus, 256 strains (256/412, 62.1%) contains at least one SE gene. Among the enterotoxin gens, the sec (125/412, 30.3%), seb(98/412, 23.8%)and sea (66/412, 16.0%)genes were the three most prevalent members of SEs. The frequency of pvl gene in Staphylococcus aureus was 18.7%(77/412).Among them, the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus sea gene isolated from patients with gastroenteritis (58/319, 18.2%) was significantly higher than that from the non-gastroenteritis group (8/93, 8.6%)(χ2=4.912, P=0.027). The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus pvl gene isolated from the patients with pneumonia (8/21, 38.1%) was greater than that from the non-pneumonia group (6/47, 12.8%)(χ2=4.252, P=0.039). In addition, the virulence-associated gene of S. aureus was closely related to the specific ST type, 82.4% (28/34) of ST6 carried sea gene, all ST338 and ST59 carried seb gene, 96% (48/50) ST45 carried sec gene, and the pvl gene carrying rate of ST338 was 5/5. Conclusions:The SEA toxin produced by ST6 Staphylococcus aureus may be closely related to the diagnosis of gastroenteritis in children. The frequency of pvl virulence gene in Staphylococcus aureus in children with community-acquired pneumonia was higher than that in the non-pneumonia group, and closely related to the CC59.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the operation timing of newborns with rectosigmoid Hirschsprung's disease (HD).

METHODSFrom March 2013 to September 2015, 35 newborns diagnosed as rectosigmoid HD in our department were prospectively and randomly divided into 2 groups: less than 3 months treatment group (18 cases) and more than 3 months treatment group (17 cases, conservative treatment for 3 months). They all underwent laparoscopic-assisted transanal endorectal pull-through (LATEP) (modified Soave) procedure. Clinical data, perioperative conditions, postoperative complication, postoperative anal function evaluated by Wingspread score and barium enema were compared between two groups.

RESULTSThe baseline data of two groups were comparable (all P>0.05). All the cases completed single-stage LATEP procedure successfully without conversion to open operation. Compared with more than 3 months treatment group, preoperative bowel preparation time and operation time were significantly shorter [(6.2±3.3) vs. (9.3±4.1) days, P=0.042; (95±15) vs.(121±23) minutes, P=0.029, respectively], intra-operative blood loss was significantly less [(13±3) ml vs. (22±5) ml, P=0.036], length of resected bowel was significantly shorter [(16±5) cm vs.(23±8) cm, P=0.033], and bowel movement recovery time, parenteral nutrition time, hospital stay were also significantly shorter [(2.3±0.5) vs. (2.9±0.6) days, P=0.046; (5.1±2.1) vs. (5.9±2.3) days, P=0.048; (12.9±3.3) vs. (15.8±4.3) days, P=0.049, respectively] in less than 3 months treatment group. No short-term complications, such as anastomotic leak, interlayer infection and abdominal infection occurred in both groups. The follow-up period ranged from 2 months to 24 months. Only the incidence of perianal excoriation was significantly higher in less than 3 months treatment group compared with more than 3 months treatment group [50.0%(9/18) vs. 23.5%(4/17), P=0.045]. Wingspread score results at 6 and 12 months after operation showed excellent rate of postoperative anal function, which was not significantly different between two groups[ <3 months group : 81.3%(13/16) and 92.9%(13/14); >3 months group: 85.7%(12/14) and 92.3%(12/13), all P>0.05]. Postoperative barium enema results at 6 and 12 months after operation all showed normal shape of colon without residue of barium.

CONCLUSIONSFor newborns with rectosigmoid HD, single-stage definitive operation performed at the age less than 3 months has the advantages of shorter preoperative preparation time, less operating injury, shorter resected bowel, and faster postoperative recovery as compared to the age more than 3 months. If rectosigmoid HD is definitively diagnosed, early operation is suggested to perform at the age less than 3 months.
