Objective:To explore the relationship between the preoperative fear of pain(FOP) and postoperative pain in patients with lung cancer undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, with a view to provide a basis for psychological and behavioral intervention in perioperative pain.Methods:One hundred lung cancer patients underwent thoracoscopic surgery from August 2018 to December 2019 were recruited. The FOP was collected by the Chinese version of the fear of pain questionnaire-Ⅲ before operation. And postoperative pain including rest pain and cough pain was collected after surgery. The correlation analysis and relative risk coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between preoperative FOP and postoperative pain.Results:Both rest pain and cough pain were positively correlated with FOP with the correlation coefficients of 0.404 and 0.489 (both P <0.05). Patients with a high level of FOP before surgery were more likely to report severe pain when coughing after surgery, which was 3.643 times (95% CI value was 1.585-8.372) higher than the patients with non-high level preoperative FOP. Conclusions:Patients with a high level preoperative FOP may report higher pain after surgery. Screening and identification of such patients are needed for further cognitive behavioral intervention.

Simulation-based medical education can ensure medical safety, reduce medical errors and improve students' clinical skills. At present, the main problems in medical teaching are the conflict between doctors and patients, the contradiction between medical teaching and ethics, the shortage of teaching resources and the lack of a universal assessment standard. The advantages of simulation-based medical education are its safety, repeatability, standardization, controllability, relative authenticity, and the cultivation of humanistic spirit and teamwork for students. Simulation-based medical education has two major limits. First, its teaching effect relies on the function and quality of each model. Second, simulation cannot replace clinical practice. This article proposes the following ways and means for promoting the simulation-based medical education: training of faculty is the core, establishment of courses is the focus, cooperation and communication is an important way to promote development, and phased and refined development is the future direction.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and percutaneous endoscopic Jejunostomy (PEJ) are common channels for enteral nutrition input. In the past five years, there are no relevant nursing guidelines and reviews in China. In August 2018, Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) issued the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nursing Management of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy and Jejunostomy in Adults, including preoperative preparation, surgical procedure and postoperative monitoring of gastrostomy and Jejunostomy. The management of enteral nutrition tube, the use of enteral nutrition and drugs, the prevention of medication errors, the treatment of early and late complications, the education of patients and their caregivers, and the replacement of catheters are all recommended. This article interpreted the guideline in order to provide reference for clinical nursing of gastrostomy and Jejunostomy.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of a metal occlusal surface and stress interruption design on minimally invasive prosthodontics for patients with distal extension absence and insufficient occlusal gingival distance.
Methods :
We retrospectively studied the case of minimally invasive prosthodontic (Vitallium 2000) combined with a metal occlusal surface for distal extension absence in a patient with insufficient occlusal gingival distance; the stress breaking design and pressure impression technology are examined, and relevant articles are reviewd.
Results:
The design effectively solves the problems of insufficient occlusal gingival distance, large occlusal force and easy denture fracture. Reviewing the relevant literature, stress interruption design can effectively protect abutment teeth, but the behavior of stress interruption design and stress conduction phenomena in the mouths of patients has not been reported. The T-scan test results of this study showed that before and after wearing the denture, the occlusal force distribution ratio of the patient changed from 77.5% on the left and 22.5% on the right to 61.3% on the left and 38.7% on the right. The occlusal force distribution ratio of the right dentition to the total occlusal force increased by 16.2%, and the occlusal force became better distributed. Further analysis showed that the occlusal forces on the left and right sides were nearly the same in the initial occlusion stage. As the occlusal force was further increased, the proportion of the occlusal force on the right side decreased in the middle of the occlusion stage and further decreased in the final occlusion stage until it reached a dynamic balance. The above T-scan test and literature review results suggest that this dynamic balance phenomenon of bite force is related to the stress interruption design and the stress conduction effect of the split framework.
Conclusion
The composite of stress interruption design and metal occlusal surface allows for minimally invasive prosthodontics for the treatment of distal extension absence in patients with insufficient occlusal gingival distance.
5.Progress in surgical selection and prognosis evaluation of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2022;38(4):325-329
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), the most common type of retinal detachment, is the separation of neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. The key to surgical treatment of RRD is to find and seal all retinal breaks while the major surgical procedures include scleral buckle (SB), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and a combination of the two (PPV/SB). Different surgical methods have their own advantages and limitations. SB plays a very important role in certain types of RRD, providing a high rate of anatomical reduction and a good prognosis of visual function. Combined PPV is also an important auxiliary means for the treatment of complicated RRD. The rapid development of vitreoretinal surgery has greatly contributed to the trend of RRD surgery from extraocular to intraocular. However, it is worth noting that personalized RRD surgical methods are needed to be provided for different patients in order to minimize the occurrence of complications.

Objective:To observe the different clinical response patterns of uveal melanoma (UM) patients after external scleral plaque radiotherapy (PRT), and to investigate the risk factors of secondary enucleation after treatment failure.Methods:A single-centre retrospective study. Demographic baseline characteristics and clinical data were collected from 465 UM patients treated with 125I external scleral PRT at Beijing Tongren Hospital from March 2011 to September 2017. Among them, 217 were male and 248 were female, tumor all occurred monocularly. The mean age of subjects was 46.7±12.1 years. Reasons for secondary enucleation included local tumor treatment failure, glaucoma, scleral necrosis and patient request. Tumor grading was based on the grading standards established by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). The pattern of tumor response after PRT was classified as degenerated type, growth type, stable type or other types according to literature criteria. The median follow-up time after PRT was 59 months to observe tumor changes. Complete follow-up records of 3 or more color doppler ultrasound imaging (CDI) was available in 245 cases. A t-test was performed to compare the patient's age, intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity, tumor thickness and maximum basal diameter before treatment; a chi-square test was performed to compare the patient's gender, AJCC T classification of the tumor, whether the ciliary body was involved, presence of subretinal fluid, optic disc invasion and vitreous hemorrhage, tumor shape and location. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate the cumulative probability of secondary enucleation after extra-scleral PRT. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between tumor characteristics and secondary enucleation after extra-scleral PRT. Results:Among 465 patients, eecondary enucleation was performed on 78 (16.8%, 78/465) patients during the follow-up period. The 1, 3 and 5 year secondary enucleation rates were 5.4%, 9.3% and 17.1 %, respectively. Eye preservation was successful in 387 cases (83.2%, 387/465). Patients treated by secondary enucleation had a larger maximum basal diameter of tumor, a higher proportion of irregular and diffuse morphology, a cumulative macular involved and a higher AJCC T classification, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were 115, 76, 27, and 27 cases of degenerated type, stable type, growth type, and other type, respectively. The tumor thickness of the growth type and other types was significantly smaller than that of the degenerated type and the stable type, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Univariate Cox analysis showed that the maximum basal diameter of the tumor ( HR=1.19), tumor thickness ( HR=1.08), AJCC T classification ( HR=1.90), growth type response pattern (relative to degenerated type response pattern) ( HR=4.20) was associated with failure of eye preservation ( P<0.05). In the multivariate Cox analysis, the largest tumor basal diameter ( HR=1.24) and the growth type response pattern (relative to the degenerated type response pattern) ( HR=4.59) were still associated with failure of eye preservation ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The tumor thickness of UM patients with growing and other response patterns after PRT is smaller before treatment; the maximum basal diameter of the tumor and the growing response pattern are independent risk factors for secondary enucleation.

Uveal melanoma (UM) is one of the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. The incidence of UM is lower in Asia than in Europe and the United States, however, the age of onset of UM patients in Asia is earlier than in the European and American populations. With the improvement of economic living standards in recent years, UM as a rare intraocular tumor has been gradually recognized by the public. In the past 10 years, the research of UM in China has been characterized by a large number and rapid development. Among them, the direction of molecular genetics represented by non-coding RNA, the frontier development of potential anticancer drugs for UM and Chinese traditional medicines are the research hotspots for scholars in China. In the past 10 years, China has made a relatively complete understanding and research progress on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of UM. On the other hand, compared with European and American countries, China still lacks in frontier research such as immunotherapy. With the further efforts of Chinese ophthalmology researchers and research teams, and with the further development of scientific research in my country, it is believed that the mechanism affecting tumors can be further elucidated, providing more possibilities for treatment and improving the prognosis of UM patients in China.

Uveal melanoma (UM) is an aggressive and lethal tumor in the eye. The complexity and heterogeneity of UM and its microenvironment leads to a lack of strategies for early prevention and treatment of metastases. Single-cell sequencing technologies provide critical insights into deciphering the complexity of intratumor heterogeneity and the microenvironment by enabling genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic analysis at the single-cell level. With the help of bioinformatics analysis combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, molecular indicator systems related to prognosis as well as therapeutic targets can be found, which can provide a basis for guiding the selection of clinical treatment plans. However, the single-cell sequencing technology also has certain limitations, such as high sample requirements, expensive and time-consuming sequencing. It is believed that with the improvement of science and technology and the update of analytical methods, these shortcomings can be gradually solved, and this rare tumor will eventually be overcome in the future, and the goal of long-term survival of UM patients will be achieved.
