1.Etiological factor and treatment of abnormal blinking in children
International Eye Science 2015;(4):639-642
Abnormal eye blinking in children is a disease of frequent eye blinking in children, more than 15 times per minute, without facial spasms and neurological diseases, with relatively independent clinical symptoms. If combining with organic or neurological disease, we consider it as children eye blinking syndrome. It's a common and frequently encountered disease in pediatric ophthalmology. The etiologies include body and psychological disorders, such as refractive errors, ocular surface and ocular adnexal disease, bad habits, lead pollution, tic disorders and so on. We think that most of abnormal eye blinking in children firstly caused by oculopathy, neurological disorders and psychological illness are the important factors for increasing or making it repeatedly happen. Recognizing and identifying the etiologies of abnormal eye blinking in children, so as to take a targeted theray and avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.

The mode of the atlanto-occipital fusion in 19 Chinese skulls was studied andanalysed. According to various degrees of fusion it may be divided into the following 5types: Type Ⅰ: The atlanto-occipital joints, anterior and posterior atlanto-occipital mem-branes of both sides were ossified (36.8%). Type Ⅱ: The atlanto-occipital joints, the anterior atlanto-occipital membrane andthe lateral parts of the posterior atlanto-occipital membrane were all ossified (21.1%). Type Ⅲ: The atlanto-occipital joints of both sides, the anterior and posterioratlanto-occipital membranes of one side were ossified (26.3%). Type Ⅳ: The atlanto-occipital joints and the lateral parts of the anterior atlanto-occipital membrane were ossified (5.3 %). Type Ⅴ: Only the atlanto-occipital joints were ossified (10.5%). In addition to the above, a case showing the atlanto-axial joints consisted of fivejoints and a case showing the anterior atlanto-axial joint and the lateral atlanto-axialjoints bounded by one articular capsule were found. The unusual courses of the vertebral artery to the cranial cavity was found eitherthrough the lateral part of the occipital bone, or the anterior condylar foramen and theposterior surface of the transverse process of the atlas.

The paper summarized the explorations of public hospital pilots in the compensation mechanism and identified the following findings.For example,by means of fiscal support of public hospital infrastructure and development spending,cancellation of drug markup,higher service prices, and reformed payment mode of medical insurance,these hospitals have made initial changes at their business operating mechanism, motivation-guidance of compensation, and their makeup of medical revenue.In addition,such hospitals are found with lower cost of medical care per visit,and higher income of medical workers.The authors also pointed out such problems as inflated drug pricing and expenses,lack of scientific pricing mechanism for medical services,vague definition of policy-related losses,and old-fashioned practice of government investment and health insurance payment.Based on such findings,the paper advised to adjust health care prices by stages and to improve the management of health insurance and the coherence of compensation mechanism.

objective:To evaluate the sensitivity and predictive value of grey scale and power Doppler ultrasound assessment of bone erosionin disease activity in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (Ra).
Methods:Fifty-six patients with early Ra underwent blinded sequential clinical, laboratory and ultrasound assessments, and at the same time 20 of these patients underwent X-ray and enhanced MRi. For each patient, 28-joint disease activity score (DaS28), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (eSR), C reactive protein (CRP) and health assessment questionnaire (haQ) were recorded. The presence of bone erosion and synovitis was investigated in 28 joints by gray-scale and power Doppler ultrasonography. The ultrasound joint count and index for active synovitis with power Doppler signal were calculated.
Results:The number of bone erosions detected by ultrasonography was 5.7 times that of X-ray, while both MRi and ultrasonography were consistent (91.5%). The number of synovitis detected by ultrasonography was 1.6 times as much as by physical examination, and consistent MRi (95.7%). PDUS parameters demonstrated a highly significant correlation with DaS28, eSR and CRP, while a negative correlation with haQ.
Conclusion:Grey scale and power Doppler ultrasonography is a sensitive and reliable method to assess bone erosion and inflammatory activity in early Ra. PDUS findings may have a predictive value in disease activity.
