Objective To study the effect of using handhold magnifier on reading speed in patients with low vision and normal-sighted people. Design Prospective,control study. Participants Low vision (13 patients)and normal-sighted readers (37 persons) who use handhold magnifiers or the first time. Method Nine-point text was read by normal vision subjects without magnifier and then with two magnifiers with different magnification (+10 D,+20 D) in different eye-to-magnifier distance (10 cm,35 cm). Nine-point text was also read by low vision people with magnifiers. The big printed text under the same magnification without magnifier was also read by low vision group. Reading speed was recorded. Main Outcome Measures Reading speed (words per minute). Result For normal vision subjects,reading speed without magnifier (194.6?45.2 words/min) is faster than that with a 10D magnifier in an eye-to-magnifier distance of 10cm (159.7?44.7 words/min) (P=0.001),and distance of 35cm (162.5?46.7words/min) (P=0.002),respectively. Reading speed without magnifier is also faster than that with a 20D magnifier in an eye-to-magnifier distance of 10cm (150.3?43.3 words/min) (P

OBJECTIVE:To investigate medical staff’s awareness and knowledge level on the rational use and management of antibacterials in our hospital.METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among medical staff in our hospital,and the results of survey were recorded in Excel electronic form and subjected to data analysis and processing.RESU-LTS & CONCLUSION:The medical staff had a good mastering about the general knowledge about antibacterials(such as definitions,classifications and so on).However,their answers to the questions such as reasonable antibacterial drug use,bacterial resistance,safety and expertise were relatively concentrated(tended to tick the same answer).Therefore,it is advisable to develop different forms of training through different ways among hospital medical staff to enhance their knowledge level on antibacterials and strengthen their awareness of correct and rational use of antibacterials meanwhile setting related measures and management norms.

Objective To investigate the correlations between the level of blood lactic acid (Lac),lactate clearance rate (LCR) and emergency stratification Ⅰ or Ⅱ as well as the prognosis in patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted.The clinical data of 370 critically ill patients with emergency stratification Ⅰ or Ⅱ accompanying with hyperlactacidemia admitted to emergency center of People's Hospital of Wuwei City during January 2013 to April 2015 were analyzed.The patients were allocated into two groups:Lac ≥ 10 mmol/L (n =181) and Lac 4-10 mmol/L (n =189).Base excess (BE),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and hospital mortality were compared between the two groups.The differences in initial Lac,6-hour LCR and APACHE Ⅱ score were compared between survival group and death group as well as emergency stratification Ⅰ and Ⅱ groups.The correlation between initial Lac,6-hour LCR and APACHE]Ⅱ score was analyzed by Pearson correlation method.Results ① With the increase in Lac level,the negative deviation extent of BE and APACHE Ⅱ score in critical patients were gradually increased [BE (mmol/L):-16.74 ± 8.21 vs.-5.98 ± 8.43,APACHE Ⅱ score:27.6 ± 5.6 vs.20.1 ± 4.8],and hospital mortality was increased [76.79％ (139/181) vs.43.39％ (82/189),all P ＜ 0.01].② The initial Lac and APACHE Ⅱ score of the death group were significantly higher than those of the survival group [initial Lac (mmol/L):8.81 ± 4.71 vs.4.43 ± 2.82,APACHE Ⅱ score:23.6 ± 5.6 vs.17.3 ± 3.7],and 6-hour LCR was significantly decreased [(12.26 ± 6.47)％ vs.(35.16± 10.63)％,all P ＜ 0.01].③ Patients in emergency stratification Ⅰ group had a higher initial Lac and a higher APACHE Ⅱ score but a lower 6-hour LCR level than those in emergency stratification Ⅱ group [initial Lac (mmol/L):8.7±2.6 vs.6.8±2.0,APACHE Ⅱ score:25.2±6.3 vs.16.3±4.7,6-hour LCR:(14.8±4.7)％ vs.(33.5±5.8)％,both P ＜ 0.01].④ It was shown by correlation analysis that initial Lac was significantly positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score (r =0.731,P =0.017) in 370 emergency critical ill patients,while 6-hour LCR was negatively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score (r =-0.694,P =0.010).Conclusions The early arterial blood Lac of patients with emergency stratification Ⅰ was significantly higher than emergency stratification Ⅱ,and the 6-hour LCR in patients with emergency stratification Ⅱ was significantly higher than emergency stratification Ⅰ.Furthermore,the Lac level and LCR were simple and easy to implement as compared with APACHE Ⅱ score in emergency critical ill patients.

Developing the clinical thinking ability and therefore improving the clinical practice ca-pacity are the core of the quality-oriented education and in the current medical education reforms. The rea-sons for retarding the development of clinical thinking ability in dental clinical probation were herein dis-cussed. According to the similarity between mind mapping and clinical thinking, drawing mind map was used in the creation of the clinical knowledge system; various teaching techniques were used and classical clinical cases were shown; role playing as dentist and patient was used to mimic the clinical circumstance;dentist-patient communication was emphasized and methods to evaluate the clinical thinking ability were also developed. These strategies effectively developed the clinical thinking ability of the dental students.

RESULTS: The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), lipoprotein, the whole blood viscosity, the whole blood reductive viscosity, aggregation index (AI), rigidity index (IR), distortion deformation transformation index (TK) and fibrinogen (Fib) were all increased by CRCC, while the level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) was increased. CONCLUSION: CRCC can significantly improve the abnormalities in hemorheology and lipid metabolism in DM rats.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with subanesthetic dose of ketamine on the emergence agitation in the patients undergoing thoracotomy.Methods Eighty ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 55-75 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,scheduled for elective esophageal cancer resection,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:normal saline group (NS group),dexmedetomidine group (group D),subanesthetic dose of ketamine group (group K),and dexmedetomidine combined with ketamine group (group DK).In DK and K groups,ketamine 0.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously (within 1 min) at 10 min before the end of the operation.In DK and D groups,dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10 min starting from 10 min before the end of operation.In group NS,the equal volume of normal saline was infused intravenously over 10 min starting from l0 min before the end of operation.The emergence time,extubation time,duration of ICU stay,occurrence and degree of agitation,and development of cardiovascular events and hypoxemia within 24 h after operation were recorded.Ramsay sedation scores were recorded before induction of anesthesia (T1),immediately after completion of administration at the end of surgery (T2),and at 0,5,10 and 30 min after extubation (T3-6).Results There was no significant difference in the emergence time,extubation time,and duration of ICU stay between the four groups.Compared with group NS,Ramsay sedation scores were significantly increased at T3-6,the incidence and degree of agitation were decreased,and the incidence of cardiovascular events and hyoxemia was decreased in D,K and DK groups.Compared with D or K group,Ramsay sedation scores were significantly increased at T3-6,the incidence and degree of agitation were decreased,and the incidence of cardiovascular events and hyoxemia was decreased in group DK.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with subanesthetic dose of ketamine can prevent the emergence agitation in the patients undergoing thoracotomy,which provides better efficacy than either alone.

Objective To investigate the hemodynamic changes of protosystemic collaterals before and after endoscopic treatment in patients with gastroesophageal varices using 64-row multidetector computed tomograghy portal venography (MDCTPV) so as to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in patients with or without para-esoghageal varices and with or without nonvarices portosystemic collaterals before treatment. Methods Twenty-six patients with gastroesophageal varices, who underwent endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) for esophageal varices and endoscopic N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injection (EBC) for gastric varices between Jan.2007 and Dec. 2009, were enrolled. Sixty four-row MDCT was used to examine the changes of portosystemic collaterals 1 week before and 12 months after endoscopic treatment. The reconstructed images of portosystemic collaterals before and after endoscopic treatment were evaluated. Results Excellent quality of portosystemic collateral vessels on CTPV were obtained in all patients. The mean diameter of left gastric vein decreased from (6.7±1.9) mm to (5.0±1.9) mm after endoscopic treatment,with significant difference (P＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in outcomes between patients with or without para-esoghageal varices (80% vs 72.7%, P＞0.05) and patients with or without non-varices portosystemic collaterals (82.4% vs 66.7% ,P＞0.05). Conclusions Sixty fourrow MDCTPV may provide important information for option of endoscopic treatment and prognosis.
