Objective:To investigate the clinical experience about the transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with correction of the eyelid orbital sulcus deformity.Methods:This group received 67 cases from June 2016 to July 2018, including 3 males and 64 females. The average age was 22 years. All the cases were diagnosed as lower eyelid bag with different degrees of fat herniation after orbital septum, with no or slight lower eyelid skin relaxation. Orbital sulcus of different degree appeared with outline of bony orbital margin, or accompanied by underdevelopment of the suborbital region. Through a transconjunctival incision or with short external canthal incision, the adipose mass was fully exposed behind the anterior wall of lower eyelid, the arcuate edge was released, and the pedicled orbital fat was transferred to the gap between the orbital eyelid sulcus and fixed in the lower orbital margin. If there was insufficient fat behind the orbital septum, a retroauricular fascia graft was used to make up.Results:No postoperative complications occured in all cases. After followed up for more than 3-month, 3 of 67 cases showed mild fat bulging pouch deformity in bilateral eyelids and 1 case was in unilateral eyelid. In other cases, deformity of the pouch and the eyelid orbital sulcus were improved significantly, and dynamic expression (orbicularis muscle contraction) showed no local uplift in lower eyelid morphology.Conclusion:The transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with correction of the eyelid orbital sulcus deformity can obtain good clinical results in lower eyelid area.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Yaoyi-Shenhuojiu combined with synthetic rehabilitation therapy on shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke (SHSAS). Methods 100 SHSAS patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 50 patients in each group. Patients in the observation group were treated with Yaoyi-Shenhuojiu on the basis of comprehensive rehabilitation training of the control group. After treated for 2 consecutive weeks, the pain, motor function, activities of daily living in patients of both groups were compared and improvement of the constitution according to VAS, FMA, MBI was also compared. Results After treatment, the decrease of VAS score in the observation group (3.43 ± 1.76 vs. 5.21 ± 2.15, t=4.530) and the increase of FMA score (55.66 ± 4.33 vs. 40.45 ± 3.75, t=18.776) was significantly better than the control group (P<0.01); Physiological function in SF-36 health survey questionnaire (95.78 ± 7.68 vs. 87.88 ± 7.21, Z=5.042), physiological functions of (50.78 ± 21.44 vs. 36.89 ± 18.42, Z=7.241), body pain (83.22 ± 13.45 vs. 75.52 ± 13.23, Z=4.055), overall health (50.25 ± 18.45 vs. 39.01 ± 18.63, Z=8.043), vigor (79.28 ± 11.92 vs. 70.22 ± 10.69, Z=3.216), social function (85.78 ± 20.12 vs. 74.71 ± 19.22, Z=4.128), emotional function (36.66 ± 23.79 vs. 28.11 ± 18.21, Z=6.052) and mental health (81.17 ± 9.72 vs. 74.61 ± 11.25, Z=5.367) eight dimensions of higher score in the observation group were also significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate (94.0% vs. 76.0%) in the observation group was significantly better than the control group (χ2=5.020, P=5.020). Conclusion Yaoyi-Shenhuojiu combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy can effectively improve limb movement function in patients with SHSAS, besides its improving the life self-care ability and life quality.

Objective To observe the influence of different altitudes on the basic vital signs of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rescuers before and after CPR.Methods The experiment was completed in the Simulated Cabin for Special Environment of Northwest of China. Ninety healthy adult medical staff in General Hospital of Xinjiang Command were randomly and equally divided into 3 groups: plain (normal oxygen), 3700-meter high altitude and 4300-meter high altitude. According to the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, the values of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiration rate (RR), arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), before and after 1 CPR cycle were recorded for statistical analysis and their changes were compared.Results The HR and RR significantly increased (P<0.05), but MAP and SpO2 did not change significantly (P>0.05) in the three groups. The HR and RR was faster in 4300 meter high-altitude than in 3700 meter high-altitude (P<0.05), and was faster in 3700 meter high-altitude than in the plain (P<0.05). But there was no significant difference between the three groups in MAP and SpO2 (P>0.05).Conclusions With the elevation of the altitude, HR and RR may significantly increase in CPR rescuers, but there is no significant influence on MAP and SpO2.

Objective:
To compare the effects of various interventions on the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) .
Methods:
The clinical data of 218 patients with central venous catheterization were retrospectively analyzed. Infected patients were treated as CLABSI group and non-infected patients as control group.
Results:
Of the 218 patients, 24 patients were developed CLABSI. There was no significant difference in sex, age, primary infection status and puncture site between CLABSI group and control group. Univariate analysis showed that axillary vein puncture could significantly reduce the incidence of CLABSI (

Tumor progression is closely related to tumor tissue metabolism and reshaping of the microenvironment.Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC),a representative hypoxic tumor,has a heterogeneous internal metabolic environment.To clarify the relationship between different metabolic regions and the tumor immune microenvironment(TME)in OSCC,Single cell(SC)and spatial transcriptomics(ST)sequencing of OSCC tissues were performed.The proportion of TME in the ST data was obtained through SPOTlight deconvolution using SC and GSE103322 data.The metabolic activity of each spot was calculated using scMetabolism,and k-means clustering was used to classify all spots into hyper-,normal-,or hypometabolic regions.CD4T cell infiltration and TGF-β expression is higher in the hypermetabolic regions than in the others.Through CellPhoneDB and NicheNet cell-cell communication analysis,it was found that in the hypermetabolic region,fibroblasts can utilize the lactate produced by glycolysis of epithelial cells to transform into inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts(iCAFs),and the increased expression of HIF1A in iCAFs promotes the transcriptional expression of CXCL12.The secretion of CXCL12 recruits regulatory T cells(Tregs),leading to Treg infiltration and increased TGF-β secretion in the microenvironment and promotes the formation of a tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment.This study delineates the coordinate work axis of epithelial cells-iCAFs-Tregs in OSCC using SC,ST and TCGA bulk data,and highlights potential targets for therapy.
