Objective To investigate the combination of compound anisodine and physical therapy in the treatment of amblyopia,and its possible mechanism.Methods Totally 300 outpatients with amblyopia(3 to 14 years old) were randomly and equally divided into treatment group and control group.In the treatment group,subcutaneous injection of compound anisodine(2 ml,once per day) to the superficial temporal artery of eye was given for a course of 14 d and followed by another course after 5 days'interval.Cover treatment was carried out at the same time.The control group was only treated with physical therapy.Vision,central retinal artery peak systolic velocity(PSV) and diastolic resistance index(RI) were measured during the 3 months' follow-up.Results The 3 to 6-year-old efficiency was 75.0%,7 to 9-year-old efficiency was 69.6%,and 10 to 14-year-old efficiency was 61.1% ;The difference of efficiency between therapy group and control group was very significant(P0.05).Conclusion Compound anisodine plus physical therapy for amblyopia at different ages and varying degrees are effective and safe.The mechanism may be due to enhanced retinal blood supply.

This article illuminates the status quo, shortcomings and prospects of follow-up visit at home and abroad by retrieving and summarizing the related studies on follow-up visit for enterostomy at home and abroad. It reviews the nurse-led follow-up visit from the perspective of continued nursing care, in order to provide a reference for China to further standardize the follow-up content for patients with enterostomy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect and molecular mechanism of berberine (BBR) on lipophagy in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic (AS) lesions in mice. MethodFifty apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-/-) mice were randomly divided into an AS model group, an atorvastatin group (5 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose BBR groups (2.5, 5, 10 mg·kg-1). Ten C57BL/6J mice were assigned to the control group. After 12 weeks, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and oil red O staining were performed to assess the histopathological changes of AS plaques in the aorta. Biochemical analysis was used to measure serum lipid levels, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), oxidative stress marker reactive oxygen species (ROS), and serum lipophagy marker Beclin1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ). The xanthine oxidase method was used to measure serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the distribution of wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 5a (Wnt5a) and Nieman Pick type C1 (NPC1) in the aorta, and Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of Wnt5a and NPC1 in the aorta. ResultCompared with the control group, the AS model group showed significant AS plaque formation, significantly elevated levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), IL-6, TNF-α, and ROS, aortic Wnt5a distribution and protein expression (P<0.01), and significantly reduced levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), SOD, Beclin1, LC3Ⅱ, and aortic NPC1 distribution and protein expression (P<0.01). Compared with the AS model group, the atorvastatin group, and high- and medium-dose BBR groups showed a significant reduction in AS plaque area (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly decreased levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C, IL-6, TNF-α, ROS, and aortic Wnt5a distribution and protein expression (P<0.05, P<0.01), and significantly increased levels of serum HDL-C, SOD, Beclin1, LC3Ⅱ, and aortic NPC1 distribution and protein expression (P<0.05, P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the above indicators between the atorvastatin group and the medium-dose BBR group. ConclusionBBR can competitively bind to Wnt5a to activate NPC1 expression, upregulate lipophagy levels, reduce blood lipids, and inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress damage, thereby exerting a preventive and therapeutic effect on AS.

Objective:We try to screen out predictive indicators with higher value by analyzing the differences in clinical and laboratory indicators between severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) group and non-ICU group.Methods:The clinical and laboratory index data of 69 SFTS patients diagnosed in the laboratory in a hospital from June to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to the clinical outcome of the patients, they were divided into ICU and non-ICU groups. The differences in clinical manifestations and laboratory indicators between the two groups were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to screen the more valuable predictive indicators.Results:Compared with the non-ICU group, ICU group SFTS patients had significantly higher procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), adenosine deaminase (ADA), cystatin C (Cys C), α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels ( W=530.0, P=0.003; W=496.5, P=0.015; W=496.0, P=0.015; W=535.5, P=0.002; W=545.5, P=0.001; W=498.5, P=0.013; W=537.0, P=0.002; W=523.0, P=0.004; W=512.0, P=0.007; W=502.0, P=0.012; W=486.0, P=0.023; W=509.0, P=0.008; W=541.0, P=0.002) and significantly lower platelet count (PLT), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), albumin/globulin ratio(A/G) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels ( W=199.0, P=0.024; W=175.5.5, P=0.009; t=-2.9, P=0.004; W=209.5, P=0.036; t=-3.0, P=0.004). ROC result showed that ALP [area under the curve (AUC)=0.804, 95% confidence interval ( CI) (0.679~0.929)] and LDH [AUC=0.805, 95% CI (0.680~ 0.930)] have a higher value for predicting the risk of severe illness. Conclusions:Abnormal liver function, heart function, and renal function indicators in SFTS patients indicate that patients are at risk of exacerbation. Among them, ALP and LDH levels have higher predictive value for risk of severe disease, suggesting that the monitoring of patients with the above symptoms should be strengthened in the clinical nursing process.
