Normal feed and stone-leading feed were used respectively to raise guinea pigs in the control group and stone-causing group. The dynamic changes of total cholesterol, mucoprotein, total phospholipid and total cholic acid were measured during various raising periods. The formation of crystal nucleus and the growth of gallstone were studied under polarzing microscope. It was found that the contents of total cholesterol, mucoprotein, total phospholipid and total cholic acid in the gallbladder bile of control group were nearly the same during the whole feeding process, and no shaped stone crystal was formed. In the stone-causing group, however, the contents of total cholesterol and mucoprotein gradually went up and the contents of total phospholipid and total cholic acid gradually went down. After 10 days' feeding, significant difference was seen,and after 25 days' feeding, highly significant difference was noted. With the increase of feeding days, the liquid crystal vesicles in the bile increased, became bigger, gathered in strings, and then formed liquid crystal cells. The stone crystal growth along these nuclei of bile liquid crystal cells spread out rapidly, and the micro-crystal grains formed further in number. It was shown that, during the process of gallbladder stone formation, bile liquid crystal cells form a basic kind of nucleus, and the gathering and merging of bile liquid crystal vesicles be the key to crystal growth. So cholesterol and mucoprotein play the role of nucleation-leading factors in enhancing the gathering and merging of liquid crystal vesicles, and phospholipid and cholate play the role of anti-nucleation during the formation of gallbladder stone.

Objective To study the asymmetry of the soft tissue thickness of upper eyelids in Shanghai female undergraduates undergoing double eyelid surgery.Methods Data were collected in 565 female students from Shanghai universities.Before surgery,oblique sagittal view images of the upper eyelids by 3.0T MRI were obtained and the following parameters were measured: soft tissue thickness at upper tarsal plate margin and upper central tarsal plate,sub-eyebrow and intra-orbital septum fat pad areas,and whole upper eyelid soft tissue areas.The resected orbicularis and intra-orbital septum fat were weighed by a highly accurated electronic balance.The eyelid asymmetry index (EAI) was calculated.Results The MRI (U/U2) central tarsal plate soft tissue thickness were:4.46±0.90 in the right side and 3.78±1.01 in the left; the intra orbital septum fat areas were:172.33±49.29 in the right and 136.34±37.42 in the left; the whole tissue areas were: 697.13±146.99 in the right and 500.66±158.87 in the left (P<0.01 for all).The weight of the resected orbicularis oculi muscle and intra orbital septum fat pad were (0.18±0.05) g and (0.17±0.06) g for the right side,and (0.15±0.04) g and (0.06±0.05) g for the left side (P<0.01 for all),respec tively.The orbicularis EAI was 0.17±0.06,and the intra orbital septum fat EAI was 0.41 ±0.08.Conclusions The asymmetric phenomenon of the upper eyelids' soft tissue thickness is commonly found in the Shanghai female undergraduates,and the main manifestation is that orbicularis and intra orbital septum fat in right side are thicker than that in the left.

Objective To explore the effects of heating intravenous fluid infusion and blood transfusion based on guidelines in severe trauma patients with hypothermia. Methods A total of 40 severe trauma patients with hypothermia admitted from July 2014 to December 2015 were enrolled as the control group treated with routine measures to maintain the body temperature at normothermia by such as electrical heating blanket; other 40 severe casualties with hypothermia admitted from January 2016 to July 2017 were recruited as the warming up group treated with heating intravenous fluid infusion and blood transfusion by hot water bath in addition to the routine measures for keeping body temperature at normothermia. The differences in core body temperature, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, incidence of shivering and mortality rate were compared between the two groups. Results There was statistically signifi cant difference in core body temperature at 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h, 3.0 h between the two groups (P<0.05). Though the prothrombin time and shivering were improved after warming up in both groups, and there were significant differences in prothrombin time at 3.0 h after warming up and the incidence of shivering between two groups(P<0.05).There was no signifi cant difference in mean arterial pressure at all seven intervals between two groups. Conclusion The heating intravenous fl uid infusion and blood transfusion had remarkable effects to prevent hypothermia, improves blood coagulation and reduced the incidence of shivering to provide more simple and convenient warming up intervention for clinical practice.

Objective:To clarify the medical security plan and its practical effects at the main venue of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games.Methods:The plan described the medical security implementation plan of the main venue of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou (organizational management and operation mechanism, medical security operation system, standardized training and support processes, application of Asian Games intelligent first aid security system, and so on). And through high-facticity simulation verify the operation effect of the main venue's medical support (team mode and response time). Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the medical security program verified through the effect of medical services (quantity, disease types, transfers, etc.) during the Asian Games and Asian Paralympic Games.Results:The medical security team of the main venue of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games included the management team and the operation team, of which consisted of 44 medical staffs (22 doctors and 22 nurses); and were deployed to 16 different security positions. It was also accompanied with 16 volunteers to assist medical staff to transport patients. In addition, a total of 300 medical observers were enrolled in audience area to assist rapid identification, intervention, and collaborative diagnosis and treatment with the medical team. Medical security teams were arranged to cover all the audience areas who can arrive at the patient's area within 2 minutes after receiving orders, transfer the patient to the ambulance’s site in 8 minutes, and transport the patient to a designated hospital within 10-20 minutes. During the Asian Games and Asian Paralympic Games, the medical-care team treated a total of 3 742 patients, including 9 patients transported from medical service sites of the audience area to the stadium infirmary, as well as 83 patients referred to the designated hospital.Conclusions:The medical security implementation plan for the main venues of the Asian Games provides good medical security for the Asian Games and Asian Paralympic Games.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of the construction of urban unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) blood distribution system, and to provide a novel way for the distribution of emergency blood.Methods:The study was completed in Hangzhou from April 2019 to January 2021, and the main participants were from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang Province Blood Center and Hangzhou Fast Ant Network Technology Co., Ltd. Firstly, an unmanned aircraft delivery system was built for urban emergency blood and a special blood storage box for drones were developed. The drone was used to deliver blood products from Zhejiang Province Blood Center to Binjiang Campus, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and the following indicators were obtained: (1) flight time of the drone blood delivery; (2) real-time temperature of blood products during transportation; (3) Baidu map software was used to measure the blood delivery time of road traffic, which was compared with the flight time of the drone.Results:The urban drone blood delivery system consists of intelligent logistics drones, cryogenic blood storage tanks, unmanned logistics hub stations, and cloud-based operation control platforms. The drone route distance from Zhejiang Provincial Blood Center to Binjiang Campus, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine was 2.36±0.06 km, and the ground distance was 5.8 km, with 27 flights from April 12, 2019 to January 29, 2021, and the drone flight time was, shorter than the road travel time for a round trip [(6.37±0.35) min vs. (17.00±1.94) min]. At different time points of the day, UAV blood delivery could save 15.98-4.28 min, with an average saving of 10.62±1.87 min.
