Objective To investigate the emergency treatment and correlation factors of aqueous misdirection during glaucoma and cataract surgery in glaucoma patients.Design Retrospective case series.Participants 126 cases(132 eyes)of angle-closure glaucoma patients with aqueous misdirection during surgery,100 cases(100 eyes)of angle-closure glaucoma patients without aqueous misdirection during surgery and 100 cases(100 eyes)of senile cataract patients.Methods We performed pars plana vitreous water-bag aspiration or anterior vitrectomy on glaucoma patients with aqueous misdirection during surgery.All the factors in observation group and control groups were compared and analyzed by logistic regression.Main Outcome Measures Preoperative highest intraocular pressure(HIOP),intraocular pressure after maximum dose(IOP),anterior chamber depth(ACD),lens thickness(LENS),axial length (AXL),mean keratometry(K),intraocular lens diopter within-0.5D corrected by SRK-T formula(IOLD).Results Among all the 132 angle-closure glaucoma eyes whose posterior chamber pressures were increased during surgery,we performed pars plana vitreous water-bag aspiration in 123 eyes(93.18%),and anterior vitrectomy in 9 eyes(6.8%).Postoperative complications included shallow anterior chamber in 20 eyes(7 eyes with malignant glaucoma,9 eyes with choroidal detachment,4 eyes with delayed local suprachorodal hemorrhage),and vitreous local hemorrhage in 1 eye.Means of all the observation indexes on three groups showed significant difference(all P

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of health and safety management in elderly patients receiving gastroenteroscopy under sedation.Methods:From February 2018 to November 2019, 126 elderly patients admitted to the cadre medicine and gerontology department of our hospital to undergo gastroenteroscopy under sedation were included as research subjects.According to the digital random number method, they were divided into the control group and the test group(n=63, each group). The control group was given routine management, while the test group was given routine management plus health and safety management.Clinical effects and safety were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in scores of the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)and the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)between the two groups before intervention.After intervention, the scores of HAMA and HAMD were lower in the test group than in the control group[(39.2±3.1)scores vs.(48.6±2.1)scores, (40.1±4.1)scores vs.(52.6±5.5)scores, t=19.926 and 14.463, both P=0.000]. The incidence of postoperative complications was lower in the test group than in the control group(7.94% or 5/63 vs.19.05% or 12/65, χ2=14.209, P=0.002). The differences between maximum and minimum values of heart rate(HR), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), respiratory rate(RR)and systolic blood pressure(SBP)were lower in the test group than in the control group(all P<0.05). The length of the procedure was shorter and the anesthetic dose was lower in the test group than in the control group(9.11±2.56 min vs.13.56±3.05 min, 15.35±2.66 ml vs.21.67±6.15 ml, t=8.870 and 7.486, both P=0.000). Patient satisfaction was higher in the test group than in the control group( χ2=16.383, P=0.014). Conclusions:Health and safety management can improve emotional health, stabilize vital signs and enhance satisfaction in elderly patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy under sedation.

BACKGROUND: It is very important to explore an optimal loading force that can both allow effective intrusion and cause no damage to the teeth.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal loading conditions, including loading force values and directions, in the intruding mechanics of maxillary anterior teeth.METHODS: A three-dimensional finite element model (3D FEM) of the maxillary anterior teeth was constructed to include the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, and appliance (brackets and wire). The initial stress distribution and force of the maxillary anterior teeth were analyzed when the 3D FEM was loaded with different intruding force values and directions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal value of the intruding force for 6 anterior teeth fell within the range from 0.5 N to 1.0 N. The maximum stress was detected at the distal cervical level of the lateral incisor, and a relatively even distribution of initial stress was observed at 20° palatal deviation to the Y axis. The results suggest that using mini-screw implants at the labial region between the canine and lateral incisor and a combined 0.5-1.0 N intruding force with a distal force could be an optimal intrusion force system by which patients with normal occlusion could obtain a pure intrusion of anterior teeth.

How to remove the well fixed cement or cementless prosthesis and get a completely distal cement removal in the rTHR are critical to the outcome of revision. Because of higher rate of union, excellent intraoperative exposure, and adjustment of abductor tension, ETO has been widely applied to rTHR and complicated primary THR by foreign scholars. Furthermore, this technology has wide indications, very few contraindications, high cure rates,and low complications rate. ETO turns out to be a safe and effective revision technology. In the article, the indication, contraindication, complications and advantages of this technique were reviewed.

Recepteur d′origine Nantais(RON),a tyrosine kinase receptor ,is a growth factor receptor belonging to the proto-oncogene met family and has been proved to display abnormal expres?sion in many types of tumors. The RON receptor is activated by binding to the ligand macrophage stim?ulating protein,overexpression of the receptor,variants of the proto-oncogene and by point mutations of the kinase region. The downstream transduction of RON by mitogen-activated protein kinases and phosphoinositide3-kinase signaling pathways can help regulate the proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of tumor cells. A better understanding of the mechanisms and related signaling pathways of RON activation in tumor progress and development will provide more information for the RON-based target therapy.

Objective To explore the effect of preventing adhesion after the orbital blowout fracture on orbit tissue by amniotic membrane. Design Experimental study. Participants Twenty-six New Zealand rabbits. Methods Establishing rabbit orbital blowout fracture model, the right orbit of twenty rabbits was repaired by hydroxyapatite (HA) parceled of amniotic membrane, and left orbit was only repaired by HA, the orbits of the other six rabbits weren't repaired. Then we got the tissue around bone after one week and one month, and compared the difference of three groups. Main Outcome Measures Inflammatory response of tissue around bone was ana- lyzed by HE, picric acid Sirius Scarlet dying, TGF-?immunohistoehemical observation. Results One week after operation, HE and im- munohistochemistry showed that the difference was not significant in inflammatory response between experimental group and control group (P=0.351, P=0.413), and difference is significant between blank group and experimental group (P=0.012, P=0.041). One month after operation, HE and immunohistoehemistry showed that the difference was significant in inflammatory response between experimental group and control group(P=0.037, P=0.048), and there is no significant difference between experimental group and blank group(P=0.285, P=0.472). Conclusion It has an important role of anti-inflammatory and anti-adhesion in the chronic stage of inflammatory after orbital blowout fracture repaired by man-made plates of amniotie membrane.

Ginkgo is one of the most successful cases of botanical drugs developed by modern science and technology during the past fifty years all over the world. At present ginkgo has been applied to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease widely, and has good clinical efficacy.
