Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of oral and acupoint application of traditional chinese medicine combined with Azithromycin for the children with Mycoplasma Pneumonia. Methods A total of 160 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were divided into two groups according to digital random table method, with 80 cases in each group. The patients of the two groups were given conventional treatment to relieve cough and reduce phlegm; On the basic treatment of conventional treatment, the control group were treated with azithromycin, wile the treatment group were treated with oral traditional chinese medicine Tinghuang runfei decotion and acupointion application of Tinglizi, Baijiezi, Shengnanxing, Dahuang, and Bingpian. The treatment of both groups last 3 weeks. The time of defervescence, the disappearance time of cough and pulmonaryrales of the two groups were compared, and the serum levels of inter leukin 8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), thrombin regulatory proteins (TM), D-dimer were compared before and after treatment. The total effect rate and the incidence of adverse events were compared.Results The defervesce time (3.79 ± 1.68 dvs. 4.88 ± 1.61 d,t=3.846), disappearance time of cough (8.21 ± 2.42 dvs. 10.35 ± 2.60 d,t=5.389) and disappearance time of pulmonary rales (6.21 ± 1.89 dvs. 7.78 ± 2.08 d,t=4.997) in the treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.01). The levels of IL-8 (9.98 ± 4.26 ng/Lvs.14.18 ± 4.82 ng/L, t=5.840), TNF-a (20.78 ± 5.93ng/Lvs. 26.07 ± 6.42 ng/L,t=5.414), TM (9.63 ± 2.88μg/Lvs. 13.08 ± 3.37μg/L,t=6.961), D-dimer levels (0.09 ± 0.04 ng/Lvs. 0.15 ± 0.06 ng/L,t=7.442) the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.01). The total effect rate in the treatment gruop was significantly higher than that of the control group (97.5%vs. 88.8%;χ2=4.783,P=0.029), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups (16.3%vs. 10.0%;χ2=1.370,P=0.272).Conclusions Oral and acupointion of traditional chinese medicine Tinghuang runfei decotion combined with azithromycin could relieve the symptoms, improve the clincal effect and show its safety for the children with mycoplasma pneumonia.

AIM: To investigate the pathogenic bacteria, drug resistance, therapy and prognosis of infectious endophthalmitis secondary to different ophthalmic surgeries.METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 37 patients(37 eyes)with infectious endophthalmitis secondary to different ophthalmic surgeries. All these patients were treated in the Ophthalmology Department of Hebei General Hospital between January 2009 and June 2023. The pathogenic bacteria, drug resistance and therapeutic effects of early intravitreal injection of antibiotics or vitrectomy combined with silicone oil filling were analyzed.RESULTS:There were 24 eyes following cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation, 4 eyes following vitrectomy, 2 eyes following combination surgery for glaucoma and cataract, 2 eyes following anti-glaucoma surgery, 2 eyes following corneal transplantation, 2 eyes following anterior chamber puncture, and 1 eye following intravitreal injection among the 37 eyes with infectious endophthalmitis. Totally 37 samples of intraocular fluid were submitted for bacterial and fungal culture, and 20 strains of pathogenic bacteria were identified, including 17 Gram-positive bacteria, 2 Gram-negative bacteria, 1 fusarium, and 12 cases were staphylococcus epidermidis. According to the final therapy, 7 eyes only treated by intravitreal injection, 11 eyes treated by intravitreal injection and vitrectomy, and 19 eyes only treated by vitrectomy. At the last follow-up, the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)was ≤0.05 in 15 eyes, 0.06-0.3 in 15 eyes, and 0.4-1.0 in 7 eyes. Compared to before treatment(no light perception - hand movement in 31 eyes, counting fingers -0.05 in 3 eyes, 0.06-0.3 in 3 eyes), the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: For infectious endophthalmitis patients with relatively mild ocular manifestation and good initial visual acuity, intravitreal injection of antibiotics remains an economically viable and effective therapy option. Early vitrectomy may effectively prevent the progression of infectious endophthalmitis, reduce the number of surgeries, and significantly improve the vision outcomes.

Objective:
To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), Fibroscan, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) and their combination for early stage liver cirrhosis.
Methods:
Three hundred and twenty-two hospitalized patients who had been diagnosed with chronic viral liver disease from March 2016 to April 2018 were included. According to the clinical diagnosis, patients were divided into chronic hepatitis and the early stage liver cirrhosis group (Child-Pugh A grade). All patients were examined by Fibroscan to detect liver stiffness measurement (LSM), ARFI to detect liver virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) value, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and EUS to detect esophagogastric varices, laboratory and imaging examination. The index of EUS, Fibroscan, ARFI, and APRI was analyzed and the regression model was established by binary logistic regression, and the diagnostic efficacy of the above index and regression model for early stage of cirrhosis was evaluated by the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs).
Results:
An early stage cirrhosis group had significantly higher detection rate with EUS (esophagogastric varices), Fibroscan (LSM), ARFI (VTQ) and APRI than chronic hepatitis group [76.7% vs. 10.7%, 10.4 (7.8, 17.3) vs. 6.1 (5.2, 8.4) kPa, 1.71(1.48, 2.07) m/s vs. 1.25(1.14, 1.43) m/s and 0.65 (0.38, 1.15) vs. 0.38(0.26, 0.62), respectively]. The corresponding chi-square test were 140.86,

Retinopathy of prematurity(ROP), an abnormal vascular proliferative retinopathy of prematurity, is a serious condition that can lead to retinal detachment or blindness. With the development of neonatal medicine, the survival rate of low birth weight and low gestational age infants has been increasing, as well as the incidence of ROP. Therefore, studying ROP's pathogenesis and influencing factors is of great clinical importance. Numerous studies have been conducted on the risk factors for ROP, including gestational age, oxygen intake, mode of delivery, neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and the use of surfactants. At present, it is widely accepted both at home and abroad that preterm birth, low birth weight, and high oxygen concentration after birth are independent risk factors for ROP. In recent years, more and more scholars have found that abnormalities in blood indicators in preterm infants may be associated with the development of ROP. This article reviews the effects of platelets, haemoglobin, blood glucose, inflammatory cells, and lipids on ROP, providing a reference for identifying and preventing risk factors for ROP.

Meibomian gland dysfunction is a chronic and diffuse disease of the meibomian glands, characterized by obstruction and(or)abnormal secretion of the terminal ducts. Clinically, it can lead to tear film abnormalities and inflammation of the ocular surface, resulting in symptoms of ocular irritation and potential corneal damage that may impact visual function. Meibomian gland dysfunction can be classified into two types based on meibomian gland secretion: low secretion type and high secretion type. The low secretion type further includes acinar atrophy type and obstruction type. In recent years, research has revealed that patients with diabetes experience chronic damage to their meibomian gland tissue in the early stages of the disease, leading to structural and functional changes. The incidence and severity of meibomian gland dysfunction are higher in diabetic patients. However, there are numerous complex factors contributing to this condition in diabetes patients, and mechanisms remain unclear at present. This article reviews both domestic and international research progress on the pathological mechanism underlying meibomian gland dysfunction in diabetes.
