Objective:Contrast sensitivity(CS) is a new technique which measures the discrimination capacity of the human eye to an object under low contrast conditions.It is more acute and more complete in reflecting visual function than the Snellen chart which is used to test the discrimination under high contrast conditions.Our purpose is to compare the effect of an aspheric intraocular lens(IOL) with those of conventional monofocal silicone and acrylic IOL and multifocal IOL on functional visual performance. Methods:To 90 eyes after phaco emulsification with IOL implantation,30 eyes of age-matched patients were selected as control,all patients were 50-80 years old,with no disorders,other than cataract,known to affect CS.Corrected visions were all over 0.8.The CS was measured 30 days after surgery.Results:After surgery the patients' CS returned to the normal level,but which was lower than that of the control's.The aspheric IOL provided statistically significant better contrast sensitivity at 6,12 and 18 cycles per degree. Conclusion:The use of a modified prolate IOL in cataract surgery has the potential to improve CS,which is designed to partially compensate the average spherical aberration of the cornea.

Objective To compare effect of swaddle bathing and tub bathing on neonatal behavior state, and improve the safety and comfort of newborn infants. Methods This was a prospective non-randomized control study. From February 2016 to September 2017, a total of 110 neonates were divided into swaddle bathing group or tub bathing group, each group including 55 cases. Neonates in swaddle bathing group received swaddle bathing after discharge, while neonates in tub bathing group received tub bathing. Behavior state in the process of bathing and temperature before and after bathing were compared. Results In swaddle bathing group, 85.5% (47/55) of neonates kept quiet during the bathing process, which was significantly higher than 56.4%(31/55) in the tub bathing group (χ2=11.282, P<0.01). 30.9%(17/55) of neonates in swaddle group were crying, significantly lower than 50.9% (28/55) in tub bathing group (χ2=4.550, P<0.05). Duration of neonatal grasp reflex, crying time (seconds), and neonatal body temperature after bathing was (2.3±0.4) points,2(0,7)s and (36.49±0.02)℃in swaddle bathing group, and (7.9±0.5) points, 6 (5,10) s and (36.38±0.03)℃in tub bathing group, and the difference was significant(t=4.366, 2.910, Z=3.534, P<0.01). Conclusions Swaddle bathing can promote neonatal behavior state in the process of bathing and reduce neonatal the feeling of fear. Moreover, it could help keep warm more effectively.

To explore the clinical efficacy of S-1 single agent adjuvant chemotherapy for the patients undergoing radical resection of extrahepatic biliary carcinoma.
Methods:
The clinical data of 108 patients with extrahepatic biliary carcinoma receiving radical resection who were admitted from January 2014 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 62 males(57.4%)and 46 females(42.6%),with a median age of 59 years (range:26 to 79 years),10 cases(9.3%) in stage Ⅱ,85 cases(78.7%) in stage Ⅲ, and 13 cases (12.0%) in stage Ⅳ, 40 cases(37.0%) of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, 8 cases(7.4%) of middle cholangiocarcinoma, 25 cases (23.2%) of distal cholangiocarcinoma, 35 cases(32.4%) of gallbladder carcinoma.After radical resection of extrahepatic biliary carcinoma, 49 patients receiving S-1 single agent chemotherapy and 59 patients receiving non-special treatment were divided into the chemotherapy group and the operation group,respectively. All the dates of the patients were followed up and collected with the overall survival time,tumor-free survival time,1,2 and 3-year survival rate after operation,and the rate of major toxic reaction during chemotherapy of the chemotherapy group. Survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival analysis was done using the Log-rank test.
Results:
There were no significant differences in the general date of two groups(sex, age, tumor size, tumor site, TNM stages, degree of differentiation). The median overall survival time and the median tumor-free survival time in the chemotherapy group were 27 months and 21 months,respectively,and in the operation group were 21 months and 17 months,respectively. There were differences between the two groups in the overall survival rates(χ2=3.967,
