Accurate qualitative and quantitative assessment of anterior or posterior segment structures is crucial,not only for proper diagnosis of different ocular diseases but also for optimal surgical planning and postoperative follow-up.As a noninvasive and noncontact method,optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become an essential tests for the diagnosis of retinal diseases.To a more recent technology,swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) improved the depth of imaging and the scan speed,which can perform anterior segment evaluation liking corneal graft examination.Meanwhile,this newly technology add multimodal approach such as EVV,OCTA and En face OCT,for angiography and choroid mapping.Thus,SS-OCT has become a valuable imaging strategy to understand the pathologies of retinal diseases such as PVD,diabetic maculopathy,neovascularization and macular telangiectasia.With the use of multimodal approach,SS-OCT is beneficial for optimal surgical planning and postoperative follow-up for the vitreoretinal diseases,such as epiretinal membrane,retinal detachment,and diabetic taction retinal detachment.Moreover,this technology can help us better understand the ophthalmic pathologies of glaucoma and tumors.This article reviews the technical principles of SS-OCT and the advances in clinical applications.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)and Parkinson's disease(PD)are common neurodegenerative diseases that seriously threaten the health of the elderly, involving various abnormalities in physiology and metabolism including the impairment of mitochondrial function, Ca 2+ homeostasis deregulation, oxidative stress, aggregation of misfolded proteins, autophagy and inflammation.However, mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of these diseases have not been clearly elucidated, thus impeding advances in their treatment.In recent years, it has been found that mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes(MAM)play an important role in the development of AD and PD and exert their effects by regulating the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula.This article reviews studies of the past decade related to the effects of MAM on AD and PD, aiming to generate insights for exploring the constituent proteins of MAM and the molecular mechanisms of AD and PD via endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria Ca 2+ transport and ER stress regulated by MAM.

Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention and evaluate its role in the entire clinical course of in the treatment of children with severe burns. Methods A total of 60 children with 1-5 years old with clinical diagnosis of severe burns were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method, 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine burn care. The experimental group received comprehensive nursing interventions on the basis of routine burn care and the intervention time covered the entire course of treatment. During hospitalization, the recovery and family social system were evaluated by anxiety scales and social support scales combined with the cure rate and hospitalization of children. Results Before intervention, the score of Anxiety Rating Scale was high in both groups of families, while Social Support Scale was lower, the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the score of Anxiety Rating Scale and was Social Support Scale were (52.31±7.81), (31.52± 5.48)points in the experimental group, and (62.51 ± 6.52), (23.62 ± 5.62) points in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=5.491 3, 5.512 5, P<0.01). The length of stay was (18.34±3.58) d in the experimental group, and (21.82 ± 4.23) d in the control group, and there was significant difference(t=3.439 6, P<0.05). The cure rate was 93.33%(28/30) in the experimental group, and 56.67%(17/30) in the control group, and there was significant difference(χ2=10.755 6, P<0.05). Conclusions The comprehensive nursing intervention can provide comprehensive refinement of the overall care in children and their families, promote physical and psychological rehabilitation of children with severe burns, and repair their family and social support systems. The comprehensive nursing intervention has far-reaching implications for the rehabilitation of children with severe burns.

It is very common that the number of neurons in the brain is progressively decreasing in the neurodegen-erative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease, etc.Moreover, it is much more important that there is a decline in the neurogenesis of adult brain in such neurodegenerative diseases. In treating neurodegenerative diseases, it is a potential therapeutic modality to promote endogenous neurogenesis in the brain.

Objective To study the effect of nursing intervention on the catheter prolapse of the powerpPICC (high pressure injection type PICC catheter). Methods A total of 140 patients with powerpPICC were divided into observation group and control group by the catheter inserting time, with 70 cases in each group. The observation group received conventional nursing care, and the control group the targeted care measures based on analysis of catheter prolapse in the observation group. Result The rate of catheter prolapse in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The prolapse of powerpPICC is related to catheter material, exposed length, fixed method, patient's compliance, catheter caring method. The care measures based on the different causes can decrease the rate of catheter prolapse and extend its duration.
