Nowadays, modern information technology is rapidly developing; traditional novelty assessment service could not satisfy users' demands. The paper introduces an online application and management information system for medical research novelty assessment innovated of Zhuhai Health Information Center, including its background of exploration, system functions and application effects. Using this system to provide service for users could not only promote the efficiency and convenience but also provide new space of development for novelty assessment work.

Keratorefractive surgery changes the central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal curvature, which could influence the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and non-contact tonometer (NCT) measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP), but not dynamic contour tonometer(DCT). During the procedure of LASIK, there is a transient rise of IOP, which increases the risks of optic nerve damage. Meanwhile, the presence of functioning filtering blebs may affect the choice and outcome of refractive surgery, or even becomes a contraindication of surgery. Steroids are typically used after keratorefractive surgery, which could lead to IOP elevation. Hence it is important to monitor IOP after LASIK and to be aware of inaccurate IOP readings due to corneal flap interface fluid. Treating patients with postoperative elevated IOP after keratorefractive surgery is similar to that for patients with glaucoma. This review will address the issues surrounding the safety, relevant complications and implications of keratorefractive surgeries on glaucoma and relevant diagnostic tests.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of acute traumatic subdural hematomas (SDH) in infants and discuss the treatment methods. Methods The clinical features of 48 infants under three years old with acute traumatic SDH admitted from 2002 to 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 31 infants under one year old (65%). The most popular injury cause was accidental fall in 37 patients (77%). Of all patients, 12 patients (25%) had disturbance of consciousness,eight ( 17% ) had convulsion and eight ( 17% ) were combined with skull fractures. The treatment methods included craniotomy and evacuation of the blood clot in 18 patients ( including 13 patients underwent instant operation after admission ), burr hole craniotomy and external drainage of the chronic subdural hematoma in seven and conservative management in 23 with small subdural hematomas. All patients obtained good outcome except that two patients had motor dysfunction and one death. Conclusions The incidence of acute traumatic SDH in infants is high, especially in infants under one year old. It is easy to be disregarded at early stage and may deteriorate to chronic subdural hematoma or hydropsy. Early diagnosis and active surgical treatment may attain sound prognosis.

ObjectiveTo further evaluate the value of the stereotactic gamma-ray body radiation therapy ( γ-SBRT ) for patients with stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) basing on the preliminary studies.MethodsTwenty-nine eligible patients with stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ NSCLC who is unable or unwilling to receive surgery underwent treatment prospectively with γ-SBRT (OUR-QGD).Patients were fixed by vacuum bag.Each patient underwent slow CT simulation at 5 s/slide with thickness of 5 mm and interval of 5 mm to take into consideration tumor motion.A total dose of 50 Gy was delivered at 5 Gy/fraction to 50% isodose line covering 100% of the PTV,with 60 Gy at 6 Gy/fraction to 60% isodose line covering 90% of the CTV,70 Gy at 7 Gy/fraction to 70% isodose line covering 80% of the GTV,and 10 times finished in 2 weeks,5 fractions per week.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 97%.The 6 month local tumor response rate was 93%,with CR 86%,and PR 7%.The 1-,2-year local control rates were both 93%.The 1-,2-year overall survival rates for the whole group,stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ were 97% and 89%,100% and 92%,67% and 67%,respectively.The 1-,2-year progression-free survival were 90% and 86%,respectively.34% of the patients had acute radiation toxicities ( grade 1,2 and 3 in 6,2 and 2patients,respectively),and 38% late radiation toxicities ( grade 1 and 2 in 10 and 1,patients).Conclusions γ-SBRT is a safe and effective treatment regimen,resulted in promising local control and survival with minor toxicity.

Objective To explore the clinical application of ultrasonography on tethered spinal cord syndrome (TCS).Methods Ultrasonic feature of 45 patients with TCS were analyzed retrospectively. Pre-and post-operative blood flow rates of cone were recorded by color doppler.Results Ultrasound was the same as computer tomography not only presented the image of anatomy and pathology of TCS,but also showed the lack of pulsatile motion of distal cord with TCS.Before the operation,blood flow rates of cone were( 0.047?0.012) m/s.After the operation,blood flow rates of cone were(0.158?0.029) m/s.There was significantly different(P

Objective To study the effects of granisetron hydrochloride on vasovagal syncope(VVS) in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four healthy New Zealand rabbits were divided stochastically into control group and intervention group,12 in each group. The control group was injected intravenously with normal saline. The intervention group was injected intravenously with granisetron hydrchloiride.Rabbit VVS models were established,each was taken at 4 points in time in the bloodletting process:T1,T2,T3,T4,to compare the bloodletting time,the concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) in T2,T3,T4 and the total blood volume between the groups,and monitor the heart rate, blood pressure during the entire process.Results 1.The time of intervention group in T2,T3,T4 was longer than the time of control group obviously(P

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of posttraumatic cerebral massive infarction in children. Methods 68 cases were reviewed. Results There were 43 cases complicated with subarachnoid hemorrhage, 37 with brain contusion, 48 with fracture of skull,and the hematoma was subdural in 29 cases, epidural in 16 cases, and intracerebral in 14 cases. Other complications included fracture of limbs (24/68), thoracic or abdominal injury (15/68), and hemorrhagic shock (30/68). The infarction were found mostly in the first 7 d (range 2 h~13 d), and 32 cases within 4~7 d after the trauma. The outcome when discharged (according to the Glasgow outcome scale) was good recovery in 32 cases, moderate disability in 15 cases, severe disability in 9 cases, vegetative state in 4 cases, and 8 cases died. Conclusion The feature of the posttraumatic cerebral massive infarction in children is usually concealed by primary injury. CT and MRI are the bases for diagnosis.The outcome may be better than in the adults when early diagnosis and intervention has been produced.

Objective To investigate the geographic distribution panem of patients with anorectal atresia/stenosis in China.in order to provide clue for research on its etiology.Methods Data were collected from Chinese Birth Defects Monitoring Network(CBDMN),which was a hospital-based congenital malformations registry system.From 2001 to 2005,all fetuses with more than 28 weeks of gestation and neonates up to 7 days of age,were monitored.Two-dimensional graphic cluster method was used to divide monitoring stations into difierent classes with the incidence rates of anorectal atresia/stenosis.Results The overall incidence of anorectal atresia/stenosis was 3.17 per 10000 during 2001 to 2005.The incidence was higher in Eastern than that in Mid or Western paas of China and tbe difierence was statistically significant(z=2.50,3.69;P=0.012,<0.001).The monitoring stations were grouped into 6 classes.Class I was with Helongjiang,Jilin and Liaoling;Class Ⅱ was with Fujian,Guangdong,Hainan,Guangxi,and South Hunan and Jiangxi;ClassⅢwas with Beijing,Tianjin,Hebei,Shandong,and Noah Jiangsu and Anhui;Class Ⅳ was with Zhejiang,Shanghai,South Anhui and Jiangsu,Noah Hunan and Jiangxi,Hubei,Henan,Shanxi and Inner Mongolia,Class V was with Ningxia,Gansu and Qinghai;and Class Ⅳ was with Shaanxi,Sichuan,Chongqing,Yunnan,Guizhou.Xinjiang and Tibet.Conclusion Our findings discovered the geographic distribution patterns of patients with anorectal atresia/stenosis in China.It is important to further analyze the relevant environmental factors attached to it so a beRer regional monitoring system for anorectal atresia/stenosis can be operated.
