OBJECTIVETo investigate the optimal time and method of the early repair of the full layer eyelid defect caused by chemical burn.

METHODSFree nasal septum mucosal cartilage flap with muscle flap, skin grafting, or skin flap were performed in 18 cases (19 eyelids) with chemical burn within 4 postburn weeks. Eyelid reconstruction and corneal transplantation were performed at the same time in 4 patients.

RESULTSAll the reconstructed eyelids and transplanted cornea survived. The incidence of severe complications, such as exposure keratitis, corneal ulcer and eyeball perforation decreased.

CONCLUSIONFull layer eyelid defect caused by chemical burn should receive early reconstruction and repair, including timely reconstruction of eyelid for the sake of protecting the eyesight and of alleviating the inflammatory reactions, and the corneal transplantation should be done at the same time to avoid corneal perforation. Nasal septum mucosal cartilage flap could be ideal for the eyelid reconstruction.

Objective To analyze plantar pressure features of patients in injured and healthy sides of the lower limbs under different walking conditions after the trimalleolar fracture surgery, and compare these characteristics with healthy subjects. Methods Twelve Trimalleolar fracture patients and twenty-three healthy subjects were recruited and their plantar pressure characteristics under different walking conditions were tested, including peak pressure, contact area and contact time percentage. Results Comparison between injured and healthy sides: during level walking, peak pressure of the 3rd-5th toe in the injured feet were smaller than those in the healthy sides; in inversion position, peak pressure and contact area of the 3rd-5th toe area in the injured feet were smaller than those in the healthy side; in eversion position, peak pressure, contact area and contact time of the 3rd-5th toe in the injured feet were smaller than those in the healthy sides, and peak pressures of the hindfoot area were larger than those in the healthy sides. Comparison between patients and healthy subjects: under three kinds of walking conditions, peak pressures of the 2nd and 3rd metatarsus bones, the 2nd toe, the 3rd-5th toe, contact area of the 1st-5th toe and contact time percentage of the 2nd toe, the 3rd-5th toe area were all smaller than those of healthy subjects, while contact time of the hindfoot and mid-foot area were all smaller than those of healthy subjects. Conclusions The plantar pressure characteristics of Trimalleolar fracture patients were asymmetrical. Compared with healthy subjects, the plantar pressure features of patients were abnormal during stance phase. Compared with healthy subjects, the motor control ability and stability of patients in eversion positions were decreased. The plantar pressure characteristics at ankle eversion can be used to evaluate ankle joint function.

Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of Bushen Daozhuo Granules (BDG) in the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis. METHODS: This multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial included 478 patients with type Ⅲ prostatitis, 290 in the trial group and 188 as controls, the former treated with BDG at 200 ml bid and the latter with tamsulosin hydrochloride sustainedrelease capsules at 0.2 mg qd, both for 4 weeks. Before treatment, after 4 weeks of medication, and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal, we obtained the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIHCPSI) scores and compared the safety and effectiveness rate between the two groups of patients. RESULTS: Compared with the baseline, the NIHCPSI score was markedly decreased in the control group after 4 weeks of medication (21.42 ± 4.02 vs 15.67 ± 3.65, P < 0.05) but showed no statistically significant difference from that at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal (19.03 ± 3.86) (P>0.05), while the NIHCPSI score in the trial group was remarkably lower than the baseline both after 4 weeks of medication and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal (10.92 ± 2.06 and 12.91 ± 2.64 vs 21.58 ± 3.67, P < 0.05). The trial group exhibited both a higher rate of total effectiveness and safety than the control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS BDG is safe and effective for the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Omicron BA.1 breakthrough infection after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine could create a strong immunity barrier. METHODS: Blood samples were collected at two different time points from 124 Omicron BA.1 breakthrough infected patients and 124 controls matched for age, gender, and vaccination profile. Live virus-neutralizing antibodies against five SARS-CoV-2 variants, including WT, Gamma, Beta, Delta, and Omicron BA.1, and T-lymphocyte lymphocyte counts in both groups were measured and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The neutralizing antibody titers against five different variants of SARS-CoV-2 were significantly increased in the vaccinated population infected with the Omicron BA.1 variant at 3 months after infection, but mainly increased the antibody level against the WT strain, and the antibody against the Omicron strain was the lowest. The neutralizing antibody level decreased rapidly 6 months after infection. The T-lymphocyte cell counts of patients with mild and moderate disease recovered at 3 months and completely returned to the normal state at 6 months. CONCLUSION Omicron BA.1 breakthrough infection mainly evoked humoral immune memory in the original strain after vaccination and hardly produced neutralizing antibodies specific to Omicron BA.1. Neutralizing antibodies against the different strains declined rapidly and showed features similar to those of influenza. Thus, T-lymphocytes may play an important role in recovery.

Transparency Ecosystem for Research and Journals in Medicine (TERM) working group summarized the essential recommendations that should be considered to review and publish a high-quality guideline. These recommendations from editors and reviewers included 10 components of essential requirements: systematic review of existing relevant guidelines, guideline registration, guideline protocol, stakeholders, conflicts of interest, clinical questions, systematic reviews, recommendation consensus, guideline reporting and external review. TERM working group abbreviates them as PAGE (essential requirements for Publishing clinical prActice GuidelinEs), and recommends guideline authors, editors, and peer reviewers to use them for high-quality guidelines.
