Objective To investigate the MRI characteristics of the tumor of optic pathway and damage degree of visual function. Methods Analysis of 119 cases surgically and pathologically proved tumor suffering from optic pathway was carried out retrospectively. The patients included:36 ones with tumors in anterior segment of optic pathway,70 ones in middle segment of optic pathway,and 13 ones in posterior segment of optic pathway. The MRI examination series were transverse T 1WI SE,transverse and coronal T 2WI TSE,coronal T 2WI SPIR,and transverse,sagittal,coronal T 1WI SE after Gd DTPA enhancement. Results The tumors of optic pathway included:the primary tumors of the optic pathway and the tumors of any other part of the body which invaded the optic pathway. There was a special MRI feature on the each tumor suffering from optic pathway,but the pituitary adenoma which affects visual function was the most common tumor. Conclusion MRI is an effective method in the diagnosis of optic pathway tumor.

Objective To observe the features of the manifestations of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in multiple sclerosis (MS) and their value in clinical diagnosis. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients (84 eyes) with MS diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data included visual acuity, ocular fundus examined by direct ophthalmoscope after mydriasis, FFA, visual field, CSF,visual evoked potential (VEP) and MRI examination. Results In 42 patients (84 eyes),the positive detectable rate of examination of direct ophthalmoscope, CSF, visual field, VEP, and MRI was 36.9%, 21.4%, (71.4%, and) 83.3% respectively. Abnormal results of FFA were found in 44 eyes (52.38%), including papillitis in 4 eyes (4.76%)at the early stage with extended physiological scotoma and central scotoma; neuroretinitis in 7 eyes (8.33%)at the medium stage with central or para- central scotoma; optic atrophy in 33 eyes(39.29%) at the late stage with centripetal constriction and even tubular visual field. Conclusion The main angiographic features of MS are papillitis, neuroretinitis and optic atrophy. The manifestations of FFA combined with the results of examination of CSF,visual field, VEP and MRI is helpful for comprehensive and exact diagnosis of MS.

Oral feeding of water cannot be accomplished in some critical patients due to coma, mouth-breathing or long-term indwelling of gastric tube, causing dry mouth which results in oral pain, ulcer, or infection, aggravating patients' discomfort and even affecting the prognosis. To solve this problem, the medical staff of the First Hospital of Jiaxing developed a novel oral humidifier and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2019 2 0066979.0). The oral humidifier consists of a spraying device and a fixation device. The spraying device is a spraying housing with a water tank, and a spraying port where nanometer water mist can be emitted. The spraying housing is also equipped with a flashlight with a switch, and a schematic diagram of pupil size, which can be used to assess the pupil size conveniently. The fixing device is composed of a fixing frame, an adjustable rod and a clamp. The two ends of the adjustable rod are connected to the fixing frame and the clamp respectively, and can be adjusted to proper shape. The spraying housing can be placed on the fixing frame and installed on the bed and adjusted to the proper position quickly. This novel oral humidifier is a simple device which combines a spraying system with a pupil evaluation tool, implying significant clinical application in improving the convenience of nursing and alleviating dry mouth of critical patients.
9. Dramatic achievements in infectious disease prevention and treatment in China during the past 70 years
Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2019;40(12):1493-1498
At the beginning of the founding of People’s Republic of China, infectious diseases, such as smallpox, plague, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, measles, diphtheria, pertussis, meningitis, mumps, schistosomiasis, Kala Azar, hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, encephalitis B, typhus, malaria, Kala Azar, leprosy, scarlet fever and pinkeye, remained as epidemic in the country and endangered people’s health. During the past 70 years, the Chinese government spent huge efforts in infectious disease prevention and treatment by promulgating and implementing series of relative policies, laws and strategies, and also encouraged all Chinese people to participate in. The achievements of these efforts in controlling infectious disease epidemic were extremely successful. Today, the outbreaks and epidemic of infectious diseases in China were rarely happened with the rapid decreases in incidence and mortality rates of all notifiable infectious diseases. Smallpox was eradicated, and polio, filariasis, leprosy and neonatal tetanus were nearly eradicated. In addition, the incidence rates of vaccine-preventable diseases, i.e. measles, diphtheria, pertussis, meningitis, encephalitis B, hepatitis A, mumps, rubella, tuberculosis, were dramatically decreased and remained at relatively low levels for years. The incidence and prevalence rates of hepatitis B infection in Children decreased significantly and reached the phase objectives. Moreover, incidence rates of natural iatrogenic infectious diseases, i.e. diarrhea, typhoid and other intestinal infectious diseases, leptospirosis and schistosomiasis, and vectorborne diseases, i.e. typhus, malaria, Kala Azar, reached the lowest and some even closed to be eliminated in China. In general, infectious diseases dropped to the tenth from the top one leading cause of all deaths, which means that the achievement of Chinese infectious disease prevention and treatment strategies contributed tremendously in improving Chinese people’s health status and life expectancy.
