BACKGROUND: Therapeutic effect on pterygium mainly focuses on studying surgical technique, assistant therapy methods,and recurrence rate following excision of pterygium; however, whether race factor is associated with occurrence, development, and recurrence of pterygium remains still unknown.OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic outcomes in different race patients with pterygium treated using corneal limbal stem cell autograft combining with excision of pterygium.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective case analysis, performed in the Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University between January 2000 and June 2006. PARTICIPANTS: 1 44 (152 eyes) primary cases were collected from Xiamen and 54 (54 eyes) relapsed Negroes were from Africa. There were no significant differences in age, sex, and pterygium length between the two groups (P 0.05).METHODS: 198 subjects were treated by excision of pterygium under a microscope, in which pterygium tissue was not found on the surface of cornea. A free transplantation of the superotemporal limbus with an adjacent piece of thin conjunctiva was placed in the excision area. All cases were followed-up to grade the appearances of the sites 6 weeks, 6 and 12 months after excision (grade 1 implied normal appearance, and grade 4 implied the relapse). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Relapse, pterygium grading, and complication after corneal limbal stem cell autograft combining with excision of pterygium. RESULTS: No relapse was found at 6 weeks after operation. The recurrence rate of Chinese Han people and Africa black people were 6.6% and 14.8% respectively at 6 months, and 11.8% and 24.5% at 12 months. There was significant difference in the recurrence rate between the two races (t=4.607, P= 0.032). In addition, there were significant differences in the pterygium grading between the two groups at 6 weeks (x2=15.608, P < 0.01 ), and Chinese people recovered better. Contrarily, there was no statistical difference at 6 months and 12 months (x2=4.401, 6.206; P 0.05). Few complications were found except superficial scar of cornea and persistent irritation of ocular surface. CONCLUSION: Limbal stem cell autograft combining with excision of pterygium under a microscope can completely remove pterygium with minimal invasion, light postoperative response and low rate of recurrence. The relapse of black cases is higher than Chinese patients.

OBJECTIVEThrough comparative study on pulmonary function damage of coke oven workers exposed to coke oven emissions with the same group before and after five years, and further explore the relationship between the coke oven emissions and injury in pulmonary function of coke oven worker.

METHODSSelect a coking plant in Shanxi 165 coke oven workers (exposed group) and 52 auxiliary workers (control group) for the study, using a uniform questionnaire to collect workers' personal information. Fixed workplace air samples collected periodically. Air samples of benzo (a) pyrene concentrations was measured by high pressure liquid chromatograph. Pulmonary function of research object was measured by portable spirometer respectively in 2009 and 2013, and comparative analysis on it.

RESULTSThe concentration of B(a)P was no significant difference in the same area between 5 years in 2009-2013. Compared with 2009, 2013 control workers lung function index and the abnormal rate had no significant difference (P > 0.05). But FVC%, FEV1.0%, MVV%, VC% and FEF25% of exposed workers in 2013 was significantly lower than in 2009, FVC%, FEV1.0%, VC% and FEF25% pulmonary dysfunction rate in 2013 was also significantly higher than in 2009, difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Workers emerging pulmonary function abnormalities mainly distributed in furnace roof and side. furnace roof group FVC%, FEV1.0%, VC% additional abnormal number (rate) was significantly higher than furnace floor and the control group (P < 0.05), and furnace side groop was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after 5 years FVC%, FEV1% and VC% of abnormal lung function emerging adjusted OR of furnace roof workers were 7.939, 5.966 and 4.956. For abnormal of FVC%, FEV1%, VC% and MVV%, the contacting coke seniority is a risk factor. There is a positive interaction between contacting coke seniority and furnace roof (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCoke oven workers lung function damage associated with exposureing to coke oven emissions, coke oven emissions exposure level and exposure time are the main factors of coke oven workers in lung function damage, there is a positive interaction between the two factors.

Objective:To explore the process and content of family management of asthma children and their caregivers, so as to provide basis for improving the health outcomes of asthma children.Methods:This study is qualitative research. From March to April 2022, 26 children and 26 main caregivers from the Asthma Clinic of the Children's Hospital affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics were selected by objective sampling for semi-structured interviews. QSR Nvivo 12 software and subject analysis method were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 4 themes and 13 sub-themes were extracted, including the content on family management of asthma children (inducement prevention, drug management, disease monitoring), the family management style of asthma children (disease management concept, asthma management expectation, disease management life routine, disease essence understanding, disease management difficulty), and the family factors affecting the transition of family management of asthma children to self-management (promoting transition factors, obstructing transition factors), psychosocial state (numbness, optimism and stigma) .Conclusions:The family management of asthma children needs the intervention and support of professional nursing staff to improve the family management and the health outcomes of asthma children.

Objective:To explore the views of adolescents with asthma on factors affecting disease self-management, so as to provide a basis for improving self-management of asthma children, and propose improvement suggestions.Methods:This study was a descriptive qualitative study. From February to June 2023, 10 to 17 year old children with asthma were recruited at the Asthma Clinic of the Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics through purposive sampling. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted around self-management and its related factors, and the thematic analysis was used to analyse interview materials.Results:A total of 17 adolescents with asthma, aged (13.00±2.03) years, with a course of disease of (5.00±2.85) years, were included. The interview materials included two aspects, namely facilitators and barriers of self-management. The facilitators were coded into three themes and seven sub-themes, including the individual management awareness of children with asthma (sense of responsibility, compliance awareness), social support (parental care and compensation, teacher and classmate support, patient interaction), and health education (health guidance from doctors and nurses, school health propaganda). Barriers were encoded into three themes and six sub-themes, including disease cognition (demand competition, importance), social environment (interpersonal interaction, physical environment), and healthcare services (accessibility of medical services, school related medical resources) .Conclusions:The self-management of adolescents with asthma is affected by multiple factors. Individual management awareness, social support, and health education can promote self-management in children with asthma, while unfavorable factors in disease cognition, social environment, and healthcare services can hinder self-management in children with asthma. Medical and nursing staff should develop and implement empowerment plans for self-management of asthma children, by mobilizing multi-channel medical resources, providing multi-dimensional full process empowerment, and helping asthma children build a diverse interpersonal support network system, in order to promote effective health management transition for adolescents with asthma.

Objective To minimize variations in treatment outcomes of L5/S1 percutaneous intervertebral radiofrequency thermocoagulation(PIRFT)arising from physician proficiency and achieve precise quantitative risk assessment of the puncture paths.Methods We used a self-developed deep neural network DWT-UNet for automatic segmentation of the magnetic resonance(MR)images of the L5/S1 segments into 7 key structures:L5,S1,Ilium,Disc,N5,Dura mater,and Skin,based on which a needle insertion path planning environment was modeled.Six hard constraints and 6 soft constraints were proposed based on clinical criteria for needle insertion,and the physician's experience was quantified into weights using the analytic hierarchy process and incorporated into the risk function for needle insertion paths to enhance individual case adaptability.By leveraging the proposed skin entry point sampling sub-algorithm and Kambin's triangle projection area sub-algorithm in conjunction with the analytic hierarchy process,and employing various technologies such as ray tracing,CPU multi-threading,and GPU parallel computing,a puncture path was calculated that not only met clinical hard constraints but also optimized the overall soft constraints.Results A surgical team conducted a subjective evaluation of the 21 needle puncture paths planned by the algorithm,and all the paths met the clinical requirements,with 95.24%of them rated excellent or good.Compared with the physician's planning results,the plans generated by the algorithm showed inferior DIlium,DS1,and Depth(P<0.05)but much better DDura,DL5,DN5,and AKambin(P<0.05).In the 21 cases,the planning time of the algorithm averaged 7.97±3.73 s,much shorter than that by the physicians(typically beyond 10 min).Conclusion The multi-constraint optimal puncture path planning algorithm offers an efficient automated solution for PIRFT of the L5/S1 segments with great potentials for clinical application.

This paper aims to discuss the ideas and experience about the radiology residency training system of Canada with a presentation of its base accreditation standards for five aspects, competency goals for seven roles, four stages of training arrangement, and two types of final assessment questions. Although the Canada's radiology residency program differs from China's standardized resident and specialist training programs for radiology, there are still several points that are worth referencing, including emphasizing the training priority of competency goals, providing a specific basis for the stratification of training, offering clear guidance for the implementation of training content, and improving assessment methods to focus on competency goals. These points are of great value for improving the standardized radiology resident and specialist training programs in China, so as to provide a reference for the training of excellent radiologists in China.
