Objective To assess the diagnostic value of Wells score and D-Dimer detection in acute pulmonary embolism. Methods Forty-two suspected cases of pulmonary embolism were collected from March 2012 to September 2014 Then Wells score and D-Dimer detection were applied to confirm the disease. Results Of the total, 26 patients were diagnosed by computed tomographic pulmonary arteriography (CTPA). There were 7, 24 and 11 suspected cases which had low, medium and high Wells score respectively. Among them, 1, 15, and 10 cases were diagnosed by CTPA. The diagnosis rates were 14.2% (1/7), 62.5% (15/24) and 90.9%(10/11) respectively. The D-Dimer level in pulmonary embolism group was significantly higher than that in non-embolism group(P < 0.01). The D-Dimer level of cases with medium or high Wells score was higher than those with low Wells score (P < 0.05). Conclusion Wells score combined with D-Dimer is convenient, accurate and safe for predicting acute pulmonary embolism.

Background Accurate measurement of corneal refractive parameters plays an important role in the diagnosis of eye diseases,design of refractive surgery and calculation of intraocular lens (IOL) power.Ophtha TOP is a new IOL calculator,so it is necessary to evaluate the repeatability and accuracy of Ophtha TOP in measuring corneal refractive parameters.Objective This study was to evaluate the repeatability of Ophtha TOP in measuring corneal refractive status in normal eyes and determine the agreement of the measuring outcomes between Ophtha TOP and Pentacam in pre-surgery cataract eyes.Methods A reliability evaluation method of diagnosis test was performed from September 2013 to October 2014.Sixty eyes of healthy volunteers aged (30.83 ±8.66) years old were examined in Tianjin Eye Hospital with Ophtha TOP for more than 5 times to evaluate the stability in measuring corneal refractive parameters.Corneal refractive parameters were measured by both Ophtha TOP and Pentacam for more than twice in 30 pre-surgery cataract eyes to assess the agreement with Pentacam.Keratometry and astigmatism parameters were recorded,including the flattest meridian (Kf),steepest meridian (Ks),mean keratometry (Km) and the astigmatism at J0 and J45.Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC),repeatability (2.77Sw) and coefficient of variation (CoVs) were used to assess the stability of Ophtha TOP,and Bland-Altman graphs were adopted to value the consistency of measuring outcomes between Ophtha TOP and Pentacam.This study complied with Helsinki declaration,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results The ICC of Ks,Kf,Km,J0 and J45 by Ophtha TOP were all ≥0.90,and 2.77Sw were all ≤0.36,The CoVs of Kf,Ks,Km by Ophtha TOP were all ≤0.30.The measuring values of Kf,Ks and Km were significantly higher in the Ophtha TOP than those in the Pentacam,with the mean differences (0.18±0.28) D,(0.24±0.29) D and (0.21± 0.26) D,respectively(t =3.48,4.50,4.49,all at P=0.00).The mean difference of the J0 was (0.07±0.21) D and that of the J45 was (-0.02±0.18)D between Ophtha TOP and Pentacam,showing insignificant differences between them (both at P＞0.05).Bland-Altman graphs revealed that the 95％ limit of agreement (LoA) of Kf,Ks and Km between the two methods was-0.37 D to 0.73 D,-0.33 D to 0.81 D and-0.30 D to 0.72 D,respectively,and that of J0 and J45 was-0.34 D to 0.48 D and-0.37 D to 0.33 D,respectively.Conclusions Ophtha TOP shows an excellent repeatability.Compared with Pentacam,Ophtha TOP presents a good consistence for measurement of the corneal astigmatism and moderate consistence for corneal curvature.

Objective To examine the caregivers' burden and quality of life (QOL) of main caregivers of patients with Parkinson's disease by analyzing caregiver and patient-related factors. Methods A total of 53 cases with Parkinson's disease seen from October 2012 to December 2013 in Yantaishan hospital of Yantai City were selected. Assessments: (a) EuroQol-5 questionnaires, including: EQ-5 dimensions (EQ -5d) and visual analogue scale (VAS). (b) Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. (c) Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y) stage; (d) Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS), 15 items; (e) Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMD-14), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMA-24); (f) Chinese version of Zarit caregiver burden interview. Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that the EQ-5D index and EQ-VAS negatively correlated with HAMD-14 of caregivers of Parkinson diseasepatients (r=- 0.318, - 0.046) (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with H-Y staging (r=-0.592, -0.531), UPDRSI (r=-0.434, -0.316) , UPDRS Ⅱ (r=0.521, 0.513) , UPDRS Ⅲ (r=0.520, 0.534), UPDRS Ⅳ (r=0.564, 0.509), PDSS in patients with Parkinson's disease (r=0.547, 0.490), HAMD-14 (r=0.315, 0.350), HAMA-24 (r=0.413, 0.401) of Parkinson's disease patients (P<0.05). Caregiver burden was related with HAMD-14 (r=0.496), HAMA-24 (r=0.551),H-Y stage (r=0.697), PDSS (r=0.659), UPDRS Ⅰ-Ⅳ (r=0.538, 0.668, 0.696, 0.600), EQ-5D index of Parkinson disease patients (r=0.682), EQ-VAS of Parkinson disease patients (r=0.670) (P<0.05); and positively related with anxiety of caregivers (r=0.275) , and a negative correlation with the caregivers' quality of lives (r=0.665) (P<0.05). Bivariate analyses showed significant correlations between caregiver burden and patients' sleep, scores of Parkinson's motor symptoms, and caregivers' depression. Based on multiple regression analysis, Zarit score proved to be the main predictor of caregivers' QOL. Caregivers' age, total numbers of caregivers and H-Y stage also proved to be a relevant factor. Conclusion Improvement of patient's sleep, motor symptoms anddepression might alleviate caregivers' strain. There is a correlation between caregivers' burden and QOL. QOL of caregivers can be improved through reducing their care-burden.
