Traumatic optic neuropathy(TON) is a direct or indirect optic nerve injury after head trauma leading to vision loss and blindness. As endoscopic techniques spreading, the surgical treatment of TON is mainly accomplished by endoscopic endonasal optic canal decompression. As lack of recognition, some patients elapse the optimistic surgical time. Even after aggressive treatment, however, a full recovery of visual acuity is diminished in TON, which carries substantial burden to both the patients′ family and society. The article reviews the advances in study in the timing of surgery, prognostic factors, and complications in endoscopic surgery for TON to improve the understanding of the disease.

Objective:To analyze the cause and epidemiological characteristics of an outbreak of cutaneous anthrax in Caoxian County, Heze City, Shandong Province, and to provide scientific basis for anthrax prevention and control.Methods:Using on-site epidemiological investigation methods and the "Anthrax Epidemiological Case Investigation Form", case investigations were conducted based on the epidemiological contact history and close contacts of suspected anthrax cases reported by the national health care system ( n = 83). Scorched skin smears, diseased cattle tissues, soil samples from the slaughter site and smears from slaughter utensils were collected from cases for Real-time PCR testing and pathogenic bacteria isolation and culture, respectively. Anthrax determination criteria were carried out with reference to "Anthrax Diagnosis" (WS 283-2020). Results:A total of 13 cases of cutaneous anthrax were found in this outbreak, including 12 clinically diagnosed cases and one confirmed case (positive Real-time PCR test and isolation of a strain of Bacillus anthracis). The epidemiological investigation determined that the source of infection in this outbreak was diseased cattle, the transmission route was through slaughter of diseased cattle, contact with contaminated utensils and related cattle products, and the patients were mainly engaged in occupations related to cattle slaughter or cattle product collection and sale. A total of 84 samples were collected, including 13 skin scabs, 64 environmental samples and 7 beef samples. Thirty-six positive PCR tests were performed, with a positive rate of 42.86% (36/84). Among them, 100.00% (13/13) were positive for skin scab smear specimens, 29.69% (19/64) for environmental samples and 4/7 for beef samples. A total of 8 strains of Bacillus anthracis were isolated, including 6 environmental specimens, 1 suspected case and 1 beef strain, with an overall detection rate of 9.52% (8/84). Eighty-three close contacts were investigated. Thirteen households involved in the epidemic were disinfected by spraying (200 ml/m 2) with chlorine-containing disinfectant (5 000 mg/L), and a total of 40 households involved in the epidemic were disinfected, covering an area of about 10 765 m 2. Forty-five pieces of suspected contaminated clothing were burned and disposed of, and 152 pieces of kitchenware were soaked. Conclusions:Slaughter of infected cattle, contact with contaminated utensils and related cattle products are the main causes of this skin anthrax outbreak. Strengthening market supervision, deepening inter-animal epidemic prevention, carrying out publicity and education on anthrax prevention and control, and enhancing practitioners' awareness of disease prevention is the key to prevent anthrax from occurring.

Objective:To explore the relationship between severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) Gc and its N-glycosylation site and viral infectivity, a recombinant pseudovirus containing SFTSV Gc glycosylation site mutant was constructed.Methods:The eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1(+ )-GC, PCDNA3.1(+ )-GC(N291Q), PCDNA3.1(+ )-GC(N352Q) and PCDNA3.1(+ )-GC (N374Q) were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and homologous recombination. After their successful expression in 293T cells, we infected VSVΔG-Fluc*G pseudovirus, constructed four recombinant pseudoviruses and tested their effects on the cell force of infection.Results:Double digestion identification and sequence determination confirmed the successful construction of eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc, pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc(N291Q), pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc(N352Q) and pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc(N374Q). Indirect immunofluorescence and Western Blotting result indicated the successful expression of all the four recombinant plasmids. SFTSV Gc recombinant pseudoviruses are specific for infecting Vero cells. Pseudovirus infection capacity was decreased significantly after the glycosylation site mutation, and the mutant strain with the glycosylation site at position 352 had the lowest level of infectivity ( P<0.001, P=0.001). Conclusions:The glycosylation site of SFTSV Gc may be associated with the infectious effect of the viral infection, and the amino acid mutation at position 352 has the greatest effect on the viral infectivity.

Objective:To carry out a scoping review on feeding decision aids in patients with advanced dementia, clarify the characteristics, functions, and application effects of the tools, so as to provide reference for further clinical research.Methods:The research on feeding decision aids for patients with advanced dementia was systematically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP, WanFang Data, and the China Biomedical Literature Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library. The search period was from database establishment to August 2022. Two researchers independently selected literature based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted, summarized and analyzed data from the included literature.Results:A total of 8 decision aids were included. The main types included web-based decision aids, paper text decision support manuals, audio manual form decision aids, and a combination of various forms of decision aids. Decision aids provided dementia feeding related information to patients and surrogate decision-makers, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of different feeding methods, helped clarify their value preferences, and assisted them in making feeding decisions. The evaluation of application effectiveness mainly included outcome indicators such as knowledge, decision conflict, decision regret, decision satisfaction, frequency of doctor-patient communication, and acceptability and effectiveness of decision aids.Conclusions:Decision aids have played a positive role in selecting feeding methods for dementia patients and surrogate decision-makers. Under the background of "Internet + nursing service", we can learn from the experience of foreign research and make full use of artificial intelligence technology to explore scientific and feasible personalized decision aids, so as to provide demand based decision support for patients and their surrogate decision-makers and improve the quality of decisions.
