In recent years, the combined surgery of phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and goniosychialysis has gradually emerged as a primary and effective approach in treating primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataracts. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology, postoperative intraocular pressure control is no longer the sole pursuit. Patients increasingly aspire to achieve higher postoperative visual quality. In order to ensure that patients attain a better refractive status and higher visual quality postoperatively, it is essential to minimize the negative impact caused by primary angle-closure glaucoma. This involves personalized selection of different intraocular lenses or calculation formulas,etc. Evaluation metrics for visual quality encompass visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, higher-order aberrations, subjective perception, etc. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive review of postoperative refractive shift, higher-order aberrations, contrast sensitivity and their influencing factors, and the selection of intraocular lenses for patients undergoing combined surgery for primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataracts.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum uric acid level and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and outcomes after endovascular therapy (EVT) in elderly patients with anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Elderly patients with AIS (aged ≥65 years) received EVT in Beijing Geriatric Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital from December 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. sICH was defined as cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage revealed by CT within 72 h after admission and the Naitonal Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score increased by ≥4 compared with the baseline. At 90 d after onset, the clinical outcome was evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale. 0-2 was a good outcome and 3-6 was a poor outcome. The clinical data of the sICH group and non-sICH group, as well as the good outcome group and poor outcome group were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between serum uric acid level and sICH and poor outcomes. Results:A total of 122 patients were enrolled, their age was 73.89±6.24 years, and 73 (59.8%) were male. Fifty-two patients (42.6%) had hemorrhagic transformation, 27 (22.1%) had sICH, and 28 (23.8%) had a good outcome at 90 d after onset. The serum uric acid in the sICH group was significantly lower than that in the non-sICH group ( P=0.002), while the serum uric acid in the good outcome group was similar to that in the poor outcome group ( P=0.510). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the lower serum uric acid was an independent risk factor for sICH (odds ratio 0.994, 95% confidence interval 0.990-0.998; P=0.011). Conclusion:The lower serum uric acid level was an independent risk factor for sICH after EVT in elderly patients with AIS, but it was not associated with the outcomes.

Objective To explore the application effect of nursing intervention in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods Totally 120 cases of patients with moderate or severe AD in Beijing Geriatric Hospital were selected and randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group,with 60 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received conventional treatment,while patients in the intervention group received 12 weeks' nutrition intervention on the basis of conventional treatment. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and activities of daily living (ADL) baseline were assessed,and the baseline of nutrition indicators was assessed,including hemoglobin,total protein,albumin,prealbumin and body mass index (BMI). Indicators above were compared between two groups after intervention,and the caregiver burden inventory (CBI),falling attendances,infections,and deaths were also compared.Results After intervention, the hemoglobin,total protein,albumin,prealbumin and BMI of patients in the intervention group were higher than the control group (P<0.05);the MMSE score and ADL score in the intervention group after intervention were higher than the control group;the CBI score in the intervention group was lower than the control group (P<0.05);the falling attendances,infections and deaths in the intervention group were lower than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Individualized nutritional intervention in patients with moderate or severe AD,can improve the nutritional status of patients,reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infection,reduce the incidence of falling down and mortality. The nutritional intervention also has great clinical significance in improving patients' ADL and reducing caregivers' burden.

Objective There are different degrees of angiogenesis in the tissues and organs of the patient with diabetic chron -ic vascular disease , and it is somehow difficult to observe angiogenesis .This study was to construct an experimental model of angiogen-esis in the diabetic rat in vivo. Methods Twelve SD rats were equally randomized into a normal control and a diabetes mellitus ( DM) group, the DM model constructed by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin .At 8 weeks after modeling , matrigel was planted under the abdominal skin of the control and model rats and removed 2 weeks later .Then the structure of the new vessels was observed by HE staining and the expressions of aminopeptidase P (JG12) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) detected by immunohisto-chemistry and immunofluorescence . Results Compared with the control rats , the DM models showed significant increases in the blood glucose level ([6.15 ±3.02] vs [35.08 ±6.92] mmol/L), 24-hour urine volume ([5.33 ±1.53] vs [105.00 ±20.82] mL), and 24-hour urinary protein level ([7.78 ±2.12] vs [47.70 ±9.63] mg/24 h) (P<0.01).The matrigel plug was white and transparent in the controls but red with a visible tiny vessel-like structures in the model rats .The vessel-like structures were found oc-casionally in the matrigel plug of the control animals but in large numbers with many erythrocytes in that of the DM models .In compari-son with the normal controls , the model rats exhibited significantly upregulated expressions of JG12 (7.76 ±1.85 vs 27.36 ±3.75, P<0.01) and α-SMA (10.22 ±2.64 vs 36.85 ±4.28, P<0.01) in the matrigel plug , and a vessel-like reticular distribution was ob-served. Conclusion Hyperglycemia may induce angiogenesis in the matrigel plug .The DM rat model of subcutaneous matrigel angio-genesis may contribute to the study of angiogenesis in diabetes .

Objective To investigate the roles of heavy metals in the onset of Alzheimer 's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) and to analyze the relationship between cognitive impairment and plasma heavy metal concentrations in patients with AD. Methods Fifty patients with AD, 20 with VaD, and 20 healthy controls were included in the study. According to the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), the AD patients were divided into mild dementia (CDR = 1 )and moderate to severe dementia (CDR = 2 to 3 ) groups. All the observational subjects performed the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, Hachinski ischemic index score,and CDR score. A fasting venous blood sample was taken from all the subjects for detection of the heavy metal (Tu, Ca, Fe, Me, Zn, Hg, Cr, Co, Se, and Pb) concentrations at the same time.Results Compared to the control group, the plasma Cu concentration in the mild dementia and moderate to severe dementia groups increased significantly (0. 66 ± 0. 2 1, 0. 84 ± 1.11, and 0. 85 ± 1.12 ng/g, respectively (P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference between the mild AD group and the moderate to severe dementia group. The Pb concentration in the control group was significantly lower than that in the moderate to severe dementia group (22.79 ±3.94 ng/gvs. 40. 82 ± 16.96 ng/g, P < 0. 05 ). While there were no significant differences between the control and the mild dementia and moderate to severe dementia groups. The plasma Cu concentration (0.84 ± 1.25 ng/g vs. 0. 66 ± 0.21 ng/g, P << 0. 05) and Pb concentration (32.42 ± 14. 12 ng/gvs. 22.79 ± 3.94 ng/g, P < 0. 05) in the AD group were significantly higher than that in the control group. While there was no significant difference between the VaD group and the control group for metal concentrations. There was also no significant difference for metal concentrations hetween the VaD group and the AD group. Conclusions Some heavy metals, such as Cu and Pb might have participated in the pathogenic process of AD, but the heavy metal concentrations did not have close relationship with the onset of VaD. There was no significant correlation between the degree of cognitive impairment and the plasma metal concentrations in patients with AD.
