AIM: To analyze the influencing factors of capsular constriction syndrome(CCS)in cataract patients after phacoemulsification(Phaco)combined with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.METHODS: Retrospective study. The data of 2 900 cataract patients(2 900 eyes)in our hospital's information system from January 2021 to January 2024 were collected. All patients were treated with Phaco combined with IOL implantation, and the incidence of CCS within 30 wk after surgery was recorded. Patients were categorized into CCS(116 cases, 116 eyes)and N-CCS group(2 784 cases, 2 784 eyes)based on the occurrence of CCS. The basic data of the two groups were compared, and the influencing factors of CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation in cataract patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.RESULTS: Among 2 900 patients(2 900 eyes)included, 116 cataract patients(116 eyes)developed CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation, with an incidence rate of 4.00%. The single factor and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that the complicated diabetes, high myopia, complicated glaucoma, and axial length(AL)>30 mm were the risk factors for the occurrence of CCS after Phaco IOL implantation in cataract patients(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Attention should be paid to cataract patients with diabetes, high myopia, glaucoma and AL>30 mm, which will increase the risk of CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation in cataract patients.

Background:
When the incidence of the chronic shoulder pain syndrome is increasing year by year, it is necessary to
determine the effects of pain relief, recovery of joint disability, and impact on quality of life through clinical trial research
when calculating the results of Turem treatment, which is one of the main methods of traditional medical treatment.
Aim:
To study the effects of traditional medicine chiropractic on pain relief, mobility improvement, joint function recovery, and quality of life in chronic shoulder pain syndrome.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted using a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) design. In the study, 60 clients were randomly selected from people suffering from of the shoulder joint pain, and group 1
received Turem treatment together with physical therapy, and group 2 received physical therapy. The results of the study
were evaluated by shoulder pain (VAS score), muscle strength, range of motion of the shoulder joint with a goniometer,
and the Disability of Arms, Shoulders, and Paws Questionnaire (DASH). The research was conducted in accordance with
the appropriate ethical approvals (No. 2024/3-05), (No. 2024-18) and confirmed by an informed consent form. Clinical
trial research results were processed using T-test, Independent T-test, repeated ANOWA test.
Results:
The average age of the participants in the study was 56.13±7.13 years in the treatment group and 53.87±8.05
years in the control group, and 55% were male and 45% female. When shoulder joint pain was evaluated by VAS assessment, the values before and after treatment and after 1 month of treatment in the turem treatment group and the control
group decreased statistically significantly (p=0.000). There was a statistical difference between the results of the 2 study
groups. When assessing muscle strength, no statistically significant difference was observed between the results of the
turem treatment and control groups. When measuring the amplitude of the shoulder joint in the subjects, the amplitude of
shoulder extension, abduction, external rotation, and inward rotation increased after the treatment, and compared to the
two groups, the index of the turem treatment group increased with statistical significance (p=0.000). When assessed by
the Hand, Shoulder, and Hand Dysfunction Questionnaire (DASH), the score of the questionnaire decreased significantly
(p=0.000) before, after, and after 1 month of treatment in the turem treatment group and the control group. Turem treatment has been shown to reduce the rate of shoulder disability and improve function in chronic shoulder pain syndrome.
Conclusion: Turem treatment for chronic shoulder pain syndrome can reduce shoulder pain, increase joint range, and
improve muscle strength. Also, turem treatment reduced the rate of shoulder disability and improved function.
Conclusion
Turem treatment for chronic shoulder pain syndrome can reduce shoulder pain, increase joint range, and
improve muscle strength. Also, turem treatment reduced the rate of shoulder disability and improved function.

Objective:To observe the 95% effective dose (ED95) of Propofol mono-sedation for successfully inserting the gastroscope in healthy adults by biased coin design up-and-down sequential method.Methods:Using prospective study method, a total of 40 patients proposed for painless gastroscopy in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from April to May 2021 were selected. There were 15 males and 25 females. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification: grade I 26 cases, grade Ⅱ 14 cases. The mean age was (50.80±9.14) years, and the mean body mass index was (24.08±2.65) kg/m 2. Propofol mono-sedation was used in all patients. The initial dose of Propofol was set as 1.6 mg/kg, adjusted with 0.1 mg/kg as a step size. The biased coin design up-and-down sequential method was used in this study. The Propofol dose of subsequent patients was determined by the response to gastroscope insertion of the previous patient. If the gastroscopy insertion reaction of the previous patient was positive, the Propofol dose of the next patient was increased by one level (0.1 mg/kg); if the gastroscopy insertion reaction of the previous patient was negative, the biased coin random was performed, and the Propofol dose used by the next patient was reduced by one level (0.1 mg/kg) with 5% probability and remained unchanged with 95% probability. Changes of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation were recorded at different time points, and adverse reactions such as perioperative hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia and hypoxemia were recorded. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between different time points. The ED95 and 95% CI of Propofol in inhibiting the response to gastroscope insertion was calculated by Probit regression analysis. Results:All 40 patients successfully completed the gastroscopy. The calculated ED95 of Propofol mono-sedation for successfully inserting the gastroscope was 2.58 mg/kg with 95% CI of 2.40-3.31 mg/kg. The mean arterial pressure before anesthesia, after propofol injection, at the time of gastroscopy going through throat and immediately after examination was (97.33±13.34) mmHg, (93.15±11.35) mmHg, (78.95±9.30) mmHg, (79.38±9.94) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively. The mean arterial pressure at the time of gastroscopy going through throat and immediately after examination decreased significantly, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation compared with those before anesthesia ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The ED95 of Propofol mono-sedation for successfully inserting the gastroscope is determined as 2.58 mg/kg (95% CI: 2.40-3.31 mg/kg) by biased coin design up-and-down sequential method.
