Ocular surface squamous neoplasia(OSSN)is a series of pathological solid tumors formed by dysplasia of keratoconjunctival epithelium, which is one of the most common ocular surface tumors in adults. In the past two decades, the treatment of OSSN has gradually changed from surgical resection to topical chemotherapy. Interferons, 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin are the most commonly used topical agents for the clinical treatment of this disease. This paper summarizes the diagnosis of OSSN and various local chemotherapy treatment options, highlights the potential role of high-resolution optical coherence tomography(HR-OCT)technology in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
2.The Wuhan model of visual health management for students: a referential framework for the public-school health system
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(1):142-145
Abstract
According to the Healthy China Action Plan, Wuhan gives full play to the role of preventing and controlling student myopia by promoting student health. The primary focus is placed on education in schools, and Wuhan has integrated educational resources to develop a multi-level myopia prevention and control system and service network for school students. The network contains educational adminstrative, schools, families, and professional technical service organizations. By integrating multiple disciplines, Wuhan has built a comprehensive vision health management service system for all students. The Internet and cloud intelligent monitoring facilitated the establishment of a smart vision health management platform for students, which thoroughly and efficiently implemented myopia prevention and control to safeguard students visual health by engaging in education, monitoring, and supervision. The prevention and control of student myopia is a breakthrough for comprehensive healthy development of students. A comparison of the standard myopia rate in Wuhan in 2019 and 2018 revealed that the standard myopia rate at different learning stages of primary school, junior high school, and high school dropped by 3.31, 2.50, and 2.26 percentage points, respectively, and the rate of myopia in primary school was significantly lower than the national level. Post-epidemic surveys showed that the compliance rate and the awareness rate of the visual environment and visual behaviors of primary and secondary school students in Wuhan reached more than 80%, and prevalence of newly onset myopia or decreased vision was 30%, which was lower than the national average. The "Wuhan Model" provides an important referential framework for public health services for school students.

Objective:
To investigate a cluster of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)caused by latent infection in Haikou,so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of COVID-19 clusters.
Methods:
An epidemiological investigation was conducted according to the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Program(Fourth Edition). The course of diagnosis and treatment,clinical characteristics and field investigation data were collected to analyze the transmission chain and the intergeneration between cases.
Results :
Among 39 people involved,five confirmed cases and two asymptomatic infections were found,with an attack rate of 17.95%. The cases aged from 40 to 65 years and lived in the dormitories near the farm of Dongshan. The first case(named Case 1)closely contacted with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Chengmai from January 28 to February 10,was isolated on February 13 and developed symptoms on February 16. The other six cases(Case 2 to Case 7)shared the water source with Case 1 from January 28 to February 13(within the incubation period of Case 1). They needed to open the power switch outside Case 1's room and the water valve in Case 1's washroom before the use of water. They might be infected by contacting the doorknob and the water valve contacted by Case 1,or by the aerosol formed after Case 1 used the washroom,then infected each other when living together. The onset of Case 2 to Case 7 was earlier than Case 1,and they had no travelling history in Hubei Province 14 days before and contacted no confirmed cases except Case 1. Therefore,Case 1 was the source of the cluster during his incubation period of COVID-19.
Conclusion
This was a cluster of COVID-19 due to latent transmission by living in the same area and touching the same objects indirectly,which indicated that COVID-19 was infectious in the incubation period.

Objective To investigate the effects of nimotuzumab on radiosensitivity of ECA?109 and TE?13 esophageal carcinoma cell lines and explore its possible mechanism. Methods The ECA?109 and TE?13 cells were divided into control group, irradiation group, medicine group, and combined group ( irradiation + medicine) . In the combined group, ECA?109 and TE?13 cells were treated with nimotuzumab for 24 h before irradiation, and the cells were collected 2 h after irradiation. The radiosensitizing effects of nimotuzumab on ECA?109 and TE?13 cells were evaluated by clone formation assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to evaluate the expression of EGFR, p?EGFR, DNA?PKcs, p?DNA?PKcs and γH2AX. Results The values of Dq( quasithreshold dose) , D0( mean lethal dose) and SF2(surviving fraction at 2 Gy) of ECA?109 and TE?13 cells in the combined group were significantly lower than those of the radiation group ( for ECA?109 cells, 1. 11 vs. 1. 72, 1. 40 vs. 2. 14, 0. 42 vs. 0. 66, respectively;for TE?13 cells, 0.41 vs. 0.46, 0.43 vs. 0.65, 0.40 vs. 0.71, respectively ( all P<0.05) . The sensitivity enhancement ratio (SER) of ECA?109 and TE?13 cells were 1.35 and 1.43, respectively. Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of ECA?109 and TE?13 cells in the combined group were significantly higher than those of the radiation group [ for ECA?109 cells, ( 41. 31 ± 1. 52)% vs. ( 9. 54 ± 0.52)%;for TE?13 cells, (46.28±0.28)% vs. (11.32±0.31)%, both P<0.01]. Western blotting showed that the expression levels of EGFR and DNA?PKcs were not significantly different in all groups ( all P>0.05) . Compared with those of the control group, p?EGFR and p?DNA?PKcs of the radiation group were significantly higher in both cell lines ( P<0.05) , and theγH2AX levels in the radiation group and medicine group were significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05) . Compared with those of the radiation group and medicine group, p?EGFR and p?DNA?PKcs protein expression in the combined group were decreased significantly (P<0.05), while γH2AX protein expression was significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions Nimotuzumab can enhance the radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer ECA?109 and TE?13 cells. The potential mechanism may be related to the inhibition of EGFR phosphorylation and down?regulation of DNA damage repair proteins. The radiosensitizing effect of nimotuzumab is greater on poorly differentiated esophageal cancer cells.
