Confounded association between proton pump inhibitor use and risk of biliary tract cancer: Result from three cohorts

Recent epidemiological studies suggested that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was associated with an increased risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC), however, confounders were not adequately controlled. Our study aimed to evaluate PPI use and subsequent risk of BTC and its subtypes in three well-established cohorts. We conducted a pooled analysis of the subjects free of cancers in UK Biobank (n = 463 643), Nurses' Health Study (NHS, n = 80 235) and NHS II (n = 95 869). Propensity score weighted Cox models were used to estimate marginal HRs of PPIs use on BTC risk, accounting for potential confounders. We documented 284 BTC cases in UK Biobank (median follow-up: 7.6 years), and 91 cases in NHS and NHS II cohorts (median follow-up: 15.8 years). In UK biobank, PPI users had a 96% higher risk of BTC compared to nonusers in crude model (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.44-2.66), but the effect was attenuated to null after adjusting for potential confounders (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.60-1.49). PPI use was not associated with risk of BTC in the pooled analysis of three cohorts (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.60-1.43). We also observed no associations between PPI use with risk of intrahepatic (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.49-2.04), extrahepatic bile duct (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.52-2.27) and gallbladder cancers (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.26-1.66) in UK Biobank. In summary, regular use of PPIs was not associated with the risk of BTC and its subtypes.

High-Order Positivity-Preserving Well-Balanced Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Euler Equations with Gravitation on Unstructured Meshes

In this paper, we propose a high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the compressible Euler equations under gravitational fields on unstructured meshes. The scheme preserves a general hydrostatic equilibrium state and provably guarantees the positivity of density and pressure at the same time. Comparing with the work on the well-balanced scheme for Euler equations with gravitation on rectangular meshes, the extension to triangular meshes is conceptually plausible but highly nontrivial. We first introduce a special way to recover the equilibrium state and then design a group of novel variables at the interface of two adjacent cells, which plays an important role in the well-balanced and positivity-preserving properties. One main challenge is that the well-balanced schemes may not have the weak positivity property. In order to achieve the well-balanced and positivity-preserving properties simultaneously while maintaining high-order accuracy, we carefully design DG spatial discretization with well-balanced numerical fluxes and suitable source term approximation. For the ideal gas, we prove that the resulting well-balanced scheme, coupled with strong stability preserving time discretizations, satisfies a weak positivity property. A simple existing limiter can be applied to enforce the positivity-preserving property, without losing high-order accuracy and conservation. Extensive one- and two-dimensional numerical examples demonstrate the desired properties of the proposed scheme, as well as its high resolution and robustness.     

微创超声乳化手术前后角膜前后表面及不同区域范围角膜参数的变化

目的：比较白内障微创超声乳化手术前后角膜前表面屈光力(ASF)、角膜真实净屈光力(TNP)和总角膜屈光力(TCRP)分布特点及角膜前后表面曲率半径比(B/F ratio)差异。

方法：前瞻性研究。收集2020-12/2021-05就诊于潍坊眼科医院行2.2mm微切口超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入术的年龄相关性白内障患者156例156眼。术前及术后3mo行Pentacam眼前节生物测量仪检查，收集以角膜顶点和以瞳孔为中心2、4、6mm环上和区域内ASF、TNP和TCRP，以及手术前后B/F ratio。

结果：术后3mo，以角膜顶点为中心2mm直径环上和区域内ASF值较术前均无差异(均P>0.05)，而4、6mm直径环上和区域内ASF值较术前均有差异(均P<0.05)； 以瞳孔为中心2mm直径环上及区域内ASF值较术前均无差异(均P>0.05)。以角膜顶点为中心和以瞳孔为中心2、4、6mm直径环上和区域内TNP、TCRP值较术前均有差异(均P<0.05)。术前以角膜顶点为中心和瞳孔为中心在2mm与6mm之间环上和4mm与6mm之间环上TCRP值均有差异(均P<0.0167)； 在2mm与6mm区域内TCRP值均有差异(均P<0.0167)； 术后3mo，以角膜顶点为中心和瞳孔为中心环上TCRP值在2mm与6mm之间、4mm与6mm之间均有差异(均P<0.0167)，而以角膜顶点为中心和瞳孔为中心区域内TCRP值仅在2mm与6mm直径范围内有差异(P<0.0167)。B/F ratio术前为81.79%±1.87%，术后3mo为80.68%±2.23%(P<0.001)。

结论：白内障手术前后以角膜顶点和以瞳孔为中心的不同直径环上及区域内各项角膜屈光力参数会有一定的变化和差异，人工晶状体度数计算的K值选择及基于角膜特性的人工晶状体个体化选择时应予以考虑。

社会力量参与公立互联网医院建设激励与约束机制研究

社会力量具备相应的经济基础和技术条件,对于公立互联网医院体系建设具有积极的促进作用。但是实践中仍然存在商业模式不完善、监管制度不健全等问题。基于经济学契约理论要义,提出在坚持激励与约束机制并举、平衡公私益关系的前提下,通过完善医保政策、构建互联网医疗服务价格分类管理机制来促进社会力量向医疗服务公益性目标回归,并通过构建完善的监督体制来约束部分社会力量的盲目逐利性行为。
