白内障术后生物学参数变化及IOL计算公式的准确性研究

目的：运用新型光学生物测量仪IOL Master 700测量白内障超声乳化手术前后眼部生物学参数的变化，并探讨人工晶状体(IOL)屈光度数计算公式的选择。

方法：前瞻性研究。收集2021-01/06在苏州大学附属第一医院就诊的白内障患者52例57眼。术前和术后3mo使用IOL Master 700完成眼轴长度(AL)、前房深度(ACD)、角膜曲率(Km)的测量并分析。对不同IOL公式计算时预留的目标屈光值与术后3mo全自动验光仪实际屈光值结果进行比较并分析。

结果：手术前后测量的AL平均值分别为24.20±1.86、24.09±1.86mm，术后AL缩短了0.11mm； ACD值分别为3.08±0.44、4.55±0.36mm(P<0.001)，术后ACD加深1.49mm； Km值分别为44.14±1.86、44.14±1.82D(P>0.05)。术前选用Barrett Universal Ⅱ公式所测结果的屈光误差最小，其次是Holladay Ⅱ及SRK/T公式，Holladay Ⅰ公式所测结果的误差最大(P<0.05)。

结论：白内障术后AL缩短以及ACD加深，度数测算时可考虑增加0.1mm的校正因子。IOL屈光度数计算公式中Barrett Universal Ⅱ公式预测性最佳，其次是Holladay Ⅱ及SRK/T公式。     

Impaired semen parameters in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection: A prospective cohort study

In this prospective study, we investigated the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on semen parameters in a cohort of men who had recently recovered from COVID-19. A total of 24 men who had recently recovered from mild COVID-19 were included in the study. Their semen parameters were normal before COVID-19 according to the World Health Organization 2010 reference values. Semen samples were collected from these participants in the recovery phases of COVID-19. To determine the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on semen parameters, the patients' pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 semen analyses were compared. The mean age of the participants was 34.7 ± 6.4 years. The median interval between the positive nasopharyngeal swab test and obtaining semen samples was 111.5 (158) days. There was no significant difference in semen parameters before and after COVID-19 in terms of semen volume (p = .56), sperm concentration (p = .06), and progressive motility (p = .14). Total motility (p = .01) and total motile sperm count (p = .02) decreased significantly after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to the pre-infection values. This study demonstrated that sperm motility and total motile sperm count were the semen parameters which showed a significant reduction in cases with a history of mild COVID-19.     

Oncentra近距离计划系统和MIM系统间DVH参数差异的分析

目的对近距离治疗计划的剂量参数在Oncentra治疗计划系统与MIM系统间产生的差异进行分析和研究。方法选取本院的43例妇科肿瘤患者近距离治疗计划,按照临床要求所有病例的靶区D₉₀达到处方剂量。评估参数包括:靶区体积和D₉₀,处方剂量总体积,靶区内的处方剂量体积以及危及器官包括:直肠,膀胱,小肠的D_0.01cc,D_1cc,D_2cc。结果计划系统中的靶区体积和处方剂量值均明显小于MIM系统中相应的值(P<0.05),两系统显示出的处方体积相差不大。MIM系统中的靶区D₉₀(676.74±54.82)cGy小于处方剂量,危及器官的受量则正好相反,即计划系统比MIM系统中相应的参数要小,其中直肠和膀胱的D_0.01cc,D_1cc,D_2c,小肠的D_0.01cc,D_2cc的在两系统显示的值的差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论不同系统间传输相同的剂量和轮廓文件,DVH参数存在一定的差异,其主要原因是在不同系统对已勾画的各种器官轮廓计算体积存在算法上的不同。基于此,建议近距离计划在CT扫描时,尽量小的层厚可以消除或减少这种差异。

Kinetic Investigations of Quaternization Reactions of Poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] with Diverse Alkyl Halides

Kinetic investigations of the quaternization reactions of poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) with alkyl halides (1‐iodobutane, 1‐iodoheptane, and 1‐iododecane) are carried out at different temperatures. For this purpose, a PDMAEMA (M_n = 17.8 kDa, Ð = 1.35) synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization is utilized. The progress of the quaternization reactions is followed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance. As expected, the rate of quaternization is higher with increasing temperature. The experimental data are used to determine the following kinetic parameters: order of the reaction, Arrhenius' pre‐exponential factor, and activation energy. To the best of knowledge, this is the first contribution that provides detailed kinetic data of the quaternization reactions on PDMAEMA.     

Pelvic obliquity as a compensatory mechanism leading to lower energy recovery: Characterization among the types of prostheses in subjects with transfemoral amputation

BackgroundSubjects with transfemoral amputation (TFA) show an asymmetric gait pattern associated with a decreased ability to recover mechanical energy and an increased metabolic cost of walking.Research questionThis study aimed to identify the spatio-temporal and kinematic gait variables correlated with mechanical energy values in subjects with TFA and to observe the ability of the identified parameters to discriminate between TFA and controls according to the type of prosthesis.MethodsThe gait of 40 subjects with TFA was evaluated with a motion 3-D optoelectronic system. Nine subjects wore a mechanical prosthesis (TFAm), seventeen a C-Leg prosthesis (TFAc), and fourteen a Genium prosthesis (TFAg). Spatio-temporal and pelvic kinematic parameters were measured. Energy recovery was measured relative to the whole-body center of mass (CoM) kinematics as the fraction of mechanical energy recovered during each walking step (R-step). Correlation tests and multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the correlation and association between kinematic and energy variables, respectively. Receiver operating characteristics curves were plotted to assess the ability of the correlated parameter to distinguish subjects with TFA from controls, and optimal cutoff point values were calculated according to the type of prosthesis.ResultsAmong the spatio-temporal and kinematic parameters correlated to R-step, only pelvic obliquity of the prosthetic side was significantly associated with R-step. It showed an excellent ability to discriminate between TFA and controls. Furthermore, pelvic obliquity showed an excellent discriminative ability in identifying TFAm and TFAc and a good discriminative ability in identifying TFAg from controls.SignificancePelvic obliquity plays an important role in energy recovery during gait for subjects using prosthetics. This information might be exploited to monitor the adaptation of subjects with TFA to prosthetic devices, to lower the energetic cost of walking potentially, and to reduce the long-term risks of secondary physical complications in prosthetic users.     

中药渗漉提取工艺研究进展

渗漉法是将经过处理的药材粉末置于渗漉器中,不断加入溶剂,并收集渗漉液的一种中药常用提取方法,具有设备简单,操作容易,适用药材范围广,能有效提取热不稳定成分或组分等优点,但也存在溶剂消耗量大,提取耗时长,后续浓缩工艺能耗大等不足。该文主要综述了中药渗漉常见设备类型、工艺影响因素、参数优化方法以及过程监测方面的研究进展。分析文献后认为粉末粒度、溶剂组成、浸渍时间、渗漉流速、溶剂用量是渗漉工艺的重要影响因素。目前在渗漉工艺在线监测时采用近红外光谱技术较多,偏最小二乘法是常用的定量建模方法。笔者认为借鉴"质量源于设计"理念进行工艺控制,深入探究渗漉工艺机制并研发工艺控制方法是今后的发展趋势,所以应该深入探索过程建模技术,完善过程优化技术,研发过程监测技术。构建渗漉过程模型时可考虑借鉴柱色谱工艺的机制模型和经验模型。优化渗漉工艺参数时应考虑药材品质变化的影响,也需要研发更加简便易用的方法以监测渗漉过程状态和渗漉液关键性质。
