Vitreous Decompression Combined with Phacoemulsification for Medically Unresponsive Acute Angle Closure by Xiaoli Xiang, Yuan Chen, Jinyu Wang, Zhengru Huang, Zheng Gu

“…We retrospectively reviewed the results of vitreous needle aspiration combined with phacoemulsification in 17 eyes (17 patients) with acute angle closure with continuous high IOP and coexisting visually significant cataracts between September 2018 and April 2020 at the glaucoma unit of the affiliated Changshu Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. The main outcomes were the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP, anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle open distance 500 (AOD500), number of antiglaucoma medications, and surgery-associated complications. …”

Preparation of quaternary ammonium-modified silica and its adsorption of vanadium(V) by ZHANG Cuihong, WANG Jing, WANG Jie, YUAN Wenjiao

“…The pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model indicated that the process of adsorbing vanadium(Ⅴ) by SiO2@DMOA was a surface monolayer chemical adsorption process, and the intra-particle diffusion model and Boyd model demonstrated that liquid film diffusion was the main limiting rate of this adsorption process. Thermodynamic studies demonstrated the feasibility and spontaneity of vanadium(Ⅴ) adsorption by SiO2@DMOA, with ΔH0>0, ΔS0>0 and ΔG0<0. …”

Clinical Features on Sensory Dysfunction of Upper Limbs of Patients with Unilateral Stroke by SHAO Peng, JIA Jie

“…The sensory function assessment mainly included superficial sensations (pinprick, temperature and tactile sensation), deep sensations (position sensation, kinesthesia and vibration), and complex sensations (tactile localization, stereognosis and two-point discrimination).Results(1) The distribution of different types of sensory impairment: the most common sensory impairments in patients with unila-teral stroke were the combination of superficial sensation impairments, deep sensation impairments, and complex sensations impairments (58.20%); the incidence of tactile sensation impairment was the highest (83.61%). (2) Types of sensory dysfunction: compared with the cerebral infarction group, the incidence of different types of sensory dysfunction was lower in the cerebral hemorrhage group, and some patients in the cerebral infarction group had no sensory impairment. …”
