A design of refractometer based on blur circle / 中国医疗器械杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Design a convenient and stable eye refractometer based on the theory of blur circle.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Analyze the retinal blur circle in both Emsly reduced eye model and Liou & Brennan 1997 eye model by ZEMAX. Design the coefficients including PD (pupil diameter) and NO' (length between node point and fovea) with the purpose of improving the accuracy. At last, compare the clinical optometry data from this refractor with the data obtained from optometry hospital in Wenzhou.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The blur circle diameters are nearly the same in both reduced eye model and the Liou & Brennan 1997 eye model. With the PD = 4 mm and NO' = 20 mm, the refractor shows a fine accuracy in optometry. The paired t test shows that the myopia group and the astigmatism axial direction group have no statistical difference between the data from the blur circle refractor and the hospital (P > 0.05), while the astigmatism degree group has the result of P = 0.41 which may be caused by the poor cooperation of pediatric patients. 80% of the astigmatism degree data differ from the data from the hospital in less than 0.75D.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The blur circle refractor, with the features of convenience and fine accuracy, is promised to be a new style of refractometer in the future.</p>

Influence of psychological nursing on the therapeutic effect of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To discuss the influence of psychological nursing on the therapeutic effect of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Methods Patients (60 cases) who received psychological nursing were set as the nursing group. Patients (65 cases) who did not received psychological nursing were set as the control group. The number of patients who received early insulin treatment and whose fasting plasma glucose return to normal value on the 7th and 30th days after treatment was observed. Results The number of patients who received early insulin treatment and whose fasting plasma glucose return to normal value on the 7th and 30th days after treatment in the nursing group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions Psychological nursing of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes could make patients obey doctors' advice and accept early insulin treatment to control plasma glucose and delete the toxicity of high concentration of plasma glucose as soon as possible.
