High Job Burnout Predicts Low Heart Rate Variability in the Working Population after a First Episode of Acute Coronary Syndrome.

(1) Background: Job burnout may affect the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) through mechanisms involving heart rate variability (HRV). However, no study has yet examined those potential associations. Hence, we conducted the present study to investigate this issue.

The physical activity of colorectal cancer survivors during chemotherapy : Based on the theory of planned behavior.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical activity (PA) of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors during chemotherapy and to explain it based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). In addition, the effects of planning, past physical activity (P-PA), and self-efficacy on the PA of CRC survivors were analyzed.

Methods: CRC survivors were recruited in a third-grade hospital of Changchun via a convenience sampling method.

Validation of an information-motivation-behavioral skills model of upper limb functional exercise adherence among Chinese postoperative patients with breast cancer.

Background: The adherence to postoperative upper limb functional exercise in breast cancer (BC) patients is poor which can lead to adverse health outcomes. Effective intervention content to improve adherence is still unclear. The information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model is a theoretical model that has been widely used to promote health behavior in many disease populations and may, therefore, help to explain and promote adherence to functional exercise.

RDH5 retinopathy (fundus albipunctatus) with preserved rod function.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to characterize the clinical features of four unrelated Chinese patients with retinal dehydrogenase 5 (RDH5) retinopathy (fundus albipunctatus) and to identify the genetic defects underlying this disorder.

Methods: Complete ophthalmic examinations, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, dilated indirect ophthalmoscopy, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and full-field electroretinography were performed. Genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral venous leukocytes.

Phenotypic characterization of a Chinese family with autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy related to GUCY2D.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical phenotype and investigate the molecular genetic defect in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy (ADCRD).

Methods: Family history was collected and patients underwent regular ophthalmologic examinations. Two affected individuals underwent three-year follow-ups to analyze the course of the disease.

[Clinical features of congenital stationary night blindness].

Objective: To explore the clinical features of Chinese patients with congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB).

Novel PRPF31 mutations associated with Chinese autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa patients.

Purpose: To identify the mutations in the pre-mRNA processing factor 31 homolog (PRPF31) gene in Chinese families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) and to characterize the clinical features of those patients who were found to have mutations in the PRPF31 gene.

Methods: Detailed ocular examinations were performed, and genomic DNA was isolated by standard methods for genetic diagnosis. Probands from each family were screened for mutations in the PRPF31 gene that was known to cause adRP.

Delayed visual recovery in pregnancy-associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura with bilateral serous retinal detachment.

Background: To present a pregnancy-associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) patient with bilateral serous retinal detachment (SRD).

Results: A 28-year-old nulliparous woman with 31 weeks gestation was presented to the local hospital with preeclampsia, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and bilateral blurry vision.

Novel RPE65 mutations associated with Leber congenital amaurosis in Chinese patients.

Purpose: Retinal pigment epithelium-specific protein 65 kDa (RPE65) plays an essential role in vitamin A metabolism necessary for synthesizing the visual pigment 11-cis-retinal chromophore.
