Nonspecific orbital inflammation(NSOI)is an orbital inflammation that is not associated with an infection. Even though it's often considered the most common diagnosis in orbital biopsies, it's still an exclusionary diagnosis that means systemic illnesses and other possible causes have to be ruled out. Though it is always an excluded clinical diagnosis, acute orbital symptoms such discomfort, exophthalmos, periorbital edema, chemosis, diplopia, and vision impairment are commonly associated with NSOI. Clinical diagnosis and management of NSOI provide a substantial difficulty. There are presently no recognized diagnostic criteria or standard treatment strategy for NSOI, and the clinical symptoms and histological features show significant variation. This guide was formulated under the auspices of the Ocular Oncology Committee of the Opthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Opthalmology Committee of International Association of Intelligent Medicine, Opthalmology Committee of International Association of Translational Medicine making a detailed summary of the definition, classification, diagnosis and treatment of the NSOI, with a view to aiding clinicians to improve diagnostic efficiency and formulate a better treatment plan for patients.

It is believed that Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤， SYD） is effective in regulating the flow of Qi （气）， and can treat various diseases caused by the disorder of the spleen and stomach Qi. In clinical practice， based on the pathological characteristics of children often having insufficient spleen， and adhering to the principle of treating different diseases with the same method， the focus is placed on the core pathogenesis of spleen and stomach Qi disharmony. We use SYD in various pediatric conditions such as allergic rhinitis， post COVID-19 condition， urethral syndrome， and dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adolescence， and emphasize the treatment is flexibly tailored to the symptoms.

ObjectiveTo observe the effectiveness and safety of Jiuzihuichun decoction combined with spleen- strengthening moxibustion in patients with asthenospermia infertility with spleen-kidney deficiency pattern. MethodsA total of 82 patients with asthenospermia of spleen-kidney deficiency pattern in Shanghai Seventh People's Hospital were included. The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group， with 41 patients in each group. The control group received oral administration of WuziYanzong pills combined with spleen-strengthening moxibustion. The dosage of Wuzi Yanzong pills was 1 bag each time， and it was taken twice a day. The spleen-strengthening moxibustion was carried out once a week. The observation group， on the other hand， took Jiuzi Huichun decoction orally combined with spleen-strengthening moxibustion. The Jiuzi Huichun Decoction was taken 200 mL each time， twice a day， with one dose in the morning and one in the evening. The spleen-strengthening moxibustion for the observation group was also performed once a week. The treatment course for both groups was 12 weeks， and they were followed up for an additional 12 weeks. During the treatment process，12 cases were either lost to follow-up or excluded. Eventually， 70 cases were available for evaluation，with 35 cases in the control group and 35 cases in the observation group. The pregnancy status of the patients' spouse within 6 months was recorded. The traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores of spleen-kidney deficiency pattern before and after treatment were evaluated. The semen volume，semen routine parameters，normal sperm morphology，sperm DNA fragmentation index，seminal plasma fructose，seminal plasma acid phosphatase， and seminal plasma α-glucosidase levels of the two groups were detected before and after treatment. In addition， the safety indicators related to liver and kidney functions of the two groups were detected before and after treatment. ResultsDuring the 6-month observation period， when compared with the situation before treatment in their respective groups，the semen volume of the observation group and the control group increased. In contrast， the sperm concentration，sperm motility，proportion of a+b-grade sperm，normal sperm morphology，seminal plasma fructose，seminal plasma acid phosphatase，seminal plasma α-Glucosidase，the proportion of a-grade sperm，linear sperm motility，linear sperm concentration， and linear sperm count all increased significantly（P<0.05）. At the same time， the sperm DNA fragmentation index and the TCM syndrome scores of the spleen-kidney deficiency pattern decreased significantly（P<0.05）. When the observation group was compared with the control group after treatment， the clinical efficacy of the observation group was better（Z=-2.276，P<0.05）. The pregnancy rate of the observation group's spouses was 14.3%，which was higher than the 2.9% of the control group. The sperm motility， the proportion of a+b-grade sperm，seminal plasma fructose，the proportion of a-grade sperm，normal sperm morphology，α-glucosidase， and linear sperm motility in the observation group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.05）. Moreover， the sperm DNA fragmentation index and the TCM syndrome scores of spleen-kidney deficiency pattern in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.01）. No serious adverse reactions occurred in the two groups，and no abnormalities were found in the safety indicators after treatment. ConclusionJiuzi Huichun decoction combined with spleen-strengthening moxibustion can enhance sperm viability and sperm concentration. It can also improve the TCM-related symptoms of asthenospermia of spleen-kidney deficiency pattern and sperm morphology. Additionally， it can reduce the sperm DNA fragmentation index and regulate the level of seminal plasma bioenzyme in patients with male asthenospermia infertility of spleen-kidney deficiency pattern. Therefore， it is worthy of further promotion and application in clinical practice.

AIM: To provide references for the non-clinical evaluation of therapeutic targets or drugs for retinoblastoma, fluorescently labeled Y79 cells are injected into the vitreous body of BALB/c-nu mice to establish a retinoblastoma model, and the Melphalan treatment group is used as a positive control, which is verified by fluorescence imaging technology.METHODS: BALB/c-nu mice were intravitreous injected with GFP transfected Y79 cells(1.0×107 cell/mL, 3 μL)to establish the model. On the 27th day, the mice were randomly divided into model control group and different doses of Melphalan groups(1, 3, 10 μg/eye groups)according to the fluorescence value of in vivo imaging, with vitreous body single administrated and ocular symptoms observed daily. Slit-lamp examination was performed at 12, 20, 29, 35, 42, 48, 55, 76, and 83 d after modeling. In vivo imaging was performed on 12, 20, 27, 41, 48, 55, 62, 69, 76, and 83 d. At the last treatment, the eyeball, brain and cerebellum tissues were removed for histopathological examination.RESULTS: From the sixth day of modeling, cloud-like substances could be seen in the eyes of the animals, and the cloud-like substances occupied the whole eyeball of the mice in the model control group at the later stage, accompanied by irregular growth of blood vessels. After 27 days of modeling, the fluorescence value was detected in all the animals, and the fluorescence value continued to increase with the extension of modeling time. The fluorescence value of the tumor reached the peak after 69-83 days of modeling. Histological examination showed severe proliferation of intraocular tumor cells in the model control group, and tumor cells were observed in the brain of 1 model animal. In the 10 μg/eye Melphalan group, the fluorescence value was significantly decreased at 17 d after administration. The fluorescence value of the 3 μg/eye Melphalan group was significantly inhibited at 59 d after administration. No tumor cells were found in the brain tissue of animals in all Melphalan groups.CONCLUSION: After vitreous injection of Y79/pCDH-LUC-copGFP cells in BALB/c-nu mice, significant ocular lesions and proliferation of tumor cells were observed in the eyes. Meanwhile, Melphalan intervention significantly inhibited tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the mouse model of retinoblastoma was successfully constructed.

Background: s/Aims: Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS) is a common surgical procedure for pancreatic body cancer.However, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) utilizing the Warshaw technique (WT) in malignancies is generally not favored due to concerns about inadequate resection. This study aims to assess the feasibility and oncologic outcomes of employing SPDP with WT in pancreatic body cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis comparing 21 SPDP patients with 63 DPS patients matched by propensity score from January 2018 to November 2022. Clinical outcomes and follow-up data were analyzed using R. Results: Both groups exhibited similar demographic, intraoperative, and pathological characteristics, with the exception of a reduced number of total lymph nodes (p = 0.006) in the SPDP group. There were no significant differences in the rates of postoperative complications, recurrence, or metastasis. Local recurrence predominantly occurred in the central region as opposed to the spleen region.There were no cases of isolated recurrences in the splenic region. Median overall survival and recurrence-free survival times were 51.5 months for SPDP vs 30.5 months for DPS and 18.7 months vs 16.8 months, respectively (p > 0.05). The incidence of partial splenic infarction and left-side portal hypertension in the SPDP group was 28.6% (6/21) and 9.5% (2/21), respectively, without necessitating splenic abscess puncture, splenectomy, or causing bleeding from perigastric varices. Conclusions SPDP did not negatively impact local recurrence or survival rates in selected pancreatic body cancer patients. Further studies are necessary for validation.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous resection for initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 305 patients with initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. These patients were diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2016 to June 2020. Among them, 191 underwent simultaneous rectum and liver resection and 114 underwent staged resection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed at a 1∶1 ratio. Clinical data were compared and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted. Results After PSM, 85 patients were included in each group. General data showed no significant differences. Except for liver metastasis resection method, no statistical differences were found in primary tumor surgery approach, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, time to first flatus and defecation, 30-day mortality, and postoperative hospital stay between the simultaneous resection group and the staged resection group. The overall complication rate was higher in the simultaneous resection group (48.2% vs 29.4%, P＝0.04). Specifically, the grade Ⅱ complications were significantly higher (29.4% vs 14.1%, P＝0.016), but there’s no differences in severe complications (grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ). No statistically differences were observed in median progression-free survival (HR＝0.70, 95%CI 0.50-0.97, P＝0.103) and 5-year overall survival (HR＝0.95, 95%CI 0.63-1.44, P＝0.259). Conclusions Simultaneous resection demonstrates comparable safety and efficacy to staged resection for initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases.
