AIM: To compare the efficacy of simple autologous blood coverage with ILM flap tamponade combined with autologous blood coverage after pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)with internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling in treating macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD)of high myopia patients with moderately long axial length.METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 45 patients(45 eyes)with high myopia and MHRD, and axial lengths of 26-29 mm treated at our institution between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on surgical technique: group A(24 eyes)underwent PPV with ILM peeling, ILM flap tamponade, autologous blood coverage, and silicone oil injection; group B(21 eyes)received PPV with ILM peeling followed by autologous blood coverage and silicone oil injection. Intraocular pressure, best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), retinal reattachment and macular hole closure status were compared at 1 wk, 1, 3, and 6 mo postoperatively. Silicone oil removal was performed at 6 mo postoperatively, with additional 2-month follow-up.RESULTS:At 8-month postoperative follow-up, both groups achieved complete retinal reattachment. Macular hole closure rates showed no significant intergroup difference(88% vs 86%, P=0.860). Significant improvement in BCVA was observed in both groups compared to preoperative values, with the group B demonstrating better visual outcomes than the group A(P<0.001). Transient parafoveal subretinal fluid persistence was noted in 2 eyes of the group A(resolved spontaneously at 5 and 8 mo post-PPV, respectively), and 1 eye of the group B(resolved by 4 mo post-PPV). Serial optical coherence tomography(OCT)monitoring revealed no macular hole reopening, with complete subretinal fluid resolution confirmed in all cases at final follow-up.CONCLUSION:For high myopic MHRD patients with moderately long axial length, both surgical approaches effectively promote macular hole closure and retinal reattachment. However, the autologous blood coverage technique demonstrates better BCVA than the combined ILM tamponade.

County medical community serves as pivotal instruments for the hierarchical diagnostic and treatment system. Since their nationwide implementation in December 2023, there has been a pressing demand for governance theories to direct practical applications. Based on polycentric-collaborative governance theory, this study articulated a framework that modeled county medical community as accountable care organizations, anchored by a foundation of primary health care and a polycentric-collaborative governance structure. The framework encompassed critical dimensions, including problem orientation, diverse governance actors, multi-dimensional governance mechanisms, governance objectives, and evaluative metrics. This research also introduced 17 governance instruments, delineated 13 priority action fields, and pinpointed 5 potential reform areas, with a pronounced focus on bolstering governance capacity through value-based payment reforms and technological underpinnings of digital innovation. The framework′s viability and efficacy have been substantiated through a case study in Zhejiang Province. The framework presented herein could offer a comprehensive and systematic guide for county medical community practice, capturing the essence of the reform through a problem-oriented lens, fostering multi-actor involvement, and ensuring the harmonization of multi-dimensional governance mechanisms, thereby fortifying the reform′s systematic, integrative, and collaborative attributes.

Objective To review the research of safe injection protocols for peripheral norepinephrine(pNE),to make clear the main contents of safe injection protocols and the compliance of clinical implementation protocols,and to provide reference for clinical nurses to use drugs safely.Methods Systematic searches were conducted in the PubMed database,the Embase database from the Netherlands,the Web of Science,the Cochrane library,CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP,and the China biomedical literature database for studies related to safe injection protocols for pNE.The search period extended from the establishment of the databases to April 30,2024.Two researchers conducted data extraction and summary analysis of the included literature.Results A total of 10 articles were incorporated,including 2 guidelines,4 observational retrospective cohort studies,2 observational prospective cohort studies,2 ambispective cohort study.All documents provide a complete safe injection scheme of pNE,and its main contents were as follows:the drug concentration should be diluted to 8～64 mg/L;the injection dose should be small,and the maximum dose should not exceed 0.5 μg·kg-1·min-1 or 25 μg/min;a short infusion time was appropriate,among which 4 schemes require≤24 hours;intravenous catheters should be large-bore models,mainly 16,18 and 20 G;selection of infusion sites with favorable venous conditions of upper limb should be selected for injection;during infusion,regular and effective monitoring was required,and the frequency of monitoring should be once an hour,not exceeding a maximum of 2 hours;observation of the puncture site,and must assess whether there was blood return to the venous pathway,develop an emergency plan for drug extravasation.Several studies provided the compliance analysis of the protocol.The items with the highest compliance were using the drug concentration specified in the protocol,with the highest implementation rate of 100.0%.The items with low compliance were:using ultrasonic catheterization or evaluation,with minimum 26.6%;monitor according to the specified time frequency,with a minimum of 36.0%;selection of infusion sites,with a minimum of 65.0%.Conclusion The pNE is safe and feasible in emergency situations,but it comes with numerous risks and limitations.Norepinephrine(NE)should be administered at low concentrations and small doses,using large-caliber venous indwelling needles,and choosing optimal injection sites.Ultrasound assessment and localization can be used if conditions permit.Short-term infusion is preferred,and effective monitoring should be conducted at regular intervals during the infusion.Emergency plans for drug extravasation should be established.Developing safe injection protocols can reduce the incidence of adverse events such as extravasation.

A porous composite scaffold is prepared through freeze-drying method using sodium alginate as the matrix and calcium citrate double salt as the functional enhancer.To thoroughly investigate the structure and properties of the composite scaffold,advanced instruments including Fourier transform infrared spectrometer,X-ray diffractometer,scanning electron microscope,and thermogravimetric analyzer are utilized for comprehensive structural characterization.Meanwhile,key properties such as porosity,mechanical performance,swelling ratio,gel fraction,and in vitro degradation rate are systematically tested and analyzed.The results show that the composite of sodium alginate and calcium citrate double salt is a physical complex.The porosity of the scaffold mainly ranges from 200 to 600 μm,and as the addition of double salt increases,the pore size firstly increases and then slightly decreases,while the pore distribution become more uneven.In terms of mechanical properties,with the gradual increase of the content of double salt in the scaffold,the mechanical properties of the scaffold are significantly improved.However,its swelling ratio and gel fraction exhibit decreasing trends.Additionally,the degradation rate of the alginate scaffold is relatively fast,while the addition of calcium citrate double salt does not significantly improve the degradation rate.This study not only provides valuable insights into the preparation and property research of porous composite scaffold composed of sodium alginate/calcium citrate double salt,but also offers important reference for their potential applications in biomedicine.

Objective:To study the current status of longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) and to develop a prediction model based on clinical data from multiple NICUs.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, EPIs admitted to 32 NICUs in North China were retrospectively studied. Their general conditions, nutritional support, complications during hospitalization and weight changes were reviewed. Weight loss between birth and discharge > 1SD was defined as longitudinal EUGR. The EPIs were assigned into longitudinal EUGR group and non-EUGR group and their nutritional support and weight changes were compared. The EPIs were randomly assigned into the training dataset and the validation dataset with a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the training dataset to select the independent predictive factors. The best-fitting Nomogram model predicting longitudinal EUGR was established based on Akaike Information Criterion. The model was evaluated for discrimination efficacy, calibration and clinical decision curve analysis.Results:A total of 436 EPIs were included in this study, with a mean gestational age of (26.9±0.9) weeks and a birth weight of (989±171) g. The incidence of longitudinal EUGR was 82.3%(359/436). Seven variables (birth weight Z-score, weight loss, weight growth velocity, the proportion of breast milk ≥75% within 3 d before discharge, invasive mechanical ventilation ≥7 d, maternal antenatal corticosteroids use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia) were selected to establish the prediction model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the training dataset and the validation dataset were 0.870 (95% CI 0.820-0.920) and 0.879 (95% CI 0.815-0.942), suggesting good discrimination efficacy. The calibration curve indicated a good fit of the model ( P>0.05). The decision curve analysis showed positive net benefits at all thresholds. Conclusions:Currently, EPIs have a high incidence of longitudinal EUGR. The prediction model is helpful for early identification and intervention for EPIs with higher risks of longitudinal EUGR. It is necessary to expand the sample size and conduct prospective studies to optimize and validate the prediction model in the future.

Objective Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES)-evoked kinesthetic information in muscle spindle can be purely extracted from the mixed motor and sensory afferents using Ischemic nerve block(INB).This study aims to investigate the somatosensory cortical response evoked by NMES activating muscle spindle afferents in forearm.Methods All subjects performed four experimental tasks designed according to a 2×2 factors,including one factor of the INB state(without INB and within INB)and the other of the stimulation intensity(above and below motor threshold).During the experiment,we recorded EEG data with 64 channels and then beta event-related desynchronization(Beta ERD)were utilized quantize somatosensory cortical excitability evoked by the tasks.The subjective perception about the sensation and movement of the right hand were evaluated by a psychophysical test after the right wrist was performed by INB.Results INB significantly reduced beta ERD on the contralateral somatosensory cortex evoked by NMES above the motor threshold,and there was significant difference of NMES-evoked beta ERD values on the contralateral somatosensory cortex between above and below motor threshold.Meanwhile,contralateral dominance of NMES-evoked beta ERD on the somatosensory cortex was transferred to ipsilateral hemisphere under INB.Conclusion INB can significantly reduce NMES-evoked somatosensory cortical response above motor threshold and decrease cortical perception on the stimulus intensity,which may be due to INB resulting in rapid functional reorganization of somatosensory cortex.
