In this study, we prepared various matrices of hydrogel patches and studied their cross-linking mechanism by observing their rheological properties, which could provide theoretical basis and deep technical support for further industrial development of hydrogel patch. Rheology method was used to do the amplitude scanning and single-frequency scanning for various hydrogel matrix, under the condition of oscillation mode of the rheometer. Then the linear viscoelastic region, composite modulus value, as well as changes in slope with time of the composite modulus and phase angle of various hydrogel matrix were analyzed in detail. The results showed that the stability of matrix was mainly determined by hydrogel frame; only in acidic environment, the cross-linking reaction between cross-linker and hydrogel frame can occur; elasticity of matrix can be decreased by organic acid and the effect level was related to the ratio of the number of carboxyl and hydroxyl (-COO(-)/-OH) in adjusters: if the ratio was not equal, the higher -COO(-)/-OH in adjusters would be the less elasticity of matrix decreased; the cross-linking speed of matrix was determined by adjuster, the cross-linking speed of matrix contain different adjusters was ranged in following order: matrix containing tartaric acid > matrix containing lactic acid > matrix containing malic acid > matrix containing citric acid; the cross-linking speed of matrix was not uniform in the whole cross-linking process.

Objective To investigate the application value of early lactate clearance rate and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning encephalopathy.Methods One hundred and forty-six patients with acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning were divided into control group (60 cases) and case group (86 cases) according to the occurrence of toxic encephalopathy.All the patients were extracting 1 ml arterial blood under the condition of air before treatment and 6,24,72 h after treatment,arterial blood lactic acid level was detected,and the lactate clearance rate was calculated.The initial level of blood lactic acid,lactic acid clearance rate and APACHE Ⅱ score 6,24,72 h after treatment,complication rate and mortality rate were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with control group,the initial level of blood lactic acid in case group was higher [(3.30 ± 0.55) mmol/L vs.(2.64 ± 0.24) mmol/L],the lactate clearance rate 6,24 h after treatment was lower [(8.22 ± 1.20)％ vs.(12.83 ± 5.31)％,(12.00 ± 2.40)％ vs.(15.17 ± 2.99)％],the APACHE Ⅱ score 6,24,72 h after treatment was higher [(16.78 ±2.82) scores vs.(12.33 ±2.16) scores,(14.11 ± 1.54) scores vs.(10.17 ±0.98) scores,(10.56 ± 1.51) scores vs.(7.83 ± 1.17) scores],the complication rate and mortality rate were higher,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference in lactate clearance rate 72 h after treatment between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).In acute carbon monoxide poisoning encephalopathy patients,the lactate clearance rate 6 h after treatment was negatively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score and mortality rate (r =-0.616,P =0.015;r =-0.606,P =0.017).Conclusion Early lactate clearance rate and APACHE Ⅱ score can help to assessment the severity,guide treatment and judging prognosis in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning encephalopathy.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effect of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3 (TRPC3) on the retina in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice and biological behavior of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HREC).Methods:A total of 32 healthy SPF grade 7-day-old C57BL/6 mice were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an OIR group by the random number table method, with 16 mice in each group.The control group received no special treatment, and the OIR model was established in the OIR group.On postnatal day 17 (PN17), the success of the model establishment was verified by immunofluorescence staining of the retinal patch.The in vitro cultured HREC were divided into a normal control group, a transfection reagent group, and a si-TRPC3 group.The normal control group received no special treatment, while the transfection reagent group and the si-TRPC3 group were transfected with transfection reagent or transfection reagent + si-TRPC3.The relative expression of TRPC3 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR.The relative expressions of TRPC3, transcription factor NF-E2 related factor (Nrf2), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) proteins were determined by Western blot.HREC were further divided into a normal control group, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) group, a si-TRPC3 group, and a Pyr3 (TRPC3 channel inhibitor) group, which were cultured in complete medium, medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein, medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein (si-TRPC3 transfection for 72 hours), and medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein+ 1 μmol/L Pyr3 for 48 hours, respectively.The proliferation ability of HREC was detected using cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8). The horizontal and vertical migration ability of cells were detected by cell scratch assay and transwell assay, respectively.This study followed the 3R principles of animal welfare and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hebei Eye Hospital (No.2023LW04). Results:Pathological neovascular clusters with strong fluorescent staining appeared in the retina of OIR mice on PN17.The relative expressions of TRPC3 mRNA and protein in the retina of OIR mice were 2.057±0.244 and 1.517±0.290, respectively, significantly higher than 0.983±0.033 and 0.874±0.052 of control group ( t=6.165, 3.094; both at P<0.05). The relative expression levels of TRPC3 mRNA and protein were significantly lower, and the relative expression levels of Nrf2 and SOD proteins were higher in the si-TRPC3 group than in the normal control and transfection reagent groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The CCK-8 experiment results showed that the cell absorbance value was higher in the VEGF group than in the normal control group, and lower in the si-TRPC3 and Pyr3 groups than in the VEGF group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). The results of the cell scratch experiment showed that the lateral migration rate of VEGF group cells was higher than that of normal control group, while the lateral migration rate of si-TRPC3 group and Pyr3 group cells was lower than that of VEGF group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The transwell experiment results showed that the number of stained cells in the VEGF group was higher than that in the normal control group, and the number of stained cells in the si-TRPC3 group and Pyr3 group was lower than that in the VEGF group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Hypoxia induces increased TRPC3 expression in OIR mouse retina, and downregulation of TRPC3 inhibits HREC proliferation and migration.The mechanism is related to the activation of the Nrf2-related oxidative stress pathway.

Background: The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing worldwide, and anemia, one of the most prevalent extraintestinal manifestations of IBD, is still often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Aims: To analyze the correlations of clinical factors with anemia in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in 60 cases of UC admitted from September 2019 to May 2020 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Sixty healthy subjects were served as controls. Data of fasting venous blood sample analysis on admission were collected, and the correlations of indicators for anemia with the clinical factors were analyzed. Results: The indicators for anemia, including red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) etc. were significantly decreased in UC patients than in healthy controls (all P<0.05). RBC was lower in females than in males (P<0.05); RBC and HCT were lower in patients with pancolitis than in those with proctitis or left hemi-colon colitis (all P<0.05); RBC, Hb and HCT were lower in severe active UC than in mild active UC (all P<0.05). RBC, Hb, HCT and MCH were negatively correlated with two disease activity indicators for IBD, C-reactive protein (CRP) and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Gender, as well as the disease extent, activity and severity are important clinical factors for anemia in patients with UC.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of short non-coding RNAs consisting of about 22 nucleotides that downregulate gene expression at posttranscriptional level through binding to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of target mRNAs. With the increase in research about miRNAs, it is found that miRNAs could modulate the differentiation and secretion of immunocytes as well as the function of intestinal mucosal barrier. Besides, miRNAs could regulate the composition of intestinal microbiome, and could be used as crucial biomarkers for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this paper, the roles of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of IBD were reviewed through intestinal immunity and barrier function.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of short-term topical administration of atropine eye drops with various concentrations and frequencies on eye safety in children.Methods:A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted.Sevevty-two children with ametropia or pre-myopia (72 eyes) were enrolled in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from December 2020 to January 2022.The subjects were randomly divided into 0.01% atropine group, 0.02% atropine group and 0.04% atropine group according to a random number table, with 24 cases (24 eyes) in each group.Automatic refraction with an automatic computer optometry device, subjective refraction with a phoropter, intraocular pressure with a non-contact tonometer, axial length by optical biometrics, the amplitude of accommodation (AMP) by the push-up method, pupil diameter with pupilometer, near visual acuity at 33 cm with a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, tear evaluation with Keratograph 5M and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire survey were performed among all subjects.One drop of 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.04% atropine was administrated to the study eye according to grouping, and the pupil diameter was measured every 10 minutes until the pupil did not enlarge three times, then the data after a single treatment of the three groups were recorded.After one-week application of the corresponding concentration of atropine eye drops once at night, the data after one-week treatment were recorded.For the next week, the application frequency of 0.01% and 0.02% atropine groups changed to once daily in the morning and evening, and 0.04% atropine group maintained once at night, then the data after two-week treatment were recorded.Data of the right eyes were analyzed.The changes in pupil diameter, AMP and other eye parameters before and after atropine eye drops of the three groups were compared.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2020KY[L]-51). All subjects and their guardians were fully informed of the method and purpose of this study before entering the cohort.Written informed consent was obtained from guardians.Results:Pupil diameters of 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.04% atropine groups were (5.59±0.48), (5.35±0.76) and (5.65±0.43)mm before treatment respectively, (7.00±0.68), (7.17±0.58) and (8.40±1.71)mm after a single treatment, (6.67±0.62), (6.56±0.65) and (7.60±0.69)mm after one-week treatment, (6.96±0.49), (7.04±0.53) and (7.60±0.36)mm after two-week treatment.There were significant differences in pupil diameter at different time points after treatment among the three groups ( Fgroup=9.430, P<0.001; Ftime=156.620, P<0.001). The AMP of 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.04% atropine groups were (12.94±3.02), (13.25±2.81) and (13.42±2.60)D before treatment respectively, (11.62±2.61), (11.53±2.06) and (9.64±1.93)D after a single treatment, (11.14±2.61), (11.33±2.33) and (8.30±1.18)D after one-week treatment, (9.99±1.81), (8.72±1.25) and (8.76±2.12)D after two-week treatment.There was no significant difference in the AMP among the three groups ( Fgroup=2.800, P=0.063). In the three groups, the AMP at different time points after treatment were significantly lower than that before treatment ( Ftime=61.400, P<0.001). There was no difference in spherical equivalent refraction, intraocular pressure, near visual acuity, axial length, first none-invasive tear break-up time, average none-invasive tear break-up time, tear meniscus height and OSDI score among the three groups ( Fgroup=0.030, 0.630, 1.420, 0.580, 0.140, 0.120, 0.340, 0.142; all at P>0.05). There were significant differences in spherical equivalent refraction, intraocular pressure, first none-invasive tear break-up time, average none-invasive tear break-up time, tear meniscus height and OSDI score at different time points between before and after medication among the three groups ( Ftime=12.560, 4.730, 4.720, 5.220, 3.720; all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Varying pupil dilation and AMP reduction occur after the use of different concentrations of atropine and are more severe at higher concentrations.Increased administration frequency of atropine is associated with more pupil dilation and AMP reduction, but there is no intolerable adverse effect.
