Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the ciliary artery-circulatory disorders for the supply of optic nerve head area before the sieve plate prozone and sieve plate district, result in the insufficient blood supply of the optic nerve head and ischemia hypoxia, edema. Clinical manifestations of the type with non-artery inflammatory neuropathy and artery inflammatory neuropathy, which would both eventually lead to the irreversible damage to the optic nerve. In the early phase of AION, the main method is giving a glucocorticoids intravenous drip and a periglomerular injection (or retrobulbar injection) in time, but using the glucocorticoids for a long time or in quantity can cause a series of complications. Therefore, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment of AION has become more and more significant in clinic.

Objective:To compare the postoperative tunnel enlargement and clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the all-inside technique with the traditional outside-in graft introduction technique.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 patients with ACL injuries who were admitted to the First Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between December 2021 and July 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups based on the surgical approach used for ACL reconstruction. There were 25 cases in the all-inside group, 18 males and 7 females, aged 27.72±7.33 years, 17 cases on the left side and 8 cases on the right side; 22 cases in the traditional group, 11 males and 11 females, aged 27.82±7.12 years, 11 cases on the left side and 11 cases on the right side. Clinical parameters including the length of hospital stay, surgical duration, pain levels assessed via the visual analogue scale (VAS), Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, and Tegner score were recorded and compared between the two groups. Additionally, femoral and tibial tunnel enlargement was evaluated using postoperative CT scans conducted one year after surgery.Results:All patients were followed up for 15.64±2.04 months (range, 12-21 months). The mean operation time was 178.60±42.90 min in the all-inside group and 133.60±28.77 min in the traditional group, indicating a statistically significant longer operation time in the all-inside group ( P<0.05). On postoperative days 1 and 15, the VAS scores were lower in the all-inside group (7.08±1.29 and 5.56±1.33 points) compared to the conventional group (7.96±1.29 and 6.32±1.13 points), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). However, the differences in VAS scores between the two groups at postoperative months 1, 6, and 12 were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The preoperative Lysholm, IKDC, and Tegner scores in the all-inside group and the conventional group were 34.00±18.63, 36.24±15.01, 1.20±1.12 points and 36.18±13.64, 38.23±14.94, 1.55±1.14 points, respectively, and at 6 months after surgery, respectively were 72.60±13.95, 74.12±12.03, 3.56±1.05 points, and 68.41±10.80, 66.59±17.93, 3.23±1.15 points, and at 12 months postoperatively were 92.32±5.23, 81.40±7.24, 5.28±1.62 points and 91.27±6.32, 82.18±7.26, 4.96±1.25 points. Both groups improved at 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperatively ( P<0.05), and further improved at 12 months postoperatively compared with 6 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), but the differences in each functional score between the two groups were not statistically significant at all time points ( P>0.05). At 1 year postoperatively, the values of femoral and tibial tunnel enlargement in the all-inside group (1.78±1.03 mm, 1.18±0.97 mm) were smaller than those in the conventional group (2.30±1.33 mm, 1.83±1.00 mm), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference between the femoral side tunnel enlargement and tibial side enlargement in the traditional group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05), while the femoral side enlargement in the all-inside group was significantly larger than the tibial side ( P<0.05). The difference in Lysholm, IKDC and Tegner scores between grade 0 and grade 1 tunnel enlargement on the femoral side and tibial side was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The short-term clinical outcomes following ACL reconstruction using the all-inside technique versus the traditional tunnel technique were comparable. However, early postoperative pain was less severe with the all-inside technique, and tunnel enlargement was smaller. The degree of bone tunnel enlargement did not significantly impact early clinical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the potential effect of hyperopia status on subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in silicone oil (SO)-filled eyes.Methods:This self-comparative study was conducted in Department of Ophthalmology, Central Theater Command General Hospital. The 50 patients (100 eyes) were collected with unilateral macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment from January 2019 to July 2019, who successfully underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and SO tamponade. Retinal reattachment was observed after surgery in all patients. One month after PPV, the affected eye was wore soft, contact lenses for 24 hours to correct refractive error (RE), depending on its optometry value. The SFCT of the affected eyes was measured using OCT before and after lenses wear. The fellow eyes also received OCT examination at the same time. T test was used to compare SFCT between SO-filled eyes and fellow eyes.Results:The mean RE of the SO-filled eyes was +6.38±1.12 D. The mean SFCT of SO-filled eyes (247.12±17.63 μm) was significantly thinner than that of the fellow eyes (276.32.55±17.63 μm) ( P<0.001). The SFCT of the SO-filled eyes was significantly thinner than fellow eyes, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.95, P<0.001). After lenses wear, the mean SFCT of the SO-filled eyes increased to 276.32±24.86 μm. Compared with before lenses wear, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-4.30, P<0.001). Compared with the fellow eye, the difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.05, P>0.05). Conclusion:SFCT reduction in the SO-filled eyes may be due to the hyperopia status caused by SO, which can be reserved by RE correction.

Objective:To explore the current situation of clinical nurses' disaster nursing ability and its influencing factors, and to provide basis for carrying out clinical nurses' disaster nursing education and training.Methods:By convenient sampling method, 322 clinical nurses from Peking University Shenzhen Hospital in September 2020 were selected. The disaster nursing ability assessment tool and general information questionnaire were used to conduct a questionnaire survey to analyze the current situation of clinical nurses' disaster nursing ability and its main influencing factors.Results:The total score of disaster nursing ability of clinical nurses was (199.07±34.31) points, which was at the middle and lower level; the scores of each dimension from high to low were as follows: disaster preparedness score was (72.94±12.89) points, coping ability score was (80.00±13.82) points, disaster reduction/prevention capability score was (28.19±6.09) points, recovery/reconstruction ability score was (17.94±3.27) points. Regression analysis showed that the highest degree, clinical department, whether they have autonomously studied disaster nursing related courses after work, and whether they have participated in disaster rescue after work were the main influencing factors of clinical nurses' disaster nursing ability ( t values were -4.715-5.508, P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall level of disaster nursing ability of clinical nurses is at the middle and lower level. It should be combined with clinical nurses' work department, whether clinical nurses have disaster rescue experience and whether they have independently studied disaster nursing related courses, and targeted disaster nursing related training should be carried out to improve their disaster nursing knowledge and skill.

The regulator of expression of virion(Rev)protein binds specifically to the Rev-responsive element(RRE)RNA in order to regulate the expression of the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-1 genes.Fluores-cence indicator displacement assays have been used to identify ligands that can inhibit the Rev-RRE interaction;however,the small fluorescence indicators cannot fully replace the Rev peptide or protein.As a result,a single rhodamine B labeled Rev(RB-Rev)model peptide was utilized in this study to develop a direct and efficient Rev-RRE inhibitor screening model.Due to photon-induced electron transfer quenching of the tryptophan residue on the RB fluorophore,the fluorescence of RB in Rev was weakened and could be dramatically reactivated by interaction with RRE RNA in ammonium acetate buffer(approximately six times).The interaction could reduce the electron transfer between tryptophan and RB,and RRE could also increase RB fluorescence.The inhibitor screening model was evaluated using three known positive Rev-RRE inhibitors,namely,proflavin,6-chloro-9-[3-(2-chloroethylamino)pro-pylamino]-2-methoxyacridine(ICR 191),and neomycin,as well as a negative drug,arginine.With the addition of the positive drugs,the fluorescence of the Rev-RRE decreased,indicating the displacement of RB-Rev.This was confirmed using atomic force microscopy(AFM)and the fluorescence was essentially unaffected by the addition of arginine.The results demonstrated that RB-Rev can be used as a fluorescent probe for recognizing small ligands that target RRE RNA.The Rev-RRE inhibitor screening model offers a novel approach to evaluating and identifying long-acting Rev inhibitors.
