Late intraocular lens dislocation is one of the most severe late complications after phacoemulsification.It often occurs 3mo after the surgery.Different from early intraocular lens dislocation, late intraocular lens dislocation is caused by zonular dehiscence and contraction of the capsular bag many years after phacoemulsification.In recent years, the incidence of late intraocular lens dislocation gradually increases, having a risk of 0.1% after 10a and 1.7% after 25a.In the long-term follow-up patients who underwent cataract surgery, 90% had zonular insufficiency and capsular contraction.Among the multiple factors which may contribute to zonular weakness and capsular contraction, pseudoexfoliation is the most common cause, accounting for 50% of all the cases.Other risk factors include aging, high myopia, uveitis, trauma, previous vitreoretinal surgery, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetes mellitus, atopic dermatitis, previous acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, and connective tissue disorders.The understanding of these predisposing factors will suggest necessary preventions for high-risk patients in the future.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic push?radial dissection (EPRD)for benign esophageal stricture(BES). Methods Clinical data of 24 patients diagnosed as having BES who received EPRD were analyzed. The procedure and efficacy were evaluated. Results All 24 patients underwent EPRD successfully with mean operation time being 32 min(15?45 min).The mean esophageal stric?ture incision length was 3?? 2 cm (1?? 0?8?? 0 cm).No severe complications related to EPRD occurred, or trans?ferred for surgery. Patients were followed up for 1?5 months (mean 2?? 8 months). Dysphagia was relieved signif?icantly during the follow?up in 23 patients where endoscopy could go through smoothly. But dysphagia re?oc?curred in one patient 2 weeks after the operation, who underwent a second EPRD and stent implantation, then dysphagia was relieved. Conclusion EPRD is safe, feasible and effective for benign esophageal stricture.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy of Tongfu Mixture (TM) for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).
METHODSTotally 54 PEP patients were randomly assigned to the control group (treated by routine therapy, 26 cases) and the TM treatment group (treated by TM, 28 cases). Clinical indices including the alleviation time of abdominal pain/distention, gastrointestinal function recovery time, and the post-surgical length of stay were observed. Blood amylase (AMY), C-reactive protein (CRP), plasma endotoxin (PLS), TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were detected before surgery, 12 h, 48 h, and 96 h after surgery.
RESULTSThe alleviation time of abdominal pain/distention, the gastrointestinal function recovery time, and the post-surgical length of stay were obviously shorter in the TM treatment group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The recovery of AMY and CRP were better in the TM treatment group than in the control group at post-operative 48 h and 96 h (P < 0.05). The levels of LPS, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were lower in the TM group than in the control group at post-operative 96 h (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONTM showed better clinical efficacy and could significantly decrease the post-surgical length of stay. post-ERCP pancreatitis; integrative medicine; Tongfu Mixture

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy in different occupational populations in a medical college community. METHODS: A total of 719 pregnant women in a medical college community were selected by convenient sampling method and divided into medical staff group(218 women) and non-medical staff group(501 women, including 138 teaching staff subgroup, 129 administrative service staff subgroup and 234 other occupation subgroup). The detection rate of high-risk factors and adverse outcomes of pregnancy were compared among these groups. RESULTS: Among the study subjects with the top five detection rates, high-risk factors of pregnancy were abnormal body mass index, advanced age, diabetes mellitus, scarred uterus and abnormal thyroid function, with the detection rate of 21.4%, 17.5%, 9.7%, 7.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors≥two, adverse pregnancy outcome, adverse fetal outcome, miscarriage and low birth weight in the medical group were significantly lower than those in the non-medical staff group(all P<0.05). The detection rates of pregnancy risk factors, primary screening risk factors, scarred uterus and pregnancy anemia in the teaching staff subgroup were significantly higher than those in the other occupation subgroups(all P<0.008). The detection rates of pregnancy high-risk factors ≥two and advanced age in the teaching staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). The detection rates of adverse pregnancy outcome and miscarriage in the administrative service staff subgroup were higher than those in medical staff group(all P<0.008). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that occupation, advanced age, parity and scarred uterus were the main influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: There are differences in pregnancy high-risk factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes among different occupational groups. The teaching staff subgroup has a relatively higher detection rate of pregnancy high-risk factors, and the adverse pregnancy outcomes and miscarriage were relatively higher in the administrative service staff subgroup, compared with the medical staff group.
6.Research Advances on Childhood and Adolescent Vaccinations and Seizures
Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2023;44(4):570-575
Vaccination for children and adolescents is an effective strategy for preventing and controlling infectious diseases. However, clinical reports showed that vaccination may be associated with epilepsy or seizures, potentially increasing public hesitancy about vaccination, and affecting vaccination coverage. At present, no evidence showed that vaccination could damage the nervous system and cause epilepsy or seizures. In this review, we explore the association of multiple vaccinations in children and adolescents with epilepsy or seizures, and further understand the safety of vaccination, thereby improving vaccine coverage in China.

Objective:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumor worldwide. Metastasis is a marker of cancer deterioration in patients with liver cancer and a major cause of death. In order to develop effective therapeutic strategies, it is urgent to study the molecular basis of liver cancer metastasis.
Methods:
Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN) in HCC. Wound healing and transwell cell invasion assays was used to confirm the role of FASN in liver cancer migration and invasion. Proteins that interacted with FASN were identified using iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification). Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and cellular immunofluorescence analysis were used to assess the interaction between FASN and signal transduction and transcription activator 3 (STAT3). The expression of STAT3, p-STAT3, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 was detected after FASN knockdown using Western blot method. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test.
Results:
Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of FASN in HCC tissue was higher than that in adjacent tissues. iTRAQ, Co-IP and immunofluorescence analysis revealed that FASN interacted with STAT3. Western blot analysis showed that the expression of p-STAT3, MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased after FASN knockdown.
Conclusion
FASN may promote the metastasis of liver cancer by interacting with STAT3 and affecting the expression of MMP-2/MMP-9.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for death in patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods:The clinical data of 141 cases of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from February 1 to February 26, 2020 were included in this retrospective analysis. The gender, age, time of hospitalization after the onset, clinical manifestations, underlying diseases, laboratory examination indicators (inculding white blood cell counts, neutrophil counts, lymphocyte counts, lymphocyte subsets, immunoglobulin, complement 3, complement 4, D-dimer, fibrinogen), and short term prognosis were compared between the death group and the survival group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the death of COVID-19 patients. The t test, Mann Whitney U test or chi-square test were used for comparison between groups. Results:Of the 141 COVID-19 patients, 52 died and 89 survived. The age, hypertension, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, fever and wheeze of patients in the death group were all higher than those in the survival group, which were (70.7±13.3) years old vs (50.4±15.3) years old, 51.9%(27/52) vs 14.6%(13/89), 15.4%(8/52) vs 4.5%(4/89), 30.8%(16/52) vs 7.9%(7/89), 80.8%(42/52) vs 61.8%(55/89) and 50.0%(26/52) vs 25.8%(23/89), respectively. The differences were all statistically significant ( t=7.972, χ2=22.104, 3.615, 12.392, 5.503 and 8.447, respectively, all P<0.05). The white blood cell count, neutrophil count, CD4 + /CD8 + T lymphocyte, immunoglobulin E, D-dimer, fibrinogen, CD19 + T lymphocyte proportion and CD19 + T lymphocyte count of patients in the death group were all higher than those in the survival group, which were 8.20(5.26, 13.01)×10 9/L vs 5.29(3.96, 7.04)×10 9/L, 7.40(4.54, 11.46)×10 9/L vs 3.16(2.20, 5.01)×10 9/L, 2.32(1.77, 3.11) vs 1.63(1.25, 2.08), 125.0(42.6, 275.0) IU/mL vs 66.8(38.3, 143.0) IU/mL, 7.27(2.11, 16.21) mg/L vs 0.95(0.38, 2.54) mg/L, 4.37(2.72, 6.78) g/L vs 4.10(2.78, 4.97) g/L, (23.19±13.43)% vs (15.38±6.38)%, and (181.5±115.4)/μL vs (98.89±77.64)/μL, respectively. The differences were all statistically significant ( Z=3.944, 4.210, 2.834, 1.190, 5.497, 1.180, t=3.987, 3.411, respectively, all P<0.05). The lymphocyte count, CD3 + T lymphocyte proportion, CD3 + T lymphocyte count, CD8 + T lymphocyte proportion, CD8 + T lymphocyte count, CD16 + CD56 + T lymphocyte count and CD4 + T lymphocyte count were all lower than those in survival group, which were 0.47(0.37, 0.96)×10 9/L vs 1.33(0.90, 1.55)×10 9/L, 48.72%(42.31%, 76.92%) vs 69.91%(65.05%, 75.36%), 223.0(100.0, 403.0)/μL vs 761.0(499.0, 1 092.0)/μL, 13.82%(10.32%, 19.82%) vs 24.90%(20.87%, 29.57%), 55.5(30.5, 106.0)/μL vs 318.0(162.5, 443.5)/μL, 63.0(29.0, 99.5)/μL vs 140.0(69.5, 195.5)/μL and (209.74±140.13)/μL vs (487.61±232.02)/μL, respectively. The differences were all statistically significant ( Z=6.937, 3.944, 5.883, 3.924, 5.703, 3.517 and t=7.558, respectively, all P<0.01). Age, history of hypertension, white blood cell count, D-dimer, and fibrinogen were the risk factors for death of COVID-19 (odds ratio ( OR)=1.170, 10.405, 3.055, 1.128 and 1.343, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, underlying hypertension, white blood cell count, D-dimer and fibrinogen are independent prognostic factors for COVID-19.
