Histological classification system ( HCS) is an important system in judging and predicting ma-lignant behaviors of breast cancer .This study is aimed to analyze research progress and development direction of HCS by perusing literatures ,including the origin and development progress of HCS ,contents and deficiencies of Nottingham classification system(NCS),and introduction of novel classification system .HCS of breast cancer has a history of more than one hundred years ,among which NCS is the most widely used ,based on morphological fea-tures of cancer cells .However,there are still some shortcomings about NCS ,such as few indexes incorporation , great evaluation variation and low evaluation efficiency .Recently ,many newly evaluation systems have been devel-oped,including“nucleus+proliferation”classification system ,computer assisted classification system and compre-hensive prognostic classification model .Therefore,the future development directions of HCS on breast cancer is to use high throughput analysis technology to extract and analyze the hidden molecular information in cancer cells and the surrounding tumor microenvironment ,so as to better guide personalized therapy and predict clinical prog-nosis.

Objective:The aim is to establish L-glutamate specific aminotransferase-L-glutamate dehydrogenase coupling 96-well high throughput screening method,which is applied to molecular evolution of aminotransferase WecE from E.coli.Methods:An optical assay for aminotransferase catalytic activity based on aminotransferase-glutamate dehydrogenase coupling system is established by optimization of coupling enzyme loading,signal molecule NADH concentration and coupling time.Mutants library of WecE is obtained by sitedirected saturation mutagenesis.Positive mutants can be screened out through 96-well preliminary screening and flask second screening.Results:The target transamination reaction is coupled with L-glutamate dehydrogenase indicative reaction system which consists of 0.5 U/ml enzyme loading and 0.4 mmol/L NADH.A positive mutant Y321F whose catalytic activity increases 3.4 fold compared to that of wild type is screened out in Tyr 321 saturation mutagenesis library of WecE.Conclusion:An accurate high throughput screening method with weak background interference is established.It offers feasible solution for molecular evolution of L-glutamate specific aminotransferase.

Objective To discuss the detection rate of the arc of Bühler(AOB)in CTA and DSA examinations and its clinical significance.Methods A computerized retrieval of academic papers concerning AOB from the databases of PubMed,Web of Science,Scopus,Embase,Google Scholar,CBM,CNKI,WanFang,VIP and Baidu Scholar was conducted.Stata 17.0 software was used to make meta-analysis.Results A total of 11 articles including 3 837 subjects and 65 AOB cases were included in this analysis.The pooled prevalence of AOB was 1.9%(0.8%-3.2%).CTA showed a pooled prevalence of AOB of 2.0%(0.5%-4.3%)and DSA showed a pooled prevalence of AOB of 1.8%(0.5%-3.9%).Conclusion Clinically,AOB is a rarely-seen anatomical variation.The possibility of the presence of an AOB should be considered when performing the relevant abdominal surgery so as to avoid causing operation difficulties and complications such as abdominal visceral organ ischemia or bleeding.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:604-609)

Meibomian gland dysfunction is a chronic and diffuse disease of the meibomian glands, characterized by obstruction and(or)abnormal secretion of the terminal ducts. Clinically, it can lead to tear film abnormalities and inflammation of the ocular surface, resulting in symptoms of ocular irritation and potential corneal damage that may impact visual function. Meibomian gland dysfunction can be classified into two types based on meibomian gland secretion: low secretion type and high secretion type. The low secretion type further includes acinar atrophy type and obstruction type. In recent years, research has revealed that patients with diabetes experience chronic damage to their meibomian gland tissue in the early stages of the disease, leading to structural and functional changes. The incidence and severity of meibomian gland dysfunction are higher in diabetic patients. However, there are numerous complex factors contributing to this condition in diabetes patients, and mechanisms remain unclear at present. This article reviews both domestic and international research progress on the pathological mechanism underlying meibomian gland dysfunction in diabetes.

Retinopathy of prematurity(ROP), an abnormal vascular proliferative retinopathy of prematurity, is a serious condition that can lead to retinal detachment or blindness. With the development of neonatal medicine, the survival rate of low birth weight and low gestational age infants has been increasing, as well as the incidence of ROP. Therefore, studying ROP's pathogenesis and influencing factors is of great clinical importance. Numerous studies have been conducted on the risk factors for ROP, including gestational age, oxygen intake, mode of delivery, neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and the use of surfactants. At present, it is widely accepted both at home and abroad that preterm birth, low birth weight, and high oxygen concentration after birth are independent risk factors for ROP. In recent years, more and more scholars have found that abnormalities in blood indicators in preterm infants may be associated with the development of ROP. This article reviews the effects of platelets, haemoglobin, blood glucose, inflammatory cells, and lipids on ROP, providing a reference for identifying and preventing risk factors for ROP.

Rapidly increasing intraocular pressure(IOP)is a typical manifestation of acute angle-closure glaucoma and an important cause of ocular tissue damage, vision loss and even blindness in glaucoma patients. The sharp increase of intraocular pressure in a short period of time in acute angle-closure glaucoma will cause characteristic damage to the structure and function of retina, choroid and optic nerve. Currently, the diagnosis and evaluation of the course of glaucoma is largely dependent on the state of high IOP, changes in the optic nerve and visual field damage, but irreversible damage to the fundus has already been made in glaucoma patients by this time. The microstructural changes in the posterior segment of the eye are more sensitive to high IOP and often appear before optic nerve and visual field damage, which can indicate the damage of high IOP to the eye earlier. Through the evaluation of the imaging characteristics of the posterior segment of the eye, the morphological characteristics that affect the prognosis of glaucoma can be explored, which is clinically important for the early diagnosis of glaucoma.
