Objective To compare the clinical effects of 577 nm and 532 nm laser panretinal photocoagulation in the treatment of severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).Methods A prospective,controlled trial was conducted in 42 patients(64 eyes)with severe NPDR,who were randomly divided into 577 nm group and 532 nm group.All of patients received PRP with the single-point model.Preoperative and postoperative 1 day,1 month,3 and 6 months,the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),fundus,optical coherence tomography (OCT) and full field flash electroretinogram (F-ERG) were examined.After treatment 3 and 6 months,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination was performed between two groups.Results In 577 nm group and 532 nm group,the average number of laser spot was (1969.25 ± 278.19) and (2098.16 ± 289.27) respectively;average laser power was (425.23 ± 50.15)mW and (438.15 ± 38.48)mW respectively;and average energy density was (7.54 ± 1.54) mW · ms · μm-2 and (7.68 ± 3.01)mW · ms · μm-2.There was no difference in number of laser spot(t =2.68),laser power (t =1.46) and energy density (t =2.15) between the two groups (all P > 0.05),and the differences of macular central thickness after treatment 1 month,3 and 6 months (t =1.98,1.88,1.81 respectively) approached no statistical significance between the two groups (all P > 0.05),while F-ERG a,b wave amplitudes after treatment 1 month,3 and 6 months (a wave:t =5.94,5.19,6.97;b wave:t =5.67,4.56,5.12) had significant differences between groups (all P < 0.05).The effective rate of treating 6 months after operation in the two groups were 87.5% and 46.9% respectively,with significant difference (x2 =7.56,P < 0.05).Conclusion 577 nm laser is more effective and has less damage to visual function than 532 nm laser in the treatment of NPDR.

Objective To investigate the expression of galectin-3 in pancreatic cancer cell and its effect on the proliferation and invasion of SW1990.Methods Immunocytochemistry and semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of galectin-3 protein and mRNA in SW1990,PANC1 and ASPC-1 cell lines.Galectin-3 mono-antibody of different concentrations ( 1,2,3,5 μg/ml) was used to treat SW1990 cells for 24,48,72 h,CCK-8 kits were used to detect the proliferation in SW1990 cells; Transwell chamber was used to study the invasion in SW1990.Results Expression of galectin-3 protein and mRNA was present in SW1990,PANC1,and ASPC-1.Galectin 3 mono-antibody inhibited the proliferation and number of invasive cells in a dose and time dependant manner.The inhibitory rates at 72 h were 19.8%,29.9% and 42.7% in 2,3,5 μg/ml galectin 3 mono-antibody groups,the difference among them and control group was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ).The inhibite rate of permeating membrane cells in 3 μg/ml galectin-3 mono antibody was 37.1%,the difference between this group and control group was statistically significant (P <0.05 ).ConcLusions Galectin-3 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells.Galectin-3 antibody can inhibit the proliferation and migration capability of SW1990 cells.

YKL-40 protein, also called chitinase 3 like 1 (CHI3L1), is a highly conserved secreted glycoprotein in racial evolution, belonging to the " 18-glycosyl hydrolase" family. A large number of studies have shown that YKL-40 is involved in the pathological process of many diseases. There is little research information about YKL-40 in ocular diseases yet. This article mainly summarizes the research progress of YKL-40 in ocular diseases in the domestic and foreign literatures to provide reference for further clinical research.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of a modified superior mesenteric artery(SMA)approach in totally laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision(CME)and D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 77 cases of totally laparoscopic radical surgery for right colon cancer from April 2021 to April 2023.Before August 2022,42 cases underwent traditional SMA approach(control group,only marking with the ileocolic vascular pedicle as the tail of SMA),while after August 2022,35 cases underwent modified SMA approach(modified group,marking with the Treitz's ligament and ileocolic vascular pedicle as the head and tail of SMA,respectively).There was no statistically significant difference in general information between the two groups(P>0.05).The intraoperative conditions,postoperative recovery,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the modified group had a shorter surgical time[(147.3±35.8)min vs.(173.4±29.9)min,t =-3.428,P =0.001].There were no statistically significant differences in the number of lymph node dissection,number of positive lymph nodes,drainage volume,exhaust time,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The modified SMA approach for totally laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer shortens the surgical time,reduces the difficulty and risk of surgery,and has high safety and feasibility.

Diabetic macular edema(DME), a serious complication of diabetic retinopathy(DR), is a chronic condition caused by multiple factors. Throughout its progression, inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)play a critical role. Anti-VEGF drugs have shown significant effectiveness in the treatment of DME; however, some patients may experience persistent DME after injection or require frequent injections. Dexamethasone intravitreal implants(DEX implants)serve as a sustained-release implant characterized by a reasonable release profile and high bioavailability. They offer safe, effective, and prolonged anti-inflammatory effects, aiding in the repair of retinal barrier and reduction of exudation. To further enhance patients' visual quality, exploring the efficacy of DEX implants in combination with existing treatment regimens has great clinical significance. This review primarily discusses the research advancements in DEX implants, focusing on their pharmacological properties, indications for use, and their combination with existing drugs and treatment methods. It also evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of combination therapy or switching to DEX implants compared to current standard treatments, aiming to provide guidance for personalized treatment options for patients with DME.
