Abstract The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas：optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of arthroscopically-assisted reduction and internal fixation(ARIF)combined with enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)and open reduction and internal fixation surgery(ORIF)in the treatment of posterior lateral tibial plateau fractures.Methods Seventy patients with posterior lateral tibial plateau fractures in the Department of Orthopaedics,Xuzhou Central Hospital,from January 2020 to November 2022 were retrospectively selected and divided into ARIF group(with ERAS,n=32)and ORIF group(without ERAS,n=38)according to the treatment methods.All patients were evaluated for fracture type by imaging examination after admission.The operation time,length of hospital stay,early postoperative pain score(evaluated by visual analogue scale[VAS]),knee joint function(evaluated by hospital for special surgery[HSS]scale)at 3 months and thigh circumference difference at 6 months postoperatively were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time in the ARIF group was significantly shorter than that in the ORIF group([67.84±9.89]min vs[85.16±9.18]min,P＜0.001),and the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the ARIF group([7.13±1.41]d vs[8.74±1.84]d,P＜0.001).On the third day after operation,the VAS score in the ARIF group was significantly lower than that in the ORIF group([4.00±1.44]vs[5.39±1.24],P＜0.001).ARIF group had better joint function than ORIF group 3 months after operation,and the difference of 10 cm thigh circumference on patella in ARIF group was smaller than that in ORIF group 6 months after operation.Conclusions Compared to ORIF,patients with posterior lateral tibial plateau fractures treated with ARIF combined with ERAS showed faster postoperative recovery,shorter hospital stay,and more precise clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of preoperative use of diuretics on cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury(CSA-AKI)in elderly patients.Methods:In this single-center retrospective study, 1 638 patients aged ≥60 years and undergone cardiac surgery(including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement and valvuloplasty)in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Linyi People's Hospital between January 2015 and December 2022 were recruited.The last preoperative serum creatinine(SCr)level was taken as the baseline value, and AKI was diagnosed according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)criteria.Patients were divided into an AKI group and a non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred after surgery.The clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared, and the effect of preoperative use of diuretics on CSA-AKI was evaluated by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:Of 1638 patients enrolled in the study, 284 patients(17.3%)developed CSA-AKI.Compared with the non-AKI group, there were higher proportions of patients in the AKI group receiving furosemide(62.7% or 178/284 vs.46.2% or 626/1 354, χ2=25.397, P<0.001), spironolactone(70.1% or 199/284 vs.49.9% or 676/1 354, χ2=38.284, P<0.001), and hydrochlorothiazide(8.1% or 23/284 vs.3.5% or 47/1354, χ2=12.288, P<0.001). The number of diuretics in the AKI group was higher than in the non-AKI group[2(0, 2) vs.1(0, 2), Z=-6.381, P<0.001], and the proportion of patients using ≥2 diuretics was higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group(70.1% or 199/284 vs.49.0% or 664/1354, χ2=41.652, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypoalbuminemia, NYHA functional class Ⅲ/Ⅳ, cardiopulmonary bypass during surgery, operative duration≥6 h, postoperative blood transfusion>600 ml, postoperative use of >3 vasoactive drugs and other variables, preoperative use of ≥2 diuretics remained an independent risk factor for CSA-AKI in elderly patients( OR=1.580, 95% CI: 1.042-2.396, P=0.031). Conclusions:AKI is a common complication after cardiac surgery in elderly patients.Preoperative use of ≥2 diuretics used may be an independent risk factor for CSA-AKI.

Objective:To review the paper on the admittance evaluation indicators of palliative care for patients with heart failure, and clarify the admittance evaluation indicators of palliative care for patients with heart failure and corresponding evaluation criteria or tools at home and abroad.Methods:Based on the framework of the scoping review, paper retrieval was carried out through computer in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and VIP. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to April 30, 2022. The original research and review on the admittance evaluation of palliative care for patients with heart failure were included, and the data were independently screened and extracted by two researchers.Results:A total of 15 papers were included. The results of document integration showed that the admittance evaluation indicators of palliative care for patients with heart failure included four categories, namely, disease progress, patient needs, medical resource utilization and medical institutions. It included 12 evaluation indicators and corresponding evaluation criteria or evaluation tools, including the patient's expected survival period, cardiac function, high-risk biomarkers, exercise status, complications, advanced treatment, patient's subjective will, complex symptom relief needs, social support needs, multiple unplanned admissions, hospital stay extension, and medical institution software and hardware resources.Conclusions:The content of the admittance evaluation indicators of palliative care for patients with heart failure is comprehensive, but the evaluation criteria for some indicators are not clear, and there is no consensus on the whole. In the future, researchers can select sensitive evaluation indicators on the basis of existing research, construct the admittance evaluation indicators of palliative care for patients with heart failure, and verify it in clinical practice, so as to promote the application of palliative care in the disease management of patients with heart failure.

Objective:To explore the basic rules of hemodynamics of the multi-territory flap in the early stage.Methods:In this paper, based on the prototype of the free flaps and vascularized pedicled transpositional flaps. The angiosome theory was applied as a basis to systematically analyze the blood flow pathway, the resistance network, and the series or parallel connection mode between each resistance network within the flap, according to the knowledge of fluid mechanics and current pathway, and finally the mathematical model was used for deduction.Results:Based on the model, it can be concluded that a dynamic flow balance can be achieved in the arteries and veins of the multi-territory flap in the early stage and the flap could be divided into four areas: the effective microcirculation zone, the venous stasis zone, the relative ischemic zone and the absolute ischemic zone. And the following inferences can be drawn: (1) The blood supply to the vascular pedicle is constant by pressure rather than by flow. (2) The resistance of the flap varies by the position or the relative position of the arterial vascular pedicle and venous vascular pedicle. (3) The flow velocity decrease gradually from the pedicle to the distal end. (4) The main factors that lead to distal flap necrosis vary depending on the region in which they are located: the venous stasis zone is mainly due to obstructed venous return, and the relative and absolute ischemic zones are mainly due to insufficient arterial blood supply.Conclusions:The basic rules and characteristics of hemodynamics of the multi-territory flap in the early stage can be well explained by this theoretical model, the pedicled artery and vein of the flap can achieve a dynamic balance of flow, and the blood flow gradually decreases from the pedicle to the distal end. The survival range of the flap depends on the pressure difference between the artery and vein as well as the resistance of the blood flow path in the flaps. The distal necrotic area of the flap can be divided into venous stasis area and arterial insufficiency area.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatments and prognosis of ocular toxoplasmosis (OT).Methods:A retrospective clinical trial. Twelve cases (14 eyes) with OT which was confirmed by clinical and laboratory tests were included in the Department of Ophthalmology, Taihe Hospital in Shiyan and the Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital in Beijing from July 2011 to June 2019. Among the 12 cases, 6 cases were female (7 eyes) and 6 cases were male (7 eyes). The mean age of the participants was 33.4±12.8 years and the duration of illness ranged from 7 days to 30 years. Fungal endophthalmitis, viral uveitis and non-infectious uveitis were misdiagnosed in 2 cases respectively at the first visit. All the patients underwent BCVA, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp microscope, fundus color photography examinations and toxoplasma-specific serological antibodies tests. Intraocular influid were detected for 7 cases, among which 1 case for antibody only, and 6 cases for Goldmann-witmer coefficient (GWC). Of the 6 cases tested for GWC, 4 cases were tested with PCR assay in the ocular fluid addtionally. FFA was performed in 5 cases (6 eyes) and OCT in 6 cases (6 eyes). Eleven cases were treated with antitoxoplasma therapy. The follow-up duration after treatment varied from 1 week to 39 months. BCVA, clinical features and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Specific antibody seropositivity of Toxoplasma gondii was detected in all 12 patients. Of the 7 cases tested with intraocular fluid, 1 case was IgG positive and the other 6 cases with 5 cases with GWC >4 and 1 case with 20.3 in 4 eyes. KPs with or without anterior chamber flash or cells could be detected in 6 eyes,congenital macular defect 1 eye, vitreitis 3 eyes (2 eyes with multiple retinal pigmentation foci and 1 eye with tractive retinal detachment), and coexistence of new and old lesions with Kyrieleis arteritis 2 eyes. Nine eyes showed different degrees of vitreous inflammation (75% of 12 active eyes). Single lesion was present in 4 case (4 eyes) and multiple lesions were present in 8 cases (10 eyes). There were no statistically significant changes in BCVA of OT patients before and after treatment ( P=0.83). Involvement or adjacent to macula of he primary lesions, misdiagnosis and mistreatment led to the poor prognosisi of visual acuity. Conclusions:The fundus of OT can show single lesion or multiple lesions, and the active phase is often accompanied by vitreous inflammation. The primary lesion involves or is close to the macular area, misdiagnosis and mistreatment are the main reasons for the poor visual prognosis of patients.

Vegetables, rice, eggs and drinking water samples were collected from e-waste dismantling area of Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province. Nickel (Ni) was analyzed in each sample, and the non-carcinogenic health [the daily intake (DI) and hazard quotient (HQ)] of each sample was evaluated. In this e-waste dismantling area, the contents of Ni in rice and eggs were (0.46±0.24) and (0.16±0.13) μg/g, which were higher than those in the control area [the contents of Ni in rice and eggs were (0.17±0.03) and (0.02±0.02) μg/g, respectively] (both P values<0.05). The DI values of rice, vegetable, eggs, and drinking water were (3.61-5.86), (1.75-2.99), (0.11-0.24), and (0.08-0.12) μg·kg^-1·day^-1, respectively. The HQ values were 0.180-0.290, 0.090-0.150, 0.005-0.010, 0.005-0.006, respectively. Although the HQ values of rice, vegetable, eggs, and drinking water were all lower than 1, which was an acceptable level. However, considering the possibility of combined exposure of heavy metals, the non-carcinogenic health risks of Ni in the e-waste dismantling area should still be concerned.

Objective To investigate the application of a narrow pedicle cross-finger flap in the treatment of fingertip degloving injuries.Methods Between June 2011and May 2013,23 patients (23 fingers) suffered from fingertip degloving injuries were treated with a narrow pedicle cross-finger flap.There were 15 males (15 fingers) and 8 females (8 fingers).Defects were caused by machine crush injury in 11 cases,girdle crush injury in 7 cases and punch press injury in 5 cases.The defects were located on the index finger in 10 cases,long finger in 2 cases,ring finger in 7 cases,and little finger in 4 cases.The flaps sized 2.6 cm × 1.9 cm to 6.5 cm × 2.2 cm.After six months,according to Zhang's curative effect satisfaction score method,the efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by five aspects of skin flap healing:flap fleeing,skin flap,flap outline,flap temperature and donor site scar.Results The island flaps were survived completely in 23 patients.After followed-up for 6 to 18 months (one case was lost to follow-up).The color and texture of the flap were the same to the surrounding normal skin,and the finger shape was satisfactory.There was no pigmentation and contraction relapse ofthe injured finger.The mean values of static 2-point discrimination were (6.1 ± 1.3) mm (range,5-8 mm) of the flap.Conclusions The narrow pedicle cross-finger flap can be used to repair the fingertip degloving injuries with the flexible flap design and reliable blood supplement.The flap survives well and the repair area is good.Therefore,it is a good method and strongly recommended for fingertip degloving injuries repair in clinics.

Objective: To study the expression and significance of Notch1-Jagged1 in nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis (AR) mouse model in various stages and in the serum of AR patients. Methods: Thirty-six mice were divided into 3 groups: control group, basal sensitization group (OVA) and OVA/AR group, with 12 mice in each group. Allergic symptom in each group were scored after AR model establishment. HE staining method was used to observe the nasal mucosa eosinophils infiltration. ELISA was used to detect the serum level of total IgE. Flow cytometry was used to detect the change of Treg cells in each group. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Notch1 and Jagged1 in nasal mucosa. Flow cytometric bead array (CBA) was used to detect the level of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines in splenic lymphocytes. The serum was obtained from 50 patients with AR and 30 control volunteers in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from June to October 2017. ELISA was used to detect the expression of Notch1 and Jagged1. Results: Compared with the control group, the allergy symptom, the number of nasal mucosal eosinophils and the level of total IgE were not significantly different in basal sensitization group, but increased significantly in OVA/AR group (6.11±0.78 vs 0.67±0.50, 77.67±5.61 vs 10.33±0.82, (106.80±11.91) pg/ml vs (82.45±19.80) pg/ml, t value was 19.471, 34.848, 2.542, respectively, all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the ratio of Treg cell increased in basal sensitization group but decreased in OVA/AR group ((10.29±0.47)% vs (9.28±0.16)%, (8.49±0.15)% vs (9.28±0.16)%, t value was 5.838, 4.540, respectively, all P<0.01). Compared with control group, the expression of Notch1 increased significantly both in basal sensitization group and OVA/AR group (1.04±0.05 vs 0.71±0.05, 1.83±0.10 vs 0.71±0.05, t value was 9.293, 31.363, respectively, all P<0.01); and the expression of Jagged1 only increased significantly in OVA/AR group (0.41±0.04 vs 0.21±0.01, t=13.472, P<0.01). It was found that Notch1 was positively correlated with the level of IL-6, IL-10 by Pearson test (r value was 0.98, 0.87, respectively, all P<0.01). Compared with control volunteers, the expression of Notch1 and Jagged1 increased significantly in AR group patients ((1 135.0±254.9) pg/ml vs (436.0±139.3) pg/ml, (1 200.2±401.0) pg/ml vs (559.9±124.2) pg/ml, t value was 13.99, 11.94, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of Notch1 receptor and ligand increased significantly in the pathogenesis of AR. Notch1-Jagged1 may promote the occurrence and development of AR by up-regulating the expression of IL-6 and IL-10.
