Objective To investigate the clinical application of skin bridge preopening window drainage in enhanced recovery of mixed hemorrhoids surgically treated with external dissection and internal ligation.Methods A total of 620 patients with mixed hemorrhoids surgically treated with external dissection and internal ligation were retrospectively analyzed from March 1,2021-February 28,2022.Patients were divided into the observation group(n=304)and the control group(n=316)according to the single and even numbers randomly generated at the time of admission.In the observation group,on the basis of conventional operation and drug treatment in the control group,most of them chose to implement preopening window drainage of the skin bridge according to the intraoperative evaluation of the anal skin bridge according to the unified evaluation criteria.Symptom-sign scoring scale used to evaluate the anal edema and pain after the operation.To compare and analyze differences in anal edema,anal pain and the postoperative hospital stay between the observation group and the control.Results The average daily edema scores of the observation group and the control group were 0.56 and 1.2 points,respectively.The average daily edema score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,with the statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The average daily pain scores of the observation group and the control group were 0.6 and 1.201+0.289 points,respectively.The average daily pain score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,with the statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The average hospitalization days of the observation group and the control group were 8 days and 10 days,respectively.The average length of stay in the observation group was less than that in the control group,with the statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Skin bridge preopening window drainage can effectively relieve the degree of anal edema and pain in patients with mixed hemorrhoids surgically treated with external dissection and internal ligation,improve clinical efficacy,shorten the postoperative hospital stay.It has practical value and clinical significance for enhanced recovery.

Objective: To observe the expression of retinal proteins in experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) mice and to explore the possible molecular mechanism of autoimmune uveitis. Methods: Twelve female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into model group and normal control group, 6 mice in each group.In the model group, the EAU model was established by subcutaneous injection of human interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) 651-670.The fundal change of EAV mice was assessed by direct ophthalmoscope, OCT and histopathological staining.At 18 days after immunization, the retinas of the two groups were taken for retinal protein extraction, protein restriction enzyme digestion, mass spectrometry detection, data analysis, and bioinformatics analysis.This study was approved by the experimental animal Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (TJYY2018070113). The feeding and use of experimental animals follow the ARVO statement. Results: The EAU mouse model was successfully established.At 10 days after immunitation, the retina of EAV mouse was damaged.At 18 days after immunization, retinal edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells into vitreous were observed.Proteomic results showed that a total of 4 458 proteins were identified in this study, of which 522 were differentially-expressed proteins (fold change>1.5, P<0.05). Among these differentially-expressed proteins, 147 proteins including Stat1 and Stat3 were up-regulated and 375 proteins including Gucy2f and Rho were down-regulated.These differentially-expressed proteins were closely related to platelet activation, integrin signaling, T cell activation, the phototransduction cascade, Toll-like receptor and so on. Conclusions EAU is related to the abnormal expression of Stat1, Stat3 and other proteins, as well as the abnormal regulation of platelet activation and integrin signal pathway.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of anti-interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 p40 antibody on experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) and its mechanism.Methods:Sixty-six SPF female C57BL/6N mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected.EAU model was established in 24 mice through immunization with the interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) 651-670.The 24 mice were sacrificed before immunization, and on the 3rd, 12th, and 18th day after immunization, with 6 at each time point.Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of IL-17A + interferon-γ (IFN-γ) + CD4 + T cells in the spleen, lymph nodes and eyeballs.Another 6 mice were selected to establish EAU model, and fundus images of the mice were taken with a small animal imaging instrument and optical coherence tomography (OCT) 18 days after immunization.The 6 mice were sacrificed after OCT examination and the eyeballs were collected.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the retinal inflammation and morphological changes in tissue structure.Flow cytometry was employed to detect the proportion of IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells in lymph nodes.The 6 mice were divided into IL-17A + IFN-γ + highly expressed group and IL-17A + IFN-γ + lowly expressed group according to flow cytometry results, and the retinal injury was compared between the two groups.EAU model was established in another 36 mice, which were divided into anti-IL-12/IL-23 p40 group and IgG group by random number table method, with 18 mice in each group.Anti-IL-12/IL-23 p40 or IgG was injected by tail vein at a 3-day inteval according to grouping.On the 12th and 18th day after immunization, 6 mice were selected from each group to collect lymph nodes and eyeballs, and the proportion of T cell subsets was detected by flow cytometry.Eyeballs of 6 mice in each group were extracted on the 24th day after immunization and retinal damage was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The induced differentiation of CD4 + T cells in vitro was assayed by flow cytometry.The expressions of IL-17 and IFN-γ were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after induced differentiation of IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells.The relative expression levels of Th1 transcription factor T-bet and Th17 transcription factor retinoid acid-related orphan nuclear receptor γt (ROR-γt) after induced differentiation of IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.The use and care of animals followed the ARVO statement and this study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Experimental Animals of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.TJYY2019111019). Results:There were significant differences in the proportion of IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells in lymph nodes, spleen and eyeballs between wild-type mice and EAU mice at the 3rd, 12th and 18th day after immunization ( H=9.642, 16.531, 10.385; all at P<0.05). Compared with before immunization, the proportion of IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells was significantly increased in lymph nodes of EAU mice on the 12th day following immunization and was significantly increased in spleen and lymph nodes on day 18 after immunization (all at P<0.05). Severe retinal exudation, retinal detachment, severe inflammatory cell infiltration and extensive retinal folds were detected in IL-17A + IFN-γ + highly expressed mice.Mild retinal edema, focal inflammatory cell infiltration and mild retinal folds were found in IL-17A + IFN-γ + lowly expressed mice.The proportion of CD3 and IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells in the eyeballs of anti-IL-12/IL-23 p40 group was lower than that in IgG group at the 18th day after immunization, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=15.304, 8.080; both at P<0.05). On day 12 after immunization, the percentage of IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells in anti-IL-12/IL-23 p40 group was (0.33±0.18)%, which was significantly lower than (4.83±0.45)% in IgG group ( t=15.974, P<0.001). Compared with IgG group, the percentage of Th1, Th17, IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells and the expression levels of IL-17, IFN-γ, T-bet, ROR-γt in anti-IL-12/IL-23 p40 group were significantly decreased, with statistical significances (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Anti-IL-12/IL-23 p40 has a therapeutic effect on EAU by inhibiting IL-17A + IFN-γ + CD4 + T cells.
