OBJECTIVETo investigate the optimal time and method of the early repair of the full layer eyelid defect caused by chemical burn.

METHODSFree nasal septum mucosal cartilage flap with muscle flap, skin grafting, or skin flap were performed in 18 cases (19 eyelids) with chemical burn within 4 postburn weeks. Eyelid reconstruction and corneal transplantation were performed at the same time in 4 patients.

RESULTSAll the reconstructed eyelids and transplanted cornea survived. The incidence of severe complications, such as exposure keratitis, corneal ulcer and eyeball perforation decreased.

CONCLUSIONFull layer eyelid defect caused by chemical burn should receive early reconstruction and repair, including timely reconstruction of eyelid for the sake of protecting the eyesight and of alleviating the inflammatory reactions, and the corneal transplantation should be done at the same time to avoid corneal perforation. Nasal septum mucosal cartilage flap could be ideal for the eyelid reconstruction.

Objective To analyze plantar pressure features of patients in injured and healthy sides of the lower limbs under different walking conditions after the trimalleolar fracture surgery, and compare these characteristics with healthy subjects. Methods Twelve Trimalleolar fracture patients and twenty-three healthy subjects were recruited and their plantar pressure characteristics under different walking conditions were tested, including peak pressure, contact area and contact time percentage. Results Comparison between injured and healthy sides: during level walking, peak pressure of the 3rd-5th toe in the injured feet were smaller than those in the healthy sides; in inversion position, peak pressure and contact area of the 3rd-5th toe area in the injured feet were smaller than those in the healthy side; in eversion position, peak pressure, contact area and contact time of the 3rd-5th toe in the injured feet were smaller than those in the healthy sides, and peak pressures of the hindfoot area were larger than those in the healthy sides. Comparison between patients and healthy subjects: under three kinds of walking conditions, peak pressures of the 2nd and 3rd metatarsus bones, the 2nd toe, the 3rd-5th toe, contact area of the 1st-5th toe and contact time percentage of the 2nd toe, the 3rd-5th toe area were all smaller than those of healthy subjects, while contact time of the hindfoot and mid-foot area were all smaller than those of healthy subjects. Conclusions The plantar pressure characteristics of Trimalleolar fracture patients were asymmetrical. Compared with healthy subjects, the plantar pressure features of patients were abnormal during stance phase. Compared with healthy subjects, the motor control ability and stability of patients in eversion positions were decreased. The plantar pressure characteristics at ankle eversion can be used to evaluate ankle joint function.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge of Sixth Chinese national consensus report on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection ( treatment excluded) (hereinafter referred to as sixth national consensus) and 2022 Chinese national clinical practice guideline on Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment (hereinafter referred to as the guideline)among medical staff from general hospitals in Hainan. Methods:From February 20 to May 7, 2023, a questionnaire survey on the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection was conducted among 1 463 medical staff from 15 general hospitals in Hainan Province. The questionnaire was drawn up according to the sixth national consensus and the guideline, covering knowledge of 6 sections, induding H. pylori related diseases, detection of H. pylori, eradication, prevention and influence factors of eradication of H. pylori, etc. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 1 463 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective responsive rate of 100.00%.The 1 463 subjects included 225 gastroenterologists and 1 238 other medical staff(including 503 physicians from other departments, 264 surgeons and 471 medical technologists and pharmacists). About 78.67%(177/225)of gastroenterologists agreed that the overall infection rate of H. pylori in China was more than 20%, the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff (physicians from other departments 65.41%(329/503), surgeons 61.74%(163/264), medical technologists and pharmacists 60.30%(284/471); the following datas were sorted by this position), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=30.97, P<0.001). About 51.11%(115/225) of gastroenterologists considered that H. pylori serological antibody test could not be used as a diagnostic method for current infection, the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff(22.07%(111/503), 14.02%(37/264), 12.31%(58/471)), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2 =152.66, P<0.001). Proton pump inhibitor and potassium-competitive acid blocker should be discontinued for 2 weeks, and antibiotics and bismuth should be discontinued for 4 weeks before urea breath test, and the awareness rates of gastroenterologists were higher than those of other medical staff (38.67%(87/225) vs. 23.26%(117/503), 19.70%(52/264), 18.47%(87/471); 60.89%(137/225) vs. 26.64%(134/503), 25.76%(68/264), 23.78%(112/471)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 =133.70 and 165.51, both P<0.001). For refractory H. pylori infection, 98.67%(222/225)of gastroenterologists agreed with the individualized diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection should be guided by bacterial culture, antibiotic susceptibility test or drug resistance gene test, and the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff (91.85%(462/503), 93.56%(247/264), 93.21%(439/471)), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=20.55, P=0.002). About 70.67% (159/225) of gastroenterologists recommended a bismuth containing quadruple regimen, 80.44% (181/225) supported a 10 to 14 day H. pylori eradication course, and the awareness rates were higher than other medical staff (46.92%(236/503), 33.33%(88/264), 32.91%(155/471); 67.20%(338/503), 59.09%(156/264), 53.93%(254/471)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=111.25 and 59.99, both P<0.001). The understanding rates of the sixth national consensus and the guideline in gastroenterologists was 85.33% (192/225), which was higher than that of other medical staff (64.21%(323/503), 66.67%(176/264), 57.96%(273/471)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=85.47, P<0.001). Conclusions:Gastroenterologists from general hospitals in Hainan Province have a better understanding of the sixth national consensus and the guideline than other medical staff. However, there is still a lack of deep understanding of the sixth national consensus and the guideline, and it is necessary to further strengthen the learning and application of the sixth national consensus and the guideline.

In mass spectrometry-based proteomics experiments,achieving high-throughput and efficientproteolytic digestion is crucial to ensure optimal protein cleavage and enhance the depth of protein identi-fication (including the number of identified proteins and the coverage of protein amino acid sequences) .Trypsin is the most widely used protease in mass spectrometry-based proteomics due to its ability to spe-cifically cleave the carboxyl terminus of arginine and lysine.However,it was found that Trypsin has some missed enzymatic efficiency for the cleavage of lysine residues.Therefore,in actual proteomics sample preparation,a combination of Trypsin and LysC will be used to ensure adequate cleavage of lysine resi-dues.Our study revealed that the commonly employed LysC-Trypsin tandem cleavage method exerts an impact on the enzymatic cleavage of protein samples by Trypsin due to the subsequent cleavage of Trypsin by initially added LysC.Consequently,we adjusted the order of LysC and Trypsin tandem digestion,with Trypsin cleavage being performed first followed by the addition of LysC to target any missed lysine resi-dues.We comprehensively compared and analyzed three distinct sequential digestion methods,namely Trypsin-Trypsin (T-T),LysC-Trypsin (L-T),and Trypsin-LysC (T-L),in terms of their effects on pro-tein sample preparation quality.The results demonstrated that the Trypsin-LysC sequential digestion ap-proach not only minimizes missed protein lysine/arginine cleavage sites without increasing experimental costs,at the same time yielding peptides with a moderate amino acid sequence length.The use of Tryp-sin-LysC digestion enhances the adsorption and separation of peptide samples in RP-HPLC,as well as improves the depth of protein detection and amino acid sequence coverage during tandem mass spectrome-try analysis.This research work offers a novel technical solution and serves as a valuable reference for proteome sample preparation.

Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of Bushen Daozhuo Granules (BDG) in the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis. METHODS: This multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial included 478 patients with type Ⅲ prostatitis, 290 in the trial group and 188 as controls, the former treated with BDG at 200 ml bid and the latter with tamsulosin hydrochloride sustainedrelease capsules at 0.2 mg qd, both for 4 weeks. Before treatment, after 4 weeks of medication, and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal, we obtained the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIHCPSI) scores and compared the safety and effectiveness rate between the two groups of patients. RESULTS: Compared with the baseline, the NIHCPSI score was markedly decreased in the control group after 4 weeks of medication (21.42 ± 4.02 vs 15.67 ± 3.65, P < 0.05) but showed no statistically significant difference from that at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal (19.03 ± 3.86) (P>0.05), while the NIHCPSI score in the trial group was remarkably lower than the baseline both after 4 weeks of medication and at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal (10.92 ± 2.06 and 12.91 ± 2.64 vs 21.58 ± 3.67, P < 0.05). The trial group exhibited both a higher rate of total effectiveness and safety than the control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS BDG is safe and effective for the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Omicron BA.1 breakthrough infection after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine could create a strong immunity barrier. METHODS: Blood samples were collected at two different time points from 124 Omicron BA.1 breakthrough infected patients and 124 controls matched for age, gender, and vaccination profile. Live virus-neutralizing antibodies against five SARS-CoV-2 variants, including WT, Gamma, Beta, Delta, and Omicron BA.1, and T-lymphocyte lymphocyte counts in both groups were measured and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The neutralizing antibody titers against five different variants of SARS-CoV-2 were significantly increased in the vaccinated population infected with the Omicron BA.1 variant at 3 months after infection, but mainly increased the antibody level against the WT strain, and the antibody against the Omicron strain was the lowest. The neutralizing antibody level decreased rapidly 6 months after infection. The T-lymphocyte cell counts of patients with mild and moderate disease recovered at 3 months and completely returned to the normal state at 6 months. CONCLUSION Omicron BA.1 breakthrough infection mainly evoked humoral immune memory in the original strain after vaccination and hardly produced neutralizing antibodies specific to Omicron BA.1. Neutralizing antibodies against the different strains declined rapidly and showed features similar to those of influenza. Thus, T-lymphocytes may play an important role in recovery.
