AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)combined with fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling and silicone oil(SO)tamponade for treating pathological myopic foveoschisis(PMF).METHODS:This study is a retrospective observational analysis of 10 cases(10 eyes)diagnosed with PMF that underwent PPV with fovea-sparing ILM peeling and SO tamponade between January 2023 and November 2024. The best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central foveal thickness(CFT), foveoschisis(FS), and the detachment and reattachment of FS and macular fovea were assessed preoperatively and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo postoperatively.RESULTS:Among the 10 cases of PMF patients(10 eyes), the complete reattachment rate was 30%(3 eyes), while partial reattachment was observed in 70%(7 eyes). At 3 mo postoperatively, BCVA(LogMAR)was significantly improved to 0.957±0.393 compared with 1.432±0.509 before surgery(P<0.05), and both CFT(437.9±180.4 vs. 207.5±76.1 μm)and FS(686.5±172.2 vs. 290.7±86.6 μm)showed significant decreases(P<0.05). No complications such as macular hole, retinal detachment, silicone oil emulsification, or endophthalmitis were observed during the surgery or throughout the follow-up period.CONCLUSION:PPV with SO tamponade and fovea-sparing ILM peeling has been demonstrated to facilitate both visual acuity improvement and anatomical reattachment in cases of PMF.

Objective: To investigate the changing trends for associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing smartphone addiction in middle school students. Methods: From 2022 to 2023, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to select 8 923 middle school students from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen City between September 2022 (baseline, T1) and September 2023 (follow up, T2). The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), Patients Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) were administered to assess smartphone addiction, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mixed effects models were used to analyze the association of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students. Results: From September 2022 to September 2023, the reported prevalence of smartphone addiction increased from 24.22% to 25.25% ( χ 2=45.71); and smartphone addiction scores [ 24.00 (16.00, 32.00),25.00(16.00, 33.00)], anxiety symptom scores [2.00(0.00, 7.00),3.00(0.00, 7.00)] and depressive symptom scores[3.00(0.00, 8.00),5.00(0.00, 9.00)] all significantly increased ( Z =-17.43, -42.38, -41.57) (all P <0.05). There were statistically significant difference in the distribution of anxiety and depression symptom levels among middle school students in 2022 and 2023 ( χ 2=85.15, 106.85, both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as age, gender and family background, mixed effects models revealed dose response associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students:mild anxiety symptom( OR =3.22), moderate to severe anxiety symptom ( OR =5.36), mild depressive symptom ( OR =3.32) and moderate to severe depressive symptom ( OR =6.13) were significantly associated with higher risks of smartphone addiction (all P <0.05). Interaction effect analysis found that co existing anxiety and depressive symptoms synergistically increased addiction risk by 5.60 times ( OR =5.60) compared to the asymptomatic group, with 32% of the combined risk attributable to their interaction ( S=1.64, AP =0.32)(both P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Anxiety and depressive symptoms are significantly associated with smartphone addiction, exhibiting a synergistic effect. Attention should be paid to emotional issues and smartphone addiction among middle school students.

Objective:To investigate the surgical method of preoperative computed tomography angiography(CTA) combined with color Doppler ultrasonography(CDU) vascular localization assisted by downstream vascularized medial femoral condylar bone flap and its clinical effect in the treatment of refractory scaphoid fracture nonunion.Methods:Retrospective analysis of case data from January 2018 to June 2022 in the Department of Orthopedics at Xingtai General Hospital of North China Medical and Health Group, using a free medial femoral condylar bone flap with descending knee artery as the blood supply to repair old fractures of the scaphoid bone with bone damage. Prior to surgery, CTA combined with CDU technology was used to locate the descending knee artery, and the medial femoral condylar bone flap was designed based on the localization result and bone defects. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient and telephone method. The degree of wrist pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), wrist function was evaluated using the improved Mayo scoring method, the degree of scaphoid arch back deformity was evaluated based on the angle of the scaphoid bone, and stability between the carpal bones was evaluated based on the angle of the scaphoid moon. The normal distribution metric data was represented as Mean±SD, and paired sample t-tests were used to compare the preoperative CDU measurement and the actual intraoperative measurement of the vessel diameter at the origin of the descending knee artery, as well as the distance to the inferior edge of the medial femoral condyle. The VAS score for pain before and after surgery, the Mayo score for wrist function, wrist grip strength, range of motion, scaphoid angle, and scaphoid angle are also compared. Results:A total of 12 patients were enrolled, including 9 males and 3 females; age ranged from 23 to 56 years old, with an average of 36 years old. There were 7 cases of right side fractures, 5 cases of left side fractures, 8 cases of scaphoid waist fractures, and 4 cases of proximal pole fractures. There was no difference between the preoperative CDU location and the actual vessel diameter at the origin of the descending geniculate artery [(1.7±0.5) mm vs. (1.8±0.7) mm] and the distance to the inferior border of the medial femoral condyle [(11.9±2.1) cm vs. (12.1±1.9) cm]( P>0.05). All patients were followed up after the operation, the specific time ranged from 6 months to 2 years, with an average of 13 months. The X-ray films showed that the scaphoid bone healed in all patients after operation, and the average healing time was 15 weeks. After 6 months of follow-up, the VAS scores (3.7±0.9 vs. 0.5±0.1), Mayo scores (46.1±3.8 vs. 86.2±6.1), scapholunar angle [(65.3±4.1)° vs. (47.9±3.5)°], scaphoid angle [(37.1±3.9)° vs. (22.8±2.3)°], wrist flexion and extension range of motion [(79.0±11.7)° vs. (118.5±15.8)°], grip strength [(6.7±4.6) kg vs. (26.1±5.3) kg]were compared before and after surgery, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The free medial femoral condyle bone flap with a vascular pedicle is one of the ideal method to repair the old navicular fracture with osteonecrosis. The preoperative vascular positioning technique effectively guides the design and cutting of the bone flap and ensures fast and accurate operation during the operation.

Objective To explore the predictive effect of empowerment and theory of planned behavior(TPB)on the four core behaviors of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)self-management,and analyze the influence path of TPB model and behavioral intention on the four core behaviors.Methods A total of 500 T2DM patients who were hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of three tertiary general hospitals in different provinces from December 2022 to May 2023 were selected for investigation.Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to explore the predictive effects of empowerment and TPB models on self-management behaviors.Bootstrap method was used to analyze the influence path of TPB model and behavior intention on self-management behaviors.Results Empowerment had a predictive effect on self-management behavior,which was improved after the addition of TPB,with medication R2=0.194,blood glucose monitoring R2=0.308,regular diet R2=0.337 and regular exercise R2=0.343,respectively.Mediation effect analyses revealed that attitude,subjective norm,and perceived behavioral control were observed to predict behavior intention across the four behaviors,and the three except through the behavior intention indirectly affect behavior,can also directly affect the behavior.Conclusions Empowerment can predict self-management behavior,and adding TPB to this can improve the prediction effect.Attitude,subjective norms and perceived control can indirectly or directly affect self-management behavior through behavioral intention.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and transthyretin ( TTR) gene mutation of a family with familial vitreous amyloidosis (FVA). Methods:A pedigree investigation was performed.The clinical data of 20 family members of a Han family with FVA treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from May 2005 to March 2019 were collected, including demographic data and ophthalmic examination results.Nine eyes of five patients underwent vitrectomy successively, and vitreous samples collected during operation were sent for pathological examination by Congo red staining.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured, and the anterior segment as well as fundus was observed under the slit lamp microscope at 1 week and 6 months after surgery.Peripheral venous blood (4 ml) was collected from 20 members in this family and DNA was extracted.The next-generation sequencing technology was used for gene detection of proband, and Sanger sequencing was performed in 20 family members including the proband.The pathogenicity of the mutation sites was analyzed according to ACMG guidelines.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University (No.2019-296). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The preoperative BCVA of the nine eyes (5 patients) remained 0.1 to 0.2 in 6 eyes, and counting fingers to 50 cm in 3 eyes, and the mean value of preoperative IOP was (15.18±1.32) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). Cotton-wool like opacity in the vitreous and white pedal disc punctate granule on the posterior lens capsule were seen in the 9 eyes under the slit lamp microscope.Vitreous specimens of patients were Congo red stain positive.The BCVA remained 0.8 in 8 eyes and 0.6 in 1 eye at 1 week after vitrectomy, and remained 0.8 in 6 eyes, 0.6 in 2 eyes and light perception in 1 eye at 6 months after surgery.Mean values of postoperative IOP were (15.32±2.11) mmHg and (16.13±1.25) mmHg at 1 week and 6 months after surgery, respectively.Secondary glaucoma occurred in 8 eyes at 3 to 14 years postoperatively.Mean BCVA of the 13 phenotypic normal family members (26 eyes) remained 0.8 to 1.0, and the mean value of IOP was (15.52±1.15) mmHg, and abnormalities were not found in anterior segment or fundus.Additionally, two members (4 eyes) failed to take examinations.Genetic testing revealed heterozygous mutation in p. Gly103Arg of TTR gene in 15 family members.According to ACMG guidelines, the variation score was PS1+ PM2+ PP3, and it was likely pathogenic. Conclusions:The secondary glaucoma is of relatively high incidence in patients with FVA after vitrectomy.The heterozygous mutation of TTR gene (p.Gly103Arg) might be the variation site of the family with vitreous amyloidosis.

Objective To compare the efficacy and toxicity of nedaplatin and cispaltin chemotherapy combined with intensity modulated radiotherpy ( IMRT) in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharygeal carcinoma (NPC) patients in unendemic area. Methods From January 2014 to July 2016, sixty-two pairs of patients with stageⅢ-ⅣB NPC patients who underwent radical radiotherapy were selected for pair analysis (nedaplatin group and cisplatin group, 62 cases for each group). The nedaplatin group was treated with IMRT concurrent with nedaplatin at a dose of 100 mg/m2 every three-weeks for 2 -3 cycles, and sequential adjuvant chemotherapy of nedaplatin + fluorouracil regimen for 2 to 3 courses. The cisplatin group was treated with IMRT concurrent with cisplatin at a dose of 80 mg/m2 every three-weeks for 2-3 cycles, and sequential adjuvant chemotherapy of cisplatin + fluorouracil regimen for 2 to 3 courses. Results The 2-year overall survival ( OS ) of nedaplatin group and cisplatin group was 89. 9％ and 91. 1％, local recurrence free survival ( LRFS ) 90. 5％ and 93. 5％, regional recurrence free survival ( RRFS ) 96. 4％ and 96. 0％, and distant metastasis free survival ( DMFS ) 85. 9％ and 90. 3％, respectively. There were no significant differences between nedaplatin group and cisplatin group ( P >0. 05 ) . In the occurrence of acute toxicity, during concurrent chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy, the incidence of grade 3-4 vomiting in nedaplatin group was significantly lower than that in cisplatin group. During adjuvant chemotherapy, the incidence of grade 3 - 4 thrombocytopenia in nedaplatin group was significantly higher than that in cisplatin group. Conclusions For NPC patients with stage Ⅲ-ⅣB in unendemic area, the 2-year survival rates of nedaplatin group was silimiar to cisplatin group, while the incidence of grade 3 -4 vomiting was significantly lower than that in cisplatin group. Nedaplatin maybe an alternative chemotherapy for patients who cannot tolerate cisplatin chemotherapy.

Mechanical ventilation is a medical method used frequently in critically ill patients after operation in the department of surgery, but its own invasive nature often causes great discomfort, inducing anxiety and irritability to the patients, therefore, postoperatively analgesic and sedative drug treatments are often necessary. With the general progress and attention paid on the critical care medicine, more and more people have studied the analgesic and sedative schemes for mechanical ventilation patients. In this article, the related contents in recent years concerning commonly used analgesic and sedative drugs, the standard criteria for analgesic and sedative therapy, the application of analgesic evaluation tool, and the analgesic and sedative therapy in domestic and abroad nursing intervention in ICU were reviewed and summarized.
