AIM: To compare the effectiveness of foldable capsular body(FCB)with traditional scleral buckling(SB)in the treatment of experimental retinal detachment animal models.METHODS: After successfully establishing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)animal models, 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(RRD models group, SB group, and FCB group), with 8 rabbits in each group. The FCB and SB groups underwent SB and FCB surgeries for the RRD animal models, while the RRD models group only consists of RRD models without any surgical intervention during the follow-up period. The follow-up duration was 3 mo. Wide-field neonatal fundus imaging system and ophthalmic B-ultrasound were used to assess the fundus conditions before and after surgery. The Icare® TONOVET Plus tonometer was utilized to evaluate intraocular pressure changes before and after surgery. The Eaton and Draize scoring systems were selected to monitor postoperative inflammatory reactions.RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rates in the FCB and SB groups were 87.5% and 75.0%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in both the FCB and SB groups increased postoperatively compared to preoperative levels(P<0.01), and there were no significant differences in intraocular pressure at any time points during the follow-up period between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in the RRD models group remained at a low level throughout the follow-up period. The average surgical time for the FCB group was 16.87±2.29 min, which was shorter than 46.25±4.74 min in the SB group(t=-15.166, P<0.001). According to the Eaton and Draize scoring systems, the FCB group had lower grades of conjunctival hyperemia and edema in the early postoperative period compared to the SB group, indicating milder inflammatory reactions(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both FCB and SB are effective in treating experimental RRD. Compared to SB, FCB is simpler to operate, and also has a shorter surgical time and milder postoperative inflammatory reactions.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of dengue fever in Shenzhen City in 2024, so as to provide insights into formulation of the preventive and control measures for dengue fever. Methods The epidemiological data of dengue cases reported in Shenzhen City in 2024 were extracted from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System and field epidemiological survey data of dengue fever in Shenzhen City, and the temporal, regional and population distributions of dengue fever cases, source of acquire dengue virus infections, disease diagnosis and treatment and outbreaks were analyzed. The dengue virus nucleic acid was tested and the serotypes of dengue virus were characterized using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay, and the dengue virus gene was sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS). In addition, the surveillance on the density of Aedes albopictus was performed using Breteau index (BI) and mosquito oviposition index (MOI). Results A total of 1 735 dengue fever cases were reported in Shenzhen City in 2024, including 952 local cases and 783 imported cases. Most imported dengue fever cases acquired infections from eight cities of Foshan, Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Dongguan, Zhaoqing, Huizhou, and Zhuhai in the Pearl River Delta region (664 cases, 84.8% of total imported cases) into Baoan, Longgang, and Nanshan districts. The epidemic exhibited an early onset and rapid progression, peaking during the period between September and November (1 632 cases, 94.1% of total cases), and dengue fever cases were distributed across 73 subdistricts in 10 districts, with most cases reported in densely populated central and western regions. The dengue fever cases had a male-to-female ratio of 1.9∶1.0, and a median age of 37 (21) years, with a higher median age among local cases than among imported cases [40 (20) years vs. 33(15) years; Z = -10.30, P < 0.05]. Housework, unemployment, workers, and business service were predominant occupations (1 405 cases, 81.0% of total cases), and there was a significant difference in the constituent ratio of occupations between local and imported cases (χ2 = 92.30, P < 0.05). Among the 1 735 dengue fever cases, the median duration from onset to definitive diagnosis was 3.3 (2.9) days, and 1 686 cases (97.2%) were identified in healthcare facilities, with a low rate of hospitalization and isolation seen in 1 701 inpatients with available epidemiological data (485 cases, 28.5% of total inpatients). A total of 29 outbreaks of dengue fever occurred in Shenzhen City across 2024, which primarily in construction sites (27 outbreaks, 93.1% of total). Dengue virus type I was the dominant serotype causing dengue fever in Shenzhen City in 2024. Sequencing showed that the genomes of dengue virus from multiple dengue fever cases in Shenzhen City shared a high sequence homology with those from cities neighboring Shenzhen City, and there might be intra-city transmission of dengue virus among multiple construction sites in Shenzhen City. The Aedes albopictus density was significantly higher in Shenzhen City in 2024 than in 2023, peaking from May to September. The annual MOI values ranged from 0.9 to 14.0, and the BI values ranged from 0.6 to 6.0. Conclusions The overall epidemic of dengue fever was severe in Shenzhen City in 2024, which was greatly affected by case importation from neighboring cities, construction sites-centered local transmission, and the effectives of routine mosquito vector control was not satisfactory. Integrated dengue fever control measures should be implemented, focusing on regional joint prevention and control mechanisms, capacity building for mosquito vector control, addressing challenges in epidemic containment at construction sites, and strengthening case detection and management systems.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of Glycyrrhiza inflata polysaccharides (GiP) and GiP-B1 on the maturation and anti-tumor effect of dendritic cell (DC). METHODS The immature DC (imDC) of hepatocellular carcinoma cell H22 tumor-bearing mice cultured in vitro were divided into control group, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) group, GiP group, and GiP-B1 group. The viability, positive expressions of surface markers (CD11c, CD80, CD86, MHC-Ⅱ), the levels of interleukin-12p70 (IL-12p70) and IL-4 in mature DC (mDC) of tumor-bearing mice were detected. mDC and CD4+T lymphocytes were co-cultured to generate CD4-cytotoxic T cell (CD4-CTL); stimulation index, the levels of IL-12p70, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-4 and IL-10, the killing activity of CD4-CTL to H22 cell were detected. mRNA expressions of IL-12, IL-12 receptor (IL-12R), signal transducer and activator of transcription-4 (STAT-4), as well as the protein expression of IL-12 receptor β2 (IL-12Rβ2), phosphorylation levels of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF- κB) p65 and STAT-4 proteins in mDC were detected after co-culture. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the viability of mDC, the positive expressions of MHC-Ⅱ, and the levels of IL-12p70 and IL-4 were increased significantly in GiP group and GiP-B1 group (P<0.05). The positive expressions of CD11c, CD80 and CD86 showed an increasing trend, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). After co-culturing, the stimulation index, the levels of IL-12p70 and IFN-γ were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 (except for the GiP group) were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the cytotoxicity against H22 cells was significantly enhanced (P<0.05). mRNA expressions of IL-12 and IL-12R (except for GiP group) and STAT-4, protein expression of IL-12Rβ2 as well as phosphorylation levels of NF-κB p65 and STAT-4 protein were increased significantly in mDC (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS GiP and GiP-B1 have a good promoting effect on the maturation of DC in tumor-bearing mice, effectively stimulate CD4+T cell proliferation, enhance the anti-tumor activity of CD4-CTL,and its mechanism may be related to activating IL-12/NF-κB/ STAT-4 signaling pathway.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) comorbidity presents a myriad of symptoms and a complex pathogenesis, making the traditional diagnostic and treatment model of "using disease to treat syndrome" often inadequate in clinical practice. The concept of "syndrome-based treatment of disease" is rooted in the core thinking of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment, emphasizing the importance of syndrome as the guiding principle. This approach categorizes various diseases according to their corresponding syndrome categories for exploration, adhering to the principle of starting from the syndrome and addressing the disease thereafter, which highlights the advantages of TCM holistic view and syndrome differentiation and treatment. The pathogenesis of CHF is characterized by deficiency of both Qi and Yin, along with blood stasis, affecting organs such as the lung, spleen, and kidney, which in turn impacts the distribution and metabolism of body fluids. Dysfunction in body fluid regulation leads to stagnation, resulting in pathological products like phlegm and turbidity, which exacerbates syndromes of Yin deficiency and excessive heat. As the conditions of Yin deficiency and dryness-heat intensify, and as body fluid depletion continues, the patient's DM symptoms worsen, contributing to or aggravating the comorbidity. Following the diagnostic approach of "syndrome-based treatment of disease", TCM diagnosis and treatment of CHF and DM comorbidity should focus on the core pathogenesis of "deficient Qi retention". This study categorized CHF and DM comorbidity into four stages: A (comorbid risk period), B (precomorbid period), C (intermediate stage of comorbidity), and D (advanced comorbidity), proposing corresponding TCM syndrome types for each stage. In terms of treatment, adhering to the principle of "tonifying deficiency and relieving stagnation", the specific methods included invigorating Qi and strengthening the body, nourishing Yin and generating body fluids, activating blood circulation and Qi, and promoting diuresis and removing toxins. This study reviewed recent research progress on Chinese medicine compound prescriptions for CHF combined with DM, aiming to achieve precise treatment for both diseases and provide a scientific basis for the application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of CHF and DM comorbidity.
