Objective: To compare the Reveos automated blood processing system with the current method, and to evaluate the feasibility and validity of using the Reveos system for blood component preparation. Methods: Forty units of 400 mL whole blood samples were divided into two groups: 2C group (for two-component preparation) and 3C group (for three-component preparation). Each group was further divided into a Reveos subgroup and a control subgroup. Blood components were prepared using the Reveos system and the current centrifugation method respectively. The 2C group yielded suspended red blood cells and plasma, while the 3C group yielded suspended red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Key quality indicators for red blood cells, plasma, and platelets were measured before and after separation. Inter-group differences were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Results: The trend of changes in the main performance indicators of red blood cells, plasma, and platelets before and after separation was generally consistent between the Reveos group and the control group, with no significant differences for most performance indicators. The Reveos system outperformed the current method in several aspects: in the 3C group, the hematocrit (Hct) was significantly higher in the Reveos group than in the control group [(62.82%±1.64%) vs (53.62%±3.04)%, P<0.001]; the white blood cell count in red blood cell suspensions was significantly lower than that in the control group [(3.37±1.42)×10 /L vs (8.42±2.30)×10 /L, P<0.001]; plasma yield was 27.5% higher than that in the control group [(183.90±17.37) mL vs (144.28±20.53) mL, P<0.001]; and the platelet activation rate was significantly lower than that in the control group [(21.97±14.25)% vs (34.73±11.92)%, P=0.044]. Conclusion: The Reveos system demonstrates good consistency with the current method in preparing blood components, and outperforms the current method in terms of leukocyte reduction and red blood cell concentration.

AIM:To observe the effect of cationic nanoemulsion eye drops on the tear film and ocular surface morphology of orthokeratology wearers, and to provide a basis for the clinical selection of eye drops during orthokeratology wear. METHODS:A prospective study was conducted on patients with refractive errors who were fitted with orthokeratology lenses for the first time at Anhui Aier Eye Hospital,from February 2025 to October 2025. Patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group, which received a cationic nanoemulsion eye drops, or the control group, which received a 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops. One drop of the assigned lubricant was instilled in each eye before lens insertion and before lens removal in both groups for 3 consecutive months. Uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, anterior corneal curvature, tear film break-up time, tear film lipid layer score, and corneal fluorescein staining score were compared between the two groups at baseline and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after lens wear. RESULTS: A total of 64 eyes(all right eyes)from 64 patients with refractive errors were enrolled. Ultimately, 60 patients completed the final follow-up, including 30 in the experimental group(n=30; male/female: 14/16; age: 9.57±1.07 y)and the control group(n=30; male/female: 12/18; age: 9.43±1.01 y). No significant intergroup differences were found in uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, anterior corneal curvature, or corneal fluorescein staining scores either before or after lens wear(all P>0.05).The tear film break-up time was significantly longer and tear film lipid layer score was significantly better in the experimental group than in the control group at post-wear time point(all P<0.05). Uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, and anterior corneal curvature improved significantly from baseline at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after lens wear in both groups(all P<0.05). Corneal fluorescein staining scores increased significantly from baseline at 1 wk and 1 mo in the control group(both P<0.05), whereas no significant change was observed in the experimental group. No cases of severe corneal injury(score of 3)were found in either group. CONCLUSION: Cationic nanoemulsion eye drops have a similar effect to 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops in improving the visual acuity and corneal morphology of orthokeratology wearers, but have more advantages in stabilizing the tear film and improving the state of the tear film lipid layer, and have good safety, so they can be used as an ideal choice of eye drops for orthokeratology wearers.

Objective: To analyze resting state electroencephalography (EEG) theta/beta power ratio (TBR) and motor development characteristics in children aged 4-8 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and typically developing children, so as to examine the association between TBR in brain regions showing ADHD related differences and motor coordination ability. Methods: From July to September 2025, a total of 80 children aged 4-8 years were enrolled (40 in the ADHD group were recruited at Beijing Children s Hospital and 40 in the typically developing control group were recruited at a kindergarten and a primary school in Weifang). Three minute eyes open resting state EEG was collected to calculate TBR in the frontal, central, parietal, temporal, and occipital regions. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) and the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) were used to assess motor development. Between group comparisons were performed using t-test and analysis of covariance. Pearson correlation and partial correlation analyses were used to explore the relationships between regional TBR and motor development indicators; multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the predictive effect of regional TBR on motor development. Results: After adjustment, TBR in the frontal, central, parietal, and temporal regions was higher in the ADHD group than in the control group (all P <0.05). After adjustment, TGMD-3 object control skill scores (32.50±1.22 ，38.65±1.06) and total scores (71.05±1.98, 80.25±1.72), as well as MABC-2 fine motor (7.02±0.22, 8.96± 0.19), coordination (7.52±0.23, 8.40±0.20), balance (7.25±0.24, 8.98±0.21), and total scores (21.79±0.51, 26.34± 0.44 ), were lower in the ADHD group than in the control group ( F =6.85, 6.48, 22.50, 5.16, 13.75, 28.60, all P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that within the ADHD group, central and parietal TBR were negatively correlated with MABC-2 total score ( r = -0.32 , -0.34, both P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after controlling for sex, age, height, weight, and body mass index in children with ADHD, parietal TBR remained negatively associated with MABC-2 total score ( β =-0.21, P <0.05). Conclusion ADHD related cortical arousal characteristics in children aged 4-8 years may be associated with their motor deficits.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between expressions of serum procalcitonin (PCT), T-cell immunogloblin domain, mucin domain 4 (TIM-4) and prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia (SP) treated with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).Methods:Data of 497 patients with SP in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an University from June 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into good prognosis group [pneumonia severity index (PSI) score<90 points, 289 cases] and poor prognosis group (PSI score≥90 points, 208 cases) according to the prognosis status of patients at 30 days after admission. The clinical data [history of smoking, alcohol consumption, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, gender, age, body mass index, PSI score after 30 d of admission, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) after 14 days of treatment], serum PCT and TIM-4 levels were compared between both groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and t test was used for comparison between groups. Enumeration data were represented as n (%), and the composition ratio between groups was compared by χ2 test. The influencing factors of prognosis of BAL in the treatment of SP were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. ROC curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of serum PCT and TIM-4 on prognosis of BAL therapy. Results:Age (56.79±11.98) years, APACHEⅡscore (9.98±3.27) and CPIS score (6.54±1.81) in the good prognosis group were younger or lower than those in the poor prognosis group [(62.74±10.57) years, (13.06±4.25), (8.12±1.97)] ( t=5.734, 9.127, 9.250, respectively, P<0.001). The PCT (0.41±0.08) μg/L and TIM-4 (61.79±15.62) ng/L after treatment were higher in the poor prognosis group than those in the good prognosis group [(0.35±0.07) μg/L, (48.76±14.58) ng/L] ( t=8.876, 9.538, respectively, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that after excluding the interference effects of other factors, PCT ( OR=3.615, 95% CI: 1.641-7.964) and TIM-4 ( OR=4.047, 95% CI: 1.773-9.236) were influencing factors of prognosis in patients with SP receiving BAL therapy ( P=0.002, 0.001). ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value of PCT, TIM-4 and the combination of both in the diagnosis of prognosis of BAL therapy of SP were 0.782, 0.828 and 0.887 respectively, all of which had efficiency on predicting prognosis (all P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of combined prediction were 88.00% and 72.00%. Conclusion:The expressions of serum PCT and TIM-4 are closely related to the prognosis of SP patients receiving BAL. The PCT, TIM-4 and combination of both are of important reference value for prognosis prediction.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the feasibility and safety of implanting leadless pacemakers in the low septum and its impact on cardiac electrical synchronization.Methods:A total of 36 patients who received leadless pacemaker implantation at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2021 to August 2023 were included in this study.According to implantation sites of leadless pacemakers,patients were divided into mid-septal group(n=16)and low-septal group(n=20).The clinical characteristics and cardiac electrical synchronization were compared between the two groups.Results:There were 21 male patients,mean age was(68±13)years old.There was no statistical difference in the type of brady-arrhythmia between the two groups(P=0.73).There were 61 implant attempts in these 36 patients,and there was no significant difference in the number of attempts,procedure time,and pacemaker parameters between the two groups,but the average procedure time tended to be shorter in the low-septal group([84±37]minutes vs.[105±35]minutes,P=0.09).In terms of electrical synchronization,there was no statistical difference in QRS duration between the low-septal group and the mid-septal group([162.0±21.1]ms vs.[174.0±14.8]ms,P=0.20).There were no vascular puncture complications,cardiac perforation,or pericardial tamponade during the procedure.There were no complications and readmissions related to the leadless pacemaker during follow-up period.Conclusions:Our results show that the implantation of a leadless pacemaker in the low ventricular septum is safe and effective,has a similar impact on cardiac electrical synchronization as mid-septal pacing.

Objective:To share our experience of single-port transoral Da Vinci robotic surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal benign tumors.Methods:Three patients aged over 18 years and diagnosed respectively with epiglottic cyst, aryepiglottic fold cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst at tongue base were included who received operations in Hainan Hospital of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (Boao Research Hospital of Hainan) between August 1, 2023 and April 10, 2024. There were 1 male and 2 females, with an average age of 59 years old. The clinical diagnosis of these 3 patients was respectively epiglottic cyst, aryepiglottic fold cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst at tongue base. Intraoperative conversion rate, blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, pain score and swallowing function score were analyzed.Results:All three patients successfully underwent the operations with the single-port Da Vinci robotic system. The clean-contaminated resection rate of the tumors was 100%. The conversion rate was nil. The blood loss was 0-7 ml. The operation time was 5-30 minutes. There were no adverse events such as loosening of teeth and soft tissue abrasions of pharyngeal side wall. The rate of oral feeding within 24 hours after surgery was 100%. No postoperative coughing, bleeding, or dyspnea occurred. The average length of hospital stay was 3.7 days. The VAS score decreased 3 days after surgery compared to 1 day after surgery. The swallowing function recovered 1 month after surgery.Conclusion:The single-port transoral robotic surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal benign lesions is safe and efficient, with fewer complications.

Objective:To investigate the expression of SLIT2/ROBO1 in prostate cancer and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 100 cases of radical prostatectomy paraffin specimens at Department of Clinical Pathology, the average age of the patients was (71.8±7.8) years, the People?s Hospital of Baoan Shenzhen from January 2015 to December 2019 were collected and immunohistochemical staining was used to analyze the correlation between SLIT2/ROBO1 expression and clinicopathological features in prostate cancer.COX regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of biochemical recurrence in patients with prostate cancer after radical treatment.Prostate cancer cells PC3 and LNCaP were used as research objects, ROBO1 was silenced by small interfering RNA specific to human ROBO1, and its effect on the growth rate of prostate cancer was observed by CCK8 assay.Transwell cell migration and invasion assay was used to detect the effect of ROBO1 knock-down on the migration and invasion ability of prostate cancer cells.Protein immunoimprinting assay was used to detect the expression of TGF-β/SMAD pathway-related proteins after ROBO1 knockdown.Results:The expressions of SLIT2 and ROBO1 in prostate cancer were increased with the increase of prostate cancer Gleason score system (Gleason score) and International Society of Urology Pathology score (ISUP)( P<0.05). The expression was significantly up-regulated in prostate cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis ( P<0.01) and T3 stage.In addition, COX regression univariate analysis showed that age, preoperative PSA level, Gleason and ISUP scores, T stage, lymph node metastasis and ROBO1 protein expression status were correlated with postoperative biochemical recurrence.COX regression multivariate analysis showed that ROBO1 high expression, age, preoperative PSA value and T stagewere risk factors for the prognosis of prostate cancer ( P<0.05).The results of cell experiments showed that ROBO1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells.The expression of TGF-β/SMAD was decreased after ROBO1 knockdown and SLIT2/ROBO1 inhibitor (P144)treatment, respectively. Conclusions:The high expression of SLIT2 and ROBO1 is associated with the progression and differentiation of prostate cancer.The high expression of ROBO1 is a risk factor for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.At the same time, ROBO1 can inhibit the migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells by regulating the TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway.
