All screened pre-school children completed vision screening and comprehensive ophthalmic examination.RESULTS: A total of 4 989 children under 6 years old were screened out, including 2 641 males and 2 348 females. They were divided into 6 groups according to age: 426 aged from 6-month to 1-year-old, 903 aged >1 to 2 years old, 1 078 aged >2 to 3 years old, 442 aged >3 to 4 years old, 808 aged >4 to 5 years old, and 1 332 aged >5 to 6 years old. The abnormal rate in the 6-month to 1-year-old group was 44.60%, in the >1 to 2 years old group was 26.02%, in the >2 to 3 years old group was 15.58%, in the >3 to 4 years old group was 10.86%, in the >4 to 5 years old group was 21.91%, in the >5 to 6 years old group was 23.27%, and the total refractive abnormal rate for children aged 6 mo to 6 years old was 22.61%. The refractive abnormal rate generally showed a decreasing trend with increasing age(P<0.001); the refractive abnormal rate in boys aged 6-month to 6 years old was 12.33%, and in girls was 10.28%, with no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rate between boys and girls(P>0.05); among children aged 6-month to 6 years old, the abnormal rate of single-eye myopia was 0.98%, of single-eye hyperopia was 5.41%, of single-eye astigmatism was 9.92%, of binocular myopia was 0.98%, of binocular hyperopia was 2.79%, and of binocular astigmatism was 8.14%; the prevalence of astigmatism in children aged 6-month to 1-year-old was 40.38%, in those aged >1 to 2 years old was 19.82%, in those aged >2 to 3 years old was 12.34%, in those aged >3 to 4 years old was 9.05%, in those aged >4 to 5 years old was 18.81%, and in those aged >5 to 6 years old was 16.89%; the prevalence of astigmatism in children aged 6-month to 6 years old was 18.06%. The abnormal rate of astigmatism in the four age groups ranging from 6-month to 4 years old decreased continuously with age(P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rate of astigmatism between the >4 to 5 years old group and the >5 to 6 years old group(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Refractive error has become a common eye disease among preschool children. Through early vision screening, establishing a systematic refractive management file, and early intervention, the best treatment period can be seized to avoid missing it and causing adverse consequences.

BACKGROUND:Periprosthetic fracture of the femoral of the knee after total knee arthroplasty is one of the common complications,and there is a lack of biomechanical research on the periprosthetic fractures of the femoral of the knee under different bone strength conditions.The three-dimensional finite element analysis can provide a biomechanical basis for clinical practice. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanical changes of anterior femoral notching after total knee arthroplasty under different bone strengths,and to provide a mechanical basis for the clinical prevention of supracondylar femoral periprosthetic fractures after knee arthroplasty. METHODS:The femoral CT data of healthy adults were obtained,and the three-dimensional model of femoral lateral replacement of the knee joint was established by Mimics,Geomagic studio,and Solidworks software.Anterior femoral notching models of different depths were constructed,and the models were imported into ANSYS software to analyze the changes of biological stress on the femoral condyle with different bone strengths and different anterior femoral notching depths.The stress changes of the femoral anterior condyle section after and before the filling of anterior femoral notching with bone cement were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Under any bone strength,the supracondylar stress increased with the depth of anterior femoral notching.In normal bone conditions,there was a stress abrupt change point when the anterior femoral notching depth was between 3 mm and 4 mm.In the case of osteoporosis,there was a stress abrupt point when the anterior femoral notching depth was between 2 mm and 3 mm.(2)When anterior femoral notching occurred during knee arthroplasty and the depth exceeded the thickness of the bone cortex,the supracondylar stress of the femoral gradually increased as the bone strength decreased.(3)The stress of the anterior femoral condyle section decreased when the model with an anterior femoral notching depth of 3 mm was filled with bone cement.(4)The results show that anterior femoral notching should be avoided during knee arthroplasty,especially in patients with osteoporosis.If anterior femoral notching occurs during surgery,bone cement can be used to evenly fill the anterior femoral notching to reduce the supracondylar stress of the femur and reduce the incidence of periprosthetic fractures of the femoral joint

Department of Kidney Transplantation, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University reported a case of vasoplegic syndrome (VS). During a livingdonor kidney transplantation, the patient developed abrupt hypotension immediately after allograft reperfusion, with blood pressure dropping to 50/30 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The diagnosis of VS was confirmed through multidisciplinary consultation, integration of clinical indicators, and ultrasonographic assessment. Management included vasopressor therapy (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine), fluid resuscitation, blood transfusion, and albumin administration. Hemodynamics were subsequently stabilized, and kidney allograft function returned to normal. At more than three months of followup, both kidney function and blood pressure remained stable.

OBJECTIVE To screen for GJB2,mitochondrial DNA12S rRNA 1555A>G and SLC26A4 gene mutations in 27 non syndromic hereditary hearing loss families,clarify the genetic causes.METHODS 125 members from 27 deaf families were for questionnaire surveys,audiological examinations,and peripheral blood DNA extraction.The GJB2,SLC26A4,and mitochondrial DNA A1555G coding regions were amplified and directly sequenced.RESULTS Twelve families and 52 individuals were screened for deafness gene mutations,the detection rate in 27 families was 44%(12/27),and the detection rate in all the members was 42%(52/125).The detection rate of gene mutation for GJB2 is 31%(39/125),for SLC26A4 is 6%(8/125),and for mitochondrial DNA1555A>G mutation is 4%(5/125).CONCLUSION GJB2,SLC26A4 and mitochondrial A1555G have a high detection rate in families with hereditary deafness.Mutation screening of these three genes can clarify the genetic causes of most deafness families and can be used as genetic screening targets for hereditary deaf families.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of irradiation-incorporated and chemotherapy only-based myeloablative conditioning regimens in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for patients with high-risk myeloid malignancies.Methods:This study retrospectively collected clinical data from 63 high-risk acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (AML/MDS) patients who underwent haplo-HSCT at the Fifth Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. These patients were classified into the irradiation ( n = 17) and chemotherapy ( n = 46) groups based on different conditioning regimens. The differences between the two groups were compared in terms of hematopoietic reconstitution, cumulative incidence of acute/chronic graft-versus-host diseases (aGVHD and cGVHD), non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse rate (RR), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS), followed by the analysis of prognostic factors. Results:The median follow-up time for the irradiation and chemotherapy groups was 78.5 and 72.3 months, respectively. The median time for neutrophil engraftment was 14.0 days in the irradiation group and 14.5 d in the chemotherapy group, and for platelet engraftment was 15.0 and 13.0 d, respectively. As a result, the two groups showed no statistically significant differences in hematopoietic reconstitution ( P > 0.05). The cumulative incidence of aGVHD and cGVHD was higher in the irradiation group compared to the chemotherapy group, yet showing no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Specifically, the cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD within 100 d was 29.4% and 21.7% for the irradiation and chemotherapy groups, respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD was 23.5% and 13.0%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of severe cGVHD within five years was 11.8% in the irradiation group and 8.7% in the chemotherapy group. In terms of long-term survival, the cumulative 5\|year RR and NRM were 20.2% and 28.4% in the irradiation group, 5.9% and 23.9% in the chemotherapy group, respectively, showing no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). The 5-year DFS and OS rates were 73.9% and 47.7% in the irradiation group, and 81.1% and 54.4% in the chemotherapy group, respectively, without statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Notably, the irradiation group manifested more favorable DFS and OS survival curves compared to the chemotherapy group. The survival curves indicate that the irradiation-incorporated regimen exhibited better trends in OS, DFS, and cGVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS). However, multivariate analysis did not reveal that irradiation conditioning is an independent prognostic factor affecting survival [ HR = 0.532 (0.163-1.735), 0.370 (0.091-1.516), 0.683 (0.248-1.882), P > 0.05]. Conclusions:In haplo-HSCT for high-risk myeloid malignancies, the irradiation-incorporated conditioning regimen demonstrates lower RR and NRM, higher DFS and OS, and potentially superior survival outcomes compared to the chemotherapy only-based regimen. Therefore, the irradiation-incorporated conditioning regimen may be preferentially considered in haplo-HSCT.

Glaucoma is a multifactorial degenerative optic neuropathy, and its irreversible and blinding pathological characteristics mainly come from the damage to the optic nerve, namely glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON). The difficulty in the treatment of GON lies in the early intervention, and currently there is no optic neuroprotective drug for the treatment of all types of GON. The death of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)is the core pathological change caused by various pathogenic mechanisms of GON. Recent studies have found that the widespread second messenger cyclic adenosine 3', 5' -monophosphate(cAMP)and its downstream effector protein kinase A(PKA)signal cascade play an important role in the pathogenesis of GON. It can also inhibit the apoptosis of RGCs and play a protective and therapeutic role in glaucoma. Therefore, this article reviews the role of cAMP/PKA pathway in the pathophysiological development of GON, focusing on its effects on glaucoma intraocular pressure regulation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and optic nerve degeneration, in order to find a common central regulatory target for the optic nerve damage caused by different pathological mechanisms of GON and promote the further understanding and clinical treatment of this disease.

Based on the theory of the five-body constituents from Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic), the approach and methods of acupuncture for facial aging are explored. Acupuncture for facial aging can be guided by the concept of the five-body constituents, targeting the facial "skin, flesh, vessels, tendons, and bones", and utilizing five different types of needles-facial needles, needle knives, filiform needles, retaining needles, and elongated needles and filiform needles-to maximize their respective advantages in treating facial aging. Facial needles are applied to the "skin" by selecting facial acupoints or local ashi points (at wrinkle or pigmentation sites). Needle knives are used for the "flesh" to perform longitudinal dredging and transverse dissection of the facial muscle layers. Filiform needles target the "vessels" with needling at Renying (ST9) to improve facial complexion. Retaining needles act on the "tendons" with needling from Taiyang (EX-HN5) to Xiaguan (ST7), and Jiache (ST6) to Daying (ST5), using clockwise twisting to generate a retaining needle sensation and lifting to achieve an overall facial lifting effect.

Objective To establish a stable and reproducible animal model of abdominal intestinal firearm penetrating injury in a cold high-altitude environment.Methods Twenty landrace pigs were randomly and equally assigned to a low-altitude normal temperature(LN)group and a high-altitude cold(HC)group.The HC group was placed in a cold environment at high altitudes,and the LN group was placed in a normal-temperature environment at low altitudes.They were raised for 48 hours respectively.After anesthesia,they were suspended on the shooting range,and the right lower abdomen of the experimental pigs was shot with a gun.After injury,they were simply bandaged and transported back to the laboratory for observation in the normal temperature environment of the low altitudes.The vital signs and injuries at 0,2,4,8,12 and 24 h and 24 h survival rates of experimental pigs were compared.Laparotomy was immediately performed on the dead pigs and the experimental pigs still alive at 24 h to explore the injuries and observe the pathology of the small intestine and colon.Results The 24 h survival rate of the HC group was 70％,with no statistically significant difference compared to the LN group's 90％(P＞0.05).After the injury,the body temperature of both groups gradually increased.The body temperature of the HC group was significantly higher than the LN group at 0,2,4 and 8 h time points(P＜0.001),and the LN group exceeded the HC group at 24 h(P＜0.05).Both groups showed an initial increase followed by a decrease in heart rate,with the HC group significantly higher than the LN group only at 0 h(P＜0.01),and no statistically significant differences were observed at other time points(P＞0.05).Both groups showed an early increase and later decrease in respiratory rate,with the HC group higher than the LN group at 0,4,8,12 and 24 h(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001).There was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)between the HC group and the LN group in small intestine rupture,small intestine contusion,mesenteric injury,colon rupture and wound diameter.The pathology of the small intestine and colon in the HC group showed extensive necrosis and shedding of the mucosa layer,severe congestion and edema of the submucosa,and extensive lymphocyte infiltration.The LN group also showed similar symptoms but to a lesser extent.Conclusion This study established a pig model of abdominal firearm intestinal perforation injury in a cold environment at high-altitudes.The model has strong operability and stable damage,which can provide a reference for subsequent research.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective To analyze changes in intestinal microbiota composition and metabolites in mice with nitrous oxide poisoning using 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolomics,and to examine correlations between gut microbes and metabolites in order to explore the mechanisms of nitrous oxide poisoning.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group and a nitrous oxide poisoning group(n=6).The poisoning group was exposed to 90,000 ppm nitrous oxide twice daily for 1 h over 28 days,while the control group was exposed to air.Fecal samples were collected 24 h after the last exposure.16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze structural differences in microbial communities and identify significantly different taxa.Metabolomics analysis was performed to detect changes in fecal metabolites and identify differential metabolites.Correlation analysis was conducted between differential microbiota and metabolites.Results 16S rDNA sequencing showed that the poisoning group had increased microbial abundance compared with controls,while species diversity remained unchanged.Significant differences were observed in gut microbiota structure between groups.Metabolomics identified 112 differential metabolites related to nitrous oxide poisoning,mainly involving the cAMP signaling pathway and sphingolipid metabolism.Spearman correlation analysis revealed a strong association between differential microbiota and differential metabolites.Conclusion Nitrous oxide poisoning alters the structure and metabolic profiles of intestinal microbiota.Changes in microbial abundance affect multiple metabolic pathways,which may be related to damage to the nervous and hematological systems.These findings provide a basis for further research on the mechanisms of nitrous oxide poisoning and for clinical treatment.
