AIM:To investigate the effect of 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops on tear film homeostasis in patients wearing overnight orthokeratology lenses.METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 340 patients(564 eyes)fitted with night-worn orthokeratology lenses from June to December 2022 were respectively divided into a diquafosol sodium group(200 cases, 323 eyes, treated with 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops)and a sodium hyaluronate group(140 cases, 241 eyes, treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops). The uncorrected visual acuity(LogMAR), ocular surface disease index(OSDI), non-invasive tear film break-up time(NIBUT), meibomian gland infrared imaging score, and corneal epithelial fluorescein staining were analyzed and compared between the two groups.RESULTS:Compared to baseline, both groups showed significant improvements in uncorrected visual acuity(LogMAR)at 1 wk, 1, and 3 mo after lens wear(all P<0.01). However, no statistically significant difference in uncorrected visual acuity(LogMAR)was observed between the two groups at any time point(all P>0.05). No significant differences in NIBUT or OSDI scores were found between the groups before and at 1 wk after lens wear(all P>0.05). At the 1- and 3 mo follow-ups, the 3% diquafosol sodium group demonstrated significantly longer NIBUT(all P<0.001)and lower OSDI scores(all P<0.001)compared to the sodium hyaluronate group. After wearing lens for 3 mo, the meibomian gland infrared imaging scores were significantly better in the diquafosol sodium group(P<0.001), whereas no significant intergroup difference was observed in corneal fluorescein staining(P>0.05). Furthermore, the incidence of adverse events during the study period did not differ significantly between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Compared with sodium hyaluronate, 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops were more effective in maintaining tear film homeostasis in patients wearing overnight orthokeratology lenses.

Objective:s To investigate the risk factors for delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) and to develop predictive models based on machine learning algorithms.Methods:Patients with ACOP hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2019 to October 2024 were included, with the occurrence of DEACMP as the outcome measure. The dataset was randomly divided into training and validation sets at a ratio of 7:3. Lasso regression was used to select features influencing the outcome in training sets. Nine machine learning models—including Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—were constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) calculated for each model. Calibration curves were used to assess accuracy, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate clinical utility. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was employed to visualize and interpret the best-performing model.Results:A total of 264 ACOP patients were included, of whom 54 (20.5%) developed DEACMP. Lasso regression identified eight key feature variables. Based on these factors, predictive models were constructed, showing good AUC stability across the nine machine learning models in both training (0.92–0.99) and validation sets (0.85–0.91). The RF model performed best, with an AUC of 0.99 in the training set and 0.90 in the validation set; its calibration curve and DCA curve also demonstrated excellent performance. SHAP analysis of the RF model revealed the importance ranking of factors from highest to lowest as follows: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, duration of coma, age, history of coronary heart disease, CK-MB level, monocyte count, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and drinking history.Conclusions:The RF model exhibited the highest predictive performance for DEACMP occurrence in ACOP patients. The influencing factors, ranked in order of importance from highest to lowest, are as follows: GCS score, duration of coma, age, history of coronary heart disease, CK-MB level, monocyte count, DBP, and drinking history.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasonic bone scalpel in nasal osteotomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from the patients who received ultrasonic bone scalpel-assisted nasal osteotomy in the Nasal Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Department, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College between January 2023 and April 2024. All patients underwent open lateral approach osteotomy using an ultrasonic bone scalpel under direct vision, combined with augmentation rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage grafting. Intraoperatively, the nasal dorsum was fully exposed, and the lateral nasal cartilage was separated from the nasal septum, followed by precise bone tissue incision using the ultrasonic bone scalpel. Parameters recorded included operative time, and postoperative complications. Based on the standardized photographs taken before the operation and during the 6-month follow-up after the operation, the observer global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) was evaluated by a third-party doctor, with a score ranging from 1 to 5. The smaller the score, the more significant the improvement compared to before the operation. The satisfaction of patients with the surgical outcome was evaluated and classified into four levels: very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, and very dissatisfied.Results:A total of 25 female patients were enrolled, aged 20 to 38 years, with an average age of 27.1 years. All procedures were completed successfully, with a mean operative time of (25.4±4.2) minutes. Postoperative localized swelling of varying degrees was observed. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 18 months, with nasal contour and curvature stabilizing by 6 months postoperatively. No complications, such as infection, nasolacrimal duct, lacrimal sac, medial canthal ligament, nerve injuries, or sensory disturbances, were reported. Two cases exhibited mild nasal bone widening at the 6-month follow-up, though no surgical revision was requested. Significant improvement in external nasal morphology was achieved in all patients, with high satisfaction rates. The patients satisfaction survey showed that 18 cases (72%) were very satisfied and 7 cases (28%) were satisfied with the surgical outcome. GAIS scores reflected positive evaluations [(1.24±0.51) points].Conclusion:The ultrasonic bone scalpel for nasal osteotomy offers the advantages of high-precision cutting and efficient hemostasis. It is highly effective in reshaping the nasal contour, with shorter osteotomy time, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and a lower postoperative complication rate. This study provides some insights into plastic surgeons in optimizing nasal bone modification strategies.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA)on management of hospi-tal-associated infections(HAIs)in hemodialysis center.METHODS In Nov.2023,the risk priority number(RPN)integrated with action priority(AP)was adopted to identify,analyze and evaluate the risk factors in man-agement of HAIs in hemodialysis center of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College,Huazhong Uni-versity of Science and Technology by FMEA method.The high risk points that needed to be taken interventions were screened out,and the targeted measures were formulated to control the risks.At the end of the intervention period,a second round of risk assessment was carried out for improvement status of the high-risk points in Nov.2024,and the effect on the management of HAIs was evaluated.RESULTS The risk assessment was carried out for 48 risk points covering eight aspects,including organizational structure,self-inspection and supervision,staff management,environmental layout,cleaning and disinfection,surveillance,operation procedures and i-tem management.There were 9 risk points with the RPN values greater than 125,3 of which were with the AP value of"H".There were 8 risk points with the RPN value less than 125 and 6 risk points with the AP value drop-ping down to L after the targeted intervention measures were taken,indicating that the risk management has a-chieved favorable effect.CONCLUSIONS The RPN and AP integrated with FMEA can accurately identify the high-risk points in the quality management of the hemodialysis center.It is necessary to take targeted interven-tion measures so as to boost the effect on prevention and control of HAIs in the hemodialysis center and reduce the risk of HAIs in the hemodialysis patients.

Objective: To investigate the environmental contamination of norovirus in nurseries and primary/secondary schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control measures. Methods: A total of 483 external environmental samples were collected from 34 cluster outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools in Linhai City from 2021 to 2024. Pathogen detection was conducted using a rapid nucleic acid extraction kit and realtime fluorescence RT-PCR, and the results were analyzed using the χ2 test or Fishers exact test. Results: Among the collected external environmental samples, the total positive rate of surface contamination was 13.66%. The positive rates in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools were 12.20% and 15.82%, respectively. In kindergartens, the five surfaces with the highest detection rates were desks/chairs (23.33%), toilet stool troughs (20.69%), urinal troughs (12.00%), washbasins/sinks (11.11%), and toilet mops (9.38%). In primary/secondary schools, the top five were toilet stool troughs (38.30%), urinal troughs (23.53%), toilet door handles (13.04%), toilet mops (12.50%), and drinking cups (11.11%). The difference in positive detection rates among different external environments in primary/secondary schools was statistically significant (Fishers exact probability test, P<0.01). The positive detection rate in sanitary toilets was higher than that in classroom environments (χ2=17.38), while the positive detection rate in classroom environments of kindergartens was higher than that in primary/secondary schools (χ2=5.42)(P<0.05). Conclusions Norovirus exhibits a high contamination rate in nurseries and schools, particularly in restroom areas. Strengthening sanitation and disinfection in highrisk environments, and improving hygiene awareness among children and staff, are essential for the effective prevent and control of norovirus.

Objective To describe and evaluate the clinical studies of postoperative pain sensitization caused by sleep deprivation through the evidence map system,understand the distribution of evidence in this field,and provide reference for subsequent evidence research.Methods A computer-based search of PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane library,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from inception to August 2023 was conducted to obtain intervent ion studies,observational studies and systematic reviews/Meta-analysis of postoperative pain sensitization caused by sleep deprivation.The research characteristics and methodological quality were analyzed and evaluated.The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews,the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS)and the AMSTAR-2 scale were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies,and the evidence was comprehensively analyzed and displayed by means of bubble chart,table and text.Results A total of 35 observational studies(31 cohort studies and 4 case-control studies),15 randomized controlled trials and 4 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses were included.The number of publications increased rapidly after 2018 and peaked in 2022,and clinical studies in this field mainly fo-cused on cohort studies,with fewer randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews/Meta-analysis studies.The results of the evidence map showed that in terms of quality,22 studies were'high quality',24 studies were'medium quality',and 8 studies were'low quality'.Thirty studies showed that sleep deprivation could induce postoperative pain sensitization.Only 2 studies suggested that sleep disorders were not significantly asso-ciated with postoperative pain sensitization,and ten studies were uncertain whether sleep deprivation could in-duce postoperative pain sensitization.Conclusions Overall evidence shows that sleep deprivation can induce postoperative pain sensitization,but the evaluation dimensions are limited and the methodological quality of the included literature needs to be improved.More high-quality,large-sample and standardized clinical studies should be carried out in the future to provide better scientific basis for clinical work.

Objective:To determine the clinical issues in the Clinical practice guidelines for postoperative pain management in adults (2024 edition).

The overall positive coefficient of expert participation in the surveys was 78.9%. Through two rounds of the Delphi method and based on the screening criteria of a mean score ≥3.5, coefficient of variation ≤30%, and full score ratio ≥30%, 17 clinical issues were ultimately included following an expert consensus meeting.Conclusions:Through the Delphi method and rigorous quality control, the clinical issues in the Clinical practice guidelines for postoperative pain management in adults (2024 edition) are determined, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the guidelines.

Objective:To evaluate the association between body temperature and duration of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) among patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods:Clinical data from patients, aged >18 yr, undergoing primary isolated CABG, between 2008 and 2019, were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Ⅳ version 2.0 database. Participants were stratified into 3 groups based on the mean body temperature in ICU: hypothermia group (<36.0 ℃), normothermia group (36.0 ℃ ≤ temperature <37.3 ℃), and hyperthermia group (≥37.3 ℃). Multivariable linear regression and linear curve fitting were performed to assess the association between body temperature and duration of mechanical ventilation.Results:A total of 4, 588 patients were finally included in the statistical analysis, including 133 cases in hypothermia group, 4, 177 cases in normothermia group and 278 cases in hyperthermia group. The duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly prolonged in both hypothermia and hyperthermia groups compared with normothermia group ( P<0.05). The results of multivariable linear regression demonstrated that each 1 ℃ increase in body temperature was associated with a 2.43 h reduction in the duration of mechanical ventilation in hypothermia group ( P<0.001), and each 1 ℃ temperature elevation corresponded to a non-significant reduction of 0.12 h in hyperthermia group ( P=0.851). The results of linear curve fitting revealed a U-shaped relationship between body temperature and duration of mechanical ventilation, and an inflection point was identified at 36.71 ℃, with duration of mechanical ventilation prolonged with temperatures either below or above this threshold ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hypothermia during ICU stay following CABG may lead to prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients.

Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism of miR-4508 regulating the inflammatory response of human bronchial epithelial cells induced by representative chrysotile asbestos.Methods:The chrysotile asbestos was ground into ultrafine dust using a horizontal planetary instrument, and human bronchial epithelium (16HBE) cells were taken as the object of infection. Cell survival rate was detected by cell counting kit-8 method, cytotoxicity was detected by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) kit. The released of inflammatory factor IL-6 was detected by electrochemical luminescence. The released inflammatory factor IL-8 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression level of miR-4508 was screened and verified by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. After 16HBE cells were treated with AKT inhibitor MK2206, the phosphorylation levels of AKT and PTEN were detected by western blot. The expression levels of AKT and PTEN and the contents of IL-6 and IL-8 were detected in miR-4508 overexpression and interference experiments.Results:With the increase of chrysotile asbestos exposure concentration, the cell survival rate decreased in a concentration-dependent manner, and the LDH content gradually increased. The secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 in chrysotile 25, 50 and 75 μg/ml groups were (325.92±8.61) pg/ml, (331.51±4.96) pg/ml, (378.74±13.77) pg/ml, and (94.95±3.11) pg/ml, (357.60±1.80) pg/ml, (537.19±3.11) pg/ml, respectively, while the group with 0 μg/ml chrysotile was (95.85±1.20) pg/ml and (7.81±0.00) pg/ml ( P＜0.05). In addition, chrysotile asbestos exposure to 16HBE could induce the high expression of miR-4508 . After pretreatment with MK2206, the phosphorylation levels of AKT and PTEN were decreased, the contents of IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly decreased, and the expression level of miR-4508 was significantly reduced. Overexpression of miR-4508 significantly increased the expressions of AKT and PTEN, and the contents of IL-6 and IL-8 ( P＜0.01). After interfering with miR-4508, the expressions of AKT and PTEN were significantly decreased, and the contents of IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly decreased ( P＜0.01). Conclusions:Chrysotile asbestos can induce the inflammatory response of 16HBE cells and up-regulate the expression level of miR-4508. The up-regulation of miR-4508 promotes the 16HBE inflammatory response induced by chrysotile asbestos through the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Objective To construct YOLOv10 based artificial intelligence(AI)models for the automatic detection in small bowel capsule endoscopy(SBCE)images.Methods SBCE data from two centers was collected,including 23 115 images and 35 412 annotated labels covering 11 categories of small bowel lesions.The images were annotated using the LabelMe tool and converted into the YOLO format required for deep learning model development.The pre-trained YOLOv10 and YOLOv8 models were used for transfer learning training on the constructed dataset.Model performance was comprehensively evaluated using metrics such as precision,accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,false-positive rate,and detection speed.Finally,the models were deployed on local computers for real-time detection of SBCE images and videos.Results Six different versions of YOLO object detection models were developed,namely YOLOv8n,YOLOv8s,YOLOv8m,YOLOv10n,YOLOv10s,and YOLOv10m.On the validation set,YOLOv10s model achieved the best mAP50(0.795);although its inference latency was not the fastest(4.803 ms/img),it met the requirements for clinical application.On the test set,YOLOv10s performed well,with an accuracy of 92.69%,a sensitivity of 89.23%,and a false-positive rate of 4.78%.Especially,in category-specific inference,the highest sensitivity was for"bleeding"at 96.41%,while the lowest was for"narrowing"at 82.29%.Conclusion The model constructed based on YOLOv10 neural network can rapidly and accurately detect and classify various small bowel lesions,exhibiting significant clinical application potential.
