AIM: To compare the clinical efficacy of goniosynechialysis versus trabeculectomy combined with cataract phacoemulsification in treating glaucoma complicated with cataract.METHODS:From January 2019 to January 2024, patients with glaucoma complicated with cataract diagnosed in our hospital were included as the study subjects. They were assigned into trabeculectomy group and goniosynechialysis group based on different surgical methods. The trabeculectomy group was treated with cataract phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy, while the goniosynechialysis group was treated with cataract phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis. The improvement of visual acuity, anterior chamber depth, chamber angle width, intraocular pressure, whole en face vessel density within the optic disc head and in the peripapillary region, and complications were compared between two groups.RESULTS: A total of 120 patients(120 eyes)with glaucoma combined with cataract were included in this study, among which 60 eyes were in the trabeculectomy group and 60 eyes in the goniosynechialysis group. The age of the trabeculectomy group was 60.72±6.16 years, including 28 males and 32 females. The age of the goniosynechialysis group was 61.04±6.24 years, including 31 males and 29 females. At 3 mo after surgery, the visual acuity of patients in both groups improved significantly, and the improvement of visual acuity in the goniosynechialysis group was significantly better than that in the trabeculectomy group(all P<0.01). At 3 mo after surgery, the anterior chamber depth and chamber angle width of patients in both groups were higher than those before surgery, and with the goniosynechialysis group being higher than the trabeculectomy group(all P<0.01), while the intraocular pressure was lower than that before surgery, and with the goniosynechialysis group being lower than the trabeculectomy group(all P<0.01). Before surgery, there was no significant difference in the whole en face vessel density within the optic disc head between the two groups(P>0.05), however, the whole en face vessel density within the optic disc head in both groups on 1 d after surgery were significantly lower than before surgery(all P<0.05); and compared with 1 d after surgery, there was a significant increase at 1 wk, 1, and 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05); the whole en face vessel density within the optic disc head in the goniosynechialysis group was significantly higher than that in the trabeculectomy group at various time points after surgery(all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the whole en face vessel density in the peripapillary region between the two groups before surgery and various time points after surgery(all P>0.05). Within 3 mo after surgery, the incidence of complications in the goniosynechialysis group(8.3%)was significantly lower than that in the trabeculectomy group(21.7%; P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Goniosynechialysis combined with phacoemulsification is more effective than trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification in the treatment of patients with glaucoma complicated with cataract in improving the visual acuity and whole en face vessel density within the optic disc head of patients, increasing the anterior chamber depth and chamber angle width, reducing intraocular pressure and the risk of complications. It has high safety and ideal short-term efficacy.

Objective To explore the risk factors of progression to dementia within 2 years in patients with recent subcortical small infarction (RSSI) complicated with cognitive dysfunction. Methods A total of 340 patients with RSSI complicated with cognitive dysfunction who were treated in the hospital and completed 2-year follow-up were selected from February 2021 to February 2025. According to whether the patients progressed to dementia, they were classified into dementia group (n=105) and non-dementia group (n=235). The clinical data were compared between both groups, and the independent risk factors were screened by Logistic regression analysis. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that history of hypertension (OR=1.919), history of diabetes mellitus (OR=1.597), multiple infarctions (OR=1.455), severe white matter lesions (OR=1.595), no cognitive function training (OR=1.923), increased infarct size (OR=1.069), reduced MMSE score (OR=0.945) and increased levels of NfL (OR=1.049) and IL-6 (OR=1.038) were independent risk factors for the progression to dementia (all P<0.05). Conclusion The progression to dementia in patients with recent subcortical small infarction and cognitive dysfunction is affected by multiple factors. In clinical practice, the integration of vascular risk factors, imaging features, cognitive assessment and serum biomarkers (NfL, IL-6) helps to construct an early risk prediction model and implement targeted interventions for high-risk groups.

Sichuan Province is a hilly schistosomiasis-endemic province in China with the highest endemicity and largest coverage. During the period of more than 70 years of integrated control, there are five distinct phases of schistosomiasis control in Sichuan Province, including baseline investigation, Oncomelania hupensis snail control, chemotherapy for both humans and livestock, management of source of Schistosoma japonicum infections, and sustained control and intensified surveillance and early warning, and a package of key interventions are implemented, including environmental modification, snail control with chemical treatment, large-scale chemotherapy for humans and livestock, management of source of S. japonicum infections, intensified integrated control, establishment of an early warning and surveillance system. As a result, schistosomiasis has been eliminated across all 63 disease-endemic counties (cities, districts) in Sichuan Province by June 2025. Government-led multi-sectoral collaborations, science and technology-supported precision control strategies, and a sustainable control model tailored to the ecological and socio-economic conditions in endemic regions are essential to achieving the target of schistosomiasis elimination in Sichuan Province.

This paper systematically analyzes schistosomiasis transmission risks during the elimination stage and reviews the evolution of the schistosomiasis surveillance system in China from a One Health perspective, with a special emphasis on schistosomiasis surveillance and response practices during the elimination stage from a One Health perspective. These practices include precise screening of human schistosomiasis under low-endemicity conditions, systematic monitoring of schistosomiasis in domestic and wild animals, ecological management of Oncomelania snails, and information-coordinated responses. Nevertheless, the current surveillance and response system for schistosomiasis suffers from challenges of insufficient cross-sectoral coordination and complex external environments, which constrain precise schistosomiasis surveillance and response in China. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to integrate coordination mechanisms, empower the surveillance system with technological innovation, improve capacity building, and actively promote diverse social participation in the One Health framework, so as to consolidate current schistosomiasis control achievements and achieve the target for schistosomiasis elimination across China, which may provide a replicable technical model for global zoonoses control.

Objective: To investigate the effects of platelet-derived PD-L1 released during storage on T cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine expression. Methods: Apheresis platelets were stored with agitation at 22℃. Platelet supernatant was collected on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 of storage, and then co-cultured with human CD4
and CD8
mixed T cells isolated by magnetic bead sorting. CCK8 assay was used to detect T cell proliferation; flow cytometry was applied to determine T cell apoptosis as well as the expression levels of IFN-γ and GZMB. Additionally, Western blot was employed to examine alterations in downstream signaling molecules of the PD-1 receptor. Results: With the prolongation of platelet storage time, the inhibitory effect of platelet storage medium on T cell proliferation was gradually enhanced, accompanied by suppressed expression of IFN-γ and GZMB, whereas the apoptosis level of T cells increased progressively. Treatment with PD-1 antibody or PD-L1 antibody partially blocked the regulatory effects of platelet storage medium on T cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the expression of IFN-γ and GZMB. Western blot results showed that the phosphorylation levels of p-SHP1 and p-SHP2 were significantly upregulated, whereas p-AKT expression was downregulated in T cells co-cultured with platelet storage medium. Intervention with PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody could partially reverse the above changes in protein expression. Conclusion: During platelet storage, platelet-derived PD-L1 in the storage medium promotes T cell apoptosis and inhibits T cell proliferation as well as the expression of related cytokines in a time-dependent manner. Therefore, platelet-derived PD-L1, as an important immune regulatory mediator, may be involved in transfusion-related immunomodulation (TRIM).

Objective To analyze the relationship between abnormal expression of serum neurohemoglobin(NGB)and myelin basic protein(MBP)and the cerebral neurodevelopment of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods A total of 89 preterm infants with HIE admitted in the hospital between January 2023 and March 2024 were selected as the observation group,and 60 preterm infants without HIE during the same period were selected as the control group.Serum levels of MBP,NGB and secretagogues in two groups were detected,and the neonates amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was evaluated.The neurological function of neonates was evaluated using 20 items of Neonatal Behavioral Neurological As-sessment(NBNA).The correlation test and diagnostic value were evaluated using Spearman method and re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue in the ob-servation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencepha-logram score was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The serum MBP,NGB and secretagogue levels in the mild,moderate,and severe groups increased sequentially(P<0.05),NBNA score and amplitude integration e-lectroencephalogram score decreased sequentially(P<0.05).The levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue were the risk factors affecting NBNA score(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was a protective factor affecting NBNA score(P<0.05).The area under the curve of NGB and MBP in diag-nosing HIE was greater than 0.8,which had high application value.Conclusion Serum NGB and MBP levels are closely related to the severity of HIE,and have certain connection with NBNA score.Elevated levels of NGB and MBP in neonates with HIE may be related to the body's stress response to nerve damage,which could reflect to some extent the brain nerve function damage in with HIE.

Objective To develop and validate a scoring system to predict the possibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) conversion to laparotomy based on preoperative clinical data, and to establish a grading management model of surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 9 414 patients who underwent LC at Renhe Hospital and Huashan Hospital from June 2013 to June 2018. The patients were divided into two groups: the LC group (9 246 patients who successfully underwent LC) and the conversion to laparotomy group (168 patients who required conversion to open surgery). The data of two groups were compared, and the risk factors affecting conversion to laparotomy were screened out by single factor analysis of Chi-square test. Then, the risk factors were analyzed by multiple Logistic regression, and the pre-coefficient of each variable of the risk factors was assigned according to the established conversion to laparotomy possibility function. After calculating the score of each case, the difference in the actual conversion rate of each group was compared. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated to evaluate the performance of the scoring system. According to the scoring system, LC surgical grading management model was created and verified. Results The following factors were identified as significant risk factors for conversion to laparotomy (P < 0.001): body temperature ≥ 38.5℃, frequency of acute cholecystitis ≥3 times, maximum thickness of gallbladder wall ≥ 5 mm, gallbladder neck stone incarceration, diameter of common bile duct ≥8 mm, and surgical experience ≤50 cases were the risk factors for conversion to laparotomy (P < 0.001). A score >3 points was associated with a high risk of conversion to laparotomy. Conclusions The LC scoring system and surgical grading management are reliable and effective tools for predicting and reducing the conversion rate of LC to laparotomy.

The "integrated time-space" perspective of life in traditional Chinese medicine holds that structure and function respectively belong to the realms of space and time. The orderly integration of time and space not only supports the existence and development of life, but also serves as the foundation for biological evolution. Based on this standpoint, this paper proposes the spatiotemporal structural theory of visceral manifestation, characterized by the fusion of time and space, the integration of internal and external dimensions, and the absence of primary or secondary distinctions. Using the individual human body as the boundary, it delineates the man and nature spatiotemporal structure, based on the theory of the "correspondence between man and nature", and the internal spatiotemporal structure of the living body. The man and nature spatiotemporal structure, with yin-yang and the five phases as its core, reveals the correspondence and connectivity between the external environment and the internal zang-fu organs within the spatiotemporal dimension. The internal temporal structure of the body refers to the collective physiological rhythms related to the zang-fu organs, while the spatial structure refers to the tangible forms, spatial positions, and connective structures of the zang-fu organs. The proposal of the spatiotemporal structural theory of visceral manifestation represents a rational reconstruction and practical exploration of the essential connotations of visceral manifestation, aiming to provide new perspectives for subsequent theoretical research and clinical applications.
