Objective Isolated bilateral adrenal hematoma(BAH)without other intra-abdominal visceral injuries following trauma is extremely rare. We report a case and review the relevant diagnostic and management experience diagnosis and treatment experience. Case Presentation A 57-year-old male patient presented with systemic pain and discomfort four hours after-traffic collision. Computed tomography(CT)revealed bilateral adrenal contusions with hematoma formation. One week of symptomatic management—including bed rest, oxygen therapy, analgesia, antimicrobial treatment, and nutritional support—was administered. Follow-up abdominal CT demonstrated significant resolution of bilateral adrenal hematomas and surrounding fluid collection. The patient was discharged following rehabilitation therapy. Conclusion For such patients, thorough history-taking regarding past medical history is crucial. When adrenal injury is suspected, contrast-enhanced CT provides definitive diagnosis. Concurrent monitoring of adrenal hormone levels is essential. During bed rest, proactive measures to prevent bed-related complications are required, with long-term follow-up after-discharge.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd∶YAG) laser vitreolysis in the treatment of symptomatic vitreous opacity.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.Forty-four eyes of 44 patients diagnosed as physiological vitreous opacity in Shenzhen Eye Hospital from June 2021 to September 2022 and treated with Nd∶YAG laser vitreolysis were enrolled.Before treatment and 2 months after last treatment, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) evaluated with standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, floater areas calculated through infrared fundus photography, and objective scattering index (OSI) obtained by the Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS) were recorded.The occurrence of complications during the follow-up period was recorded.The differences in each indicator were compared, and a simple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between floater area and OSI.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Eye Hospital (No.2021-6-3).Patients were informed of the study methods and purposes.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:There was no significant difference in BCVA before and after Nd∶YAG laser vitreolysis ( t=-0.478, P=0.635).The floater area before laser treatment was (3.043±1.942)mm 2, which was significantly larger than (1.074±0.735)mm 2 after laser treatment ( t=0.769, P<0.001).The OSI before laser treatment was 1.976±0.975, which was significantly greater than 1.560±0.796 after laser treatment ( t=0.730, P<0.001).The results of linear regression analysis showed that the OSI=1.45+ 0.16× floater area ( F=5.681, P=0.020).No patient had visual acuity loss or intraocular pressure increase and no traumatic cataract or retinal damage occurred. Conclusions:After laser treatment, the floater area decreased, the OSI decreased, and the visual quality of patients improved.The OSI from OQAS Ⅱ and floater area can be used as quantitative evaluation indicators to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of Nd∶YAG laser vitreolysis.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which electroacupuncture improves ocular surface inflammation in dry eye mice.Methods 30 SPF-grade healthy male ICR mice were randomly divided into a blank group,a model group,a sham electroacupuncture group,a western medicine group and an electroacupuncture group,with 6 mice in each group.Mice in the blank group and other four groups were subcutaneously injected 200 μL of sterile physiological saline and 200 μL of scopolamine hydrobromide(0.5 mg dissolved in 0.2 mL of sterile physiological saline)at 8:00,11:00,14:00,and 17:00 every day for 35 consecutive days,respectively.From the 22nd day,mice in the sham electroacupunc-ture group were given blunt scalp acupuncture intervention at bilateral Jingming and Taiyang points,without subcutaneous penetration.In the western medicine group,fluorometholone eye drops were applied to both eyes of the mice at 8:00,13:00,and 18:00 daily,with 1 drop each time.Mice in the electroacupuncture group were given electroacupuncture in-tervention,with the same acupoint location and acupuncture time as the sham electroacupuncture group.The electroacu-puncture frequency was 2 Hz/20 Hz,the waves were sparse-dense and the intensity was 1 mA,once a day for 15 min.All groups were intervened for 14 days.The corneal fluorescein(FL)staining scores of mice in each group were detected be-fore modeling,after modeling,and after intervention.The corneal tissue morphology was observed under a light micro-scope.Immunohistochemistry staining and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)and receptor for advanced glyca-tion end products(RAGE)in the cornea,respectively.Results The FL scores of mice in model,sham electroacupunc-ture,western medicine,and electroacupuncture groups all significantly increased after modeling and intervention,com-pared with those before modeling(all P＜0.01).The FL scores of mice in electroacupuncture and western medicine groups significantly decreased after intervention,compared with those after modeling(both P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,electroacupuncture and western medicine groups showed a significant drop in FL score after intervention(both P＜0.01).HE staining showed that after intervention,mice in electroacupuncture and western medicine groups had a basically normal number of corneal epithelial layers,no obvious shedding of epithelial cells,and neatly arranged and slightly swollen collagen fibers in the stromal layer.The relative protein expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both model and sham electroacupuncture groups were significantly higher than those of the blank group(allP＜0.01).The rela-tive protein expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both electroacupuncture and western medicine groups were significantly lower than those of the model group(all P＜0.01).The relative mRNA expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both model and sham electroacupuncture groups were significantly higher than those of the blank group(all P＜0.01).The relative mRNA expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE in the corneal tissue of both electroacupuncture and western medicine groups were significantly lower than those of the model group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion Electroacupuncture mitigates corneal epithelial injury,reduces the expression of HMGB1 in the cor-neal tissue,inhibits the binding of HMGB1 and RAGE,and ultimately alleviates ocular surface inflammation responses of dry eye mice.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

In recent years, the field of genetics has witnessed a burgeoning interest in the non-coding region, an area previously dubbed the"dark matter"of the genome. This once enigmatic domain is now progressively revealing its secrets, emerging as a rich terrain for genetic diagnosis and treatment. This editorial centers on diverse diagnostic analyses and intervention techniques associated with the non-coding region, delving into its significance in the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of both monogenic and polygenic disorders within the nervous system. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive perspective for the exploration of genetic disorders in the nervous system.

Objective To observe the value of 5.0T MRI for quantifying proton density fat fraction(PDFF)of liver.Methods Liver chemical shift encoded(CSE)MR scanning were prospectively performed using 5.0T,3.0T and 1.5T scanner in 30 volunteers,respectively,and CSE-PDFF were measured.Then MR spectroscopy(MRS)were performed using 5.0T and 1.5T scanner,respectively,and MRS-PDFF were also measured.The consistency of liver PDFF measured on different images was observed,and the value of 5.0T MRI for liver PDFF was analyzed.Results The overall consistencies of liver CSE-PDFF measured with 5.0T,3.0T and 1.5T MR scanner were all good(all ICC＞0.75,all P＜0.001).The consistency of liver CSE-PDFF based on 5.0T and 3.0T,1.5T MR scanner were both good(ICC=0.989,0.992,both P＜0.001).The overall consistencies of CSE-PDFF based on 5.0T MR and MRS-PDFF based on 5.0T and 1.5T MR were both good(both ICC＞0.75,both P＜0.001).CSE-PDFF had good consistency with MRS-PDFF based on same 5.0T MR scanner(ICC=0.988,P＜0.001),and CSE-PDFF based on 5.0T had good consistency with MRS-PDFF based on 1.5T MR scanner(ICC=0.978,P＜0.001).Conclusion 5.0T MRI had high value for quantifying liver PDFF.
