Objective To establish a hydraulic system model of the aqueous humor circulation in the human eye and explore the characteristics of aqueous humor flow and intraocular pressure changes under various types of glaucoma and surgical conditions.Methods A hydraulic system model of aqueous humor circulation was constructed using AMESim software based on ocular structural parameters to simulate the fluid dynamics of aqueous humor in three types of glaucoma and their surgical interventions.Results Significant elevation in intraocular pressure was observed with pathological changes such as trabecular meshwork obstruction,anterior chamber angle contraction,and narrowing of the iris-lens gap.Through simulations of surgical interventions,including trabeculectomy,iridectomy,and ciliary body ablation,aqueous outflow resistance was effectively reduced,leading to a controlled intraocular pressure.Conclusions By successfully simulating both the pathological conditions of glaucoma and the dynamic intraocular pressure changes under surgical interventions,the hydraulic system model accurately reflects the physiological characteristics of glaucoma.The model not only predicts the effects of therapeutic interventions,but also provides reliable simulation support for the diagnosis and optimization of treatment strategies for glaucoma.

Recent advances in large models demonstrate significant prospects for transforming the field of medical imaging. These models, including large language models, large visual models, and multimodal large models, offer unprecedented capabilities in processing and interpreting complex medical data across various imaging modalities. By leveraging self-supervised pretraining on vast unlabeled datasets, cross-modal representation learning, and domain-specific medical knowledge adaptation through fine-tuning, large models can achieve higher diagnostic accuracy and more efficient workflows for key clinical tasks. This review summarizes the concepts, methods, and progress of large models in medical imaging, highlighting their potential in precision medicine. The article first outlines the integration of multimodal data under large model technologies, approaches for training large models with medical datasets, and the need for robust evaluation metrics. It then explores how large models can revolutionize applications in critical tasks such as image segmentation, disease diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and real-time interactive systems, thus pushing the boundaries of traditional imaging analysis. Despite their potential, the practical implementation of large models in medical imaging faces notable challenges, including the scarcity of high-quality medical data, the need for optimized perception of imaging phenotypes, safety considerations, and seamless integration with existing clinical workflows and equipment. As research progresses, the development of more efficient, interpretable, and generalizable models will be critical to ensuring their reliable deployment across diverse clinical environments. This review aims to provide insights into the current state of the field and provide directions for future research to facilitate the broader adoption of large models in clinical practice.

Cancer represents a significant disease that profoundly impacts human health and longevity. Projections indicate a 47% increase in the global cancer burden by 2040 compared to 2020, accompanied by a further rise in the associated economic burden. Consequently, there is an urgent need to discover and develop new alternative drugs to mitigate the global impact of cancer. Natural products (NPs) play a crucial role in the identification and development of anticancer therapeutics. This study identified ustusolate E (UE) and its analog 11α-hydroxy-ustusolate E (HUE) from strain Aspergilluscalidoustus TJ403-EL05, and examined their antitumor activities and mechanisms of action. The findings demonstrate that both compounds significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of AGS (human gastric cancer cells) and 786-O (human renal clear cell carcinoma cells), induced irreversible DNA damage, blocked the cell cycle at the G₂/M phase, and further induced apoptosis in tumor cells. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report on the anticancer effects of UE and HUE and their underlying mechanisms. The present study suggests that HUE and UE could serve as lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.

【Objective】 To explore the safety of RhD-positive red blood cells (RBCs) immunization schedules in RhD-negative volunteers, so as to facilitate the development of domestic anti-D immunoglobulin. 【Methods】 From January 2018 to April 2020, 23 RhD negative volunteers with informed consent were enrolled and divided into initial immunization group and booster immunization group. The initial immunization included first immunization, second immunization and third immunization. Four groups, i. e. 3 cases of 20 mL, 8 of 30 mL, 6 of 40 mL, and 6 of 50 mL, were involved in initial immunization. After the initial immunization response, booster immunizations were performed every 3 months. According to the anti-D titer before each immunization, the booster immunization doses were set to 0.5, 1 and 2 mL. Whole blood samples of 5mL/ person (time) were collected 24 h and 1 week after each infusion, and the blood routine, liver, kidney and blood coagulation function and anti-D titer were detected. The differences of detection (index) values at 24 h and 1 week after the first immunization and booster immunization in each (dose) group were compared. 【Results】 No statistically significant differences were observed in hemolysis index values (all within the range of medical reference values) 24 h or 1 week after initial immunization among RhD positive RBCs of 20, 30, 40 and 50mL(P>0.05). The differences between the hemolysis index values and the basic values before the immune response (all within the range of medical reference values) after 0.5 or 1 mL booster immunizations were also not statistically different (P>0.05). However, the differences (μmol/L)between total bilirubin levels and the basic values before the immune response (1.55±1.87, 6.29±2.66) were significantly different after 2 mL booster immunization (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 No risks affecting the safety of RhD negative volunteers was found in the immunization schedule proposed in this study.

Objective To evaluate the effect of living skin equivalents (LSE) constructed of mixed autologous and allogeneic skin cells and human amnion which served as a matrix on repairing scar contracture of the hand in a patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).Methods Skin tissues were obtained from a patient with RDEB and her mother,and epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts were isolated from these tissues and cultured in vitro separately.Human amnion was obtained from the placenta of an unrelated healthy parturient undergoing cesarean delivery,and served as a matrix of the LSE.The autologous and allogeneic fibroblasts were mixed and seeded on the stromal side of the amnion,and then the autologous and allogeneic keratinocytes were mixed and seeded on the epithelial side of the amnion,so as to construct the human amnion-LSE (AM-LSE).Histological examination was performed to observe the structure of the skin tissues obtained from the patient and her mother,and immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect the expression of type Ⅶ collagen in the skin tissues of the patient and her mother and in the AM-LSE.The AM-LSE was grafted on the skin defects of the patient after release of scar contracture of the hand.After grafting,the survival status of the AM-LSE graft and repairing effect on the wounds were evaluated.Results The constructed AM-LSE consisted of dermis,multilayered and fully differentiated epidermis and well-developed basement membrane.Immunofluorescence examination revealed that type Ⅶ collagen was linearly distributed along the basement membrane.Half a year after grafting,the AM-LSE survived well,and no obvious rejection reaction was observed.No blisters or ulcers occurred at the recipient sites,and the scar contracture was mild.The grafted area showed normal skin color with soft texture.The patient could grab and hold things,which had met self-care requirements of daily living.Conclusions The AM-LSE constructed of mixed autologous and allogeneic skin cells have good histological structures,and can be grafted on the wounds after resection of the scars in a RDEB patient.After grafting,no obvious rejection reaction was observed,and the skin was not liable to develop blisters,ulcers or scar contracture due to friction.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway in attenuation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by tetramethylpyrazine in rats.MethodsSixty-four healthy male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 4 groups( n ＝ 16 each):sham operation group (group S),myocardial I/R group(group I/R),teramethylpyrazine group (group T) and AG,490( a JAK2 inhibitor) group (group AG).Myocardial I/R was induced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior desecending coronary artery (LAD) followed by 120 min reperfusion in groups I/R,T and A.In groups T and A teramethylpyrazine 20 mg/kg was injected iv 20 min before LAD occlusion.In group A AG490 3 tμg/g was injected iv at 5 min before reperfusion.Blood samples were then taken from inferior vena cava at 120 min of reperfusion for measurement of serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) and lactose dehydrogenase (LDH) activities.Myocardial infarct size was then measured and myocardial tissue was obtained for microscopic examination.ResultsSerum CK and LDH activities were significantly higher in group I/R than in group S.Pretreatment with tetramethylpyrazine significantly decreased myocardial infarct size and I/R-induced increase in serum CK and LDH activities and histologic damage.The protective effect of tetramethylpyrazine against myocardial 1/R injury was attenuated by postconditioning with AG490.ConclusionJAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in attenuation of myocardial I/R injury by tetramethyl pyrazine in rats.
