ObjectiveThe widespread adoption of portable fundus cameras for primary care and community screening is hindered by limitations in current autofocus(AF) technologies. Image-based methods relying on sharpness evaluation require iterative searches, resulting in slow convergence, while projection-based techniques are susceptible to optical artifacts and calibration errors. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel AF system based on direct wavefront sensing, designed to deliver simultaneous high speed, high precision, and operational robustness within the compact form factor essential for portable ophthalmic devices. MethodsOur approach fundamentally reimagines the AF process by directly measuring the ocular wavefront aberration. We developed a custom portable fundus camera integrating a miniaturized Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS) into the optical path. An 850 nm laser diode projects a point source onto the retina via oblique illumination to minimize corneal reflections. Light scattered from this spot carries the eye’s refractive error through the imaging optics and is directed to the SHWS, positioned at a plane optically conjugate to the primary color CMOS imaging sensor. A microlens array within the SHWS samples the incident wavefront, generating a pattern of focal spots on a CCD. Real-time centroid analysis of these spots provides a map of local wavefront slopes. These measurements are processed through a singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm to fit a Zernike polynomial basis set, enabling real-time reconstruction of the wavefront phase. The defocus component (S) is extracted from the second-order Zernike coefficients, providing a direct, quantitative measure of the refractive error in diopters. This value serves as a precise error signal in a closed-loop control system, which commands a voice-coil actuated focusing lens to its null position in a single, deterministic step, eliminating the need for iterative search algorithms. ResultsComprehensive evaluation demonstrated the system’s high performance. Testing on a calibrated model eye (OEMI-7) established a highly linear relationship between the computed defocus S and the focusing lens position across a ±20 Diopter (D) compensation range, achievable within a 5 mm mechanical travel. The system achieved a focusing precision of 0.08 D, corresponding to an 18-fold improvement over a conventional projection spot-size method tested under identical conditions. The total focus acquisition time, encompassing wavefront measurement, computation, and lens actuation, averaged under 0.5 s. Clinical validation with 25 human volunteers (50 eyes, refractive range -15 D to +10 D) confirmed practical efficacy. The wavefront-sensing AF succeeded in 92% of attempts with a mean time of 0.5 s, substantially outperforming a projection-based benchmark which achieved only a 32% success rate with an average time of 4.25 s. The system provided instantaneous directional guidance and maintained stability during minor ocular movements. Objective assessment of image quality, via amplitude contrast of retinal vasculature, showed consistent and significant enhancement following AF correction across the entire tested diopter range. ConclusionThis work successfully implements and validates a direct wavefront-sensing autofocus paradigm for portable fundus cameras. By directly quantifying and compensating for the optical defocus aberration, this method bypasses the fundamental limitations of image-processing and projection-based techniques, enabling rapid, precise, and deterministic diopter compensation. The developed system delivers an exceptional combination of a wide operational range (±20 D), high accuracy (0.08 D), fast convergence (0.5 s), and a compact physical footprint. This technology provides a practical and high-performance focusing solution capable of enhancing the reliability, throughput, and diagnostic utility of portable retinal imaging in large-scale screening applications. Future efforts will be directed towards system cost optimization and performance adaptation for diverse ocular conditions.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Wenyang Huazhuo Formula （温阳化浊方， WHF） in improving reproductive aging from the perspective of the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. MethodsThe experiment included five groups， 3-month group （20 female mice at 3 months of age）， 6-month group （20 female mice at 6 months of age）， 6-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 5 months of age treated with WHF）， 9-month group （20 female mice at 9 months of age）， and 9-month + WHF group （20 female mice at 8 months of age treated with WHF）. The 6-month + WHF group and 9-month + WHF group were orally administered WHF 41.2 g/（kg·d） once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. The other three groups received no intervention. Reproductive hormone levels were measured by ELISA. HE staining was used to count the numbers of various stages of follicles. Ovarian hyaluronic acid （HA） content and collagen fiber content were measured to evaluate the ovarian mechanical microenvironment. Superovulation was performed to observe the number of eggs obtained， as well as the number of offspring and birth weight to assess fertility. The in vitro fertilization and blastocyst culture of oocytes from female offspring in each group were observed to evaluate the effect of WHF on offspring reproductive potential. ResultsCompared with the 3-month group， the 6-month group and 9-month group showed significantly decreased serum levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， and luteinizing hormone （LH）， decreased ovarian collagen content， and reduced numbers of primordial and secondary follicles. In contrast， the numbers of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles increased. The levels of anti-Müllerian hormone （AMH）， ovarian HA content， and the fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring were significantly lower （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 6-month group， the 6-month + WHF group showed significantly reduced serum levels of GnRH， FSH， and LH， with a significant decrease in primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles as well as increase of AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， and offspring birth weight （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 9-month group， the 9-month + WHF group exhibited reduced GnRH， FSH， and collagen fiber content， as well as reduced number of primary follicles， antral follicles， and atretic follicles. However， AMH levels， ovarian HA content， number of primordial and secondary follicle， egg count， offspring numbers， birth weight， fertilization rate， cleavage rate， and blastocyst formation rate of oocytes from offspring all significantly increased （P＜0.05）. ConclusionWHF can significantly improve the ovarian reserve， fertility， and reproductive potential in offspring during reproductive mid-life and late-life stages. Its effect may be related to the remodeling of the mechanical microenvironment of aging ovaries. Moreover， the effect on the mechanical microenvironment remodeling of late-stage ovaries and the improvement of the offspring reproductive potential is more significant.

BACKGROUND:According to existing clinical studies,vertebroplasty treatment with both the external pedicle approach and the pedicle approach can improve the pain and quality of life of patients with spinal compression fractures.Compared with the pedicle approach,the external pedicle approach has a freer puncture angle,and good bone cement dispersion effect can be obtained by adjusting the puncture angle. OBJECTIVE:To compare the impact of vertebroplasty through individualized unilateral external pedicle approach and bilateral pedicle approach on the treatment of spinal compression fractures by quantifying the dispersion effect of bone cement. METHODS:A total of 80 patients with thoracolumbar compression fracture were divided into two groups by random number table method.The bilateral pedicle group(n=40)underwent vertebroplasty through a bilateral pedicle approach,while the unilateral external pedicle group(n=40)underwent individualized vertebroplasty through a unilateral external pedicle approach.Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the affected vertebrae from two groups of patients were photographed to assess effect and type of bone cement dispersion within 3 days after surgery.Visual analog scale score,tenderness threshold around fracture,and Oswestry dysfunction index were assessed before,1,7 days,and 1 month after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Dispersion effect of bone cement in unilateral external pedicle group was better than that in bilateral pedicle group(P<0.001),and the amount of bone cement perfusion was higher than that in bilateral pedicle group(P<0.001).In the bilateral pedicle group,the bone cement dispersion types were mainly concentrated in type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ,while in the unilateral external pedicle group,the bone cement dispersion types were mainly concentrated in type I and type Ⅱ,and there was a significant difference in bone cement dispersion types between the two groups(P<0.001).(2)Postoperative visual analog scale scores and Oswestry disability index of both groups were lower than those before surgery(P<0.001),and postoperative tenderness threshold around fracture showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing.At the same time point after treatment,there were no significant differences in visual analog scale score,Oswestry disability index,and tenderness threshold around fracture between the two groups(P>0.05).(3)The results indicate that individualized vertebroplasty via unilateral external pedicle approach can achieve better bone cement dispersion,and the treatment effect is consistent with the vertebroplasty via classical bilateral pedicle approach.

Objective:To explore the effects of different titanium(Ti)surfaces on mitochondria metabolism and polarization of mac-rophages.Methods:The anodic oxidation method prepared nanotubes with distinct morphologies(NT5 and NT20 groups)on smooth titanium surfaces(P group)were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).After 24 hours of culturing RAW264.7 cells on the samples,SEM was employed to observe the morphology of the cells of all groups.Levels of mitochondria ATP and ROS,as well as the activity of hexokinase(HK),were measured by fluorescence probes and luciferase assays.The expression of iNOS,Arg-1,TNF-α and CD206 mRNA was evaluated by RT-qPCR.Changes in mitochondria metabolism and macrophage polarization were studied following inhibition of cellular glycolysis by using 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG)in groups P*and NT20*.Results:Compared with the P group,the NT5 group showed no significant changes in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels and HK activity,but an upregula-tion in M2-associated gene expression was observed.In the NT20 group,mitochondria ATP and ROS levels were increased,HK ac-tivity was elevated,and M1-associated gene expression was upregulated.After glycolysis inhibition,there was no significant differ-ence in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels,HK activity and polarization-related gene expression levels between the P*and NT20*groups compared with the P group.Conclusion:Large-diameter nanotubes may promote macrophage M1 polarization by regulating the metabolic reprogramming that occurs in macrophage mitochondria.

OBJECTIVE Hospital-acquired infections have emerged as an increasingly prominent and hard-to-com-pletely-avoid problem,with their complexity and challenges continuing to intensify.As a major public health con-cern,these hospital-acquired infections pose a serious threat to the safety of individuals within hospitals.Among the various routes of transmission,airborne transmission is one of the most important pathways leading to hospi-tal-acquired infections.A variety pathogenic viruses can attach to infectious respiratory particles produced by hu-man body and spread through these particles.Patients in hospitals,as the primary group releasing respiratory in-fectious particles,have behaviors(such as breathing,coughing,talking,etc.)that are closely related to the trans-mission,dissemination and spread of pathogenic microorganisms.It is generally believed that pathogens re-leased into the air by patients will propagate and spread with air currents,thereby elevating the risk of infection.In order to comprehensively safeguard the safety of healthcare workers and patients,and effectively curb the occur-rence of hospital-acquired infections,it is essential to investigate the impact of pathogen-releasing behaviors on the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms.This paper aims to review the research progress on the impact of pathogen-releasing behaviors of patients on the transmission of respiratory pathogenic microorganisms within healthcare buildings,as well as to provide an outlook for further research directions.

Objective To explore the effective substances that specifically bind to RSV-F protein in the water extract of Forsythia suspensa,and verify its effect.Methods Surface plasmon resonance(SPR)affinity fishing technology was used to enrich,regenerate and recover the active components that specifically bind to RSV-F protein in the water extract of Forsythia suspensa.The recovered samples were analyzed and identified by UHPLC-MS/MS,and the active components that stably bind to F protein were screened by molecular docking,molecular dynamics simulation and SPR affinity detection,and then returned to animal experiments for pharmacodynamics verification.BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive control group,protocatechuic acid group and verbascoside group.In the experimental group,RSV was dripped into the nose to make models.Each drug group began to be given intragastric intervention on the day of modeling,and samples were taken after 4 days.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue,and ELISA was used to detect the changes of inflammatory factors in lung tissue.Results A variety of active components in the aqueous extract of Forsythia suspensa could bind to RSV-F protein,among which the results of verbascoside and protocatechuic acid were more stable.In vivo pharmacodynamics experiments showed that the lung tissue of the model group had obvious pathological changes and the level of inflammatory factors increased,and the pathological state was improved after the intervention of verbascoside and protocatechuic acid compared with the normal group.Conclusion Forsythia suspensa can interfere with the expression of RSV-F protein through many active components such as verbascoside and protocatechuic acid,which may be the material basis of its anti-RSV.
