Dry eye disease(DED)is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder characterized by the loss of tear film homeostasis among which evaporative DED associated with meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD)accounts for up to 86%, and traditional drugs fail to effectively target the core pathological mechanism. As a new type of anhydrous and preservative-free eye drops approved by the FDA, perfluorohexyloctane has a unique amphiphilic structure, which can form an artificial lipid monolayer at the air-liquid interface of the tear film. It exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting tear evaporation, stabilizing the tear film, unclogging meibomian gland orifices, and promoting corneal oxygen supply. This drug can not only serve as a first-line treatment option for evaporative DED but also be combined with other drugs for personalized treatment. This review summarizes the mechanism of action, pharmacological properties, clinical efficacy, and safety of perfluorohexyloctane eye drops, and further elaborate on its application value in complex types of DED and patients with other concurrent ocular surface diseases, aiming to provide more evidence support for the precise treatment of DED.

Objective:To evaluate alterations in dopaminergic neurons, cortical metabolism, and functional connectivity networks in patients with early-onset Parkinson′s disease (EOPD) using multimodal neuroimaging.Methods:In this prospective cross-sectional study, 26 patients with EOPD and 16 healthy controls (HC group) were recruited from the PLA General Hospital between April and November 2023. All participants underwent integrated 11C-β-CFT PET/MR, 18F-FDG PET/CT brain imaging and resting-state functional MRI. Clinical assessments were conducted using the Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale and Hoehn-Yahr staging. Cognitive status was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Standardized uptake value ratios for both 11C-β-CFT and 18F-FDG PET images were calculated using cerebellar gray matter as the reference region. Voxel-wise two-sample t-tests were performed to identify regions with significant group differences in tracer uptake. Seed regions showing altered 11C-β-CFT or 18F-FDG uptake were used to compute seed-based functional connectivity (FC) with all other brain voxels, and group differences in FC were assessed. Correlations between imaging metrics and clinical scales were evaluated using Pearson or Spearman analyses as appropriate. Results:Compared with HC group, EOPD group showed significantly reduced 11C-β-CFT uptake in the bilateral putamen, globus pallidus, and left temporal pole ( P<0.05), and decreased 18F-FDG uptake in the right superior frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex ( P<0.05). Relative to HC group, EOPD group exhibited markedly lower FC between the right putamen and the left gyrus rectus as well as the right parahippocampal gyrus; the right superior frontal gyrus and the left gyrus rectus; the anterior cingulate cortex and the olfactory area of the frontal lobe, the left gyrus rectus, and the right superior parietal gyrus; the left temporal pole and the left orbitofrontal cortex as well as the left olfactory area ( P<0.05). Correlation analyses revealed no statistically significant associations between altered FC values and clinical scale scores in the EOPD group. Conclusions:Patients with EOPD demonstrate impaired nigrostriatal dopaminergic function, regional cortical hypometabolism, and aberrant functional connectivity across multiple brain networks.

Objective To explore the effect of vaginal sacrospinous ligament suspension(VSSLS)with uterus preservation in treatment of patients with moderate to severe pelvic organ pro-lapse(POP).Methods A total of 92 patients with moderate to severe POP were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 46 cases in each group.The control group received va-ginal anterior and posterior wall repair(VAPWR),while the observation group underwent VSSLS.The intraoperative blood loss,operation time and hospital stay were compared between the two groups;the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20(PFDI-20)was used to evaluate quality of life;the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12(PISQ-12)was used to assess conditions of sexual satisfaction degree,dyspareunia,sexual frequency,and perceived control during sexual activi-ty;surgical complications in both groups were recorded.Results The observation group had less intr-aoperative blood loss,shorter operation time,and shorter hospital stay compared with the control group(P＜0.01).After treatment,the observation group had lower scores in all dimensions of the PFDI-20 compared with the control group,and the decreasing range was significantly greater than that in the control group(P＜0.01).After treatment,the observation group had significant higher scores for sex-ual satisfaction degree,sexual frequency and perceived control during sexual activity compared with the control group,and the change in these indicators before and after treatment was also significantly greater in the observation group,while the score for dyspareunia was significantly lower in the observation group,with a significant decrease compared with the control group(P＜0.01).The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion As a surgical approach for the treatment of moderate to severe POP,VSSLS can significantly improve patient's quality of life.

Objective To compare the application value of indocyanine green(ICG),nano-car-bon,methylene blue(MB)tracing methods,and ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method in laparoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ endometrial cancer according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)staging system.Methods A retrospective selection of 92 pa-tients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ endometrial cancer was conducted.Based on intraoperative sentinel lymph node(SLN)tracing method,the patients were divided into ICG group(n=24,using ICG tracing method),nano-carbon group(n=22,using nano-carbon tracing meth-od),MB group(n=23,using MB tracing method),and combined group(n=23,using ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method).Surgical-related indicators,pathological results,and the incidence of complications were compared among the four groups.The detection efficacy of different tracing methods was also compared,using pathological results of surgical specimens as the gold standard.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the SLN resection time,to-tal operative time,and intraoperative blood loss among the four groups(P＞0.05).The number of lymph nodes resected intraoperatively in the combined group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the pathological results of surgical specimens(tumor invasion depth＞50％,tumor diameter＞2 cm,tumor invasion of the cervix or lymphovascular space)among four groups(P＞0.05).The complication rates in the ICG group,nano-carbon group,MB group,and combined group were 4.17％,9.09％,8.70％,and 13.04％,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Using the pathological results of surgical specimens as the gold standard,the detection accuracy,sensitivi-ty,and specificity of ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method for SLNs in patients with stage Ⅰto Ⅱ endometrial cancer were 86.96％,90.00％,and 66.67％,respectively.The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 94.74％and 50.00％,respectively.The detection efficacy of this combined method was higher than that of the other three methods.Conclusion Compared with the ICG,nano-carbon,and MB tracing method,ICG combined with nano-carbon tracing method has a higher application value in laparoscopic surgery for stage Ⅰ toⅡ endometrial cancer.It can accurately i-dentify the status of lymph node metastasis,with a moderate price and simple operation.

Objective To investigate the incidence of placental abruption in the third trimester of pregnancy in Hebei Province,identify its associated risk factors,and develop a corresponding nomogram prediction model.Methods Data from pregnant women at 22 monitored hospitals in Hebei Province,collected between 2013 and 2023,were analyzed to assess the incidence,trends,and associated risk factors of placental abruption.A prediction model was developed and visualized using R programming to generate the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The model's predictive performance was evaluated using the area under the curve(AUC)and calibration curve parameters.Results A total of 480 690 pregnant women were included in this study over the specified period.The incidence of placental abruption was 0.29%(1 395 out of 480 690),with an average annual percentage change of 2.73%,indicating a stable trend(P=0.34).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that pregnancy-related anemia,preeclampsia,placenta previa,vaginal bleeding before 28 weeks'gestation,and between 28 and 31+6 weeks'gestation were significant risk factors for placental abruption(all P<0.05).In contrast,regular prenatal examinations(7～11 visits)and multiple pregnancies were identified as protective factors against placental abruption(both P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for the nomogram model constructed based on independent risk factors for placental abruption was 0.79,and the calibration curve demonstrated that the predicted values closely aligned with the observed values.Conclusions Prenatal examinations should be prioritized,especially for women with preeclampsia,placenta previa,or a history of vaginal bleeding before 28 weeks of gesta-tion.Management of pregnancies between 28 and 31+6 weeks is also crucial to reduce the incidence of placental abruption and mitigate adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.The nomogram model constructed based on these factors exhibits excellent predictive performance,providing a solid theoretical foundation for the prevention and clinical management of placental abruption.

Objective:To construct a smart elderly education system that in line with the current situation under the Healthy China strategy and explore the constraints on its institutional implementation,in order to provide a basis for scientifically evaluating the implementation effect of this system.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted on 34 experts in related fields.The analytic hierarchy process(AHP)was used to perform quantitative and qualitative analyses on the construction of the smart elderly education system,and the weights of the importance of each scheme were obtained.Results:The constructed model of the smart elderly education system included 5 first-level indicators and 15 second-level indicators.Calculations of the judgment matrix for the 5 first-level indicators showed that the maximum eigenvalue(λmax)=5.071 4,the random consistency index(RI)=1.12,the consistency index(CI)=0.017 8,and the consistency ratio(CR)=0.015 9.With CR＜0.1,the result met the consistency requirement.For the second-level indicators under each first-level indicator,pairwise comparison judgment matrices were constructed.The CR values of all 5 judgment matrices were＜0.1.In summary,all judgment matrices passed the consistency test and were applicable.Among the first-level indicators,the top three by weights were guarantee mechanisms,demand orientation,and implementation effectiveness.Among the second-level indicators,the top three by combined weights were funding support capacity,health literacy improvement rate,and health demand identification mechanism.Conclusions:The indicator evaluation system for the smart elderly education system constructed based on AHP includes core dimensions such as guarantee mechanisms and demand orientation,responding to the key issues of institutional implementation.The selected indicators are both objective and practical,and can serve as reference tools for actual evaluation.

To summarize Professor DING Ying's clinical experience in treating children's IgA nephropathy from the perspective of "wind-induced water turbidity". It is believed that the core pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy in children is the wind stimμlating water to become turbidity， and the basic treatment principles are to eliminate wind and settle viscera， and to remove turbidity and drain water. For those with the syndrome of wind-heat invading the lungs and injury to blood collaterals， modified Yinqiao Powder （银翘散） combined with Xiaoji Decoction （小蓟饮子） could be used； for those with dampness-heat in Sanjiao， heavy dampness and light heat pattern， modified Sanren Decoction （三仁汤） combined with Bazheng Powder （八正散） could be used； for those with lung-spleen qi deficiency and kidney essence depletion pattern， modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） combined with Wuzi Yanzong Pill （五子衍宗丸） could be used； for those with deficiency of both qi and yin， kidney deficiency with stasis pattern， self-prescribed Yishen Huazhuo Formula （益肾化浊方） could be used. Meanwhile on the basis of pattern identification and treatment， rattan-type herbs could be combined in use in order to unblock the meridians and collaterals.

Objective To explore enteral nutrition support and analyze its influencing factors in elderly patients with ischemic stroke. Methods A total of 328 patients with ischemic stroke in General Hospital of Western Theater Command were enrolled for nutritional screening between July 2020 and February 2024. Corresponding nutritional support plans were selected to investigate the compliance of patients with enteral nutrition support. Patients were divided into a standard group (n=140) and a non-standard group (n=97) based on whether their calorie intake met the standard. The effects of different clinical characteristics on enteral nutrition support were explored, and logistic analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of non-standard enteral nutrition support. Results In the 328 patients with ischemic stroke, proportions of total parenteral nutrition support, total enteral nutrition support, and parenteral/enteral nutrition support were 25.30%, 27.74% and 46.95%, respectively. The proportions of vomiting or regurgitation, gastric residual volume >100 mL, mechanical ventilation and use of antibiotics >2 in the non-standard group were higher than those in the standard group (P<0.05). Logistic analysis showed that the above clinical characteristics were risk factors influencing patients with enteral nutrition support and parenteral/enteral nutrition support. Conclusion Vomiting or regurgitation , gastric residual volume, mechanical ventilation, and amount of antibiotics used are important influencing factors of enteral nutrition support in patients. Clinicians should pay attention to the above clinical characteristics.

Chronic eczema is clinically characterized by pruritus and skin lesions such as macules,exudation,desquamation,and lichenification.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)typically attributes its pathogenesis to wind,dampness,and heat pathogens,and TCM treatment for chronic eczema focused on dispelling wind,eliminating dampness,and clearing heat.However,there were fewer reports about the treatment of accompanying emotional changes and sleep disturbances in chronic eczema patients.This paper integrated the physique-qi-spirit trinity life view with zang-fu organ differentiation,and proposed that the disorder of spleen transportation and transformation contributed to the pathological foundation of chronic eczema,while the dysfunction of heart and liver was the factor that significantly influenced disease progression after analyzing the clinical features of chronic eczema.For the treatment of chronic eczema,the establishment of strategies should consider clinical characteristics,duration of disease,and skin lesion patterns.The combination of physique-qi-spirit regulation with heart-liver-spleen treatment approaches aims to alleviate clinical symptoms,improve quality of life,and enhance therapeutic efficacy for chronic eczema patients.

ObjectiveThis nested case-control study, based on the Shanghai Birth Cohort (SBC), aimed to explore the impact of early pregnancy exposure to organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) on attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD)-like symptoms in 4-year-old children, so as to provide epidemiological evidence regarding the health effects of emerging contaminant OPFRs in children. MethodsStrengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess ADHD like symptoms in 4-year-old children. Children with an SDQ hyperactivity subscale score ≥6 points were defined as cases, while those with a score <5 points were considered as controls. The case and control groups were matched at 1∶1 based on the child’s age (±6 months), sex, and parental or primary caregiver’s education level. A total of 105 cases and 112 controls were included eventually. Concentrations of eight OPFRs metabolites in early pregnancy urine samples were measured using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), including di-phenyl phosphate (DPHP), di-m-cresylphosphate (DmCP), di-o-cresylphosphate (DoCP), di-p-cresylphosphate (DpCP), di-n-butyl phosphate (DnBP), di-iso-butyl phosphate (DiBP), bis(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (BBOEP), and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (BEHP). Basic demographic information of mothers and children were collected through questionnaire surveys and medical records extraction. Binary logistic regression models were used to analyze the effect of individual OPFRs exposure during early pregnancy on ADHD-like symptoms, while a quantile g-computation (Qgcomp) regression model was employed to assess the effects of mixed OPFRs exposure (with detection rates >75%) on ADHD-like symptoms in 4-year-old children. ResultsIn this study, the detection rates of DPHP, DoCP, and the DmCP&DpCP in the urine of early pregnancy women were higher than 75%, with DPHP having the highest detection rate (86.18%). The median concentrations of DPHP were highest in both the case and control groups (0.396 μg·L^-1 and 0.305 μg·L^-1, respectively). Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that exposure to DPHP during early pregnancy increased the risk of ADHD-like symptoms in 4-year-old children (OR=1.262, 95%CI: 1.017‒1.565). The mixed exposure model analyses showed that early pregnancy co-exposure to OPFRs increased the risk of ADHD-like symptoms (OR=1.508, 95%CI: 1.012‒2.258), with DPHP being the primary contributor to the association. ConclusionEarly pregnancy exposure to DPHP is positively associated with an increased risk of ADHD-like symptoms in 4-year-old children. Additionally, DPHP contributed the most to the adverse effects of mixed OPFRs exposure on ADHD-like symptoms. However, these findings require further validation through other large-scale prospective cohort studies.
