Objective To investigate the relationship between the therapeutic effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and cytokines in aqueous humor in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods From July 2023 to December 2023,50 DR patients(56 eyes)who were treated with anti-VEGF drugs in the Department of Ophthal-mology,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University were included in this study.The patients were divided into the diabetic macular edema(DME)group(30 patients,36 eyes)and the proliferative DR(PDR)group(20 patients,20 eyes).Patients in the DME group received an intravitreal injection of aflibercept once a month for three consecutive times,with aqueous humor extracted before each injection.Patients in the PDR group received an intravitreal injection of aflibercept one week before vitrectomy,with aqueous humor extracted before injection and during vitrectomy,respective-ly.The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGF-A),placental growth factor(PLGF),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-23,IL-17A,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the aqueous humor were detected using the Luminex as-say.Before injection therapy,all patients underwent best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and central macular thickness(CMT)examinations,and their correlations with cytokine concentrations in DR patients before injection therapy were ana-lyzed.Results Compared to before injection therapy,the concentrations of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 in the aqueous humor of patients in the DME group decreased significantly after treatment(all P＜0.05);additionally,the CMT de-creased,and the BCVA increased(both P＜0.05).After injection therapy,the concentrations of VEGF,PLGF,IL-1β,IL-23,IL-17A,and TNF-α in the aqueous humor of patients in the PDR group significantly decreased compared to before injec-tion therapy(all P＜0.05).Before injection therapy,the levels of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 in the aqueous humor of pa-tients in the DME group were higher than those in the PDR group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that before injection therapy,VEGF was negatively correlated with BCVA(r=-0.767,P=0.004)and was positively correlated with CMT(r=0.662,P=0.019)and IL-23(r=0.765,P=0.004)in the DME group.There was no correlation between the cytokines in the aqueous humor of patients in the PDR group be-fore injection therapy(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Changes in the concentration of VEGF-A,PLGF,and IL-23 are closely related to the occurrence and development of DR.Anti-VEGF treatment can improve BCVA and decrease CMT in DME pa-tients.The expression level of IL-23 in aqueous humor can serve as a predictive factor for the anti-VEGF efficacy in DR pa-tients,providing new targets for early diagnosis and treatment of DR.

AIM: To observe the effect of RBC preservation solution with sodium pyruvate on the morphology, structure and function of RBC stored in vitro in type 2 diabetes rats. METHODS: Thirty SPF male SD rats, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10): non-T2DM conventional RBC preservation solution (group A), T2DM conventional RBC preservation solution (group B) and T2DM sodium pyruvate RBC preservation solution (group C). The leukoreduced RBC from the tail vein and stored for 0 d (T0), 7 d (T1), 14 d (T2), 21 d (T3) and 28 d (T4) to detect the morphology, structure and the contents of 2, 3-DPG, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactic acid (LA) of RBC in group A, B and C. The RBC stored for 14 days in vitro were labeled with PKH26, and its survival rate were tested in vivo at 1, 4, 10 and 16 hours after intravenous infusion. RESULTS: At T0, the RBC morphology of group A was intact, which was better than that of group B and group C. With the extension of storage time, the morphology of RBC in each group gradually transformed into a spindle-spherical shape. Compared with group A, the incidence of acanthocytes in group B and group C was higher, and the incidence of acanthocytes in group C was lower than that in group B. Compared with group A, the content of 2, 3-DPG in group B and group C decreased, while ROS and MDA increased at different time points (P<0.05). The content of 2,3-DPG in group C was higher than that in group B (P<0.05), and the contents of ROS and MDA were lower than those in group B (P<0.05). LA content in group B was higher than that in group A and group C (P<0.05). At T2-T4, the LA content in group C was lower than that in group A (P<0.05). The survival rate of RBC in group A was higher than that in group B and C, and the survival rate of RBC in group B was lower than that in group C (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Sodium pyruvate added RBC preservation solution has a certain protective effect on RBC stored in vitro in type 2 diabetic rats, and its mechanism may be related to its antioxidant effect.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of novel erythrocyte preservation solution on the quality of erythrocytes in stored blood of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats.Methods:Forty SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 180-220 g, were used in this study. Ten rats randomly selected served as conventional erythrocyte preservation solution group (group A). T2DM model was prepared in the remaining 30 rats. Twenty T2DM rats were divided into 2 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: T2DM conventional erythrocyte preservation solution control group (group C) and T2DM novel erythrocyte preservation solution observation group (group Y). Erythrocyte preservation solution was prepared to simulate the preoperative autologous blood donation process, and blood was collected from the tail vein to isolate the red blood cells, and then the corresponding preservation solution was added. Immediately after blood collection (T 0) and at 7, 14 and 21 days of preservation (T 1-3), the morphological structure of erythrocytes was observed with a light microscope, and the concentrations of 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate (2, 3-DPG) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at T 0-T 3 and 28 days of preservation (T 4). PKH26 was used to label the erythrocytes stored in vitro for 28 days, and then the erythrocytes were transfused back into rats. The survival rate of erythrocytes was detected by flow cytometry at 1, 7, 13 and 18 h after retransfusion. Results:The erythrocyte damage was aggravated at different time points of preservation in group C when compared with group A. Compared with group C, the damage to erythrocytes was significantly alleviated at different time points of preservation in group Y. Compared with group A, the concentration of 2, 3-DPG in erythrocytes was significantly decreased at T 0 and T 2-T 4, the concentration of ROS was increased at T 0-T 4, and the survival rate of erythrocytes was decreased at 1, 7 and 18 h after retransfusion in group C ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the concentration of 2, 3-DPG in erythrocytes was significantly increased at T 0-T 4, the content of ROS was decreased at T 1, T 3 and T 4, and the survival rate of erythrocytes was increased at 1, 7 and 18 h after retransfusion in group Y ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The novel erythrocyte preservation solution can improve the quality of stored erythrocytes and increase the survival rate of erythrocytes in vivo after retransfusion in T2DM rats.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among children in Hebei from 2019 to 2023.Methods:A total of 46 576 lower respiratory tract specimens were collected from hospitalized children in the Children′s Hospital of Hebei Province from 2019 to 2023. Multiple RT-PCR and capillary electrophoresis were used to detect 13 common respiratory pathogens in the specimens, and the results were statistically analyzed.Results:The overall positive rate of RSV was 18.76%(8 739/46 576). The overall positive rates of RSV in male and female children were 18.84%(5 174/27 462) and 18.65%(3 565/19 114), respectively, showing no statistically significant difference between genders (χ 2=0.916, P=0.339). A linear relationship was found between the positive rate of RSV and age ( P<0.01). There was a significant difference in the positive rates of RSV in different years (χ 2=723.71, P<0.01). The positive rate of RSV peaked in the period from December to February from 2019 to 2021. In 2019 and 2020, the positive rates of RSV were very low from May to October, while the positive rate of RSV was above 10% throughout the whole year of 2021 and small off-season epidemics occurred in May and August. The positive rate of RSV was low in 2022, and no significant seasonal change was observed. The rate of RSV infections peaked from April to June in 2023. There were significant differences in the rates of RSV infections before, during and after the COVID-19 epidemic in each age group ( P<0.01). The rate of mixed infections was 29.20%(2 522/8 739), and the most common other respiratory pathogen was human rhinovirus (52.29%, 1 342/2 552 ). Conclusions:RSV is a common pathogen causing respiratory tract infections in children in Hebei, especially in children under 3 years old. After the COVID-19 epidemic, there are off-season RSV epidemics. Given the variations in the epidemiological features of RSV, it is necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of RSV to provide scientific data for the prevention and control of related diseases.

The integration of ideological and political education into medical courses is an important part of China's medical education reform in the new era.The construction of ideological and political education in clinical research curriculum is of great significance for the cultivation of clinical research talents with both ability and political integrity.Based on the clinical research curriculum offered by the Second Clinical College of Wuhan University,this paper introduced the necessity of ideological and political curriculum in clinical research curriculum.Through the learning situation analysis of the eight-year program students majoring in clinical medicine,the ideological and political teaching objectives were formulated,and the ideological and political elements and cases were selected in combination with the teaching content of clinical research curriculum.Combined with the characteristics of the medical professional methodology course,the diversified,innovative student-centered teaching methods were designed integrating the theoretical teaching,flipped classroom,scenario simulation teaching,problem-based learning,case-based learning and team based learning,and added the consideration of moral education dimension in the teaching evaluation,to carry out the ideological and political teaching design of clinical research curriculum.These measures promoted the organic integration of knowledge teaching,ability training and value building,and provided reference for the ideological and political education in clinical research curriculum.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the death risk prediction factors of acute pancreatitis (AP) patients in intensive care unit (ICU), and to establish a death prediction model and evaluate its efficacy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the data in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅲ (MIMIC-Ⅲ). The clinical data of 285 AP patients admitted to the ICU in the database were collected, including age, gender, blood routine and blood biochemical indicators, comorbidities, simplified acute physiology score Ⅲ (SAPS Ⅲ) and hospital prognosis. By using univariate analysis, the differences in the clinical data of the patients were compared between the two groups. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen out independent predictors of in-hospital death in AP patients. A death prediction model was established, and the nomogram was drawn. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to test the discrimination of the prediction model. In addition, the prediction model was compared with the SAPSⅢ score in predicting in-hospital death. The calibration ability of the prediction model was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test, and a calibration map was drawn to show the calibration degree of the prediction model.Results:Among 285 patients with AP, 29 patients died in the hospital and 256 patients survived. Univariate analysis showed that the patients in the death group were older than those in the survival group (years old: 70±17 vs. 58±16), and had higher white blood cell count (WBC), total bilirubin (TBil), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW), proportion of congestive heart failure and SAPSⅢ score [WBC (×10 9/L): 18.5 (13.9, 24.3) vs. 13.2 (9.3, 17.9), TBil (μmol/L): 29.1 (15.4, 66.7) vs. 16.2 (10.3, 29.1), SCr (μmol/L): 114.9 (88.4, 300.6) vs. 79.6 (53.0, 114.9), BUN (mmol/L): 13.9 (9.3, 17.8) vs. 6.1 (3.7, 9.6), RDW: 0.152 (0.141, 0.165) vs. 0.141 (0.134, 0.150), congestive heart failure: 34.5% vs. 14.8%, SAPSⅢ score: 66 (52, 90) vs. 39 (30, 48), all P < 0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.038, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.005-1.073], WBC ( OR = 1.103, 95% CI was 1.038-1.172), TBil ( OR = 1.247, 95% CI was 1.066-1.459), BUN ( OR = 1.034, 95% CI was 1.014-1.055) and RDW ( OR = 1.344, 95% CI was 1.024-1.764) were independent risk predictors of in-hospital death in patients with AP. Logistic regression model was established: Logit ( P) = 0.037×age+0.098×WBC+0.221×TBil+0.033×BUN+0.296×RDW-12.133. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the Logistic regression model for predicting the in-hospital death of patients with AP was 0.870 (95% CI was 0.794-0.946), the sensitivity was 86.2%, and the specificity was 78.5%, indicating that the model had good predictive performance, and it was superior to the SAPSⅢ score [AUC was 0.831 (95% CI was 0.754-0.907), the sensitivity was 82.8%, and the specificity was 75.4%]. A nomogram model was established based on the result of multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The calibration map showed that the calibration curve of the nomogram model was very close to the standard curve, with the goodness of fit test: χ 2 = 6.986, P = 0.538, indicating that the consistency between the predicted death risk of the nomogram model and the actual occurrence risk was relatively high. Conclusions:The older the AP patient is, the higher the WBC, TBil, BUN, and RDW, and the greater the risk of hospital death. The death prediction Logistic regression model and nomogram model constructed based on the above indicators have good discrimination ability and high accuracy for high-risk patients with hospital death, which can accurately predict the probability of death in AP patients and provide a basis for prognosis judgment and clinical treatment of AP patients.

Cortical interneurons can be categorized into distinct populations based on multiple modalities, including molecular signatures and morpho-electrical (M/E) properties. Recently, many transcriptomic signatures based on single-cell RNA-seq have been identified in cortical interneurons. However, whether different interneuron populations defined by transcriptomic signature expressions correspond to distinct M/E subtypes is still unknown. Here, we applied the Patch-PCR approach to simultaneously obtain the M/E properties and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of >600 interneurons in layer V of the mouse somatosensory cortex (S1). Subsequently, we identified 11 M/E subtypes, 9 neurochemical cell populations (NCs), and 20 transcriptomic cell populations (TCs) in this cortical lamina. Further analysis revealed that cells in many NCs and TCs comprised several M/E types and were difficult to clearly distinguish morpho-electrically. A similar analysis of layer V interneurons of mouse primary visual cortex (V1) and motor cortex (M1) gave results largely comparable to S1. Comparison between S1, V1, and M1 suggested that, compared to V1, S1 interneurons were morpho-electrically more similar to M1. Our study reveals the presence of substantial M/E variations in cortical interneuron populations defined by molecular expression.
