AIM: To analyze changes in the anterior chamber angle structure in patients with implantable collamer lens with central-port(ICL V4c)implantation, and to investigate their associations with preoperative anterior segment anatomical parameters.METHODS: Retrospective case study. Patients with myopia or myopia combined with astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation in the Refractive Surgery Center of the Department of Ophthalmology, the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between July 2024 and November 2024 were recruited. Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle(ACA), white-to-white distance(WTW), anterior chamber depth(ACD), angle to angle distance(ATA), horizontal sulcus-to-sulcus distance(HSTS), vertical sulcus-to-sulcus distance(VSTS),crystalline lens rise(CLR), pupil diameter(PD), iris thickness at 750 μm from the scleral spur(IT750),maximal iris thickness(ITM), iris curvature(I-Curv), and iris cross-sectional area(I-Area), angle opening distance(AOD750), thetrabecular-iris angle(TIA750)and the trabecular-iris space area(TISA750)in the temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior directions,as well as the vault at various postoperative time points were measured.RESULTS: The study involved 40 patients(79 eyes)with myopia or myopia combined with astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation(10 males and 30 females)with the mean age of 24.73±3.79 y. Compared with preoperative measurements, at 1 mo postoperatively, the AOD750, TIA750, and TISA750 parameters at the four angles(temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior)all showed a significant reduction(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences in vault were observed at postoperative 1d(0.49±0.1), postoperative 1 wk(0.43±0.14), and postoperative 1 mo(0.41±0.14)(all P<0.001). Correlation analysis indicated that the postoperative state of the anterior chamber angle was jointly influenced by anterior chamber parameters(ACD, ATA, HSTS、VSTS), iris morphology(I-Area, IT750), pupil size(PD), and surgical factors(ICL size, early vault), and that the combination of influencing factors varied across different orientations. Regression analysis showed that ACD was positively correlated with all postoperative anterior chamber angle parameters(P<0.05). IT750 exhibited negative correlations with the temporal and inferior angles(P<0.05). I-Area was positively correlated with temporal AOD750 and TISA750(P<0.05), and PD had negative correlations with temporal TIA750 and nasal AOD750(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Postoperative anterior chamber angle narrowing is a common phenomenon after ICL V4c implantation. The degree of change exhibits a significant correlation with multiple preoperative anterior segment anatomical parameters. Preoperative comprehensive assessment of ACD, PD, and IT750 may facilitate the evaluation of the risk of postoperative angle changes and the enhancement of surgical safety.

Objective: To explore the relationship between socio ecological risk factors (SERF), physical activity (PA) developmental trajectories, and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Tianjin, in order to provide theoretical support for comprehensive interventions for adolescent depression. Methods: A longitudinal follow up design was adopted. In September 2022, a baseline survey was conducted using a stratified cluster random sampling method in two junior high schools and two senior high schools in Tianjin, collecting data on students basic information, SERF, PA, and depressive symptoms. Two follow up surveys were conducted in September 2023 and 2024, yielding 588 valid participants. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to identify PA developmental trajectory categories among junior and senior high school students. Logistic regression was applied to examine the associations between depressive symptoms and SERF as well as PA trajectories. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms among Tianjin junior and senior high school students over the three years were 26.53%, 20.24%, and 21.26 %, respectively. Depressive symptoms were positively correlated with SERF ( OR=1.04, 95%CI=1.03-1.05, P <0.05). The highest risks were observed in the individual dimension and family dimension ( OR =1.28, 1.21, both P <0.05). LCGA identified three PA trajectory groups:persistently low level (80.65%), persistently high level (4.58%), and slowly increasing group ( 14.77 %). Multivariate regression analysis showed that compared with the persistently low level PA, the slowly increasing PA significantly reduced the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=0.44, 95%CI =0.20-0.88), while SERF still increased the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.04, 95%CI =1.03-1.05) (both P <0.05). Conclusion SERF are risk factors for depression symptoms among junior and senior high school students, whereas slowly increasing PA development trajectory demonstrates a protective effect.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of oliceridine fumarate （TRV130） in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction （POCD） in elderly rats based on the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） pathway. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into the control group （normal saline）， the model group （normal saline）， the TRV130 group （2.8 mg/kg）， the TLR4/NF-κB pathway inhibitor （TAK-242） group （3 mg/kg）， the β -arrestin inhibitor （Barbadin） group （3 mg/kg）， and the traditional opioid drug （morphine） group （2.8 mg/kg）， with 15 rats in each group. Except for the control group， POCD models were established in all other groups. From the first day after surgery， drugs/normal saline were administered via caudal vein injection once daily for 3 consecutive days. After the last administration， the pathological damage of hippocampal tissue was observed； the cognitive function， serum inflammatory factor levels， hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate， and the expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba-1）， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， and TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related mRNA and protein in hippocampal tissue were detected. RESULTS In the model group， the neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were disordered and sparse， with decreased number， pyknotic and fragmented nuclei accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the control group， the escape latency， serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and IL-1β， hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate， average fluorescence intensities of Iba-1 and GFAP， mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65， and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased/elevated in the model group （ P ＜0.05）； the time spent in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings were significantly shortened/decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the cognitive function， pathological， inflammatory， and apoptosis-related indicators were significantly improved in the TRV130 group， TAK-242 group， and Barbadin group （ P ＜0.05）； the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels were significantly decreased in the TRV130 group and TAK-242 group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS TRV130 may improve POCD in elderly rats by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and alleviating postoperative central nervous system inflammatory responses.

Objective: To explore the value of body measurement indicators in screening for metabolic syndrome (MS), so as to provide the basis for early detection and prevention of MS. Methods: The individuals who were 18 years old or above and underwent physical examinations at a tertiary hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected using the convenience sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference (WC) and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. The associations of WC, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body roundness index (BRI), abdominal volume index (AVI), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with MS were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. The screening values of these body measurement indicators for MS were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: A total of 37 921 individuals were recruited, including 20 666 males (54.50%) and 17 255 females (45.50%), and had a median age of 41.00 (interquartile range, 20.00) years. There were 7 988 cases of MS, with a detection rate of 21.06%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that WC, WHR, LAP and VAI were statistically associated with MS (all P<0.05), and the risk of MS increased with the levels of these indicators (all Ptrend<0.05), after adjusting for confounding factors (gender, age, lifestyle, etc.). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of LAP for screening MS was the highest among single indicators, at 0.930 (95%CI: 0.927-0.933), and the optimal cut-off value was 43.13, Youden's index was 0.720, the sensitivity was 88.01%, and the specificity was 84.04%. The combined indicators of WC×VAI for screening MS had the highest AUC, which was 0.937 (95%CI: 0.935-0.939), and the optimal cut-off value was 0.17, Youden's index was 0.730, the sensitivity was 91.88%, and the specificity was 81.07%. The DeLong test showed that the AUC of WC×VAI for screening MS was higher than that of WC, WHR, LAP and VAI, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusion The value of combining WC and VAI for screening MS is higher than other body measurement indicators.

BACKGROUND:Prostaglandin E1(PGE1)has been shown to play a regulatory role in vasodilatation,inflammation,and leukocyte migration and adhesion,but its effects on spinal cord microcirculation after traumatic spinal cord injury(SCI)remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism underlying the protective effects of PGE1 administered during the acute phase of traumatic SCI in rats on the regulation of vascular-related factors and microcirculatory function. METHODS:Seventy-two female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups(n=24 per group):control group,SCI group,and PGE1 group.An in vivo SCI model was established using Allen's blow method.Rats in the PGE1 group were injected with PGE1(10 μg/kg)via the tail vein immediately after SCI.Spinal cord microcirculatory blood flow and oxygen saturation,spinal cord microvessel diameter and area,spinal cord water content,vascular function regulators(von Willebrand factor,thromboxane A2,prostacyclin,endothelin-1),and inflammatory factors(tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-1β)were measured at 2 and 24 hours after SCI. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 hours after SCI,the diameter and area of spinal cord microvessels,spinal cord microcirculatory blood flow,and oxygen saturation in the PGE1 group were higher than those in the SCI group(P<0.05),the water content of the spinal cord was lower than that in the SCI group(P<0.05),and the level of plasma von Willebrand Factor,the ratio of thromboxane A2/prostacyclin of the spinal cord and the level of endothelin-1 were lower than those in the SCI group(P<0.05).At 24 hours after SCI,the spinal cord microvessel area,blood flow,and oxygen saturation of rats in the PGE1 group were higher than those in the SCI group(P<0.05),the spinal cord water content was lower than that in the SCI group(P<0.05),and the levels of plasma von Willebrand factor,spinal cord tissue thromboxane A2/prostacyclin ratio and the levels of endothelin-1,tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β were lower than those in the SCI group(P<0.05).The diameter and area of spinal cord microvessels,spinal cord microcirculatory blood flow and blood oxygen saturation of rats in the SCI group were higher than those in the SCI group at 24 hours post-injury(P<0.05),and the levels of plasma von Willebrand factor,spinal tissue thromboxane A2/prostacyclin ratio,tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β were higher than those at 2 hours post-injury(P<0.05),but the level of endothelin-1 in spinal cord tissue was lower than that at 2 hours(P<0.05).The blood flow and oxygen saturation of spinal cord microcirculation in the PGE1 group rats at 24 hours post-injury were lower than those at 2 hours post-injury(P<0.05),and the diameter and area of spinal cord microvessels and water content of the spinal cord were higher than those at 2 hours post-injury(P<0.05).The above results indicate that intravenous administration of PGE1 in SCI rats immediately after injury can regulate vascular function regulators,inflammatory factors and improve microcirculation of the spinal cord after SCI,which provides a potential basis for the search of drugs for the treatment of acute SCI.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of thyroid enlargement in school-age children in Tianjin. Methods School-age children were randomly selected in Tianjin to undergo thyroid ultrasound examination, and salt iodine, urine iodine, height, and weight tests. A questionnaire survey was conducted. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for thyroid enlargement. Results A total of 917 children aged 7-13 years in Tianjin were surveyed, with a thyroid enlargement rate of 4.03% and a median thyroid volume of 2.60 ml. There was a non-linear relationship between children's body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of thyroid enlargement in children (P=0.008), and a linear relationship between children's body surface area (BSA) and the incidence of thyroid enlargement in children (P<0.001). Being 9 years old (OR=3.728, 95%CI: 1.343-10.343, P=0.012), obesity (OR=3.886, 95%CI: 1.801-8.384, P=0.001), having lunch at school (OR=3.157, 95%CI: 1.497-6.658, P=0.003) and frequent consumption of preserved foods (OR=4.611, 95%CI: 1.643-12.945, P=0.004) were risk factors for goiter in children. Regular consumption of seaweed (OR=0.305, 95%CI: 0.100-0.927, P=0.036) was a protective factor for goiter in children. Conclusion The incidence of thyroid enlargement in children in Tianjin meets national standards. Obesity, eating lunch at school, frequently consuming pickled foods, and being 9 years old may be risk factors for thyroid enlargement in children. Eating seaweed or kelp regularly is a protective factor. At the same time, attention should be paid to the relationship between BMI, BSA, and thyroid enlargement rate in children..

Objective To explore the association between different levels of fluoride exposure and dyslipidemia in elderly people, and to analyze the influencing factors and their interactions. Methods A total of 1 143 elderly people over 60 years old were randomly selected from historical high water fluorosis areas and control areas in Tianjin. Logistic regression model and classification tree model were used to analyze the influencing factors of dyslipidemia, and to analyze the interaction between high fluoride exposure and relevant influencing factors on dyslipidemia. Results The prevalence of elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 5.69% (65/1 143). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of high LDL-C in different fluoride-exposed areas (2 = 0.092，P = 0.762). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that high fluoride exposure (OR=2.306，95%CI：1.185-4.491) and abdominal obesity (OR=2.274，95%CI：1.299-3.978) were risk factors for high LDL-C, while type B personality (OR=0.529，95%CI：0.308-0.908) was a protective factor for high LDL-C. The results of classification tree model showed that abdominal obesity contributed the most to the prevalence of high LDL-C in the elderly, followed by high fluoride exposure and hyperglycemia. There was a significant multiplicative interaction between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity on dyslipidemia (OR=5.191,95%CI：1.609-16.745，P=0.006). Conclusion High fluoride exposure may increase the risk of high LDL-C, and there is a multiplicative interaction between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity on dyslipidemia.

Objective:We summarize the clinical characteristics of surgeries in which the thyroid lobe is used as a transfer flap to treat early pharyngeal fistula following total laryngectomy.We also provide useful data for improving the diagnosis and management of this condition.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 8 patients with pharyngocutaneous fistulas after total laryngectomy for laryn-geal and pharyngeal cancer patients admitted to Hunan Provincial People's Hospital(The First Hospital Affiliated to Hunan Normal University)between October 2016 and October 2023.The surgeons performed a double-layer repair technique that included local inversion and a purse-string suture of the fistula using the thyroid lobe as a transfer flap.Clinical data were collected to analyze postoperative outcomes.Results:All eight patients experienced successful pharyngeal fistula repair.Postoperatively,these patients were managed with nasogastric tube feed-ing,liquid diet,and prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection.After 10 days,their diet was changed to oral liquids,and their nasogastric tubes were removed.All patients were discharged after complete recovery.Conclusions:Use of the thyroid lobe as a transfer flap in a double-layer repair technique involving local inversion of the fistula is an effective method for repairing early pharyngeal fistula after total laryngectomy.This approach offers several advantages,including ease of flap harvesting,shortened operation time,reduced patient discom-fort,high transfer flap survival rate,and rapid postoperative recovery.The clinical efficacy of this technique is well-supported,making it a re-liable option for the management of early pharyngeal leaks.

Objective:To investigate the underlying mechanism behind the significant reduction in intracellular virus loads after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza viruses infect respiratory epithelial cells overexpressing the chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 1 (CCR1).Methods:A549 cells were infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2), or influenza B virus (FluB), and the expression of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) and CCR1 were detected by qRT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot. After overexpressing or knocking down CCR1 in A549 cells, these cells were infected with RSV, H1N1, H3N2, or FluB, and the expression of CCR1, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), and viral proteins were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. After stimulating CCR1-overexpressed A549 cells with CCL5, Western blot was used to detect the expression of HSP90 and CDK1, and co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the interaction between HSP90 and CCR1. CCR1 -/- mice were infected with RSV, H1N1, or H3N2 to observe the changes in the expression of HSP90, CDK1, and viral proteins with Western blot, and the inflammation in lung tissues with HE staining. One-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:RSV, H1N1, H3N2, and FluB infections induced high expression of CCL5 in A549 cells ( P<0.05), but the expression of CCR1 showed an overall downward trend. After activating its receptor CCR1, CCL5 inhibited the replication of RSV and influenza viruses by suppressing the activity of HSP90 ( P<0.05). The experiments conducted on CCR1 -/- mice confirmed that the enhanced activity of HSP90 facilitated the replication of RSV and influenza viruses. Conclusion:RSV and influenza viruses may reduce the binding of CCL5 to CCR1 by downregulating the expression of CCR1 in respiratory epithelial cells, thereby weakening the inhibitory effect of CCR1 on HSP90 activity, which enables them to evade host immune defense.

Objective:To investigate the main influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in the elderly and explore the interaction between high fluoride exposure and related co-factors on MCI.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to December 2024 in four towns in the rural areas of Tianjin(two historically high-fluoride towns and two non-high-fluoride towns). A total of 125 elderly people aged 60 years and above were randomly selected from each township.MCI was diagnosed using the Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic(MoCA-B)according to the diagnostic criteria for MCI.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of MCI, and conditional logistic regression was employed to assess multiplicative and additive interaction effects.Results:A total of 481 participants were included, with 354 in the normal group and 127 in the MCI group, and the incidence of MCI was 26.40%.Univariate analysis showed that MCI was associated with age, annual household income per capita, high fluoride exposure, life stress, depression, and abnormal urinalysis( χ2=4.241, 4.017, 4.552, 7.143, 4.151, 5.113, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that after adjusting for other confounders, high fluoride exposure( OR=1.816, 95% CI: 1.177-2.802), age ≥70 years( OR=1.584, 95% CI: 1.034-2.428), depression( OR=2.106, 95% CI: 1.042-4.254), and abnormal urinalysis( OR=1.595, 95% CI: 1.041-2.444)increased the risk of MCI.Compared with severe life stress, moderate stress( OR=0.254, 95% CI: 0.082-0.790)reduced the risk of MCI.No multiplicative or additive interaction was found between high fluoride exposure and depression, life stress, or abnormal urinalysis. Conclusions:High fluoride exposure, age ≥70 years, depression, abnormal urinalysis, and severe life stress may increase the risk of MCI in the elderly, but there is no interaction among them.
