Objective:To investigate and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a modified anterior approach for transpupillary silicone oil removal combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Methods:A retrospective case-control study. A total of 148 patients (148 eyes) who underwent silicone oil removal combined with cataract surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between January 2020 and November 2024 were included in the study. All affected eyes underwent preoperative examinations including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, corneal topography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Based on the method of silicone oil removal, the eyes were divided into two groups: group A (modified anterior approach transpupillary silicone oil removal combined with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation, 99 eyes) and group B (standard pars plana vitrectomy for silicone oil removal combined with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation, 49 eyes). The surgical duration, changes in BCVA and intraocular pressure at 1 day, 7 days, and 1 month postoperatively, as well as the incidence of complications such as corneal edema and its resolution, conjunctival congestion, iris prolapse, posterior capsule rupture, nucleus drop, IOL position, residual silicone oil in the vitreous cavity or anterior chamber, vitreous hemorrhage, recurrent retinal detachment (RD), and choroidal detachment or hemorrhage, were compared between the two groups. The independent sample t-test was used for the comparison of measurement data between the two groups, and the χ2 test was used for the comparison of count data. Results:The operation time of group A and group B was (17.01±1.28) min and (31.62±2.32) min, respectively. The operation time of group A was significantly shorter than that of group B, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=?41.002, P<0.001). The comparison of BCVA ( t =?0.561, ?0.833, ?1.386) and IOP ( t=?0.055, 1.375, ?0.507) between the two groups of affected eyes before surgery and at 1 day and 7 days after surgery showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). There was no silicone oil residual in group A, while 3 eyes in group B were observed with silicone oil residual (6.1%, 3/49). Neovascular glaucoma was observed in one eye. Compared to group A, group B exhibited a statistically significant increase in the incidence of postoperative conjunctival congestion, silicone oil retention, and posterior capsular opacification ( χ2=10.600, 6.187, 92.617; P<0.05). In contrast, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in the incidence of corneal edema or recurrent retinal detachment (RD) ( χ2=0.272, 1.557; P>0.05). No intraoperative complications, such as iris prolapse, posterior capsular rupture, nucleus drop, zonular dehiscence, choroidal detachment, or hemorrhage, occurred in any of the operated eyes. Furthermore, no postoperative complications, including corneal endothelial decompensation, IOL displacement, or endophthalmitis, were observed during the follow-up period. Conclusion:Compared to the conventional pars plana approach for silicone oil removal combined with cataract surgery, the modified anterior perfusion transpupillary approach demonstrated significantly shorter surgical duration and a reduced incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective A non-targeted metabolomics analysis of vitreous fluid from patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)is conducted to explore the"metabolic map"of PDR.This approach aims to deepen the understanding of the disease,identify potential biomarkers.Methods From 35 PDR patients and 30 fresh rhegmatogenous retinal de-tachment(RRD)patients,10 PDR patients with vitreoretinal abnormal adhesions were selected as the experimental group(PDR group),and 10 fresh RRD patients were chosen as the control group(RRD group).Using ultra-high-performance liq-uid chromatography-mass spectrometry non-targeted metabolomics technology,the metabolic profiles of vitreous fluid were analyzed to obtain metabolic spectra.One-dimensional and multidimensional statistical methods were used to analyze the differences in metabolites and metabolic pathways between the PDR and RRD groups.Results A total of 165 differential metabolites were identified in the vitreous humor samples of patients in the PDR and RRD groups,these differential metab-olites were significantly enriched in 21 metabolic pathways(P＜0.05),Among these pathways,those with at least 5 differ-ential metabolites include:methionine and cysteine metabolism;glycine,serine,and threonine metabolism;ascorbic acid and aldose metabolism;amino acid biosynthesis;and central carbon metabolism in cancer.Pyruvate,serine,D-2-phospho-glycerate,threonine,phosphoserine,and high serine are present in multiple metabolic pathways,the areas under the curve are 0.96,0.82,0.85,0.78,0.40,and 0.31,respectively.Conclusion There are 21 significantly different metabolic pathways between PDR and RRD patients.Pyruvate stands out in multiple pathways,potentially serving as a biomarker for PDR diagnosis.

BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the common fracture, and accompanied by osteoporosis and high energy injury. The fracture line often descended, and induced A3 intertrochanteric fracture. This type of fracture is difficult to treat. Common intramedulary fixation includes proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and InterTan, which have high stability, are minimaly invasive, and have been extensively used. OBJECTIVE: To compare the biomechanical stability of A3 intertrochanteric fracture fixed with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and InterTan by finite element analysis. METHODS:Three three-dimensional finite element models of the AO3.1, AO3.2 and AO3.3 intertrochanteric fracture fixed with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and InterTan were established. Fixation was completed according to the requirement of Department of Orthopedics. Stress distribution of femur and fixator of different models was observed. Stress peak at different areas was compared in femur and fixation models. Biomechanical stability was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The maximum pressure concentration area in AO3.1 intertrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation was located in the lateral proximal femur, and with Intertan was located in the medial proximal femur. The AO3.2 had little differences between two types of nails. The AO3.3 intertrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation was located in the medial proximal femur and the medial distal implant. There was no significant pressure concentration with InterTan. The von Mises pressure of six models was concentrated in the medial distal implant, and higher maximum von Mises pressure was found in the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation. There was significant difference of von Mises distribution between the lateral and medial implant with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation. Except the AO3.3 intertrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation, the maximum pressures of remaining models were located in the main nail and interlocking nail infal. These results concluded that the fracture fixed with InterTan exhibited fine fixation stability in the AO3.1 and AO3.3 intertrochanteric fracture. There was no significant difference of fixation stability between proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and InterTan in AO3.2. The von Mises distribution of InterTan for intertrochanteric fracture is more reasonable.
