Objective:To investigate the clinical value of spherical lens with 0.05 D intervals in optometry for small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in myopic eyes.Methods:A randomized controlled clinical study was conducted.Sixty patients (120 eyes) with low to moderate myopia and myopic astigmatism who underwent SMILE in the 989th Hospital of the PLA from June 2021 to February 2022 were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into 0.05 D interval group (optometry with spherical lens at 0.05 D interval) and 0.25 D interval group (optometry with spherical lens at 0.25 D interval), with 30 cases (60 eyes) in each group.There was no significant difference in matched age, sphericity, cylindricity, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (all at P>0.05). The preoperative monocular red-green balance, 1- and 3-month postoperative monocular red-green balance, uncorrected visual acuity and spherical equivalent of both groups were compared.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the 989th Hospital of the PLA (No.WZLL-2021-034). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical examination. Results:The preoperative red-green balance rate in 0.05 D interval group was 95.00%(57/60), which was higher than 35.00%(21/60) in 0.25 D interval group, showing a statistically significant difference ( Wald χ2=17.642, P<0.001). The 1- and 3-month postoperative red-green balance rates in 0.05 D interval group were 63.33%(38/60) and 56.67%(34/60), which were higher than 23.33%(14/60) and 21.67%(13/60) in 0.25 D interval group respectively, showing statistically significant differences ( Wald χ2=9.137, P=0.003; Wald χ2=7.483, P=0.006). The 1- and 3-month postoperative visual acuity in 0.05 D interval group were -0.1(-0.1, -0.1) and -0.1(-0.1, -0.1), which were higher than 0.0(-0.1, 0.0) and -0.1(-0.1, 0.0) in 0.25 D interval group respectively, showing statistically significant differences ( Wald χ2=11.624, P=0.001; Wald χ2=12.841, P<0.001). The 1- and 3-month postoperative spherical equivalent were -0.07(-0.25, 0.13)D and -0.13(-0.25, 0.13)D in 0.05 D interval group, which were higher than -0.13(-0.38, 0.25)D and -0.13(-0.38, 0.25)D in 0.25 D interval group respectively, showing no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( Wald χ2=0.029, P=0.866; Wald χ2=0.189, P=0.664). Conclusions:Compared with spherical lens at 0.25 D interval, 0.05 D interval can improve the accuracy of preoperative and postoperative red-green balance rate and postoperative visual acuity in patients with low to moderate myopia who undergo SMILE.

This study aims to develop a method to detect bovine multi-cytokines based on flow cytometry. Previously we have prepared and screened monoclonal antibodies against bovine cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, IP-10 and MCP-1. These bovine cytokine monoclonal antibodies were fluorescently labeled, and the combination of antibody and cell surface molecules were used to develop the method for detecting bovine multi-cytokines. Subsequently, the developed method was used to determine the cytokine expression profile of Mycobacterium bovis BCG infected bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro, and evaluate the cytokine expression level of peripheral blood CD4+ T cells of tuberculosis-positive cattle. The bovine multi-cytokine flow cytometry detection method can effectively determine the cytokine expression of BCG-infected bovine peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Among them, the expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α continue to increase after 40 hours of infection, while the expression levels of IP-10 and MCP-1 decreased. The combined detection of IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α on CD4+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of cattle can effectively distinguish tuberculosis-positive and tuberculosis-negative samples. This method may facilitate evaluating the level of cellular immune response after bovine pathogen infection and vaccine injection.

Biomimetic nanoengineering presents great potential in biomedical research by integrating cell membrane (CM) with functional nanoparticles. However, preparation of CM biomimetic nanomaterials for custom applications that can avoid the aggregation of nanocarriers while maintaining the biological activity of CM remains a challenge. Herein, a high-performance CM biomimetic graphene nanodecoy was fabricated via purposeful surface engineering, where polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to modifying magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) to improve its stability in physiological solution, so as to improve the screening efficiency to active components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). With this strategy, the constructed PEGylated MGO (PMGO) could keep stable at least 10 days, thus improving the CM coating efficiency. Meanwhile, by taking advantage of the inherent ability of HeLa cell membrane (HM) to interact with specific ligands, HM-camouflaged PMGO showed satisfied adsorption capacity (116.2 mg/g) and selectivity. Finally, three potential active components, byakangelicol, imperatorin, and isoimperatorin, were screened from Angelica dahurica, whose potential antiproliferative activity were further validated by pharmacological studies. These results demonstrated that the purposeful surface engineering is a promising strategy for the design of efficient CM biomimetic nanomaterials, which will promote the development of active components screening in TCM.

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of soft tissue in adults. However, tumor ulcers caused by foot angiosarcoma are rarely reported in the literature. This paper outlines a case of foot angiosarcoma misdiagnosed as diabetic foot ulcer. It was treated as diabetic foot ulcer in other hospitals without notable improvement. In consideration of its special clinical characteristics and treatment process, pathological biopsy was performed after admission, and angiosarcoma was confirmed. The purpose of this article is to emphasize that foot angiosarcoma or other tumor ulcers in diabetes patients are easily misdiagnosed as diabetic foot ulcers. If there is no obvious improvement in treatment, pathological tissue biopsy should be performed as early as possible.
