This paper explores the therapeutic approach for glaucoma based on the concept of "jueyin （厥阴） as the closing phase" from the perspectives of time and space. In traditional Chinese medicine， jueyin governs inward， converging aspect of qi， representing the crucial turning point between the end of yin and the emergence of yang， as well as the transformation between yin and yang. When the closing and descending function of jueyin operates smoothly， it promotes the inward convergence and smooth descent of qi， enabling the internal retention of blood， spirit， and emotions， which nourishes the internal organs and moistens the meridian-sinews. Conversely， dysfunction of this "closing" mechanism results in a disturbance of yin and yang， a mixture of cold and heat， and disharmony of qi and blood. It is proposed that "failure of jueyin to properly close and descend" is a core pathomechanism of glaucoma. From the perspective of spatiotemporal theory， clinical treatment should focus on "regulating the closing function of jueyin and harmonizing yin and yang". The modified Wumei Pill （乌梅丸） is recommended to adjust the ascending-descending and entering-exiting dynamics of jueyin qi transformation， thereby restoring its free flow， achieving yin and yang balance， and ensuring nourishment to the ocular system.

Retinopathy caused by myopia is the first cause of irreversible blinding eye disease in China.The TCM methods to prevent and control myopia mainly include Chinese materia medica and TCM appropriate techniques,which have the advantages of good efficacy,simple operation,and few adverse reactions.This paper believed that internal and external pathogenic factors act on the brain and eyes,breaking their homeostasis,leading to rhythmic disorders,and imbalance of essence,qi and blood is the main pathogenesis of myopia.Based on the idea of"nature and human in the same rhythm"and"the same treatment for common diseases",targeting the above pathogenesis,the method of"brain-eye synchronization"was proposed to restore the homeostasis of the brain and eyes to prevent and control myopia in children and adolescents,and the treatment rules were to regulate the rhythms of the time,harmonize the qi and blood,nourish the blood to soften the tendons,and replenish the essence and blood,so as to achieve the effect of brain-eye synchronization and the treatment of the spirit and the body together.This article summarized the theoretical basis of"brain-eye synchronization"and its clinical application in traditional Chinese and Western medicine,with a view to providing new ideas for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents.

Traditional Chinese medicine upholds the unity of nature and humanity as its fundamental principle,asserting that man is in harmony with heaven and earth and corresponds to the sun and moon.Human life processes align with the circadian rhythms of nature,exhibiting periodic temporal changes-concepts that Western medicine defines as biological rhythms.The"opening-closing-pivot"of the three yin and three yang meridians represents the primary mode of interaction between nature and humanity.This mechanism regulates the transformation of yin and yang to qi within the body,ensuring synchronization with the circadian rhythm.Building upon this foundation,the concept of"the harmony of rhythms and states"was proposed to explain human growth and aging."Rhythms"encompass not only circadian cycles but also the movement of qi and blood,as well as the contraction rhythm of muscle fascia,among other physiological processes."States"refer to the dynamic evolution and transformation of qi during the"opening-closing-pivot"stages in both time and space."Harmony"pertains not only to the individual physiological balance of"rhythms"or"states"but also to their coherent interaction.The fundamental cause of myopia is"the disharmony of rhythms and states",considering that rhythm disorders,qi and blood disorders,and fascia imbalances contribute to this disease.Based on this understanding,myopia prevention and treatment should center on"regulating rhythms and states",with adjusting the pivot to brighten the eyes as the core therapeutic principle throughout the entire cycle of myopia.Treatment should be tailored to different disease stages and supplemented with methods such as time-based regulation,qi and blood harmonization,tendon relaxation and collateral dredging,and essence and blood nourishment to prevent and manage myopia effectively.

Objective To investigate the influence of laparoscopic hepatectomy(LH)on liver function and the expression levels of CD73 and sex determining region Y-box protein 9(SOX9)in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods 90 patients with primary liver cancer were randomly divided into two groups,which were respectively named LH group(45 cases)and percutaneous micro-wave ablation(PMA)group(45 cases)according to their final treatment methods.The LH group was given LH treatment,and the PMA group was given PMA treatment.The liver function[aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total bilirubin(TBiL)],surgery-related indicators,serum CD73 and SOX9 levels,stress indicators[C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6),norepinephrine(NE),epinephrine(E)]and survival situation were compared.Results The length of hospital stay,intraoperative blood loss,operative time and anal exhaust time in PMA group were less than those in LH group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05);compared with the preoperative level,the serum levels of TBiL,AFP,AST,ALT,CRP,IL-6,NE,and E in both groups were obviously increased 1 h after operation,with statistical significance(P＜0.05);1 h after operation,the serum CD73 in the two groups was obviously decreased,SOX9 mRNA in the two groups was obviousby increased,and the SOX9 mRNA in LH group was higher than that in the PMA group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05);the patients were followed up,and there were 37 survivors in the LH group,accounting for 82.22%(37/45);there were 28 survivors in the PMA group,accounting for 62.22%(28/45),and the survival rate in the LH group was obviously higher than that in the PMA group,with statistical significance(χ2=5.70,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion PMA and LH have similar effects in the treatment of primary liver cancer,PMA is more minimally invasive and conducive to postoperative recovery,and LH can more effectively improve the survival rate of patients,and the level of SOX9 mRNA in peripheral blood after LH surgery is higher.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps.Methods:The clinicopathologic features and prognosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps with complete data retrieved from the pathology database of the Institute of Urology, Peking University from January 2013 to December 2021 were collected and analyzed. All HE staining sections were reviewed by a senior urologic pathologist. Immunohistochemical analysis was done in some cases for differential diagnosis. The clinical, imaging and outcome data were collected, and discussed together with relevant literature.Results:There were 45 patients with complete clinicopathologic data, including 34 males and 11 females (male: female=3.1∶1.0), with a median age of 36 (range 13-80) years. Preoperative diagnosis included polyp in 23 cases, tumor in 19 cases and calculi in 3 cases. The main clinical symptoms were hematuria (13 cases), low back and abdominal pain (9 cases) and no symptoms (9 cases). There were 29 cases of multiple polyps, 16 cases of single polyp; 32 cases were on the left side, 13 cases were on the right side; 29 cases of upper polyps, 9 cases of middle polyps, and 6 cases of lower polyps. Twenty-seven patients had no related urologic history, 10 patients had history of urolithiasis, and the rest had history of stents, strictures or tumors. Local ureteral resection and anastomosis were the most common treatment (20 cases), followed by ureteroscopic polypectomy (12 cases). The patients were followed up from the pathological diagnosis to the cut-off time: 4 cases were lost to follow-up, and the remaining 34 cases were followed up for 3 to 85 (mean 60 months). One case had polyp recurrence after 3 months, and the other case had polyp recurrence after 2 years. Fibroepithelial polyps had a variety of gross manifestations, ranging from elongated polyps or small papillary and polypoid to large papillary masses. Microscopically, they were divided into type 1, type 2 and type 3, and the type 3 was the most common type (28 cases). In this study, there were 41 cases of simple fibroepithelial polyp, 2 cases of malignant transformation of polyps into urothelial carcinoma, one case of polyps with urothelial carcinoma, and one case of polyp with surface urothelial carcinoma in situ; the stroma showed myofibroblastic proliferation.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and morphologic characteristics of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are diverse. The three microscopic types are easily confused with many benign and malignant ureteral diseases, such as inflammatory polyps, adenocystitis, papilloma, etc. Awareness of the key differentiation points and judicious use of immunohistochemistry will be helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate our novel path based on anatomical division of the anterior lateral wall of calcaneus and the sustentaculum tali for precise sustentacular screw placement in the surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Methods:The anterior lateral wall of the calcaneus was divided into the anterior-superior zone S 1, the anterior-inferior zone S 2, the posterior-superior zone S 3 and the posterior-inferior zone S 4 for demarcation of the screw insertion points by our method of Four Zones, and into the front, middle and rear sections by our method of Three Sections for demarcation of the screw target points. The specimens were scanned by CT and modeled by Mimics. On the 3D virtual model of the calcaneus, one screw was placed from each zone of the anterior lateral wall of the calcaneus to the sustentaculum tali body. The screw placement target for S 1 and S 2 was the medial intersection point P 1 of the front and middle sections of the sustentaculum tali, and that for S 3 and S 4 was the medial intersection point P 2 of the middle and rear sections of the sustentaculum tali. It was observed whether the screws were placed in the bone channel. A total of 72 patients were included who had been admitted to Department of Orthopaedics, Suqian Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University for calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ from January 2017 to January 2021. They were divided into an anatomical division group and a 3D printing group according to their screw placement method for the sustentaculum tali. In the anatomical division group of 32 patients subjected to screw placement based on our anatomical division, there were 25 males and 7 females, aged from 24 to 60 years; in the 3D printing group of 40 patients subjected to screw placement assisted by 3D printing, there were 31 males and 9 females, aged from 25 to 58 years. The disparities between the parameters of sustentacular screw placement and the actual values were compared in the anatomical division group, and the total number of screws, screws on average, distribution of screws, and accuracy of screw placement were compared between the 2 groups. Results:All the screws which were virtually placed in the specimens of the calcaneus from S 1 and S 2 to P 1 and from S 3 and S 4 to P 2 passed through the bony channel, with no perforation into the tarsal sinus. There was no significant difference in the general date between the anatomical division group and the 3D printing group, showing they were comparable ( P > 0.05). In the anatomical division group, a total of 52 screws were placed to the sustentaculum tali with an average of (1.63 ± 0.48) screws per patient, and 2 screws were placed in 20 patients, yielding an accuracy rate of screw placement of 92.3% (48/52). There were no statistically significant differences between the parameters and the actual values of screw placement in the anatomical division group ( P > 0.05). In the 3D printing group, a total of 63 screws were placed to the sustentaculum tali with an average of (1.58 ± 0.49) screws per patient, and 2 screws were placed in 23 patients, yielding an accuracy rate of screw placement of 93.7% (59/63). There were no significant differences in the above comparisons between the anatomical division group and the 3D printing group ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:In the surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ, the sustentacular screw placement based on our anatomical division of the anterior lateral wall of the calcaneus and the sustentaculum tali can lead to similar clinical accuracy as 3D printing-assisted screw placement does.

Objective:To explore the effects of micro-classroom on pulmonary function, compliance with inhaled glucocorticoids, self-management ability and quality of life in children with bronchial asthma at school age.Methods:A total of 116 children with school-age bronchial asthma who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were selected. Children were divided into control group ( n = 58) and observation group ( n = 58) according to the method of random numbers. The children in the control group were given routine health education, and the children in the observation group used micro-class health education strategies based on the control group. Intervention time was 3 months. The lung function indexes, inhaled glucocorticoid compliance, self-management ability, and quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results:After the intervention, the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume percentage (FEV1%), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and forced expiratory 25% vital capacity instantaneous flow rate (FEF25%) were increased in both groups. The observation group was (6.29 ± 0.75) L, (75.61 ± 10.59)%, (91.55 ± 12.82) L / s, and (83.45 ± 10.85) L / s. All were higher than (5.98 ± 0.66) L, (71.25 ± 7.84)%, (78.92 ± 11.8) L / s, and (59.91 ± 8.39) L / s in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t value was from -13.071 to -2.363, P <0.05 or 0.01). The Morisky-Green score of the control group decreased after the intervention ( t value was 7.937, P <0.05). The Morisky-Green score of the observation group showed no significant change compared with that before the intervention ( t value was 0.883, P> 0.05). The scores of self-care ability, nursing skills, sense of responsibility, self-concept, and health knowledge on the self-care ability scale of the observation group after the intervention were (21.05 ± 2.53), (17.53 ± 2.63), (17.65 ± 1.94), (27.35 ± 4.10), (27.36 ± 4.10) minutes. All were higher than the (15.68 ± 2.20), (13.58 ± 1.49), (14.56 ± 1.75), (20.45 ± 2.86), (22.35 ± 2.68) points of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was from -12.198 to -7.790, P <0.01). In the observation group after intervention, the quality of life scale, asthma symptoms, mental state, response to stimulus, and health care scores were (75.68 ± 9.08), (58.91 ± 8.25), and (46.98 ± 7.05), (38.51 ± 5.39), (28.95 ± 4.05) minutes. All were higher than (68.35 ± 8.89), (51.23 ± 7.68), (41.05 ± 6.16), (31.58 ± 3.79), (22.36 ± 2.68) points in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was from -10.334 to -4.393, P <0.01). Conclusion:The micro-classroom intervention mode for school-age children with bronchial asthma can effectively maintain treatment compliance, help improve children's lung function indicators, and improve children's self-management ability and quality of life.
