Objective To observe the predictability of the corneal stromal reduction with smart pulse technology-as-sisted transperitoneal photorefractive keratomileusis(SPT-TPRK)and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK).Methods Patients undergoing laser surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hos-pital of Xinxiang Medical College from February to September 2023 were selected and divided by surgical modalities into an SPT-TPRK group(21 cases,37 eyes)and an FS-LASIK group(18 cases,32 eyes).The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA),intraocular pressure,corneal thickness,and corneal epithelial thickness were measured before surgery,1 week,1 month and 3 months after surgery.The cutting deviation was calculated,and the change of corneal stromal thickness was ob-served.The correlation between the predicted corneal stromal reduction and the cutting deviation was analyzed.Results There were significant differences in UCVA among different time points in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.001).The UCVA of patients in the FS-LASIK group was significantly higher than that in the SPT-TPRK group 1 week after surgery(P＜0.001).The difference in UCVA was not statistically significant between the two groups 1 month and 3 months after surgery(all P＞0.05).There were significant differences in intraocular pressure among different time points in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.001).The FS-LASIK group had a lower intraocular pressure than the SPT-TPRK group 1 week after surgery(P＜0.05),but the difference in intraocular pressure was not statistically significant between the two groups 1 month and 3 months after surgery(all P＞0.05).There was significant difference between predicted cor-neal stromal reductions and actual corneal stromal reductions measured at different time points postoperatively in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.001).The actual corneal stromal reductions were higher than the predicted ones in the SPT-TPRK group at all postoperative time points(all P＜0.05).In the FS-LASIK group,the actual corneal stromal re-ductions were higher than the predicted ones 1 week and 1 month after surgery(all P＜0.05),but the actual and predicted corneal stromal reductions were not significantly different 3 months after surgery(P＞0.05).The cutting deviations were not significantly different between SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups 1 month after surgery(P＞0.05),while the cutting de-viations were significantly different between the two groups 1 week and 3 months after surgery(all P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the change of the stromal thickness among different time points in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the change of the stromal thickness among different time points in the SPT-TPRK group(all P＞0.05).The stromal thickness showed greater changes 1 month after surgery than that 1 week after surgery in the FS-LASIK group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the change of the stromal thickness between 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the FS-LASIK group(P＞0.05).Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the predicted corneal stromal reduction and the cutting deviation in the SPT-TPRK group 1 week after surgery(P＜0.05),but they had no correlation 1 month and 3 months after surgery(all P＞0.05).There was no correlation between the predicted corneal stromal reduction and the cutting deviation in the FS-LASIK group at all post-operative time points(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Patients who receive SPT-TPRK or FS-LASIK can both achieve good visual acuity and a reduction in intraocular pressure.FS-LASIK has better predictability in refractive error correction than SPT-TPRK.

Objective To understand the membrane protein molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in the region,and provide some evidence for rational drug use or application of efflux pump inhibitors. Methods Collected Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from four hospitals in the region from October 2022 to August 2023,and used SYBR-PCR method to quantitatively detect the relative mRNA expression (RE) levels of 10 membrane protein coding genes,including mexA,B,C,D,E,F,X,Y,and oprD,M. Then categorized the strains into five groups based on ceftazidime,cefepime,imipenem,and meropenem resistance phenotype combination,including the compassionate group (Group Ⅰ),Group Ⅱ with full resistance,IPM,MEM resistant,CAZ and CFP sensitive groups (Group Ⅲ),IPM resistance,MEM non-resistance (sensitive or intermediate) group (Group Ⅳ),IPM,MEM resistance,CAZ and CFP non-resistance groups (Group V).The median RE of each membrane protein-coding gene was analyzed. Results A total of 108 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected,with 24 strains in Group Ⅰ as controls and 84 strains in the carbapenem resistant group,including 32 strains in Group Ⅱ,22 strains in Group Ⅲ,13 strains in Group Ⅳ,and 17 strains in Group Ⅴ. The expression of mexD,mexE,mexF,mexX and mexY in the drug-resistant group was higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (U=409.5～661.0,all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in mexA,mexB,mexC,oprD and oprM with the control group (U=767.0～1004.5,all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of RE genes encoding various membrane proteins among strains from different hospitals (H=0.914～7.407,all P>0.05). Among the four different phenotypes,there was no statistically significant difference in the irregular distribution of mexA and oprM RE between each group and the control group (UmexA=95.0～264.0,UoprM=143.0～331.0). The mexC RE in each group was lower than that in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant (U=134.0～344.5,all P>0.05). MeixE and meixY RE were both higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (UmexE=48.0～230.0,UmexY=83.0～184.0). MeixB was lower than the control group in group Ⅳ (U=72.0),and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). MeixD and meixF showed consistent expression,with higher expression in groups Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (UmeixD=34.0～102.0,UmeixF=65.0～113.0). MeixX was expressed higher in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (U=164.0,58.0,111.0),while oprD was only expressed lower in group Ⅲ than in the control group (U=140.0),with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Although the expression of oprD in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ was lower than that in the control group,the differences were not statistically significant (U=381.0,102.0,144.0,all P>0.05). Conclusion ExCD,mexEF and mexXY are the main membrane protein combinations of CRPA efflux pumps in Kunming area. Upregulation of mexD,E,F,X,and Y membrane protein expression enhanced efflux. The correlation between mexAB oprM efflux pump and carbapenem resistance in CRPA in this area was low. The low expression of oprD played a role in the efflux mechanism in strains that do not produce β-lactase,but there was no significant difference in low expression in enzyme producing strains.

Objective To explore the injury process of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)after glucocorticoid(GC)-in-duced ocular hypertension(OHT),as well as the protective effect and mechanism of estradiol(E2)in RGC injury in rats with OHT.Methods Atotalof36(36 eyes)12-week-old male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into the blank control group,the GC-OHT group,and the OHT-E2 group,with 12 rats in each group.Rats in the GC-OHT group and the OHT-E2 group were subconjunctivally injected with GC,while those in the blank control group were subconjuncti-vally injected with an equal volume of normal saline.Two weeks after modeling,in addition to being injected with GC,rats in the OHT-E2 group were also provided with E2 eye drops.Before modeling and 1,2,3,and 4 weeks after modeling,the intraocular pressure of rats in each group was measured.The visual acuity changes of rats in each group were detected by pattern electroretinogram(P-ERG)and flash visual evoked potential(F-VEP)4 weeks after modeling.After the eyeballs were removed,the distribution and number of RGCs in rats of each group were observed by immunofluorescence staining.Immunohistochemistry,Western blot,and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),cysteine aspartate prote-ase-1(Caspase-1),and gasdermin-D(GSDMD)in rats in each group.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the intraocular pressure of rats in each group before modeling(P＞0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the intraocular pressure of rats in the GC-OHT group increased 1,2,3,and 4 weeks after modeling,and the differ-ences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.01).Compared with the GC-OHT group,the intraocular pressure of rats in the OHT-E2 group decreased 3 and 4 weeks after modeling,and the differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.01).The P-ERG and F-VEP results showed that compared with the blank control group,the amplitudes of P50 and P1 waves of rats in the GC-OHT group decreased,and the differences were both statistically significant(both P＜0.05).Com-pared with the GC-OHT group,the amplitudes of P50 and Pl waves of rats in the OHT-E2 group increased,and the differ-ences were both statistically significant(both P＜0.05).The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with the blank control group,the number of RGCs of rats in the GC-OHT group decreased,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(P＜0.001).Compared with the GC-OHT group,the number of RGCs of rats in the OHT-E2 group in-creased,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The results of immunohistochemistry,Western blot,and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that compared with the blank control group,the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,and GSDMD in the retina of rats in the GC-OHT group all increased,and the differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Compared with the GC-OHT group,the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,and GSDMD in the retina of rats in the OHT-E2 group all decreased,and the differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.01).Conclusion GC-induced OHT can cause pyroptosis of RGCs,and E2 may alleviate the injury of RGCs in rats with OHT by inhibiting the pyroptosis-related NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the clinical value of complement 1q(C1q),mannose-binding lectin(MBL)and complement 5a(C5a)in the early diagnosis and disease monitoring of diabetic kidney disease(DKD),as well as their relationship with renal tubular injury.Methods A total of 232 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to the Endocrinology Department of Kailuan General Hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were selected in this study.Patients were divided into the simple diabetes mellitus(SDM)group(n=50)and the DKD group(n=182)based on urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR).The DKD group was further divided into the low-risk diabetic nephropathy(LDKD)group(n=90),the moderate-risk diabetic nephropathy(MDKD)group(n=55)and the high-risk diabetic nephropathy(HDKD)group(n=37)according to the risk of chronic kidney disease progression.Forty healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations in our hospital during the same period were selected as the healthy control group(NC group).The DKD group was divided into the Q1-Q4 groups based on the quartile levels of NAG/Ucr according to the severity of renal tubular injury from mild to severe.General biochemical indicators,as well as the levels of C1q,MBL and C5a in each group were detected.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between C1q,MBL,C5a and glomerular and tubular injury indexes.Multivariate ordinal Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the progression risk of DKD and the degree of renal tubular injury.Results The levels of systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,triglycerides(TG),serum creatinine(Scr),uric acid(UA),UACR,NAG/Ucr,C1q,MBL and C5a were higher in the DKD group than those in the SDM group and the NC group.The levels of TC,LDL-C,ApoB and HbA1c were higher than those in the NC group,while the level of HDL-C was lower than that in the NC group.The levels of TC,LDL-C,HbA1c and NAG/Ucr were higher in the SDM group than those in the NC group,while the level of HDL-C was lower than that in the NC group(P＜0.05).Among different progression risk groups of DKD,the levels of C1q were higher in the HDKD group than those in the SDM group and the LDKD group.The levels of MBL and C5a were higher in the MDKD group than those in the SDM group and the LDKD group,and the level of MBL was higher in the LDKD group than that in the SDM group(P＜0.05).After grouping according to the quartile levels of NAG/Ucr,the levels of TC,ApoB,HbA1c,Scr,UACR,C1q and C5a were significantly higher in the Q4 group than those in the Q1 group.The levels of TC,ApoB,Scr,UACR,C1q and C5a were significantly higher than those in the Q2 group,and the levels of UACR and C5a were significantly higher than those in the Q3 group.The levels of HbA1c,Scr,UACR,C1q and C5a were significantly higher in the Q3 group than those in the Q1 group.The level of UACR was higher in the Q2 group than that in the Q1 group(all P＜0.05).The Spearman correlation analysis showed that C1q,MBL and C5a were positively correlated with UACR and NAG/Ucr,and negatively correlated with eGFR(all P＜0.05).The ordinal Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated levels of MBL,C5a,NAG/Ucr,Scr and systolic blood pressure were independent influencing factors of progression risk in DKD patients.Elevated levels of C5a,HbA1c and UACR were independent influencing factors of renal tubular injury in DKD patients.Conclusion C1q and C5a can be used to monitor middle and late DKD and tubular injury,and C5a is an independent risk factor for DKD progression and tubular injury.MBL can be used to screen for early DKD and is also an independent risk factor for its progression.

Background Staff in biosafety laboratories (BSL) are more likely to experience occupational burnout and other psychological issues due to their unique working environment and high job demands. However, current research in this field tends to focus on overall analyses, overlooking the internal differences within this group. Objective To explore latent profiles of occupational burnout among BSL workers and their influencing factors, providing a reference for targeted burnout interventions. Methods In 2022, cluster random sampling was used to select 8023 BSL workers in Xinjiang. Data were collected via a questionnaire survey, including a self-designed general information questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), and the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) scale, to analyze demographic characteristics, occupational burnout, and job stress status. After data cleaning, latent profile analysis (LPA) was applied to identify burnout profiles, followed by K-means clustering for verification. Logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors with burnout profiles as the dependent variable. Results After excluding invalid questionnaires, 7924 valid questionnaires were retained, with an recovery rate of 98.77%. The LPA results indicated that occupational burnout among BSL staff was categorized into three latent profiles: a low burnout profile (2208 individuals, 27.86%), a moderate burnout profile (4636 individuals, 58.51%), and a high burnout profile (1080 individuals, 13.63%). A similar grouping was derived from K-means clustering analysis (28.71%, 53.37%, and 17.92%), and a Sankey diagram demonstrated significant overlap between the two classification results. Statistically significant differences were observed across the three latent profiles in all three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal accomplishment. The final logistic regression model revealed that the influencing factors exhibited characteristics of partial overlap and partial differentiation. Among the common influencing factors, the shared protective factors included: age ≥50 years (OR_{moderate burnout}=0.42, OR_{high burnout}=0.45), monthly income of 4000-6000 RMB (OR_{moderate burnout}=0.83, OR_{high burnout}=0.71), good sleep quality (OR_{moderate burnout}=0.70, OR_{high burnout}=0.13) and very good sleep quality (OR_{moderate burnout}=0.51, OR_{high burnout}=0.12), and engaging in physical exercise ≥5 times per week (OR_{moderate burnout}=0.74, OR_{high burnout}=0.48). The protective effects were more pronounced for the high burnout profile. The common risk factors included: 21–30 years of service (OR_{moderate burnout}=1.38, OR_{high burnout}=3.00), ≥31 years of service (OR_{moderate burnout}=1.47, OR_{high burnout}=3.39), working in "other positions" (OR_{moderate burnout}=1.46, OR_{high burnout}=1.56), and occupational stress (ERI>1) (OR_{moderate burnout}=2.62, OR_{high burnout}=3.25), with the risk effects being more significant for the high burnout profile. Regarding differentiated influencing factors, protective factors exclusively associated with the moderate burnout profile included having an associate degree (OR=0.70) and engaging in physical exercise 3-4 times per week (OR=0.74). For the high burnout profile, exclusive protective factors included age 40-50 years (OR=0.56), while exclusive risk factors included having a senior professional title (OR=1.85), holding a managerial role (OR=1.78), a high number of night shifts per month (OR=2.66), and a very high number of night shifts per month (OR=3.93). Conclusion BSL workers exhibit three distinct latent burnout profiles. Occupational burnout requires greater attention, and targeted prevention and intervention strategies should be developed based on worker subtypes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae （CRKP） infection， develop a nomogram prediction model and validate it. METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients infected with CRKP between April 2020 and May 2023 at Kunming First People’s Hospital were retrospectively collected and matched 1∶1 with patients infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae （CSKP） during the same period as the modeling group. Using the same criteria， data from patients hospitalized and infected with CRKP and matched CSKP between June 2023 and June 2024 were collected as the validation group. Univariate analysis， LASSO regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to identify independent risk factors for CRKP infection and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Internal validation of the model was performed using Bootstrap resampling， and external validation was carried out using the data of validation group. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were enrolled， with 372 in the modeling group and 158 in the validation group. Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agents were identified as independent risk factors for CRKP infection （P＜0.05）. The nomogram predicting CRKP infection risk achieved an area under ROC of 0.729 and 0.803 in internal and external validations， respectively. Calibration curves indicated a high degree of consistency between predicted and observed probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agent are independent risk factors for CRKP infection. The developed nomogram model for predicting CRKP infection risk demonstrates good predictive performance and can aid in the early identification of patients at high risk for CRKP infection.

The strategy of pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer（PCa）has been one of the research hotspots in recent years. This review synthesizes recent progress in clinical，diagnostic imaging and immunological aspects of pelvic lymph node dissection.It is found that the detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with localized intermediate-risk PCa is relatively low，and the survival benefit after dissection is not significant. PSMA PET/CT examination can be used instead of lymph node dissection for staging. Extended lymph node dissection in patients with localized high-risk PCa can achieve a higher detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes and possible survival benefits. However，excessive lymph node dissection can weaken the response ability to immunotherapy. The strategy for pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate-high-risk PCa needs further study.

Objective Zinc finger protein 335 (Zfp335) plays a crucial role in the early development of thymic T cells and the differentiation of peripheral T cell subpopulations. The objective of this study is to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of Zfp335 in the regulation of regulatory T cell (Treg) within tumor immunity. Methods The Zfp335 gene was specifically knocked out in Treg using tamoxifen (Zfp335^fl/fl FOXP3^creERT2), and the MC38 tumor model was established. On the 7th day after tumor inoculation, tumor size was observed and measured. Tumor size was monitored and recorded daily starting from day 7 post-inoculation. On day 12, tumors were harvested, and the proportions of CD4⁺ T cells, CD8⁺ T cells, and Treg were analyzed by flow cytometry. Additionally, the mitochondrial function of effector regulatory T cell (eTreg) was assessed. Results From day 10 post-tumor inoculation, tumor volume in the Zfp335^CKO group was significantly reduced compared to that of the wild-type (WT) group. Furthermore, the infiltration of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, along with their respective effector cells, was significantly higher in the Zfp335^CKO group than in the WT group. The proportions of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells producing interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were also significantly increased in the Zfp335^CKO group compared to that of the WT group. In addition, the percentage of CD8⁺ T cells secreting granzyme B (GzmB) was significantly higher in the Zfp335^CKO group than that in the WT group. In contrast, the proportion of Treg and inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS)⁺ Treg in the Zfp335^CKO group was significantly lower than that in the WT group. Finally, the expression level of Mitotracker Deep Red in eTreg from the Zfp335^CKO group was significantly reduced compared to that in the WT group. Conclusion During tumorigenesis, the specific deletion of Zfp335 impairs Treg activation, which is related to decreased mitochondrial function in eTreg. In Zfp335^CKO mice. Tumors exhibit increased infiltration of effector T cells, accompanied by elevated levels of cytotoxic cytokines, ultimately enhancing resistance to tumor progression.
