Central nervous system adaptation represents a core compensatory mechanism whereby the nervous system dynamically adjusts structure and function to counteract pathological damages, relying on the synergistic effects of multi-level neural plasticity. Amblyopia training may enhance cortical function through dichoptic augmented reality and visual attention exercises, cognitive training and neuroimmunomodulation may facilitate multifocal intraocular lens adaptation after cataract surgery, transcranial alternating current stimulation may improve visual fields in glaucoma, and perceptual learning may optimize eccentric fixation in age-related macular degeneration rehabilitation. These therapeutic approaches may shift the focus of managements from traditional structural repair to neural functional remodeling in ophthalmic diseases, which will open a new way for enhancing patients' visual function and quality of vision. This review aims to systematically review the mechanisms underlying central nervous system adaptability, its current applications in ocular disease rehabilitation and future prospects.

Objective To explore the prescription law of Professor Wang Yinglin for treating pediatric cough based on the Carma algorithm and complex network.Methods The prescriptions of children with cough as the chief complaint who were treated by Professor Wang in the outpatient department from November 2022 to May 2023 were taken as the research object.Carma algorithm and complex network were used to analyze the main prescriptions of Professor Wang for treating children's cough,and explore the prescription law of Professor Wang for treating children's cough.Results A total of 420 cases were included,with an average age of 6.5 years old.Among them,there were 158 males and 262 females,involving 420 prescriptions,97 kinds of Chinese materia medica,a total frequency of 4 665,and 37 drugs with a frequency of use>20.By analyzing the drug combination derived from Carma analysis of algorithms and clinical verification,it was found that Professor Wang commonly used two drug combinations to treat children's cough:Poria-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum,Scrophulariae Radix-Imperatae Rhizoma,Peucedani Radix-Cynanchi Stauntonii Rhizoma,Perillae Fructus-Asteris Radix,Saposhnikoviae Radix-Liquidambaris Fructus;three medicine combination:Perillae Fructus-Asteris Radix-Semen Lepidii,Poria-Cablin Potchouli Herb-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum,Magnoliae Flos-Saposhnikoviae Radix-Liquidambaris Fructus;the combination of four drugs included Poria-Scrophulariae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Imperatae Rhizoma,Poria-Adenophorae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Scrophulariae Radix;five medicine combinations:Poria-Scrophulariae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Imperatae Rhizoma-Adenophorae Radix,Poria-Scrophulariae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Imperatae Rhizoma-Cablin Potchouli Herb;six medicine combinations:Poria-Scrophulariae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Imperatae Rhizoma-Adenophorae Radix-Folium Eriobotryae,Poria-Scrophulariae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Imperatae Rhizoma-Adenophorae Radix-Isatidis Radix,Poria-Scrophulariae Radix-Exocarpium Citri Rubrum-Imperatae Rhizoma-Cablin Potchouli Herb-Saposhnikoviae Radix,Folium Eriobotryae-Perillae Fructus-Asteris Radix-Semen Lepidii-Peucedani Radix-Cynanchi Stauntonii Rhizoma,Glehniae Radix-Crataegi Fructus-Stemonae Radix-Bulbus Lilii-Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae-Ophiopogonis Radix.Complex network analysis found that the core drugs were:Adenophorae Radix,Poria,Exocarpium Citri Rubrum,Scrophulariae Radix,Imperatae Rhizoma,Folium Eriobotryae,Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii,Isatidis Radix,Peucedani Radix,Cynanchi Stauntonii Rhizoma,Stemonae Radix,Bambusae Concretio Silicea,Cablin Potchouli Herb.Five core prescriptions were obtained by multi-scale backbone network analysis.Conclusion Professor Wang's treatment of pediatric cough varies depending on the medical history,symptoms,and location of the disease,with different prescriptions.New diseases are often considered based on pathogenic factors,with phlegm heat as the main treatment,and the efficacy is mostly achieved by purging the lungs and resolving phlegm;phlegm heat gradually subsides,and residual pathogens are not cleared.The main approach is to eliminate residual pathogens and replenish qi and yin;long term illness mainly focuses on supplementing qi and nourishing yin.

Objective: : Dermoid cysts are uncommon in spinal cord tumors, and the phenomenon of their spontaneous rupture into the syrinx cavity is quite rare. We aimed to analyze the imaging characteristics and etiologies, and propose some surgical strategies, for this uncommon phenomenon. Methods: : We retrospectively reviewed 14 cases with spinal dermoid cysts that ruptured into the cervical and thoracic syrinx cavity. There were six male and eight female cases, aged 21 to 46 years, who had lipid droplets in the syrinx cavity from C1 to L3. The dermoid cysts were always located at the conus. Based on patients’ complaints, clinical manifestations, and imaging results, we adopted tumor excision and/or syrinx cavity aspiration in one stage or multiple stages. Results: : Three patients had only a syrinx cavity aspiration surgery due to a history of dermoid cyst excision. Eight patients had dermoid cyst resection and syrinx cavity aspiration in one stage. One patient was operated upon in two stages due to the development of new symptoms at nine months follow-up. Two patients underwent only tumor resection since they did not show similar symptoms or signs caused by the cervicothoracic syrinx. The axial magnetic resonance imaging indicated that the lipid droplets were always not at the center but were eccentric. The clinical effect was satisfactory during the follow-up period in this group. Conclusion : The lipid droplets filled the spinal syrinx cavity, not entirely confined to the central canal. Based on the chief complaints and associated signs, we adopted different surgical strategies and had satisfactory clinical results.

Objective To study the effect of sub-clinical dosage of EPO on early renal lesions of diabetic rats. Methods The rats were randomly divided into normal control group (NC), diabetic group (DM), diabetic rats treated with A-dosage EPO (DMTA), and diabetic rats treated with B-dosage EPO (DMTB). Diabetic rats induced by STZ were given EPO intraperitoneally for 10 weeks; then blood glucose, blood pressure, renal function indexes, renal morphological parameter, the expression of cell apoptosis associated protein Bcl-2/Bax and VEGF were measured. Results After treatment of EPO, renal functional and morphological indexes were improved significantly and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax and VEGF increased, both in a dose-dependent manner. Blood sugar, blood pressure and hemoglobin concentration had no significant differences. Conclusion Sub-clinical dosage of EPO could play an advantageous role in diabetic nephropathy. Inhibition of cell apoptosis by upregulation of Bcl-2/Bax expression rate may be responsible for renal protective effects despite the upregulation of VEGF.

Objective To investigate the changes of first-phase insulin secretion and its components in the first-degree relatives of Chinese type 2 diabetics with normal glucose tolerance and their correlation with type 2 diabetes. Methods The first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes (Group B, n=35), newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients (Group C, n=35) and health subjects (Group A, n=21) were recruited. Immune reactive insulin (IRI), proinsulin (PI), and true insulin (TI) were determined during intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in each subjects. IRI was determined with radioimmunoassay kit, while PI and TI with ELISA kits. Results (1) For the fasting sera, the levels of IRI and PI showed significant differences (both P

Serum selenium level was determined in 72 patients with Graves′ disease (GD) and 58 patients with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis (HT). Their thyroid function, goiter, thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and course of disease were observed. The serum levels of selenium in GD and HT patients were significantly lower than that in control group (both P
