As one of the most delicate surgeries in the whole body, vitreoretinal surgery requires a high degree of refinement and stability of the surgeon's operation due to the limitation of the operating space, and the fact that any subtle surgical trauma can lead to serious visual function damage. Surgical robots can significantly improve the precision and safety of the vitreoretinal surgical procedures and have good application prospects. As an emerging technology, in recent years, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a lot of research on the surgical robot in the surgical treatment of vitreoretinal diseases, and have achieved certain research results. Starting from the development history of surgical robots, this review analyzes and summarizes the safety and stability of surgical robots assisted retinal endovascular surgery, subretinal injection, macular surgery and real-time manipulation of retinal laser photocoagulation, briefly generalized the challenges that surgical robots still faced, and aim to provide more research directions of surgical robots in the treatment of vitreoretinal diseases.

Objective:to investigate age-related changes in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)levels among middle-aged and elderly individuals, and to establish reference values for the 99th percentile upper reference limit(99th URL)of hs-cTnT within this demographic.Methods:This research is designed as a cross-sectional study.Hs-cTnT test results were collected from outpatients at Beijing Hospital between January 2018 and December 2023.The final sample included 5, 677 outpatients aged 45 to 85 years(65±10), all of whom were free from cardiovascular diseases and other chronic heart-related conditions.Multiple linear regression was utilized to assess the impact of gender and age group on hs-cTnT concentrations within the middle-aged and elderly populations.Furthermore, a generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape(GAMLSS)was employed to generate percentile curves of hs-cTnT by gender in this cohort, with the aim of determining the 99th URLs for both middle-aged and elderly individuals.Results:Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that both gender and age significantly influenced hs-cTnT levels in middle-aged and elderly populations( β60-69 years=1.399, β≥70 years=5.306, βgender=-2.650, all Pvalues<0.001).The hs-cTnT data for both males and females conformed to Box-Cox-Cole-Green(BCCG)distributions, with percentile curves fitted at the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 99th percentiles according to gender.The percentile values of hs-cTnT in both males and females demonstrated a progressive increase with advancing age.Notably, males exhibited higher 99th percentile values than females across all age groups. Conclusions:The GAMLSS approach is employed to establish continuous reference intervals for hs-cTnT in the middle-aged and elderly population.This effort aims to provide a theoretical foundation for reference values specific to this demographic in China and to offer guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the sample preparation proficiency and storage proficiency of 11 clinical biobanks in Beijing through simulated experiments, and to establish an assessment method for the quality comparability of biological samples.Methods:An exploratory research design was adopted. In November 2023, artificial composite serum quality control materials containing six recombinant human protein markers—recombinant human alanine aminotransferase (rhALT), recombinant human aspartate aminotransferase (rhAST), recombinant human creatine kinase (rhCK), recombinant human creatine kinase-MB (rhCK-MB), recombinant human B-type natriuretic peptide (rhBNP), and recombinant human troponin I (rhTNI)—were distributed to 11 clinical biobanks in Beijing City. Sample preparation and storage followed the standardized operating procedures. Proficiency differences were assessed through statistical analysis.Results:Three-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed all six protein markers showed a declining trend over storage time in ultra-low-temperature environments ( F values 11.68-4 179.66, all P<0.01). However, neither long-term/temporary refrigerator types ( F values 0.01-1.23, all P>0.05)nor placement locations within refrigerators significantly affected the stability of these six proteins ( F valus 0.03-1.47, all P>0.05). The biases in detection results for rhALT, rhAST, rhTNI, and rhBNP at different storage time points were within the allowable bias limits for each item, supporting their use as markers for protein stability in biobank samples. All 11 institutions passed the storage proficiency assessment. In the preparation proficiency assessment, deviations were observed in post-preparation sample results, with a notably high out-of-control rate for rhCK (36.36%). Conclusion:Sample preparation proficiency can serve as a quality control metric for clinical biobanks. Future external quality assessment systems for biobanks should focus on sample preparation rather than storage processes.
