Extracellular vesicles(EVs)are nanoscale membrane vesicles released by cells that carry bioactive molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. They play a key role in intercellular communication. In recent years, they have shown significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal and ocular surface diseases. As diagnostic biomarkers, EVs derived from tears or other sources can reflect disease-specific characteristics, providing a basis for the early disease detection. In terms of therapy, mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)-derived EVs deliver miRNAs to modulate inflammatory pathways, promote corneal epithelial repair, and inhibit fibrosis. Furthermore, as natural drug vehicles, EVs enable precise delivery of therapeutic agents and promote corneal wound healing. This review systematically summarizes the recent research advances in the application of EVs in the field.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of centrifugal and membrane double plasma molecular adsorption systems (DPMAS) combined with low-dose plasma exchange in the treatment of liver failure. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 60 patients with liver failure treated in our hospital from April 2024 to June 2025. Based on different plasma separation methods, they were divided into the centrifugal DPMAS group (n=30) and the conventional membrane DPMAS group (n=30). The operational parameters, laboratory indicators, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results: Under the same plasma volume for adsorption and exchange (P>0.05), the centrifugal group showed lower total circulating blood volume, total blood flow rate, and treatment duration compared to the membrane group [10 794 (9 532, 12 637) vs 19 000 (19 000, 21 000) mL, 60 (60, 65) vs 125 (120, 130) mL/min, 169 (141, 193) vs 207 (183, 210) min, P<0.001]. The centrifugal group also had a lower rate of central venous catheter use [(24/30, 80.00%) vs (30/30, 100.00%), P=0.024] and required more calcium supplementation due to sodium citrate anticoagulation [6 (6, 8) vs 2 (2, 2) g, P<0.001]. No significant changes were observed in WBC, Hb, HCT, and PLT levels before and after treatment with the centrifugal group (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in WBC levels before and after membrane group treatment (P=0.199), but the values of Hb, HCT, and PLT showed significant decreases post-treatment compared to pre-treatment [106.50 (102.75, 126.75) vs 123.00 (109.75, 132.00) g/L, 33.20 (29.90, 34.92) vs 34.85 (31.55, 37.52)%, 85.00 (43.25, 139.50) vs 93.00 (61.50, 145.00)×10 /L, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in coagulation function indexes before and after treatment with centrifugal group (P>0.05). The membrane group showed reduction in fibrinogen (Fib) levels post-treatment [1.50 (1.20, 1.60) vs 1.60 (1.25, 1.80) g/L, P=0.033]. Both groups demonstrated significant decreases in total bilirubin (TBil) and direct bilirubin (DBil) levels after treatment (centrifugal group: 194.70 (107.50, 276.00) vs 239.15 (173.00, 304.17) μmol/L, 101.00 (64.00, 182.30) vs 157.00 (101.00, 195.00) μmol/L; membrane group: 211.50 (118.00, 240.00) vs 263.50 (204.75, 314.00) μmol/L, 188.00 (122.75, 232.25) vs 219.00 (178.50, 267.25) μmol/L, P<0.05]. The incidence of catheter-related complications was lower in the centrifugal group [(2/30, 6.67%) vs (8/30, 26.67%), P=0.038]. Conclusion: The centrifugal DPMAS system demonstrates advantages such as lower blood flow velocity requirements, shorter treatment duration, minimal impact on platelets, and reduced adverse event rates, indicating promising clinical applications.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transfusing apheresis platelets from an anti-M-positive donor. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on two units of apheresis platelets collected from a single anti-M-positive donor at Chongqing Blood Center of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. These platelets were transfused into two unexpected antibodies-negative patients with hematological diseases at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University. In vitro, the quality of the anti-M-positive low-plasma apheresis platelets was analysed. In vivo, transfusion efficacy and safety was observed. Results: Following transfusion of anti-M-positive plasma-depleted platelets, the platelet counts of the two patients increased from 13 and 5×10 /L to 24 and 18×10 /L, respectively. The CCI values were 7.02 and 9.10, both exceeding 4.5. The transfusions were effective, and no transfusion-related adverse reactions occurred in either patient. Conclusion: Anti-M-positive apheresis platelets can be used clinically after plasma removal.

Abnormal blinking can manifest in various ways, including a significant increase or decrease in blink frequency, incomplete blinking, and uncoordinated blinking movements. Currently, a unified diagnostic criterion is still lacking. Abnormal blinking is closely linked to factors such as ocular surface diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, and visual function abnormalities. In recent years, an increasing number of pediatric patients have visited ophthalmic clinics with abnormal blinking as their primary complaint. With the rising incidence of pediatric meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD)and dry eye disease, their proportion among cases of abnormal blinking has also grown continuously.This article reviews the research progress on meibomian gland changes in children with abnormal blinking. It aims to provide guidance for the early prevention and clinical care of pediatric MGD, reduce the incidence of MGD, and shorten the treatment cycle, thereby providing a solid basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and precise prevention.

OBJECTIVE To preliminarily assess the horizontal sound localization and its influencing factors in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss during the acute phase.METHODS The azimuth discrimination test and azimuth identification test were completed,with the speech sound(65 dB SPL)as the stimulus.The minimum audible angle(MAA)and root-mean-square error(RMSE)were obtained,and the RMSE of the affected side and the healthy side were calculated respectively.According to the WHO(2021)hearing loss classification criteria,the data were analyzed based on the pure-tone average(PTA)of the affected ear.And the best resident hearing at each frequency of the affected ear was recorded.RESULTS The performance of the unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients in the sound localization varied greatly.Some performed close to the normal level,while others completely lost the ability to localize sound.The RMSE of the moderate hearing loss group(≥35 dB HL)was significantly higher than that of the normal hearing group(P<0.01),the MAA of the moderate to severe hearing loss group(≥50 dB HL)showed statistically significant differencescompared with normal hearing group(P<0.001).The RMSE of the affected side of patients in the severe and above hearing loss group was significantly larger than that of the healthy side.Regression analysis showed that the best resident hearing at each frequency of the affected ear was the most significant factor affecting MAA(R2=0.572,P<0.001)and RMSE(R2=0.768,P<0.001).CONCLUSION The horizontal sound localization of unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients in the acute phase varies greatly.When the PTA of the affected side reaches moderate hearing loss,the localization ability is significantly lower than that of normal-hearing individuals.The best resident hearing at each frequency of the affected ear is the key factor affecting the localization ability.

The conversion of abundant and low-cost biomass waste into highly efficient two-electron oxygen reduction(ORR)electrocatalyst is an important link in the degradation of pollutants in industrial wastewater through the electro-Fenton process.In this work,porous biocarbon materials doped with manganese and nitrogen(MnNBC)were prepared from corn stalk.The H2O2 selectivity of MnNBC in acidic media was up to 81% @0.6 Vvs RHE,also MnNBC exhibited a long-term stability in a 10-h uninterrupted lifetime test.The ORR activity of MnNBC could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the hierarchical porous structure,improved defect level and heteroatom doping.Moreover,MnNBC as a cathode material for the electro-Fenton system could completely degrade four kinds of common organic dye pollutants,e.g.,Rhodamine B,methyl orange,methylene blue and crystal violet(25 mg/L),respectively,within 40?60 min.The present study provided valuable insights into the transformation of corn stalk waste into efficient cathode materials for the electro-Fenton process.

Objective:To detect the expression of sialylated CD15 (CD15s) in the tumor cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma using a modified immunohistochemical approach.Methods:From 2009 to 2024, 53 cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma were collected in the Department of Pathology, Peking University Cancer Hospital, in which 21 cases that were CD15-negative or showed only focal weak positivity were selected. Immunohistochemical staining for CD15 was performed on a Leica automated stainer using three different antibody clones (MMA, Carb3, and IHC527). Tissue sections were digested with sialidase at varying concentrations and incubation times, followed by immunohistochemical staining with the MMA clone. Multiplex immunofluorescence was applied for co-staining of CD15 (MMA) and CD30 (JCM182), and analysis was conducted using APTIME and HALO software.Results:There were 30 male patients and 23 female patients, with an age range of 14 to 73 years and a median age of 32(26,46) years. None of the three CD15 antibody clones significantly improved the CD15 positive rate in the 14 completely negative and 7 weakly positive cases, with no notable differences observed among the clones( P>0.05). After sialidase digestion, tissue morphology remained well-preserved. Optimal CD15 staining was achieved with a 1∶1 diluted sialidase incubated at 37 ℃ for one hour. This treatment significantly enhanced the detection rate of CD15 antigen in Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Sialidase digestion effectively unveils sialylated CD15 expression in classical Hodgkin lymphoma, markedly improving its detection in HRS cells.

Objective To analyze anesthetic and analgesic effect of perioperovtive administration of esketamine in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG).Methods The clinical data of 120 patients who underwent OPCABG under gene-ral anesthesia were retrospectively collected.Patients were divided into an esketamine group(n=60)and a non-esketamine group(n=60)according to whether esketamine was used perioperatively.The patients in the esketamine group received esketamine(1 mg/kg)during anesthesia induction and postoperative patient-controlled analgesia with sufentanil(3 μg/kg)plus esketamine(2 mg/kg).Those in the non-esketamine group received sufentanil(2 μg/kg)during anesthesia induction and postoperative patient-controlled analgesia with sufentanil(3 μg/kg).The mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded at the time point of entering the room(T0),after anesthesia induction/before intubation(T1),1 min after intubation(T2),skin incision(T3),sternotomy(T4),after surgery and skin suture(T5),entering the ICU(T6),extubation(T7),24 hours after surgery(T8),and 48 hours after surgery(T9).The extubation time,Ramsay sedation scores,visual analog scale(VAS)scores,and adverse reactions were compared.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics and MAP and HR at T0 and T1 between the two groups(P＞0.05).From T2 to T9,MAP and HR in the esketamine group were significantly lower than those in the non-esketamine group(P＜0.05).The postoperative extubation time,Ramsay sedation score,and VAS score were significantly lower in the esketamine group than in the non-esketamine group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The perio-perative administration of esketamine in OPCABG can stabilize the hemodynamics,shorten the extubation time,and promote the recovery of patients undergoing OPCABG without increasing postoperative adverse reactions.
