BACKGROUND:Traditional treatments for corneal alkali burns are limited,especially in controlling inflammation,preventing neovascularization,and inhibiting corneal scarring.Natural,synthetic,or composite materials provide a wide range of treatment options.However,the mechanism by which biomaterials promote corneal alkali burn repair has not yet been systematically understood. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current research on biomaterials in promoting corneal alkali burn repair in and outside China,and review the mechanism and application of biomaterials in repairing corneal alkali burn. METHODS:The first author searched"cornea,alkali burn,amniotic membrane,hyaluronic acid,collagen,chitosan,polymer materials"as Chinese keywords and"amniotic membrane,hyaluronic acid,collagen,chitosan,polymer,cornea,alkali burn"as English keywords in PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,and WanFang databases.According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,76 eligible articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In the field of corneal alkali burn repair,biomaterials such as amniotic membrane,hyaluronic acid,collagen,chitosan,and degradable polymer materials have been widely studied and applied.Each of these biomaterials has its own characteristics,advantages,and disadvantages,and stands out in different aspects.(2)First and foremost,amniotic membranes are considered one of the most promising biomaterials due to their abundance of bioactive factors.They are biocompatible and can regulate the corneal inflammatory response.However,there are issues with donor shortages and susceptibility to infectious diseases.(3)Hyaluronic acid has good moisturizing properties and biocompatibility,and is able to improve the survival rate of corneal cells and increase corneal transparency.(4)The good biocompatibility and scaffold structure of collagen enable the promotion of corneal cell adhesion and proliferation,as well as the reconstruction of corneal tissue structure.(5)Chitosan is recognized for its good biocompatibility and degradability,making it suitable as a carrier for drug delivery and cell transplantation.(6)Degradable polymer materials have good controllability over degradation and can provide a good support and delivery platform for the repair of corneal alkali burns,but further research is needed on their stability and biocompatibility.(7)Overall,there is currently no single biomaterial that can completely address the repair problem of corneal alkali burns,and each biomaterial has its own specific application scenarios and limitations.(8)Future research directions should focus on further improving the properties and structure of biomaterials,exploring more effective combination applications,and deeply understanding the interaction mechanism between biomaterials and corneal tissue,in order to enhance the therapeutic effect of corneal alkali burns and the quality of life of patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and outcomes of recompensation in patients with autoimmune hepatitis （AIH）-related decompensated cirrhosis， to identify independent predictive factors， and to construct a nomogram prediction model for the probability of recompensation. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among the adult patients with AIH-related decompensated cirrhosis who were admitted to The Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to August 2023 （n=211）. The primary endpoint was achievement of recompensation， and the secondary endpoint was liver-related death or liver transplantation. According to the outcome of the patients at the end of the follow-up， the patients were divided into the recompensation group （n=16） and the persistent decompensation group（n=150）.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance， and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data with heterogeneity of variance； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis； the Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to identify independent predictive factors， and a nomogram model was constructed and validated. ResultsA total of 211 patients were enrolled， with a median age of 55.0 years and a median follow-up time of 44.0 months， and female patients accounted for 87.2%. Among the 211 patients， 61 （with a cumulative proportion of 35.5%） achieved recompensation. Compared with the persistent decompensation group， the recompensation group had significantly higher white blood cell count， platelet count （PLT）， total bilirubin （TBil）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， total bile acid， prothrombin time， international normalized ratio （INR）， SMA positive rate， Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD） score， Child-Pugh score， and rate of use of glucocorticoids （all P0.05）， as well as significantly lower age at baseline， number of complications， and death/liver transplantation rate （all P0.05）. At 3 and 12 months after treatment， the recompensation group had continuous improvements in AST， TBil， INR， IgG， MELD score， and Child-Pugh score， which were significantly lower than the values in the persistent decompensation group （all P0.05）， alongside with continuous increases in PLT and albumin， which were significantly higher than the values in the persistent decompensation group （P0.05）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline ALT （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.067， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.010 — 1.127， P=0.021）， IgG （HR=0.463，95%CI：0.258 — 0.833， P=0.010）， SMA positivity （HR=3.122，95%CI：1.768 — 5.515， P0.001）， and glucocorticoid therapy （HR=20.651，95%CI：8.744 — 48.770， P0.001） were independent predictive factors for recompensation， and the nomogram model based on these predictive factors showed excellent predictive performance （C-index=0.87，95%CI：0.84 — 0.90）. ConclusionAchieving recompensation significantly improves clinical outcomes in patients with AIH-related decompensated cirrhosis. Baseline SMA positivity， a high level of ALT， a low level of IgG， and corticosteroid therapy are independent predictive factors for recompensation. The predictive model constructed based on these factors can provide a basis for decision-making in individualized clinical management.

Objective To explore the effect of multi-sensory artificial intelligence feedback gait training on the recovery of walking function in stroke patients based on enriched environment theory. Methods From July,2021 to June,2023,a total of 80 stroke patients in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were randomly divided into control group(n=40)and experimental group(n=40).Both groups received rou-tine rehabilitation in the lying and seated positions,for 40 minutes.The control group received ground walking training,for 20 minutes,while the experimental group received multi-sensory feedback gait training in enriched environment,for 20 minutes.Before and after four weeks intervention,the digital motion monitoring treadmill was used to mearsure step speed,step length,hip and knee swing angle and weight symmetry.They were as-sessed with Berg Balance scale(BBS),Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities(FMA-LE)and Barthel Index(BI). Results After intervention,the hip swing angle,step length of both sides and step speed significantly improved in both groups(|t|＞3.162,P＜0.05),and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|＞2.568,P＜0.05);the average knee joint swing angle and bilateral weight-bearing symmetry significantly im-proved in the experimental group(|t|＞3.249,P＜0.01);the scores of BBS,FMA-LE and BI improved in both groups(|t|＞3.569,P＜0.01),and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|＞2.922,P＜0.05). Conclusion Multi-sensory feedback gait training based on enriched environment theory could effectively improve the walking and balance of stroke patients,and increase the ability of independence.

Objective To conduct Rh blood group serological testing and third-generation sequencing(TGS)on 22 RhD variant voluntary blood donors in Chongqing and explore the phenotypic distribution and genotyping of RhD variants in Chongqing.Methods From January to August 2023,individuals who participated in blood donation in our blood center were selected as the study objects.RhD variant phenotype identification was performed using routine serological methods.Once the RhD variants were identified,tests on different antigenic epitopes of RhD were conducted using a D-screen assay kit.Furthermore,after the genomic DNA from 22 RhD variant blood samples was extracted,imbraided primers design and multi-segment amplification and splicing were used to sequence the full-length RHD gene for TGS.The RHD gene sequence was analyzed using SnapGene software.Results Among the 22 RhD variants,8 were DVI type 3(36.36%),with the main mutation of RHD-CE(3-6)-D hybrid allele.Six cases(27.27%)showed partial weak D15 type,with the main mutation of c.845G>A.There were 6 cases of Asia type Del(27.27%),with the main mutation of c.1227G>A.One case was weak D17 type with a mutation of c.340C>T and 1 case speculated to be partial D(c.491A>T,p.Asp164Val,missense mutation).Conclusion The most common RhD variant phenotype among blood donors in Chongqing is DVI type 3,and the full-length haplotype sequence of RHD variant alleles can be obtained by Pacific Bioscience single-molecule real-time sequencing(SMRT).

[Objective]To investigate the association between screen content and the frequency of screen exposure at the age of one and a half years and hyperactive behavior in preschool,and to explore how the association is affected by the interaction between outdoor activities and screen behaviors,which could provide theoretical basis and feasible solutions for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in childhoood.[Methods]The survey was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023 in Huicheng District,Huizhou (China) stratified by whole cluster sampling methods. Parents and teachers of 5648 children in 61 kindergartens were sampled for questionnaire surveys. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate hyperactive behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate basic demographic information of children,screen content,frequency of screen exposure and outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between video screen behavior and hyperactive behavior and its interaction with outdoor activities by controlling for covariates such as children's age,gender,and parental education.[Results]Result showed the overall prevalence of 3.2％ for hyperactive behavior,2.1％ for conduct problems,2.1％ for hyperactivity problems,1.3％ for inattention-passivity problems,and 0.9％ for hyperactivity index. After adjusting for confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that screen exposure of "two to four times a week" at one and a half years old was associated with an increased detection rate of hyperactive behaviors in preschool children,with an estimated ORs (95％ CI) of 1.682 (1.141,2.480). Daily screen exposure was associated with increased detection rates of hyperactive behavior,conduct problems,hyperactivity issues,inattention-passivity problems,and hyperactivity index in pre-school age. The estimated ORs (95％ CI) were 2.136 (1.218,3.746),2.321 (1.185,4.546),2.300 (1.208,4.380),2.776 (1.267,6.085) and 3.640 (1.525,8.687),respectively. But the above associations were not found in children who were engaged in daily outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years (P value for interaction<0.001). No association was found between screen content and hyperactive behavior (P>0.05).[Conclusions]Frequency of screen exposure in early childhood is significantly associated with hyperactive behavior problems in preschool,and outdoor activities could weaken the correlation between high-frequency screen exposure and hyperactive behavior,suggesting that parents and schools should prioritize scientifically guiding children's video viewing behavior and outdoor activities,ensuring a well-arranged daily life,to lay a good foundation for the healthy development of children's behavior.

Objective To comprehensively analyze the effectiveness of exercise training-based respiratory rehabilitation therapy on patients with occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as "pneumoconiosis"). MethodsLiterature on randomized controlled trials of exercise training-based respiratory rehabilitation therapy for pneumoconiosis patients published from the establishment of the database to July 2023 was retrieved from academic systems such as the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine using bibliometrics method. The RevMan 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis of the selected literatures. Subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the source of study heterogeneity. The funnel plot method was used to test publication bias. Results A total of 55 articles were included, involving 2 436 pneumoconiosis patients in the experimental group and 2 405 pneumoconiosis patients in the control group. The result of random or fixed effect model showed that the six minutes walking distance, the total score of Short from Health Survey-36, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁), FEV₁/FVC, arterial partial pressure of oxygen of pneumoconiosis patients increased after respiratory rehabilitation therapy (all P<0.05), while the total score of the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide decreased compared with the conventional treatment (all P<0.05). The result of subgroup analysis showed that the total score of the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, FEV₁, and the index of arterial partial pressure of oxygen of pneumoconiosis patients was better in the rehabilitation treatment for ≥six months compared with those

The management of surplus drugs is an important part of drug administration. At present, China′s medical institutions are in the initial exploration stage in managing surplus drugs.This study analyzed the causes, safety hazards, management policies, and management problems of surplus drugs in medical institutions, and proposed targeted countermeasures and suggestions, including establishing unified and standardized management methods, consensus or guidelines, optimizing internal management of medical institutions, improving the management awareness of medical staff, and clarifying the benefits of surplus drugs, so as to provide references for medical institutions to manage surplus drugs reasonably.

To standardize the management of surplus drugs, improve the efficiency of medical resource utilization, promote the rational use of medical insurance funds, and reduce the financial burden on patients, a large tertiary hospital implemented a practice for managing surplus drugs starting in May 2023. This practice encompassed multiple aspects, including the establishment of organizational structure, clarification of responsibilities, formulation of billing for fractional doses and a reasonable surplus drugs list, establishment of standardized management processes, and allocation of special funds for surplus drugs. These efforts had initially achieved effective management of surplus drugs. As of November 2023, the management of surplus drugs had benefited 136 908 patients, with an average savings of 873.61 yuan per patient and a cumulative savings of approximately 34.7 million yuan in medical insurance funds. This practice had effectively reduced the wastage of medical resources, and could provide references for promoting standardized management of surplus drugs in medical institutions of China. In the future, the hospital should further expand the coverage of surplus drugs, ensure patients′ rights to informed consent, and establish a comprehensive performance incentive mechanism to promote the sustainable development of surplus drug management.

Relapsing polychondritis is a rare systemic autoimmune disease, which involves a wide range of sites, has atypical symptoms, and has no specific means of examination, resulting in very difficult early diagnosis, which seriously affects the prognosis of patients. We report a case of an elderly female patient with respiratory symptoms, discomfort symptoms only appeared for more than 1 month, chest CT and laryngoscopy showed no obvious abnormalities. The effect of antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatment is not good. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed that trachea, bronchus, nasal cartilage, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage were involved. After pathological examination, the patient was clinically diagnosed as relapsing polychondritis. After treatment with methylprednisolone and tripterygium glycoside tablets, the patient had no recurrence at present.
