Objective To analyze the biomechanical responses after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)based on personalized biomechanical parameters of the human eye.Methods Through the results from the correlation analysis between corneal stromal elastic modulus and biomechanical parameters,the cornea elastic modulus was predicted and the material parameters were obtained.Based on clinical measurement data,52 personalized myopic human eye models were reconstructed to analyze the corneal biomechanical response after SMILE.Results The biomechanical response of the cornea varied from patients,and the vertex displacement and stress of the corneal surface increased or decreased after SMILE.On average,when residual stromal thickness(RST)ranged from 278 μm to 332 μm and IOP was 16-20 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),the change of vertex displacement and stress on the corneal surface after SMILE were less than those under IOP=11-16 mmHg.Under RST＞332 μm and IOP=11-16 mmHg,the corneal biomechanics was relatively stable.In addition,the corrected diopters of patients increased,and the deformation of corneal surface after SMILE was more drastic.Conclusions RST and IOP are important factors influencing corneal biomechanics.The material parameters of corneal tissues were predicted based on corneal biomechanical parameters.The cutting profiles and surgical parameters of SMILE may be optimized through analyzing the surgical effect after refractive surgery by reconstructing personalized finite element model of human eyes.

Objective:To analyze the prediction of pathological classification of ground glass nodules based on artificial intelligence computed tomography (CT) quantitative parameters combined with histogram parameters.Methods:The clinical data of 268 suspected patients with ground glass nodules admitted to Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects. They were divided into pre invasive lesions group (100 cases) and invasive lesions group(168 cases) according to pathological classification. Basic data of patients with different pathological classifications and the CT characteristics were compared, the prediction of pathological classification of ground glass nodules based on CT quantitative parameters combined and histogram parameters were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The edge and boundary of the tumor, shape of the lesion, the peripheral signs of the lesion and the boundary between the two groups had statistical differences ( P<0.05). The CT quantitative parameters of maximum diameter, lesion volume, average CT value in the invasive lesions group and pre invasive lesions group had statistical differences: (15.29 ± 3.20) cm vs. (9.75 ± 2.14) cm, (1.54 ± 0.31) cm 3 vs. (0.51 ± 0.10) cm 3, (- 328.16 ± 46.35) HU vs. (-541.25 ± 100.30) HU, P<0.05. The CT histogram parameters of inproportion of solid components, entropy and maximum CT value in the invasive lesions group and pre invasive lesions group had statistical differences: (66.39 ± 13.25)% vs. (42.65 ± 11.20)%, 4.31 ± 0.52 vs. 3.32 ± 0.39, (-75.34 ± 21.27) HU vs. (-141.72 ± 32.43)HU, P<0.05. Compared with the single prediction of CT quantitative parameters and CT histogram parameters, the combined prediction of the two parameters had higher value in predicting different pathological subtypes of ground glass nodules (the area under the curve was 0.877, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The combined detection of CT quantitative parameters and histogram parameters based on artificial intelligence can effectively evaluate the invasion status of ground glass nodules, which is beneficial for improving the detection of different pathological types of ground glass nodules.

Objective To develop a risk management system for complications associated with peripheral venous indwelling needles and to evaluate its application effect in order to reduce the risk of related complications.Methods We designed a comprehensive risk management system for peripheral intravenous indwelling needle complications,integrating specialized evidence-based guidelines with clinical practice insights,including 5 modules:intelligent assessment and decision support,intelligent inspection reminders,educational modules,collaborative case management procedures,and a knowledge base.Patients admitted to the neurology and internal classification metabolism departments of a tertiary hospital in Jilin Province were conveniently selected as the research subjects.Patients were assigned to a control group(from May to July 2022,before the implementation of the system)and an experimental group(from September to December 2022,after the implementation of the system).The incidence of complications,duration of indwelling needle,compliance rate of core indicators for nursing quality and number of nursing consultations were compared between the groups.Additionally,a self-administered questionnaire was used to assess clinical nurses'evaluations of the system.Results A total of 189 patients were included in the experimental group and 177 patients in the control group.The incidence of complications associated with peripheral intravenous indwelling needles was lower than that in the control group.The duration of indwelling peripheral intravenous needles was longer than that in the control group.The quality compliance rate of peripheral venous indwelling needle care in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group,and the number of consultation cases in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group.Comparisons between the 2 groups showed statistically significant differences for all indicators(P＜0.05).The nurses'recognition rates for the system's user-friendliness,professional guidance,and patient benefit were 77.78％,81.74％,and 82.13％,respectively.Conclusion The application of a peripheral vein indwelling needle complication risk management system can reduce the incidence of complications,prolong the duration of indwelling,and improve nursing quality.Nurses have a high recognition of this system.

Objective The purpose of the study is to breed homozygous interferon-γ knockout(IFN-γ-/-)mice and optimize the breeding strategies to achieve continuous and stable reproduction of IFN-γ-/-mice,which could be used as an ideal animal model for fundamental research.Methods Initially,heterozygous IFN-γ knockout(IFN-γ+/-)C57BL/6J mice were used as the parental generation for breeding.Subsequently,3 breeding strategies were employed using the offspring:(1)female heterozygotes mated with male heterozygotes;(2)male homozygotes mated with female heterozygotes;(3)female homozygotes mated with male homozygotes.The number and survival rate of IFN-γ-/-mice were compared across the three breeding strategies to determine the optimal breeding strategy.Under the optimal strategy,the effects of female mating age and diet type on the reproductive performance of IFN-γ-/-mice were further evaluated.Data from the first three litters of 60 IFN-γ-/-female mice,including litter size,number of weaning survivors,and weaning survival rate,were recorded and analyzed.In addition,the effects of dietary supplementation of pregnant mice and environmental optimization measures,such as the provision of shelters,were evaluated.Results Under conditions where the nutritional needs of pregnant mice were adequately met by supplementation with egg yolk and sunflower seeds,mating of female and male IFN-γ-/-mice result ed in a litter size of five to eight IFN-γ-/-mice,demonstrating higher efficiency compared to other breeding strategies.In addition,diet type and mating age significantly influenced female reproductive performance.When 7～9 weeks old female IFN-γ-/-mice were mated to male IFN-γ-/-mice and fed a high-protein breeding diet,litter size(6.9±1.7),weaning survival number(6.5％±2.0％)and weaning survival rate(93.2％±17.8％)were higher than those under other conditions.In addition,providing shelters to prevent fighting between breeding pairs further improved reproductive outcomes.Conclusions By adopting an optimized breeding strategy,combined with a high-protein diet,nutritional supplementation,and standardized mating age management,the breeding efficiency and stability of IFN-γ-/-mice can be significantly improved.This provides a reliable animal model for related research.
