AIM: To investigate the abnormal conditions and change patterns of accommodative facility in patients with different refractive states before and after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)surgery.METHODS:A prospective clinical cohort study was conducted. A total of 59 patients(118 eyes)who underwent SMILE surgery and had visual function files established in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly selected, including 37 males and 22 females, aged 18-35 years(with an average age of 25.19±5.65 years). According to the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE), they were divided into two groups: the low-to-moderate myopia group(SE≥-6.00 DS)with 40 patients(80 eyes), and the high myopia group(SE<-6.00 DS)with 19 patients(38 eyes). The monocular and binocular accommodative facility before surgery and at 1 wk and 1 mo after surgery were compared, and the changes in accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery in the two groups of patients were analyzed.RESULTS:All surgeries were completed successfully. In the low-to-moderate myopia group, 33 cases(66 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 17.5%(7/40). In the high myopia group, 15 patients(30 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 21.1%(4/19). After SMILE surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity and SE of both low-to-moderate myopia and high myopia were significantly improved(all P<0.05). The accommodative facility of the right eyes in all the patients at 1 mo after surgery was better than that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.002, 0.006), the accommodative facility of the left eyes was significantly increased at 1 mo after surgery than that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.005), and the binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly increased compared with that before surgery(P<0.017). Furthermore, there were statistical significance in accommodative facility of the right eyes in the low-to-moderate group at 1 mo compared with that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.011, 0.004); it was significantly increased in the left eyes at 1 mo after surgery compared with that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.001), and binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.001). Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the right, left and binocular accommodative facility of patients in the high myopia group(all P>0.017).CONCLUSION: After SMILE surgery, the monocular accommodative facility shows a transient decrease and then exceeds the preoperative level at 1 mo after surgery, and the binocular accommodative facility gradually improves after surgery. SMILE surgery has a positive impact on the monocular and binocular accommodative facility in patients with low-to-moderate myopia, but has no significant impact on the accommodative facility in patients with high myopia. It is of clinical significance to strengthen the detection of monocular and binocular accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery.

Objective To introduce the modeling method of pendulum-like modified rat abdominal heart heterotopic transplantation model and evaluate the quality of the model. Methods An operator without transplantation experience performed 15 consecutive models, recorded the time of each step, changes in body weight and modified Stanford scores, and calculated the surgical success rate, postoperative 1-week survival rate and technical success rate. Ultrasound examinations was performed in 1 week postoperatively. Results The times for donor heart acquisition, donor heart processing, recipient preparation and transplantation anastomosis were (14.3±1.4) min, (3.5±0.6) min, (13.6±2.1) min and (38.3±5.2) min respectively. The surgical success rate was 87% (13/15), and the survival rate 1 week after operative was 100% (13/13). The improved Stanford score indicated a technical success rate of 92% (12/13), and the postoperative 1-week ultrasound examination showed that grafts with Stanford scores ≥3 had detectable pulsation and blood flow signals. Conclusions The pendulum-like modified rat abdominal heart heterotopic transplantation improved model further optimizes the operational steps with a high success rate and stable quality, may be chosen as a modeling option for basic research in heart transplantation in the future.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is the most common clinical chronic liver disease with a global incidence of about 25%, which could progress to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and posing a serious threat to human health. At present, China has not approved any therapeutic drugs for marketing, and the research and development of new drugs is imminent. It is difficult to achieve great efficacy with a single medication due to the complex mechanism of NAFLD. The combination of several drugs with different pharmacological mechanisms is an inevitable trend for the future treatment of NAFLD, which is expected to reduce the adverse effects of the drug and play a synergistic effect to produce better efficacy. This paper reviews the latest clinical research progress of NAFLD combined drugs, so as to provide a reference for the subsequent new drug development and clinical rational drugs application of NAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of nasal non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) combined with minimally invasive administration of pulmonary surfactant in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in extremely low birth weight premature infants.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 106 premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome and extremely low birth weight who were admitted to the Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from July 2021 to July 2023 and had indications for non-invasive respiratory support therapy. They were divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 53 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) combined with minimally invasive administration of pulmonary surfactant, while the observation group was treated with NHFOV combined with minimally invasive administration of pulmonary surfactant. After 24 hours of treatment, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) was compared between two groups of children, and serum levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) were measured. The non-invasive ventilation time, total oxygen inhalation time, mechanical ventilation rate, >1 use of pulmonary surfactant, complications, and mortality rate of the patient were recorded. Results:Before treatment and at 1 and 24 hours after treatment, the PaCO 2 levels of the two groups of children gradually decreased, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05); After 1 and 24 hours of treatment, the PaCO 2 levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The mechanical ventilation rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05); There was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in the non-invasive ventilation time, total oxygen inhalation time, and usage rate of pulmonary surfactant >1 time between the two groups of children. After treatment, the serum levels of TGF-β1 and HMGB1 in both groups of children decreased compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (all P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, lung gas leakage, nasal injury, and mortality between the two groups of children (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Minimally invasive administration of NHFOV combined with pulmonary surfactant in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in very low birth weight premature infants is helpful to improve CO 2 retention, reduce the proportion of mechanical ventilation, and does not increase the complications and mortality related to respiratory support treatment.

Objective:To define the definition and connotation of nursing shame by using Walker-Avant classical conceptual analysis.Methods:Literature was systematically searched from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, ScienceDirect and CINAHL, and articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on Walker-Avant classical conceptual analysis, the concept of nursing shame was analyzed from the aspects of defining attribute, antecedent factors and post factors.Results:The three defining attributes of nursing shame included negative self-evaluation, avoidance and withdrawal and self-breakthrough. Antecedent factors included non-compliance with self-expectations and clinical bullying. Post-effects included physical and mental impairment and departure of nurses, increased patient burden and hindered expression. However, nursing shame could also be positive by cultivating shame resilience and become a psychological motivation for nurses to reflect and adjust themselves.Conclusions:The conceptual attribute of nursing shame is clarified through conceptual analysis, which lays a theoretical foundation for the future development or localization of targeted measurement tools to effectively identify and deal with nursing shame.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation is the main cause of primary graft dysfunction, which will subsequently reduce the function of lung allograft and lower the overall survival rate of lung transplant recipients. As a physiological regulatory molecule, hydrogen molecule has the functions of anti-inflammation, easing oxidative stress, alleviating direct cell injury and mitigating epithelial edema. Recent studies have demonstrated that hydrogen molecule and its products (hydrogen and hydrogen-rich solution) could significantly mitigate ischemia-reperfusion injury and postoperative complications after lung transplantation. In this article, the protective effect and exact mechanism of hydrogen molecule and its products in lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide theoretical basis for the application of hydrogen molecule and its products as a novel treatment for lung transplantation-related complications, enhance the overall prognosis and improve the quality of life of lung transplant recipients

Objective To modify the mouse model of orthotopic left lung transplantation from different perspectives, aiming to establish a simpler, faster and stabler mouse model of lung transplantation. Methods Based on preliminary modified rat model of orthotopic left lung transplantation established by our team, varying extent of modifications were made regarding the tracheal intubation, cannula preparation and anastomosis procedures of orthotopic left lung transplantation in the recipient mice. Orthotopic left lung transplantation in 40 mice were performed by an operator with microsurgical experience. The dissection of the recipient's hilar structure was carried out at the plane of the hilar clamp model within the reverse-view, and the three branches (left main bronchus, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein) of the pulmonary hilum were anastomosed in turn by the "pendulum" anastomosis method. The operation time of each procedure was recorded. The recipient mice were sacrificed at postoperative 2 weeks, and the incidence of postoperative complications was recorded. Results Lung transplantation was successfully completed in 40 mice, with no bronchial and vascular tearing or twisting, and no bleeding at the anastomosis site. The overall cardiopulmonary procurement time was (10.7±1.5) min, cannula preparation time was (16.2±1.5) min, cold ischemia time was (25.1±2.4) min, warm ischemia time was (19.4±1.6) min, and the total operation time was (57.2±2.9) min, respectively. During the follow-up from 6 to 14 days after surgery, one recipient mouse died of pleural effusion, probably caused by infection. No pneumothorax, thrombosis or atelectasis was found in the remaining recipient mice during postoperative follow-up. Conclusions The modified mouse model of orthotopic left lung transplantation based on "pendulum" anastomosis of the reverse-view plane possesses multiple advantages of short operation time, high success rate and few complications, which is expected to become an alternative model of studying pathological changes after lung transplantation and worthy of further application.

Background::Previous studies have revealed that diabetes mellitus (DM) promotes disease progress of gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to further investigating whether DM advanced lymph nodes (LNs) metastasis in GC.Methods::The clinicopathologic data of GC patients with >15 examined LN (ELN) between October 2004 and December 2019 from a prospectively maintained database were included. The observational outcomes included the number (N3b status) and anatomical distribution (N3 stations) of metastatic LN (MLN).Results::A total of 2142 eligible patients were included in the study between October 2004 and December 2019. N3 stations metastasis (26.8% in DM vs. 19.3% in non-DM, P = 0.026) and N3b status (18.8% in DM vs. 12.8% in non-DM, P = 0.039) were more advanced in the DM group, and multivariate logistic regression analyses confirmed that DM was an independent factor of developing N3 stations metastasis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.771, P= 0.011) and N3b status (OR= 1.752, P= 0.028). Also, multivariate analyses determined DM was independently associated with more MLN (β = 1.424, P = 0.047). The preponderance of N3 stations metastasis (DM vs. non-DM, T1-2: 2.2% vs. 4.9%, T3: 29.0% vs. 20.3%, T4a: 38.9% vs. 25.8%, T4b: 50.0% vs. 36.6%; ELN16-29: 8.6% vs. 10.4%, ELN30-44: 27.9% vs. 20.5%, ELN ≥ 45: 37.7% vs. 25.3%), N3b status (DM vs. non-DM, T1-2: 0% vs. 1.7%, T3: 16.1% vs. 5.1%, T4a: 27.8% vs. 19.1%, T4b: 44.0% vs. 28.0%; ELN16-29: 8.6% vs. 7.9%, ELN30-44: 18.0% vs. 11.8%, ELN ≥ 45: 26.4% vs. 17.3%), and the number of MLN (DM vs. non-DM, T1-2: 0.4 vs. 1.1, T3: 8.6 vs. 5.2, T4a: 9.7 vs. 8.6, T4b: 17.0 vs. 12.8; ELN16-29: 3.6 vs. 4.6, ELN30-44: 5.8 vs. 5.5, ELN ≥ 45: 12.0 vs. 7.7) of DM group increased with the advancement of primary tumor depth stage and raising of ELN. Conclusions::DM was an independent risk factor for promoting LN metastasis. The preponderance of LN involvement in the DM group was aggravated with the advancement of tumor depth.
