ObjectiveTo analyze the microbial culture positivity rate, pathogen spectrum, prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), and differences among donor procurement sources in corneas from the Eye Bank of Guangdong Province, and to provide evidence for eye bank quality control and the prevention of post-keratoplasty infections. MethodsThis retrospective study included 7 442 donor corneas procured by the Eye Bank of Guangdong Province and used for keratoplasty at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, between 2018 and 2025. During surgery, donor corneoscleral rim tissue was excised for bacterial and fungal culture. Culture-positive specimens underwent microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Culture-positive corneas were compared across study years, pathogen categories, and donor procurement sources. ResultsOf the 7 442 donor corneas, 251 were culture-positive, corresponding to an overall culture positivity rate of 3.37%, with annual rates ranging from 1.50% to 5.31%. Among culture-positive corneas, 178 (70.92%) yielded bacteria alone, 72 (28.68%) yielded fungi alone, and 1 (0.40%) yielded both bacteria and fungi. Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. were the predominant fungal isolates. Gram-negative bacteria were more frequently isolated than Gram-positive bacteria. The most common bacterial isolates were Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Enterococcus faecium, and Pseudomonas fluorescens. MDROs accounted for 75.47% of bacterial isolates, predominantly Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Enterococcus faecium, and demonstrated an increasing trend over the study period. Donor corneas procured through the Hospital Cornea Retrieval Program (HCRP) had a higher culture positivity rate than those obtained through Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) (P<0.000 1). Among culture-positive donor corneas, the proportion of fungal culture-positive corneas was significantly higher in the HCRP group than in the OPO group (P=0.001 5), whereas the proportion of MDROs among bacterial culture-positive corneas was significantly higher in the OPO group than that in the HCRP group (P=0.005 2). ConclusionsThe overall culture positivity rate of donor corneas from the Eye Bank of Guangdong Province is relatively low, indicating that the risk of microbial contamination is controlled. However, pathogen profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns varies by procurement source. Ongoing microbiological and antimicrobial resistance surveillance, together with optimized donor risk assessment and timely reporting of culture results, may further improve eye bank quality management and help inform strategies for preventing post-keratoplasty infections.

ObjectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanisms by which Acan-Gal-1 regulates macrophage immune phenotypes and Annexin A2/S100A10 membrane translocation in Angiostrongylus cantonensis. MethodsImmunofluorescence assay (IFA) was performed to determine the subcellular localization of Annexin A2 and S100A10 in macrophages. Flow cytometry and ELISA were used to assess functional changes in macrophage. siRNA interference of Annexin A2 was used to detect the effect of Acan-Gal-1 on various indicators. The expression levels of related genes and proteins were analyzed by Western blot, qRT-PCR, and ELISA methods. Bioinformatics analyses were conducted to characterize the structural features of Acan-Gal-1, and sequence alignment and molecular interaction prediction were performed to explore its potential interaction with Annexin A2. ResultsThis study found that Acan-Gal-1 can reverse LPS-induced promotion of macrophage migration and phagocytic function; it significantly upregulated M2-type markers in macrophages (Arg-1, IL-10, TGF-β) while inhibiting the expression of M1-type markers (iNOS, IL-6, IL-1β) induced by LPS. Acan-Gal-1 reduced the protein levels of Annexin A2 in macrophages under an immunologically activated state; after interfering with Annexin A2 expression, Acan-Gal-1 not only fails to induce macrophages to transition to an immunologically inhibitory phenotype but also fails to inhibit LPS-induced transition of macrophages to an immunologically activated phenotype. Although Acan-Gal-1 did not affect the expression of Annexin A2 or its chaperone protein S100A10 in macrophages, it markedly promoted their translocation to the plasma membrane. ConclusionsAcan-Gal-1 facilitates the enrichment of the Annexin A2/S100A10 complex at the macrophage membrane, thereby exerting immunomodulatory effects on macrophage polarization.

Objective:To investigate the practical value of pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube combined with single-needle suture for pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 65 patients with pancreatic head or periampullary tumors who underwent LPD at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2021 and June 2024 were retrospectively analysed. Among them, 31 were male and 34 were female, aged (57.7±13.3) years. The patients were divided into two groups based on the method of pancreaticojejunostomy: 22 patients who underwent pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube single-needle suture pancreaticojejunos-tomy were included in the study group, 43 patients who underwent traditional pancreatic duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy were included in the control group. The clinical data of the patients, including gender, age, operation time, pancreaticojejunostomy time, and postoperative complications, etc. were recorded.Results:Compared with the control group, the pancreaticojejunostomy time [(25.3±2.4) min vs. (47.0±3.9) min] and operation time [(425.2±52.1) min vs. (453.7±30.8) min] of the study group were both shortened, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative complication rate between the study group and the control group [18.2% (4/22) vs. 34.9% (15/43), P=0.161]. The incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula in the study group was lower than that in the control group [4.5% (1/22) vs. 30.2% (13/43)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.024). Conclusion:Pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube combined with single-needle suture pancreaticojejunostomy is safe and effective in LPD. Compared with traditional pancreatic duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy, pancreatic duct bind with supporting tube combined with single-needle suture pancreaticojejunostomy has advantages in terms of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula rate, operation time, and pancreaticojejunostomy time.

Gallbladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the biliary tract, characterized by a stealthy onset, high invasiveness, and poor prognosis. The 5-year survival rate of gallbladder cancer patients is only 5%-20%. Currently, radical surgery remains the only potentially curative method for gallbladder cancer. Historically, gallbladder cancer was once considered a contraindication for laparoscopic surgery. In recent years, with the improvement of preoperative diagnosis level of gallbladder cancer, progress in surgical techniques and laparoscopic equipment, an increasing number of clinicians have explored and recognized the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of gallbladder cancer. This review summarizes the latest advances in laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder cancer.
