AIM:To investigate the mechanism of reduced tear secretion in depression-related dry eye rats based on 5-HT/TRPV4/AQP5.METHODS:Healthy SD male rats were established with chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)method to establish a depression-induced dry eye model(n=8), and the control group was blank rats(n=8). The ELISA method was used to compare the 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)in serum and hippocampal tissue of the two groups, and the HE sections of lacrimal gland and AQP5 immunohistochemistry were observed. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of 5-HT3R, TRPV4 and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland tissue of the two groups of rats.RESULTS:The tear secretion in the depression-induced group was significantly reduced(P=0.001), the serum and hippocampal 5-HT levels were significantly reduced(all P<0.05), the expression of AQP5 antibody in the lacrimal gland immunohistochemistry was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.001), the expression of 5-HT3R, TRPV4 and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland was significantly reduced(all P<0.05), and no obvious inflammatory cells were found in the lacrimal gland tissue sections.CONCLUSION:Depression-related dry eye may occur through a non-inflammatory 5-HT/TRPV4/AQP5 mechanism.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of using a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach to improve anterior column screw fixation for the treatment of transverse + posterior wall acetabular fractures.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the data of 21 patients who had been treated with a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach to improve anterior column screw fixation for transverse + posterior wall acetabular fractures at Department of Orthopaedics, Weifang People's Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023. There were 11 males and 10 females with an age of (51.3±15.5) years. The time from injury to surgery was (10.4±3.6) days. The anterior column screw fixation was improved as follows: screws were implanted 1 to 2 cm in front of the apex of the great notch of the external iliac plate of the pelvis to penetrate out at the upper branch root of the pubic ramus, with the whole screw fully located within the bony channel. Such indexes were recorded as surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency for improved placement of anterior column screws, fracture healing time, incidence of complications, and fracture reduction and hip joint function at the last follow-up.Results:For this cohort, surgical time was (120.9±40.7) minutes, intraoperative blood loss (330.2±65.9) mL, and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency for improved placement of anterior column screws (6.2±2.3) times. The 21 patients were followed up for (21.5±5.9) months. All fractures achieved bony union after (3.2±1.1) months. Incision fat liquefaction occurred in 1 patient after surgery and symptoms of sciatic nerve injury were observed in 2 patients. Follow-ups observed no such complications as loosening or breakage of internal fixators. According to the Matta scoring criteria, the quality of fracture reduction at the last follow-up was evaluated as anatomical reduction in 15 cases, as satisfactory reduction in 4 cases, as acceptable reduction in 2 cases, giving a satisfaction rate of 90.5% (19/21). According to the improved Merle d'Aubigné & Poster scoring criteria, hip function was evaluated as excellent in 16 cases, as good in 2 cases, and as fair in 3 cases, giving an excellent and good rate of 85.7% (18/21).Conclusion:It is effective to use a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach to improve anterior column screw fixation for the treatment of transverse + posterior wall acetabular fractures, showing advantages of reduced surgical time and intraoperative bleeding.

Objective:To investigate the necessity of internal fixation of the fibular fracture in the treatment of degree Ⅱ ankle supination-external rotation injury by the Dias-Tachdjian classification in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 69 children with ankle fracture (degree Ⅱ ankle supination-external rotation injury by the Dias-Tachdjian classification) who had been treated at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, The People's Hospital of Weifang and Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Tianjin Hospital from January 2015 to October 2021. There were 41 males and 28 females with an age of (10.1±1.4) years, and 37 left and 32 right sides affected. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether internal fixation of the fibular fracture was performed. Group A consisted of 21 cases with fibular internal fixation and group B of 48 cases without fibular internal fixation. The preoperative data, operation time and operation expenses were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. At the last follow-up, the anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of bilateral full length lower limbs and ankle joints were taken; the lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA) and the anterior distal tibial angle (ADTA) on the affected side, and the disparity between bilateral ankle tibiotalar angles were measured; ankle function was assessed according to the ankle-hindfoot score of American Association of Foot and Ankle Surgery (AOFAS); the occurrence of premature physeal closure (PPC) was recorded.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (19.5±4.1) months. At the last follow-up, the LDTA on the affected side was 89.6° (87.9°, 90.5°) in group A and 88.6°±1.9° in group B; the ADTA on the affected side was 80.9° (79.0°, 81.4°) in group A and 80.0° (78.6°, 81.2°) in group B; the disparity between bilateral ankle tibiotalar angles was 1.1°±0.5° in group A and 1.2°±0.5° in group B; the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was (89.5±5.2) points in group A and 89.0 (87.0, 92.0) points in group B. There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the above items ( P>0.05). The incidence of PPC was, respectively, 14.3% (3/21) and 14.6% (7/48) in groups A and B, showing no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of degree Ⅱ ankle supination-external rotation injury in children, internal fixation of the fibular fracture has no significant effect on the imaging angles or the function of the ankle joint. After anatomic reduction of the distal tibia, the fibular fracture can be treated without internal fixation to reduce operational trauma, shorten operation time and reduce operation expenses.

The complex pathological mechanism of dry eye involves multiple pathways, such as immunity and inflammation, and requires an integral research program to control the whole picture. Various histological techniques can elucidate the complex physio-pathological state of organisms from a holistic and global perspective, thus providing more comprehensive biological information. Mass spectrometry can sensitively detect the changes of protein content in tear samples, providing convenience for proteomics research of dry eye. At present, proteomics has demonstrated its application in the identification of dry eye types, severity grading, and therapeutic effect evaluation. In addition, proteomics combined with metabolomics and microbiomics can more comprehensively explain the pathogenesis of dry eye. In the future, proteomics is expected to provide more powerful support for the precise diagnosis and treatment of dry eye, taking an advantage in targeted therapy.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs with covalently closed structures, which have important functions in plants. However, their biogenesis, degradation, and function upon treatment with gibberellins (GAs) and auxins (1-naphthaleneacetic acid, NAA) remain unknown. Here, we systematically identified and characterized the expression patterns, evolutionary conservation, genomic features, and internal structures of circRNAs using RNase R-treated libraries from moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) seedlings. Moreover, we investigated the biogenesis of circRNAs dependent on both cis- and trans-regulation. We explored the function of circRNAs, including their roles in regulating microRNA (miRNA)-related genes and modulating the alternative splicing of their linear counterparts. Importantly, we developed a customized degradome sequencing approach to detect miRNA-mediated cleavage of circRNAs. Finally, we presented a comprehensive view of the participation of circRNAs in the regulation of hormone metabolism upon treatment of bamboo seedlings with GA and NAA. Collectively, our study provides insights into the biogenesis, function, and miRNA-mediated degradation of circRNAs in moso bamboo.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect and appropriate nursing for wound healing after anorectal operation with ultrasonic atomization in traditional Chinese medicine. Methods A clinical research method for random distribution was conducted. Totals of 120 anorectal surgery cases matched with the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the observation group ( TCM group ) of 60 cases, and the control group ( potassium permanganate group ) of 60 cases. The average disappear time of post-operative symptoms were respectively observed and the number of days of wound healing were respectively recorded between the two groups. Results In the observation group, the average disappear time of post-operative symptoms of pain, edema, cataclysm, hematochezia and the healing time were (8. 20 ± 1. 56), (4. 33 ± 0. 46), (7. 56 ± 1. 38), (3.67 ±1.49) and (14.17 ±1.58)days, which were significantly shorter than those of the control group (t=4. 313, 3. 765, 4. 983, 3. 038, 7. 560, respectively;P<0. 05). The post-operative healing rate of the 7th and 14th day were (53. 66 ± 1. 88)% and (89. 46 ± 2. 13)%, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (t=6. 89, 15. 08, respectively;P<0. 01). In the observation group, 38 cases were significantly effective, 20 cases were effective, and 2 cases had no therapeutic effect, which were significantly better than those of the control group (Z =21. 76, P <0. 01). Conclusions Fumigation with ultrasonic atomization of traditional Chinese medicine can improve post-operative symptoms and promote wound healing after anorectal operation.
