Pediatric blepharokeratoconjunctivitis(PBKC)is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent ocular sur-face inflammation,primarily involving the eyelid margins,conjunctiva,and cornea,and predominantly affecting children and adolescents.The longstanding lack of a unified nomenclature,diagnostic criteria,and clinical definition has frequently led to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment,which can potentially result in serious complications such as corneal scarring,visual impairment,and even amblyopia.To enhance clinicians' capability for early identification of this disease,an interna-tional expert panel formulated the consensus titled "Pediatric Blepharokeratoconjunctivitis:Definition and Diagnostic Criteria".This consensus establishes a unified nomenclature,definition,and diagnostic criteria for the disease.Based on the latest clinical research findings,this article provides a systematic interpretation of these criteria,analyzes their implica-tions for clinical practice and future research,and offers important references for subsequent studies and clinical applica-tion.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of the maladaptation of H3N2 influenza virus in chicken embryos, provide a theoretical basis for the restoration of H3N2 influenza vaccine production in chicken embryos.Methods:Samples of respiratory secretions from patients with influenza-like symptoms (Influenza-like Illness, ILI) caused by H3N2 influenza virus were inoculated into chicken embryos and Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells (MDCK), respectively. After isolating the virus, hemagglutination experiments were conducted to detect hemagglutination titers and hemagglutination inhibition experiments were used to compare antigenic differences; further, whole-genome sequencing of H3N2 influenza virus was performed using second-generation high-throughput gene sequencing (Next Generation High-Throughput Gene Sequencing, NGS), and key amino acid sites of mutations were identified through sequence alignment; combined with sialic acid receptor binding experiments, the differences in the binding of wild-type and mutant receptor binding sites (RBS) to sialic acid receptors were compared; finally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation method were used to explore the specific molecular mechanisms of how mutation sites affect the differences in the affinity of the RBS pocket for sialic acid receptors.Results:The hemagglutination assay result indicated that both chicken embryos and MDCK cells could isolate the influenza virus, and the hemagglutination inhibition test showed that no antigenic differences were produced in the isolated strains. NGS analysis revealed that the H3N2 virus underwent an F195Y mutation in the (RBS) region of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein after adaptation through chicken embryo passages. Receptor-binding experiments demonstrated that the F195Y mutation enhanced the virus′s binding ability to α2, 3-linked sialic acid glycan (Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ-PAA, 3′SLN), while the mutation did not affect the affinity of the RBS pocket for α2, 6-linked sialic acid glycan (Neu5Acα2-6Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ-PAA, 6′SLN). Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation result indicate that the F195Y mutation, by replacing a hydrophobic amino acid with a hydrophilic one, leads to a significant decrease in the structure of the RBS pocket, enhancing the binding stability of the H3N2 influenza virus with α2, 3-sln. This is specifically manifested by an increase in binding time and an increase in the number of hydrogen bonds at the RBS site with the receptor. Furthermore, the F195Y mutation does not alter the binding of the virus to other receptors.Conclusions:The F195Y mutation in the RBS pocket of H3N2 influenza virus is a key site affecting the viral chicken embryo inadaptability.

Objective To explore the correlation between neuron specific enolase(NSE)levels and recurrence after percutaneous balloon compression(PBC)in patients with trigeminal neuralgia(TN).Methods 166 TN patients who underwent PBC at the Second People's Hospital of Huai'an City,Jiangsu Province from July 2018 to April 2021 were selected as the study subjects.According to the recurrence rate after 2 years of surgery,patients were divided into a recurrence group(n=22)and a non-recurrence group(n=144).The general information of the two groups of patients was compared,and the serum biomarker levels before and after PBC in TN patients were analyzed,as well as the postoperative efficacy of TN patients with PBC.Compared the difference changes(T2-T1)between various inflammatory markers and nerve injury markers before surgery(T1)and 2 days after surgery(T2),and perform correlation analysis(Spearman correlation and Logistic regression)between the significantly changed difference indicators and prognosis recurrence to explor the predictive value of serum NSE for recurrence after PBC in TN patients.Results The serum NSE level of TN patients on the first day of PBC was 12.39±3.15 ng/ml,were compored with those on the second day after PBC was 16.27±4.03ng/ml,and the difference was statisically significant(t=14.922,P<0.01).The difference in serum NEC levels before and after PBC in the recurrent group was 5.72(5.25,7.58)ng/ml,while the difference in serum NSE levels before and after PBC in the non-recurrent group was 3.01(2.63,3.37)ng/ml,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(Z=3.925,P<0.001).Logistic regression results showed that the difference in serum NSE levels(T2-T1)before and after PBC was a rish factor for postoperative recurrence in TN patients at two-years(OR=1.602,Wald χ2=12.252,P<0.05).ROC analysis tesults:the predictive power of serum NSE difference(T2-T1)before and after PBC for two-year recurrence in TN patients AUC(95%CI)was 0.777(0.587～0.954),and the prediction threshold was 4ng/ml.The corresponding sensitivity and specificity was 0.727 and 0.806,respectively.Conclusion Serum NSE may become a biomarker for predicting the recurrence of TN patients after PBC treatment.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of preoperative D-dimer level for futile recanalization (FR) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:It was a nested case-control study. A total of 116 patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, who underwent successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction, mTICI≥2b) after MT at the Stroke Unit of Beijing Hospital from August 2018 to January 2022,were consecutively enrolled, including 72 males (62.1%) with the age of (72.8±13.1) years. According to the 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score after MT, patients were divided into the meaningful recanalization group (mRS 0-2, n=41) and the futile recanalization group (mRS 3-6, n=75). The baseline clinical data of enrolled patients was collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for FR after MT in patients with AIS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of D-dimer for FR. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) ( OR=1.038, 95% CI: 1.012-1.065, P=0.004), baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score≥12 ( OR=10.157, 95% CI: 3.624-28.470, P<0.001) and high preoperative D-dimer level ( OR=4.536, 95% CI: 1.379-14.922, P=0.013) were independent predictors of FR after MT in AIS patients with LVO. ROC curve analysis indicated a good predictive value of preoperative D-dimer for the occurrence of FR ( AUC=0.733, 95% CI: 0.638-0.829, P<0.05), the optimal cut-off value of D-dimer was 2.65 μg/L(Lg), with the Youden index, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 0.435, 53.3%, 90.2% and 66.4%, respectively. Conclusion:High preoperative D-dimer level is an independent predictor of futile recanalization after MT in AIS patients with LVO, which shows good predictive ability for futile recanalization.

Objective:To study the current status of longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) and to develop a prediction model based on clinical data from multiple NICUs.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, EPIs admitted to 32 NICUs in North China were retrospectively studied. Their general conditions, nutritional support, complications during hospitalization and weight changes were reviewed. Weight loss between birth and discharge > 1SD was defined as longitudinal EUGR. The EPIs were assigned into longitudinal EUGR group and non-EUGR group and their nutritional support and weight changes were compared. The EPIs were randomly assigned into the training dataset and the validation dataset with a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the training dataset to select the independent predictive factors. The best-fitting Nomogram model predicting longitudinal EUGR was established based on Akaike Information Criterion. The model was evaluated for discrimination efficacy, calibration and clinical decision curve analysis.Results:A total of 436 EPIs were included in this study, with a mean gestational age of (26.9±0.9) weeks and a birth weight of (989±171) g. The incidence of longitudinal EUGR was 82.3%(359/436). Seven variables (birth weight Z-score, weight loss, weight growth velocity, the proportion of breast milk ≥75% within 3 d before discharge, invasive mechanical ventilation ≥7 d, maternal antenatal corticosteroids use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia) were selected to establish the prediction model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the training dataset and the validation dataset were 0.870 (95% CI 0.820-0.920) and 0.879 (95% CI 0.815-0.942), suggesting good discrimination efficacy. The calibration curve indicated a good fit of the model ( P>0.05). The decision curve analysis showed positive net benefits at all thresholds. Conclusions:Currently, EPIs have a high incidence of longitudinal EUGR. The prediction model is helpful for early identification and intervention for EPIs with higher risks of longitudinal EUGR. It is necessary to expand the sample size and conduct prospective studies to optimize and validate the prediction model in the future.

Objective To compare the difference in binocular visual function after implantation of different types of intraocular lenses(IOL).Methods A total of 63 patients(126 eyes)with age-related cataract who underwent phacoe-mulsification combined with IOL implantation in Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University from October 2021 to June 2023 were collected.Among them,22 patients(44 eyes)were implanted with monofocal IOL in both eyes(mono-focal group),21 patients(42 eyes)were implanted with monofocal and multifocal IOL in both eyes,respectively(mixed group),and 20 patients(40 eyes)were implanted with multifocal IOL in both eyes(multifocal group).Another 22 patients(44 eyes)with physiological presbyopia were selected from the medical examination center of the same hospital during the same period as the control group.Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA),uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA),defocus curve,amplitude of accommodation(AMP),positive relative accommodation(PRA),negative relative accommo-dation(NRA),binocular cross-cylinder(BCC),accommodative convergence/accommodation ratio(AC/A),rupture point at the near point of convergence(NPC),near-far distance positive fusional vergence(PFV)and negative fusional vergence(NFV)rupture points,and near-far distance stereopsis of patients in the four groups were recorded and compared during the 3-month follow-up.Results After three months of follow-up,there was no significant difference in UDVA among the four groups(P＞0.05),while the UNVA of patients in the multifocal group and the mixed group was better than that in the control group and the monofocal group(all P＜0.05).The defocus curves of patients in the mixed group and the multifocal group were bimodal.There were statistically significant differences in AMP,NRA,PRA,and BCC among the four groups(all P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the AC/A ratio and far-distance NFV and PFV rupture points among the four groups(all P＞0.05).There were statistically significant differences in NPC rupture point and near-distance NFV and PFV rupture points among the four groups(all P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients with normal far-distance stereopsis among the four groups(P＞0.05).The proportion of pa-tients with normal near-distance stereopsis in the mixed group was significantly lower than that in the other three groups(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Multifocal IOL can effectively improve postoperative UDVA and UNVA in cataract patients.Binocular implantation of multifocal IOL is beneficial to the reconstruction of binocular visual function in far-and near-dis-tance conditions after cataract surgery.The mixed implantation of monofocal and multifocal IOL affects the recovery of near-distance binocular stereopsis in the short term.

Objective:To explore the impact of different preoperative fluid supplementation methods (oral multidimensional carbohydrates and conventional fluid supplementation) on early postoperative recovery and pain management in patients undergoing unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) spine surgery.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the data of 386 patients who underwent UBE lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia in the two courtyards of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2023 to April 2024. All patients were divided into oral multidimensional carbohydrates ( "Outfast" supplementation, composed mainly of water, sugars, salts, and vitamins) group (referred to as oral "Outfast" group, 189 patients) and conventional fluid supplementation group (197 patients) according to the type of fluid replenishment. Patients in the oral "Outfast" group were given one oral dose in the morning of the first surgery, and another oral infusion before 10∶00 in the morning of the next surgery or afternoon surgery. Patients in the conventional fluid supplementation group received intravenous infusion in the morning of the first surgery, and were given intravenous infusion of glucose and sodium chloride injection in the morning of the next surgery or afternoon surgery. The two groups were compared for the proportion of patients receiving preoperative intravenous fluids on the day of surgery, intraoperative and postoperative fluid volumes, average daily fluid volumes over the first three postoperative days, time to first postoperative ambulation, time to first bowel movement, post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay duration, 4-hour and 24-hour postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, incidence of anesthesia-related adverse reactions, and incidence of severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for inter-group comparison. The measurement data of skewed distribution were expressed as M ( Q1, Q3) and rank sum test was used for inter-group comparison. Count data was presented in terms of examples and percentages, and a chi-square test was used for comparison between two groups. Results:In the oral "Outfast" group, 8 patients (4.2%) received preoperative intravenous fluids on the day of surgery, compared to 136 patients (69.0%) in the conventional fluid supplementation group, showing a significant difference ( P<0.001). The postoperative fluid volumes, average daily fluid volumes over the first three postoperative days, and shorter time to first ambulation in the oral multidimensional carbohydrates group were 700.0(600.0, 1 100.0) mL, 200.0(200.0, 300.0) mL, and 6.0(6.0, 11.0) h, respectively. The conventional fluid supplementation group was 1 100.0(700.0, 1 200.0) mL, 600.0(500.0, 700.0) mL, and 12.0(6.0, 19.0) h, respectively. The oral "Outfast" group was lower than the conventional fluid supplementation group ( P<0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups in intraoperative fluid volumes, time to first bowel movement, PACU stay duration, 4-hour and 24-hour VAS pain scores, incidence of anesthesia-related adverse reactions, or incidence of severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative oral multidimensional carbohydrates supplementation effectively reduces the amount of preoperative and postoperative intravenous fluid required, shortens the time to first ambulation. Preoperative oral multidimensional carbohydrates is safe and does not adversely impact gastrointestinal reactions or pain management in the postoperative period.
