AIM: To evaluate the binocular visual function in high myopia patients after the implantation of implantable collamer lens(ICL)V4c.METHODS: A total of 35 cases(70 eyes)that received binocular ICL implantation at our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were enrolled in this prospective study. Binocular full-range visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis, mesopic vision and glare sensitivity, and monocular wavefront and the quality of vision questionnaire were assessed before the surgery and at 1 mo postoperatively.RESULTS: At 1 mo postoperatively, 35 cases(100%)had binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA)≤0.00(LogMAR), 16 cases(46%)had binocular UDVA≥preoperative corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA). Binocular UDVA and uncorrected intermediate visual acuity(UIVA,80 cm)were improved compared to preoperative CDVA and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity(DCIVA,80 cm)(all P<0.05).While there were no differences in the binocular postoperative UIVA(60 cm)and preoperative DCIVA(60 cm),and uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA,40 cm)and preoperative distance-corrected near visual acuity(DCNVA,40 cm)(all P>0.05). The binocular contrast sensitivity was significantly improved postoperatively(P=0.001), and the postoperative binocular mesopic vision, glare sensitivity(no glare/glare)and binocular stereopsis(5 m/40 cm)had no differences(all P>0.05). The postoperative total higher-order aberration, trefoil aberration, coma and spherical aberration were increased, besides the median of total coma in the right eye with a pupil diameter of 3.0 mm was decreased after surgery. The mean total score of quality of vision questionnaire was significantly increased from 54.87 preoperatively to 80.92 after implantation(P<0.05), with high satisfaction and no obvious visual disturbance in patients.CONCLUSION: Although the monocular high-order aberrations increased in the early stage after ICL V4c binocular implantation in patients with high myopia, the binocular visual function was improved.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has developed into the most common chronic liver disease and can lead to liver cancer.Our laboratory previously developed a novel prescription for NAFLD,"Eight Zhes Decoction"(EZD),which has shown good curative effects in clinical practice.However,the pharmaco-dynamic material basis and mechanism have not yet been revealed.A strategy integrating lipidomics,network pharmacology and pharmacokinetics was used to reveal the active components and mecha-nisms of EZD against NAFLD.The histopathological results showed that EZD attenuated the degrees of collagen deposition and steatosis in the livers of nonalcoholic steatofibrosis model mice.Furthermore,glycerophospholipid metabolism,arachidonic acid metabolism,glycerolipid metabolism and linoleic acid metabolism with phospholipase A2 group IVA(PLA2G4A)and cytochrome P450 as the core targets and 12,13-cis-epoxyoctadecenoic acid,12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid,leukotriene B4,prostaglandin E2,phosphatidylcholines(PCs)and triacylglycerols(TGs)as the main lipids were found to be involved in the treatment of NAFLD by EZD.Importantly,naringenin,artemetin,canadine,and bicuculline were iden-tified as the active ingredients of EZD against NAFLD;in particular,naringenin reduces PC consumption by inhibiting the expression of PLA2G4A and thus promotes sufficient synthesis of very-low-density lipoprotein to transport excess TGs in the liver.This research provides valuable data and theoretical support for the application of EZD against NAFLD.

In order to cultivate qualified oral clinicians, strengthen examination management, and strictly implement process assessment, Special Training Base of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, has implemented a whole-process and diversified assessment reform. In the part of process assessment, firstly the students were asked to fill in the workload form to give timely feedback on training and truly reflect attendance records; secondly, the performance of trainees in class was comprehensively evaluated in clinical training and theoretical teaching to improve their ability of comprehensive thinking of clinical problems. In the part of result assessment, the traditional theoretical assessment method was weakened, and the ability of comprehensive clinical research was strengthened. Trainees were guided to choose the topic flexibly and use standardized PPT format, and a comprehensive score was determined after assessment. Experts were invited to give their advice, so as to enhance the clinical confidence and scientific research confidence of trainees and help them expand their learning depth and breadth within the limited training time. The analysis of examination methods and assessment results shows that the "whole-process and diversified" assessment mode can truly reflect the training results of trainees and lay a solid foundation for further improvement and implementation of standardized training.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of BCR-ABL1 kinase domain mutations in imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) patients from Northeast China and their impact on prognosis. Methods:The clinical data of 252 CML patients and 49 Ph + ALL patients who were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2013 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The samples of bone marrow or peripheral blood were collected from patients when imatinib treatment was not effective. Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the BCR-ABL1 kinase domain, and Sequencing Analysis v5.4 software was used to analyze the mutation of BCR-ABL1 kinase domain. Patients were followed up for 6-48 months, and the survival analysis was performed. Results:Among 252 CML patients, the mutations in ABL1 kinase domain were found in 57 patients (22.6%), including 25 patients in the chronic phase, 21 patients in the accelerated phase and 11 patients in the blast crisis; 50 patients had 20 types of single point mutation, and the most common mutation types were E255K (16.0%, 8/50), T315I (14.0%, 7/50), M244V (8.0%, 4/50) and G250E (8.0%, 4/50), which were all concentrated in the P-loop and C-helix domains; 7 patients had double mutations; patients with multiple mutations had the worst prognosis, with a median overall survival (OS) time of 3.2 months. Among 49 Ph + ALL patients, 17 cases (34.7%) were positive for mutations in the BCR-ABL1 kinase domain, 14 patients had 12 types of single point mutation, and 3 patients had multiple mutations; the median OS time of patients with multiple mutations, mutations located in the P-loop and C-helix domains and mutations located in the other domains was 2.0, 8.0 and 18.0 months, and the difference in OS among the three groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). Conclusions:Among the imatinib-resistant CML and Ph + ALL patients from Northeast China, point mutations in the P-loop and C-helix domains are most commonly found. Multiple mutations, mutations in the P-loop and C-helix domains are related to the poor prognosis of the patients.

The number of H7N9 bird flu cases was high and the situation was grim in guizhou province in 2017. To understand the molecular characteristics of the hemagglutinin gene (HA) and the risk of human infection with avian influenza virus A(H7N9) in Guizhou Province, 2017. Homology, genetic evolution and pivotal sites related to receptor binding regions, pathogenicity and potential glycosylation of 14 avian influenza viruses A(H7N9) were analyzed by a series of bioinformation softwares. It was cleared that there was 95.9%-100% similarity among 14 strains in nucleotide of the HA gene, and there were 96.8%-97.8% and 96.8%-97.9% similarities with vaccine strains A/Shanghai/2/2013 and A/Anhui/1/2013 recommended by WHO, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 14 HA genes were directly evolved in the Yangtze River Delta evolution branch, but they could be derived from five diffenrent strains. Then 13 of 14 strains cleavage site sequences of HA protein revealed they were low pathogenic avian influenza viruses, while A/Guizhou-Weining/CSY01/2017 was high pathogenic avian influenza virus. Mutation G186V at the receptor binding sites in the HA was found in all 14 strains, and mutation Q226L in 13 strains besides A/Guizhou-Weining/CSY01/2017. All five potential glycosylation motifs in the HA were conservative.

Objective To explore the feasibility of establishing a tree shrew model of chronic gastrointestinal mucosal injury. Methods A total of 12 adult male tree shrews were randomly divided into 3 groups. The experimental groups 1 and 2 were administered with intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/(kg·d)and 1 mg/(kg·d)of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2, 3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)once every day for 56 days, respectively. The control group was given the same volume of sterile saline at the corresponding time points. Changes in the body weight of the tree shrews were observed. The contents of dopamine in the cerebrospinal fluid were detected. Gastrointestinal morphology was observed by stereoscope and histopathological changes of the gastrointestinal mucosa were examined by HE staining. Results The body weight and the contents of dopamine in the cerebrospinal fluid of the tree shrews in the model group were significantly decreased(P< 0.05 for both). Pathological changes to some extent of the gastric antrum, the gastric body and the duodenum were observed, without obvious differences between the 2 mg/kg group and the 1 mg/kg group. No obvious changes were found in the control group. Conclusions Long-term intraperitoneal injection with a low dose of MPTP is a feasible method for the establishment of a tree shrew model of chronic gastrointestinal mucosal injury. The optimal dose is 2 mg/(kg·d)every day for 56 days.

Objective To provide reference values for bone mineral density(BMD)in different skeletal regions of female Wistar rats at different ages. Methods Thirty SPF female Wistar rats were selected. The BMD of different skeletal regions(skull,upper limbs,thighs,trunk,ribs,pelvis,spine and the whole body)was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA)at 6,10,12,24 and 30 months of age. The bone mineral densities between different age groups and that of different skeletal regions in the same age groups were compared. Results The BMD of the skull,upper limbs,thighs,trunk,ribs,pelvis, spine and the whole body was increased rapidly with age, and reached a peak at 10 months of age. The BMD of the skull,upper limbs,thighs,trunk,ribs were significantly higher than the whole body BMD in the same month-age group(P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). However,there was no significant difference between the pelvic, spine and the whole body BMD(P> 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation among the three correlations(P<0.01). Conclusions Some background data are provided for the bone biology studies of female Wistar rats, and provide useful supplementary reference for the studies of bone metabolism in rats and their application in biomedicine.
