AIM: To investigate factors associated with anterior chamber exudation following phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.

METHODS: Clinical data from patients with cataract who underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation at the hospital between June 2021 and June 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into an exudation group and a non-exudation group according to the presence or absence of postoperative anterior chamber exudation. Demographic characteristics, underlying diseases, preoperative examination findings, surgery-related factors, intraoperative complications, and postoperative conditions were collected and compared between the two groups. Factors associated with anterior chamber exudation after phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation were analyzed.

RESULTS: A total of 840 cataract patients(840 eyes)who underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation were enrolled. According to the presence or absence of postoperative anterior chamber exudation, 42 patients(42 eyes)were assigned to the exudation group, including 18 men and 24 women, with a mean age of 72.04±7.84 y; the remaining 798 patients(798 eyes)were assigned to the non-exudation group, including 370 men and 428 women, with a mean age of 65.13±9.25 y. Univariate analysis showed significant between-group differences in age, duration of cataract, diabetes mellitus, postoperative elevation of intraocular pressure, duration of corticosteroid eye-drop use, and lens nuclear grade(all P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated significant overall associations of age, duration of cataract, and duration of corticosteroid eye-drop use with the risk of postoperative anterior chamber exudation(all P<0.001). No significant non-linear associations were observed(P_{for non-linearity} >0.05), indicating linear relationships. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.096, 95%CI: 1.053-1.141), duration of cataract(OR=1.074, 95%CI: 1.042-1.107), diabetes mellitus(OR=2.630, 95%CI: 1.269-5.453), postoperative elevation of intraocular pressure(OR=4.311, 95%CI: 1.851-10.041), duration of corticosteroid eye-drop use(OR=2.082, 95%CI: 1.479-2.930), and lens nuclear grade ≥IV(OR=2.635, 95%CI: 1.309-5.304)were risk factors for postoperative anterior chamber exudation(all P<0.05). A nomogram prediction model was developed based on these factors. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the predicted and observed probabilities. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the model for predicting postoperative anterior chamber exudation was 0.858(95%CI: 0.801-0.916), with a sensitivity of 0.810 and a specificity of 0.803.

CONCLUSION: Anterior chamber exudation following phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation is influenced by multiple factors. Age, duration of cataract, diabetes mellitus, postoperative elevation of intraocular pressure, longer duration of corticosteroid eye-drop use, and greater lens nuclear hardness are risk factors. The nomogram developed using these factors demonstrates good predictive performance for postoperative anterior chamber exudation and may facilitate the early identification of high-risk patients and the development of individualized intervention strategies.

Against the backdrop of digital transformation in higher education， the traditional teaching model has become inadequate to meet the demands for cultivating new-quality nursing talents. Nursing ethics teaching confronts several dilemmas， such as unbalanced regional development， disconnection between theory and practice， scattered teaching resources， and fragmented knowledge points. With the iterative update of modern digital technologies， the knowledge graph， due to its structured， semantic， scalable， and multi-source integrative characteristics， offers a technological pathway to address these issues. Based on the construction foundation of the Ministry of Education’s first batch of virtual teaching and research platforms for humanistic nursing courses， the nursing ethics artificial intelligence（Al）course was developed around the“thinking-research-teaching-learning”framework. By strengthening ideological and political guidance， constructing a curriculum knowledge graph， and promoting the deep integration of humanistic care and professional knowledge，the course realized intelligent support for research，learning，and teaching. This innovative education model provides a replicable paradigm for cultivating outstanding nursing talents equipped with humanistic literacy， digital competence， and advanced ethical thinking， while also offering references for the digital transformation of higher nursing education.

Objective:To establish a microfluidic chip-based digital PCR (cdPCR) method for detecting hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA and evaluate its application in patients with chronic HBV infection.Methods:A total of 135 patients with chronic HBV infection were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and stratified into two groups based on HBV DNA levels: HBV DNA>100 IU/ml ( n=85) and HBV DNA≤100 IU/ml ( n=50). Additionally, healthy individuals and subjects infected with other viruses ( n=15) served as controls. Primers and probes targeting the HBV pre-C/C region were designed to optimize the microfluidic cdPCR method, and its linear range, limit of detection (LOD), specificity, and precision were assessed. Serum HBV RNA levels were measured using the self-developed method and two commercial kits. Pearson correlation was applied to evaluate the relationships between HBV RNA and other HBV markers. Results:The optimized microfluidic cdPCR method featured a denaturation time of 10 seconds, an annealing/extension temperature of 62 ℃, and primer and probe concentrations of 0.3 μmol/L and 0.2 μmol/L, respectively. The method demonstrated a linear range of 103-10? copies/ml and an LOD of 102 copies/ml. The intra-assay coefficient of variation ( CV) for plasmid standards at 10? and 10? copies/ml were 1.06% and 0.82%, respectively, while the inter-assay CVs were 0.75% and 0.44%. Specificity analysis confirmed the absence of positive signals in sera from healthy controls and subjects infected with other pathogens. In the HBV DNA>100 IU/ml group, the detection rate of the self-developed cdPCR method was 81.18% (69/85), significantly higher than the 64.71% (55/85) achieved by commercial kit B ( P<0.016 7). However, in the HBV DNA≤100 IU/ml group, no significant differences were observed among the three methods ( P>0.05). HBV RNA levels were positively correlated with HBV DNA ( r=0.67), hepatitis B surface antigen ( r=0.53), and hepatitis B e antigen ( r=0.44) (all P<0.001). Conclusion:A microfluidic cdPCR assay for the quantitative detection of HBV RNA has been successfully developed. This assay demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, and robust detection capability, even for low HBV DNA-concentration samples.

Objective To explore the potential mechanism of Gegen qinlian decoction(GGQLD)containing serum in ameliorating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells based on transcriptomics.Methods An in vitro model of NAFLD was constructed by free fatty acid(FFA)-induced fat accumulation in HepG2 cells,and cells were treated with different proportions of GGQLD and pioglitazone-containing serum.The lipid deposition in each group was detected by oil red O staining,and the lipid content in each group was evaluated by triglyceride level.Transcriptome technology was used to detect the differentially expressed genes between the intervention groups,and GO annotation analysis,KEGG enrichment analysis and protein interaction(PPI)network analysis were performed to verify the differentially expressed genes by RT-PCR.Results Compared with normal control group,the number of red lipid droplets in the model control group increased,and the triglyceride content increased significantly(P＜0.01).Compared with model control group,the content of red lipid droplets in the GGQLD medium dose group showed a decreasing trend,and the intracellular triglyceride content decreased significantly(P＜0.05).A total of 608 differentially expressed genes were identified by transcriptome analysis,of which 163 differentially expressed genes were up-regulated and 445 differentially expressed genes were down-regulated.GO enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in the regulation of MAP kinase phosphatase activity.KEGG analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in MAPK signaling pathway.RT-PCR results showed that GGQLD up-regulated the expression level of MAP2K6 mRNA and down-regulated the expression levels of FOSL1,CTSL,DUSP5,DUSP1,JUN,HSPA6,IL1A,IL11 and RELB mRNA,which may be mainly involved in MAPK signaling pathway.Conclusion GGQLD has the effect of improving NAFLD,which may be related to MAPK signaling pathway.

This study investigates the pharmacokinetics and metabolic characteristics of three marine-derived piericidins as potential drug leads for kidney disease: piericidin A (PA) and its two glycosides (GPAs), glucopiericidin A (GPA) and 13-hydroxyglucopiericidin A (13-OH-GPA). The research aims to facilitate lead selection and optimization for developing a viable preclinical candidate. Rapid absorption of PA and GPAs in mice was observed, characterized by short half-lives and low bioavailability. Glycosides and hydroxyl groups significantly enhanced the absorption rate (13-OH-GPA > GPA > PA). PA and GPAs exhibited metabolic instability in liver microsomes due to Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferases (UGTs). Glucuronidation emerged as the primary metabolic pathway, with UGT1A7, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, and UGT1A10 demonstrating high elimination rates (30%-70%) for PA and GPAs. This rapid glucuronidation may contribute to the low bioavailability of GPAs. Despite its low bioavailability (2.69%), 13-OH-GPA showed higher kidney distribution (19.8%) compared to PA (10.0%) and GPA (7.3%), suggesting enhanced biological efficacy in kidney diseases. Modifying the C-13 hydroxyl group appears to be a promising approach to improve bioavailability. In conclusion, this study provides valuable metabolic insights for the development and optimization of marine-derived piericidins as potential drug leads for kidney disease.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19-associated pulmonary as-pergillosis(CAPA)among those with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and to analyze the risk factors for CAPA.METHODS A total of 117 patients with ARDS admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from Dec.1,2022 to Jan.31,2023 were selected.Based on the diagnostic criteria for CAPA,patients were divided into the CAPA group(n=13)and the non-CAPA group(n=104).Clinical characteristics of CAPA patients were ana-lyzed,and risk factors were summarized by multivariate logistic regression analysis.RESULTS Compared with non-CAPA patients,a high proportion of CAPA paitents had a low oxygenation index at admission(＜200 mmHg:61.54％vs.39.42％),those required more invasive respiratory support(ventilator and EC MO:38.46％vs.5.77％),and had a glucocorticoid treatment duration＞10 days(76.92％vs.16.35％).CAPA pa-tients also received more treatments such as tocilizumab(38.46％vs.11.54％)and antiviral drugs(92.31％vs.50.00％),had longer hospital stays(24.00 vs.16.00 days)and a higher in-hospital mortality rate(69.23％vs.21.15％).The use of invasive mechanical ventilation/ECMO during hospitalization(OR=11.386,P=0.013)and therapeutic doses of glucocorticoids for＞10 days(OR=15.671,P＜0.001)were risk factors for CAPA in patients with ARDS.CONCLUSIONS Among COVID-19 patients with ARDS,CAPA patients receive more thera-peutic drugs and treatments during hospitalization.CAPA is associated with the use of invasive mechanical ventila-tion or ECMO and prolonged use of therapeutic doses of glucocorticoids during hospitalization.

OBJECTIVE To explore the changes of serum mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase(MITOL),β-endorphin(β-EP)and chemokine 10(CXCL10)in the patients with herpes zoster(HZ)virus infection and analyze the predic-tive values.METHODS A total of 137 patients with HZ virus infection who were treated in Jinhua Fifth Hospital from Jan.2022 to Jan.2024 were assigned as the infection group,meanwhile,100 healthy people who received physical examination were chosen as the healthy group.The clinical data were compared between the two groups,the levels of serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 were detected for the two groups of participants.The changes of the above indexes were observed and compared.The values of serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 in prediction of HZ virus infection were analyzed by means of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS There were significant differences in the levels of serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 between the infection group and the healthy group(P＜0.05).As the serum MITOL,β-EP and CXCL10 were used for prediction of HZ virus infec-tion,the area under the curve(AUC)of the CXCL10 was the highest 0.932,with the sensitivity 91.24％,the specificity 81.00％;the AUC of the joint detection of the three indexes was 0.882,with the specificity 99.00％,the sensitivity 77.37％(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS The patients with HZ virus infection show the decline of MI-TOL and β-EP levels and the rise of CXCL10 level.The three indexes have high values in prediction of HZ virus infection,with the CXCL10 showing the best prediction efficiency.The indexes can be used for prediction of illness condition of the patients with HZ virus infection.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),IgG and IgA for the recurrence in patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:A total of 108 MM patients who were initially diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2017 to March 2019,and 72 patients who met the diagnostic criteria and had complete follow-up data were selected as the study subjects.MM recurrence was the endpoint event,and follow-up was conducted until the occurrence of the endpoint event or the deadline of this study.MM patients were divided into recurrent group(RG)and non-recurrent group(NRG)based on whether they have relapsed or not.Venous blood was collected from patients at the first diagnosis and follow-up(at the occurrence of endpoint events or termination of the study),and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect sIL-2R and TNF-α levels in the patient's serum.An automatic immune analyzer was used to detect the levels of IgG and IgA in the patient's serum.The differences in expression levels of the factors between two groups were compared and the correlations between sIL-2R and TNF-α,IgG and IgA at the first diagnosis and follow-up were analyzed.At the same time,venous blood was collected from patients during complete remission,and their serum sIL-2R levels were measured to compare the differences in sIL-2R expression levels at the first diagnosis,complete remission and recurrence.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves was used to determine the optimal cutoff values for serum sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA,and the predictive value of sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA in the recurrence of MM patients were analyzed based on the area under the curve(AUC).Results:The serum sIL-2R levels of MM patients at the first diagnosis and recurrence were significantly higher than at complete remission(P＜0.05).At the first diagnosis,the hemoglobin content of RG was lower than that of NRG,while the β 2-microglobulin content was higher than that of NRG(P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in other clinical parameters between the two groups(P＞0.05).The levels of sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA at the first diagnosis and follow-up of RG were higher than those of NRG(P＜0.05).There was a significant correlation between sIL-2R and TNF-α,IgG and IgA at the first diagnosis and follow-up(P＜0.001).The ROC curve showed that,at the first diagnosis,sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA predicted the AUC of MM patients were 0.919,0.850,0.766 and 0.795,respectively,after follow-up,they predicted AUC of MM were 0.890,0.815,0.760 and 0.794,respectively(P＜0.001).Conclusion:The serum sIL-2R has the highest predictive value for MM patient's recurrence,and it is possible to detect the TNF-α,IgG and IgA levels at specific times to infer changes in sIL-2R levels and evaluate the patient's prognosis.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.
