Amblyopia is a common visual development disorder and is the main cause of monocular vision impairment in children and adults. Photobiomodulation(PBM), a non-invasive treatment method, has gradually gained attention in the field of ophthalmology. This paper begins with the macroscopic manifestation of light on the animal model of amblyopia. Additionally, it discusses the pathological changes of the amblyopic retina and the human eye's central nervous system, as well as the influence and mechanism of PBM on the visual perception and processing system and its chemical effect on the visual system through dopamine and melatonin. It examines its mechanism of action, current clinical application status, and future development direction in order to provide new ideas and theoretical foundation for amblyopia treatment.

Objective:The clinicalpathological features of TAFRO syndrome were analyzed to clarify the similarities and differences between TAFRO syndrome and autoimmune diseases and to establish differential diagnosis.Methods:Six patients diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2014 to March 2022 were collected. The clinical, examination, pathology and treatment of TAFRO syndrome were analyzed and compared with autoimmune diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus and Sj?gren′s syndrome.Results:Among the 6 patients, 4 were males and 2 were females, with an average age of (57.5 ±9.8) years. All the 6 patients had fever, edema (including chest and abdominal effusion and systemic edema), thrombocytopenia (3 main criteria) and more than 2 secondary criteria.ESR and CRP were significantly elevated in 6 patients. There were 1 case of elevated IgA and IgG (IgA 4.10 g/L, IgG19.05 g/L), 1 case of elevated igg (IgG 19.33 g/L), 3 cases of normal and 1 case of undetected. Serum IgG4 was negative in 4 cases and undetected in 2 cases. Autoantibodies: 4 cases were ANA positive, including 1 case with anti-SSA/Ro52(+), anti-SSA/Ro60(+), anti-SSB (+), 1 case with anti-SSA /Ro60(+), and 2 untested. Bone marrow cytological examination was performed in 6 cases, all of which showed active hyperplasia, 2 cases showed elevated megakaryocytes, and 1 case was accompanied by interstitial fibrosis. Pathological examination of lymph nodes: 5 cases were consistent with Castleman′s disease, and 1 case was suggestive of reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes. Conclusion:Although the diagnostic criteria of TAFRO syndrome should exclude autoimmune diseases, TAFRO syndrome and autoimmune diseases can coexist, and the connective tissue disease complicated with TAFRO syndrome has its specific clinical characteristics and treatment plan, which needs to be identified clinically.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of acute exposure to sodium cyanide(NaCN)on brain nerve damage induced by closed hypoxia in mice.METHODS ① Mice were randomly divided into hypoxia+NaCN 0(hypoxia control group),2.56,3.8,and 5.1 mg·kg-1 groups.After ip adminis-tration of different concentrations of NaCN,the mice were immediately placed into a closed hypoxic tank and the hypoxia survival time was observed.②Mice were divided into normal control,NaCN 3.8 mg·kg-1,hypoxia(30 and 60 min)and NaCN 3.8 mg·kg-1+hypoxia(30 and 60 min)groups.After grouping,the pH,oxygen saturation(sO2),oxygen tension(pO2)and carbon dioxide partial pressure(pCO2)of arterial blood of mice were detected using an arterial blood gas analyzer.The cortical cerebral blood flow of mice was detected using a laser speckle imager.The dry and wet brain tissue were weighed separately,and the brain moisture content was calculated.The kit was used to detect the activity of total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD)and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in the hippocampus.TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis rate of cells in the hippocampus.HE staining was used to detect path-ological changes in the hippocampus.RESULTS ①Compared with the hypoxic control group,the sur-vival time of mice in the hypoxic+NaCN groups was significantly prolonged(P<0.01).②Compared with the normal control group,the hypoxia 30 min group showed upregulation of arterial blood p CO2(P<0.05),downregulation of p O2(P<0.05).The hypoxia 60 min group showed upregulation of arterial blood p CO2(P<0.05)and downregulation of cortical cerebral blood flow(P<0.05).In the NaCN 3.8 mg·kg-1 group,arterial blood p O2 and s O2 were significantly downregulated(P<0.05),so was cortical cerebral blood flow(P<0.01),but MDA content and T-SOD activity were significantly upregulated(P<0.01),and the brain moisture content was increased(P<0.01).Compared with the hypoxia 30 min group,s O2 and p O2 of arterial blood in the NaCN+hypoxia 30 min group were significantly upregulated(P<0.05),while p CO2 was significantly downregulated(P<0.05).Compared with the hypoxia group at corresponding time points,the NaCN+hypoxia 30 or 60 min groups showed significant downregulation of cerebral blood flow(P<0.01),significant upregulation of MDA content and T-SOD activity(P<0.01),and signifi-cant upregulation of brain moisture content(P<0.01).HE staining results showed that the NaCN 3.8 mg·kg-1 group and the NaCN+hypoxia group(30 or 60 min)showed significant cell swelling and vacuolization in cells in the hippocampal tissue,a decrease in the number of neurons,nuclear pyknosis and deep staining.TUNEL fluorescence results showed that the NaCN 3.8 mg·kg-1 group significantly increased the apop-tosis rate of the mouse hippocampus compared with the normal control group(P<0.05).The NaCN+ hypoxia 30 and 60 min groups significantly increased the apoptosis rate of the mouse hippocampus compared with the hypoxia group at corresponding time points(P<0.05).CONCLUSION NaCN can exacerbate hypoxia induced decrease in cerebral blood flow,oxidative stress in brain tissue,and neuro-nal apoptosis in mice,thereby reducing oxygen consumption in closed hypoxic tanks and prolonging their survival time.The mechanism is related to reduced utility of cell oxygen,delaying CO2 accumulation and increasing free oxygen in vivo.

Objective:To compare the correlation and differences between invasive blood pressure(IBP)and noninvasive blood pressure(NBP)monitoring at three different levels of systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)in elderly hypertensive patients with atherosclerosis of the extremities during perioperative anesthesia.Methods:156 elderly patients were prospectively admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, for peripheral vascular stenosis interventions between December 2018 and December 2021.Their IBP and NBP were measured simultaneously during the perioperative anesthesia period.Then the correlation and consistency between IBP and NBP were analyzed via the Pearson correlation coefficient, Bland-Altman plots, and the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve).Results:A total of 156 elderly patients were enrolled, including 108 men(69.2%)and 48 women(30.8%), with a mean age of 72.2±7.6.Pearson correlation analysis revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between IBP and NBP.The correlation coefficient was 0.993 for invasive systolic blood pressure(ISBP)and non-invasive systolic blood pressure(NSBP), 0.808 for invasive diastolic blood pressure(IDBP)and non-invasive diastolic blood pressure(NDBP), and 0.853 for invasive mean arterial pressure(IMAP)and non-invasive mean arterial pressure(NMAP)( P<0.001 for all). Bland-Altman analysis showed that the mean deviation of ISBP and NSBP was(20.3±6.5)mmHg(95% CI: 19.18-21.38)(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), the mean deviation of IDBP and NDBP was(3.8±9.7)mmHg(95% CI: 2.13-5.41), and the mean deviation of IMAP and NMAP was(12.7±11.0)mmHg(95% CI: 10.83-14.55). The correlation coefficient of ISBP-NSBP deviation with ISBP was 0.856, the correlation coefficient of IDBP-NDBP deviation with IDBP was 0.206, and the correlation coefficient of IMAP-NMAP deviation with IMAP was 0.583( P<0.05 for all). When ISBP≥137 mmHg, the sensitivity of an ISBP-NSBP deviation ≥20 mmHg was 96.3%, the specificity was 96.4%, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.970(95% CI: 0.934-1.000). When ISBP≥158 mmHg, the sensitivity and specificity of a predicted ISBP-NSBP deviation≥25 mmHg were 97.4% and 78.8%, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.876(95% CI: 0.820-0.933); When ISBP≥208 mmHg, the sensitivity and specificity of a predicted ISBP-NSBP deviation≥30 mmHg were 100% and 98.5%, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.985(95% CI: 0.964-1.000). Conclusions:There is a good agreement between IBP and NBP in elderly hypertensive patients with peripheral atherosclerosis during perioperative anesthesia.The magnitude of the deviation between the two is significantly and positively correlated with the level of blood pressure, suggesting that we should appropriately choose the method of blood pressure measurement in the perioperative period to correctly evaluate the blood pressure of these elderly patients.
