Sutureless scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens(SSF-PCIOL)is a technique mainly employed for the implantation and fixation of intraocular lens(IOL)when there is insufficient support from the crystalline lens capsule.In terms of clinical effects,SSF-PCIOL offers the advantages of improved visual quality and enhanced IOL stability in the patients.The surgical technique for SSF-PCIOL has evolved from the transvitreal scleral fixation approach,to the fibrin glue assisted approach,and then to the transconjunctival approach.The types of IOL available for clinical use have also shifted from traditional three-piece designs to specialized IOL designed for scleral fixation.SSF-PCIOL can be carried out in combination with other ophthalmic procedures and advanced auxiliary equipment to increase the precision of surgical procedures and the objectivity of outcome assessments while minimizing surgical trauma in the patients and ensuring surgical outcomes.This review discusses the evolution of SSF-PCIOL techniques,the characteristics of available IOL types,the synergistic application of combined procedures and auxiliary equipment,and the comprehensive evaluation of clinical outcomes,with the aim of providing clinical evidence for further refinement of the technique and offering references for surgical options for the patients with insufficient crystalline lens capsule support.

Objective To explore the differences in the radiological features,clinical,and laboratory indicators of frequent versus infrequent gout flares in the feet and ankles using dual-energy computed tomography(DECT).Methods A retrospective selection was made on 385 gout patients,who were divided into the frequent flare group(≥2 gout attacks per year,219 cases)and the infre-quent flare group(<2 gout attacks per year,166 cases).Clinical data,laboratory indicators,and DECT imaging findings were col-lected for statistical analysis.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for frequent gout flares and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted.Results Statistically significant differences were found between the fre-quent flare group and the infrequent flare group in terms of disease duration,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure,triglyceride(TG),serum uric acid(SUA),monosodium urate(MSU)crystal deposition,total volume of MSU crystals,maximum diameter of individ-ual tophi,number of affected joints,bone erosion,maximum depth of bone erosion,soft tissue swelling,bone proliferation and sclero-sis,and joint space narrowing(P<0.05).SUA levels,MSU crystal deposition,total volume of MSU crystals,and maximum depth of bone erosion were identified as independent risk factors for frequent gout(P<0.05).Both the combination of four factors model and the maximum depth of bone erosion model had better diagnostic efficacy.Conclusion Gout patients with high SUA levels,MSU crystal deposition,larger total volume of MSU crystals,and greater maximum depth of bone erosion are more likely to experience frequent gout attacks.Patients with bone erosion depth>3.200 mm are more likely identified early as having frequent gout.

Objective To compare the value of ultrashort echo time(UTE)and T1W sequences for detecting bone erosions of gouty arthritis.Methods Forty-four gouty patients were prospectively enrolled,including 32 cases with affected feet and 12 cases with affected knee.MR UTE and T1W sequence scanning of the affected area were performed,and subjectively scoring of imaging quality of 2 kinds of MRI were evaluated,respectively.Then total number and total score of bone erosions of each case were calculated according to all affected bones.Taken DECT as reference standard,the efficacy of UTE and T1WI for detecting bone erosions was assessed through comparing with DECT using Kappa coefficient.Results The imaging quality score of T1WI was lower than that of DECT(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between UTE and DECT(all P＞0.05).There was high agreement between UTE and DECT for detecting bone erosions(κ=0.949),while the agreement between T1WI and DECT ranged from good to high(κ=0.718 to 0.805).The total number and total score of bone erosions based on T1WI were significantly lower than those based on DECT(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between UTE and DECT(all P＞0.05).Conclusion UTE was better than T1WI for detecting bone erosions of gouty arthritis.

Objective:To investigate the value of coronary CTA (CCTA)-based traditional features and radiomics of plaque in the identification of culprit lesions that caused acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:This was a retrospective multicenter study. From July 2016 to November 2023, a total of 344 patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (training cohort, n=184), Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University (validation cohort, n=88) and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (test cohort, n=72) who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to AMI and underwent CCTA within 48 hours of AMI were enrolled. The culprit plaques and non-culprit plaques were identified using a combination of electrocardiogram, CCTA, and angiographic findings. The vessel, plaque location, plaque type, Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) score, high-risk plaque characteristics, plaque length, plaque volume, and burden were analyzed, and 1 904 radiomics features were extracted for each plaque. The traditional imaging model, the radiomics model, and the combined model were established by using multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the performance of each model in identifying culprit lesions. The DeLong test was used for the comparison of AUC between every two models. The net reclassification index (NRI) was used to evaluate the incremental value of the combined model to the traditional imaging model and the radiomics model. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to assess the clinical net benefit of these models. A correlation heatmap was used to evaluate the correlation between the radiomics score and traditional CCTA factors. The interpretable analysis of the decision process of the combined model was performed by the Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Results:In the validation cohort and the test cohort, the AUC of the traditional imaging model developed by the vessel, plaque type, positive remodeling and CAD-RADS score was 0.898 (95% CI 0.869-0.922) and 0.881 (95% CI 0.848-0.910), respectively. The radiomics model developed by six radiomics features was 0.863 (95% CI 0.831-0.891) and 0.863 (95% CI 0.827-0.864), respectively. The AUC of the combined model was 0.930 (95% CI 0.905-0.950)and 0.919 (95% CI 0.889-0.942), respectively. In the validation cohort and the test cohort, the AUC of the combined model was higher than that of the traditional imaging model ( Z=4.013, 4.272, P<0.001) and that of the radiomics model ( Z=4.819, 3.784, P<0.001), respectively. In the validation cohort, the combined model yielded an NRI of 20.43% (95% CI 10.43%-30.44%, P<0.001) and 20.21% (95% CI 9.62%-30.80%, P<0.001) for identifying culprit lesions compared with the traditional imaging model and the radiomics model, respectively. In the test cohort, the combined model yielded an NRI of 28.05% (95% CI 16.72%-39.38%, P<0.001) and 23.57% (95% CI 13.58%-33.56%, P<0.001) for identifying culprit lesions compared with the traditional imaging model and the radiomics model, respectively. DCA showed the combined model had the highest clinical net benefit. The correlation heatmap showed the radiomics score was not correlated or only weakly correlated with traditional CCTA factors. SHAP indicated the radiomics and CAD-RADS score contributed significantly to the model. Conclusion:The CCTA-based traditional features and radiomics of plaque have favorable performance for the identification of culprit plaques in patients with AMI.

Objective To investigate effects of calycosin(CA)on cigarette smoke(CS)induced airway epithelial cell damage in mice and the sirtuin 3/superoxide dismutase 2(SIRT3/SOD2)signaling pathway in mice.Methods A total of 90 mice were randomly separated into the control group,the cigarette smoke(CS)group,the CA low-dose treatment group(CA-L group),the CA high-dose treatment group(CA-H group)and the CA high-dose treatment plus SIRT3 inhibitor 3-TYP group(CA-H+3-TYP group),with 18 mice in each group.Tidal volume(TV)and peak expiratory flow rate(PEF)of lung function were detected by whole body plethysmography system.Serum levels of inflammatory factors[interleukin(IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α]and oxidative stress indicators[reactive oxygen species(ROS),SOD]were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The injury of airway epithelial cells in lung tissue was observed by HE staining.The expression levels of barrier related proteins(OCLN and ZO-1)in airway epithelial cells were detected by immunohistochemistry.Immunoblotting was applied to detect the expression of SIRT3/SOD2 signaling pathway related proteins.Results Compared with the control group,levels of TV,PEF,MAN and SOD and the expression levels of OCLN,ZO-1,SIRT3 and SOD2 were decreased in the CS group,while the levels of MLI,IL-6,TNF-α and ROS were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the lung tissue structure was significantly damaged,the alveolar enlargement was obvious,the surrounding alveolar was accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration,and the airway epithelial cells were obviously shed in the CS group.Different doses of CA alleviated lung tissue destruction,improved alveolar structure,reduced inflammatory cell infiltration,reduced airway epithelial cell shedding,increased levels of TV,PEF,MAN,SOD and OCLN,ZO-1,SIRT3 and SOD2,and decreased levels of MLI,IL-6,TNF-α and ROS.The effect of high dose CA was more significant than that of low dose CA(P＜0.05).SIRT3/SOD2 signaling pathway inhibitor 3-TYP partially reversed the ameliorative effect of CA on CS induced airway epithelial cell injury in mice.Conclusion CA can ameliorate CS induced airway epithelial cell damage in mice,and its mechanism is related to the activation of the SIRT3/SOD2 signaling pathway.
