Objective:To observe and preliminarily analyze the risk factors related to silicone oil dependence after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in open globe injuries (OGI) .Methods:A retrospective clinical study. This study included 211 patients with OGI who received PPV treatment from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2016 in Eye Injury Vitrectomy Study database. Silicone oil dependence was defined as the intraocular pressure <10 mm Hg (1 mm Hg= 0.133 kPa) in silicone oil tamponade eye 6 months after PPV. The patient's age, intraocular pressure, type of injury, length of eyeball wound, as well as the presence of ciliary body injury, choroidal injury, and retinal resection and/or defect area were recorded in detail. Logistic multifactorial regression analyzed the correlation between age, eye wound length and ciliary body iinjury, choroidal injury and retinal resection and/or defect severity and silicone oil dependence.Results:211 OGI eyes underwent vitrectomy were included, the mean age of the study population was 32.93 years (range 1-73 years), and the median follow-up period was 20.06 months (range 5.85-90.58 months). Among the 211 eyes, 121 (57.3%, 121/211), 52 (24.6%, 52/211), 23 (10.9%, 23/211) and 15 (7.1%, 15/211) were rupture, perforation, intraocular foreign bodies and penetrating injury, respectively. 98 eyes (46.4%, 98/211) of silicone oil dependence in total, among them, 64 (65.3%, 64/98), 19 (19.4%, 19/98), 9 (9.2%, 9/98) and 6 (6.1%, 6/98) eyes were rupture, perforation, intraocular foreign body and penetrating injury, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that silicone oil dependence was significantly associated with ciliary body injury [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.150, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.052-4.393], choroidal injury ( OR=3.233, 95% CI 1.454-7.191), and retinal injury ( OR=2.731, 95% CI 1.393-5.353). No correlation was found with age ( OR= 0.981, 95% CI 0.960-1.002) or ocular wound length ( OR=1.716, 95% CI 0.987-2.984) ( P> 0.05). Conclusion:Silicone oil dependency following PPV in OGIs are associated with ciliary body, choroidal, and retinal injuries, but no association with age or length of the ocular wound.

Alzheimer's disease(AD), a neurodegenerative disorder associated with aging, is the most prevalent form of dementia.As the aging population continues to expand, AD presents significant health and caregiving challenges for families and society, making it a pressing international public health concern.In recent years, numerous countries have implemented dementia prevention and treatment strategies that emphasize community-based comprehensive approaches.Currently, the community-based AD prevention and treatment model in China is still in the exploratory phase, with community efforts lacking organization.In alignment with China's action plan for advancing dementia prevention and treatment, and to achieve the strategic objective of "healthy aging, " this consensus is based on the principle of three-level prevention and is tailored to the characteristics of AD disease progression.It aims to develop a comprehensive prevention and treatment strategy for AD that is suitable for communities in China, providing technical guidance and support to establish a scientific basis for formulating community AD prevention and treatment models.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) exhibits elevated expression levels in a variety of cancers and has emerged as a critical target for cancer therapy in recent years. However, first-generation PRMT5 inhibitors have exhibited inadequate selectivity, leading to significant hematological toxicity, thus limiting their clinical utility. The second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors have shown marked improvement in safety and efficacy by selectively targeting MTAP-null tumor cells without impacting normal cells. This review systematically summarizes the biological and functional roles of PRMT5 in MTAP-deficient tumor cells, and comprehensively analyzes the research and development process, molecular binding mechanisms, and the latest advancements in clinical trials of the five second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors currently under investigation, aiming to provide valuable insights for further in-depth studies in this field.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of interleukin-6 （IL-6）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） pathway in the balance of T helper 17 （Th17）/regulatory T （Treg） cells in ulcerative colitis （UC） with internal dampness-heat accumulation syndrome and the intervention mechanism of Shaoyaotang. MethodA total of 60 SD rats were randomized into blank group （equivalent volume of normal saline）， model group （equivalent volume of normal saline）， western medicine control group （0.42 g·kg^-1 mesalazine）， and low-dose （11.1 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose （22.2 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose （44.4 g·kg^-1） Shaoyaotang groups. UC with internal dampness-heat accumulation syndrome was induced in rats with the compound method except for the blank group. The administration lasted 14 days for each group. At 24 h after the last administration， rats were killed and the spleen and colon tissues were separated. The histopathological changes of colon were observed based on hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining and the levels of interleukin-17 （IL-17） and transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁） in colon tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the levels of Th17/Treg cells in the spleen， and Western blot to measure the levels of IL-6 and STAT3 proteins in colon tissue. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group had lesions such as congestion and erosion， low percentage of spleen Treg cells （P<0.01）， high percentage of Th17 cells （P<0.01）， and high levels of IL-6 and STAT3 proteins in colon tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the administration groups showed alleviation of colon injury， high percentage of spleen Treg cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）， low percentage of Th17 cells （P<0.01）， and low levels of IL-6 and STAT3 proteins in colon tissue （P<0.01）. ConclusionShaoyaotang regulates the balance of Th17/Treg by inhibiting the IL-6/STAT3 pathway， thereby relieving the pathological damage of UC rats with internal dampness-heat accumulation syndrome and affecting their immune function.

BACKGROUND: Anlotinib is a newly developed small molecule multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of patients with lung cancer in China. We aim to report 3 cases of rare complication of anlotinib-bronchial fistula (BF) during the treatment of lung cancer patients and summarize the possible causes. METHODS: We collected three patients who developed BF due to anlotinib treatment, and conducted a search of Medline and PubMed for medical literature published between 2018 and 2020 using the following search terms: "anlotinib," "lung cancer," and "fistula." RESULTS: Our literature search produced two case reports (three patients) which, in addition to our three patients. We collated the patients' clinical characteristics including demographic information, cancer type, imaging features, treatment received, risk factors for anlotinib related BF, and treatment-related outcomes. The six patients shared some common characteristics: advanced age, male, concurrent infection symptoms, diabetes mellitus (DM), advanced squamous cell and small cell lung cancers, centrally located tumors, tumor measuring ≥5 cm in longest diameter, and newly formed tumor cavitation after multi-line treatment especially after receiving radiotherapy. Fistula types included broncho-pericardial fistula, broncho-pleural fistula, and esophago-tracheobronchial fistula. Six patients all died within 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Although anlotinib is relatively safe, it is still necessary to pay attention to the occurrence of BF, a rare treatment side effect that threatens the quality of life and overall survival of patients. Anlotinib, therefore, requires selective use and close observation of high-risk patients.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia and its correlation among adolescents aged 13-16 in Hanjiang district of Yangzhou city. Methods: Five hundred and nine adolescents aged 13-16 years in Hangjiang district of Yangzhou city were recruited. Their fasting serum uric acid level were measured by Benecheck premium UA monitoring system. The demographic imformation, family history, eating and living habits of the respondents were collected by questionnaires. Results: The average serum uric acid level of 509 adolescents in Hangjiang district of Yangzhou city was (374±98) μmol/L, and (420±103) μmol/L in males, higher than that of females [(329±70) μmol/L](t=11.69, P<0.05). The overall prevalence of HUA was 36.9%(188/509), and 43.2%(108/250) in males, higher than in females 30.8%(80/259)(χ²=4.16, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male [OR=1.70, 95%CI(1.18, 2.45)], obese [OR=8.99, 95%CI(4.58, 17.63)], high-salt oily diet [OR=1.67, 95%CI(1.05, 2.61)], soy products [OR=2.66, 95%CI(1.45, 4.88)], animal offal [OR=7.81, 95%CI(3.42, 17.83)], seafood [OR=4.80, 95%CI(2.83, 8.12)], sugary drinks [OR=6.49, 95%CI(3.08, 13.64)] and time spent on electronic products [OR=1.98, 95%CI(1.07, 3.65)] might be risk factors for hyperuricemia (P<0.05), while fruit [OR=0.52, 95%CI(0.32, 0.85)] and outdoor activities [OR=0.55, 95%CI(0.33, 0.92)] might be protective factors for HUA (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a high prevalence of hyperuricemia among adolescents aged 13-16 in Hangjiang district of Yangzhou city. The level of serum uric acid in adolescents significantly increased. Male, obesity, high salt and oily diets, soy products, animal offal, seafood, and sugary drinks may be risk factors for HUA. Fruits and outdoor activities may be protective factors for HUA. Relevant disciplines can take corresponding measures to prevent adolescent HUA.

Objective To study the clinical significance of thromboelastography (TEG) for determining the presence of coagulation disorders in septic children.Methods A total of 100 patients suffering from sepsis or severe sepsis in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Shanghai Children's Medical Center from February 2014 to January 2015 were recruited.TEG tests and conventional coagulation laboratory tests (CCTs) including platelet count,fibrinogen,prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time,D-dimers,and international normalized ratio (INR) were carried out in all patients at the primary diagnosis of sepsis.Another 25 healthy children taking physical examination were enrolled as control group.Rank Sum Test was used to detect the differences in coagulation markers and TEG between the groups and there was statistical significance when P ＜ 0.05.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the roles of TEG and CCTs tests in this study.Results Of them,there were 56 patients with sepsis and 44 with severe sepsis.The male to female ratio was 63∶ 37,the median age was 11.5 (3.3-48) months,and 71％ patients suffered from underlying disease.According to TEG,72 patients had coagulation disorders,including 28 with hypercoagulation and 44 with hypocoagulation.CCTs tests showed 50 patients had coagulation disorders,including 29 with non-overt DIC and 21 with overt DIC.The rate of hypercoagulability was significantly higher in non-DIC group than in non-overt DIC group (46％vs.17.2％,P =0.016).The rate of hypocoagulability was significantly higher in overt DIC group than in non-overt DIC group (100％ vs.44.8％,P ＜ 0.01).Patients with hypercoagulation disorders had significantly shorter R (coagulation reaction time) and K (coagulation formation time) and greater α (angle α),MA (maximal amplitude) and CI (comprehensive coagulation index) compared with control group (P ＜ 0.01).According to CCTs results,patients with hypercoagulation had significantly prolonged PT compared with control group (P =0.002).Compared with sepsis group,severe sepsis group had significantly prolonged R and K and lower α,MA and CI (P ＜ 0.01).ROC analysis demonstrated that area under the curve (AUC) of TEG and CCTs variables for diagnosis of severe sepsis were significantly greater than 0.5.Both variables of α (P =0.000 2) and K (P =0.004 1) had significantly greater AUCs compared with Fib.Conclusions There were 72％ septic patients with coagulation disorders.The hypercoagulability occurred earlier in patients with sepsis and the hypocoagulability occurred later in patients with severe sepsis.The TEG may provide important information for clinicians to deal with coagulation disorders in septic children.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of miR-155 in invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.Methods Real-time PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization were used to detect the miR-155 expression in patients′lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent tissue and lymph nodes.Scratch test and Transwell migration assay were used to assess the effect of miR-155 on the A549 cell migration and invasion capability.Bioinformatics software was used to predict the target genes of miR-155, and using luciferase to assay the target gene.Western blot and real-time PCR were performed to confirm the role of miR-155 expression in the regulation of target gene PTEN.Results The real-time quantitative PCR showed that the miR-155 expression levels in adjacent normal tissue, lung adenocarcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes were 4.1±0.5, 9.6±3.1 and 7.8±2.2, respectively.The in situ hybridization showed that the expression rates of miR-155 in the adjacent normal tissue, lung adenocarcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes were (23.2±15.3)%, (75.4±20.2 )% and (60.4±25.1)%,respectively.The Scratch assay showed that the wound healing rates in the miR-155 mimics group, miR-155 mimics NC group, miR-155 inhibitor group and miR-155 inhibitor NC group at 24 h were (43.2±2.2)%, (21.3±4.2)%, (24.3±5.3)%, and (35.2± 5.1)%, and that at 48 h were (75.2±4.5)%, (52.6±5.2)%, (39.4±4.2)%, and( 51.5±4.3)%, respectively.Dual luciferase reporter gene assay showed that the value of the luciferase in the miR -155 mimics group co-transfected with PTEN 3′UTR-containing wild-type and mutant plasmids were 4.7±0.5 and 7.3±0.7, and the miR-155 mimics luciferase values of the control group co-transfected with PTEN 3′UTR-containing wild-type and mutant plasmids were 7.8±0.9 and 7.5±0.8, respectively.The real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR showed that the relative expression of PTEN protein in the miR-155 mimics group, miR-155 mimics control group, miR-155 mimics inhibitor group, and miR-155 inhibitor control group were 0.5± 0.3, 1.0±0.1, 2.2±0.2 and 1.2 ±0.1, respectively.The Western blot assay detected that the relative expression of PTEN protein levels in the miR-155 mimics group, miR-155 mimics control group, miR-155 inhibitor group and miR-155 inhibitor control group were 0.4±0.1, 1.0±0.3, 2.8±0.2 and 1.4 ±0.1, respectively.The differences in PTEN mRNA and protein expressions of the four groups were statistically significant (P<0.05 for all).Conclusions miR-155 may promote the invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma through reducing the target PTEN gene expression.
