AIM: To compare and analyze the efficacy of femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)with small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)in the treatment of moderate myopia.METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 100 patients(100 eyes)with moderate myopia admitted to our hospital from August 2022 to October 2024 were selected(all the data of the right eye were taken for study). The 52 cases in FS-LASIK group received FS-LASIK, while the 48 cases in SMILE group received SMILE. The patients were followed up for 6 mo, the visual recovery, spherical equivalent, corneal curvature, corneal Q value, central corneal thickness, corneal volume, high-order aberrations, corneal biomechanical parameters and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: At 3 and 6 mo after surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)and spherical equivalent of both groups increased compared to before surgery(all P<0.05). At 6 mo after surgery, both groups showed a decrease in corneal curvature, central corneal thickness, and corneal volume, with the FS-LASIK group having a lower corneal volume; both groups showed a great increase in Q values, with the FS-LASIK group having a higher Q value(all P<0.001); the total high-order aberration, spherical aberration, and trefoil aberration all increased in both groups, with higher values observed in the FS-LASIK group(all P<0.001); the integrated radius(IR), inverse concave radius(ICR)and deformation amplitude ratio 2(DAR2)were all increased, while the stiffness parameter at first applanation(SP-A1), the highest concavity radius(HC-Radius)and the ambrosio's relational thickness to the horizontal profile(ARTh)were all decreased in both groups(all P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of complications between two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Both FS-LASIK and SMILE can help improve the visual quality of patients with moderate myopia, and their early postoperative corneal morphological changes have their own characteristics. In addition, patients who receive FS-LASIK have larger corneal Q value and high-order aberrations after surgery.

ObjectiveTo compare the differences in color， odor， coumarin content and microbial community composition of Angelicae Dahuricae Radix（ADR） during different drying processes， and to explore the correlation between changes in microbial community composition and changes in quality indexes of ADR. MethodsThe fresh ADR was processed at three drying temperatures（50， 70， 100 ℃） by drying and steaming cutting， semi-fresh cutting and drying， fresh cutting and drying， and sulfur fumigation methods. The color values of samples were extracted by Adobe Photoshop 2022 software and subjected to principal component analysis（PCA）， electronic nose was used to identify the odor information of medicinal powders and subjected to loadings analysis， PCA， and linear discriminant analysis（LDA）， and high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was used to determine the contents of five coumarins（bergapten， oxypeucedanin， imperatorin， phellopterin， isoimperatorin）. The samples for microbial detection were taken from fresh dried samples， 50 ℃（dried and steamed cut， sulfur fumigated） samples， and 100 ℃（dried and steamed cut） samples when the water content was 50% and 14%， respectively. And the changes of microbial community composition during processing were determined by high-throughput sequencing method. The relationship between the changes of microbial community composition and the changes of odor， color and active component content of ADR during drying process was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. ResultsThe color quantification results showed that an increase in drying temperature led to the decrease of brightness value（L）， and the increases of red-green value（a） and yellow-blue value（b）， and the change of processing method had no obvious effect on the color of medicinal materials. The results of odor quantification showed that W1S， W2S， W5S， W2W and W1W sensor were sensitive to the odor changes of ADR and could be used to distinguish ADR decoction pieces from different processing methods. The results of HPLC showed that the coumarin content of ADR decreased with the increase of drying temperature and the delay of processing time， the optimal processing method was drying and steaming cutting method， and the optimal temperature was 50 ℃. High-throughput sequencing results showed that the dominant bacteria in ADR during processing were Achromobacter， Agrobacterium， Nocardioides， Mycobacterium and Enterobacter， the dominant fungi were Coprinopsis， Meyerozyma and Apiotrichum. The results of correlation analysis showed that the quality indexes of ADR were positively correlated with Agrobacterium， Mycobacterium in bacteria， Candida in fungi， and negatively correlated with Bacillus in bacteria. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the color， odor， coumarin content and microbial community composition of ADR in different drying processes， and the best drying method is drying and steaming cutting at 50 ℃. The relative abundance changes of 9 bacterial genera and 4 fungal genera are closely related to the quality formation of ADR during the drying process.

Objective To observe the value of CT radiomics machine learning(ML)model for predicting stone free rate(SFR)of urinary calculi after retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS).Methods Totally 216 patients with urinary calculi who underwent RIRS were retrospectively enrolled and divided into residual group(n=73)and non-residual group(n=143).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression(LR)were performed to analyze clinical data and CT manifestations of stones to screen independent predictors of SFR after RIRS.Window width and window level normalization combined with max-min normalization(denoted as method a),max-min normalization(denoted as method b),window width and window level normalization(denoted as method c)and non-normalization(denoted as method d)of pre-RIRS abdominal CT were performed,respectively,and the best radiomics features of stones were extracted and screened to establish ML models,including support vector machine(SVM),LR and stochastic gradient descent(SGD)models,and the best ML model was screened.RUSS and modified S.T.O.N.E scores were evaluated based on pre-RIRS CT for predicting SFR of urinary calculi after RIRS.A combined model was then constructed with the independent predictors and the best ML model.The predictive efficacy of each model and scoring system were assessed.Results The number of stones,CT value and volume of the maximum stone were all independent predictors of SFR after RIRS(all P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of SVM model constructed with images preprocessed by method b was the highest(0.861),higher than that of the total scores of RUSS and modified S.T.O.N.E(AUC=0.750,0.759,both P＜0.05)but not different from that of combined model(AUC=0.853,P=0.775).Conclusion Radiomics SVM model based on max-min normalization preprocessed CT could effectively predict SFR of urinary calculi after RIRS.

Objective:To explore the effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone as well as the change of estradiol 12 h after hCG trigger on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at the Center for Reproduction and Genetics of the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. A total of 2 506 patients received IVF/ICSI-ET treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) protocol from March 2015 to June 2020 were selected. With Spearman rank correlation analysis and path analysis, we explore the relationship among the changes of these hormones and the baseline characteristic of patients, as well as the relationship among the changes of these hormones and the outcomes of IVF treatment.Results:The increase of hCG was accompanied by the rise of progesterone and the decline of estradiol change rate ( r=0.094, P<0.001; r=-0.093, P<0.001). Meanwhile the rise of progesterone was accompanied by the decline of estradiol change rate ( r=-0.089, P<0.001). The dosage of hCG trigger was directly positively correlated to hCG level after hCG trigger, path coefficients (PC) was 0.307 ( P<0.001). Body mass index (BMI) was directly negatively correlated to hCG level and progesterone level after hCG trigger (PC=-0.434, P<0.001; PC=-0.154, P<0.001), whereas positively correlated to estradiol change rate (PC=0.097, P<0.001). Meanwhile the duration and dosage of gonadotropin (Gn) used were positively correlated to progesterone level after hCG trigger (PC=0.102, P<0.001; PC=0.080, P=0.030). hCG level and progesterone level after hCG trigger had positive correlation to oocyte retrieved rate (PC=0.098, P<0.001; PC=0.080, P<0.001). While estradiol change rate was not correlated to oocyte retrieved rate ( P>0.05). Progesterone level on hCG trigger day negatively related to normal fertilization rate (PC=-0.050, P=0.039). hCG level, progesterone level and estradiol change rate after hCG trigger had no correlation with high-quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Oocyte retrieved rate was positively affected by hCG level and progesterone level 12 h after hCG trigger. While normal fertilization rate, high-quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate were not affected by the change of hormones level 12 h after hCG trigger. Therefore we should pay attention to hCG level and progesterone level 12 h after hCG trigger.

Objective:To analyse the clinical significance of selective single embryo transfer by time-lapse mo-nitoring(TLM)or conventional morphology assessment(CMA)in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection and embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET),and to initially explore the predictive value of Raman spectral analy-sis of embryo culture medium for clinical pregnancy rate.Methods:The study is a prospective randomized con-trolled clinical trial.We assigned 139 patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET in Reproductive and Genetics Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April 2019 to July 2020,which were randomly assigned to either the CMA or the TLM group.We performed selective single-embryo transfer(fresh cycle and FET)after selecting the optimal em-bryos with TLM or CMA respectively.If the patient's first embryo transfer was unsuccessful,a second one would be performed to compare the differences in the cumulative live birth rate of embryo transfer and other pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.Meanwhile,we collected 15 μl of embryo culture medium at day 3 after IVF/ISCI fertilization for Raman spectroscopy analysis.Results:There were no differences in cumulative live birth,cu-mulative clinical pregnancy,cumulative premature birth,cumulative early spontaneous abortion,cumulative ectopic pregnancy and LGA or SGA between TLM and CMA groups(P＞0.05).The Neonatal sex ratio in the TLM group was lower than that in the CMA group,but the difference was not significant(P＞0.05).Raman spectros-copy analysis of embryo culture medium predicted the clinical pregnancy rate with 67.21％accuracy.Conclu-sions:In young women with a good ovarian reserve,the advantage of using TLM to evaluate embryos is not obvi-ous,so we should remain vigilant that embryo selection based on morphokinetic parameters may affect the sex ratio.Raman spectroscopic analysis of embryo culture medium is not yet able to effectively predict the planting ability of embryos.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can increase the risk of thrombosis and arterial embolism events in patients. The more serious the condition, the higher the risk. Therefore, many academic groups at home and abroad have successively issued guidelines on the prevention and treatment of thrombosis in patients with COVID-19. Among them, American Society of Hematology 2021 guidelines on the use of anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis in patients with COVID-19 (ASH guidelines) and its updates are newer and have more detailed recommendations on the application of anticoagulant drugs to prevent venous thromboembolism in acutely and critically ill patients with COVID-19. This review aims to provide reference for clinic through general viewing the ASH guidelines as well as other relevant guidelines at home and abroad.
