AIM: To observe the changes of retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thickness and radial peripheral capillary(RPC)density in patients with unilateral branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO), and further analyze the correlation between RPC density and RNFL thickness.METHODS: Observational study. Totally 37 patients with unilateral BRVO diagnosed at the ophthalmology department of First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from October 2020 to January 2022 were selected, the 37 affected eyes were the unilateral BRVO group, and 37 fellow healthy eyes were the contralateral unaffected group, and 35 healthy individuals(35 right eyes were selected)without ocular diseases during the same period were selected as the normal control group. The best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior segment, fundus and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)were examined in both eyes of all BRVO patients and healthy individuals. The central macular thickness(CMT), the RNFL thickness, and the optic disc-AV crossing distance(DAVD)were measured by built-in software of the OCTA equipment. The optimized U-net algorithm was used to eliminate the large blood vessels, and then the RPC density was calculated. The CMT, RNFL thickness and RPC density were compared among the three groups. And the correlations of the RPC density with the CMT, RNFL thickness, and the DAVD were investigated.RESULTS: Compared with the contralateral unaffected group and the normal control group, the CMT and the RNFL thickness were significantly thickened in the unilateral BRVO group(all P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in the CMT and the RNFL thickness between the contralateral unaffected group and the normal control group(all P>0.05). The RPC density in the unilateral BRVO group increased compared with the contralateral unaffected group and decreased compared with the normal control group, but there was no statistically difference(all P>0.05). However, the RPC density in the contralateral unaffected group decreased compared with the normal control group(P<0.05). The RPC density in the unilateral BRVO group was not correlated with the CMT(P=0.960), but positively correlated with the RNFL thickness(r=0.401, P=0.014)and negatively correlated with the DAVD(r=-0.339, P=0.040).CONCLUSION: The RNFL thickened significantly and the RPC density did not change significantly in the optic disc area of BRVO patients. The RPC density is positively correlated with the RNFL thickness, indicating that the RNFL thickness can be used as a monitoring indicator to analyze and study the damage degree of the RPC density.

ObjectiveTo study the regulatory effects of Yinchenhao Tang combined with Yinchen Zhufu Tang on the expression of regulatory T (Treg)/helper T 17 (Th17) cells cultured in vitro from the patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF). MethodsFresh peripheral blood was collected from the patients with HBV-ACLF for the separation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Immunomagnetic beads were used to isolate primary Treg and naive CD4+ T cells. After in vitro expansion, naive CD4+ T cells were induced to differentiate into Th17 cells. Rats were treated with the clearing method (Yinchenhao Tang), warming method (Yinchen Zhufu Tang), and combination of clearing method with warming method (Yinchenhao Tang combined with Yinchen Zhufu Tang, also known as Wenyang Jiedu Huayu Prescription), respectively, and then the medicated plasma samples were collected. Meanwhile, blank plasma was collected from the rats treated with normal saline. Cells were classified into blank, clearing method (5.04 g·kg-1), warming method (6.21 g·kg-1), and combination of clearing method with warming method (17.1 g·kg-1) groups and treated with corresponding plasma. The frequency of Treg/Th17 cells was detected by flow cytometry. The level of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) was measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cytometric bead array (CBA) was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-23 (IL-23). The mRNA and protein levels of Forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) and retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-gamma t (ROR-γt) were determined by Real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the combination of clearing method with warming method group showed decreased frequency of Treg and Th17 cells, lowered levels of Treg cytokines (TGF-β and IL-10) and Th17 cytokines (TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-23), and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of FoxP3 and ROR-γt (P<0.01). Compared with the clearing method group, the combination of clearing method with warming method group showed decreased Treg cell frequency and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of FoxP3. Meanwhile, the combination group showed decreased Th17 cell frequency, lowered levels of TGF-β, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-23, and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of ROR-γt (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the warming method group, the combination of clearing method with warming method group showed decreased frequency of Treg cells and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of FoxP3. Meanwhile, the combination group showed decreased Th17 cell frequency, declined levels of TGF-β, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-23, and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of ROR-γt (P<0.05). ConclusionThe combination of clearing method with warming method can down-regulate the expression of specific cytokines of Treg and Th17 cells, inhibit the over activation of Treg and Th17 cells, and reduce the secretion of cytokines such as TGF-β, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-17A, and IL-23, thereby alleviating inflammation and improving the prognosis of the patients with liver failure.

ObjectiveTo investigate the differential expression of intestinal flora in patients with different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types (Yang Huang syndrome, Yin-Yang Huang syndrome, and Yin Huang syndrome) of hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) and clarify the biological basis of jaundice and Yin Huang syndrome in liver failure. MethodsA total of 20 cases of HBV-ACLF patients were included in the Yang Huang group, 20 cases in the Yin-Yang Huang group, 16 cases in the Yin Huang group, and 20 healthy adult volunteers. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to detect the diversity, species distribution, and differences of the subjects' intestinal flora, and bioinformatics analysis was conducted. ResultsCompared with those in the healthy control group, the species richness and diversity of intestinal flora in the HBV-ACLF Yang Huang group, Yin-Yang Huang group, and Yin Huang group were significantly reduced, and there were significant differences in the composition of intestinal flora compared with healthy volunteers. However, there were no significant differences in the species richness, diversity, and composition of intestinal flora among the three groups. LEfSe analysis showed that compared with the healthy control group, the HBV-ACLF Yang Huang group showed significant enrichment of Staphylococcus aureus(P<0.01). Yin-Yang Huang group showed significant enrichment of s_Ileibacterium valens(P<0.05,P<0.01), and the Yin Huang group showed significant enrichment of Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus sali varius(P<0.05). These strains may be biomarkers between the three groups of patients and the healthy control group. Compared with that in the Yin-Yang Huang group, Tyzzerella_nexilis was significantly enriched in the Yang-Huang group, and Streptococcus lactiae was significantly enriched in the Yin-Yang Huang group. Compared with that in the Yang-Huang group and the Yin-Yang Huang group, Enterococcus faecalis was significantly enriched in the Yin Huang group. The above strains may be biomarkers among the three groups of patients, and Enterococcus faecium may be a biomarker for the transition from the Yang Huang group to the Yin Huang group. ConclusionsThere are significant differences in the intestinal flora between patients with HBV-ACLF Yang Huang syndrome, Yin-Yang Huang syndrome, and Yin Huang syndrome. Enterococcus faecium is significantly enriched in the Yin Huang syndrome group, suggesting that dysbiosis of the intestinal flora may be the biological basis for jaundice and Yin Huang syndrome in liver failure.

BackgroundPostpartum depression can affect the physical and mental health of mothers and the quality of parenting. Most Chinese women perform traditional postpartum practices (commonly known as "doing the month") after giving birth, while the existing findings are inconsistent and inconclusive regarding the potential of traditional Chinese postpartum practices to alleviate or exacerbate postpartum depression. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between traditional Chinese postpartum practices and postpartum depression, so as to provide references for reducing the risk of postpartum depression. MethodsA total of 240 consecutive women who gave birth in the obstetrics department of the Mianyang Central Hospital and the Third Hospital of Mianyang from January to May 2024 were selected. Data were collected using Self-designed General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), the Adherence to Doing-the-Month Practices questionnaire (ADP), and the Self-compiled Questionnaire on the Cognition of Doing-the-Month. The absolute value (A value) of the difference between scores of ADP and Cognition of Doing-the-Month Questionnaire was calculated to evaluate the degree of cognitive behavioral conflict of postpartum women. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlations of EPDS score with SSRS score, PHQ-15 score, ADP total and dimensional scores, Cognition of Doing-the-Month Questionnaire total and dimensional scores, and A value. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the protective and risk factors for developing postpartum depression. ResultsThe postpartum depression was detected in 22.50% of women. The postpartum women had a EPDS score of (6.21±5.00), ADP score of (70.05±20.57), SSRS score of (41.96±6.96), PHQ-15 score of (4.63±3.77), and Cognition of Doing-the-Month questionnaire score of (40.30±10.13). The A value was (0.65±0.58). Correlation analysis revealed that EPDS score was negatively correlated with the total ADP score and the four dimensional scores of the restrictions on social activities, diet, housework, and personal hygiene (r=-0.228, -0.146, -0.184, -0.275, -0.168, P<0.05 or 0.01), and positively correlated with the A value (r=0.161, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that restriction on housework dimension in ADP was entered into the model (OR=0.930, 95% CI: 0.885~0.978). ConclusionThe restriction on housework dimension in traditional Chinese postpartum practices may be a protective factor against postpartum depression.

Objective To assess the health risks of gaseous pollutants in the indoor air of hair and beauty salons in Jinan, and to provide technical support for strengthening the hygiene management of hair and beauty salons in Jinan and promoting the improvement of conditions. Methods Every year, indoor air samples were collected from 10-16 selected hair salons and beauty salons in Jinan, and relevant information on practitioners was also collected. According to the “Technical Guidelines for Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Chemicals”, an assessment was conducted on the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of inhalation pathways of gaseous pollutants in the indoor air of hair salons and beauty salons. Results Benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, and ammonia were detected in the indoor air of hair salons and beauty salons. Formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia all exceeded the standard in hair salons and beauty salons. The median risk values of formaldehyde and benzene for carcinogenesis in hair salons and beauty salons were both greater than 10-6, with maximum values higher than 10-4. The median chronic non-carcinogenic risk value of formaldehyde in the indoor air of hair salons and beauty salons was greater than 1. The median chronic non-carcinogenic risk values for benzene and ammonia were both less than 1, but the maximum risk value was greater than 1. Conclusion Benzene and formaldehyde in the indoor air of hair salons and beauty salons in Jinan City have carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks, while ammonia has non-carcinogenic risks, which should be paid attention to.

Objective To explore clinical accuracy of remote sensing navigation alignment(RSNA)system in total knee arthroplasty(TKA)and its influence on postoperative clinical efficacy.Methods From May 2021 to May 2022,60 knee os-teoarthritis(KOA)patients with Kellgren-Lawrence(K-L)grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ treated by unilateral primary TKA were selected and divided into RSNA group and traditional operation group according to treatment methods,and 30 patients in each group.There were 6 males and 24 females in RSNA group,aged from 55 to 86 years old with an average of(68.06±8.23)years old;body mass index(BMI)ranged from 22.15 to 34.58 kg·m-2 with an average of(28.20±3.01)kg·m-2;the courses of disease ranged from 2 to 60 months with an average of(18.80±14.80)months;13 patients with grade Ⅲ and 17 patients with grade Ⅳaccording to K-L grading.In traditional operation group,there were 8 males and 22 females,aged from 57 to 85 years old with an average of(67.26±6.32)years old;BMI ranged from 23.94 to 34.55 kg·m-2 with an average of(27.49±2.32)kg·m-2;the courses of disease ranged from 3 to 60 months with an average of(21.30±16.44)months;14 patients with grade Ⅲ and 16 pa-tients with grade Ⅳ according to K-L grading.Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC)osteoarthritis index and Knee Society score(KSS)were used to evaluate functional recovery of patients.Hip-knee-ankle angle(HKAA),distal femoral valgus angle(FVA)and distal fermoral flexion angle(DFFA)were measured before operation.HKAA and HKAA deviation angle were measured at 1 week after operation,and defective rate of lower limb force line,femur prosthesis valgus angle(FP-VA)and femoral prosthesis flexion angle(FPFA),respectively,were calculated.Results There were no serious complications such as vascular and nerve injury during operation,and wound healed at stage Ⅰ.Both groups were followed up for 6 months.There were no significant difference in WOMAC index,KSS,HKAA,FVA and DFFA between two groups before operation(P>0.05).The force line defect rate,HKAA,HKAA deviation angle,FPVA deviation angle and FPFA of RSNA group were 6.7%,(178.74±1.56)°,(1.25±1.56)°,(1.84±0.16)° and(4.85±2.46)°,respectively;while in traditional operation group were 20%,(176.73±3.46)°,(3.27±3.46)°,(2.44±0.26)°,(6.60±1.86)°;the difference between two groups were statistically sig-nificant(P<0.05).There were no significant difference in WOMAC index and KSS between two groups at 3 and 6 months after operation(P>0.05).Conclusion RSNA system could reduce defective rate of lower limb force line,FPVA deviation angle and FPFA after TKA,which is more accurate and easy to operate than traditional intramedullary localization surgery while ensuring postoperative efficacy.
