AIM: To compare the outcome of C3F8 versus silicone oil tamponade after pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)and inverted internal limiting membrane(ILM)for the treatment of highly myopic macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD).METHODS: Retrospective clinical study. Totally 45 patients(45 eyes)with highly myopic MHRD who visited our hospital between January 2019 and August 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were divided into two groups according to different intraocular tamponade agents: C3F8(22 eyes)and silicone oil(23 eyes)groups. All patients underwent conventional three-incision PPV, ILM was tamped, a venous blood clot was placed on the tamped ILM, and 15% C3F8 and silicone oil were used as tamponade, respectively. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), multifocal electroretinogram(mfERG), the closure of the macular hole, retinal reattachment and the complications were observed.RESULTS: The macular hole closure rate was 77% in the C3F8 group and 83% in the silicone oil group, respectively(P>0.05), and retinal reattachment rates were 95% and 96%, respectively(P>0.05). The visual acuity of the two groups significantly improved, which was 0.99±0.34 and 1.22±0.37, respectively, and the C3F8 group was better than that of the silicone oil group(t=-2.156, P=0.037). After operation, the response density of the first ring of P1 wave in the first order kernel in mfERG was 114.27±26.37 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 98.08±24.36 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, and the response density of the second ring of P1 wave was 80.45±14.94 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 67.73±15.33 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, all of which were significantly higher compared to pre-operation [the response density of the first ring of P1 wave: 58.13±13.96 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 55.30±10.48 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, the response density of the second ring of P1 wave: 51.18±8.19 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 47.43±11.97 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group](all P<0.05). It was found that the response density of the first ring of P1 wave was lower in the silicone oil group than in the C3F8 group(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Silicone oil tamponade or C3F8 tamponade after PPV combined with ILM can both promote retinal reattachment and macular hole closure in patients with MHRD, and the C3F8 tamponade was superior to silicone oil in visual function recovery.

The paper reports a case of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA) crystalline nephropathy caused by mutation of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase ( APRT) gene. The female patient was 60 years old, and sought medical advice due to "foaming urine increased for half a year". Renal biopsy result showed irregular yellowish brown 2,8-DHA crystals with refraction under polarized light. 2,8-DHA crystals were found by urine sediment detection, and homozygous deletion of c.521_523delTCT on exon 5 of APRT gene was found by genetic testing. Finally this patient was diagnosed as 2,8-DHA crystalline nephropathy. Renal function improved after treatment with allopurinol. The case report aims to improve the clinician's understanding of 2,8-DHA crystalline nephropathy. Early recognition, correct diagnosis, and early drug intervention may delay the progression of renal failure and improve the prognosis.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of physical activity (PA) intensity and sedentary behavior (SB) on calcanues bone mineral density (BMD) in preschool children, so as to provide a basis for rationalizing the daily physical activity of preschool children to promote bone health.
Methods:
A total of 673 pre school children aged 3-6 years from nine kindergartens in Pingxiang City, Ganzhou City and Yingtan City of Jiangxi Province, were selected from September to December 2021 by using the whole stratified cluster random sampling method. The PA levels and SB were measured by using a three axis acceleration sensor, and left calcanues BMD was measured by an ultrasound bone densitometer. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the effects of changes in PA on calcanues BMD in pre school children of all ages.
Results:
Of the 673 preschoolers surveyed, 498 (74.0%) achieved an average of ≥60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day, there were 265 boys (71.2%), and 233 girls ( 77.4 %). The difference between genders was not statistically significant ( χ 2=2.77, P >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the BMD test of the calcaneus bones of preschoolers by gender ( Z=0.42, P >0.05). The difference in BMD results of pre school children with 3, 4, 5 to 6 years was statistically significant ( H=2.65, P <0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between SB duration and calcaneus BMD ( r =-0.13), and a positive correlation between low intensity physical activity (LPA) duration, MVPA duration, and calcaneus BMD ( r =0.14, 0.25 ) ( P <0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that SB duration negatively correlated with calcaneus BMD, whereas LPA and MVPA duration positively correlated with calcaneus BMD ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
MVPA duration is positively correlated with the growth of BMD in the heel bone and negatively correlated with SB. The kindergartens can adjust their curricula according to the physical and mental developmental characteristics, gender and age differences of pre school children, increase the time of outdoor activities, and reduce the sedentary time to promote the bone health of young children.

Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of quality of life in patients with osteoradionecrosis of the jaws (ORNJ) in order to provide theory basis for nursing intervention. Methods Ninety-five patients hospitalized from January 2015 to Febury 2017 and participated in the investigation by a convenient sampling method. The functional assessment of cancer therapy-head and neck (FACT-H&N), social support rating scale (SSRS) and general information questionnaire were used to assess the quality of life, social support and basic information in ORNJ patients in our hospital respectively. Results The score of quality of life was (79.99 ±15.72). The index value of common module of quality of life was higher than that of additional concern. The average scores of each dimension of common module from low to high were as follows: functional well-being, social/family well-being, physical well-being and emotional well-being. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of quality of life were social support, severe mouth opening difficulty (grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ), the course of primary disease (3 ~5 years, 5 ~10 years), which explained 35.6%variation in the quality of life. Conclusions The quality of life of ORNJ patients is generally lower than that of other head and neck cancer patients. The social support, severe mouth opening difficulty and course of primary disease can affect the patients' quality of life.The smaller the mouth opening (≤1 cm), the longer the course of primary disease (3~5 years) and the worse the quality of life is. Thus, nursing staff should pay attention to the quality of life of ORNJ patients and give prospective nursing intervention to improve the quality of life according to the characteristics of the development of the disease.
