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.

There is increasing evidence that the activation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor(GLP-1R)can be used as a therapeutic intervention for cognitive disorders.Here,we have screened GLP-1 R targeted com-pounds from Scutellaria baicalensis,which revealed baicalein is a potential GLP-1 R small-molecule agonist.Mitophagy,a selective autophagy pathway for mitochondrial quality control,plays a neuro-protective role in multiple cognitive impairment diseases.We noticed that Glp1r knock-out(KO)mice present cognitive impairment symptoms and appear worse in spatial learning memory and learning capacity in Morris water maze(MWM)test than their wide-type(WT)counterparts.Our mechanistic studies revealed that mitophagy is impaired in hippocampus tissue of diabetic mice and Glp1r KO mice.Finally,we verified that the cognitive improvement effects of baicalein on diabetic cognitive dysfunction occur through the enhancement of mitophagy in a GLP-1 R-dependent manner.Our findings shed light on the importance of GLP-1 R for cognitive function maintenance,and revealed the vital significance of GLP-1R for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis.Furthermore,we identified the therapeutic potential of baicalein in the treatment of cognitive disorder associated with diabetes.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of Candida albicans Int1 in regulating septin organization. Methods:A series of full-length and truncated fragments of Int1 were constructed and fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP). The intracellular localization of the fusion proteins was observed under a fluorescence microscope. The region in Int1 that was required for bud neck localization was identified. Full-length and fragments of Int1 were overexpressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the changes in cell growth, cell morphology and septin organization were investigated to determine the functional region in Int1 that mediated the interaction with septin. Moreover, the co-localization of the region and septin was analyzed. Results:The full-length Int1 consisted of 1 661 amino acid residues. A middle region of 209 amino acid residues, Int1-M4 (739-947 aa), that could be localized at the bud neck during both small and large bud periods was identified. Overexpression of Int1-M4 led to significant growth defects, elongated bud and disorganized septin. In the cells with elongated bud, Int1-M4 and septin with abnormal structures could be co-localized.Conclusions:Int1-M4 (739-947 aa), the middle region of Int1 containing 209 amino acid residues, mediated the bud neck localization and the interaction with septin, playing an important role in regulating septin organization.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of early oral nutrition for gastric cancer patients after total gastrectomy based on propensity score matching.Methods:Using convenience sampling method, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 755 patients who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer at Jiangsu Subei People's Hospital from 2012 to 2020. A total of 454 patients who received early oral nutrition after surgery were included in the study group, while 301 patients who received conventional nutrition were included in the control group. The study group patients began eating orally on the first day after surgery, while the control group patients began eating orally after anal exhaust. The propensity score matching method was used to balance confounding factors between two groups.Results:A total of 203 pairs (406 cases) of patients were matched. After matching, there was no statistically significant difference in general data between the two groups ( P>0.05). The study group had lower dietary intake time, first anal exhaust time, hospital stay, incidence of abdominal infection, and incidence of anastomotic fistula compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Early oral nutrition for gastric cancer patients after total gastrectomy can promote intestinal function recovery, shorten hospital stay, and do not increase the risk of complications, including anastomotic fistula. It has the same acceptable tolerance as conventional nutrition, indicating that early oral nutrition after total gastrectomy is safe and feasible.
