AIM: To observe the manifestations and distribution patterns of visual field in non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy(NAION).METHODS: Retrospective observational study. The investigation encompassed 183 patients(246 eyes)diagnosed with NAION who were evaluated at the Neuro-Ophthalmology/Acupuncture Department within the Eye Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from June 2018 to December 2023. Recorded clinical data covered demographic details, incidence, disease duration, presence of systemic diseases, and histories of tobacco and alcohol use, along with best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), visual field index(VFI), type of visual field defect, and thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(pRNFL).RESULTS: A total of 183 patients(246 eyes)were enrolled. The cohort consisted of 101 males and 82 females; 120 exhibited unilateral symptoms, while 63 showed bilateral symptoms, with a mean age of 56.20±9.78 years(range 29-81 years). The types of visual field defects observed were varied: 90 eyes(36.6%)had diffuse loss, 63 eyes(25.6%)experienced inferior hemifield loss, 32 eyes(13.0%)displayed ring scotomas, 22 eyes(8.9%)had arcuate scotomas, 11 eyes(4.5%)presented with quadrant defects, 15 eyes(6.1%)had sectorial or wedge defects, and 13 eyes(5.3%)showed superior hemifield loss. The BCVA(LogMAR)and VFI of patients with diffuse visual field loss were poorer than patients with other types of visual defects(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in visual field defects among patients of different genders and ages(all P<0.05). However, history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea and other systemic diseases, history of smoking and alcohol, and course of disease did not show specificity in the NAION visual field(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION:NAION manifests with a broad spectrum of visual field impairments across different genders, age, and levels of visual functionality. Extensive future research is necessary to identify additional reasons influencing the types of visual field damage in NAION.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. Despite their therapeutic potential, the use of ADCs faces significant challenges, including off/on-target toxicity and resistance development. This review examines the current landscape of ADC development, focusing on the critical aspects of target selection and antibody engineering. We discuss strategies to increase ADC efficacy and safety, including multitarget approaches, pH-dependent antibodies, and masked peptide technologies. The importance of comprehensive antigen expression profiling in both tumor and normal tissues is emphasized, highlighting the role of advanced technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing target selection. Furthermore, we explore combination therapies and innovations in linker‒payload chemistry, which may provide approaches for expanding the therapeutic window of ADCs. These advances pave the way for the development of more precise and effective cancer treatments, potentially extending ADC applications beyond oncology.

Objective The goal of this study was to carry out a trial of a novel disposable vacuum drainage bottle with speed drainage adjustment and a threaded catheter connector,as well as to further explore the effectiveness in drainage.Methods Twenty-seven patients who underwent continuous fluid drainage in the Coronary Care Unit(CCU)of our hospital between February and August 2023 were put on the trial.The patients were randomly assigned into a control group(12 cases,with 76 replacements of traditional vacuum drainage bottles over the catheterisation and an trial group(15 cases,with 83 replacements of the novelly modified disposable vacuum drainage bottle)by a simple random method.Patients in the control group had the drainage catheter connected to a traditional vacuum drainage bottle,while the patients in the trial group had drainage catheter connected to the novelly modified vacuum drainage bottle.The two groups were compared in terms of the number of bottle replacement,incidence of exudation/leakage/detachment,time for bottle replacement,cost of consumables for drainage,and satisfaction of patients and nurses.Results All patients completed the trial.The trial group exhibited a significantly lower incidence rate in exudation/leakage/detachment,shorter time for bottle replacement and lower cost of consumables for bottle replacement in comparison with those in the control group(all P＜0.05).Moreover,both patients and nurses in the trial group reported significantly higher satisfaction with the modified disposable bottle than the bottle used in the control group(both P＜0.001).Conclusions The novelly modified disposable vacuum drainage bottle overcomes the deficiencies of the traditional bottle,reduces the incidence of exudation/leakage/detachment over the drainage,cut down the cost of bottle replacement,and shorten the time for bottle replacement.The novel and modified disposable vacuum drainage bottle has received great appreciations from the patients and nursing staff.

Objective:To translate Evidence-based Practice-knowledge, attitude, application, anticipated future use (EBP-KAPF) scale into Chinese, and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:The Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale was determined through translation, adaptation, recall, review and pre-investigation. From July to August 2022, 250 clinicians from 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) were selected by using the convenience sampling method. A self-made questionnaire was used to investigate the EBP-KAPF scale in Chinese to investigate the EBM ability of clinicians, including the basic information of the respondents, the learning and use of Evidence-based medicine courses and related software. The item analysis, validity and reliability evaluation of the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale were performed.Results:The Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale included 26 items in four dimensions: knowledge mastery, attitude, personal application and future use. A total of 265 questionnaires were sent out (including self-made questionnaires and the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale), and 250 effective questionnaires were obtained, with a total effective rate of 94.3%. The total score of the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale was (102.85±17.48) points, and the scores of knowledge mastery, attitude, personal application and future use sub-scales were (27.22±4.47), (13.56±7.70), (20.07±6.78), and (42.00±9.00) points, respectively. Except for item 16, all items were correlated with the total score of the scale, and the correlation coefficient ranged from 0.456 to 0.828. After item 16 was deleted, the determination values of the remaining 25 items ranged from 4.287 to 18.262 ( P<0.001). After item was removed one by one, the Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale ranged from 0.870 to 0.888. After item 16 was removed, the Chinese version of the 25-item EBP-KAPF scale had good content validity, structural validity and discriminant validity. The content validity index (I-CVI) at the item level ranged from 0.875 to 1.000, and the content validity index at the overall agreement scale level was 0.615. The average S-CVI values were 0.952, and the probability of correction ( K*) values were 0.87 to 1.00. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the structure fit was good [comparative fit index (CFI)=0.962, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI)=0.957, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.060, χ2/ df=1.889]. Discriminant validity analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the EBP-KAPF scores among clinicians of different ages, evidence-based medicine course learning and related software use ( P<0.05). After item 16 was removed, the Cronbach′s α coefficient of the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale was 0.893, and the Guttman half coefficients of each dimension were 0.915, 0.901, 0.812 and 0.906, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.902-0.982, 0.507-0.953, 0.517-0.744 and 0.632-0.986, respectively. Conclusion:The Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale is simple, easy to understand, unambiguous, and has good validity and reliability.

Objective:To investigate the effects of the Y-box binding protein 1(YBX1)on the proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells by regulating silent information regulator 1(SIRT1),and explore the differential ex-pression of YBX1 and SIRT1 of premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)patients and health controls,as well as its clinical significance.Methods:We recruited patients with POI and patients with normal ovarian function during in vitro fertilization(IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI)assisted pregnancy in the Department of Reproduc-tive Medical Center of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2022 to July 2023.The granu-losa cells and serum were collected.Western-Blot(WB)to detect YBX1 protein expression.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)to detect YBX1 and SIRT1 mRNA levels,and the correlation between the abundance of YBX1 and SIRT1 in serum and follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),estra-diol(E2),anti-Mullerian Hormone(AMH),and antral follicle count(AFC)were analyzed.5-bromo-2-deoxyuracil(EdU)and cell counting Kit-8(CCK8)were applied to detect cell proliferation;TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay(TUNEL)to detect cell apoptosis;RT-qPCR to detect cell proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PC-NA),B cell lymphoma 2(Bcl2),Bcl2 associated X protein(BAX),and cysteine-aspartate protease 3(Caspase-3)mRNA expression;RNA Immunoprecipitation(RIP)experiment to detect the interaction between YBX1 and SIRT1.Results:The expression of YBX1 protein and SIRT1 mRNA in granulosa cells and serum of POI patients were significantly lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The expression of YBX1 and SIRT1 mRNA in serum were negatively correlated with FSH,LH(r＜0,P＜0.05),and positively correlated with E2,AMH and AFC(r＞0,P＜0.05).Upregulating YBX1 in granulosa cells increased SIRT1 protein expression,SIRT1 mRNA stabili-ty,EdU positive rate,cell viability,PCNA mRNA expression level,Bcl2/BAX ratio(P＜0.05),while decreased Caspase-3 mRNA expression level,TUNEL positive rate(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The expression levels of YBX1 and SIRT1 in POI patients were significantly reduced and correlated with clinical ovarian function indicators.YBX1 can bind to SIRT1 mRNA and enhance its stability,which may promote the proliferation of granulosa cells,and in-hibit apoptosis.These findings suggested that YBX1 and SIRT1 are expected to become new targets for POI diag-nosis and treatment.
