AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose transscleral cyclophotocoagulation(TSCP)in the management of persistent ocular hypertension after an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma(AACG).METHODS:This retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with persistent ocular hypertension after an acute AACG attack at the No.988 Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese PLA between September 2023 and September 2024. All patients underwent low-dose TSCP using a semiconductor diode laser. Subsequent cataract surgery combined with goniosynechialysis was performed once intraocular pressure(IOP)was stabilized. Changes in anterior chamber depth(ACD), best-corrected visual acuity(VA), and IOP were compared before and after TSCP, as well as before and after phacoemulsification. Post-TSCP complications were also documented.RESULTS: A total of 21 patients(21 eyes)were enrolled, including 8 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 67.95±7.25 y. Compared with pre-cyclophotocoagulation values, ACD increased significantly at 3 d post-TSCP(1.49±0.18 vs 1.22±0.21 mm; P<0.001). BCVA and IOP decreased significantly at 1 d post-TSCP, pre-phacoemulsification, 1 wk post-phacoemulsification, and 1 mo post-phacoemulsification compared with pre-TSCP IOP(all P<0.01). Regarding postoperative complications, 2 eyes experienced pain on the day of the procedure, 5 eyes developed mild corneal endothelial folds, 2 eyes exhibited moderate anterior chamber inflammatory reaction, and 12 eyes showed shallow ciliary body detachment. No serious complications occurred during the 1-month follow-up period.CONCLUSION:Low-dose TSCP appears to be an effective bridging therapy for patients with persistent ocular hypertension following an AACG attack. It facilitates rapid IOP reduction, alleviates symptoms, and helps preserve visual function with a favorable safety profile, thereby reducing the risks associated with subsequent intraocular surgery.

Objective: To explore the bidirectional associations among body mass index Z scores (BMI Z scores) and weight stigma with depressive symptoms in adolescents, thereby providing evidence for targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 18 301 adolescents aged 12-18 years from all 12 prefectures (103 counties) in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and two waves of longitudinal surveys were conducted in September 2023 (T1) and September 2024 (T2) among the adolescents. Weight stigma was assessed by using a self developed questionnaire, depressive symptom was measured with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and BMI Z scores were calculated according to the World Health Organization standards. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine associations among variables, and cross lagged panel models were constructed to investigate the dynamic bidirectional relationships among the three variables. Results: Adolescents BMI Z scores and weight stigma with depressive symptoms all exhibited autoregressive stability across the two time points (autoregressive paths, all P <0.01). Cross lagged model comparisons indicated that the bidirectional path model achieved the best fit ( χ 2=12.65, RMSEA =0.017, CFI =1.000; △ χ 2=193.39, P <0.01), supporting dynamic bidirectional associations among the three variables. After adjusting for gender, age, subjective social status and only child status, T1 BMI Z scores among adolescents positively predicted T2 weight stigma ( β =0.061), and T1 weight stigma positively predicted T2 depressive symptoms ( β =0.608); in the reverse direction, T1 depressive symptoms predicted T2 weight stigma ( β =0.003), and T1 weight stigma predicted T2 BMI Z scores ( β =0.081) (all P <0.01). Conclusions There is a bidirectional cross lagged relationship among adolescents BMI Z scores and weight stigma with depressive symptoms, suggesting that weight stigma may serve as a key psychological variable linking obesity and depressive symptoms. Greater attention should be paid to the potential threat of weight stigma to adolescents mental health, with intervention strategies expanded from a solely physiological focus to encompass psychosocial dimensions.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of quadratus lumborum block (QLB) combined with less opioid anesthesia analgesia in laparoscopic total hysterectomy (LTH) in elderly patients with uterine prolapse.Methods:A total of 86 elderly patients with uterine prolapse who received LTH in the Langfang People’s Hospital from Jan. 2021 to Oct. 2023 were prospectively selected and divided into group A ( n=42) and group B ( n=44) according to the random number table method. Group A received transversus abdominis block (TAPB) + general anesthesia, and group B received QLB combined with less opioid anesthesia + general anesthesia. The pain duration at different time points after operation [Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) method to evaluate resting incision and visceral pain] was compared between the two groups. The dosage of opioids and the additional analgesia rate were compared between the two groups. The sleep quality of the two groups before and 72 hours after operation was compared, and the adverse reactions of anesthesia were counted. Results:Compared with 6 h after operation, NRS scores of resting incision pain and visceral pain in the two groups decreased gradually at 12, 24 and 48 h after operation, and it was lower in group B than in group A. There were statistically significant differences between groups ( P<0.05) . Dosage of sufentanil and remifentanil in group B was lower than that in group A, and the postoperative additional analgesia rate in group B (9.09%) was lower than that in group A (28.57%) ( P<0.05) . 72 hours after surgery, the sleep efficiency and total sleep time of patients in both groups were lower than those before surgery, and they were higher in group B than in group A; The awakening time and number of awakenings in both groups were higher than those before surgery, while they were lower in group B than in group A ( P<0.05) . The total incidence of adverse reactions in group B was 4.76% (2/44) , lower than 23.81% (10/42) of group A ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:QLB combined with less opioid anesthesia analgesia can effectively reduce the degree of incision and visceral pain after LTH in elderly patients with uterine prolapse, reduce the amount of opioids used during operation and the rate of additional analgesia, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions of anesthesia.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of wasting, spinal curvature abnormalities and multimorbidity among children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Inner Mongolia and explore the related factors of these two health problems.Methods:In September 2022, a stratified random cluster sampling method was employed to select 188 635 children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Inner Mongolia for physical examinations and questionnaire surveys. Data on height, weight, as well as dietary behavior, physical activity, classroom environment, academic tasks, writing posture, and screen behavior were collected. The epidemiological characteristics of wasting, spinal curvature abnormalities and multimorbidity were analyzed. Additionally, a multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with wasting, spinal curvature abnormalities and multimorbidity.Results:A total of 188 635 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years participated in this study, including 95 393 boys (50.6%) with an average age of (11.53±3.32) years. The detection rate of wasting was 3.79%, with a higher detection rate in boys (4.18%) than in girls (3.38%) ( P<0.001). The detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities was 3.64%, with a higher detection rate in girls (4.04%) than in boys (3.25%) ( P<0.001). The detection rate of multimorbidity between wasting and spinal curvature abnormalities was 0.17%, and there was no statistically significant difference between genders ( P>0.05). The detection rates of wasting, spinal curvature abnormalities, and multimorbidity all increased with age ( P t<0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for gender, age, urban/rural status, and school grade, compared to children and adolescents who exercised ≥1 hour of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for at least 5 days per week and had daily screen time <2 hours, those who exercised <5 days per week ( OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.19-1.37) and had daily screen time ≥2 hours ( OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.03-1.19) had a higher risk of wasting. Compared to children and adolescents who had ≥5 physical education (PE) classes per week, adjusted desk and chair height,<1 hour of after-school study/writing time, and whose parents or teachers rarely or never reminded them about posture, those with <5 PE classes per week ( OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.02-1.21), unadjusted desk and chair height ( OR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.01-1.15),≥1 hour of after-school study/writing time ( OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.07-1.24), frequent reminders from parents ( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.09-1.23), and frequent reminders from teachers ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.16) had a higher risk of spinal curvature abnormalities. Compared to children and adolescents who did not consume sugary drinks daily, exercised ≥1 hour of MVPA for at least 5 days per week, and whose teachers rarely or never reminded them about posture, those who consumed sugary drinks daily ( OR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.00-2.46), exercised <5 days per week ( OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.01-1.79), and had teachers who frequently reminded them about posture ( OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.05-1.75) had a higher risk of multimorbidity between wasting and spinal curvature abnormalities. Conclusion:The detection rates of wasting, spinal curvature abnormalities and multimorbidity among children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Inner Mongolia are generally low, with an increasing trend observed with age. Both lifestyle and school environmental factors are associated with wasting, spinal curvature abnormalities and multimorbidity.

Objective To design a storage device for lymph node specimens of gynecological malignant tumors and to evaluate its application effect.Methods The specimen depository is composed of 3 parts,including storage frame,partition plate and marking plate.391 patients with gynecological malignant tumor surgeries requiring collection of retroperitoneal lymph nodes were selected in the operating room of a tertiary A hospital in Zhejiang Province from January to December 2022 in accordance with the operation schedule.They were randomly divided into an experimental group(n=196)and a control group(n=195).Patients in the experimental group used a newly developed storage device,while the control group was with traditional device.The incidence of additional verification specimens by doctors,the average time for disposing of lymph node specimens,and the job satisfaction survey of doctors and nurses were compared.Results Within a period of 12 months after utilizing this easily recognizable specimen storage device,the additional verification rate in the experimental group was 10.62％compared with the rate of 72.48％in the control group.The average time of disposing lymph node specimens was reduced from(8.3±0.9)to(5.2±0.3)minutes.Doctors and nurses in the experimental group reported a higher level of satisfaction for the specimen storage device(P＜0.05).Conclusion Utilizing the newly designed specimen storage device can help medical staff to alleviate their workload,enhance their work efficiency,raise their job satisfaction,and ensure the accuracy of pathological results.

AIM: To observe the outcome of intravitreal balanced salt solution(BSS)injection to increase intraocular pressure(IOP)after extrascleral subretinal fluid drainage, then scleral buckling(SB)to treat superior bullous retinal detachment(SBRD), and compare it with the effect of conventional surgery(without any intravitreal filling)and postoperative air filling.METHODS: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 72 patients(73 eyes)who underwent SB for SBRD from January 2018 to December 2022 in ophthalmology department of Xijing Hospital were included. The extrascleral subretinal fluid drainage was performed in all eyes. According to whether intravitreal injection was performed and different injections, patients were divided into three groups: with 24 cases(24 eyes)in the conventional group(no intravitreal injection), 23 cases(23 eyes)in the air group(sterile air was injected after surgery), and 25 cases(26 eyes)in the BSS group(BSS was injected during extrascleral subretinal fluid drainage). All patients were followed up until subretinal fluid was absorbed completely. The average surgery time, postoperative IOP, retinal reattachment rate, subretinal fluid absorption, visual acuity(LogMAR)and major complications were compared.RESULTS: All surgeries were completed successfully. The average surgery time of the conventional group, air group and BSS group were 63.17±13.22, 61.65±15.55 and 57.30±11.70 min, respectively. There had no significant difference among these groups(F=0.825, P=0.443). On the first post-operative day, the average IOP of the conventional group, air group and BSS group were 13.69±2.69, 16.40±2.86 and 18.35±2.88 mmHg, respectively. The average IOP of the air group and the BSS group were significant higher than that of the conventional group(F=17.18, P<0.001). Primary reattachment rates were 88%, 96%, and 100%, respectively. The postoperative BCVA was 0.71±0.42, 0.59±0.44, and 0.91±0.50, respectively, which were significantly higher than those before operation(all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among groups(F=3.046, P>0.05). The main complications included subretinal hemorrhage in 1 eye from the conventional group and 1 eye from the air group, and a new retinal tear in 1 eye from the air group, resulting in localized retinal detachment.CONCLUSIONS: For SBRD patients with hypotony during SB surgery, intravitreal injection of BSS to properly increase the IOP and then complete the surgery can improve the reattachment rate and reduce postoperative complications. This method is safe and effective for selected SBRD patients.
