AIM: To evaluate the postoperative clinical efficacy of non-diffractive extended depth of focus intraocular lens(EDOF IOL)in patients with highly myopic cataract(HMC).METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients diagnosed with HMC at the hospital from January 2022 to December 2024. Patients were divided into an observation group [undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(FLACS)combined with non-diffractive EDOF IOL implantation] and a control group(undergoing FLACS combined with aspheric monofocal IOL implantation)according to the type of implanted IOL. Postoperative visual acuity(LogMAR), visual quality, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: A total of 33 patients(47 eyes)were finally included in this study, including 10 patients(17 eyes)in the observation group and 23 patients(30 eyes)in the control group. The observation group had a median age of 59.0(52.8, 63.8)y, with 8 males(13 eyes)and 2 females(4 eyes). The control group had a median age of 56.0(53.5, 60.0)y, with 13 males(17 eyes)and 10 females(13 eyes). At 3 mo postoperatively, the best-corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA)was 0.10(0.08, 0.12)in the observation group and 0.20(0.10, 0.40)in the control group(P=0.586). However, the best-corrected intermediate visual acuity(BCIVA)[0.10(0.10, 0.10)vs 0.50(0.40, 0.90), P=0.032] and best-corrected near visual acuity(BCNVA)[0.20(0.18, 0.20)vs 0.60(0.45, 1.45), P=0.044] in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group. The defocus curve showed that the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)in the observation group was relatively stable within the range of -2.00 to +1.00 D, which was superior to that in the control group. Postoperative questionnaires showed that the spectacle independence rate(76%)and overall satisfaction(88%)in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(10% and 60%, respectively).CONCLUSION: Non-diffractive EDOF IOL significantly improves intermediate and near visual acuity, reduces spectacle dependence, and maintains distance visual acuity by extending the depth of focus, providing better postoperative visual quality and life satisfaction for HMC patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy （ICP） and its association with perinatal outcomes， and to provide a basis for precise treatment based on TCM syndrome differentiation. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 275 patients with ICP who were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2023 to April 2025. A hierarchical cluster analysis was used to summarize TCM syndromes. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the clinical features significantly associated with TCM syndrome. ResultsThe cluster analysis identified three core TCM syndromes among the 275 patients with ICP， i.e.， liver-gallbladder damp-heat syndrome （45.8%）， syndrome of blood deficiency generating wind （30.9%）， and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome （23.3%）. There was a significant difference in the distribution of TCM syndromes between different groups stratified by maternal age at delivery， parity， history of ICP recurrence， gestational weeks at disease onset， total bile acid （TBA）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， and comorbidity with gestational diabetes mellitus （GDM） （all P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that<34 gestational weeks at disease onset was significantly associated with all three syndromes （damp-heat： odds ratio ［OR］=3.769， P<0.001； blood deficiency： OR=4.031， P<0.001； liver stagnation： OR=3.552， P<0.001）. Liver-gallbladder damp-heat syndrome was associated with maternal age ≥35 years at disease onset （OR=2.048， P=0.014）， parity ≥2 times （OR=1.921， P=0.034）， history of ICP recurrence （OR=2.404， P=0.030）， ALT ≥200 U/L （OR=2.051， P=0.018）， comorbidity with GDM （OR=1.944， P=0.029）， and TBA ≥40 μmol/L （OR=2.542， P=0.024）. The syndrome of blood deficiency generating wind syndrome was associated with maternal age ≥35 years （OR=2.939， P=0.003）， parity ≥2 time （OR=3.222， P=0.003）， history of ICP recurrence （OR=3.809， P=0.010）， ALT ≥200 U/L （OR=2.889， P=0.006）， comorbidity with GDM （OR=3.711， P=0.001）， and comorbidity with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy （OR=4.472， P=0.011）. Liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome was associated with TBA ≥40 μmol/L （OR=2.995， P=0.044）. The analysis of perinatal outcomes showed that there were significant differences in mode of delivery， gestational weeks at the time of delivery， postpartum blood loss， and neonatal birth weight between the three groups with different TCM syndromes （all P<0.05）. ConclusionLiver-gallbladder damp-heat syndrome， syndrome of blood deficiency generating wind， and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome are the main TCM syndrome types in ICP， and the distribution of TCM syndromes is closely associated with clinical factors and perinatal outcomes， which provides a basis for precise TCM syndrome differentiation and individualized treatment.

Objective To analyze the application value of Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy combined with high-frequency chest wall oscillation sputum expulsion in children with severe pneumonia,and provide theoretical reference for the formulation of treatment plans for severe pneumonia.Methods From April 2022 to April 2023,120 children with severe pneumonia were selected from the Children's Respiratory Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.According to different treatment plans,the children were divided into traditional airway clearance group,Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group,high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group,and Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy combined with high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group,with 30 cases in each group.The duration of pneumonia symptom remission and hospitalization,as well as the difference of pulmonary function index and inflammatory factors before and after treatment were compared.Results Compared with traditional airway clearance group,Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group,high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group,the disappearance time of pulmonary rales,the recovery time of body temperature,the time of cough relief and the length of stay of children in the Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy combined with high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group were significantly shortened[the disappearance time of pulmonary rales(days):4.85±0.78 vs.8.47±2.36,5.22±2.12,5.38±1.56,the recovery time of body temperature(days):3.51±1.04 vs.7.84±2.34,4.45±1.92,4.76±1.59,the time of cough relief(days):7.45±2.15 vs.13.59±4.08,8.88±3.35,8.72±2.59,the length of stay(days):3.78±0.63 vs.8.29±2.07,5.02±1.44,4.96±1.25,all P<0.05].The disappearance time of pulmonary rales,the recovery time of body temperature,the time of cough relief,and the length of stay in Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group and high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group were shorter than those in traditional airway clearance group(all P<0.05).Forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC)and FEV1/FVC after treatment were significantly higher than before treatment,and the inflammatory factors tumor necrosis fact-α(TNF-α),hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and white blood cell count(WBC)were significantly lower than before treatment.After treatment,FEV1,FCV and FEV1/FVC in the Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy combined with high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group were significantly higher than those in the traditional airway clearance group,Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group and high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group[FEV1(L):3.65±1.33 vs.2.28±0.45,2.94±0.63,2.99±0.72,FVC(L):4.56±1.84 vs.2.94±0.83,3.46±1.28,3.65±1.34,FEV1/FVC:(72.36±8.84)％ vs.(59.84±4.05)％,(62.35±5.22)％,(64.59±5.58)％,all P<0.05].The pulmonary function indexes of children in Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group and high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group were higher than those in traditional airway clearance group(all P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of serum inflammatory factors in the Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy combined with high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group were significantly lower than those in the traditional airway clearance group,Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group,high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group[TNF-α(ng/L):14.62±4.55 vs.29.44±6.13,18.09±5.33,17.52±4.42,hs-CRP(mg/L):21.41±3.65 vs.48.67±8.39,40.24±6.42,37.24±5.12,WBC(×109/L):13.42±3.67 vs.19.29±6.45,15.43±5.34,14.22±4.14,all P<0.05],the serum inflammatory factor indexes of Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy group,high-frequency chest wall oscillation treatment group were lower than those of traditional airway clearance group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Acapella positive expiratory pressure therapy combined with high-frequency chest wall oscillation sputum expulsion is effective in the treatment of severe pneumonia in children,which can shorten the time of sputum improvement and hospital stay,reduce the level of inflammatory factors,improve the pulmonary function of the children,and promote the rehabilitation process of the children.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value and related factors of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in patients with heart failure.Methods:A total of 877 consecutive patients who were admitted to heart failure care unit of Fuwai hospital and diagnosed as heart failure from July 2015 to July 2017 were enrolled in this study. Baseline serum H-FABP concentration was measured by fluorescence lateral flow immunoassay. According to serum H-FABP levels, patients were divided into three groups: low H-FABP group (H-FABP≤4.04 ng/ml, n=292), middle H-FABP group (H-FABP 4.04-7.02 ng/ml, n=292) and high H-FABP group (H-FABP≥7.02 ng/ml, n=293). The general clinical characteristics were collected and compared among the three groups. According to whether heart failure was caused by coronary artery disease or not, patients with heart failure were divided into ischemic heart failure and non-ischemic heart failure. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors of H-FABP. The primary endpoint events were the composite of all-cause death or heart transplantation. Multivariate Cox regression analyses, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, risk prediction tests with multivariate Cox regression model and Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between H-FABP and the prognosis of heart failure. Results:Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, coronary artery disease, alanine aminotransferase, uric acid and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were positively associated with H-FABP (β=0.012, 0.238, 0.001, 0.345 and 0.063 respectively,all P<0.05), while female, hemoglobin, albumin, sodium, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were negatively associated with H-FABP (β=-0.184, -0.006, -0.016, -0.034 and -0.006 respectively, all P<0.05). One hundred and nineteen patients (13.6%) lost to follow-up, and 246 patients (32.5%) suffered from all-cause death or heart transplantation during the median follow-up duration of 931 (412-1 185) days. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline H-FABP (log 2H-FABP) level was the independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure ( HR=1.39, P<0.001). ROC curves showed that baseline H-FABP was a predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure within 3 months, 1 year and 2 years (areas under the curves were 0.69, 0.69 and 0.71 respectively), and the best cut-off values were 5.85 ng/ml, 6.54 ng/ml and 6.54 ng/ml respectively. Risk prediction test with multivariate Cox regression model showed that baseline H-FABP could provide additional prognostic value in predicting all-cause death or heart transplantation for patients with heart failure on top of basic model and baseline NT-proBNP ( P<0.001). Taking 6.54 ng/ml and trisected levels of H-FABP as cut-off values respectively, Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the survival rates were significantly different among the two or three groups ( P<0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that baseline H-FABP (log 2H-FABP) level was an independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with ischemic heart failure ( HR=1.74, P<0.001), as well as in patients with non-ischemic heart failure ( HR=1.28, P=0.027). Conclusions:Age, sex, coronary artery disease, hemoglobin, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, sodium, eGFR, uric acid and NT-proBNP are associated with H-FABP level. Baseline H-FABP level is an independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure. On top of basic model and baseline NT-proBNP, baseline H-FABP could provide additional prognostic value in predicting adverse events for patients with heart failure.

A 67-year-old female patient took aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg thrice daily orally in order to prevent arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease without doctor′s advice. After 42 days of medication, the patient developed hematochezia, which was progressively aggravated and finally led to severe hemorrhagic anemia (red blood cell count 1.55×10 12/L, hemoglobin 47 g/L) and decreased blood pressure (58/33 mmHg). On the 4th day of bleeding, exploratory laparotomy was performed and colonic hemorrhage was diagnosed. Ligation of the mesenteric artery was performed and the patient′s bleeding stopped. The patient took aspirin by herself at a daily dose exceeding the recommended dose without assessment of benefits and bleeding risks by professional physicians and developed severe lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which led to hospitalization and surgical treatment. It was a grade H medication error.
