Objective To investigate factors that affect the treatment effect of laser vitrectomy for vit-reous opacity and the related factors that affect patient satisfaction,so as to evaluate its clinical value.Methods A total of 196 patients with vitreous opacity treated using the Ultra Q ReflexTM Nd:YAG laser system at our hospital between October 2019 and February 2024 were enrolled.Patient medical records and satisfaction questionnaires were analyzed.Investigational data underwent machine-coded classification,and a Python-based decision tree prediction model was employed to identify factors affecting treatment outcomes.Stata18.0 OLS linear regression was used to assess correlations between patient satisfaction and variables such as healthcare provider quality,treatment accessibility,and medical environment.Results After laser vitrectomy,95.3%of patients with vitreous opacity showed significant improvement in symptoms,and 90.3%expressed satisfac-tion with the improvement in postoperative visual quality.Patients'gender,age,preoperative vitreous opacity morphology,and refractive error below-6.00D had an impact on the treatment outcome(P<0.05).Python decision tree analysis demonstrated superior efficacy in patients aged>30-45 years with 6-12 months of symptom duration and refractive error<-6.00D.Stata18.0 OLS linear regression analysis showed that all examined variables were positively correlated at the 1%significance level,with patients'expected feelings having the greatest impact on postoperative satisfaction with treatment(r=1.053).Conclusion Ultra Q Nd:YAG laser vitreous ablation demonstrates high safety and patient satisfaction for vitreous opacity treatment.

Objective To establish a mouse model of bronchiectasis with acute infection and evaluate the immunogenicity and protective effect of a self-assembling Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)nanoparticle vaccine rePO-FN based on fusion of PcrV-OprI(rePO)protein with self-assembling ferritin(Ferritin).Methods ① SPF-grade female C57BL/6 mice(aged 6～8 weeks,weighing 18～20 g)were randomly allocated into normal saline group,and low-,medium-and high-dose elastase groups(n=6).A mouse model of bronchiectasis was established via intratracheal instillation of different doses of elastase(30 μL of normal saline containing 0.65,1.30 and 2.60 IU elastase)for 3 consecutive days.At 14 and 21 d after modeling,ELISA and HE staining were performed respectively to detect the concentration of IL-6 and to observe pathological changes in lung tissue in order to confirm the modeling.② A recombinant plasmid encoding the gene of fusion protein rePO-FN was constructed and expressed in E.coli.The target protein was purified via affinity chromatography and renatured to obtain the desired protein.The physicochemical properties of the rePO-FN protein were characterized using SDS-PAGE protein gel electrophoresis,dynamic light scattering,molecular sieve chromatography,and transmission electron microscopy.③ C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into PBS group,rePO group,rePO-FN group,and Ferritin group(n=10).The mice in the above groups were immunized intramuscularly with 100 μL PBS buffer alone or containing 10 μg of corresponding proteins on days 0,7,and 14.ELISA was used to measure the specific antibodies in serum.In 7 d after the final immunization,an acute PA infection model was used to compare the survival rates and bacterial colonization among the PBS,rePO,and rePO-FN groups.After establishing a bronchiectasis model by intratracheal instillation of 2.60 IU of elastase in C57BL/6J mice as described above,the mice were randomly divided into bronchiectasis PBS group,bronchiectasis rePO group,and bronchiectasis rePO-FN group(n=10).Immunization was conducted at the same dose and procedure as described above,in 21 d after bronchiectasis modeling.At the 7th d after the final immunization,an acute PA infection model was used to compare the survival rates and bacterial colonization among the groups.Results ①Repeated intratracheal instillation of elastase significantly increased the concentration of IL-6 in the lung tissue when compared to the content of the normal saline group(P＜0.05).Pathological observations revealed varying degrees of bronchial wall destruction,alveolar fusion,edema,neutrophil infiltration,and hemorrhage,with the severity increasing with elastase dose,which confirming successful establishment of the mouse model of bronchiectasis.② Well-dispersed rePO-FN nanoparticles were successfully prepared,with an average particle size of 91.28 nm,a Zeta potential of approximately-6.5 mV,and a polydispersity index(PDI)of 0.306.Molecular sieve chromatography determined the elution volume of rePO-FN protein to be 8.80 mL,corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 1 400 kDa.③ Under acute PA XN-1 strain infection,the survival rate of the rePO-FN immunization group and the bronchiectasis rePO-FN immunization group were significantly higher than that of the PBS control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,bacterial colonization in the lung tissues was significantly lower in the rePO-FN immune group and the bronchiectasis rePO-FN immune group under acute PA XN-1 strain infection than that in the rePO group and the bronchiectasis rePO group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Our vaccine rePO-FN can effectively trigger a strong humoral immune response and provide significant protection against PA infection in a mouse bronchiectasis model.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depressive disorder in adolescents is on the rise. There have been studies on the pairwise relations between dysfunctional attitude， negative automatic thoughts， positive coping style and depressive symptoms in the past. However， the impact of the intrinsic relations among dysfunctional attitude， negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style on depressive symptoms is still unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of dysfunctional attitude on adolescent depressive symptoms and examine the action path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style on it， in order to provide references for intervention for adolescent patients with depressisve disorder. MethodsThis study involved 162 adolescent patients with depressive disorder， who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episodes in the International Classification of Diseases， 10th edition （ICD-10） and received treatment in Taiyuan Psychiatric Hospital from October 1， 2022 to October 31， 2023. These patients were evaluated using Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）， Dysfunction Attitude Scale （DAS）， Positive Coping Style Subscale in Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire（SCSQ） and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire （ATQ）. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation among scores of scales above. Model 6 in Process 3.4.1 was adopted to test the acting path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style between dysfunctional attitude and adolescent depression symptoms. ResultsA total of 148 adolescent patients with depressive disorder completed an effective questionnaire survey， with a response rate of 91.36%. The direct effect value of dysfunctional attitude on depressive symptoms was 0.423 and the effect size was 63.32%. Negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style affected as acting path between dysfunctional attitude and depressive symptoms， with effect values of 0.156 （accounting for 23.35% of the total effect） and 0.045 （accounting for 6.74% of the total effect） respectively. Meanwhile， negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style affected as a chain reaction pathway between dysfunctional attitude and depressive symptoms， with an effect value of 0.044， accounting for 6.59% of the total effect. ConclusionDysfunctional attitude can not only directly affect the depressive symptoms of adolescent patients with depressive disorder， but also affect the depressive symptoms of adolescent patients with depressive disorder through the independent path or chain path of negative automatic thoughts and positive coping style.

Allergic conjunctivitis is the most common type of allergic eye disease, and the incidence in children and adolescents is increasing year by year. Drug therapy can only relieve some symptoms and only in a short period, while allergen immunotherapy is currently a therapy that can significantly improve the symptoms of chronic allergy and the course of the disease. This method has been used abroad for many years but has yet to be reported in China. The author reviews the effective mechanism and clinical efficiency of allergen immunotherapy and provides a reference for the further clinical application in China.

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of Huidu Yinhua powder from the Orthodox Manual of External Medicine on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),virulence factor α-hemolysin(Hla)activity,and biofilm formation,and to explore the optimal ratios of Huidu Yinhua powder and provide experimental support for its use.Methods The inhibitory effects of Huidu Yinhua powder and the herbs in the formula on USA300 were analyzed by the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC),minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC),and disk diffusion assay(K-B method).Hemolysis,neutralization,oligomerization,and Western blot assays were used to verify in which form the drug inhibits the activity of virulence factor α-hemolysin(Hla).A biofilm assay was performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Huidu Yinhua powder on biofilm.Orthogonal experiments were performed to explore the optimal ratio of Huidu Yinhua powder.Results Huidu Yinhua powder inhibited the MRSA strain with a MIC90 of 64 mg/mL and an MBC of 256 mg/mL with antibacterial circle diameter of(7.50±0.50)mm.Huidu Yinhua powder inhibited Hla activity by inhibiting Hla secretion.The minimum effective concentration(MEC)was 16 mg/mL,and the MEC of biofilm was 8 mg/mL.In Huidu Yinhua powder,honeysuckle and astragalus only affected the hemolytic activity of MRSA and biofilm formation without inhibiting bacterial growth.The hemolytic activity and biofilm of MEC were both 32 mg/mL.Glycyrrhiza had a strong bacterial inhibitory capacity with a MIC90 of 8 mg/mL and biofilm MEC of 1 mg/mL without showing inhibitory hemolytic activity at subinhibitory concentrations.The orthogonal experiment showed that,at a ratio of honeysuckle,astragalus,and glycyrrhiza in Huidu Yinhua powder of 1∶2∶4,the MIC90 was 16 mg/mL,MEC of hemolytic activity was 8 mg/mL and that of biofilm was 4 mg/mL,both of which were the lowest among the nine groups.Conclusions Huidu Yinhua powder affects the hemolytic activity and biofilm formation of MRSA at subinhibitory concentrations with the optimal ratio of honeysuckle,astragalus,and glycyrrhiza being 1∶2∶4.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and mechanisms of cycloartenol on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.METHODS In vitro experiments,primary cardiomyocytes were extracted from 1-3 days SD mice.The hypoxia/reoxygenation model was established by incubating cells in a hypoxic culture box for 3 hours followed by reoxygenation in a normal culture box for 3 hours.The primary cardiomyocytes were divided into Control group,H/R group,low-dose(3 μmol·L-1)and high-dose(10 μmol·L-1)cycloartenol groups,and SB203580 group.CCK-8 was used to detect cell viability,the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry,and Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK in each group.In an in vi-vo experiment,7-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a Control group,an I/R group,and three doses of cyclo-artenol(0.2,0.5,1.0 mg·kg-1)groups.The mice were continuously administered for seven days before the surgery.The model was prepared by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD)for 30 minutes,followed by reperfusion for 24 hours to in-duce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac output(CO),left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS)of each group of mice were detected by small animal ultrasound.TTC staining was used to detect the changes of is-chemic infarct size in each group.The changes of myocardial tissue in each group were observed by HE staining.The expression levels of p38 MAPK,p-p38 MAPK,IL-6 and TNF-α in myocardial tissue of mice were detected by Western blot.Serum levels of creatine ki-nase isoenzyme(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),interleukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α)were measured using ELISA kits.RESULTS In vitro experiments demonstrated that compared with the H/R group,both the cycloartenol and SB203580 pretreatment groups showed a significant increase in myocardial cell viability and the apoptosis rate decrease,which can downregulate the protein expression level of p-p38 MAPK and decrease the ratio of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK(P<0.05).In vivo experiments confirmed that compared with the I/R group,cycloartenol pretreatment significantly improved LVEF,LVFS,and CO values(P<0.05),reduce myocardial ischemic infarct size,thereby enhancing myocardial function.The protein ex-pression level of p-p38 MAPK in myocardial tissue was down-regulated,the ratio of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK was decreased,and the expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased.Additionally,cycloartenol pretreatment reduced the levels of CK-MB,LDH,cT-nI,IL-6,and TNF-α in mouse serum(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Pre-treatment with cycloartenol can protect mouse cardiac func-tion and alleviate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.Its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of p38 MAPK phos-phorylation,reducing inflammatory reactions.

Objective This study investigated the epidemic characteristics and spatio-temporal dynamics of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Qingdao City,China. Methods Information was collected on HFRS cases in Qingdao City from 2010 to 2022. Descriptive epidemiologic,seasonal decomposition,spatial autocorrelation,and spatio-temporal cluster analyses were performed. Results A total of 2,220 patients with HFRS were reported over the study period,with an average annual incidence of 1.89/100,000 and a case fatality rate of 2.52％. The male:female ratio was 2.8:1. 75.3％ of patients were aged between 16 and 60 years old,75.3％ of patients were farmers,and 11.6％ had both "three red" and "three pain" symptoms. The HFRS epidemic showed two-peak seasonality:the primary fall-winter peak and the minor spring peak. The HFRS epidemic presented highly spatially heterogeneous,street/township-level hot spots that were mostly distributed in Huangdao,Pingdu,and Jiaozhou. The spatio-temporal cluster analysis revealed three cluster areas in Qingdao City that were located in the south of Huangdao District during the fall-winter peak. Conclusion The distribution of HFRS in Qingdao exhibited periodic,seasonal,and regional characteristics,with high spatial clustering heterogeneity. The typical symptoms of "three red" and"three pain" in patients with HFRS were not obvious.

Objective To investigate the drug resistance and virulence genes of Staphylococcus aureus iso-lated from clinical specimens of hospitals in northwest Hubei province.Methods A total of 142 clinical iso-lates of Staphylococcus aureus were collected from 5 hospitals in Shiyan City from 2019 to 2021.Broth mi-crodilution method was used to detect drug resistance,and PCR method was used to detect 9 enterotoxin genes such as sea,mecA and Panton-Valentine leukocidein(PVL)virulence genes.Results A total of 44 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)strains were detected in 142 strains of Staphylococcus aureus,and the detection rate was 30.99％(44/142).The resistance rates of MRSA to erythromycin,clindamycin,levo-floxacin,tetracycline and gentamicin were higher than those of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA),and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The detection rate of enterotoxin genes was 70.42％(100/142),among which the detection rates of classic enterotoxin genes(sea-see)and new ente-rotoxin genes(seg-sej)were 47.18％(67/142)and 42.25％(60/142),respectively.The detection rate of PVL virulence genes was 13.38％(19/142),among which the detection rates of MSSA and MRSA were 9.18％(9/98)and 22.73％(10/44),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The detection rate of enterotoxin and PVL gene of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical isolates is high.In clinical di-agnosis and treatment,it is necessary to control hospital infection,take effective isolation measures in time and strengthen the monitoring of PVL gene.
