AIM: To evaluate safety, efficacy, visual quality, and patient satisfaction after optimized monovision Q-value-customized femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)for myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled patients suffering myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. At 1 y post operation, uncorrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity(UDVA, UIVA, UNVA), refraction, corneal higher order aberrations(HOAs), Q value, objective visual quality, and near stereoacuity were evaluated. The impact of surgery on patients' living quality and their satisfaction were evaluated based on National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument(NEI RQL)scores at 1-year follow-up.RESULTS:The study enrolled 36 patients(72 eyes)including 12 males(33%)and 24 females(67%)with an average age of 46.03±3.60(range 40-53)y. One year postoperatively, 97% of patients achieved binocular UDVA of 1.0 or better, 89% achieved UIVA of 0.63 or better, and 97% achieved UNVA of 1.0 or better. The spherical equivalent refraction(SE)in dominant eye within ±1.00 D was 100%. SE in non-dominant eyes was uncorrected compared with the preoperative target correction, with a mean difference of -0.27±0.34 D before and after surgery(P<0.001). while in the non-dominant eyes, the anterior corneal Q-value within the 5 mm zone increased negatively compared with the preoperative value(-0.33±0.24 vs -0.21±0.09, P<0.001). In the non-dominant eye, spherical aberration and longitudinal spherical aberration were lower than preoperative values(both P<0.001). Besides, there were no significant changes in objective scatter index(OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cut off)and Strehl ratio(SR)in both dominant and non-dominant eyes(all P>0.05), and the near stereoacuity was better after surgery(P=0.007). Additionally, the patient satisfaction rate with the surgery was 94%, the satisfaction rates for UDVA and UNVA were both 98%. The 11% of patients required to wear low-diopter glasses when driving at night.CONCLUSION:Optimized monovision Q-value-customised FS-LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for correcting myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. It provides favorable subjective and objective visual quality and high patient satisfaction. The under correction in non-dominant eyes is observed, indicating the further optimization of nomogram is needed.

With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

This study identified 8 members including NjBIN2 of the GSK3 family in Nardostachys jatamansi by bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, the phylogenetic tree revealed that the GKS3 family members of N. jatamansi had a close relationship with those of Arabidopsis. RT-qPCR results showed that NjBIN2 presented a tissue-specific expression pattern with the highest expression in roots, suggesting that NjBIN2 played a role in root growth and development. In addition, the application of epibrassinolide or the brassinosteroid(BR) synthesis inhibitor(brassinazole) altered the expression pattern of NjBIN2 and influenced the photomorphogenesis(cotyledon opening) and root development of N. jatamansi, which provided direct evidence about the functions of NjBIN2. In conclusion, this study highlights the roles of BIN2 in regulating the growth and development of N. jatamansi by analyzing the expression pattern and biological function of NjBIN2. It not only enriches the understanding about the regulatory mechanism of the growth and development of N. jatamansi but also provides a theoretical basis and potential gene targets for molecular breeding of N. jatamansi with improved quality in the future.

Compared with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry(MALDI-MS)using organic small molecule matrix,surface-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry(SALDI-MS)based on nanomaterial matrix is more effective in analysis of small molecule compounds.Ion sputtering instruments have obvious advantages for applying inorganic nanomatrix.In this work,the carbon-platinum material was sputtered onto a glass cover slip using an ion sputtering instrument to form a carbon-platinum(C-Pt)composite nanomatrix,and an SALDI-MS analytical method was thus established based on the prefabricated C-Pt composite matrix.The experimental results showed that the C-Pt composite nanomatrix could significantly improve the signal intensity and signal-to-noise ratio of the mass spectrum peaks of the components to be measured.The ratio of carbon to platinum,the duration of ion sputtering,and the laser power in mass spectrometer were investigated to select the optimal C-Pt matrix prefabricated conditions and SALDI-MS experimental conditions.Using the prefabricated C-Pt composite matrix,the melittriose and daidzein sample solution were applied as sample to examine repeatability.The results showed that the intra-point repeatability(RSD)was≤4.8%and the inter-point repeatability(RSD)was≤6.4%.The quercetin and melitriose were applied as model samples,and a linearity between MS peak intensity and respective concentration in the range of 0.05-1.0 mg/mL was found,with linear correlation coefficients(R2)greater than 0.994,showing good potential for quantitative and imaging analysis.Then,the prefabricated C-Pt composite matrix was applied to SALDI-MS analysis of the 50%ethanol extract of soybean,and 15 kinds of compounds including oligosaccharides and triglycerides were identified from the mass spectra.Furthermore,the C-Pt matrix was employed in SALDI-MS imaging for the compositions in corn tissue section,and the results showed that diglycerides and triglycerides were mainly distributed in the corn embryo and around the embryo,and the distribution of oligosaccharides was relatively even.
