Objective:To observe the morphological characteristics of dome-shaped macula (DSM) and macular hole (MH) in high myopia by optical coherence tomography (OCT), to further explore the correlation between DSM and MH.Methods:A retrospective case-control study. From April 2021 to December 2023, 963 eyes of 503 patients with high myopia (myopic diopter ≥6.00 D) in Department of Ophthalmology of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled in the study. The age of patients ranged from 5 to 89 years old, with the mean age of (48.91±16.69) years. Diopter was -6.00 to -26.00 (-10.49±3.15) D. All eyes were examined by OCT. The width and height of DSM, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), inner port diameter and base diameter of MH were measured by software on OCT. According to the OCT image features, DSM was divided into horizontal and vertical oval-shaped DSM, and symmetrical round DSM. According to the presence or absence of DSM, the eyes were divided into DSM group and non-DSM group. Then, the affected eyes with MH were divided into DSM with MH group and non-DSM with MH group. The incidence of DSM, the incidence of MH in the DSM group and the non-DSM group, the inner port diameter of MH, the base diameter of MH, SFCT, and the location of retinoschisis (RS) in the DSM with MH group and the non-DSM with MH group were observed. Independent sample t test or non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the related factors of MH inner port diameter, base diameter and DSM width, height, height/width ratio. Results:Among the 963 eyes, the DSM group and the non-DSM group were 266 (27.6%, 266/963) and 697 (72.4%, 697/963) eyes. Compared with the non-DSM group, patients in the DSM group were older ( Z=-11.302), had higher degree of myopia ( Z=-8.944), thinner SFCT ( Z=-16.244), and higher incidence of MH ( χ2=8.828), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with non-DSM with MH group, the patients in DSM with MH group were older ( t=2.610), higher myopia diopter ( t=3.593), and thinner SFCT ( t=3.505), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of eyes in the epiretinal membrane between the two groups ( χ2=0.119, P=0.730). In the DSM with MH group, RS mostly occurred in the outer retina with a large range, while in the non-DSM with MH group, RS mostly occurred in the outer and inner retina with a small range. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of eyes at different positions of RS between the two groups ( χ2=25.131, P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the inner port and base diameter of MH and the width, height, height/width ratio of DSM ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with high myopia patients without DSM, patients with DSM are older, have more severe myopia and thinner SFCT. In DSM patients with MH, RS often occurs in the outer retina and has a large range. There was no significant association between DSM morphology and MH size.

Objective:To screen broadly neutralizing antibodies in human immunodeficiency virus-1（HIV-1）chronically infected individuals and characterize their molecular features and to provide new strategies for rational vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutics.Methods:A total of 34 treatment-na?ve individuals with chronic HIV-1 infection were enrolled. Plasma antibody binding levels were measured against two HIV-1 envelope proteins. Single antigen-specific memory B cells were sorted from high-binding samples，and antibody variable region genes were amplified by PCR for paired expression. The monoclonal antibodies were evaluated for neutralizing activity using pseudovirus assays，and their structural features were analyzed by integrating AlphaFold 3 prediction with Discovery Studio molecular docking.Results:Plasma samples showed strong binding to DU422-GP140 and BG505-GP140. Eight monoclonal antibodies were isolated from two donors. Among them，antibodies 0919-A4，0919-A9 and 0808-A2 could cross-react with GP140 from HIV-1 subtypes AE，BC and B. The monoclonal antibody 0919-A9 demonstrated potent neutralizing activity against SF162（Tier 1）and CH181（Tier 2）pseudoviruses，with somatic hypermutation rates of 13.27%（heavy chain）and 15.58%（light chain）. Structural modeling revealed its specific targeting of the V1V2 region on GP120.Conclusion:The isolated antibody 0919-A9 effectively neutralizes Tier 2 pseudoviruses. Its high somatic mutation frequency and V1V2-targeting property underlie its neutralizing activity，providing both a promising candidate and mechanistic insights for HIV vaccine development and antibody-based therapeutic strategies.

Objective To investigate the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (caAMR) after kidney transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 61 patients who underwent renal biopsy and were diagnosed with caAMR. The patients were divided into caAMR group (n=41) and caAMR+TCMR group (n=20) based on the presence or absence of concurrent acute T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR). The patients were followed up for 3 years. The value of 24-hour urinary protein and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of biopsy in predicting graft loss was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The independent risk factors affecting caAMR prognosis were analyzed using the LASSO-Cox regression model. The correlation between grouping, outcomes, and Banff scores was compared using Spearman rank correlation matrix analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the renal allograft survival rates of each subgroup. Results The 3-year renal allograft survival rates for the caAMR group and the caAMR+TCMR group were 83% and 79%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting 3-year renal allograft loss was 0.83 ［95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70-0.97］ for eGFR and 0.78 (95% CI 0.61-0.96) for 24-hour urinary protein at the time of biopsy. LASSO-Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that eGFR≤25.23 mL/(min·1.73 m²) and the presence of donor-specific antibody (DSA) against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I might be independent risk factors affecting renal allograft prognosis, with hazard ratios of 7.67 (95% CI 2.18-27.02) and 5.13 (95% CI 1.33-19.80), respectively. A strong correlation was found between the Banff chronic lesion indicators of renal interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (P<0.05). Conclusions The presence of HLA class I DSA and eGFR≤25.23 mL/(min·1.73 m²) at the time of biopsy may be independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of caAMR.
