Childhood cataract is a disease that affects the development of children's vision. It is divided into infants and adolescents according to the age of onset. Surgery is the main treatment, but the vision after surgery is difficult to reach the level of healthy children. Macular dysplasia is an important factor affecting postoperative visual acuity. In recent years, with the development of optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography, more and more research has been done on macular development of children's cataract. The retinal structure in the macular area of children with cataract is abnormal, and the early inflammatory reaction after surgery can also lead to structural changes. In addition, insufficient blood supply to the macular area may affect retinal structure and function. The mechanism by which childhood cataract affects macular structure is still unclear and needs further study. Understanding the relationship between macular structure and vision prognosis is helpful to develop more effective treatment and improve the vision prognosis of children.

The imaging features of intracranial melanoma are similar to those of other intracranial tumors, and a definite diagnosis often cannot be made solely based on imaging examinations. Although molecular pathology can detect gene mutations and protein markers of intracranial melanoma, its diagnostic specificity is limited due to the cross-expression of markers. Studies have shown that the combined application of imaging and molecular pathology can obviously improve the diagnosis sensitivity and specificity of intracranial melanoma, and by integrating the morphological and molecular characteristics of the melanoma, this combined application can optimize individualized treatment strategies and play important roles in surgical planning, targeted therapy selection, and therapeutic efficacy detection. This article reviews the research progress on the synergistic role of imaging and molecular pathology in the diagnosis and targeted therapy of intracranial melanoma, with the aim of providing a reference for diagnosis and treatment of intracranial melanoma.

Objective To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of 16 cephalosporin antibiotics of the fourth generation in whole blood by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS),including representative drugs such as cefalexin,cefuroxime axetil,cefetamet pivoxil,ceftizoxime,cefodizime,cefteram pivoxil,cefpodoxime proxetil,cefditoren pivoxil,cefminox sodium,cefoperazone,cefpirome,cefoxitin,cefamandole nafate,cefquinome sulfate,cefpiramide,and ceftiofur.Methods Whole blood was pretreated with acetonitrile for protein precipitation and then determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.The liquid phase used a Hypersil GOLD? C18 column(2.1 mm ×100 mm,1.9 μm).The organic phase was 0.1％formic acid methanol solution,and the aqueous phase was 0.1％formic acid aqueous solution(containing 10 mmol/mL ammonium formate)for gradient elution.Detection was performed in electrospray positive ionization mode with selected reaction monitoring(SRM).Results The 16 drugs showed good linearity within their respective concentration ranges,with R2 values all greater than 0.99.Limits of detection for cefminox sodium and cefpiramide were 50 and 20 ng/mL,respectively,and for the remaining 14 drugs were all lower than 5 ng/mL.The relative standard deviations(RSDs)of intra-day and inter-day precisions at four spiked concentrations for the 16 drugs were all no higher than 10％(n=5).Accuracy ranged within±15％for mosg drugs,except for cefamandole nafate,ceftiofur,and cefetamet pivoxil at the lower limit of quantification,which showed accuracy within±20％.Extraction recoveries exceeded 80％for all compounds.Conclusion This method has high detection sensitivity,rapid speed,and good repeatability for the simultaneously determination of 16 cephalosporin antibiotics in whole blood.

Primary atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) in the spinal canal are rare central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms that are challenging to diagnose and treat. To date, there has been no standard treatment regimen for these challenging malignant tumors. Thus, we conducted this research to explore potential prognostic factors and feasible treatment modalities for improving the prognosis of these tumors. Articles were retrieved from the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, using the keywords “atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor,” “rhabdoid tumor,” “spine,” “spinal,” “spinal neoplasm”, and “spinal cord neoplasm.” All eligible cases demonstrated SMARCB1-deficient expression validated by pathological examination. We collected and analyzed data related to clinical presentation, radiological features, pathological characteristics, treatment modalities and prognosis via Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Thirty-six articles comprising 58 spinal AT/RT patients were included in the study. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 18 and 22 months, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated significant survival improvements for OS in the nonmetastasis, male, radiotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy groups as well as for PFS in the chemotherapy and radiotherapy groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that chemotherapy and radiotherapy were prognostic factors for improved PFS, and that intrathecal chemotherapy reduced the risk of mortality. Spinal AT/RTs are uncommon malignant entities with a dismal survival rate. Although our review is limited by variability between cases, there is some evidence revealing potential risk factors and the importance of systematic chemotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy and radiotherapy in spinal AT/RT treatment modalities.

Objective To compare the stability of multi-rod structures with double-headed screws and traditional connectors in posterior three-column osteotomy of the spine using finite element analysis.Methods A finite element model of the T3-L4 thoracolumbar spine was constructed based on postoperative computed tomography(CT)data of patients with severe kyphosis.Based on the patient's standard two-rod model(2R),a double-headed screw multi-rod structure model(4R-DHS)and a traditional connector multi-rod structure model(4R-TC)were constructed.The two models were evaluated under 300 N follower load and 7.5 N-m moment load,and the stability,maximum von Mises stresses on the main rods,and stress distributions of the two multi-rod structures were analyzed.Results There was little difference in the stability between the two multi-rod structures.Compared with 4R-TC,4R-DHS showed a decrease in the maximum von Mises stresses on the main rods during all motions(the stress decreased by 7.2％,8.8％,8.7％,18.5％,and 16.9％during flexion,left lateral bending,right lateral bending,left axial rotation,and right axial rotation,respectively)and more uniform stress distribution,except for a slight increase in the maximum von Mises stresses on the main rods during post-extension.Conclusions The double-headed screw multi-rod structure can reduce the maximum stress on the main rod compared with the traditional connector multi-rod structure,and there is no problem with stress concentration on the main rod near the connector,which can more effectively reduce the risk of internal fixation failure.
