AIM: To analyze changes in the anterior chamber angle structure in patients with implantable collamer lens with central-port(ICL V4c)implantation, and to investigate their associations with preoperative anterior segment anatomical parameters.METHODS: Retrospective case study. Patients with myopia or myopia combined with astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation in the Refractive Surgery Center of the Department of Ophthalmology, the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between July 2024 and November 2024 were recruited. Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle(ACA), white-to-white distance(WTW), anterior chamber depth(ACD), angle to angle distance(ATA), horizontal sulcus-to-sulcus distance(HSTS), vertical sulcus-to-sulcus distance(VSTS),crystalline lens rise(CLR), pupil diameter(PD), iris thickness at 750 μm from the scleral spur(IT750),maximal iris thickness(ITM), iris curvature(I-Curv), and iris cross-sectional area(I-Area), angle opening distance(AOD750), thetrabecular-iris angle(TIA750)and the trabecular-iris space area(TISA750)in the temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior directions,as well as the vault at various postoperative time points were measured.RESULTS: The study involved 40 patients(79 eyes)with myopia or myopia combined with astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation(10 males and 30 females)with the mean age of 24.73±3.79 y. Compared with preoperative measurements, at 1 mo postoperatively, the AOD750, TIA750, and TISA750 parameters at the four angles(temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior)all showed a significant reduction(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences in vault were observed at postoperative 1d(0.49±0.1), postoperative 1 wk(0.43±0.14), and postoperative 1 mo(0.41±0.14)(all P<0.001). Correlation analysis indicated that the postoperative state of the anterior chamber angle was jointly influenced by anterior chamber parameters(ACD, ATA, HSTS、VSTS), iris morphology(I-Area, IT750), pupil size(PD), and surgical factors(ICL size, early vault), and that the combination of influencing factors varied across different orientations. Regression analysis showed that ACD was positively correlated with all postoperative anterior chamber angle parameters(P<0.05). IT750 exhibited negative correlations with the temporal and inferior angles(P<0.05). I-Area was positively correlated with temporal AOD750 and TISA750(P<0.05), and PD had negative correlations with temporal TIA750 and nasal AOD750(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Postoperative anterior chamber angle narrowing is a common phenomenon after ICL V4c implantation. The degree of change exhibits a significant correlation with multiple preoperative anterior segment anatomical parameters. Preoperative comprehensive assessment of ACD, PD, and IT750 may facilitate the evaluation of the risk of postoperative angle changes and the enhancement of surgical safety.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Weiyan Tongluo Granules in treating chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)and explore its potential mechanisms.METHODS From June 2020 to December 2022,100 CAG patients with spleen defi-ciency and blood stasis syndrome were enrolled and randomly divided into a trial group(n=50)and a control group(n=50)using a random number table.The trial group received Weiyan Tongluo Granules plus a folic acid placebo,while the control group received fo-lic acid tablets plus a traditional Chinese medicine granule placebo.The treatment course for both groups was 24 weeks,with 8 and 10 dropouts in the trial and control groups,respectively.Post-treatment comparisons included OLGA/OLGIM staging reversal rates,low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia regression rate,SSDPRO-CG(Patient-Reported Outcome Scale for Chronic Gastritis in Spleen-Stomach Diseases)scores,TCM syndrome scores,and safety indicators.Serum levels of PG I,PGⅡ,PGR,and G-17 were measured via ELISA before and after treatment.Gastric mucosal p-NF-κB and CDX2 protein expression levels were analyzed by Western blot,while mRNA levels of IL-1β,IL-6,VIL1,and MUC2 were quantified via qPCR.RESULTS After treatment,the trial group showed sig-nificantly higher OLGA and OLGIM stage reversal rates than the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01),though no significant difference was observed in low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia regression.Both groups exhibited significant improvements in physiological domain scores and total SSDPRO-CG scores(P<0.01),with the trial group outperforming the control group in physiological,independence,psychological domains,and total scores(P<0.05,P<0.01).TCM syndrome scores(total and sub-items:gastric distension,pain,poor appetite,bloating)decreased significantly in both groups(P<0.01),while the trial group showed greater reductions in loose stools and dull complexion(P<0.01).After-treatment,the trial group had significantly lower TCM syndrome scores than the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Serum PG I,PGⅡ,PGR,G-17,gastric mucosal p-NF-κB,CDX2,and IL-1β,IL-6,VIL1,MUC2 mRNA levels improved significantly in the trial group(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the control group improved only in PGⅡ(P<0.05,P<0.01).The trial group's improvements in these biomarkers surpassed the control group's(P<0.05,P<0.01).No treatment-related adverse events occurred in either group.CONCLUSION Weiyan Tongluo Granules ameliorate gastric mucosal pathology,clinical symptoms,psychological state,and quality of life in CAG patients without significant adverse effects.Its mechanism may involve sup-pressing the NF-κB pathway to reduce IL-1β and IL-6 expression,downregulating CDX2 to inhibit VIL1 and MUC2 transcription,thereby reversing the vicious cycle of inflammation-intestinal metaplasia.

Objective To explore the effect and possible mechanism of berberine on the macro-phage polarization of human myeloid leukemia monocytic cell line THP-1 induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).Methods THP-1 cells were induced into macrophages by PMA,and then according to different concentrations of berberine,the cells were divided into con-trol group,and 5,10,20,40 and 50 μmol/L berberine groups.After intervention for 24 or 48 h,CCK8 assay was used to detect cell viability for optimal concentration and time of berberine treat-ment.PMA-induced THP-1 macrophages were assigned into blank group,model group(ox-LDL),berberine group,inhibitor group(phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase(PI3K)inhibitor LY294002)and berberine+inhibitor group(berberine+LY294002).The contents of inducible nitric oxide syn-thase(iNOS)and TGF-β1 were detected by ELISA.qPCR was employed to measure the mRNA expression of TNF-α,arginase 1(Arg1),PI3K and protein kinase B Akt1,and Western blotting was applied to detect the protein levels of Akt1 and phosphorylated protein kinase B antibody(p-Akt1).Results In 24 h after intervention,the macrophage activity was significantly lower in the 40 and 50 μmol/L berberine groups than the control group(P＜0.05),and after 48 h,the ac-tivity in all the 5 doses of berberine groups was obviously lower than that in the control group[(0.89±0.02)％,(0.82±0.03)％,(0.71±0.02)％,(0.62±0.03)％and(0.53±0.02)％vs(1.01±0.01)％,P＜0.05].Berberine treatment of 20 μmol/L for 24 h had little effect on cell viability,and the dose and the time were regarded as the best concentration and time.Compared with the blank group,iNOS content and TNF-α mRNA level were increased in the model group,while TGF-β1 content,mRNA levels of Arg1,PI3K and Akt1,and p-Akt1/Akt1 protein levels were de-creased(P＜0.05).iNOS content and TNF-α mRNA level were decreased,while TGF-β1 content,mRNA levels of Arg1,PI3K and Akt1 and protein levels of p-Akt1/Akt1s were increased in the berberine group than the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the berberine group,iNOS con-tent and TNF-α mRNA level were increased,while mRNA levels of Arg1,PI3K and Akt1 and protein levels of p-Akt1/Akt1 were decreased in the berberine+inhibitor group(P＜0.05).Con-clusion Berberine can inhibit the inflammatory response of THP-1 macrophages induced by ox-LDL by activating PI3K/Akt1 pathway,and inhibit the M1 polarization and promote the M2 polarization of macrophages.

Objective:To provide an effective protection method for reducing the ankle injury during airborne force landing by investigating the protective effect of a protective ankle brace (PAB).Methods:Airborne soldiers were selected as subjects and they were asked to jump from 1.5 m and 2 m high training platform with and without PAB protection. They maintained a standard bending and knee-bending posture as they touched the buffer surface of the training ground. Each subject completed 4 simulated landing trials: from 1.5 m with PAB (1.5 m PAB group), from 2 m with PAB (2 m PAB group), from 1.5 m without PAB (1.5 m control group), and from 2 m without PAB (2 m control group). The muscle electrical signals of bilateral tibialis anterior, peroneal longus and brevis and gastrocnemius were recorded by surface electromyography, and the percentage of maximal voluntary electrical activation (MVE%) was calculated and analyzed.Results:Sixty-one subjects were included. At the same height with different ankle protection status, the MVE% values of bilateral tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius in the 1.5 m PAB group were lower than those in the 1.5 m control group, and the differences were significant ( t=2.45, 2.74, 2.35, P=0.017, 0.008, 0.022). The MVE% values of bilateral peroneus longus and brevis in the 1.5 m PAB group were higher than those in the 1.5 m control group, and the differences were significant ( t=5.28, 4.56, both P<0.001). The MVE% values of left tibialis anterior and left gastrocnemius in the 2 m PAB group were lower than those in the 2 m control group, and the differences were significant ( t=2.21, 0.53, 4.35, P=0.031, 0.598, <0.001). The MVE% values of bilateral peroneus longus and brevis in the 2 m PAB group were higher than those in the 2 m control group, and the differences were significant ( t=4.92, 6.31, both P<0.001). With the ankle protection the MVE% values of bilateral tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, peroneus longus and brevis in the 1.5 m PAB group were lower than those in the 2 m PAB group, and the differences were significant ( t=3.56-4.94, all P≤0.001). The MVE% values of bilateral tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, peroneus longus and brevis in the 1.5 m control group were lower than those in the 2 m PAB group, and the differences were significant ( t=2.30-5.85, all P<0.05). Conclusions:PAB can reduce the ankle injury during airborne force landing and provide good protection.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the application effect of somatosensory interactive games in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to provide a basis for clinical application.Methods:Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on the application of somatosensory interactive games in patients with COPD were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang, China Knowledge Network and VIP. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to October 2022. RevMan5.2 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:Ten articles involving 611 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the somatosensory interactive game group was superior to the conventional training group in improving FEV 1/FVC% ( WMD=6.83, 95% CI 3.71-9.95, Z=4.29, P<0.01), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) ( WMD=13.36, 95% CI 0.50-26.23, Z=2.04, P<0.05), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( WMD=-1.64, 95% CI -2.31--0.97, Z=4.78, P<0.01), COPD Assessment Test score ( WMD=-2.95, 95%CI -4.08--1.82, Z=5.13, P<0.01) in COPD patients. However, there was no significant difference in FEV1 % ( WMD=2.91, 95% CI -1.61-7.43, P=0.210) and dyspnea ( SMD=0.63,95% CI -0.24-1.49, P=0.150) between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with conventional training, somatosensory interactive game training can effectively improve lung function and quality of life in patients with COPD, relieve anxiety and depression. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included literature, the reliability of the conclusions still needs to be verified by more high-quality studies.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Shenfu yixin granule on mitochondrial autophagy of cardiomyocytes in rats with heart failure after acute myocardial infarction. METHODS The model of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction was established by ligaturing the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery in rats. The model rats were divided into model group，Shenfu yixin granule low-dose and high-dose groups （1.76，8.8 g/kg），Fosinopril sodium tablets group （positive control ，4 mg/kg），sham operation group was set up （only threading without ligation at the same position ），with 8 rats in each group. After 4 weeks of drug intervention ，the hemodynamic indexes of rats in each group were measured by physiological recorder. The pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed in each group. The level of oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes ， mitochondrial membrane potential ，protein expression of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1（PINK1），E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin and ubiquitin binding protein P 62 in myocardial tissue of rats in each group were detected. RESULTS Compared with sham operation group ，the pathological injuries such as myocardial fiber morphology disorder and inflammatory cell infiltration were serious. The left ventricular end systolic pressure （LVESP），maximum rate of rise of left ventricular internal pressure （+dp/dtmax）， maximun rate of decrease of left ventricular internal pressure （－dp/dtmax），total antioxidant capacity ，mitochondrial membrane potential，PINK1，Parkin and P 62 protein expression were significantly decreased in model group （P＜0.01）. The left ventricular end diastolic pressure （LVEDP），the level of reactive oxygen species and the activity of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in left ventricular ischemic cardiomyocytes were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，the pathological injuries of myocardial tissue in intervention groups were alleviated ，and above indexes were improved in varying degrees（P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Shenfu y ixin granule can reduce the level of oxidative stress and alleviate heart failure after acute myocardial infarction ，which may be related to the activation of Parkin-dependent pathway to strengthen mitochondrial autophagy and reduce mitochondrial dysfunction.
