AIM: To compare the effectiveness of foldable capsular body(FCB)with traditional scleral buckling(SB)in the treatment of experimental retinal detachment animal models.METHODS: After successfully establishing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)animal models, 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(RRD models group, SB group, and FCB group), with 8 rabbits in each group. The FCB and SB groups underwent SB and FCB surgeries for the RRD animal models, while the RRD models group only consists of RRD models without any surgical intervention during the follow-up period. The follow-up duration was 3 mo. Wide-field neonatal fundus imaging system and ophthalmic B-ultrasound were used to assess the fundus conditions before and after surgery. The Icare® TONOVET Plus tonometer was utilized to evaluate intraocular pressure changes before and after surgery. The Eaton and Draize scoring systems were selected to monitor postoperative inflammatory reactions.RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rates in the FCB and SB groups were 87.5% and 75.0%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in both the FCB and SB groups increased postoperatively compared to preoperative levels(P<0.01), and there were no significant differences in intraocular pressure at any time points during the follow-up period between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in the RRD models group remained at a low level throughout the follow-up period. The average surgical time for the FCB group was 16.87±2.29 min, which was shorter than 46.25±4.74 min in the SB group(t=-15.166, P<0.001). According to the Eaton and Draize scoring systems, the FCB group had lower grades of conjunctival hyperemia and edema in the early postoperative period compared to the SB group, indicating milder inflammatory reactions(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both FCB and SB are effective in treating experimental RRD. Compared to SB, FCB is simpler to operate, and also has a shorter surgical time and milder postoperative inflammatory reactions.

Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2025;45(11):979-984
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host responses to infection and remains a leading cause of mortality in intensive care unit(ICU). In China,the incidence and mortality rate of sepsis are relatively high,with children and the elderly being more susceptible. The pathogenesis of sepsis is complex,primarily involving gram-negative bacteria and multidrug-resistant strains. Traditional blood culture,regarded as the "gold standard" for diagnosis,has limitations in terms of sensitivity and time consumption,whereas next-generation sequencing technology,characterized by its rapidity and high sensitivity,shows potential value in pathogen detection and treatment optimization. To effectively reduce the disease burden of sepsis in China,future research should focus on elucidating the immunological mechanisms of sepsis and developing precise strategies for classification and personalized treatment. Additionally,enhancing healthcare resource allocation and ICU accessibility are also crucial. This article summarizes the epidemiological characteristics of sepsis and systematically reviews the advances in pathogen diagnostic techniques and stratified treatment for sepsis,aiming to provide a reference for the precision diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is considered a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). As a key brain region involved in emotional regulation and stress responses, the amygdala has been implicated in the pathogenesis of PMS/PMDD. The amygdala is composed of multiple subregions, each playing distinct roles in emotion, memory, and stress responses, and forms complex brain areas. Summarizing the interconnections among amygdala, subregions and their connectivity with external areas, and exploringt the neuroimaging characteristics of the amygdala, as well as changes in its neural circuits and brain networks in these patients, will help provide a theoretical foundation for targeted modulation of amygdala function in the treatment of PMS/PMDD.

Persistent and maladaptive drug-related memories represent a key component in drug addiction. Converging evidence from both preclinical and clinical studies has demonstrated the potential efficacy of the memory reconsolidation updating procedure (MRUP), a non-pharmacological strategy intertwining two distinct memory processes: reconsolidation and extinction-alternatively termed "the memory retrieval-extinction procedure". This procedure presents a promising approach to attenuate, if not erase, entrenched drug memories and prevent relapse. The present review delineates the applications, molecular underpinnings, and operational boundaries of MRUP in the context of various forms of substance dependence. Furthermore, we critically examine the methodological limitations of MRUP, postulating potential refinement to optimize its therapeutic efficacy. In addition, we also look at the potential integration of MRUP and neurostimulation treatments in the domain of substance addiction. Overall, existing studies underscore the significant potential of MRUP, suggesting that interventions predicated on it could herald a promising avenue to enhance clinical outcomes in substance addiction therapy.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory virus infections in Sichuan from 2017 to 2023, and investigate the changes in detection rates of various viruses in different periods and age groups.Methods:The study included 41 516 patients with acute respiratory infections. Clinical laboratory results of these patients were retrospectively collected to calculate the detection rates of various viruses. The epidemiological characteristics of respiratory virus infections before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of mixed infections, and the detection rates in different seasons and age groups were analyzed.Results:The overall detection rate of respiratory viruses was 23.35% (9 696/41 516), with influenza A virus (8.47%, 3 515/41 516), rhinovirus (7.13%, 2 961/41 516), and influenza B virus (2.04%, 846/41 516) being the most prevalent. The highest detection rate was observed in children aged 0-14 years (48.62%, 1 429/2 939), while the detection rates in young, middle-aged, and elderly individuals were similar [21.00% (1 482/7 057), 22.06% (3 828/17 350), 20.33% (2 685/13 205)]. The detection rate of influenza A virus dropped to 1.35% (253/18 717) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and rebounded to 13.05% (1 560/11 953) after the pandemic. A similar pattern was observed in other viruses such as human metapneumovirus, influenza B virus, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus, with significant reductions during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent increases that even exceeded pre-pandemic levels. The detection rates of adenovirus, bocavirus, and rhinovirus gradually decreased over time, while the prevalence of parainfluenza virus remained stable, indicating a less significant impact of COVID-19 on these viruses. Higher detection rates were observed in autumn (28.90%, 2 324/8 041) and winter (26.52%, 4 093/15 433) as compared to that in spring (17.61%, 1 848/10 494) and summer (18.96%, 1 431/7 548), suggesting significant seasonal impacts on virus detection rates ( P<0.001). This study identified 8 666 cases of single-virus infections, 948 double infections, 77 triple infections, and five quadruple infections. Co-infection of bocavirus and rhinovirus was the most common type of double infections (17.41%, 165/948), and 59.60% (565/948) of double infections involved rhinovirus. Conclusions:The overall detection rate of respiratory viruses is higher in autumn and winter than in spring and summer. The prevalence of some respiratory viruses such as influenza viruses decreases during the COVID-19 pandemic. People of different ages can develop multiple infections with rhinovirus being the most common in double infections.
