The therapeutic concept of amblyopia has gradually shifted from improving the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye to restoring binocular visual function.Conventional occlusion therapy and routine visual training have issues such as long treatment cycles, insufficient entertainment value and poor patient compliance, which limits the stability of therapeutic effects. Virtual reality(VR)technology, characterized by immersion, interactivity, and adjustable stimulus parameters, has been increasingly applied to visual training for amblyopia.Current evidence suggests that VR-based training can improve visual acuity and binocular visual function in amblyopia patients to a certain extent.Moreover, its gamified interactions and feedback-driven design may also enhance patient motivation and treatment adherence. This review begins with the mechanisms and theoretical basis of VR training for amblyopia, proceeds to summarizeits advantages over conventional methods, current systems, training modes, clinical efficacy, commonly used outcome measures, as well as safety and acceptability, aiming to provide a reference for its standardization, clinical translation, and widespread adoption.

Objective: To show the characteristics of blood component transfusion and differences in hematopoietic reconstitution time among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) retrospectively, with the aim of identifying factors affecting blood transfusion and hematopoietic reconstitution, and providing evidence for optimizing stem cell collection strategies and developing individualized transfusion regimens. Methods: A total of 95 patients who received allo-HSCT treatment in our hospital from January 2023 to December 2025 were enrolled. Data including disease classification, HLA matching status, ABO blood group compatibility, and cellular composition of grafts were analyzed, and differences in red blood cell and platelet transfusion requirements, as well as the hematopoietic reconstitution time, were compared among groups. Factors affecting transfusion requirements and hematopoietic reconstitution time were evaluated. Results: Different disease classifications showed no significant effect on red blood cell or platelet transfusion requirements. No statistically significant differences were observed in blood component transfusion volumes or hematopoietic reconstitution time between HLA semi-matched and fully matched status, ABO blood group compatibility, and graft platelet count. A statistically significant difference was observed only in granulocyte engraftment time between the graft MNC count group of (6-10)×10
/kg and the (2-4)×10
/kg group [12.00 (11.00, 13.00) vs 18.00 (17.00, 30.00) days, P<0.05]. Regarding graft CD34
cell count, the (6-10)×10
/kg group had a platelet transfusion volume of 3.00 (3.00, 4.00) therapeutic units, with granulocyte and platelet engraftment time of 11.00 (10.25, 13.75) days and 12.00 (11.00, 14.00) days, respectively; the (>10)×10
/kg group had corresponding values of 3.00 (2.00, 3.25) therapeutic units, 11.50 (10.00, 12.00) days, and 12.00 (11.00, 13.00) days. Compared with the (2-4)×10
/kg group [6.00 (3.00, 8.00) therapeutic units, 13.00 (12.00, 15.00) days, 15.00 (15.50, 22.50) days], all these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients in the CD34
<4×10
/kg group demonstrated delayed granulocyte and platelet engraftment and significantly increased platelet transfusion requirements. Conclusion: The CD34
cell dose in the graft is a significant correlate of hematopoietic reconstitution time after allo-HSCT and is significantly associated with platelet transfusion requirements. Blood transfusion is a necessary measure for supportive treatment of allo-HSCT patients. Optimizing stem cell harvesting protocols to achieve the target CD34
cell dose, along with developing individualized transfusion strategies based on graft CD34
counts, may facilitate hematopoietic recovery, reduce transfusion burden, and ultimately improve patient outcomes after transplantation.

Immune rejection following liver transplantation is a critical factor affecting long-term graft survival. While traditional immunosuppressive regimens based on calcineurin inhibitors are effective, they are often accompanied by long-term side effects, making the induction of immune tolerance an important goal. This article systematically reviews the mechanisms of immune rejection following liver transplantation and the limitations of current drugs, with a focus on the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a novel strategy for inducing immune tolerance. Preliminary clinical trials have confirmed that MSC infusion has a favorable safety profile and shows an immunomodulatory effect; however, there are still multiple challenges regarding the timing of infusion, cell source, dosage, and synergy with conventional regimens. Large-scale clinical trials are needed in the future to further validate their long-term efficacy and safety, and MSC therapy is expected to become a new direction for immune management in liver transplantation.

Objective: To investigate the clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and treatment strategies of a case of fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) complicated with piperacillin drug antibody. Methods: The platelet antibodies in the mother were screened and identified by ELISA. The HLA antigens of the newborn were genotyped through PCR-SSO, while the specificity of HLA antibodies in the mother was determined using a Single Antigen kit. The drug antibody was detected by a piperacillin kit. Results: Maternal antibodies against paternally-derived platelet antigens were detected. The HLA genotypes of the newborn were identified as HLA A
33∶03 and HLA B
58∶01. The mother exhibited strong positive antibodies against the specific platelet antigens of the newborn, namely anti-HLA-A33 and anti-HLA-B58 antibodies. The piperacillin antibody was detected in the newborn. Following treatment of continuous intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), platelet transfusions, red blood cell transfusions and discontinuation of piperacillin treatment, the platelet count and hemoglobin levels increased in the newborn. Conclusion: The newborn in this case was diagnosed with FNAIT complicated by the presence of anti-HLA-A33 and anti-HLA-B58 antibodies, as well as drug-induced hemolytic anemia caused by piperacillin drug antibody. The condition is more complicated under the influence of dual immune antibodies. Laboratory detection techniques such as platelet antibody and drug antibody tests can assist in early clinical diagnosis. At the same time, more active drug and blood transfusion treatments should be given in clinical practice to improve the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the differences in radiation dose during chest CT examinations among children of different age groups and establish dose estimation regression models. Methods Chest CT data from 135 children aged 4 to 15 years were retrospectively collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2022 and December 2023. The children were divided into three age groups: 4-5 years, 6-10 years and 11-15 years. CT scanning parameters (tube voltage, tube current, scan range) and dosimetry parameters including volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) dose length product (DLP), and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) were recorded. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare intergroup differences. A Pearson correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between age and dose indicators. Both linear and nonlinear regression models were constructed. Results Age showed a weak positive correlation with CTDIvol (r = 0.27), a moderate positive correlation with DLP (r = 0.60), and a moderate negative correlation with SSDE (r = −0.55). Linear regression analysis revealed that DLP increased with age (y = 117.85 + 9.81x, R2 = 0.36), while SSDE decreased with age (y = 12.4 − 0.18x, R2 = 0.32). Using orthogonal distance regression, the goodness-of-fit of the nonlinear models for DLP and SSDE significantly improved (R2 = 0.99 and 0.94, respectively). Conclusion In pediatric chest CT dose assessment, CTDIvol underestimates radiation dose compared to SSDE and fails to account for patient body size. The dose estimation models constructed with orthogonal distance regression outperform those established using the least squares method, demonstrating higher fitting accuracy, and can serve as a reference for personalized dose management in pediatric CT examinations.

Pancreatic cancer is highly malignant and difficult to treat. The implantation of radioactive seed has opened up a new treatment option for pancreatic cancer. Although the implantation of radioactive seed in the treatment of pancreatic cancer has achieved good results, due to the special anatomical location of pancreatic cancer and the dense distribution of important tissues and organs around the tumor, the operation of seed implantation for pancreatic cancer has become a clinical treatment challenge. We applied the method of 3D printing template navigation and constraining the direction of the puncture needle. The puncture needle followed the safe puncture path designed in the preoperative treatment planning system, effectively avoiding important tissues and organs, and implanted radioactive seeds in the tumor. The operation of seed implantation was simplified, homogenized and made safe. In this group of cases, the proportion of successful particle implantation using 3D printing template navigation was 89.5%. All cases met the preoperative treatment plan in postoperative dose verification and achieved the purpose of radioactive seed implantation treatment.
