AIM: To compare the clinical effect of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)and implantable collamer lens(ICL)implantation on efficacy, safety and visual quality in patients with high myopia complicated with low astigmatism.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 80 cases(159 eyes)of high myopia and low astigmatism treated in the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were included, and they were divided into 46 cases(91 eyes)in SMILE group and 34 cases(68 eyes)in ICL implantation group by means of different surgical methods. The spherical equivalent, uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), higher order aberrations of cornea and optical quality index, effectiveness and safety index were compared between the two groups before surgery and at 3 and 6 mo after surgery, and the surgical complications were counted.RESULTS: The spherical equivalent, UCVA and BCVA of both groups were all improved at 6 mo postoperatively(all P<0.05). At 6 mo after surgery, there were no differences in UCVA, BCVA, spherical equivalent, effectiveness and safety index between both groups(all P>0.05). The root mean square values of total higher order aberration, spherical aberration, coma, vertical coma and horizontal coma in the SMILE group were higher than those in the ICL implantation group, and Strehl ratio(SR)in the ICL implantation group was higher than that in the SMILE group at 3 and 6 mo after surgery(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: SMILE and ICL implantation have good surgical efficacy in the treatment of patients with high myopia and low astigmatism, and both methods can achieve good postoperative visual acuity and objective visual quality. Furthermore, the ICL implantation has better postoperative visual quality than SMILE.

ObjectiveTo establish a method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the detection of six common trichothecene toxins in oats. MethodsOats were selected as the research subject in this study. Response surface design was used to optimize the QuEChERS extraction method. Additionally, a rapid and efficient strategy for sample extraction and purification was developed. Combined with UHPLC-MS/MS, six commonly co-occurring trichothecene toxins in oats were quantitatively analyzed simultaneously. ResultsThis method demonstrated good analytical performance for each analyte across the corresponding concentration ranges (r>0.99), with accuracy ranging from 87.26% to 99.64%. The inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations were less than 6.8% and 5.5%, respectively, indicating its potential for practical application. This method was used to detect mycotoxins in 12 oat samples from China, and it was found that one sample exceeded the standard limits for deoxynivalenol (DON), and the co-contamination of trichothecene toxin was prevalent. ConclusionThe risk posed by these toxins has been underestimated. Ongoing, extensive monitoring is necessary to provide contamination data to assess the consumer risk.

Objective:To investigate the role and related mechanisms of the LiaSR two-component system in acid tolerance and biofilm formation abilities of Streptococcus mutans (Sm) 593. Methods:The growth curves of various Sm strains in pH=5.5 brian heart infusion (BHI) medium were analyzed. And colony forming unit (CFU) was also performed to evaluate the acid tolerance of Sm. Laurdan probe, H +-K +adenosine triphosphate (ATP)ase activity analysis kit, proton permeability assay and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) were conducted to detect the acid tolerant mechanisms of LiaSR two-component system in Sm. Crystal violet staining, CFU, SYTOX probe and anthrone-sulfuric method were used to analyze the properties and structures of the Sm biofilms. RT-qPCR was conducted to detect the expression levels of underlying regulated genes. Results:The growth of mutants in acidic BHI were inhibited ( P<0.05). The acid tolerance of mutants significantly decreased compared to the wild-type strain ( P<0.05). In mutants, the activity of H +-ATPase (917.06±59.53 and 469.53±47.65) were elevated by 7.22-folds and 3.70-folds compared to the wild-type strain (127.00±50.71) ( P<0.001, P<0.001) and the encoded gene atpD (3.39±0.21 and 1.94±0.17) were also elevated by 3.39-folds and 1.94-folds compared to the wild-type strain (1.00±0.15) ( P<0.001, P=0.001). The Laurdan generalized polarization of mutants (0.18±0.04 and 0.18±0.05) increased significantly compared to the wild-type strain (0.08±0.05) ( P=0.006, P=0.003) and the expression levels of fabM gene were decreased in mutants (0.52±0.11 and 0.57±0.05) by 1/2 ( P=0.014, P=0.022). In liaR deletion mutant, the reduced terminal pH (4.76±0.01) can also be observed ( P<0.001). The total amount of the biofilms of three Sm didn't show significant differences ( P>0.05). But the number of viable bacteria of mutants′ biofilms were decreased [Sm 593: (12.00±2.80)×10 7 CFU/ml; Sm ΔliaS: (2.95±1.13)×10 7 CFU/ml; Sm ΔliaR: (7.25±1.60)×10 7 CFU/ml] ( P=0.001, P=0.024). The extracellular DNA were increased by 18.00-folds and 6.50-folds in mutants′ biofilms (128.73±15.65 and 46.38±5.52) compared to the wild-type strain (7.16±3.62) ( P<0.001, P=0.003). Water-soluble exopolysaccharides could be found up-regulated in liaS deletion mutant [(138.73±10.12) μg/ml] ( P=0.003) along with the expression level of gtfC gene (1.65±0.39) ( P=0.014). The expression level of gtfD were elevated by 47.43-folds and 16.90-folds in mutants ( P<0.001, P=0.010). Conclusions:The LiaSR two-component system can promote the expression of fabM gene and increase the fluidity of Sm which contributes to acid tolerance. The LiaR can also decrease the proton permeability and restrict the entrance of H +. The LiaSR two-component system can negatively regulate the production of the extracellular matrix in Sm biofilm.

This study aims to investigate the effects of the skin tissue derived peptides on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and collagen expressions in keloid fibroblasts. From January 2015 to January 2017, patients with hypertrophic scar who underwent surgical excision in department of plastic surgery of Nanjing maternal and child health hospital were included in this retrospective study. Four peptides were selected from the differential peptides between human hypertrophic scar and normal skin tissue. They were named as peptide deregulated in hypertrophic scar 2-5 (PDHPS2-5). Bioinformatics and functional analysis were performed. A low dose of 10 μmol/L of four peptides were respectively added to the culture medium of human primary keloid fibroblasts for 24 h. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) were used to detect the changes in cell viability. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Cell migration ability was checked by Transwell chamber. The protein expressions of collagen COL1A2 (Collagen type I alpha 2) and the myofibroblast marker gene ACTA2 (Actin alpha 2) were analyzed by Western blot. The results showed that bioinformatics prediction analysis revealed that peptide PDHPS4 has the longest half-life and the highest thermal stability. Compared with the control group, low dose of four peptides had no significant effect on the survival rate and apoptosis of keloid fibroblasts tested by CCK-8 assay and flowcytometry. Transwell analysis showed that one peptides (PDHPS5) can significantly inhibit the cell migration ability (The optical density value in Control is 0.81±0.11, in PDHPS5 is 0.27±0.03, t=8.61, P=0.001). Western blot analysis showed that four peptides (PDHPS2, PDHPS3, PDHPS4, PDHPS5) can significantly inhibit the protein expressions of COL1A2 (The relative protein band intensity in Control is 1.02±0.02, in PDHPS2 is 0.21±0.04, in PDHPS3 is 0.26±0.03, in PDHPS4 is 0.53±0.04, in PDHPS5 is 0.73±0.04, t=31.38, 38.54, 18.88, 11.07 respectively, all P value are less than 0.01). Three peptides (PDHPS2, PDHPS3, PDHPS5) can significantly inhibit the protein expressions of ACTA2 (The relative protein band intensity in Control is 1.02±0.02, in PDHPS2 is 0.64±0.05, in PDHPS3 is 0.77±0.06, in PDHPS5 is 0.47±0.07, t=12.08, 6.38, 14.06 respectively, all P value are less than 0.01). In conclusion, the differentially expressed peptides in human hypertrophic scar tissue can affect the function of keloid fibroblasts and collagen expressions to varying degrees. Among them, two peptides (PDHPS2,PDHPS3) significantly inhibit the protein expressions of COL1A2 and ACTA2. The peptide PDHPS5 has high stability, significantly suppresses cell migration, and reduces the protein expressions of COL1A2 and ACTA2, which may provide a new strategy for scar prevention and treatment.

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome is an inflammatory protein complex, and can participate into the inflammatory response. Upon activation, these inflammasomes can lead to Caspase-1 activation, thereby inducing a cascade of inflammatory factor activation and further cell pyroptosis. Excessive activation of inflammasomes will induce the overexpression of inflammatory factors, persistently triggering immune dysregulation and inflammatory chain reactions, even causing severe damage. The recent studies have confirmed a close association between retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy(DR), retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(RIRI), and proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR)with immune dysregulation and inflammatory responses, which is serving as crucial factors in the progression of retinal diseases. This article reviews the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway and its role in the occurrence and development of retinal diseases, in order to provide new ideas for the pathogenesis and prevention of retinal diseases.

【Objective】 To observe the effect of tele-rehabilitation program on the articulation resolution of preschool children with functional articulation disorders (FAD), so as to provide reference for the clinical application of tele-rehabilitation in this context. 【Methods】 A total of 66 preschool children diagnosed with FAD in the outpatient department of Child Rehabilitation, Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected into this study, and were divided into tele-rehabilitation group (n=32) and control group (n=34) by random number table method. The control group received daily family rehabilitation guidance, while the tele-rehabilitation group underwent a tele-rehabilitation program lasting for 3 months. All children were assessed using the Chinese phonological ability evaluation lexicon before and 3 months after the treatment. 【Results】 After 3 months of treatment, both the tele-rehabilitation group and the control group showed significant improvements in articulation resolution compared to before treatment (t=12.165、12.986, P<0.05). Notably, the tele-rehabilitation group exhibited significantly greater improvement than the control group (t=2.138, P<0.05). Within the tele-rehabilitation group, children were further divided into three subgroups based on the severity of their dysphonia: mild, moderate, and severe. After 3 months of treatment, the articulation resolution of the mild and moderate groups improved significantly compared to before treatment (Z=2.226, 31.900, P<0.05), whereas no statistically significant improvement was observed in the severe group compared to before treatment (Z=1.857, P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Tele-rehabilitation program effectively improves articulation resolution in preschool children with FAD, especially for mild to moderate preschool children with FAD.
