AIM: To explore the clinical effect of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)on the treatment of myopic anisometropia.METHODS: Clinical data of 76 patients(146 eyes)with myopic anisometropia who received SMILE or femtosecond assisted laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into SMILE group(39 cases, 77 eyes)and FS-LASIK group(37 cases, 69 eyes)according to surgical methods. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), diopter, anisometropia, corneal aberration and occurrence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: The UCVA of the two groups was improved after surgery compared with that before surgery, and the coma, trefoil, spherical aberration and total higher-order aberration were significantly increased compared to those before surgery(P<0.05), and the coma, trefoil, spherical aberration and total higher-order aberration in the FS-LASIK group were significantly higher than those in the SMILE group(P<0.05). After follow-up to 3 mo after surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the SMILE group than that in the FS-LASIK group(5.2% vs 15.9%, P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both SMILE and FS-LASIK can effectively enhance the UCVA and improve the visual quality in patients with myopic anisometropia, but SMILE has lower corneal higher order aberrations, lower incidence of postoperative complications and better overall effect.

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.

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.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic performance of continuous-time random-walk (CTRW) diffusion model combined with vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) in the diagnosis of muscle invasion of bladder cancer.Methods:In this case-control study, 64 patients with pathologically confirmed bladder urothelial carcinoma in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively enrolled from August 2022 to March 2023. The patients were divided into the muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) group and the nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) group (29 cases and 35 cases, respectively) according to the pathological results. All patients underwent bladder MRI within 4 weeks before surgery, including T 2WI, conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and multi-b-value DWI. The CTRW model was used to obtain three quantitative diffusion parameters, including D m (an anomalous diffusion coefficient), α (related to temporal diffusion heterogeneity), and β (related to spatial diffusion heterogeneity). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated using a mono-exponential model. The VI-RADS scores were evaluated based on T 2WI and conventional DWI. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the diffusion parameters between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group. The combination of the parameters was investigated with logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic performance for muscle invasion of bladder cancer was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis and the area under the curve (AUC). The difference between AUC was compared using the DeLong test. Results:There were statistically significant differences in ADC, D m, and α between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group ( Z=-2.31, -2.91, -3.97, P=0.021, 0.004,<0.001). No significant difference was found in β between the two groups ( Z=1.69, P=0.091). The AUC (95% CI) of D m and α for diagnosing MIBC were 0.712 (0.587-0.838) and 0.790 (0.676-0.904) respectively, both of which were higher than that of ADC (AUC 0.669, 95% CI 0.537-0.801) with statistically significant differences ( Z=2.86, 2.27, P=0.004, 0.023). The AUC (95% CI) of CTRW (D m+α) was 0.782 (0.661-0.876), which was significantly higher than that of ADC ( Z=2.35, P=0.019). The AUC (95% CI) of VI-RADS score and VI-RADS combined with CTRW parameter (VI-RADS+D m+α) were 0.823 (0.716-0.930) and 0.900 (0.799-0.961) respectively, with a statistically significant difference between them ( Z=2.16, P=0.031). Conclusion:The D m and α parameters in the CTRW diffusion model show better performance than the ADC in the mono-exponential model for muscle-invasive evaluation of bladder cancer, and the CTRW diffusion model can enhance the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS.
