AIM: To investigate the influence of relevant inflammatory markers in peripheral blood on the progression of neovascular glaucoma(NVG)secondary to diabetic retinopathy(DR)patients.METHODS: Retrospective case-control study. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of NVG: those with proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)alone(PDR group, n=148)and those with NVG secondary to PDR(NVG secondary to PDR group, n=142). Peripheral blood inflammatory markers were evaluated, including white blood cell-related indices, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(MLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index(SII). The distinctions in peripheral blood inflammatory markers between the two groups of patients and their relationships with NVG secondary to PDR were analyzed.RESULTS:No statistically significant differences were observed in basic characteristics between the two groups, confirming their comparability. However, significant differences were found in eosinophil percentage and MLR between the PDR group and the NVG secondary to PDR group(all P<0.05), with both values being significantly higher in the NVG secondary to PDR group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the eosinophil percentage and the MLR were factors influencing the development of patients with NVG secondary to PDR.CONCLUSION: Eosinophil percentage and MLR may be associated with the progression of PDR to NVG, and could serve as potential predictive markers for NVG development in PDR patients.

Objective To construct and validate a clinical prediction model for delayed extubation undergoing non-emergency major surgery based on the random forest algorithm.Methods Clinical data of 7 528 patients undergoing non-emergency major surgery under general anesthesia from January 2018 to De-cember 2022 were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether extubation was performed within 2 hours after surgery:non-delayed extubation group(≤2 hours)and de-layed extubation group(＞2 hours).All the patients were randomly divided into a training set and a valida-tion set in a ratio of 7 ∶ 3.The predictive factors for delayed extubation after surgery were screened through LASSO regression and Logistic regression.The random forest model was established and verified by random forest algorithm.Results There were 123 patients(1.6%)experienced delayed extubation after surgery.ASA physical status,department,intraoperative use of flurbiprofen ester,dexmedetomidine,glucocorticoid,hypocalcemia,severe anemia,intraoperative blood transfusion,and airway spasm were identified as inde-pendent predictive factors for delayed extubation.The area under curve(AUC)value of the random forest prediction model in the validation set was0.751(95%CI0.742-0.778),and the sensitivity was98.1%,and the specificity was 41.9%.Conclusion The predictive model of delayed extubation undergoing non-e-mergency major surgery based on random forest algorithm has a good predictive value,which may be helpful to prevent delayed extubation undergoing non-emergency major surgery.

With the promotion of the concept of"precision medicine",the application of the da Vinci surgical robot in surgical operations has attracted more and more attention.The robotic system consists of a surgeon's control platform,an image processing platform and a patient surgical platform,which can achieve highly precise and minimally invasive surgical operations.The patient surgical platform is its core component,which contains multiple robotic arms and tillers,which have functions such as rapid positioning,flexibility,and precise control to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery.Despite its significant technological advantages,the da Vinci surgical robot is a challenge for hospitals due to its high cost and complex maintenance requirements.It is necessary to improve the own repair and maintenance capacity of hospital.The composition principle of the da Vinci surgical robot's patient surgical platform was focally analyzed,with special emphasis on the structure and working principle of the tiller.The maintenance methods of common faults were explored through the analysis of specific failure cases of the patient surgical platform,to provide effective maintenance strategies for hospitals,reduce operating costs,and improve medical benefits.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban alone or in combination with folic acid/methylprednisolone in the treatment of livedoid vasculopathy (LV) .Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from LV patients who were treated with rivaroxaban alone or in combination at the Department of Dermatology, Kaifeng People's Hospital from April 2020 to September 2023. Before treatment, all the patients underwent serum folate and homocysteine tests. Folic acid therapy was given to patients with low folate levels; glucocorticoid therapy was given to patients with generalized skin lesions in the extremities in the acute stage or with dense inflammatory cell infiltration around the dermal vessels on histopathological examination. Clinical symptoms (erythema, ulceration and pain) were scored before and after 8 weeks of treatment. Adverse reactions were recorded during the treatment.Results:A total of 11 patients were collected, including 6 males and 5 females; their ages ranged from 15 to 73 (29.00 ± 17.85) years, and the disease duration ranged from 1 month to 4 years (13.36 ± 15.87 months). Among the 11 patients, 3 were treated with rivaroxaban combined with methylprednisolone and folate, 1 with rivaroxaban combined with methylprednisolone, 5 with rivaroxaban combined with folate, and 2 with rivaroxaban alone. The total score of clinical symptoms was 5.00 ± 2.28 points before treatment, and significantly decreased to 1.18 ± 0.75 points after 8 weeks of treatment with rivaroxaban alone or in combination ( t = 6.90, P = 0.001). In addition, the pain scores of 5 patients who reported pain dropped to 0 point after 8 weeks of treatment. One patient experienced coagulation abnormalities after 2 weeks of treatment, and the coagulation parameters returned to normal without special treatment after 4 weeks. Conclusion:Rivaroxaban alone or in combination with folic acid/methylprednisolone was effective for the treatment of LV with a good safety profile.

ObjectiveTo establish a quantitative analysis multi-components by single marker method （QAMS） for five main components （aucubin， geniposidic acid， chlorogenic acid， asperuloside and rutin） in Eucommiae Folium， to verify its feasibility and applicability in the determination of Eucommiae Folium， so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of quality standard of this herb. MethodHigh performance liquid chromatography was performed on a Welch Boltmatetm™ C₁₈ column （4.6 mm×100 mm， 2.7 μm） with methanol （A）-0.2% phosphoric acid aqueous solution （B） as the mobile phase for gradient elution （0-8 min， 3%A； 8-10 min， 3%-11%A； 10-26 min， 11%A； 26-27 min， 11%-25%A； 27-60 min， 25%-32%A）， the column temperature was set at 30 ℃， the flow rate was 0.6 mL·min^-1， the detection wavelengths were at 210 nm and 254 nm. Chlorogenic acid was used as an internal reference to establish the relative correction factors （f） between it and the other four components， and the contents of the five components in 14 batches of Eucommiae Folium were determined by QAMS and external standard method （ESM）， respectively. ResultThe f values of chlorogenic acid to aucubin， geniposidic acid， asperuloside and rutin were 3.13， 1.45， 2.64 and 0.56， respectively. Repeatability was good under different experimental conditions， relative standard deviation （RSD） was <5.0%. The contents of aucubin， geniposidic acid， chlorogenic acid， asperuloside and rutin in 14 batches of Eucommiae Folium were 1.340-28.975， 0.252-36.086， 10.016-27.443， 1.396-8.646， 0.533-1.766 mg·g^-1， respectively. There were no significant difference between content results of QAMS and that of ESM （RSD<5.0%）. ConclusionQAMS established with chlorogenic acid as the internal reference can be used to determine the contents of five components in Eucommiae Folium， and this method is simple and accurate. After comprehensive evaluation， the quality standard of Eucommiae Folium in subsequent editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia is suggested that three main active components， chlorogenic acid， aucubin and geniposidic acid， are selected as quality markers， and their content limits are recommended not less than 1.5%， 1.0% and 1.0%， respectively. This quality standard draft can avoid the potential quality risk due to poor specificity and low content limit of the index component （chlorogenic acid） in the previous editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Objective:To observe any effect of exosomes derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on pain, cartilage repair and the expression of transcriptional activator 3 (ATF-3) and growth related protein 43 (GAP-43) in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), as well as to explore the mechanism of their relieving pain.Methods:Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham-operation group, a monoiodoacetate group and an exosome group, each of 18. The knee cavities of the left hind limbs of all of the rats except those in the sham-operation group were injected with 50μl of monoiodoacetate to establish an arthritis pain model. The sham-operation group received only 50μl of saline solution as controls. Two weeks after the modelling, the knee joint cavities of the exosome group were injected with 50μl of exosomes, while the other two groups were injected with 50μl of normal saline. The rats′ mechanical and thermal pain thresholds were measured 1 day before the modeling, 7 and 14 days after the monoiodoacetate injection, as well as 7, 14 and 28 days after the exosome injection. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of ATF-3 and GAP-43 in the rats′ DRG, while hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to detect any cartilage repair.Results:Compared with the monoiodoacetate group, the latency of the mechanical and thermal pain thresholds had increased significantly in the exosome group 7 days after the exosome injection. The difference remained significant until the 28th day after the injection. The expression of ATF-3 protein decreased significantly and that of the GAP-43 protein increased significantly. Significant differences were observed in the average Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) knee cartilage score.Conclusions:Exosomes can alleviate the pain induced by monoiodoacetate adjuvant. The analgesic mechanism may be related to reducing nerve injury and promoting nerve and cartilage repair, with the nerve repair earlier than cartilage repair.

Objective:To observe any effect of body-weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) on lower limb motor function and the walking ability of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods:Fifty-eight stroke survivors with hemiplegia were randomly divided into an FES group of 19, a BWSTT group of 19 and a combination group of 20. In addition to their early routine rehabilitation therapy, the FES and BWSTT groups were provided with the respective therapies, while the combination group received both. The three groups received 30 minutes of treatment a day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the simplified version of the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale for the lower extremities (FMA-LE), the 10-metre walk test (10MWT) and functional ambulation classification (FAC) were used to evaluate the subjects′ balance, lower-limb motor function, walking speed and walking function before and after the 8 weeks of treatment.Results:After the treatment, the average BBS, FMA-LE, 10MWT and FAC scores of all three groups had improved significantly, but the combination group′s averages were then significantly better than those of the other two groups.Conclusions:BWSTT combined with FES can best improve the balance, lower-limb motor functioning and walking of hemiplegic stroke survivors.

Magnetic anchoring and traction technique is one of the core technologies of magnetic surgery. With the "non-contact" traction force of the outer magnet on the inner magnet, we can drive the inner magnet and the gripper to multiple directions, and pull tissue or organ to required position in operations, so as to get a clearer surgical field of view. On the basis of the previous animal experiments, we applied magnetic anchoring and traction device in 3 human (males aged 63-71 years) thoracoscopic esophagectomies. Using the magnetic anchoring device, we could pull the esophagus dorsally or ventrally to assist in exposing the anatomical plane without special equipment or pleural puncture for retraction of the esophagus. The interference between operating instruments reduced. The mean blood loss in operation was 83 mL, the mean total operation time was 253 min and the mean length of hospital stay was 10 d. Postoperative follow-up showed that all 3 patients had good short-term prognosis. There was no swellling or pain in magnetic anchoring zone of chest wall.

【Objective】 To analyze the prevalence of anemia in preschool children in Bincheng District of Binzhou city and its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for formulating new measures to prevent anemia in children. 【Methods】 The health examination results of 10 674 children aged 3~6 from multiple kindergartens in Bincheng District in 2020 were collected, and anemia prevalence was investigated by analyzing the blood routine indicators. 【Results】 The incidence of anemia in 10 674 children was 1.95%, with 1.86%(100/5 375)in boys and 2.04%(108/5 299)in girls(P>0.05), with 3.06%(44/1 439)vs 2.93%(43/1 468), 1.79%(37/2 071)vs 2.04%(43/2 107)and 1.02%(19/1 865)vs1.28%(22/1 724)in boys and girls aged 3, 4 and 5, respectively. No significant difference was noticed in anemia incidence between boys and girls in each age group(P>0.05), while significant difference laid between boys and girls among different age groups(P<0.05). The degree of anemia was mainly mild in both boys and girls, accounting for 98.6%(205/208)of the total anemia. The median Hb of preschool children in Bincheng District was 125 g/L(boys 125 g/L vs girls 124 g/L). The median Hb of 5-year-old boys was 126 g/ L, which was higher than 125 g/L of 5-year-old girls. The Hb values of boys and girls were different by age groups, with statistical significance(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The anemia prevalence in children in Bincheng District decreased gradually with the increase of age. The general survey of anemia in children with younger age is an important step for early detection and early intervention.
