Pain not only affects the physical and mental health of individuals, but also imposes a huge burden on society as a whole. Traditional pain management measures are diverse, but each has its limitations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new tools. Digital therapies are booming, and virtual reality (VR) has been widely used, especially in the field of pain management. VR uses assistive tools, such as headsets, to build a three-dimensional virtual world with the participation of multiple senses, including vision, hearing, and smell, so that it can make user feel being there. This review aims to summarize the application and mechanism of VR in the field of pain management, with the hope of making VR a new choice for pain management.

Aim To investigate the inhibition role and mechanism of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell(ADMSC)exosomes(Exo)on adverse ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction(MI).Methods The chan-ges of autophagy and inflammasomes phenotype of cardiac fibroblasts after H2O2 treatment were observed.MI rats were in-jected with an equal volume of normal saline,adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes(MSC-Exo)or fibroblast exosomes(MEF-Exo)via a tail vein.The expression of autophagy related 16 like protein 1(ATG16L1),autophagy re-lated protein 7(ATG7)and NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),inflammatory response,the degree of myocardial fi-brosis,and the cardiac function were observed in different groups.Results After treatment with H2O2 on cardiac fi-broblasts,the expressions of ATG16L1 and ATG7 were significantly decreased(P＜0.001),NLRP3 was significantly in-creased(P＜0.001),and the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-18 were significantly elevated(P＜0.001).After MI rats were intervened with MSC-Exo,the expressions of autophagy related proteins ATG16L1 and ATG7 were significantly up-regulated(P＜0.001),NLRP3 was significantly down-regulated(P＜0.001),serum IL-1β and IL-18 levels were significantly decreased(P＜0.001),fibrosis-related proteins collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were significantly reduced(P＜0.001),myocardial fibrosis was significantly relieved(P＜0.001),and cardiac function was sig-nificantly improved(P＜0.001).Conclusion Adipose derived MSC-Exo play a role in inhibiting adverse ventricular remodeling after MI by regulating the balance of autophagy and NLRP3 inflammasomes.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of vaginal color Doppler flow parameters in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer in different FIGO staging.Methods:178 patients with ovarian tumors who were treated by surgery in Dingzhou People’s Hospital from Jul. 2016 to Jul. 2022 were selected, and they were divided into ovarian cancer group (65 cases) and ovarian cyst group (113 cases) according to the results of postoperative pathological diagnosis. According to FIGO staging standards, ovarian cancer was divided into FIGO stage I (18 cases) , FIGO stage II (16 cases) , FIGO stage III (16 cases) and FIGO stage IV (15 cases) . The blood flow parameters of vaginal color Doppler ultrasound were measured, including arterial pulsatility index (PI) , end diastolic flow velocity (EDV) , resistance index (RI) , peak flow velocity (PSV) , serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and human epididymal epithelial secretory protein 4 (HE4) . The levels of PI, EDV, RI, PSV, VEGF and HE4 were compared between the two groups and patients with different FIGO stages, and the value of ROC analysis of vaginal color Doppler flow parameters in predicting the occurrence of ovarian cancer was analyzed. The correlation between FIGO stage and vaginal color Doppler flow parameters and serum VEGF and HE4 levels was analyzed by person coefficient.Results:PI and RI levels in ovarian cancer group were (0.79 ± 0.15) , and (0.39 ± 0.12) , lower than those in ovarian cyst group (1.51 ± 0.17) , (0.72 ± 0.16) ; EDV, PSV, HE4, VEGF levels were (13.88 ± 4.18) cm/s, (25.61 ± 4.53) cm/s, (283.92 ± 28.97) pmol/L, and (372.55 ± 38.96) ng/mL, higher than those in ovarian cyst group ( P<0.05) . According to ROC analysis, the best cutoff values of transvaginal color Doppler blood flow parameters for predicting the occurrence of ovarian cancer were PI<1.235, EDV≥10.985 cm/s, RI<0.580, PSV≥22.975cm/s, all P<0.05. The levels of PI and RI in patients with different FIGO stages showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the severity of the disease, while the levels of EDV, HE4 and VEGF showed an increasing trend ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in PSV levels between patients with different FIGO stages ( P>0.05) . The correlation analysis showed that FIGO stage was positively correlated with the blood flow parameters EDV and the levels of serum HE4 and VEGF. FIGO stage was negatively correlated with PI and RI ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There were significant differences in the levels of PI, RI and EDV in patients with ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer at different FIGO stages. The levels of PI, RI and EDV are closely related to the malignant degree of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of comprehensive treatment for retinoblastoma (RB).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January to December in 2019, 157 cases (203 eyes) of RB who were diagnosed by the Department of Ophthalmology of Xinhua Hospital and received comprehensive treatment were included in this study. Of cases, 76 were male, and 81 were female; 111 were unilateral, and 46 were bilateral. The medium of age at diagnosis was 20.1 months. All patients received treatment for the first time. Patients with intraocular tumors were divided into A-E stages, extraocular stage and distant metastasis according to international intraocular RB classification standard. The median follow-up time was 37.4 months. Clinical features, treatment, prognosis and ocular complications of all cases were recorded.Results:Among 157 cases (203 eyes), 137 cases (180 eyes) were in intraocular stage; 6, 14, 10, 98, and 52 of eyes were in A-E stages, respectively. Twelve cases (12 eyes) were in extraocular stage; 8 cases (11 eyes) were in distant metastasis stag; 8 cases died due to distant metastasis; 149 cases (94.9%, 149/157) survived; 48 eyes were enucleated, 34 of which underwent initial enucleation, and 14 eyes underwent enucleation after eye-preserving treatment. The overall global salvage rate was 155 eyes (76.4%,155/203), and that after eye-preserving treatment was 91.7% (155/169). Severer eye for bilateral cases was taken into account for statistic; 120 cases (120 eyes) received initial eye-preserving treatment. Among them, 36 and 84 eyes underwent initial intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) and initial intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC), respectively. The enucleation of the two groups was 7(19.4%, 7/36), 7(8.3%, 7/84); 33 (91.7%, 33/36) and 33 (39.3%, 33/84) eyes received the second treatment, respectively. There was no significant difference in the rate of enucleation between the two treatments ( χ2=2.037, P=0.154). There was significant difference in the percentage of secondary treatment ( χ2=27.937, P<0.001). Fifty-four eyes (45.0%, 54/120) stabilized after initial treatment, and 66 eyes (55.0%, 66/120) underwent secondary treatments due to poor response or tumor recurrence. For 66 eyes receiving secondary treatments, enucleation, IAC, intravitreous chemotherapy (IVitC), IAC combined with IVitC, and laser and/or cryotherapy was performed in 6, 18, 12, 13, and 17 eyes, respectively. The number of eyes of enucleation among the IAC, IVitC, and IAC combined with IVitC group was 5 (27.8%, 5/18), 1 (9.3%, 1/12), and 2 (15.4%, 2/13) eyes, which was no significantly different ( χ2=2.001, P=0.368). Until the last follow-up, visual acuity outcomes were acquired in 148 eyes (72.9%, 148/203). Among them, 41, 53, 16 and 38 eyes had no light perception, light perception to finger counting, 20/400, and ≥20/200, respectively. In total, among 203 eyes, 121 eyes received IAC, of which 2, 4, and 1 eyes had optic disc atrophy, vitreous hemorrhage, and severe retinal-choroidal atrophy, respectively; 60 eyes received IVitC, of which one and one eye had vitreous hemorrhage and macular hemorrhagic necrosis, respectively. Conclusions:In this study, the overall survival rate was 94.9% after comprehensive treatment and the rate of global salvage after eye-preserving treatment was 91.7%. The comprehensive treatment of retinoblastoma had a relatively high efficacy and safety.

Bivalves are species-rich mollusks with prominent protective roles in coastal ecosystems.Across these ancient lineages,colony-founding larvae anchor themselves either by byssus produc-tion or by cemented attachment.The latter mode of sessile life is strongly molded by left-right shell asymmetry during larval development of Ostreoida oysters such as Crassostrea hongkongensis.Here,we sequenced the genome of C.hongkongensis in high resolution and compared it to reference bivalve genomes to unveil genomic determinants driving cemented attachment and shell asymmetry.Importantly,loss of the homeobox gene Antennapedia(Antp)and broad expansion of lineage-specific extracellular gene families are implicated in a shift from byssal to cemented attachment in bivalves.Comparative transcriptomic analysis shows a conspicuous divergence between left-right asymmetrical C.hongkongensis and symmetrical Pinctada fucata in their expression profiles.Especially,a couple of orthologous transcription factor genes and lineage-specific shell-related gene families including that encoding tyrosinases are elevated,and may cooperatively govern asymmet-rical shell formation in Ostreoida oysters.

BACKGROUND: Pain and cartilage destruction caused by osteoarthritis (OA) is a major challenge in clinical treatment.Traditional intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) can relieve the disease, but limited by the difficulty of longterm maintenance of efficacy. METHODS: In this study, an injectable and self-healing hydrogel was synthesized by in situ crosslinking of N-carboxyethyl chitosan (N-chitosan), adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), and hyaluronic acid–aldehyde (HA-ALD). RESULTS: This supramolecular hydrogel sustains good biocompatibility for chondrocytes. Intra-articular injection of this novel hydrogel can significantly alleviate the local inflammation microenvironment in knee joints, through inhibiting the inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-a, IL-1b, IL-6 and IL-17) in the synovial fluid and cartilage at 2- and even 12-weeks post-injection. Histological and behavioral test indicated that hydrogel injection protected cartilage destruction and relieved pain in OA rats, in comparison to HA injection. CONCLUSION This kind of novel hydrogel, which is superior to the traditional HA injection, reveals a great potential for the treatment of OA.

In addition, with regard to the multiple disputes in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital mitral valve, experts from pediatric cardiac surgery and related disciplines have been convened for discussion for many times, and finally the following consensus has been formed to guide the clinical treatment and provide theoretical and technical guidance for the surgical treatment of congenital mitral valve malformation in China.

Objective:To explore the psychological state and affected factors of elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 156 elderly hip fracture patients(>65 years) admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2016 to August 2019 was performed. General and psychological information were collected by questionnaire.General information included age, gender, education, whether surgery, length of stay.SCL-90, a self-assessment scale, was chosen as the psychological test to analyzed the elderly hip fracture patients′ psychological status during hospitalization and the norms of SCL-90 in Chinese which were established in 1986 were used as the control group. The prognostic factors were examined by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:Somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, paranoid factor scores, and total scores of the elderly hip fracture patients were significantly higher than control group(all P=0.00).Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis showed that non-surgery treatment and more than 10 days of hospitalization were independent prognostic factors that affected the psychological state of elderly hip fracture patients (all P=0.00). Conclusion:Elderly patients hospitalized with osteoporosis and hip fractures are prone to have negative emotional and psychological changes.The length of hospitalization and the choice of treatment can affect patients′ psychological state, suggesting that effective psychological intervention is necessary.
