AIM: To compare the clinical efficacy, vault, and rotational stability of horizontal, oblique, and vertical implantation of Toric implantable collamer lens(TICL).METHODS: Retrospective cohort study. A total of 92 cases(120 eyes)who underwent TICL implantation from July 2018 to March 2022 and had regular follow-up for at least 1 a postoperatively(1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, 6 mo, and 1 a)at Wuhan Bright Eye Hospital were collected. The patients were divided into three groups, with 34 cases(45 eyes)in horizontal implantation group, 25 cases(29 eyes)in oblique implantation group(29 cases), and 33 cases(46 eyes)in vertical implantation group. Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), diopters, vault, and rotation angle(deviation of the actual axis of TICL from the expected axis).RESULTS: All surgeries were uneventful, and there were no complications such as infection, secondary glaucoma, or cataract opacity. Safety and efficacy of the surgery: the CDVA of the three groups of patients was better than or equal to the preoperative CDVA at 1 a postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant differences in postoperative UDVA and CDVA of the three groups(P>0.05). The safety index at 1a postoperatively was 1.34±0.21, 1.34±0.17, and 1.31±0.18 for the horizontal, oblique, and vertical groups, respectively. The efficacy index was 1.26±0.21, 1.33±0.18, and 1.27±0.16 for the three groups, respectively, both with no statistically significant differences(P>0.05). Vault: there was a significant difference in postoperative vault among the three groups(P=0.003), with the vertical group having the lowest vault, followed by the horizontal group and the oblique group. The vaults at different follow-up time points within each group showed significant differences(P<0.001), and all decreased over time. Residual astigmatism: there was no significant difference in residual astigmatism among the three groups(P=0.130), but there were differences at different follow-up time points within each group(P<0.001). Rotation angle: no significant differences in rotation angle were observed among the three groups(P=0.135), but there were differences at different follow-up time points within each group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The implantation of TICL in different orientations has good safety and efficacy, the postoperative rotational stability is good, and the appropriate angle can be selected to implant TICL according to the clinical situation.

Objective:Taking emergency department (ED) as a starting point, to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and mortality risk factors of sepsis, and to provide evidences for ED to carry out the strategy of "three early and two lower" for sepsis.Methods:Based on the ED and inpatient medical record management information platform of Tianjin Medical University Gernal Hospital, adult ED patients with sepsis from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020 were included according to the third international consensus definitions for sepsis and septic shock in 2016 and the consensus of Chinese experts on early prevention and blocking of sepsis in 2020. The epidemiological characteristics of patients were retrospectively analyzed. Chi-square test was used to compare the difference of age, sex, hospitalization times, length of stay, hospitalization cost and infection location between dead patients and survival patients, and a stepwise logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of mortality in hospitalized patients with ED sepsis.Results:A total of 7 494 patients with sepsis in ED were included in this study, and the annual and monthly component ratios varied from 3.8‰ to 6.1‰ and 2.0‰ to 9.0‰, respectively. The main characteristics of patients with sepsis in ED were as follows: 40-69 years old (46.0%), male (59.0%), mostly diagnosed with sepsis (96.8%), mainly treated with urban health insurance (59.6%), and ED diagnosis and treatment fees of 2 000-8 000 Yuan (51.1%). The mortality of hospitalized patients with ED sepsis was 24.4% and that of hospitalized patients with septic shock was 28.8%. The main characteristics of hospitalized patients with ED sepsis were as follows: most of them were male (56.2%) patients over 70 years old (56.0%), most of them were diagnosed with sepsis (94.0%) and hospitalized for the first time (76.0%), the median hospitalization time was 15 d, most of them were hospitalized under urban health insurance (65.2%), and the median hospitalization fees was 47 000 Yuan. The risk factors of death were influenced by age and length of stay. Patients aged 70 years or older had a higher risk of death than those aged from 18 to 39 years, and patients with a length of stay of more than 7 d had a lower risk of death than those with a length of stay of shorter than 7 d. The primary infection focus were mainly respiratory and urinary systems, while the death rate of patients with hematological and abdominal infections was relatively high, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Respiratory and abdominal infections were risk factors for death in patients with ED sepsis. Conclusions:The composition ratio of sepsis in ED patients is not regular in time, so vigilance of sepsis in elderly men and patients with respiratory system, blood system, urinary system and abdominal infections should be constantly raised. Patients with sepsis who are older, hospitalized more frequently, hospitalized for a shorter time, and infected in the respiratory system or abdomen have a higher risk of death.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of yunaconitine on myocardial injury in rats and its mechanism related to mitochondrial apoptosis pathway rats. METHODS Forty SD rats were divided into normal group (normal saline), yunaconitine high-dose and low-dose groups(0.14, 0.09 mg/kg)and aconitine group (positive control, 0.88 mg/kg) by random number method, with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 7 days. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum as well as the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in myocardial tissue were detected. The pathomorphological changes of myocardium and ultrastructural changes of myocardial mitochondria were all observed. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was determined. The protein relative expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3 were determined in myocardium of rats. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB and MDA, the apoptotic numbers of cardiomyocytes, the level of ROS and protein expression of caspase-3 in myocardium were increased significantly in yunaconitine high-dose and low- dose groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01); serum level of SOD and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in myocardium were all decreased significantly (P< 0.01); the protein relative expressions of caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3 in myocardium were significantly increased in yunaconitine high-dose group (P<0.05); some pathomorphological changes were found in 2 groups, such as myocardial fiber disorder, mitochondrial swelling. CONCLUSIONS Yunacotine could cause myocardial injury in rats. Its mechanism might be related to destroying the integrity of cardiomyocyte membrane, causing oxidative stress of cardiomyocyte, and inducing the apoptosis of myocardial cells through mitochondrial pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To study the toxicity mechanism of yunacotine-induced arrhythmia in rats. METHODS :Totally 32 rats were randomly divided by random number table method into normal control group ,yunacotine low-dose and high-dose groups (0.09,0.14 mg/kg),aconitine group (positive control ,0.88 mg/kg),with 8 rats in each group. Administration groups were given the corresponding drugs once a day ,and normal control group was given the constant volume of normal saline ,for consecutive 7 d. After last intragastric administration ,the changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) were observed. The contents of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)in myocardial tissue and Ca 2+ in myocardial cells ,the activities of Na +-K+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase as well as the protein expression of ranolidine receptor 2(RyR2)and Ca 2+-ATPase(SERCA2)in myocardial tissue were determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group ,time limit of QRS wave and QTc intervals of rats were prolonged significantly in yunaconitine low-dose group (P<0.01). The content of Ca 2 + in myocardial cells , the ATP contents , the activities of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na +-K+-ATPase as well as the protein expression of SERCA 2 in myocardial tissue were reduced significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The heart rate of rats in yunaconitine high-dose group and aconitine group were increased significantly (P< 0.05 or P<0.01),and time limit of QRS wave and QTc intervals were significantly prolonged (P<0.01);the content of Ca 2+ in myocardial cells was increased significantly (P<0.01);ATP content ,the activities of Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na +-K+-ATPase,and protein expression of RyR 2 and SERCA 2 in myocardial tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS : Yunaconitine can induce arrhythmia in rats ,the mechanism of which may be associated with Ca 2+ overload that resulted from reducing the activities of Na +-K+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase and down-regulating the expression of related calcium transporter RyR2 and SERCA 2.
