AIM:To analyze the influencing factors of visual outcome after vitrectomy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy(PCV)combined with vitreous hemorrhage and establish a predictive model.METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 129 cases(129 eyes)of patients who underwent vitrectomy for PCV combined with vitreous hemorrhage from June 2021 to January 2024 in our hospital. They were divided into elevated group(71 eyes)and non-elevated group(58 eyes)according to visual outcome at early posoperative stage(within 24 mo). Another 30 cases(30 eyes)of PCV with vitreous hemorrhage undergoing vitrectomy were selected as external validation data. The predictive value of the model for the postoperative visual outcomes of both internal and external populations was evaluated.RESULTS: The non-elevated group had a higher proportion of patients aged ≥60 years, diabetes, continuous abnormalities of the ellipsoid zone(EZ)during surgery, bleeding involving the macular fovea, and postoperative retinal scar formation than the elevated group were independent factors affecting postoperative visual acuity(all P<0.05). The AUC of the predictive model for predicting the postoperative visual outcomes of internal and external populations was 0.824(95%CI: 0.750-0.898)and 0.809(95%CI: 0.723-0.865), respectively.CONCLUSION:Patients aged ≥60 years, diabetes, intraoperative continuous abnormalities of EZ, bleeding involving the macular fovea, and postoperative retinal scar formation are influencing factors for visual outcome after vitrectomy in patients with PCV combined with vitreous hemorrhage. A predictive model based on those factors has been established, which has a certain predictive value for postoperative visual outcome.

In order to ensure the safety and efficacy of generic drugs for the substitution of narrow therapeutic index(NTI)drugs,and to improve and optimize China's generic drug substitution policy,we searched foreign literature databases and government websites to collect and sort out the typical measures taken by some foreign countries to ensure the safety and efficacy of generic drugs for the substitution of NTI drugs,including R&D registration,generic drug substitution and post-market surveillance.On the basis of comparative analysis,this paper summarizes the practices China can learn from.It can be seen that there are problems and challenges in China's generic drug substitution for NTI drugs,such as unclear targets for bioequivalence studies of NTI drugs,insufficient rational decision-making basis for generic substitution of NTI drugs,and imperfect post-market surveillance system,etc.It is recommended that we should formulate a list of NTI drugs,play the roles of physicians and pharmacists in generic drug substitution,adjust the generic drug substitution for NTI drugs according to the level of risk of drug use,and improve the reporting system for adverse reactions due to generic drug substitution.

Objective To analyze the influence of trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on ser-um angiopoietin-2(Ang-2)and chitinase protein 40(YKL-40)levels and ultrasound parameters in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris(UAP).Methods A total of 133 elderly UAP pa-tients admitted in Hospital of the 81st Group of PLA Army from January 2021 to March 2024 were enrolled,and according to their treatment methods,they were divided into control group(64 cases,simple atorvastatin)and trimetazidine group(69 cases,atorvastatin+trimetazidine).After 4 weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy was observed in the two groups.Seattle Angina Question-naire(SAQ)score and nitroglycerin dosage,lipid metabolic indicators(TC,TG,LDL-C and HDL-C),cardiac ultrasound parameters[LVEF,LVEDD and left ventricle mass index(LVMI)],serum in-dicators[Ang-2,YKL-40 and von Willebrand factor(vWF),matrix metallo proteinase-9(MMP-9)]were compared between the two groups before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment.The ad-verse reactions during treatment were also recorded in the two groups.Results The total effective rate was significantly higher in the trimetazidine group than the control group(84.06％vs 67.19％,P＜0.05).The SAQ score,HDL-C level and LVEF value were significantly risen in the two groups after treatment(P＜0.05),and these indicators were obviously higher in the trimetaz-idine group than the control group(P＜0.01).The nitroglycerin dosage,levels of TC,TG and LDL-C,LVEDD and LVMI values and serum contents of Ang-2,YKL-40,vWF and MMP-9 were significantly reduced in the two groups after treatment when compared with those before treat-ment(P＜0.05),and these indicators in the trimetazidine group were lower than those in the con-trol group(P＜0.01).There was no statistical difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin can en-hance the efficacy and improve the lipid metabolism and cardiac function in the treatment of elder-ly UAP patients,which might be due to down-regulating the serum levels of Ang-2,YKL-40,vWF and MMP-9.

Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM), also known as Jeavons syndrome, is a type of genetic generalized epilepsy officially recognized by the International League Against Epilepsy. The clinical characteristics of EEM include eyelid myoclonia, eye closure sensitivity, and photosensitivity, typically manifesting in childhood with a higher prevalence in female patients. The prognosis of EEM is poor, and seizures are difficult to fully control even with standardized drug treatment. The electroencephalogram of EEM often shows fast interictal multiple spike-wave complexes, which can be induced by eye closure or photic stimulation. Functional magnetic resonance imaging and other studies have found that EEM is associated with brain network abnormalities, particularly the key role of the central medial thalamic nucleus in the regulation of cortical excitability. Genetic research has found that EEM may be related to variations in genes such as CHD2, SYNGAP1, NEXMIF, RORB, and GABRA1.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between resilience, perceived social support, and adaptability in military freshmen.Methods:A total of 195 freshmen were randomly selected from a military medical university. The Chinese version of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and a self-test questionnaire of college students' psychological adaptability were used to investigate their resilience, perceived social support, and adaptability. SPSS 26.0 was used to perform an independent samples t-test and a Pearson correlation analysis to analyze the differences in these scores between freshmen with different demographic characteristics and the correlation between these scores. By using the PROCESS plug-in, a structural equation model was used to analyze the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between social support and psychological adaptation, which was further tested using the Bootstrap method. Results:The independent samples t-test showed that females had a significantly higher score of other support than males ( t = -2.05, P = 0.041), and student leaders had significantly higher scores of family support and other support, total score of social support, and score in psychological adaptability than other students (all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations between the scores of PSSS and its each item, CD-RISC, and self-test of college students' psychological adaptability (all P<0.05). The structural equation model showed that resilience partially mediated the relationship between social support and psychological adaptation, and the Bootstrap method revealed a significant indirect effect (95%CI: 0.102-0.253). Conclusion:Resilience plays a partial mediating role between perceived social support and adaptability in military freshmen. They should be guided to correctly perceive external support and develop strong resilience.

Marine microorganisms, especially marine fungi, have historically proven their value as a prolific source for structurally novel and pharmacologically active secondary metabolites (Deshmukh et al., 2018; Carroll et al., 2022). The corals constitute a dominant part of reefs with the highest biodiversity, and harbor highly diverse and abundant microbial symbionts in their tissue, skeleton, and mucus layer, with species-specific core members that are spatially partitioned across coral microhabitats (Wang WQ et al., 2022). The coral-associated fungi were very recently found to be vital producers of structurally diverse compounds, terpenes, alkaloids, peptides, aromatics, lactones, and steroids. They demonstrate a wide range of bioactivity such as anticancer, antimicrobial, and antifouling activity (Chen et al., 2022). The genetically powerful genus Emericella (Ascomycota), which has marine and terrestrial sources, includes over 30 species and is distributed worldwide. It is considered a rich source of diverse secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity or cytotoxicity (Alburae et al., 2020). Notably, Emericella nidulans, the sexual state of a classic biosynthetic strain Aspergillus nidulans, was recently reported as an important source of highly methylated polyketides (Li et al., 2019) and isoindolone-containing meroterpenoids (Zhou et al., 2016) with unusual skeletons.

Abstract The incidence of myopia in children and adolescents has increased in recent years, with an earlier onset trend. During the same time, sleep problems are prevalent in children and adolescents, including insufficient sleep duration and delayed sleep timing. Sleep, as a cyclical life activity influenced by the circadian rhythm, plays an important role in eye growth and refractive development. This review examines the associations between sleep, circadian rhythm, and occurrence of myopia in children and adolescents across human and animal studies, and discusses the underlying biological processes, so as to offer scientific justification for the prevention of myopia in children and adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the level of psychological stress, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of military medical students under the condition of normalized prevention and control of the epidemic.Methods:A total of 225 students from a military university were selected by random sampling method. Chinese perceived stress scale (CPSS), Perceived social support scale (PSSS), Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5) were used to measure the mental health of the subjects and influencing factors. SPSS 26.0 was used to conduct independent sample t test and ANOVA analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted, and multiple regression equation was used to further analyze the relationship between psychometric factors. Results:The SAS scores of 22.2% (50/225) of the subjects and PCL-5 scores of 30.7% (69/225) of the subjects reached the positive standard. The results of correlation analysis showed that the total score of PSSS was negatively correlated with CPSS ( r=-0.315, P<0.01), SAS ( r=-0.336, P<0.01) and PCL-5 ( r=-0.137, P<0.05) scores. The score of family support negatively predicted the level of psychological stress ( B=-0.595, P<0.001), anxiety ( B=-0.635, P<0.001) and PTSD level ( B=-0.769, P=0.006) of the students. Conclusion:Social support, especially family support, has a significant protective effect on psychological stress, anxiety and PTSD during the period of normalized prevention and control of the epidemic.
