Objective To study the microscopic structure and morphological characteristics of Zebrafish eyeball and retina at different developmental stages, and to lay a foundation for visual research model. Methods Select eight groups of zebrafish at different ages, with six fish in each group, 48 fish in total. Optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the eyeball structure of Zebrafish at different developmental stages, and the thickness of retinal each layer was measured to analyze the temporal and spatial development pattern. The morphological characteristics of various cells in the retina and the way of nerve connection were observed from the microscopic and ultrastructural aspects, especially the structural differences between rod cells and cone cells. Results The retina of Zebrafish can be divided into ten layers including retinal pigment epithelial layer, rod cells and cone cells layer, outer limiting membrane, outer nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, inner plexiform layer, ganglion cell layer, nerve fiber layer, inner limiting membrane. Rod cells had a smaller nucleus and a higher electron density than cone cells. Photoreceptor terminals were neatly arranged in the outer plexiform layer, forming neural connections with horizontal cells and bipolar cells, and several synaptic ribbons are clearly visible within them. In Zebrafish retina, ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer are the earliest developed. With the growth and development of Zebrafish, the thickness of rod cells and cone cells layer and retinal pigment epithelial layer gradually increases, and the retinal structure was basically developed in about 10 weeks. Conclusion The retinal structure of Zebrafish is typical, with obvious stratification and highly differentiated nerve cells. There are abundant neural connections in the outer plexiform layer. The ocular development characteristics of Zebrafish are similar to those of most mammals.

BACKGROUND:Clinical skin wound healing continues to be a significant concern,and tissue repair research has moved to the forefront with the development of biomaterials with immunomodulatory properties.Therefore,it is crucial to research wound dressings that have immunomodulatory properties. OBJECTIVE:To prepare chitosan hydrogels that have been modified by arginine with different configurations and assess their capacity to speed up wound healing in a rat animal model. METHODS:(1)In vitro trial:Chitosan modified by pure L-arginine,pure D-arginine,and L-arginine and D-arginine was synthesized by EDC/NHS system,which was then crosslinked with aldehyde-modified four-arm polyethylene glycol.Different chitosan-based hydrogels(CS-L,CS-D,and CS-DL)were finally formed via the Schiff base reaction.Three kinds of hydrogel extracts were co-cultured with fibroblasts respectively.Hydrogel cytocompatibility was assessed using the CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining.The effect of hydrogel on the migration capacity of fibroblasts was assessed by using a scratch test.Three kinds of hydrogels were incubated with rat erythrocyte suspension respectively to evaluate the hemocompatibility of the hydrogels.The hydrogel extract was co-cultured with RAW264.7 macrophages to test the hydrogels'capacity to enhance macrophage NO generation and polarize macrophage phenotype.(2)In vivo experiment:A total of 36 adult SD rats were divided into 4 groups with 9 rats in each group by the random number table method.Two full-layer skin defect wounds of 2 cm×2 cm were made on the back of each rat.Normal saline was added to the wounds of the control group,and corresponding hydrogel was added to the wounds of the CS-L,CS-D,and CS-DL groups,respectively,and then bandaged and fixed.The wound healing was observed regularly after operation.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed at 3,10,and 21 days after operation.The samples were collected 10 days after operation and M2 macrophage immunofluorescence staining was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro experiments:Under scanning electron microscopy,the three kinds of hydrogels exhibited obvious interpenetrating network structures with pore sizes ranging from 70-200 μm.The three kinds of hydrogels have good swelling performance,degradation performance,self-healing performance,and suitable mechanical strength.The three kinds of hydrogels had good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility and could promote the migration of fibroblasts.All three kinds of hydrogels had the ability to promote the polarization of macrophages,and CS-D hydrogels had the strongest ability to promote the polarization of macrophages.CS-L hydrogel could significantly promote the production of NO in macrophages.(2)In vivo experiment:3 and 10 days after operation,the wound healing rate in the CS-L and CS-D groups was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After 21 days,the wound healing rate of the three hydrogel groups was higher than that of the control group.Hematoxylin-eosin staining displayed that a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated in the wound tissue of rats in all groups,accompanied by neovessels and fibroblasts 3 days after operation.10 days after operation,there was still more inflammatory cell infiltration in the wound of the control group,and the inflammation of the other three groups was improved,especially the decrease of inflammatory cells in the CS-D group was more obvious.21 days after operation,the wound epithelium of each group was well repaired,and there was basically no inflammatory cell infiltration in the CS-L and CS-D groups,while there was still a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration in the control group.Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the number of M2-type macrophages in the CS-D group was higher than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).(3)The results conclude that chitosan hydrogels modified by different configurations of arginine can promote wound healing through different mechanisms.

Objective:To evaluate the initial clinical outcome of applying a comprehensive debulking procedure centered on the digital and plantar flaps with comparatively healthy proximal pedicle to reconstruct the hypertrophic toes and forefoots in one-stage surgery in multiple toes macrodactyly in children.Methods:The clinical data of children with macrodactyly deformity treated by the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2022 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Design toe and plantar arbitrary flaps with a few vascular perforating branches which pedicle at the comparatively healthy proximal side and resect all tissues beyond the normal length. In severe toe, a composite tissue nail-flap with the artery was dissected to reconstruct the toenail. Fat debulking on the surface of deep plantar fascia as well as within the osseofascial sheath, resecting partially of the fatty infiltrated nerve, transverse and longitudinal osteotomy to shorten and narrowed phalanxes without epiphyseal block, arthroplasty and flexor tendon tightening were performed. Finally, toes shaped by wrapping toe flaps, and pelmas restored by plantar flaps which both with comparatively healthy proximal pedicle. The operation time, healing time, and whether the toes and toenails are preserved were all recorded. The maximum circumference of both foot, the difference in shoe size, the presence of skin ulcers, wound scars, toe webbing morphology, the presence of basic sensation, and the satisfaction of parents were followed-up after surgery. The modified follow-up questionnaire was used to evaluate the surgical effect, the total score is 0-12 points, and the higher the score, the better the surgical outcome. Descriptive methods was used for statistical analysis, and the measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as Mean±SD.Results:A total of 15 patients were enrolled, including 11 males and 4 females. The median age at the time of operation was 2.75 years (0.9-10.8 years). There were 11 cases with 2 toes and 4 cases with 3 toes, a total of 34 toes involved. The average surgical duration was 4.13 hours (3.25 hours for 2 toes and 5.00 hours for 3 toes). Only one severe case with 3 toes involved was amputated the biggest toe ray and totally 2 toe nail flaps were harvested unsuccessfully intraoperative. Except 3 toes had distal skin partially necrosis and 2 nail flaps were completely necrotic which healed after dressing changes, the rest of the toes were healing well after operation. The average follow-up time was 4.8 months (3-11 months), the difference of circumference was less than 1.5 cm, as well as in length was less than 0.5 cm between feet and all children were able to wear the appropriate shoes with same size. A total of 4 toes failed to retain toenails, and 1 had a very thin toenail. Except for one case with insufficient web depth, the other toe webs were close to normal. There was no skin ulcer occurred, the basic sensation of the feet was present, and wound scars were inconspicuous. The score of the modified questionnaire was 10.54±0.88, all parents were satisfied with the results.Conclusion:Comprehensive procedure centered on the digital and plantar flaps with comparatively healthy proximal pedicle for debulking multiple toes macrodactyly in children could completely excise distal hypertrophic tissues in a single operation, and the size of the affected feet and toes can be greatly reduced to wearing shoes of the same size, and have a high success rate in preserving the toes, as well as nails. The reconstructed feet, toes and toe webbing have near-normal morphology, hidden scar, no ulcers after walked and achieve a good initial effect.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To investigate the causal correlation between depression and stress urinary incontinence(SUI)using Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods:We searched the FinnGen Consortium database for genome-wide association studies(GWAS)on depression and obtained 23 424 case samples and 192 220 control samples,with the GWAS data on SUI provided by the UK Biobank,including 4 340 case samples and 458 670 control samples.We investigated the correlation between depression and SUI based on the depression data collected from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium(PGC).We employed inverse-variance weighting as the main method for the MR study,and performed sensitivity analysis to verify the accuracy and stability of the findings.Results:Analysis of the data from the UK Biobank and FinnGen Consortium showed that depression was significantly correlated with an increased risk of SUI(P=0.005),but not SUI with the risk of depression(P=0.927).And analysis of the PGC data verified the correlation of depression with the increased risk of SUI(P=0.043).Conclusion:Depression is associated with an increased risk of SUI,while SUI does not increase the risk of depression.

Objective To explore the postmortem diffusion rule of Aconitum alkaloids and their metabo-lites in poisoned rabbits,and to provide a reference for identifying the antemortem poisoning or post-mortem poisoning of Aconitum alkaloids.Methods Twenty-four rabbits were sacrificed by tracheal clamps.After 1 hour,the rabbits were administered with aconitine LD50 in decocting aconite root powder by intragastric administration.Then,they were placed supine and stored at 25℃.The biological samples from 3 randomly selected rabbits were collected including heart blood,peripheral blood,urine,heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney tissues at 0 h,4 h,8 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h and 96 h after intragastric administration,respectively.Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites in the biological samples were ana-lyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS).Results At 4 h after intragastric administration,Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites could be detected in heart blood,peripheral blood and major organs,and the contents of them changed dynamically with the preservation time.The contents of Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites were higher in the spleen,liver and lung,especially in the spleen which was closer to the stomach.The average mass fraction of benzoylmesaconine metabolized in rabbit spleen was the highest at 48 h after intragastric administration.In contrast,the contents of Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites in kidney were all lower.Aconi-tum alkaloids and their metabolites were not detected in urine.Conclusion Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites have postmortem diffusion in poisoned rabbits,diffusing from high-content organs(stomach)to other major organs and tissues as well as the heart blood.The main mechanism is the dispersion along the concentration gradient,while urine is not affected by postmortem diffusion,which can be used as the basis for the identification of antemortem and postmortem Aconitum alkaloids poisoning.
