Amblyopia is a common visual development disorder and is the main cause of monocular vision impairment in children and adults. Photobiomodulation(PBM), a non-invasive treatment method, has gradually gained attention in the field of ophthalmology. This paper begins with the macroscopic manifestation of light on the animal model of amblyopia. Additionally, it discusses the pathological changes of the amblyopic retina and the human eye's central nervous system, as well as the influence and mechanism of PBM on the visual perception and processing system and its chemical effect on the visual system through dopamine and melatonin. It examines its mechanism of action, current clinical application status, and future development direction in order to provide new ideas and theoretical foundation for amblyopia treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of menaquinone-4(MK4)on the activation and function of CD8+T cells.Methods An in vitro culture system for primary mouse CD8+T cells was established by isolating these cells from the spleen using CD8a T cell isolation kit.The isolated CD8+T cells were then incubated and activated in a 96-well plate coated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies.The impact of MK4 on the activation and cytokine secretion of CD8+T cells was explored by quantifying the expression levels of CD8+T cell activation receptors and cytokines using flow cytometry.Additionally,the concentrations of these cytokines in the culture supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The influence of MK4 on the anti-tumor function of CD8+T cells was evaluated by co-culturing colorectal cancer MC38 cells of mice with CD8+T cells at different ratios,and the effect of MK4 was assessed by detecting tumor cell apoptosis.Results High-purity primary CD8+T cells of mice(97.5％)were isolated using the magnetic bead,which could be activated by pre-coated CD3/CD28 antibodies and showed proliferation.Compared with the control group,the MK4-treated group exhibited increased expressions of CD25,CD69 and CD44 on CD8+T cells,as well as higher production and secretion levels of interleukin-2(IL-2),interferon-γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and granzyme B.In addition,CD8+T cells in the MK4-treated group induced a higher percentage of tumor cell apoptosis(36.7％)compared with the control group(29.1％).Conclusion MK4 can enhance the activation of CD8+T cells and promote anti-tumor functions.

Objective:To analyze the short and mid-term efficacy of aortic valvuloplasty with autopericardium on children with aortic valve diseases.Methods:A total of 26 children with aortic valve diseases (stenosis or regurgitation) who underwent aortic valvuloplasty with autopericardium in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from September 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The short-term and mid-term follow-up data were collected.The maximum aortic valve pressure gradient, subaortic regurgitation area, left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared before and after operation.Paired t test was used to analyze the short-term and mid-term efficacy of aortic valvuloplasty with autopericardium on children with aortic valve diseases. Results:All 26 cases were successfully operated, and there were no deaths and serious complications during the follow-up period of (22.96±6.45) months.There was a significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative maximum aortic valve pressure gradient at 1 month ( t=7.85, P<0.05), 6 months ( t=6.43, P<0.05), 1 year ( t=6.16, P<0.05) and 2 years postoperatively ( t=4.22, P<0.05) in children with aortic stenosis or that combined with mild-to-moderate closure.The follow-up data of 9 children with simple aortic stenosis showed that there was a significant difference between the preoperative (8.87±3.57) cm 2 and postoperative aortic regurgitation area at 1 month ( t=6.85, P<0.05), 6 months ( t=5.13, P<0.05), 1 year ( t=6.62, P<0.05) and 2 years postoperatively ( t=5.41, P<0.05). The LVEDV of 26 children was significantly lower at 6 months[(63.54±27.61) mL], 1 year [(53.61±20.20) mL] and 2 years postoperatively [(64.39±17.78) mL] compared with that of preoperative level[(89.42±45.89) mL]( t=3.89, 4.67, 3.58, all P<0.05). The left ventricular pressure and volume decreased, the enlarged heart was narrowed down, and the geometry of the heart was restored.The LVEF of 26 patients also from (61.65±9.67)% before surgery increased to (67.88±4.69)% 6 months after surgery( t=3.68, P<0.05), and increased to (68.62±4.46)% 1 year after surgery( t=4.01, P<0.05), and increased to (67.55±3.09)% 2 years after operation( t=3.01, P<0.05), and the heart function was improved. Conclusions:Aortic valvuloplasty with autopericardium presents an effective short and mid-term efficacy on children with aortic valve diseases, which prevents or delays the aortic valve replacement.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect of modified Shengmaisan on cardiac function in elderly patients with myocardial infarction based on the nuclear factor-κB/induction nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide （NF-κB/iNOS/NO） signaling pathway. MethodA total of 136 elderly patients with myocardial infarction treated in Qinghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from december 2019 to december 2021 were included. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group， with 68 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine， and the observation group was treated with conventional western medicine + modified Shengmaisan. Both groups were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention for revascularization. The indexes related to cardiac function and levels of serum interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9） were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The echocardiographic index， cardiac function classification， changes in the NF-κB/iNOS/NO signaling pathway， oxidative stress indexes， and major adverse cardiovascular events （MACE） of the two groups were compared. ResultCompared with those before treatment， the levels of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide （NT-pro BNP）， serum inflammatory indexes， left ventricular end systolic volume （LVESV）， left ventricular end diastolic volume （LVEDV）， NO， iNOS， NF-κB p65， and methane dicarboxylic aldehyde （MDA） were significantly reduced （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and superoxide dismutase (SOD） were significantly increased （P<0.05）. After treatment， as compared with the control group， the levels of NT-pro BNP， serum inflammatory indexes， LVESV， LVEDV， NO， iNOS， NF-κB p65， and MDA in the observation group were significantly reduced （P<0.05）， and those of LVEF and SOD were significantly increased （P<0.05）. There was no significant difference in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification between two groups. The incidence of MACE in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionModified Shengmaisan can significantly reduce NT-pro BNP and levels of serum inflammatory indexes in elderly patients with myocardial infarction， improve echocardiographic indexes， regulate the NF-κB/iNOS/NO signaling pathway， and reduce the oxidative stress index and the incidence of MACE， which has a good protective effect on cardiac function.
