AIM: To investigate the abnormal conditions and change patterns of accommodative facility in patients with different refractive states before and after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)surgery.METHODS:A prospective clinical cohort study was conducted. A total of 59 patients(118 eyes)who underwent SMILE surgery and had visual function files established in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly selected, including 37 males and 22 females, aged 18-35 years(with an average age of 25.19±5.65 years). According to the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE), they were divided into two groups: the low-to-moderate myopia group(SE≥-6.00 DS)with 40 patients(80 eyes), and the high myopia group(SE<-6.00 DS)with 19 patients(38 eyes). The monocular and binocular accommodative facility before surgery and at 1 wk and 1 mo after surgery were compared, and the changes in accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery in the two groups of patients were analyzed.RESULTS:All surgeries were completed successfully. In the low-to-moderate myopia group, 33 cases(66 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 17.5%(7/40). In the high myopia group, 15 patients(30 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 21.1%(4/19). After SMILE surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity and SE of both low-to-moderate myopia and high myopia were significantly improved(all P<0.05). The accommodative facility of the right eyes in all the patients at 1 mo after surgery was better than that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.002, 0.006), the accommodative facility of the left eyes was significantly increased at 1 mo after surgery than that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.005), and the binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly increased compared with that before surgery(P<0.017). Furthermore, there were statistical significance in accommodative facility of the right eyes in the low-to-moderate group at 1 mo compared with that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.011, 0.004); it was significantly increased in the left eyes at 1 mo after surgery compared with that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.001), and binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.001). Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the right, left and binocular accommodative facility of patients in the high myopia group(all P>0.017).CONCLUSION: After SMILE surgery, the monocular accommodative facility shows a transient decrease and then exceeds the preoperative level at 1 mo after surgery, and the binocular accommodative facility gradually improves after surgery. SMILE surgery has a positive impact on the monocular and binocular accommodative facility in patients with low-to-moderate myopia, but has no significant impact on the accommodative facility in patients with high myopia. It is of clinical significance to strengthen the detection of monocular and binocular accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery.

AIM: To analyze the changes in binocular visual function before and after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)in patients with different degrees of myopia.METHODS:A prospective non-randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 94 patients(188 eyes)who visited the refractive outpatient department of the ophthalmology department of the General Hospital of the PLA from June 2022 to June 2023 and voluntarily chose SMILE were consecutively included. They were grouped according to the degree of myopia, including 24 cases(48 eyes)in the low myopia group(-3.00 D

Pre-admission is a critical initiative to optimize medical service processes and alleviate the challenge of "difficult access to healthcare. "However, there is currently a lack of standardized protocols for pre-admission procedures. This study aims to systematically analyze key nodes and risk factors in pre-admission process design and propose optimization strategies, providing a foundation for policy formulation and hospital practices. By constructing a "forward-reverse" dual-process model of pre-admission and identifying risk points based on stakeholder theory (patients, hospitals, healthcare administration, and insurance), the study reveals that while pre-admission can reduce the average length of stay, improve bed turnover rates, and enhance patient satisfaction, it also presents risks such as cross-period financial settlement, challenges in insurance policy adaptability, demands for information system integration, and the need for defining medical safety boundaries. To optimize the pre-admission process and mitigate these risks, this study explores framework improvements in areas including eligibility criteria, mode selection, cost settlement, transition between pre-admission and inpatient status, and cancellation of pre-admission, offering practical guidance for public hospitals. The authors argue that pre-admission requires tripartite collaboration among hospitals, insurers, and healthcare administrations: hospitals should establish top-level design, continuously refine processes, and implement dynamic risk assessment mechanisms; insurance providers should support cross-period settlement policies; and healthcare administrations should issue guiding policies or standardized protocols. Through multi-department coordination and collaborative efforts, the optimization and innovation of pre-admission processes can be advanced, ultimately delivering more efficient and convenient healthcare experiences for patients.

Objective To comapre and analyze the differences and commonalities of expression profiles of serum exosomal microRNA between patients with thyroid nodules and healthy persons at different iodine levels,and then provide evidence for screening early diag-nostic markers of thyroid nodules at different iodine levels.Methods The peripheral blood samples from 10 patients with thyroid nod-ules and healthy volunteers at different iodine levels were collected.Their serum iodine levels were measured by the arsenic cerium cat-alytic spectrophotometry.Serum exosomal microRNA were extracted and the expression levels of microRNA were determined by the high-throughput sequencing technology.The differential target genes were predicted and further performed Gene ontology(GO)analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis.Results Compared with healthy volunteers,there were 6 downreg-ulated miRNAs in the patients with thyroid nodules at different iodine levels,namely miR-324-5p,miR-6511b-3p,miR-9903,miR-550a-3p,miR-5001-3p,and miR-3688-3p.Differentially expressed exosomal microRNA could regulate the MAPK signaling path-way,PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,and NF-κB signaling pathway.Conclusion Six differentially expressed microRNAs is identified,which may serve as biological markers for the early diagnosis of thyroid nodules at different iodine levels.

Chronic heart failure(CHF)is a common and frequent clinical condition with complex pathogenesis.The micro-inflammatory state exists in the development of CHF and is manifested by a continuous increase in inflammatory proteins and inflammatory cytokines in the circulation,affecting the body's metabolism and immune function.Micro-inflammatory state of CHF belongs to the syndrome of deficiency in nature and excess in superficiality in the TCM field.The basic pathogenesis of CHF is"deficiency qi retention";the nature is the deficiency of heart energy and the superficiality is retention of qi,blood stagnation,phlegm,water and dampness,with"deficiency,stagnation and water"running throughout the disease.Therefore,based on the theory of"deficiency qi retention",this article took"reinforcing deficiency and removing stagnation"as its basic treatment method,regulated the body's immunity and inflammatory indicators such as serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,tumor necrosis factor-α,in order to alleviate the micro-inflammatory state,which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of CHF.

Objective:To explore the effects of aerobic exercise on learning and memory functions, hippocampal synaptic plasticity and the ADPN signaling pathway in diabetic rats.Methods:6-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into a blank control group(NC group)and a high-fat diet group, and a rat model for diabetes was induced by feeding rats in the high-fat diet group with a high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal instillation of low-dose streptozotocin(STZ)for 5 weeks.Rats in the high-fat diet group were further divided into a diabetic group(DC group)and a diabetic aerobic exercise group(DM group)after successful establishment of the model.Rats in the DM group were subjected to aerobic exercise for eight weeks and then the Morris water maze test was conducted to assess learning and memory functions, relevant serum markers were measured, Golgi staining was used to examine synaptic changes in the hippocampus, and Western blot was carried out to detect hippocampal protein expression levels of adiponectin(ADPN), AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK), glucose transporter 4(GLUT4), synaptic plasticity-related protein synaptophysin(SYN)and postsynaptic density protein 95(PSD-95)for rats in each group.Results:Serum FBG and HBA1c in diabetic rats were markedly significantly decreased after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise( P<0.01), and serum ADPN and insulin were significantly increased after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise( P<0.05).When test results from the three groups of rats compared, the F value was 69.248 for FBG, 6.740 for INS, 7.017 for HBA1C and 14.315 for serum ADPN.The results of the water maze test and hippocampal Golgi staining showed that the escape latency of diabetic rats was highly significantly decreased after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise( P<0.01).The platform crossing times, the number of dendritic branches and the dendritic spine density in the hippocampal CA3 region of diabetic rats were significantly increased after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise( P<0.05).When results from the three groups of rats were compared, the F value was 13.934 for escape latency, 5.864 for platform crossing times, 9.307 and 6.734 for the number of dendritic branches and the density of dendritic spine in hippocampal CA3 region.Hippocampal PSD-95, SYN, ADPN, p-AMPK, and GLUT4 protein expression levels of diabetic rats were significantly increased( P<0.05)after 8 weeks of aerobic exercise.When results from the three groups of rats were compared, the F value was 15.137 for SYN, 5.415 for PSD-95, 9.687 for ADPN, 27.761 for GLUT4, and 9.298 for p-AMPK. Conclusions:Eight weeks of aerobic exercise can improve the learning and memory functions of diabetic rats, and the mechanisms may be related to exercise-induced hippocampal ADPN/AMPK/GLUT4 signaling activation in rats, leading to enhanced synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.

Retinitis pigmentosa(RP)is a degenerative blinding disease characterized by the loss of the function of photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium. The activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress is a cellular defense regulatory mechanism, aimed at restoring the stability of endoplasmic reticulum function by self-regulation through a series of molecular signaling pathways. Rhodopsin mutation is a common cause of RP. Misfolding and retention of rhodopsin in endoplasmic reticulum and apoptosis of photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cells induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress can lead to the occurrence and development of RP. This paper discusses endoplasmic reticulum stress and its role in the pathogenesis of RP and the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitors, traditional Chinese medicine and chemical drugs in regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress in RP treatment was summarized, in order to provide theoretical basis for endoplasmic reticulum stress in the clinical application of RP and provide new ideas for the research, prevention and treatment of RP.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Ziyin Mingmu Formula （滋阴明目方） on retinitis pigmentosa mice and its possible mechanism. MethodsSixty rd10 mice were randomly divided into model group， vitamin A group， and Ziyin Mingmu Formula low-， medium-， and high-dose groups， 12 mice in each group； twelve C57BL/6 mice as the blank group. The mice in Ziyin Mingmu Formula low-， medium-， and high-dose groups were given 13.5， 27.0 and 54.0 g/（kg·d） of Ziyin Mingmu Formula by gavage， respectively； mice in the Vitamin A group were given 750 IU/（kg·d） of vitamin A soft capsule by gavage； mice in the blank group and model group were given 13.5 ml/（kg·d） of physiological saline by gavage. Each group was gavaged once a day for 28 days. Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography were used to detect the morphology of the fundus and retina， TUNEL method was used to detect apoptosis， microtitre digital PCR and immunofluorescence double staining were used to detect glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）， inositol-requiring enzyme 1 （IRE1）， activated transcription factor 6 （ATF6）， and C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP） mRNA and protein expression levels. ResultsIn the model group， optic discs were yellowish， fundus was atrophic with large pigmentation. The retinal blood vessels were thinned， a large number of vascular white sheaths were seen， the retinal cell nuclei disorganised， and a large number of apoptotic cells were seen； the fundus conditions of the mice in all dosages of Ziyin Mingmu Formula and the vitamin A group were improved to varying degrees compared with those of the model group， the apoptotic cells reduced， with Ziyin Mingmu Formula middle- and high-dose groups showing more significant improvement. Compared with the blank group， the retinal thickness of mice in the model group reduced， and the expression of GRP78， IRE1， ATF6， CHOP mRNA and protein elevated （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， retinal thickness increased and GRP78， IRE1， ATF6 mRNA and protein expression decreased in the vitamin A group and Ziyin Mingmu Formula medium- and high-dose groups； CHOP mRNA and protein expression decreased in low-， medium-， and high-dose groups of Ziyin Mingmu Formula （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with vitamin A group and the low-dose group of Ziyin Mingmu Formula， retinal thickness increased in the high-dose group of Ziyin Mingmu Formula （P＜0.01）. Compared with vitamin A group， GRP78， ATF6， IRE1， and CHOP mRNA expression decreased in the medium- and high-dose groups of Ziyin Mingmu Formula， and GRP78 and CHOP protein expression decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the low-dose group of Ziyin Mingmu Formula， CHOP protein expression reduced in the medium- and high-dose groups of Ziyin Mingmu Formula （P＜0.01）.

Objective:To explore the effects of the immune responses mediated by topological structures of three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds on hair follicle cycle in mice.Methods:The study was an experimental research. The alginate-gelatin composite hydrogels were printed into scaffolds using a three-dimensional bioprinter and named T45 scaffolds, T60 scaffolds, and T90 scaffolds according to the 3 topological structures of the scaffolds (the rotation angles of the printhead during printing were 45°, 60°, and 90°, respectively), and the morphology of the three scaffolds was observed after cross-linking by naked eyes. Nine 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were divided into T45 group, T60 group, and T90 group, according to the random number table, with three mice in each group, and the T45, T60, and T90 scaffolds were subcutaneously implanted on the back of mice, respectively. On post implantation day (PID) 7, the hair growth in the dorsal depilated area of mice was observed, the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression levels of CD68, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds were observed by immunofluorescence staining. The samples of the above experiments were all 3.Results:The topological structures of the three scaffolds were all clear with high fidelity after cross-linking. On PID 7, the hair growth was obvious in the dorsal depilated area of mice in T45 group and T90 group, while hair growth was slow in the scaffold implantation area of mice in T60 group, which was significantly different from that of the unimplanted area. On PID 7, compared with (18±4) μm in T90 group, the thickness of both the fiber capsule around the scaffolds ((39±4) and (55±8) μm) of mice in T45 group and T60 group was significantly increased ( P<0.05); the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was also significantly increased compared with that in T45 group ( P<0.05). On PID 7, the expression level of CD68 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). The expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05), and the expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T45 group was significantly higher than that in T90 group ( P<0.05). The expression level of TNF protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly lower than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). Conclusions:Three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds with different topological structures mediate different degrees of immune responses after being implanted in mice. A moderate immune response promotes hair growth in depilated area of mice, while an excessive immune response results inhibits the hair follicle entering into the anagen phase.
