Diabetic retinopathy(DR)has emerged as the leading cause of vision loss among working-age people in many countries under the increasing prevalence of diabetes and the longevity of the population. The pathogenesis of DR is complicated and has not been fully elucidated at present, while the treatment methods of DR have not been greatly improved, mainly retinal laser photocoagulation, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)treatment and vitrectomy surgery. The current treatment methods not only have shortcomings, but also bring serious economic burden to patients. Therefore, new methods are needed to explore the pathogenesis of DR, discover new treatments or improve current treatments, and improve the satisfaction of DR patients. In recent years, the identification and quantification of proteins expressed in blood, retina, vitreous humor, aqueous humor, and tears of all observable DR patients and DR rats and differentially expressed proteins after drug intervention have provided new ideas for further exploring the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of DR with the rise of proteomics, which put forward new insights into early detection and treatment.The proteomics of DR in recent years are reviewed, in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of DR.

AIM: To explore the relationship between hyperopia reserve and ocular biometric parameters in 4-14 year-old Uyghur students from Hotan County, Xinjiang, and to provide scientific evidence for myopia prevention.METHODS: From September 1 to October 31, 2023, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 264 students(3 264 eyes)from 6 schools in Hotan County. Participants underwent uncorrected distance visual acuity testing, cycloplegic refraction, and ocular biometric measurements. The correlation between spherical equivalent(SE)and ocular biometric parameters was analyzed by multiple linear regression.RESULTS: A total of 1 998 non-myopic students(1 998 eyes)were included in the study, with 1 354 students(67.77%)showing insufficient hyperopia reserve. The detection rate of insufficient hyperopia reserve decreased with age, from 94.12% at age 4 to 18.13% at age 14(P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that in the group with sufficient hyperopia reserve, age, gender, uncorrected distance visual acuity, axial length(AL), and keratometry(K)explained 66.5% of the variance in SE; while in the group with insufficient hyperopia reserve, these factors explained only 28.0% of the SE variance.CONCLUSION: In non-myopic Uyghur students aged 4-14 in Hotan County, Xinjiang, the detection rate of insufficient hyperopia reserve was 67.77%. In the group with insufficient hyperopia reserve, age, gender, AL, and K explained only a small portion of the SE variance, suggesting that the refractive status of this population may be influenced by more complex factors.

ObjectiveAutoimmune thyroiditis （AIT） is a complex and immune-mediated disorder， with no established treatment protocol. Both Western and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） focus on the pathogenesis and treatment of AIT. This study evaluated the clinical consistency of existing AIT animal models based on the diagnostic criteria of both Western and TCM， using a novel evaluation method. Additionally， it proposed recommendations and future prospects for improving these models. MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted on existing AIT animal models， using databases and the diagnostic criteria of both Western and TCM. Core and accompanying symptoms of these models were scored based on the diagnostic criteria of both Western and TCM， and clinical consistency was assessed. ResultsMice are the primary experimental animals used in AIT modeling. Modeling methods include vaccine immunization， iodine induction， heterologous thyroid antigen immunization， and a combination of high iodine water and antigen immunization. The average consistency of clinical syndromes based on TCM and Western medicine is 40%， 60%， 54%， and 63%， with the highest consistency observed in the combined high iodine water and antigen immunization model. Pathological models based on TCM are less common， with the liver-stagnation-spleen-deficiency rat model showing high clinical consistency. While most models are designed according to Western medical theory， meeting the surface and structural effectiveness criteria of Western medicine. However， there is a lack of fine-tuning and clear differentiation of TCM syndromes. ConclusionCurrent AIT syndrome-disease combination animal models primarily reflect the pathological features of Western medicine， with limited integration of TCM syndromes. Future research should aim to combine the syndrome characteristics of TCM with the pathological features of Western medicine， creating multi-factor and dynamic syndrome-disease models. Such models would better facilitate an experimental platform that conforms to the theories of TCM， providing more comprehensive support and guidance for the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of AIT.

BACKGROUND:In the past,it was necessary to cut off the pronator quadratus muscle in the treatment of distal radius fractures.Failure to repair the pronator quadratus muscle can lead to a series of complications. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy of different methods of preserving the pronator quadratus muscle combined with a palmar steel plate in the treatment of distal radius fractures. METHODS:Clinical data of 66 patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively included,divided into the traditional Henry approach group(group A),the split brachioradialis tendon approach group(group B),and the posterior pronator quadratus muscle approach group(group C),with 22 patients in each group.Postoperative internal fixation,fracture healing,and postoperative complications were observed in the three groups.The visual analog scale score of postoperative wrist pain and forearm rotation angle were compared among the three groups.The Dienst Joint Scale was used to evaluate the wrist function of patients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The surgical time,intraoperative blood loss,and fracture healing time of groups B and C were significantly lower than those of group A(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time between groups B and C,but the surgical time was shorter in group B.(2)The anteroposterior and lateral wrist X-ray examination 3 days and 1 and 3 months after surgery exhibited that there were no significant differences in radial height,palm angle,and ulnar deviation angle among the three groups(P>0.05).No significant difference was detected in various indicators during the same phase among the three groups(P>0.05).(3)At a follow-up of 12 months after surgery,there were no significant differences in visual analog scale scores and forearm rotation angle among the three groups.However,the evaluation results at 1 and 3 months after surgery demonstrated significant differences in visual analog scale scores and forearm rotation angle among the three groups(P<0.05).Among them,group C had a lower visual analog scale score and a larger forearm rotation angle.(4)According to the Dienst joint scoring standard,the excellent and good rate of wrist joint function evaluation was 86%(19/22),91%(20/22),and 95%(21/22)in groups A,B,and C,respectively 12 months after surgery.(5)All patients did not experience any postoperative vascular or neurological damage or surgical site infection.Group A had three cases of tendon irritation,two cases of traumatic arthritis,and two cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.In group B,tendon irritation occurred in 1 case and joint stiffness in 1 case.There was 1 case of traumatic arthritis and 1 case of carpal tunnel syndrome in group C.(6)It is suggested that different surgical methods for treating distal radius fractures have achieved good clinical results.Placing a steel plate under the pronator muscle can alleviate early postoperative pain,promote early activity,and restore normal life.The brachioradialis tendon approach has more advantages in exposing intraoperative fractures and can shorten the surgical time.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of rhubarb Tangluo pill on liver injury in type 2 diabetic rats.Methods ZDF(fa/fa)rats were given high-fat diet to induce type 2 diabetes model,and were randomly divided into model group,positive control group(0.18 g·kg-1 metformin)and experimental-L,-M,-H groups(0.54,1.08 and 2.16 g·kg-1 rhubarb Tangluo pill),with 8 rats in each group.Eight ZDF(fa/+)rats were selected as control group.The control group and model group were given equal volume of pure water once a day for 12 weeks.An oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)was performed after administration.Fasting blood glucose level,body mass and liver mass of rats were measured and liver index was calculated.The contents of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT),glutamic oxalacetic transaminase(GOT),triglyceride(TG)and total cholesterol(TC)in serum were detected.The histomorphologic changes of liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.The protein expression of phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1(p-IRS1),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt)and glucose transporter 4(GLUT4)were detected by Western blotting.Results After administration,the fasting blood glucose levels of control group,model group,positive control group and experimental-H group were(4.71±0.45),(29.9±2.97),(15.28±4.52)and(13.84±1.55)mmol·L-1,respectively;the liver index were 2.31±0.46,4.03±0.18,3.37±0.23 and 3.38±0.24;the relative expression level of p-IRS1 protein were 1.00±0.36,4.00±0.11,1.62±0.27 and 1.90±0.17,respectively;the relative expression levels of p-Akt protein were 1.00±0.25,0.21±0.04,0.73±0.15 and 0.54±0.04,respectively;GLUT4 protein relative expression levels were 1.00±0.11,0.40±0.08,0.86±0.04 and 0.70±0.06,respectively.Compared with the model group,the above indexes in the experimental-H group were statistically significant(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion Rhubarb Tanglu pill can effectively improve glycolipid metabolism and liver injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of IRS1/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of myopia among Kazakh students in Xinjiang, so as to provide the data support for myopia prevention and control. Methods: From March to May 2022, stratified random cluster sampling was used to select 18 218 Kazakh students in grades 1 to 12 who underwent ocular examination,who were from 81 schools of Urumqi, Changji, and Tacheng in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The Chi square test was used to compare differences in myopia detection rates among students of different grades, genders, regions, urban rural distribution and school stages. Results: The prevalence of screening myopia was 25.6% (4 660) among Kazakh primary and secondary students. The proportion of mild, moderate, and high myopia were 79.5%, 17.3% and 3.2%, respectively. The prevalence rate of screening myopia in girls was higher than that in boys (30.4%, 20.9%) ( χ 2=217.17, P <0.01), and there was a significant difference in the degree of screening myopia between different genders ( χ 2=9.46, P <0.05). The screening myopia detection rate of Urumqi was higher than that of Tacheng and Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture (37.3%, 29.0%, 20.0%), and the difference between different regions was statistically significant ( χ 2=238.36, P <0.01). The detection rate of screening myopia was higher in urban areas than in rural areas (33.8%, 14.4%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=881.54, P <0.01). Overall, the difference in the detection rate of screening myopia among students of different schooling stages was found to be statistically significant ( χ 2=1 056.51, P <0.01); and the screening myopia detection rate was higher among ordinary middle school students than vocational middle school and primary school students ( 37.8 %, 31.7%, 15.8%). A statistically significant difference was also found in the degree of screening myopia among different schooling stages ( χ 2=104.70, P <0.01). Conclusion The detection rate of screening myopia among Kazakh primary and secondary school students in Xinjiang is relatively low, and corresponding interventions should be taken according to the distribution characteristics of myopia among Kazakh primary and secondary school students, to reduce the occurrence of myopia among students.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Objective To explore the short-term outcome and safety of 577 nm subthreshold micropulse laser(SML)in the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC).Methods The clinical data of 22 patients(24 eyes)with CSC who were admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from April 2023 to April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The 12 eyes had acute CSC,the 12 eyes had chronic CSC,and all of them were treated with SML.The changes of best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness(CMT),subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT),subretinal fluid height(SRFH),and central macular sensitivity(CMS)before treatment and 1 month after treatment were analyzed.The absorption of subretinal fluid 1 month after treatment and related complications were observed.Results Compared with those before treatment,the CMT,SFCT,and SRFH 1 month after treatment significantly declined(P<0.05).The LogMAR BCVA and CMS 1 month after treatment were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.05).The CMS(r=-0.555,P=0.006)and LogMAR BCVA(r=0.439,P=0.032)before treatment were significantly correlated with SRFH before treatment.The change of SRFH was significantly correlated with CMT before treatment(r=0.616,P=0.001),but without correlation with SFCT before treatment(r=0.168,P=0.431).One month after treatment,11 eyes had complete absorption of subretinal fluid,12 eyes had varying degrees of absorption,and 1 eye had an increase in SRFH.No related adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion The 577 nm SML has a good therapeutic effect on CSC,which can significantly improve the macular structure and central visual function,with good safety.
