AIM: To compare the clinical efficacy, vault, and rotational stability of horizontal, oblique, and vertical implantation of Toric implantable collamer lens(TICL).METHODS: Retrospective cohort study. A total of 92 cases(120 eyes)who underwent TICL implantation from July 2018 to March 2022 and had regular follow-up for at least 1 a postoperatively(1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, 6 mo, and 1 a)at Wuhan Bright Eye Hospital were collected. The patients were divided into three groups, with 34 cases(45 eyes)in horizontal implantation group, 25 cases(29 eyes)in oblique implantation group(29 cases), and 33 cases(46 eyes)in vertical implantation group. Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), diopters, vault, and rotation angle(deviation of the actual axis of TICL from the expected axis).RESULTS: All surgeries were uneventful, and there were no complications such as infection, secondary glaucoma, or cataract opacity. Safety and efficacy of the surgery: the CDVA of the three groups of patients was better than or equal to the preoperative CDVA at 1 a postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant differences in postoperative UDVA and CDVA of the three groups(P>0.05). The safety index at 1a postoperatively was 1.34±0.21, 1.34±0.17, and 1.31±0.18 for the horizontal, oblique, and vertical groups, respectively. The efficacy index was 1.26±0.21, 1.33±0.18, and 1.27±0.16 for the three groups, respectively, both with no statistically significant differences(P>0.05). Vault: there was a significant difference in postoperative vault among the three groups(P=0.003), with the vertical group having the lowest vault, followed by the horizontal group and the oblique group. The vaults at different follow-up time points within each group showed significant differences(P<0.001), and all decreased over time. Residual astigmatism: there was no significant difference in residual astigmatism among the three groups(P=0.130), but there were differences at different follow-up time points within each group(P<0.001). Rotation angle: no significant differences in rotation angle were observed among the three groups(P=0.135), but there were differences at different follow-up time points within each group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The implantation of TICL in different orientations has good safety and efficacy, the postoperative rotational stability is good, and the appropriate angle can be selected to implant TICL according to the clinical situation.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of yunaconitine on myocardial injury in rats and its mechanism related to mitochondrial apoptosis pathway rats. METHODS Forty SD rats were divided into normal group (normal saline), yunaconitine high-dose and low-dose groups(0.14, 0.09 mg/kg)and aconitine group (positive control, 0.88 mg/kg) by random number method, with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 7 days. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum as well as the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in myocardial tissue were detected. The pathomorphological changes of myocardium and ultrastructural changes of myocardial mitochondria were all observed. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was determined. The protein relative expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3 were determined in myocardium of rats. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB and MDA, the apoptotic numbers of cardiomyocytes, the level of ROS and protein expression of caspase-3 in myocardium were increased significantly in yunaconitine high-dose and low- dose groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01); serum level of SOD and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in myocardium were all decreased significantly (P< 0.01); the protein relative expressions of caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3 in myocardium were significantly increased in yunaconitine high-dose group (P<0.05); some pathomorphological changes were found in 2 groups, such as myocardial fiber disorder, mitochondrial swelling. CONCLUSIONS Yunacotine could cause myocardial injury in rats. Its mechanism might be related to destroying the integrity of cardiomyocyte membrane, causing oxidative stress of cardiomyocyte, and inducing the apoptosis of myocardial cells through mitochondrial pathway.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for fetuses with choroid plexus cysts (CPC) detected by prenatal ultrasonography.
METHODS:
Amniotic fluid chromosomal karyotype was analyzed in 104 fetuses with CPC, and copy number variations (CNVs) among the fetuses were detected by using CMA.
RESULTS:
Ten fetuses (9.62%) were found to have an abnormal karyotype, and 14 additional CNVs were detected in those with a normal karyotype. The fetuses were divided into isolated CPC group (n = 87) and non-isolated CPC group (n = 17) based on the presence of additional ultrasonographic abnormalities. The detection rates for karyotypic abnormalities of the two groups were 4.6% and 35.3%, respectively, whilst those for the CMA were 4.6% and 47.1%, respectively. The detection rates for karyotypic abnormalities and CMA of the non-isolated CPC group were significantly higher than those of the isolated CPC group (P < 0.05). The detection rate for CMA in the non-isolated group was significantly higher than chromosomal karyotype abnormalities (P < 0.05). Among the 8 fetuses with abnormal CMA, 4 had single umbilical artery, 3 had abnormal cardiac structure, and 2 had enhanced intestinal echo.
CONCLUSION
CPC is closely associated with chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosome karyotype analysis in combination with CMA can effectively detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities and provide a basis for genetic counseling.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of isofla vaspidicacid PB (called PB for short )on the biofilm adhesion and the gene expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzymes in Trichophyton rubrum . METHODS :M38-A2 method was adopted to determine MIC of PB to T. rubrum . MTT assay was used to screen the biolfilm condition and initial adhesion period of T. rubrum . The effects of different concentrations of PB (40,80,160 µg/mL)on the adhesion duration of T. rubrum (growth control group without PB was set up ,similarly hereinafter )were evaluated and the adhesion rate was calculated by using XTT assay ;the effects of different concentrations of PB (20,40,80 µg/mL)on the biofilm formation of T. rubrum at different initial adhesion periods (3,5,9 h)were observed and the adhesion rate was calculated by using XTT assay combined with inverted microscope ;qRT-PCR method was used to detect the effects of PB (320 µg/mL)on the mRNA expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzyme gene ERG6 and ERG11 in biofilm of T. rubrum . RESULTS :MIC of PB to T. rubrum was 20 µg/mL. The biofilm of T. rubrum in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS was the most metabolism activity at 6 h of initial adhesion. Compared with growth control group ,after treated with different concentrations of PB ,adhesion rate and mRNA expression of ERG6 and ERG11 in biofilm were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Hyphae decreased or even disappeared ,and the adhesion inhibition rate (at 5 and 9 h of initial adhesion )increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :PB can inhibit the adhesion of T. rubrum and reduce the hyphae ;the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of the biofilm adhesion and mRNA expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzyme gene ERG6 and ERG11.

OBJECTIVE:To study the toxicity mechanism of yunacotine-induced arrhythmia in rats. METHODS :Totally 32 rats were randomly divided by random number table method into normal control group ,yunacotine low-dose and high-dose groups (0.09,0.14 mg/kg),aconitine group (positive control ,0.88 mg/kg),with 8 rats in each group. Administration groups were given the corresponding drugs once a day ,and normal control group was given the constant volume of normal saline ,for consecutive 7 d. After last intragastric administration ,the changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) were observed. The contents of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)in myocardial tissue and Ca 2+ in myocardial cells ,the activities of Na +-K+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase as well as the protein expression of ranolidine receptor 2(RyR2)and Ca 2+-ATPase(SERCA2)in myocardial tissue were determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group ,time limit of QRS wave and QTc intervals of rats were prolonged significantly in yunaconitine low-dose group (P<0.01). The content of Ca 2 + in myocardial cells , the ATP contents , the activities of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na +-K+-ATPase as well as the protein expression of SERCA 2 in myocardial tissue were reduced significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The heart rate of rats in yunaconitine high-dose group and aconitine group were increased significantly (P< 0.05 or P<0.01),and time limit of QRS wave and QTc intervals were significantly prolonged (P<0.01);the content of Ca 2+ in myocardial cells was increased significantly (P<0.01);ATP content ,the activities of Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na +-K+-ATPase,and protein expression of RyR 2 and SERCA 2 in myocardial tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS : Yunaconitine can induce arrhythmia in rats ,the mechanism of which may be associated with Ca 2+ overload that resulted from reducing the activities of Na +-K+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase and down-regulating the expression of related calcium transporter RyR2 and SERCA 2.

Objective:To investigate the value of pericoronary adipose tissue histogram parameters based on coronary CT angiography (CTA) images for the differentiation of acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease.Methods:The clinical data and CTA images of 93 patients with coronary CTA examination in Suzhou Kowloon Hospital from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 39 patients with acute coronary syndrome (acute coronary syndrome group) and 54 patients with stable coronary artery disease (stable coronary artery disease group). A region of interest (ROI) was drawn around the stenosis of the coronary arteries, with CT attenuation ranging from-190 to -30 HU to exclude non-adipose tissue. The CT attenuation of ROI excluding non-adipose were measured and histogram analysis was performed. The obtained parameters included the mean value, median value and the 5th, 10th, 45th, 55th, 70th and 95th percentiles. The differences in histogram parameters between the two groups were compared, and then the value of each parameter in differentiating acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease was evaluated based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The stepwise regression of multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the useful features and establish the final prediction model. The ROC curve of the final model was calculated and its value was analyzed.Results:The mean, median and the 5th, 10th, 45th, 55th,70th and 95th percentile differences between the acute coronary syndrome group and the stable coronary artery disease group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ROC curve for the median and the 95th percentile had the same area under curve (AUC) of 0.73. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the diagnostic model established by multiple logistic regression were 82.1%, 89.1% and 0.90 respectively. Conclusion:CT attenuation histogram of pericoronary adipose tissue is of high value in differentiating acute coronary syndrome from stable coronary artery disease.
