AIM: To assess the gap between the peak of the base curve to the surface of the cornea, as well as examines the correlation between the thickness of the tear film and the fitting of the orthokeratology lens through optical coherence tomography(OCT), providing an intuitive and quantitative clinical evaluation method for the fitting of the orthokeratology lens.METHODS: Myopia patients who fitted orthokeratology at our hospital from January to December 2023 were included. Examinations, including naked vision, slit lamp, non-contact intraocular pressure, ocular fundus, eye position, corneal diameter, corneal topography, tear film rupture time, optometry, etc., were performed on all patients before fitting. The trial lens parameter was selected according to the examination results, and fluorescein staining was performed to evaluate lens fitting state after patients adapted to wearing glasses. According to the performance of fluorescein staining, the inspected eyes are divided into three groups: lens loose group, lens fitting group, and lens tight group. In addition, the tear film thickness of three groups of subjects was measured by OCT, and the differences between the three groups of data were evaluated.RESULTS: A total of 49 myopic patients(77 eyes)were included. The average sphere degree was -3.10±1.25 D, the average cylinder degree was -0.43(-0.75, 0)D, the average horizontal keratometry(HK)was 42.48±0.81 D, and vertical keratometry(VK)was 42.98(42.25, 43.50)D. There were 21 cases(34 eyes)in the lens fitting group, with 13 cases of bilateral eyes, 8 cases of one eye, 14 cases(22 eyes)in the lens loose group, with 8 cases of bilateral eyes, 6 cases of one eye, and 14 cases(21 eyes)in the lens tight group, with 7 cases of bilateral eyes, 7 cases of one eye. There was no statistical difference in the main basic data of the subjects in the three groups(all P>0.05). OCT showed that the tear film thickness of the lens fitting group, the lens loose group, and the lens tight group was 231.18(219.0, 243.0), 220.41(214.0, 224.3), and 249.00(241.5, 258.0)μm, respectively, and there was statistical significance in the thickness among the three groups(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: OCT can serve as a safe and reliable method for measuring the tear film thickness, which can help evaluate the suitability of orthokeratology and provide a non-invasive, more intuitive, and quantitative evaluation method for the fitting and evaluation of orthokeratology.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of butylphthalide sequential therapy(BST)as an adjuvant therapy for delayed onset encephalopathy caused by acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP).Methods DEACMP patients who visited the department of neurology at Yan'an People's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Using a random number table method,DEACMP patients were randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT)group,glucocorticoid(GC)group(GC combined with,HBOT),and BST group(HBOT,GC combined with BST),all of which were treated continuously for 30 days.The incidence of adverse reactions and clinical efficacy during the treatment among three groups of DEACMP were observed and compared.Inflammation indicators,neurological damage indicators,cognitive function,neurological function,and daily living ability before and after treatment among three groups were compared.Results A total of 120 patients were included in the study,with 40 patients in each group.During the treatment period,no serious adverse reactions were observed in any of the three groups of patients,and no patient terminated treatment due to adverse reactions.The total effective rate of BST group was significantly higher than those of GC group and HBOT group,while the total effective rate of GC group was higher than that of HBOT group(P<0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the scores of inflammation indicators,neurological damage indicators,cognitive function,neurological function,and daily living function among the three groups.After treatment,the serum LP-PLA2,SIRI,TNF-α,S100-β,and the NSE levels decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and the indicators of the BST group was lower than those of the HBOT group and GC group,while the indicators of the GC group was lower than those of the HBOT group(P<0.05).After treatment,the MMSE,MoCA,and BI scores of the three groups increased compared to before treatment(P<0.05),but the NIHSS score decreased(P<0.05).In addition,the MMSE,MoCA,and BI scores of the BST group were higher than those of the HBOT and GC groups(P<0.05),while the NIHSS scores were lower than those of the HBOT and GC groups(P<0.05).The MMSE,MoCA,and BI scores in the GC group were higher than those in the HBOT group,while the NIHSS scores were lower than those in the HBOT group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with HBOT treatment and HBOT combined with GC treatment,BST adjuvant therapy can improve the clinical efficacy,inflammatory status,cognitive function,and daily living ability of DECAMP patients.

In recent years, the management of respiratory diseases related to preterm birth has received extensive attention.In 2021, the American Thoracic Society brought together multidisciplinary experts in respiratory, neonato-logy, otolaryngology, sleep medicine, radiology and nursing specialties to develop Guidelines for outpatient respiratory management in infants, children, and adolescents with post-preterm respiratory disease (hereinafter referred to as the " Guideline" ), aiming to provide evidence-based medical evidence for standardized outpatient management of respiratory diseases associated with preterm birth at different ages.The Guideline was interpreted and summarized so that pediatric clinicians could correctly diagnose and treat these diseases, and understand and implement standardized outpatient management on the basis of evidence.

Bronchial asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood.In clinical diagnosis and treatment, it is found that some children with asthma often have neuropsychiatric disorders of different severity, such as autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorders, panic disorders and anxiety, which render the prognosis and treatment of asthma difficult.Some reports suggest that the " lung-brain axis" of bronchial asthma is related to the outbreak of inflammation-related mechanisms.A new idea to improve bronchial asthma with neuropsychiatric diseases may be inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors and blocking lung-brain inflammation communication.As one of the more thoroughly studied inflammasome family members, NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) is widely involved in the mechanisms of neuroinflammation and bronchial asthma attacks.In this article, the role of NLRP3 in the " lung-brain axis" immune inflammation mechanism of bronchial asthma is reported, which may provide new ideas for the diagnosis, treatment and research of bronchial asthma and neuropsychiatric comorbidities.

【Objective】 To learn the production efficient of platelet components among prefecture-level blood stations in China, to provide supporting data for those blood stations to optimize the production mode of platelet components and continuously improve production efficiency and supply capacity. 【Methods】 The data from 2017 to 2020 was obtained from 24 prefecture-level blood stations who were the members of the practice comparison network for blood institutes in China. The collection units of apheresis platelets, the number of dual-collections of apheresis platelets and plasma, the average apheresis units of one platelet apheresis procedure, the discarded rate of apheresis platelets, the amount of expired apheresis platelets and the amount of apheresis platelets issued were collected. For concentrated platelets, the prepared amount of platelet concentrates and the amount of expired platelet concentrates were collected; both the quantity of qualified and issued concentrated platelets were submitted for statistical analysis.The total output and efficiency of platelet components were calculated based on the collected data. 【Results】 The average annual growth rate of apheresis platelets collection in 24 prefecture-level blood stations was 12.23%, accounting for 99.80% of the total platelet output; the average collection unit of one platelets apheresis procedure was 1.75; from 2019 to 2020, only 5 blood stations performed dual-collection of platelet and plasma during one apheresis procedure; the discarded rate of apheresis platelets was 0.28%, of which 0.007% was due to expiration. A total of 1 621.2 therapeutic units of concentrated platelets were prepared, and 13.03% of them was discarded due to the expiration. The production efficiency of platelet components was 97.56%, of which the production efficiency of apheresis platelets was 97.61% and the production efficiency of concentrated platelets was 74.43%. 【Conclusion】 There are large regional differences in the supply capacity of platelet components in prefecture-level blood stations. Apheresis platelets are the main resource of platelet components product, and the collection capacity is increasing over the years with the characteristics of high production efficiency and low expiration scrapping rate. However, the preparation of concentrated platelets are still limited with relatively low production and high expiration discarded rate.

Objective:To explore a fast and accurate method to diagnose children's pneumonia according to respiratory signals, so as to avoid the cancer induction caused by traditional X-ray examination.Methods:A Mach Zehnder optical fiber sensor was used to build a respiratory signals(RSPs) detection system, and the RSPs of the monitored children were extracted according to the vibration signal generated by the children's lung rales. Preprocessing methods such as the discrete cosine transform(DCT) were used to compress and denoise the RSPs. Multi-feature extraction of RSPs was conducted through signal processing methods such as the Hilbert transform and autoregressive (AR) model spectrum estimation. A support vector machine (SVM) classification model was constructed to classify the collected RSPs.Results:The accuracy rate of the proposed RSP classification of children with or without pneumonia was 94.41%, which was higher than the previous methods.Conclusions:The children's pneumonia diagnosis system based on an optical fiber sensor has a higher detection accuracy, and is expected to be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective: To explore the intervention effect of sports combined with group psychological counseling on the psychological craving, addiction sererity, as well as comorbid depression with anxiety severity of college students with smartphone addiction. Methods: Totally 148 smart-phone addicts were randomly divided into 3 groups(sports group 49 students, group psychological counseling group 50 students, sports group counseling group 49 students). Smartphone addiction was evaluated by using the University Student Smartphone Addiction Scale(SAS-C); the degree of mental hunger was assessed by the Visual Analog Scale(VAS); the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA) were used to evaluate the degree of anxiety and depression. All scales were evaluated before intervention, after intervention and 3 months after the intervention. Results: The SAS-C,VAS,HAMD,HAMA scores of the three groups decreased with time(F=36.05，38.54，37.27，39.27，P<0.01), and the scores were the lowest in the sports group counseling group, SAS-C,VAS,HAMD,HAMA followed by the group counseling group and the highest in the sports group(F=34.33，32.36，32.34，34.96，P<0.01). Howevey, all the 3 groups still had depression and anxiety symptoms after 3 months of intervention. Conclusion Sports, group psychological counseling, sports combined with group counseling can all differentially help decreasing the psychological cravings and addiction levels of smartphone addicts and severity of depression and anxiety with the latter shows the highest effectiveness, followed by the group counseling and sports intervention alone.

With the appearance of the disadvantages of traditional tumor treatment, immunotherapy has entered people′s horizons as modern emerging treatment strategies, among which plant polysaccharides have received much more attention due to their antitumor activity and significant immunomodulatory effects. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), as a component of tumor microenvironment, are important factors affecting tumors, and the regulation of TAMs by plant polysaccharides is one of the effective immunotherapy to treat tumor. In this review, we mainly described the regulation of TAMs by plant polysaccharides and the underlying mechanisms, and then gave an outlook on the research interests and the development of plant polysaccharides as immune adjuvants, aiming to provide reference for the study of plant polysaccharides in the immunotherapy for tumors.
