AIM: To explore the clinical effect of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)on the treatment of myopic anisometropia.METHODS: Clinical data of 76 patients(146 eyes)with myopic anisometropia who received SMILE or femtosecond assisted laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into SMILE group(39 cases, 77 eyes)and FS-LASIK group(37 cases, 69 eyes)according to surgical methods. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), diopter, anisometropia, corneal aberration and occurrence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: The UCVA of the two groups was improved after surgery compared with that before surgery, and the coma, trefoil, spherical aberration and total higher-order aberration were significantly increased compared to those before surgery(P<0.05), and the coma, trefoil, spherical aberration and total higher-order aberration in the FS-LASIK group were significantly higher than those in the SMILE group(P<0.05). After follow-up to 3 mo after surgery, the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the SMILE group than that in the FS-LASIK group(5.2% vs 15.9%, P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both SMILE and FS-LASIK can effectively enhance the UCVA and improve the visual quality in patients with myopic anisometropia, but SMILE has lower corneal higher order aberrations, lower incidence of postoperative complications and better overall effect.

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.

A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.

AIM: To compare the clinical effect of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)and implantable collamer lens(ICL)implantation on efficacy, safety and visual quality in patients with high myopia complicated with low astigmatism.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 80 cases(159 eyes)of high myopia and low astigmatism treated in the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were included, and they were divided into 46 cases(91 eyes)in SMILE group and 34 cases(68 eyes)in ICL implantation group by means of different surgical methods. The spherical equivalent, uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), higher order aberrations of cornea and optical quality index, effectiveness and safety index were compared between the two groups before surgery and at 3 and 6 mo after surgery, and the surgical complications were counted.RESULTS: The spherical equivalent, UCVA and BCVA of both groups were all improved at 6 mo postoperatively(all P<0.05). At 6 mo after surgery, there were no differences in UCVA, BCVA, spherical equivalent, effectiveness and safety index between both groups(all P>0.05). The root mean square values of total higher order aberration, spherical aberration, coma, vertical coma and horizontal coma in the SMILE group were higher than those in the ICL implantation group, and Strehl ratio(SR)in the ICL implantation group was higher than that in the SMILE group at 3 and 6 mo after surgery(all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: SMILE and ICL implantation have good surgical efficacy in the treatment of patients with high myopia and low astigmatism, and both methods can achieve good postoperative visual acuity and objective visual quality. Furthermore, the ICL implantation has better postoperative visual quality than SMILE.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of icariin (ICA) on autophagy in glucocorticoid-induced bone microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) mediated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodBMECs were isolated and cultured from femoral heads obtained during total hip arthroplasty and identified using immunofluorescence staining. The experimental cells were divided into four groups: A control group, a glucocorticoid group (100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone), an ICA group (100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone+6.7×10-3 mg·L-1 ICA), and a Rapamycin group (100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone+6.7×10-3 mg·L-1 ICA+1 mg·L-1 rapamycin). Autophagy in BMECs was induced using 100 mg·L-1 hydrocortisone. LC3 fluorescence staining was used to observe the peak of autophagy at different time points. Western blot analysis was employed to analyze the expression of autophagy-related proteins and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway proteins in each group. Electron microscopy was used to observe autophagosomes and autolysosomes in the cells. ResultHydrocortisone at 100 mg·L-1 induced autophagy in BMECs, reaching a peak at around 5 hours, which then declined with further intervention. Compared to the control group, the glucocorticoid group showed cell membrane damage, disordered organelle arrangement, and a large number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Compared to the glucocorticoid group, the ICA group had more intact cell membranes, sparser organelle arrangement, and fewer autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Compared to the ICA group, the Rapamycin group showed cell membrane damage, disordered organelle arrangement, and more autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Compared to the control group, the glucocorticoid group had significantly increased expression of light chain 3B (LC3B), Atg4B, and p62 (P<0.01). Compared to the glucocorticoid group, the ICA group showed significantly decreased expression of LC3B, Atg4B, p62, and Beclin-1 (P<0.01). Compared to the ICA group, the Rapamycin group had significantly increased expression of Atg4B and p62 (P<0.01). Compared to the control group, the glucocorticoid group had significantly decreased expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR (P<0.01). Compared to the glucocorticoid group, the ICA group showed significantly increased expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR (P<0.01). Compared to the ICA group, the Rapamycin group had significantly decreased expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR (P<0.01). Ubiquitination levels were significantly decreased in the glucocorticoid group compared to the control group (P<0.01). Compared to the glucocorticoid group, ubiquitination levels were significantly increased in the ICA group (P<0.01), and significantly decreased in the Rapamycin group compared to the ICA group (P<0.01). ConclusionThe glucocorticoid-induced autophagy in BMECs is time-dependent. ICA inhibits glucocorticoid-induced autophagy in BMECs, and this effect may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
