AIM: To observe the clinical features of acute macular neuroretinopathy(AMN)induced by Omicron.METHODS: A retrospective study. A total of 9 patients(18 eyes)diagnosed with AMN from December 2022 to January 2023 in the Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were included. Patients underwent spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA), fundus photography, autofluorescence(AF), infrared reflectance(IR), optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)and multicolor, etc. Furthermore, they were followed up for 1~3mo and observed the prognosis.RESULTS: The initial symptom of the Omicron-induced AMN was the sudden onset of central/paracentral scotoma in the eyes with or without impaired vision and metamorphopsia, and the scotoma could persist for at least 3mo. The image features of AMN are as follows. First, the SD-OCT examination showed the rupture of outer retinal layers, scattered hyperreflective lesions, and atrophy of outer retinal layers. In severe cases, hyperreflective lesions were seen in the inner nuclear layer(INL)or with microcystic cavities under the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE). Second, the OCTA examination demonstrated the decreased blood flow density of the deep capillary plexus(DCP)of the macula. Third, the IR examination showed the weak reflection of lesion areas. Fourth, the fundus photography demonstrated the localized brown wedge-shaped lesion.CONCLUSIONS: The Omicron-induced AMN is mostly found in young females, and the characteristic manifestation of fundus is damage to the outer retinal layers. The extent of fundus lesions is related to the systemic inflammatory response and ocular microcirculatory changes after infection. The multimodal fundus image examination and a history of Omicron infection are helpful to diagnose the Omicron-induced AMN.

Dandy-Walker syndrome is one of the posterior fossa malformations, which is easily confused with arachnoid cyst or cerebellar dysplasia in clinical practice, leading to misdiagnosis. Dandy-Walker syndrome is easy to be combined with hydrocephalus, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, increased head circumference, growth retardation, spastic hemiplegia and other manifestations, and can also be accompanied by other nervous system malformations. On February 27, 2021, a child with Dandy-Walker syndrome with growth retardation as the primary manifestation was admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. After multiple surgical treatment, the child's hydrocephalus was significantly improved. Through the analysis of the clinical data of the child's operation and the treatment of complications, it is helpful to improve the clinicians' understanding of the surgical treatment of the disease.

Early screening based on computed tomography (CT) pulmonary nodule detection is an important means to reduce lung cancer mortality, and in recent years three dimensional convolutional neural network (3D CNN) has achieved success and continuous development in the field of lung nodule detection. We proposed a pulmonary nodule detection algorithm by using 3D CNN based on a multi-scale attention mechanism. Aiming at the characteristics of different sizes and shapes of lung nodules, we designed a multi-scale feature extraction module to extract the corresponding features of different scales. Through the attention module, the correlation information between the features was mined from both spatial and channel perspectives to strengthen the features. The extracted features entered into a pyramid-similar fusion mechanism, so that the features would contain both deep semantic information and shallow location information, which is more conducive to target positioning and bounding box regression. On representative LUNA16 datasets, compared with other advanced methods, this method significantly improved the detection sensitivity, which can provide theoretical reference for clinical medicine.

Objective To provide evidence for the presence of the lower body fascia chain. Methods Totally 20 cases of Chinese adult femur were selected, and the anatomy was performed to observe the continuity on fascia between periosteal fascia and iliotibial tract (ITT). Judging the generic character and the degree of continuity of them. If there was a significant anatomical continuity between them, the tensile strength of the structure is tested by applying a certain tension to both. Results First, an indirect link between the iliotibial tract and the fibular myofascial fascia was found: in all anatomical lower extremity specimens, the iliotibial bundle (ITT) was structurally connected to the fascial fascia, which was almost inseparable from the fibular fascia. Second, the application of tension to the iliotibial tract (ITT) could cause local movement between the fascia of the calf and the periosteal fascia. Conclusion Iliotibial tract and fibular long muscle fascia are connected firmly. The stability of the connection suggests that it may play a role in the conduction of a certain tension.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the levels of serum soluble CD137 (sCD137) and membrane-bound CD137 (mCD137) and the occurrence of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients with acute STEMI, who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the Department of Cardiology, Jiangsu University Affiliated Hospital from May 2019 to September 2020, were enrolled. According to the absence or presence of IRI, patients were divided into IRI group and non-IRI group. Clinical data of the two groups were collected and compared. sCD137 level was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Ficoll density gradient centrifugation was used to separate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and RNA was extracted, mCD137 mRNA expression level was detected by PCR. Serum sCD137 levels and the mCD137 mRNA levels of PBMC before, after PCI and 24 hours after PCI were compared. The correlation between serum sCD137 level, PBMC mCD137 mRNA level and clinical indicators was observed. The univariate and multivariate logistic binary regression analyses were performed to evaluate the related risk factors of IRI. ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of defined parameters for IRI. Results: A total of 112 STEMI patients were enrolled. There were 42 cases (of which 33 were males (78.6%), mean age was (58.6±12.7) years) in non-IRI group and 70 cases(of which 56 were males (80.0%), mean age was (64.5±11.6) years) in IRI group. Compared with the non-IRI group, patients in the IRI group had longer hospital stays, older age, lower rates of obesity, lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure at admission, higher proportion of the the right coronary artery as culprit vessel, lower rate of the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin-Ⅱ receptor blocker/angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, higher levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine, lower glomerular filtration rate, lower triglycerides, higher D-dimer and B-type natriuretic peptidemax, higher proportion of Killip grade Ⅳ and cardiovascular adverse events (all P<0.05). sCD137 levels at the preoperative, postoperative and 24 hours after surgery were significantly higher in the IRI group than in the non-IRI group, while the mRNA levels of CD137 was similar between the two groups. The level of sCD137 in patients after PCI was lower than that before operation, the level of mCD137 mRNA was higher than that before operation (P<0.05). Serum sCD137 levels were positively correlated with hospitalization days, age, B-type natriuretic peptide, creatinine, ischemic time, C Reactive protein (CRP) and CRP/albumin (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with body mass index, glomerular filtration rate and albumin (P<0.05). The mCD137 mRNA expression level of PBMC was positively correlated with hospital stay, age, B-type natriuretic peptide, ischemic time, CRP and CRP/albumin (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with body mass index, glomerular filtration rate, albumin (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher sCD137 (OR=1.038, 95%CI: 1.009-1.069), aspartate aminotransferase, (OR=1.029, 95%CI: 1.009-1.050) and lower albumin (OR=0.829, 95%CI: 0.703-0.829) before surgery were independent risk factors of IRI (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of sCD137 was 0.672 (95%CI: 0.574-0.770, P=0.002) for the prediction of IRI, the best cut-off value was 28.43×10-3 μg/L with sensitivity of 95.2% and specificity of 48.6%. Conclusion: The significantly increased level of sCD137 in acute STEMI patients is positively correlated with reperfusion injury, which is an independent risk factor of IRI and may be related to the prognosis of patients with IRI.

Based on the biomechanical simulation curve of OpenSim, an open source software of biomechanical model, a spherical exoskeleton parallel mechanism with two degrees of freedom for hip joint is proposed in this paper for the rehabilitation therapy of patients with impaired leg motor function or elderly people with walking dysfunction. Firstly, the parallel mechanism is modeled and the position inverse solution of the parallel mechanism is obtained using inverse kinematics analysis. The velocity analysis expression of the mechanism is derived by deriving the inverse kinematics solution. The model is imported into the mechanical system dynamics analysis software ADAMS and matrix processing analysis software MATLAB to carry out simulation experiments. The correctness of the velocity analysis is verified by comparing the velocity simulation results of the two methods. Then, three singular types of the mechanism are analyzed according to the obtained Jacobian matrix. According to the inverse solution of the mechanism, the reachable workspace of the mechanism is obtained by programming in MATLAB with given mechanism parameters and restriction conditions. Finally, the prototype platform is built. The experimental results show that the exoskeleton hip joint using this parallel mechanism can satisfy the requirement of rotation angle of human hip joint movement, but also can be good to assist patients with leg flexion-extension movement and adduction-abduction movement, and it is helpful to carry out corresponding rehabilitation training. It also has theoretical significance and application value for the research work of human hip exoskeleton parallel mechanism.

Objective To explore the risk factors of in-stent restenosis in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with CYP2C19*1/ *1. Methods The population diagnosed with CAD subsequently underwent PCI, followed by CYP2C19 genotype examination. 127 patients with CYP2C19*1/ *1 followed up 1 year after PCI in our hospital were divided into ISR group (n = 47) and control group (n = 76) according to absence or presence of in-stent restenosis (the restenosis was defined as the reduction of lumen diameter ≥ 50%). The basic clinical data, laboratory results and medication and PCI of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed to figure out the etiological risk factors of in-stent restenosis in CAD patients with CYP2C19*1/ *1. Results Based on bivariate analysis, we found several independent variables (P > 0.05) including age, hypertension, BMI, smoking and drinking history. The independent variables with results of bivariate analysis of P < 0.05 included DM, physical exercise, TG, TBIL, FIB, and the stent length, diameter and number. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that such variables including DM,TG,FIB, stent length were independent predictors of ISR (P < 0.05). On the contrary, exercise and stent diameter may be the protective factor (P<0.05). Conclusions Clinical treatment for patients with high risk factors including improved life style, strengthened biochemical indicators monitoring, a reasonable treatment and appropriate stent placement according to individual coronary artery lesions , is expected to reduce the incidence of in-stent restenosis and improve the prognosis.

To develop a gene therapy strategy for treating bovine mastitis, a new mammary-specific vector containing human lysozyme (hLYZ) cDNA and kanamycin resistance gene was constructed for intramammary expression and clinical studies. After one time acupuncture or intracisternal infusion of healthy cows with 400 microg of the p215C3LYZ vector, over 2.0 microg/ml of rhLYZ could be detected by enzymatic assay for about 3 weeks in the milk samples. Western blotting showed that rhLYZ secreted into milk samples from the vector-injected cows had molecular weight similar to that of the natural hLYZ in human colostrums. Twenty days after the primary injection, the quarters were re-injected with the same vector by quarter acupuncture and even higher concentrations of rhLYZ could be detected. Indirect competitive ELISA of milk samples showed that the vector injection did not induce detectable humoral immune response against hLYZ. Clinical studies showed that twice acupuncture of quarters with the p215C3LYZ vector had overt therapeutic effect on clinical and subclinical mastitis previously treated with antibiotics, including disappearance of clinical symptoms and relatively high microbiological cure rates. These data provide a solid rationale for using the vector to develop gene therapy for treating bovine mastitis.
