At present, intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents is the main method for the treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO), which can significantly inhibit neovascularization, release macular edema and improve the vision of patients. However, VEGF is a survival factor of vascular endothelial cells, whether it can lead to the progress of retinal ischemia and it has an effect on retinal capillaries deserves our clinical attention. Most scholars currently think that the anti-VEGF agents will not aggravate the occlusion of retinal capillaries in the treatment of macular edema secondary to RVO from the aspects of the changes of perifoveal capillary arcade, the quantification of foveal avascular zone area, retinal nonperfusion area and retinal vascular density of the superficial and deep capillary plexus In addition, the changes of these indicators may be related to the number of times patients need treatment, visual prognosis and so on. In the future, with the gradual popularization of OCT angiography and the prolongation of the number and time of anti VEGF drug treatment, we look forward to the study of larger samples and longer follow-up time to further analyze the influence of the retinal capillary after anti-VEGF therapy in patients with macular edema associated with RVO.
Objective To evaluate the influences of myocardial injury markers on the short-term and long-term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), so as to provide valuable references for clinical prognosis assessment. Methods Literature was electronically searched in CBM, PubMed, OVID, EMbase and CNKI from the date of their establishment to August 2011, meanwhile the manual searches were also performed to systemize the papers. According to the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews, the studies were screened by two reviewers independently, the quality of the included studies was evaluated, the data were extracted, and meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan5.0 software. Results A total of 10 observational studies including creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and the patients involved were 10 793 totally. Results of meta-analysis showed that the increasing release of CK-MB was associated with an increasing short-term mortality risk of both on-pump (RR=2.88, 95%CI 1.94 to 4.28, Plt;0.000 01) and off-pump group (RR=3.64, 95%CI 1.07 to 12.42), P=0.04). Also the increasing release of CK-MB was associated with an increasing long-term mortality risk of both on-pump (RR=2.55, 95%CI 1.91 to 3.40, Plt;0.000 01) and off-pump group (RR=3.36, 95%CI1.46 to 7.72, P=0.004). The increasing release of cTnI was also associated with an increasing risk of both short-term mortality (RR=6.45, 95%CI 2.50 to 16.66, Plt;0.1) and long-term mortality (RR=4.18, 95%CI 2.78 to 6.28, Plt;0.1). Conclusion The evidence shows that the increasing release of both CK-MB and cTnI is associated with an increasing risk of the short-term and long-term mortality.
Objective To observe the inhibition effect of selective cyclooxygenase2 inhibitor(celecoxib)on the experimental choroidal neovascularization(CNV). Methods Thirty 8-10 weeks old healthy male Brown-Norway(BN)rats were randomly divided into the control, laser and celecoxib group,with 10 rats in each group. At the dosage of 50 mg/kg, celecoxib was gavaged twice per day. After 7 days, experimental CNV was induced by Krypon laser on laser group and celecoxib group. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was performed on days 3, 7,14,21,30 after laser photocoagulation.On days 21 after photocoagulation, 5 rats in each group were sacrificed and the relative thickness of CNV membranes, the expression of COX-2, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) were studied by histopathologic or immunohistochemistry examination.Results On days 21 after photocoagulation, the incidence of CNV in the celecoxib group is significantly lower than that in the laser group (chi;2=7.1068,P=0.0077); the relative thickness of the CNV membranes in the celecoxib group is reduced 41.38% compared to the laser group, the difference is statistically significant (t=16.760 0,P=0.0000).COX-2,VEGF and MMP-2 expression in the CNV membrane of celecoxib group were significantly lower than in control group (t=5.710 0,5.840 0, 8.020 0; P=0.000 0); the COX-2, VEGF and MMP-2 expressions in choroid and retina of control group were weak. Conclusion Prophylactic celecoxib can reduce the expression of VEGF and MMP-2 by inhibiting COX-2, and prevent the CNV induced by laser photocoagulation.

This article aims to combine deep learning with image analysis technology and propose an effective classification method for distal radius fracture types. Firstly, an extended U-Net three-layer cascaded segmentation network was used to accurately segment the most important joint surface and non joint surface areas for identifying fractures. Then, the images of the joint surface area and non joint surface area separately were classified and trained to distinguish fractures. Finally, based on the classification results of the two images, the normal or ABC fracture classification results could be comprehensively determined. The accuracy rates of normal, A-type, B-type, and C-type fracture on the test set were 0.99, 0.92, 0.91, and 0.82, respectively. For orthopedic medical experts, the average recognition accuracy rates were 0.98, 0.90, 0.87, and 0.81, respectively. The proposed automatic recognition method is generally better than experts, and can be used for preliminary auxiliary diagnosis of distal radius fractures in scenarios without expert participation.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of comorbidity for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on exercise tolerance and cardiopulmonary function. MethodsNSCLC patients who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) before surgery were retrospectively included. According to the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score, patients were divided into two groups: a CCI≥3 group and a CCI<3 group. The patients were matched with a ratio of 1 : 1 by propensity score matching according to the age, body mass index, sex, smoking history, exercise habits, pathological stage and type of surgery. After matching, CPET indexes were compared between the two groups to explore the differences in exercise tolerance and cardiopulmonary function. ResultsA total of 276 patients were included before matching. After matching, 56 patients were enrolled with 28 patients in each group, including 38 (67.9%) males and 18 (32.1%) females with an average age of (70.7±6.8) years. Compared with the CCI<3 group, work rate at peak (WR peak), WR peak/predicted value (WR peak%), kilogram oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold (VO2/kg AT), VO2/kg peak, VO2/kg peak%, peak carbon dioxide output, the minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production slope, O2 pulse peak and O2 pulse peak% of CCI≥3 group were statistically different (P<0.05). Among them, the rate of postoperative pulmonary complication in the CCI≥3 group was higher than that in the CCI<3 group (60.7% vs. 32.1%, P=0.032). ConclusionIn the NSCLC patients, exercise tolerance and cardiopulmonary function decreased in patients with CCI≥3 compared with those with CCI<3. CPET can provide an objective basis for risk assessment in patients with comorbidity scored by CCI for pulmonary resection.
Objective To explore the predictive value of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) combined with clinical indexes in the postoperative complications. Methods The clinical data and CPET data (including lung function) of patients undergoing radical esophagectomy in Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to March 2022 were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the meaningful evaluation index for the occurrence of postoperative complications. Results A total of 77 patients with esophageal cancer were included, including 59 (76.6%) males and 18 (23.4%) females aged 47-80 years. There were 42 (54.5%) patients in the non-complication group and 35 (45.5%) patients in the complication group. Univariate analysis results showed that the occurrence of postoperative complications was significantly correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), smoking index, tumor stage, the length of postoperative hospital stay, peak work rate (WRpeak), peak kilogram oxygen uptake (VO2peak/kg), the ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide slope (VE/VCO2 slope), forced expiratory volume in the first second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and maximum expiratory flow rate (MMEF) (P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI [OR=1.35, 95%CI (1.03, 1.77), P=0.031], peakVO2/kg [OR=0.64, 95%CI (0.45, 0.93), P=0.018], oxygen uptake-anaerobic threshold (ATVO2) [OR=0.66, 95%CI (0.44, 0.98), P=0.044] and VE/VCO2 slope [OR=1.49, 95%CI (1.10, 2.02), P=0.011] were the related indexes of complications after radical resection of esophageal cancer. The sensitivity of BMI, VO2peak/kg, ATVO2/kg and VE/VCO2 slope in predicting postoperative complications was 82.10%, and the specificity was 87.44%, 95%CI (0.744, 0.955). Conclusion BMI, VO2peak/kg, ATVO2/kg and VE/VCO2 slope can be used as predictors for postoperative complications of esophageal cancer.
