Abstract
AIM To assess glaucoma patient satisfaction and follow-up adherence in case management and identify associated predictors to improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 119 patients completed a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18 and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Clinical data was obtained from the case management system. Follow-up adherence was defined as completing each follow-up within ±30d of the scheduled time set by ophthalmologists during the study period. RESULTS Average satisfaction scored 78.65±7, with an average of 4.39±0.58 across the seven dimensions. Age negatively correlated with satisfaction (P=0.008), whilst patients with follow-up duration of 2 or more years reported higher satisfaction (P=0.045). Multivariate logistics regression analysis revealed that longer follow-up durations were associated with lower follow-up adherence (OR=0.97, 95%CI, 0.95-1.00, P=0.044). Additionally, patients with suspected glaucoma (OR=2.72, 95%CI, 1.03-7.20, P=0.044) and those with an annual income over 100 000 Chinese yuan demonstrated higher adherence (OR=5.57, 95%CI, 1.00-30.89, P=0.049). CONCLUSION The case management model proves effective for glaucoma patients, with positive adherence rates. The implementation of this model can be optimized in the future based on the identified factors and extended to glaucoma patients in more hospitals.

Abstract
To analyze the trend of abnormal birth weight of full-term newborns and its correlation with parental reproductive age in Chongqing municipality from 2010 to 2022. Based on the Chongqing Birth Certificate System, full-term newborns born from January 2010 to December 2022 were selected. Parental information and birth weight were abstracted from the system. The joinpoint regression model was used to assess the trend of incidence of low birth weight (LBW) and macrosomia in the offspring from 2010 to 2022. The logistic regression model was utilized to analyze the association between parental reproduction age and birth weight of newborns. The average birth weight of 3 155 542 newborns was (3 305.8±410.5) g. The joinpoint regression model showed a decreasing trend for the incidence of LBW from 2010 to 2016 (APC=-4.26%, P<0.05), and an increasing trend from 2020 to 2022 (APC=8.99%, P<0.05). The incidence of macrosomia exhibited a decreasing trend from 2015 to 2022 (APC=-3.37%, P<0.05). The logistic regression model showed that, compared to the group with parents aged 20-34 years, the risk of LBW increased in other age groups. The risk of macrosomia decreased when either parent was aged<20 years, and increased when both parents were aged≥20 years. In conclusion, from 2010 to 2022, the incidence of LBW in full-term offspring in Chongqing municipality decreased first and then increased, and the incidence of macrosomia increased first and then decreased. Both young and advanced parental age were associated with an increased risk of LBW in offspring, and advanced parental age was also associated with an increased risk of macrosomia in offspring. Attention should be paid to the effects of advanced maternal and paternal age on offspring birth weight. Further efforts to control childbearing at a young age were needed.

Abstract
Birth cohort is an important platform to study the effect of early-life exposure on health outcome, but large cohorts to investigate the effect of preconception exposure, especially paternal exposure, on reproductive health and birth outcome are limited. The Preconception Reproductive Health and Birth Outcome Cohort (PREBIC) is a prospective birth cohort study which pays equal attention to the contribution of environmental, psychological, behavioral as well as other factors to reproductive health and adverse birth outcomes in both men and women in Chongqing, China. PREBIC started in 2019 and plans to recruit 20 800 reproductive-age couples with child-bearing willingness. Followed up was conducted to understand the conception status of the women within two years. Women in pregnancy would be visited at first, second, third trimesters and after delivery. The offspring would be monitored until 2 years old to understand the incidences of preterm birth, low birth weight, birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and other outcomes. Related information and biospecimen collections (including semen, peripheral blood, urine, placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood and oral swab) were scheduled in each period. By January 2022, PREBIC had recruited 8 698 participants from all 38 districts in Chongqing. The goal of PREBIC is to establish one of the largest prospective preconception birth cohorts covering both men and women, which might provide a unique insight to understand the effects of the full reproductive cycle on reproductive health and adverse outcomes, with especial emphasis on preconception exposures.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory condition associated with an increased risk of obesity and higher coronary atherosclerosis burden by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Prior studies have shown that the ability to expand subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) may serve to identify individuals at a lower risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between abdominal SAT and high-risk subclinical coronary artery disease requires exploration.
Purpose
To characterize the relationship between abdominal SAT volume measured on low-dose computed tomography, and coronary artery disease assessed as noncalcified and lipid-rich necrotic core burden by CCTA in psoriasis.
Methods
We performed a cross-sectional study of 232 participants with psoriasis and without known cardiovascular disease. All participants underwent CCTA to characterize coronary artery disease burden and low dose abdominal computed tomography to quantify subcutaneous adipose tissue volumes. Fat depot volumes were first adjusted in a sex specific manner for each participant's body mass index in a linear regression model. The residual values from the sex stratified linear regression models were used for analyses. Coronary artery disease burden was quantified in the three main coronary arteries (QAngio, Medis, The Netherlands) and averaged. Analyses were performed with StataIC 16 (Stata Corp., College Station, TX, USA).
Results
Of the 232 participants, 92 (40%) were women and the average age was 50 years. In women, there was a positive correlation between abdominal SAT and systemic inflammation as assessed by hs-CRP (r=0.30; p=0.004) and GlycA (r=0.29; p=0.007) as well as total cholesterol (r=0.24; p=0.02) and LDL cholesterol (r=0.22; p=0.04). In men, abdominal SAT correlated with hs-CRP (r=0.18; p=0.04) and insulin resistance as assessed by the homeostatic model for insulin resistance (r=0.17; p=0.04). In models fully adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, abdominal SAT volume negatively associated with noncalcified and lipid-rich necrotic core burden in men (β=−0.17; p=0.03, β=−0.21; p=0.02, respectively), but not women (β=−0.04; p=0.72, β=0.05; p=0.68, respectively) with psoriasis (Table).
Conclusions
In psoriasis, for a given body mass index, abdominal SAT negatively associated with coronary atherosclerosis burden in men. The observed sex-specific effects on subclinical coronary artery disease warrant further study of abdominal SAT in states of chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the distribution and characteristics of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Methods: Retrospective case study. A total of 285 PACG patients (406 eyes) diagnosed in the Eye Hospital, School of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Wenzhou Medical University from January 2017 to August 2019 were included. They were 102 males and 183 females, with a median age of 67 years old (range, 21 to 95 years old). The PAS range was detected by gonioscopy examination, and the frequency distribution of PAS at 12 clock points was counted by clockwise. The PAS distribution at the middle point of PAS with continuous distribution and ≤6 clock points was assessed. Results: In all cases, PAS of the right eye was concentrated at 11:00 to 4:00 regions [range, 62.0% (129/208) to 78.8% (164/208)]. PAS of the left eye was concentrated at 7:00 to 1:00 regions [range, 50.0% (99/198) to 75.8% (150/198)]. When the PAS range of the atrial angle was ≤6 clock regions, it was mainly at 12:00 to 3:00 [range, 58.3% (74/127) to 67.7% (86/127)] in the right eye and at 10:00 to 12:00 [range, 54.8% (68/124) to 66.1% (82/124)] in the left eye. Among 121 cases (242 eyes) with both eyes involved, the PAS region was at 11:00 to 5:00 [range, 52.1% (63/121) to 79.3% (96/121)] in the right eye and at 8:00 to 1:00 [range, 50.4% (61/121) to 76.9% (93/121)] in the left eye. When the PAS range of the atrial angle was ≤6 clock regions, it was mainly at 12:00 to 4:00 [range, 53.2% (41/77) to 71.4% (55/77)] in the right eye and at 10:00 to 12:00 [range, 50.6% (39/77) to 64.9% (50/77)] in the left eye. In all cases, there were 171 cases of right eyes and 175 cases of left eyes with continuous angle PAS. The central PAS clock position of the right eye was mainly at 11:00 to 3:00 [range, 15.2% (26/171) to 24.0% (41/171)], and that of the left eye was mainly at 8:00 to 12:00 [range, 15.4% (27/175) to 20.6% (36/175)]. Among cases with both eyes involved, there were 98 cases of right eyes and 104 cases of left eyes with continuous angle PAS. The clock distribution of the middle position of the right eye angle PAS was concentrated at 11:00 to 3:00 [range, 17.3% (17/98) to 26.5% (26/98)], and that of the left eye was concentrated at 8:00 to 12:00 [range, 13.5% (14/104) to 20.2% (21/104)]. Conclusions: The PAS of PACG patients is mainly located in the upper and nasal sides, and the closer to the temporal side, the smaller the PAS frequency, showing a gradual downward trend. The PAS distribution of binocular angles is of obvious mirror symmetry. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 666-671).

Abstract
Photocatalysis, a promising technology platform to address the environmental problems, has been attracting considerable attention. In this paper, Ag/AgxH3-xPMo12O40 (simplified as Ag/AgHPMo12) nanowires have been synthesized by a facile solid reaction route and in situ photodeposited method. The results of SEM and TEM indicate that the diameters of AgHPMo12 nanowires are about 45 ± 10 nm, and Ag nanoparticles with diameters in the range of 5-15 nm are uniformly anchored on the surface of AgHPMo12 nanowires. The Ag content in the Ag/AgHPMo12 composite was manipulated by the light irradiation time (Ag/AgHPMo12-x; x stands for the irradiation time; x = 2, 4, 6, 8 h, respectively). With increasing irradiation time, the light absorption of as-synthesized samples in the visible region was gradually enhanced. The Ag/AgHPMo12-4 exhibits the best photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methyl orange and reduction of Cr2O72- under visible-light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. The study of the photocatalytic mechanism reveals that both Ag and AgHPMo12 can be excited by visible light. The photoinduced electrons were transferred from AgHPMo12 to metallic Ag, and combined with the Ag plasmonic holes. The Ag plasmonic electrons were trapped by O2 to form ·O2-, or directly reduced Cr2O72- to Cr3+. Meanwhile, the ·O2- species and the photogenerated holes of AgHPMo12 were used to oxidize MO or i-PrOH; thus, they showed highly efficient and recyclable photocatalytic performance for removing the organic and inorganic pollutants.

Abstract
Here we demonstrate the material's synthetic feasibility for semiconducting alloyed silicon-tin nanocrystals (SiSn-NCs) with quantum confinement effects. An environmentally friendly synthesis is achieved by ns laser ablation of amorphous SiSn in water at ambient conditions. Plasmas generated in the liquid by laser pulses are characterized by spatial confinement with very high pressure (GPa), which allowed the growth of the SiSn-NCs via kinetic pathways. We further illustrate that surface engineering by a direct-current atmospheric pressure microplasma is capable of tailoring the SiSn-NCs surface properties without the need for lengthy surfactants, resulting in room temperature photoluminescence (PL); the PL peak wavelength is red-shifted by more than 250 nm with respect to the PL peak wavelengths observed for comparable elemental silicon nanocrystals.

Abstract
This study aimed to enhance the antibacterial activity of tilmicosin by solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). Tilmicosin-loaded hydrogenated castor oil (HCO)-SLN was prepared using a hot homogenisation and ultrasonication method. The physicochemical characteristics of SLN were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The antibacterial activity of tilmicosin-SLN against Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated by growth inhibition and colony-counting method. A therapeutic study of tilmicosin-SLN was conducted by subcutaneous injection in a mouse mastitis model infected with S. aureus by teat canal infusion. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed by physical appearance of the mammary gland and measurement of colony-forming units (CFU) per gland. The results showed that the diameter, polydispersivity index, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of the nanoparticles were 343±26 nm, 0.33±0.08, -7.9±0.4 mV, 60.4±3.3% and 11.2±0.47%, respectively. Tilmicosin-SLN showed a sustained-release effect and sustained and enhanced antibacterial activity in vitro. SLN significantly enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of tilmicosin determined by lower CFU counts and a decreased degree of inflammation. These results demonstrated that the HCO-SLN is an effective carrier to enhance the antibacterial activity of tilmicosin.

Abstract
Flocculation behavior and mechanism of the exopolysaccharide secreted by Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913 (EPS SM9913), a psychrophilic bacterium isolated from 1855m deep-sea sediment, has been studied in this paper. EPS SM9913 showed a peak flocculating activity of 49.3 in 1g/L kaolin suspension with 4.55mmol/L CaCl2 and the optimum pH range of 5-8. It appears that the flocculating activity of EPS SM9913 was stimulated by Ca2+ and Fe2+. This study found that EPS SM9913 showed a better flocculation performance than Al2(SO4)3 at salinity of 5-100 per thousand or temperatures of 5-15 degrees C. In addition, this EPS was effective to flocculate several other suspended solids. The measured zeta-potentials, the size of flocs formed during the flocculation process and the surface profile of flocs revealed by scan electron micrograph suggest that bridging is the main flocculation mechanism of the studied EPS. Deacetylation of EPS SM9913 resulted in a significant decrease in its flocculating activity indicating that the large number of acetyl groups in EPS SM9913 played an important role in its flocculation performance.

Abstract
In this study, the decolorization of textile wastewater using composite flocculants was examined. It was composed of Fe(III) flocculants and polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDMDAAC). The color removal efficiency of the composite flocculants was compared with that of individual flocculants, ferric chloride (FeCl3), polyferric chloride (PFC) and PDMDAAC, respectively. The results showed that the composite flocculants were more efficient than individual ones in color removal. The color removal efficiency of the composite flocculants was found to be related to the weight percentage of PDMDAAC (Wp), basicity (B) of PFC and molecular weight (MW) of PDMDAAC. The removal rate is higher at a larger Wp and MW value and lower B value. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal from textile wastewater was also investigated in this study. During color removal by the composite flocculants, only up to 20% COD could be removed from the textile wastewater. FeCl3 was then used to further remove the remaining COD from the decolorized wastewater. This two-step treatment of textile wastewater could achieve a 91.6% reduction in COD and an 88.9% reduction in color.

Abstract
Formation mechanism of H2Ti3O7 nanotubes by single-step reaction of crystalline TiO2 and NaOH has been investigated via transmission electron microscopy examinations of series specimens with different reaction times and extensive ab initio calculations. It was found that the growth mechanism includes several steps. Crystalline TiO2 reacts with NaOH, forming a highly disordered phase, which recrystallized into some H2Ti3O7 thin plates. H-deficiency on the top surface leads to an asymmetrical environment for the surface Ti3O2-7 layer. The calculations of the surface tension, elastic strain energy, interlayer coupling energy, and Coulomb force indicated that the asymmetrical environment is the principal driving force of the cleavage of the single sheets of H2Ti3O7 from the plates and the formation of the multiwall spiral nanotubes.

Abstract
We have attempted to develop a system for specific enhancement of transgene expression, which has been one of the most important issues in human gene therapy. When an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) expression vector, pCMV-trEBNA-1, was cotransfected with an origin of latent viral DNA replication (oriP)-harboring plasmid, poriP-CMV-luciferase, luciferase gene expression was up to 20 times greater than in the absence of EBNA-1. This enhancement was regulated mainly at the transcriptional level and was dependent on the oriP sequence and the amount of EBNA-1. However, cointroduction of poriP-CMV-luciferase with purified recombinant EBNA-1 inhibited luciferase gene expression whereas no inhibition was observed when pCMV-luciferase was cointroduced with recombinant EBNA-1. We also introduced poriP-CMV-luciferase into mouse liver via the use of HVJ (hemagglutinating virus of Japan)-liposomes. By 10 days after transfer, luciferase gene expression was decreased to low levels. We then introduced pCMV-trEBNA-1 to mouse liver via HVJ-liposomes on day 10. Luciferase gene expression was reactivated, whereas no reactivation was detected by the injection of EBNA-1 expression plasmid into liver injected with pCMV-luciferase lacking the oriP sequence. Thus, cotransfection of oriP-harboring expression vector with EBNA-1 expression plasmid should be promising for human gene therapy, although the safety of the system must be investigated thoroughly.

Abstract
An RNA melanoma vaccine was investigated to induce protective immunity in a mouse-melanoma model. LacZ mRNA was synthesized in vitro by pSFV3 expression vector and introduced into the spleen of mice, using HVJ-liposomes. A high level of beta-galactosidase activity was detected for 10 days in mouse spleen. The human melanoma-associated antigen gp100 mRNA was synthesized in vitro by pSFV3 vector and encapsulated in HVJ-liposomes. Immunization by direct injection of the gp100 mRNA HVJ-liposomes into mouse spleen induced both anti-gp100 Ab and CTL responses against B16 melanoma. Immunization by administration of gp100 mRNA into the spleen delayed tumor growth and significantly prolonged survival compared with control treated mice. These preclinical studies demonstrate that an RNA tumor antigen vaccine strategy has potential application for human cancer treatment and prevention.

Abstract
DNA-based vaccine immunization effectively induces both humoral and cell-mediated immunity to antigens and can confer protection against numerous infectious diseases as well as some cancers. Human and mouse melanomas consistently express the tumor-associated antigen interacted with the melanogenesis pathway. Gp100 is immunogenic and has been shown to induce both antibody and cytotoxic T cell (CTL) responses in humans. To explore the potential use of DNA immunization to induce melanoma-specific immune responses, we assessed HVJ-AVE liposome incorporated with plasmid DNA encoding human gp100. The gp100 DNA vaccine was used in a mouse melanoma model to assess immunity against the B16 melanoma of C57BL/6 mice. Intramuscular injection of the DNA-HVJ-AVE liposomes induced both anti-gp100 antibody and CTL responses. Gp100 DNA-HVJ-AVE liposome immunization significantly delayed tumor development in mice challenged with B16 melanoma cells. Mice immunized with gp100 DNA-HVJ-AVE liposomes survived longer compared with control mice immunized with HVJ-AVE liposome alone. These results indicate that immunization with human gp100 DNA by HVJ-AVE liposomes can induce protective immunity against melanoma in this pre-clinical mouse model. This strategy may provide an effective approach for vaccine therapy with tumor-associated antigens against human melanoma.

Abstract
Efficacy and side effects following the immunization with Salmonella typhi Vi capsular polysaccharide vaccine (Vi) were assessed. The diluted solution (DS) of Vi was used as placebo. A total number of 777 children and adults were observed for side effect response. Mild and moderate fever appeared 16.93% and 0.05% in Vi group, 15.01% and 0.03% in DS group, respectively (statistically significant). Two cases with mild local reaction were observed in Vi group. A total number of 81,506 vaccinees were investigated on the efficacy of Vi vaccine, using positive blood culture of Salmonolla typhi as a diagnostic criterion. The protective rate and index of vaccine were 71.35% and 3.49% respectively. If 2 cases of positive Widal's test were included in, the protective rate would come up to 78.17% with a protective index 4.85. Clinical data showed that fever seen in the cases in Vi group was much lower than that of DS group. The systematic and local reaction of Vi vaccine were mild. The vaccine is safe and has high protective rate. It can also decrease the degree of fever with only one single dose as primary immunization. We believe Vi vaccine may serve as a vaccine of new generation to be promoted.

Abstract
Forty-seven renal biopsies of glomerulonephropathy with persistent Australian antigenaemia (HBsAg is mostly positive) were studied with light microscope, electron microscope and direct immunofluorescence. Immunohistochemical method (ABC method) was used to examine HBsAg, HBeAg and HBcAg deposits in renal tissue. In addition 20 cases of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN) were studied for comparison. These 47 cases included 19 children and 28 adults. The results indicated that Australian antigens diffusely deposited in glomeruli in 14 cases (29.7%), with HBsAg in 7 cases (50.0%), HBeAg in 13 cases (92.8%) and HBcAg in 2 cases (14.3%). The 14 positive cases included 11 children and 3 adults. The pathologic types were membranous nephropathy in 12 and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in 2 cases. The membranous type was characterized by irregular thickening of capillary wall and double contour, bubble-like appearance and spike formation of glomerular basement membrane (GBM); immune complexes and electron dense deposits may be present in different sites of glomeruli. Coarse granular deposits of IgG and C3 along GBM were the principal pattern, but IgA, IgM and C1q were often present. Among the 20 idiopathic MN, 2 were found to have HBeAg deposition along GBM, one was a child and the other an adult IgG, IgA, IgM, C3 and C1q with HBeAg deposits were present in glomeruli.
