    Abstract The main mechanisms of sepsis induced organ damage are microcirculation dysfunction, host immune response imbalance, mitochondrial dysfunction, etc. As one of the most metabolically active organs in the human body, the retina can be damaged in sepsis. Studies have shown that nearly 50% of patients with sepsis have changes such as slow retinal blood flow, exudation, hemorrhage, and retinal microaneurysm formation, which are far higher than clinicians' expectations. For individuals, the importance of the eyeball has always surpassed this organ itself. Even the slight deterioration of visual ability may be closely related to daily activities. However, the ICU physicians are mainly concerned with the dysfunction of the "large" organs, it is only noticed when the patient has an irreversible visual impairment. In addition, the eyes can also "reflect" the severity of the disease and predict the prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to re-understand and pay more attention to this organ in sepsis. This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, possible pathogenic factors, pathogenesis, and treatment of septic retinal and optic nerve injury, to raise the concern about "eyeball" injury in septic patients.

    Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are important participants after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the role of their different subtypes in AMI remains controversial. The anti-inflammatory effect of ticagrelor in AMI has been discovered. However, the detailed anti-inflammatory mechanism has not been fully demonstrated. In this study, we aimed to determine whether ticagrelor can regulate the differentiation of MDSCs into anti-inflammatory subgroups to exert anti-inflammatory effects after AMI. In vitro experiments revealed no difference in the mRNA and protein expression of P2Y12 receptors on MDSCs and macrophages. Ticagrelor promotes the differentiation of in vitro cultured MDSCs to monocytic-MDSCs (M-MDSCs). A mouse AMI model was established to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of ticagrelor in vivo after AMI by interfering with the differentiation of MDSCs. On the first day after AMI, spleen-derived polymorphonuclear-MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs) were predominant in the circulation and infarcted heart. Ticagrelor increased the percentage of M-MDSCs in the circulation and infarcted heart of AMI mice in a dose-dependent manner, attenuated cardiac inflammation and increased cardiac contractile function. M-MDSC injection significantly decreased cardiac inflammation levels and improved cardiac function in splenectomized AMI mice compared with PMN-MDSC injection. These data point to a novel anti-inflammatory role for ticagrelor after AMI by interfering with the differentiation of MDSCs.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) influences the global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI), cardiac index (CI), and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) measured by Pulse Index Continuous Cardiac Output (PICCO) in febrile patients. Fifteen fever patients were included in this study. CI, GEDVI, EVLWI, heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured at five time-points: before CRRT (T0), immediately after CRRT started (T1), 15 min after CRRT started (T2), immediately after CRRT stopped (T3), and 15 min after CRRT stopped (T4). Results have shown that CI and GEDVI were decreased significantly in T1 (CI: 4.09 ± 0.72 vs 2.81 ± 0.58 L/min m

    Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) influences the global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI), cardiac index (CI), and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) measured by Pulse Index Continuous Cardiac Output (PICCO) in febrile patients. Fifteen fever patients were included in this study. CI, GEDVI, EVLWI, heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured at five time-points: before CRRT (T0), immediately after CRRT started (T1), 15 min after CRRT started (T2), immediately after CRRT stopped (T3), and 15 min after CRRT stopped (T4). Results have shown that CI and GEDVI were decreased significantly in T1 (CI: 4.09 ± 0.72 vs 2.81 ± 0.58 L/min m2, P = 0.000 and GEDVI: 727.86 ± 63.47 vs 531.07 ± 66.63 mL/m2, P = 0.000). However, CI and GEDVI were significantly increased in T3 (CI: 4.09 ± 0.72 vs 7.23 ± 1.32 L/min m2, P = 0.000 and GEDVI 727.86 ± 63.47 vs 1339.17 ± 121.52 mL/m2, P = 0.000). There were no significant differences in T2 and T4. Among the five-time points, no measurement errors were observed with regards to HR, MAP, and EVLWI. Therefore, the data herein contained suggests that PICCO measurements should begin 15 min after the start or stop of CRRT.

    Abstract Colorectal endometriosis (CEM) is a rare and complicated form of deep invasive endometriosis. Its treatment methods include drug therapy and surgery. However, it is often difficult to alleviate symptoms and address problems, such as infertility, using drug treatment alone. Surgical intervention provides a histologic diagnosis, allows assessment of pelvic cysts or masses with features concerning for malignancy, and reduces pain by destroying the endometriotic implants. We consider surgery in women with the following: Persistent pain despite medical therapy; Contraindications to or refusal of medical therapy; Need for a tissue diagnosis of endometriosis; Exclusion of malignancy in an adnexal mass; Obstruction of the bowel or urinary tract. But there is no consensus about the surgical methods. With the rapid development of gastroenteroscopy technology in recent years, many local gastrointestinal tumors that previously required surgical resection can now be removed by endoscopic surgery. Herein, we report one case of CEM treated by endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE) to provide a new treatment option for the radical resection of single CEM.

    Abstract The spread of the COVID-19 virus had a huge impact on human life on the global scale. Many control measures devoted to decrease contact among people have been adopted to slow down the transmission of the disease. A series of measures have been taken in supermarkets, which include restricting the number of customers, keeping social distance, and entering with a shopping cart. In this work, we investigate with numerical simulations the effectiveness of these measures in reducing the contact among customers. Several scenarios with different control measures are designed for numerical analysis. The movements of customers in a supermarket are simulated by a microscopic model for pedestrian dynamics. Moreover, an index based on the distance between customers is defined to measure the degree of contact and therefore evaluate it quantitatively. The effect of these measures on the average contact degree of each customer is explored, and the spatial distribution of the contact among customers in the supermarket is shown in a qualitative way. Simulation results show that except shopping cart measure, the other two measures are effective in reducing contact among customers.

    Abstract Crop residue burning (CRB) is a major contributor to air pollution in China. Current fire detection methods, however, are limited by either temporal resolution or accuracy, hindering the analysis of CRB's diurnal characteristics. Here we explore the diurnal spatiotemporal patterns and environmental impacts of CRB in China from 2019 to 2021 using the recently released NSMC-Himawari-8 hourly fire product. Our analysis identifies a decreasing directionality in CRB distribution in the Northeast and a notable southward shift of the CRB center, especially in winter, averaging an annual southward movement of 7.5°. Additionally, we observe a pronounced skewed distribution in daily CRB, predominantly between 17:00 and 20:00. Notably, nighttime CRB in China for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 accounted for 51.9%, 48.5%, and 38.0% respectively, underscoring its significant environmental impact. The study further quantifies the hourly emissions from CRB in China over this period, with total emissions of CO, PM
