    Abstract Purpose: The treatment of refractory macular holes is controversial, with human amniotic membrane grafts emerging recently as an attractive option. We performed a meta-analysis and systematic review in this paper to assess the results of human amniotic membrane (hAM) in the treatment of refractory macular hole (MH).
    Methods: We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, VIP database, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Sinomed, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, and Clinical Trials.gov. Studies reporting hAM for the treatment of refractory MH were included. The outcomes are MH closure rate, visual acuity (VA) improvement rate, and graft dislocation/contracture rate.
    Results: A total of 8 studies on 103 eyes were included, all of which had undergone failed vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. In all studies, the VA improvement rate was 66% (95%CI: 45 to 84%), the MH closure rate was 94% (95%CI: 84 to 100%) and the hAM graft dislocation/contracture rate was 6% (95%CI: 0 to 15%). In the studies using cryopreserved hAM grafts, the MH closure rate was 99% (95%CI: 94 to 100%) and the hAM graft dislocation/contracture rate was 3% (0%, 10%). The VA improvement rates were 94% (95%CI: 79 to 100%) in the retinal detachment subgroup, 37% (95%CI: 20 to 56%) in the pathologic myopia subgroup, and 62% (95%CI: 14 to 100%) in the idiopathic MH subgroup.
    Conclusion: Human amniotic membrane in the treatment of refractory MH results in visual improvement. It has a high macular hole closure rate and low dislocation/contracture rate. Cryopreserved hAM grafts might have better outcomes than dehydrated grafts.

    Abstract Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is characterized by acute onset, high mortality and high surgical risks.Although open surgery has been the first-line treatment for TAAD in current guidelines, 10% to 30% of them will accept conservative treatment due to the high risk of open surgery.In recent years, with the rapid progress of endovascular technology and the innovations of various devices, endovascular repair for TAAD has shown encouraging preliminary results.Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the first-line treatment for complicated type B aortic dissection (TABD).By sealing the primary entry tear and promoting the remodeling of the false lumen, TEVAR is more minimally invasive and efficient compared to open repair.Compared with TBAD, TEVAR for TAAD is not fully elucidated.The primary entry tear is located in the ascending aorta, which has different pathophysiology characteristics from that in TBAD.More suitable and safe stent-graft and delivery system are needed. In terms of technology, the selection of proximal and distal landing zone and intraoperative brain protection are still the key and difficult problems. At the same time, there is a lack of mature programs in the treatment of the aortic root and the reconstruction of the aortic arch branches.

    Abstract The treatment of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is extremely challenging due to the complex clinical presentation and prognosis of APE related to the patient's hemodynamic status and insufficient arterial blood flow and right ventricular overload. Protective efficacy against cardiovascular diseases of curcumin, a common natural polyphenolic compound, which has antithrombotic properties and reduces platelet accumulation in the circulation by inhibiting thromboxane synthesis has been demonstrated. However, the direct effect of curcumin on APE has rarely been studied. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of curcumin in APE and associated myocardial injury to provide new insights into curcumin as a promising competitive new target for the treatment of APE. A suspension of 12 mg/kg microspheres was injected intravenously into rats. An APE rat model was built. Before modeling, intragastric 100 mg/kg curcumin was given, and/or lentiviral plasmid vector targeting microRNA-145-5p or insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) was injected. Pulmonary artery pressure was measured to assess right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed on liver tissues and myocardial tissues of APE rats. TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling) staining and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining were conducted to measure apoptosis and CyPA-CD147 expression in the myocardium, respectively. Inflammatory indices interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA in cardiac tissues. RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to determine the expression levels of related genes. In addition, by dual luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay, the relationship between microRNA-145-5p and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) was confirmed. In results: curcumin improved APE-induced myocardial injury, reduced myocardial tissue edema, and thrombus volume. It attenuated APE-induced myocardial inflammation and apoptosis, as well as reduced lung injury and pulmonary artery pressure. Curcumin promoted microRNA-145-5p expression in APE rat myocardium. MicroRNA-145-5p overexpression protected against APE-induced myocardial injury, and microRNA-145-5p silencing abolished the beneficial effects of curcumin in APE-induced myocardial injury. IRS1 was targeted by microRNA-145-5p. IRS1 silencing attenuated APE-induced myocardial injury, and enhanced therapeutic effect of curcumin on myocardial injury in APE rats. In conclusion, curcumin alleviates myocardial inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress induced by APE by regulating microRNA-145-5p/IRS1 axis.

    Abstract High-resolution calorimetry has played a significant role in providing detailed information on phase transitions in liquid crystals. In particular, adiabatic scanning calorimetry (ASC), capable of providing simultaneous information on the temperature dependence of the specific enthalpy h(T) and on the specific heat capacity c_{p}(T), has proven to be an important tool to determine the order of transitions and render high-resolution information on pretransitional thermal behavior. Here we report on ASC results on the compound 2,3',4',5'-tetrafluoro[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl 2,6-difluoro-4-(5-propyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl) benzoate (DIO) and on mixtures with 4-[(4-nitrophenoxy)carbonyl]phenyl 2,4-dimethoxybenzoate (RM734). Both compounds exhibit a low-temperature ferroelectric nematic phase (N_{F}) and a high-temperature paraelectric nematic phase (N). However, in DIO these two phases are separated by an intermediate phase (N_{x}). From the detailed data of h(T) and c_{p}(T), we found that the intermediate phase was present in all the mixtures over the complete composition range, albeit with strongly decreasing temperature width for that phase with decreasing mole fraction of DIO (x_{DIO}). The x_{DIO} dependence on the transition temperatures for both transitions could be well described by a quadratic function. Both these transitions were weakly first order. The true latent heat of the N_{x}-N transition of DIO was as low as L=0.0075±0.0005J/g and L=0.23±0.03J/g for the N_{F}-N_{x} transition, which is about twice the previously reported value of 0.115 J/g for the N_{F}-N transition in RM734. In the mixtures both transition latent heats decrease gradually with decreasing x_{DIO}. At all the N_{x}-N transitions pretransition fluctuation effects are absent and these transitions are purely but very weakly first order. As in RM734 the transition from the N_{F} to the higher-temperature phase exhibits substantial pretransitional behavior, in particular, in the high-temperature phase. Power-law analysis of c_{p}(T) resulted in an effective critical exponent α=0.88±0.1 for DIO and this value decreased in the mixtures with decreasing x_{DIO} toward α=0.50±0.05 reported for RM734. Ideal mixture analysis of the phase diagram was consistent with ideal mixture behavior provided the total transition enthalpy change was used in the analysis.
