    Abstract The capsular tension ring (CTR) can stabilize the capsule, support the lax zonules, and inhibit the proliferation and migration of lens epithelial cells. Clinically, CTR is mostly used in patients with zonular weakness, which can improve the stability of intraocular lens (IOL) and reduce the incidence of posterior capsular opacity (PCO). The relatively large capsular bag volume, zonular weakness in cataract patients with high myopia may increase the instability of IOL and PCO. Therefore, many clinicians have implanted CTR in cataract patients with high myopia. In this review, we summarized the application of CTR in cataract patients with high myopia.

    Abstract Wampee (Clausena lansium [Lour.] Skeels) is a tropical fruit. In July 2022, shoot rot symptoms were observed on wampee (cv. JIXIN) in a field (21°25′N, 110°10′E; approximately 100 ha) in Guangdong Province, China. The most obvious symptom of the disease was the rotting and withering of the tops. Disease incidence was approximately 90% (n = 500). Twenty diseased samples were randomly collected from the field and cut into 2 × 2-mm pieces next to the margins of diseased tissues. These pieces were then sterilized with 75% alcohol for 30 s and 2% sodium hypochlorite for 3 min and subsequently washed with sterile water three times. The tissue pieces were placed onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at 25°C for 3 days. Pure cultures were obtained by transferring hyphal tips to new PDA plates. Sixty isolates of Fusarium spp. (60/80 = 75%) were obtained. Three representative single-spore isolates (CLFP-1, CLFP-2, and CLFP-3) were used for further study. Colonies were white to pink on PDA. Conidiogenous cells were monophialidic or polyphialidic. Macroconidia were slightly curved, tapering apically with three to five septa, and measured 31.7 to 55.5 × 2.5 to 5.0 μm (n = 50). The morphological features of these fungi were analogous to those of Fusarium proliferatum (Leslie and Summerell 2006). For molecular identification, a colony PCR method (Lu et al. 2012) was used to amplify the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and portions of elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α), RNA polymerase II largest subunit (RPB1), and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) genes using the primers ITS1/ITS4, EF1-728F/EF1-986R, RPB1-R8/RPB1-F5, and RPB2-7CF/fRPB2-11aR, respectively (O’Donnell et al. 1998, 2010). The sequences were submitted to GenBank under accession numbers OP740961 to OP740963 (ITS) and OP800846 to OP800854 (RPB1, RPB2, and EF1-α). The BLAST comparison of the sequences showed that the three isolates were 100% similar to F. proliferatum (ITS, MT378328; TEF1, MH582344; RPB1, MN193921; and RPB2, MN892349). The sequences of the three isolates were 100% identical (ITS, 537/537 bp; RPB1, 1,606/1,606 bp; RPB2, 770/770 bp; and EF1-α, 683/683 bp) with those of F. proliferatum (accession nos. MT378328, MN193921, MH582196, and MH582344, respectively) in BLAST analysis. Analysis of the concatenated sequences revealed 99.87 to 100% identity with the isolates of F. proliferatum (F. fujikuroi species complex, Asian clade) by polyphasic identification using the FUSARIUM-ID database (Yilmaz et al. 1998). The sequences were also concatenated for phylogenetic analysis by the maximum likelihood method. The isolates clustered with F. proliferatum. Pathogenicity was tested through in vivo experiments. The inoculated and control plants (n = 5, 3 months old, cv. JIXIN) were sprayed with a spore suspension (1 × 10⁵ spores/ml) of the three isolates and sterile distilled water, respectively, until runoff (Feng and Li 2019). The test was performed three times. The plants were grown in pots in a greenhouse at 25 to 28°C, with a relative humidity of approximately 80%. Symptoms were observed on the inoculated plants with 100% disease incidence after 2 weeks, whereas the control plants remained healthy. The pathogen reisolated from all the inoculated plants was identical to the inoculated isolates in the morphology and ITS sequences. No pathogen was isolated from the control plants. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report F. proliferatum causing shoot blight symptoms in wampee (cv. JIXIN). This disease has caused severe losses, and the findings of this study will provide the foundation for management strategies.

    Abstract Objective: Inflammation is an important risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) comprises a spectrum of upper genital tract infections and inflammatory diseases. We aimed to evaluate the association between CRC and PID.
    Design: Matched cohort study using the National Health Insurance Research Database.
    Setting: Women with PID in Taiwan.
    Population and sample: From the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 (LHID2005) in Taiwan, we obtained data on women from 13 to 45 years of age who were diagnosed with PID. The women with PID were matched 1:4 to selected members of the population without PID based on age and year of first entry into the LHID2005.
    Methods: A Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the hazard ratio for CRC during the 5-year follow-up period, after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and selected comorbid medical disorders.
    Main outcome measures: Colorectal cancer.
    Results: Of the 19,029 women with PID, 30 were diagnosed with CRC during the 78,965 person-year follow-up period. Of the 76,116 control women, 66 were diagnosed with CRC. The CRC hazard ratio during the 5-year follow-up period was 2.00 (95% CI 1.30-3.08) for women with PID relative to control women. Similarly, after adjusting for age, Charlson comorbidity index score, urbanisation level and monthly income, the adjusted CRC hazard ratio was 1.71 (95% CI 1.10-2.65) for the women with PID relative to the women in the comparison cohort.
    Conclusions: Here we show a weak association between PID and CRC. Additional studies are needed to further evaluate this association and examine plausible mechanisms, including the influence of specific microorganisms.

    Abstract Background: Psoriasis is regarded as a systemic inflammatory disease, having been linked in recent studies, to a wide range of systemic disorders. Previous studies have reported a positive correlation between psoriasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, no studies have been conducted on an ethnic Chinese population.
    Methods: We conducted a population-based study, using a representative cohort from the National Health Insurance database in Taiwan, between 2004 and 2006. The risk of COPD was compared between patients with psoriasis and a matched reference cohort. This study included 2096 psoriasis patients and 8384 randomly selected controls.
    Results: After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and selected chronic diseases, the hazard ratio (HR) for COPD in psoriasis patients was 2.35 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42-3.89) compared with the control group in 18 months of follow-4 up. Men (HR = 2.38, 95% CI: 1.36-4.18) and patients with psoriasis over 50 years of age (HR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.27-3.77) were more likely to contract COPD.
    Conclusions: We concluded that psoriasis patients were at a greater risk of developing COPD with significantly lower COPD-free survival rates than the comparison cohort (P < 0.001). Physicians should be aware of this potential risk to reduce comorbidity and mortality.

    Abstract We report on the first global QCD analysis of the quark transversity distributions in the nucleon from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), using a new Monte Carlo method based on nested sampling and constraints on the isovector tensor charge g_{T} from lattice QCD. A simultaneous fit to the available SIDIS Collins asymmetry data is compatible with g_{T} values extracted from a comprehensive reanalysis of existing lattice simulations, in contrast to previous analyses, which found significantly smaller g_{T} values. The contributions to the nucleon tensor charge from u and d quarks are found to be δu=0.3(2) and δd=-0.7(2) at a scale Q^{2}=2  GeV^{2}.

    Abstract Simultaneous enhancement of out-coupling efficiency, internal quantum efficiency, and color purity in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters is highly desired for the practical application of these materials. We designed and synthesized two isomeric TADF emitters, 2DPyM-mDTC and 3DPyM-pDTC, based on di(pyridinyl)methanone (DPyM) cores as the new electron-accepting units and di(tert-butyl)carbazole (DTC) as the electron-donating units. 3DPyM-pDTC, which is structurally nearly planar with a very small ΔEST, shows higher color purity, horizontal ratio, and quantum yield than 2DPyM-mDTC, which has a more flexible structure. An electroluminescence device based on 3DPyM-pDTC as the dopant emitter can reach an extremely high external quantum efficiency of 31.9% with a pure blue emission. This work also demonstrates a way to design materials with a high portion of horizontal molecular orientation to realize a highly efficient pure-blue device based on TADF emitters.

    Abstract The term "human papillomavirus" has been used as the keyword during searching titles, abstracts, and keywords based on the online version of Science Citation Index (SCI), Web of Science from 1993 to 2008. Twelve document types were found among the 14,943 papers published in 1,072 journals that were listed in 99 SCI subject categories. All the articles referring to human papillomavirus were assessed by using the following aspects: characteristics of publication output, distribution of output in journals, publication output of source country, source institute, and analysis of word clusters in title, author keywords, and keywords plus. The results have shown that the USA ranked first using five publication indicators including total, single country, international, first author, and corresponding author publications. China has had the sharpest rise of publications since 2004. The top four European countries in 2008 were France, Germany, the UK, and Italy, respectively. Trend studies with word cluster analysis were performed with regards to the areas of immunology, screening methodology, behavioral sciences, economics, and meta-analysis. All those areas have shown a sharp upward rise since 2004. In addition, hypermethylation-induced inactivation of the p16 gene in the early stages of oncogenesis has been getting more interest in recent years.
