Comparison of Objective Visual Quality Following SMILE and SmartPulse Technology-Assisted TransPRK at a 1,050-Hz Ablation Frequency for Moderate-to-High Myopia
Authors: Zhao Dian , Yuan Zheng , Yang Xiao-Ying , Zhou Chun-Yang 
Published: July 2024

Purpose:
To compare the objective visual quality of moderate-to-high myopia corrected by small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) at a 1,050-Hz ablation frequency, assisted by Smart-Pulse technology (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions).

Methods:
This study involved 123 patients (123 eyes) with moderate-to-high myopia between July 2020 and January 2021. They were categorized into the SMILE group (67 patients, 67 eyes) and the TransPRK group (56 patients, 56 eyes). Follow-ups were conducted at 6 months postoperatively to record the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity, and the Strehl ratio and higher order aberrations were measured using the Sirius anterior segment analysis device (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions) under a 6-mm pupil diameter at various postoperative intervals.

Results:

At 1 week and 1 month postoperatively, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) in the SMILE group was superior to that in the TransPRK group (
P
< .05 for both). At 1 week and 1 month postoperatively, the Strehl ratio value in the SMILE group was higher than that in the TransPRK group (
P
< .05 for both). At 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, coma was greater in the SMILE group than in the TransPRK group (
P
< .05 for all). Spherical aberrations were lower in the SMILE group than in the TransPRK group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (
P
< .05). At 6 months postoperatively, UDVA was −0.09 ± 0.08 and −0.11 ± 0.05 logMAR in the SMILE and TransPRK groups, respectively, which exceeded their preoperative corrected distance visual acuity of −0.05 ± 0.04 and −0.09 ± 0.08 logMAR (all
P
< .001). Compared with preoperative values, the Strehl ratio, total higher order, coma, and spherical aberration differences were significantly increased postoperatively in both groups (all
P
< .001).

Conclusions:
Both surgical methods improved UDVA and each had its advantages. The visual quality of SMILE was superior at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively (Strehl ratio values were higher than those of the TransPRK group), and its spherical aberration was lower than that of the TransPRK group at 3 and 6 months; TransPRK with SmartPulse technology with a 1,050-Hz ablation frequency showed that coma was significantly lower than that of the SMILE group at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

Published: July 2024

Purpose:
To assess the effects of intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt, as well as age, on postoperative visual function (corrected distance visual acuity [CDVA] and contrast sensitivity) by comparing an extended depth-of-focus IOL using higher order aspheric optics against a monofocal IOL from the same platform.

Methods:
This retrospective observational study targeted patients without other eye diseases who underwent surgery to implant the Tecnis Eyhance OptiBlue or the monofocal IOL Tecnis OptiBlue 1-Piece (J&J Vision) during cataract surgery from November 2021 to December 2022. The effects of age, axial length, IOL decentration, tilt, and corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs) on the postoperative 5 m CDVA and area under log contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) under photopic and scotopic conditions were evaluated within 3 months of surgery.

Results:

No significant difference was found in postoperative CDVA between the Tecnis Eyhance OptiBlue group (n = 61 eyes) and the Tecnis OptiBlue 1-Piece group (n = 35 eyes), but AULCSF was significantly better in the Tecnis Eyhance OptiBlue group for photopic (1.58 ± 0.13 vs 1.46 ± 0.18;
P
= .002) and scotopic (1.71 ± 0.11 vs 1.59 ± 0.19;
P
= .002) eyes. Multivariate analysis showed a negative correlation between AULCSF and IOL decentration and age in the Tecnis Eyhance OptiBlue group (
P
< .01), with no significant correlation with tilt, axial length, and corneal HOAs.

Conclusions:
The Tecnis Eyhance OptiBlue yielded significantly better contrast sensitivity under photopic and scotopic conditions than the Tecnis OptiBlue 1-Piece. However, it is important to consider the effects of IOL decentration and age when evaluating the contrast sensitivity of the Tecnis Eyhance OptiBlue.

De l’histoire à la fiction : la réception des Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson
Authors: Gheeraert-Graffeuille Claire 
Published: July 2024

Composée entre 1664 et 1667 par Lucy Hutchinson, « The Life of John Hutchinson » ne fut publiée qu’en 1806 sous le titre Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson. Entre ces deux dates, le manuscrit, aujourd’hui conservé aux Archives du Nottinghamshire, circula peu, à cause des idées républicaines qu’il véhiculait. Lorsque les Memoirs furent enfin publiés en 1806, ils connurent un vaste succès éditorial, et furent réédités et réimprimés tout au long du XIXe siècle. À partir des années 1830, des œuvres dérivées apparurent : versions abrégées des Memoirs, nombreuses biographies de Lucy Hutchinson, mais aussi – jusqu’au XXIe siècle – quelques romans et pièces de théâtre. L’objet de cette étude est d’examiner les lectures et les appropriations qu’a suscitées la première édition des Memoirs. Alors que Lucy Hutchinson rejette le genre romanesque pour privilégier l’histoire, il apparaît que cette lecture historique à laquelle elle aspirait est, dès en 1806, concurrencée par des lectures sentimentales et domestiques. Cet article sur la réception des Memoirs montre que les raisons de la déshistoricisation et de la fictionnalisation des Memoirs résident dans leur hybridité générique et dans l’invitation insistante qui est faite aux lecteurs du XIXe siècle de lire les Memoirs comme un roman historique.
Perros rabiosos y osos violadores: la violencia animal en las relaciones de sucesos (siglos XVII-XIX)
Authors: González Fernández Luis 
Published: July 2024

El presente artículo estudia una decena de relaciones de sucesos compuestas entre los siglos XVII y XIX, en las que se narran, ya en prosa ya en verso, acontecimientos violentos en relación con animales feroces. Algunos textos fueron impresos en Francia y los restantes en diversas ciudades españolas. Se intenta observar las características comunes de estas formas de literatura breve, así como señalar algunas de sus diferencias. Se pone especial énfasis en las escenas en las que se manifiesta la violencia cometida por animales, generalmente perros, o ejercida contra ellos, en el caso de un oso monstruoso.
La mujer china, ¿una “perfecta casada” en Oriente? Imágenes del serrallo chino en textos españoles, siglos XVI-XVIII
Authors: Soulier Eliette 
Published: July 2024

Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar las representaciones del serrallo chino contenidas en textos informativos y de ficción publicados en castellano en la España peninsular entre los siglos XVI y XVIII. A menudo considerado como un lugar de reclusión y aislamiento de un grupo social – mujeres – por el que ejerce el poder – el esposo polígamo –, el serrallo fue descrito casi exclusivamente por hombres europeos, que eran así doblemente ajenos a la realidad que describían. Además, el imaginario del serrallo en general fue intrínsecamente influido por la visión orientalista del serrallo del sultán turco. Por eso, queremos estudiar la manera como las representaciones españolas del harén chino fueron construidas teniendo en cuenta dicha influencia, examinando las posibles diferencias en función de los géneros textuales, lo que nos revelan sobre la época en la que nacieron, y lo que pueden aportar a nuestra reflexión sobre las nociones de reclusión y libertad.

Être propriétaire de son logement ou chercher à le devenir peut être considéré comme des marqueurs de l’ascension sociale et d’une « intégration réussie ». En France, près d’un tiers des populations immigrées sont propriétaires, une proportion stable depuis 30 ans, malgré d’importants contrastes de statut résidentiel en fonction des origines. Les premiers résultats d’une enquête qualitative, adossée à la post-enquête TeO2, menée auprès d’une quinzaine de personnes immigrées racisées propriétaires de leur logement en Île-de-France, permettent d’interroger les différents types de relation à l’achat du logement, et la répercussion d’inégalités relevant de la migration et des relations ethnico-raciales sur sur le processus d’acquisition.

Lung-resident CD3−NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ Cells Play an Important Role in Bacillus Calmette–Guérin Vaccine–Induced Protective Immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection
Authors: Durojaye Olamipejo , Vankayalapati Abhinav , Paidipally Padmaja , Mukherjee Tanmoy , Vankayalapati Ramakrishna , Radhakrishnan Rajesh Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Tissue-resident immune cells play important roles in local tissue homeostasis and infection control. There is no information on the functional role of lung-resident CD3−NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ cells in intranasal Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG)–vaccinated and/or Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)–infected mice. Therefore, we phenotypically and functionally characterized these cells in mice vaccinated intranasally with BCG. We found that intranasal BCG vaccination increased CD3−NK1.1+ cells with a tissue-resident phenotype (CD69+CD103+) in the lungs during the first 7 d after BCG vaccination. Three months post-BCG vaccination, Mtb infection induced the expansion of CD3−NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ (lung-resident) cells in the lung. Adoptive transfer of lung-resident CD3−NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ cells from the lungs of BCG-vaccinated mice to Mtb-infected naive mice resulted in a lower bacterial burden and reduced inflammation in the lungs. Our findings demonstrated that intranasal BCG vaccination induces the expansion of CD3−NK1.1+CD69+CD103+ (lung-resident) cells to provide protection against Mtb infection.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Breast milk confers multiple benefits to the neonate, including passive immunity against multiple microorganisms via Abs. However, it remains unclear whether breast milk–derived Abs affect vaccine-induced immunity in the neonate. We evaluated in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice whether breastfeeding from an mRNA-SARS-CoV-2–vaccinated dam affects vaccine-induced immunity in neonate mice. Using an experimental model that allows the distinction of maternal Abs and neonate Abs based on their allotype, we show that breastfeeding from an immune dam is associated with reduced vaccine immunity in the neonate. Importantly, mice that breastfed from an immune dam showed reduced numbers of plasma cells after vaccination, relative to mice that breastfed from a naive dam. Our subsequent studies using an mRNA-luciferase reporter system show that passive transfer of Abs through breastfeeding accelerates the clearance of vaccine Ag in suckling mice, resulting in reduced Ag availability. Altogether, maternal Abs transferred through breast milk can protect against infectious microorganisms, but they may also interfere with the neonate’s response to vaccination by accelerating the clearance of vaccine Ag. These findings are important for understanding the effects of maternal Abs on the neonate’s response to vaccines and may provide insights for improving neonatal vaccines.

Authors: Shumski Eric J. , Roach Megan Houston , Bird Matthew B. , Helton Matthew S. , Carver Jackson L. , Mauntel Timothy C. 
Published: July 2024

Context
Pain during movement screens is a risk factor for musculoskeletal injury (MSKI). Movement screens often require specialized or clinical expertise and large amounts of time to administer.

Objective
Evaluate if self-reported pain (1) with movement clearing screens is a risk factor for any MSKI, (2) with movement clearing screens is a risk factor for body region–specific MSKIs, and (3) with a greater number of movement clearing screens progressively increases MSKI risk.

Design
Retrospective cohort study.

Setting
Field-based.

Patients or Other Participants
Military service members (n = 4222).

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Active-duty service members self-reported pain during movement clearing screens (Shoulder Clearing, Spinal Extension, Squat-Jump-Land). Musculoskeletal injury data were abstracted up to 180 days post-screening. A traffic light model grouped service members if they self-reported pain during 0 (Green), 1 (Amber), 2 (Red), or 3 (Black) movement clearing screens. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, and prior MSKI determined the relationships between pain during movement clearing screens with any and body region–specific MSKIs.

Results
Service members self-reporting pain during the Shoulder Clearing (adjusted hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval [HRadj (95% CI)] = 1.58 [1.37, 1.82]), Spinal Extension (HRadj = 1.48 [1.28, 1.87]), or Squat-Jump-Land (HRadj = 2.04 [1.79, 2.32]) tests were more likely to experience any MSKI than service members reporting no pain. Service members with pain during the Shoulder Clearing (HRadj = 3.28 [2.57, 4.19]), Spinal Extension (HRadj = 2.80 [2.26, 3.49]), or Squat-Jump-Land (HRadj = 2.07 [1.76, 2.43]) tests were more likely to experience an upper extremity, spine, back, and torso, or lower extremity MSKI, respectively, than service members reporting no pain. The Amber (HRadj = 1.69 [1.48, 1.93]), Red (HRadj = 2.07 [1.73, 2.48]), and Black (HRadj = 2.31 [1.81, 2.95]) cohorts were more likely to experience an MSKI than the Green cohort.

Conclusions
Self-report movement clearing screens in combination with a traffic light model provide clinician- and nonclinician-friendly expedient means to identify service members at MSKI risk.

Authors: Ismail Abou Elkasem M. , Soliman Salah M.E. , Ashry Mahmoud 
Published: July 2024

Background and objective
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a type of mycotoxin, is present in food and feed and is toxic to both people and animals. Histological effects of AFB1 on the rat kidney have not been well understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of lactoperoxidase (LPO) against aflatoxin B1-induced nephrotoxicity in a trial to improve its clinical use.

Materials and methods
Adult male Wistar rats (150–200 g b.w) were randomly divided into four groups (10 rats each): (1) healthy control group, (2) healthy rats treated IP with LPO (50mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks, (3) rats intoxicated orally with AFB1 (80 µg/ kg/day) for 6 weeks, and (4) Animals treated with LPO for 6 weeks after intoxication with AFB1.

Results and conclusion
The results showed that LPO was successful in reducing aflatoxin B1-induced nephrotoxicity after 6 weeks of treatment. This was demonstrated by the significant decrease in blood urea, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, TNF-α, IL-1β, as well as kidney NO, MDA, and DNA damages matched with a significant increase in CD4 and albumin levels as well as kidney GSH and SOD. Furthermore, the LPO was successful in aflatoxin B1-induced tissue degenerations, reflecting its therapeutic potential. In conclusion, due to their antioxidant and radical scavenging properties, LPO may be as effective in improving nephrons from aflatoxin B1-induced nephrotoxicity.

BackgroundCompanion animals; dog and cat are closely associated with the daily life of humans and may be implemented in the transmission of many microorganisms to their adopters.Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P. aeruginosa) is a suited opportunistic and harsh to treat pathogen due to its rife environmental distribution, unique intrinsic and acquired resistance to numerous antimicrobials’ categories.ObjectiveThe current study targeted to survey the existence ofP. aeruginosain laboratory samples obtained from diseased dogs and cats. The study also investigated the susceptibility and resistance of recovered isolates against antimicrobials.Materials and methodsA total of 315 samples gathered from veterinary laboratories in Great Cairo governorates; fecal, ear, eye, respiratory, wounds and urine samples were previously collected from diseased dogs and cats. The samples were examined bacteriologically and biochemically to isolateP. aeruginosa. The isolates were assayed for their sensitivity and resistance versus 25 antimicrobials belonging to various categories.Results and conclusionFifty- eightP. aeruginosaisolates (18.41%) were obtained from 315 dogs (44/233, 18.88%) and cats’ (14/82, 17.07%) clinical swabs. The isolates were confirmed biochemically and via VITEK 2 compact system. All isolates showed alpha-type of hemolysis and pigment production. The obtainedP. aeruginosaisolates revealed a multidrug resistance pattern by 70.45% in dog isolates while cat isolates demonstrated a higher ratio 78.57%.P. aeruginosaisolates were highly resistant to cephalosporins, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and intermediate resistant to erythromycin fosfomycin. On the other hand imipenem, amikacin, azithromycin then gentamycin and ciprofloxacin were the most efficient onP. aeruginosaisolates. The study included thatP. aeruginosaisolates obtained from canine and feline clinical samples collected from Great Cairo laboratories were characterized by high and intermediate levels of antimicrobial resistance. However, this pattern was directed to some classes of antibiotics, which are not authorized for veterinary use, which could expose an early warning mark and give the need for ongoing monitoring.

Published: July 2024

Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease causing a variety of complications that can damage most organs, including the gonads. Diabetes was reported to be effectively treated using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

Objective
The objective of the work was to demonstrate the therapeutic role of stem cells in cases of ovarian damage due to diabetes.

Materials and methods
Eighteen adult female albino rats were divided evenly into three groups. The control group received an injection of 1 ml of saline intraperitoneally (i.p.). The streptozotocin (STZ)-treated group: that was given 60 mg/kg per body weight (i.p.) of STZ to induce DM, which was slaughtered after 4 weeks. The STZ+stem cell-treated group that got STZ then was allowed to recover for 4 weeks and then underwent an intravenous injection of one million MSC before being sacrificed. Measurements of blood glucose, serum estradiol (E2), follicular-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) were performed. Histological examination with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson stain, and immunohistochemical investigation for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were performed on the ovarian sections.

Results and conclusion
The STZ-induced DM group showed high glucose, FSH, and LH levels and decreased the E2 levels. Also, the inflammation, degeneration, and decreased PCNA immune expression of the ovary development in the STZ-induced DM group were observed. The treatment with the MScs reversed the effect of DM on glucose, FSH, LH, and E2. Additionally, the MScs improved the pathological alterations by increasing PCNA immune expression in the ovary. It was concluded that MSCs can effectively treat diabetes-induced ovarian damage.

Published: July 2024

Background
In recent years, Astragalus membranaceus extract has been widely used in animals due to their antimicrobial activities, ability to enhance immunity, and antioxidant functions.

Objective
We aimed to determine the antioxidant and inhibitory activities of A. membranaceus root powder (AMP) and its cytotoxicity and effects on hematological profile, rumen fermentation, antioxidant status, and immune response in Egyptian Nubian goats.

Materials and methods
Twenty-five goats are used in this study were received 20 g/animal/day of AMP mixed with their basic diet for 28 days. The study involved measuring the antioxidant activity of AMP using the 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay and determining the viability and cytotoxicity percentage using the methyl-thiazolyl tetrazolium protocol.

Results
After 14 and 28 days of the daily feeding with 20 g of AMP, there was a significant increase in hematological profile, leukocyte count, total volatile fatty acid, and rumen ammonium concentrations with an enhancement in protozoal activity. Also, there was an increase in catalase and total antioxidant capacities along with promoting immunoglobulin (A, M, and G) contents with no significant effect on the insulin level compared with 0 days. Malondialdehyde contents decreased significantly. For all examined concentrations, A. membranaceus showed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. It also showed a high cytotoxicity percentage in cancer cells.

Discussion and conclusions

A. membranaceus root extract supplementation significantly increases hematology parameters and rumen fermentation, and improves immune status and antioxidant activity both in-vitro and in live animals. It also exhibits potent cytotoxicity on cancer cells.
