The UK screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) updated 2022 guidelines were developed by a multidisciplinary guideline development group from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, following the standards of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. They were published on the websites of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in March 2022, and formally published in Early Human Development in March 2023. The guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the screening and treatment of ROP. The most significant change in the 2022 updated version compared to the previous guidelines is the lowering of the gestational age screening criterion to below 31 weeks. The treatment section covers treatment indications, timing, methods, and follow-up visits of ROP. This article interprets the guidelines and compares them with ROP guidelines/consensus in China, providing a reference for domestic peers.

Nonisospectral water wave field: Fast and adaptive modal identification and prediction via reduced-order nonlinear solutions.

Real-world water wave fields exhibit significant nonlinear and nonisospectral characteristics, making it challenging to predict their evolution by relying solely on numerical simulation or exact solutions using integrable system theory. Hence, this paper introduces a fast and adaptive method of modal identification and prediction in nonisospectral water wave fields using the reduced-order nonlinear solution (RONS) scheme. Specifically, we discuss the coarse graining and mode extraction of wave field snapshots from the data-driven and physics-driven perspectives and utilize the RONS method for principle modal prediction of nonisospectral water wave fields. This is achieved by investigating the standard and nonisospectral Gardner system describing nonlinear water waves as a demonstration. Through detailed comparison and analysis, the fundamental solitary behaviors and dispersive effects in the Gardner system are discussed. Subsequently, a neighbor approximation is developed that combines the essences of symbolic precomputation and numerical computation in the RONS procedure, which exploits the locality of nonlinear interactions in water wave fields.

Immune response analysis of solid organ transplantation recipients inoculated with inactivated COVID-19 vaccine: A retrospective analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of solid organ transplantation recipients inoculated with an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the antibody levels and related adverse events of non-transplantation subjects and solid organ transplant recipients, both pre-transplantation (individuals awaiting organ transplantation) and post-transplantation (individuals who have undergone organ transplantation), who received inactivated COVID-19 vaccines from February 2021 to July 2022. Results: The study included 38 pre-transplantation vaccination group, 129 post-transplantation vaccination group, and 246 non-transplantation group. The antibody titer was assessed monthly within the period of 1-12 months after the last injection. The antibody-positive rate among the three groups were 36.84, 20.30, 61.17% (P < 0.05). The antibody-positive rates among three groups with one, two doses vaccine were not significantly different (P > 0.05), but were significantly different after three doses (P < 0.05). The antibody titers among three groups were significantly different after two doses (P < 0.05). Adverse reactions occurred in six transplant recipients, which were relieved after treatment, and not in the non-transplantation subjects. Conclusion: Inactivated COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective for solid organ transplantation recipients, at least two doses of which should be completed before organ transplant surgery.

Through-polymer, via technology-enabled, flexible, lightweight, and integrated devices for implantable neural probes.

In implantable electrophysiological recording systems, the headstage typically comprises neural probes that interface with brain tissue and integrated circuit chips for signal processing. While advancements in MEMS and CMOS technology have significantly improved these components, their interconnection still relies on conventional printed circuit boards and sophisticated adapters. This conventional approach adds considerable weight and volume to the package, especially for high channel count systems. To address this issue, we developed a through-polymer via (TPV) method inspired by the through-silicon via (TSV) technique in advanced three-dimensional packaging. This innovation enables the vertical integration of flexible probes, amplifier chips, and PCBs, realizing a flexible, lightweight, and integrated device (FLID). The total weight of the FLIDis only 25% that of its conventional counterparts relying on adapters, which significantly increased the activity levels of animals wearing the FLIDs to nearly match the levels of control animals without implants. Furthermore, by incorporating a platinum-iridium alloy as the top layer material for electrical contact, the FLID realizes exceptional electrical performance, enabling in vivo measurements of both local field potentials and individual neuron action potentials. These findings showcase the potential of FLIDs in scaling up implantable neural recording systems and mark a significant advancement in the field of neurotechnology.
