Retinal vein injection guided by microscopic image is an innovative procedure for treating retinal vein occlusion. However, the retina organization is complex, fine, and weak, and the operation scale and force are small. Surgeons' limited operation and force-sensing accuracy make it difficult to perform precise and stable drug injection operations on the retina in a magnified field of image vision. In this paper, a 3-DOF automatic drug injection mechanism was designed for microscopic image guiding robot-assisted needle delivery and automatic drug injection. Additionally, the robot-assisted real-time three-dimensional micro-force-sensing method for retinal vein injection was proposed. Based on the layout of three FBG sensors on the hollow outer wall of the nested needle tube in a circular array of nickel-titanium alloys, the real-time sensing of the contact force between the intraoperative instrument and the blood vessel was realized. The experimental data of 15 groups of porcine eyeball retinal veins with diameters of 100-200 μm showed that the piercing force of surgical instruments and blood vessels is 5.95∼12.97 mN, with an average value of 9.98 mN. Furthermore, 20 groups of experimental measurements on chicken embryo blood vessels with diameters of 150-500 μm showed that the piercing force was 4.02∼23.4 mN, with an average value of 12.05 mN.

Inhibition of RIPK1-driven necroptosis ameliorates inflammatory hyperalgesia caused by lipopolysaccharide: involvement of TLR-, NLRP3-, and caspase-11-mediated signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that blocking the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome can help reduce inflammatory pain linked to conditions like demyelination in the central nervous system.
- This study tests necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s), a specific RIPK1 inhibitor, on LPS-induced inflammatory pain in male mice, assessing pain sensitivity through hot plate tests and examining related protein changes.
- Results show that Nec-1s not only prevents LPS-induced pain relief but also reverses the activation of key proteins and signals involved in inflammation and demyelination, suggesting that RIPK1 inhibitors could be a promising treatment for managing inflammatory pain.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an ideal target organ for obesity treatment. Resinacein S is extracted from Ganoderma lucidum and can elevate Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in cells, but its related effects at the animal level are not clear. The mice were fed with high-fat diet to construct obesity models and treated with Resinacein S.

Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) injections combined with Anastrozole are increasingly used to treat adolescent idiopathic short stature (ISS), warranting further research. This study evaluated their effects on height, growth rate and adverse reactions in 72 adolescents with ISS treated at our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. Patients were divided into a control group (rhGH alone) and a study group (rhGH + Anastrozole).

Studies have confirmed that elevated glucose levels could lead to renal fibrosis through the process of ferroptosis. Liraglutide, a human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, is a potential treatment option for diabetes. This study aimed to examine the potential of liraglutide (LIRA) in inhibiting ferroptosis and reducing high glucose-induced renal fibrotic injury in mice, and whether the Fsp1-CoQ10-NAD(P)H signal pathway is a mechanism for this effect.
