ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between sleep patterns and myopia progression among younger school-age children at a primary school in Changning District of Shanghai, based on the data from the Shanghai Students’ Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Monitoring System and a sleep-specific survey, so as to provide data support for myopia prevention and control in this age group. MethodsOne primary school was selected from the common diseases and health influencing factors monitoring system for students in Changning District, Shanghai. A total of 230 first-grade students were included in the study. Myopia and refractive parameters were examined, and sleep patterns were investigated. General demographic characteristics and myopia-related behavior data of the students were also collected. Sleep patterns were evaluated in terms of sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and sleep quality, with the latter assessed using the Chinese version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). Multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between sleep patterns and myopia progression among these students. ResultsThe results of the regression analyses revealed that the total CSHQ score of the students at baseline survey was (48.85±7.15) points. Their sleep efficiency was (94.49±8.48)%, sleep duration was (9.58±0.93) hours, and the proportion of those with insufficient sleep (<10 hours) was 78.26%. At baseline survey, students’ higher daytime sleepiness scores were associated with lower spherical equivalent (SE) ( β=-0.18, 95%CI: -0.31 to -0.04) and an increased risk of axial length (AL) / corneal radius (CR) ratio >3 (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.00 to 2.29), whereas longer sleep duration and higher sleep efficiency were associated with higher SE (β=0.18, 95%CI: 0.05 to 0.32; β=0.17, 95%CI: 0.04 to 0.31, respectively), shorter (AL) (β=-0.15, 95%CI: -0.27 to -0.03; β=-0.13, 95%CI: -0.25 to 0, respectively) and a reduced risk of AL /CR>3 (OR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.51 to 0.96; OR=0.73, 95%CI: 0.53 to 0.99, respectively). At baseline survey, children’s higher propensity for sleep problems (OR=1.70, 95%CI: 1.04 to 2.78), sleep resistance (OR=2.26, 95%CI: 1.36 to 3.75), and sleep anxiety scores (OR=2.15, 95%CI: 1.33 to 3.48) were all associated with an increased risk of AL/CR >3 at follow-up (all P<0.05). Furthermore, higher sleep anxiety scores predicted prolonged AL at follow-up (β=0.03, 95%CI: 0 to 0.05). According to the mixed-effects model, higher daytime sleepiness scores and prolonged sleep duration were independently linked to reduced right-eye SE (β=-0.05, 95%CI: -0.10 to 0, P<0.05) and shorter right-eye AL (β=-0.05, 95%CI: -0.10 to 0, P<0.05). ConclusionIn this school in Shanghai, there are problems of insufficient and poor-quality sleep among young children. Sleep problems such as sleep resistance, delayed sleep onset, sleep anxiety, and daytime sleepiness among children may accelerate the risk of myopia progression, while longer sleep duration and higher sleep efficiency may serve as protective factors against the occurrence and development of myopia.

Objective: To discover molecular markers associated with lung adenocarcinoma diagnosis/prognosis and drug resistance through screening of differentially expressed genes based on published chip data in gene expression databases using bioinformatics methods. Methods: Comprehensive analysis was performed in available mRNA microarray datasets including lung adenocarcinoma tissues dataset GSE32863 and lung adenocarcinoma taxane-platin resistance dataset GSE77209 from the gene expression omnibus(GEO) database. Gene ontology enrichment analysis, gene pathway enrichment analysis and protein interaction network analysis were performed based on significantly correlated genes. The expression level of genes was validated in the cancer genome atlas(TCGA) dataset. Survival differences were assessed by the log-rank test in TCGA lung adenocarcinoma dataset. Based on the publications genomics of drug sensitivity in cancer(GDSC) database in CellMiner cross database(CellMiner CDB), Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between differentially expressed genes and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50) of anticancer drugs. Results : There were a total of 77 genes which had a different expression in resistance lung adenocarcinoma cells and lung adenocarcinoma cancer tissues. The functional enrichment analysis showed that these co-different expression genes were mainly enriched in microtubule, extracellular exosome, cell cycle and signaling by nuclear receptors. Protein-protein interactions(PPI) network screened 6 most connected genes as molecular complex(MCODE). Among the MCODE, overexpressed ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 T(UBE2T), kinesin family member 20A(KIF20A), PCNA clamp associated factor(KIAA0101), pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1(PTTG1) and NIMA related kinase 2(NEK2) were associated with poor outcomes. Survival analysis results showed that these five genes were upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and drug-resistant cells and were significantly associated with poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Drug sensitivity analysis results suggested that high expression of PTTG1 and UBE2T was significantly associated with sensitivity to multiple anticancer drugs, including paclitaxel and docetaxel. RT-PCR validation showed that PTTG1 andUBE2T were highly expressed in docetaxel-resistant cells A549-TXR and H358-TXR. Conclusion PTTG1 andUBE2T holds the potential to be chemoresistance markers in lung adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the expression level of endotoxin and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R)and the occurrence of suppurative otitis media in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.METHODS Seventy-nine nasopharyngeal cancer patients who received radiotherapy in Nanyang Downtown Hospital between January 2022 and July 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and they were followed up for a period of 1 year,and then grouped according to the occurrence of suppurative otitis media during the follow-up period,i.e.,21 cases in the occurringgroup and 58 cases in the non-occurring group,and the baseline data of patients in the two groups were compared,and the levels of endotoxin and sIL-2R were detected at the end of radiotherapy and analyze the relationship between endotoxin,sIL-2R and the occurrence of purulent otitis media after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.RESULTS A total of 21 cases(26.58%)of 79 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients developed suppurative otitis media after radiotherapy.Compared with the non-occurrence group,the radiotherapy time,endotoxin,sIL-2R,TNM stage Ⅲ,Eustachian tube involvement,nasal cavity structural abnormality,inflammatory reaction,and palatal sail tensor atrophy degree≥30%were high in the occurrence group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The results of logistic multifactorial analysis showed that inflammatory reaction,endotoxin,abnormal nasal structure,TNM stage(Ⅲ),sIL-2R,Eustachian tube involvement,duration of radiotherapy,and degree of atrophy of palatofacial tensor atrophy≥30%were all risk factors for suppurative otitis media.The results of Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed that endotoxin and sIL-2R were positively correlated with the occurrence of septic otitis media(r=0.493,0.516,P<0.001).Analysis using the ROC curve showed that:endotoxin:AUC value:0.657,sensitivity:61.90%,specificity:72.41%,accuracy:69.62%,95%CI=0.523-0.791;sIL-2R:AUC value:0.697,sensitivity:71.43%,specificity:67.24%,accuracy:68.35%,95%CI=0.566-0.829;combined test:AUC value:0.804,sensitivity:95.24%,specificity:65.52%,accuracy:73.42%,95%CI=0.705-0.903,the best value of the two combined tests.CONCLUSION The elevated levels of endotoxin and sIL-2R in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy may be associated with suppurative otitis media.

Objective: To establish a machine learning-based precision blood donor recruitment model at the county level and assess its generalizability and applicability. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using blood donation and SMS recruitment data from the Taicang Branch of the Suzhou Blood Center between 2019 and 2024. Multiple machine learning algorithms were employed, including extreme gradient boosting, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and multilayer perceptron. These were combined with techniques such as synthetic minority oversampling, undersampling, and cost-sensitive learning (using MFE and MSFE loss functions). Model parameters were optimized through grid search to identify the best-performing model. Results: In a prospective comparative study against conventional methods, the machine learning models increased the recruitment success rate among high-willingness donors by an average of 129.15%, and the recruitment efficiency per SMS improved by 125.02% compared with the traditional method. Under full-scale SMS sending, the recruitment rate per SMS increased by 42.61%, and SMS sending efficiency improved by 31.77%, significantly enhancing recruitment performance. Conclusion: This study represents the first application of a machine learning-based precision donor recruitment model at the county-level in China. The precise recruitment framework not only improves recruitment efficiency and reduces recruitment costs but also demonstrates strong scalability and generalizability. It provides a scientific and feasible intelligent pathway to ensure the safety and sustainability of the blood supply.

Rheumatoid arthritis （RA） is a systemic autoimmune disease with local joint pain as the main clinical manifestation. It is one of the diseases specifically responding to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The occurrence of RA is not only related to innate factors like genetic disorder but also associated with environmental factors， such as diets and microbial infection. The intestine， a vital human organ with digestive and immune functions， is a place where microorganisms colonize and exert intestinal metabolism-improving， barrier-protecting， and immunomodulatory effects. As the research on the onset and treatment of RA is deepening， the potential relationship of intestinal structural and functional abnormalities with the pathogenesis and progression of RA has been revealed. As clinical and experimental studies indicated， joint inflammation coexists with the impaired barrier function， imbalanced immune cells， and disordered gut microbiota. The theory of the gut-joint axis in the pathogenesis， progression， and treatment of RA is highly consistent with the holistic view in TCM. The recent pharmacological studies have shown that Chinese medicine prescriptions and active components can inhibit inflammation， protect joints， and maintain the intestinal function. This article summarizes the basic connotation of the gut-joint axis in RA and the mechanism by which TCM protect the intestinal barrier and modulate the immunity by regulating the gut microbiota structure and improving microbial metabolism in the treatment of RA. This review gives insights into the future research on the gut-joint axis in RA.

Objectives:To investigate the application value of multi-parameter cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in evaluating the prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods:A total of 1690 patients with CHD were retrospectively enrolled in this study.All patients underwent comprehensive CMR imaging at 3.0 T.The CMR protocols included cine imaging,and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging.All patients were followed-up by telephone.The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE),including all-cause death,heart failure related hospitalization,and cardiac death.Results:During a median follow-up of 41 (37,49) months,MACEs were recorded in 456 patients (27.0％).Multivariate Cox analysis showed that left ventricular ejection fraction (HR=0.954,95％CI:0.945-0.963),two-dimensional longitudinal peak strain (HR=1.182,95％CI:1.133-1.233),infarct volume (HR=1.037,95％CI:1.032-1.043),percutaneous coronary intervention (HR=0.975,95％CI:0.937-0.991),two-vessel disease (HR=1.344,95％CI:1.076-1.683) and three-vessel disease (HR=1.651,95％CI:1.309-2.083) were independent predictors of MACE (all P<0.001).Conclusions:CMR can be used to evaluate the prognosis in patients with CHD.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of urethral stent tube irrigation in preventing postoperative complications in adolescents with hypospadias.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted using the clinical data of adolescents with hypospadias treated at the Department of Urology, Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, from April 2016 to July 2023. Patients were divided into control group and study group according to whether urethral stent tube was inserted in urethra during operation. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. For two days before surgery, patients were instructed to cleanse the surgical site daily with body wash and a 5% povidone-iodine solution. In the control group, patients received postoperative care with an indwelling urinary catheter. In the study group, in addition to the urinary catheter, a urethral stent tube was placed in the posterior urethra, and postoperative urethral irrigation with saline was performed. Postoperative complications, including wound infection, urethral fistula, urethral stricture, and urethral diverticulum, were monitored. Categorical data were expressed as frequencies and percentages and were analyzed using the χ2 test or Monte Carlo-based χ2 test. Continuous data with normal distribution are presented as Mean±SD and were analyzed using the t-test. Non-normally distributed continuous data were expressed as M ( Q1, Q3) and were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 76 patients were enrolled in the study, with 43 patients in the control group [median age 12.9(12.2, 13.7) years, reconstructed urethral length (3.88±1.86) cm] and 33 patients in the study group [median age 12.5(11.3, 14.1) years, reconstructed urethral length (3.30±1.45)cm]. Postoperatively, 32 patients (74.4%) in the control group experienced complications, including 24 cases (55.8%) of wound infection, 16 cases (37.2%) of urethral fistula, 6 cases (14.0%) of urethral stricture, and 2 cases (4.7%) of diverticulum. In the study group, only 1 patient (3.0%) developed both wound infection and urethral fistula. The incidence of wound infection, urethral fistula, and overall complications was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (all P<0.01). Conclusion:Postoperative urethral stent irrigation in adolescents with hypospadias significantly reduces the incidence of wound infection and urethral fistula.
