Objective:This article aims to investigate effect of information-knowledge-attitude-practice(IKAP)theory-based health management mode on rehabilitation effect and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 160 CHD patients admitted in First Depart-ment of Cardiovascular Medicine,the First People's Hospital of Wuhu and first received,transradical artery percu-taneous coronary intervention between August 2022 and February 2023.They were divided into control group(n=80,routine health management)and intervention group(n=80,IKAP theory-based health management mode),and both groups were intervened for 1 month.Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,frequency of pain attack,scores of Hamilton Anxiety scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression scale(HAMD),World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF(WHOQOL-BREF)and Activities of Daily Living(ADL),and incidence of complications were com-pared between two groups.Results:After intervention,compared with patients in control group,those in interven-tion group had significant lower VAS score[(2.15±0.34)points vs.(3.99±0.44)points],frequency of pain at-tack[(1.37±0.30)times/d vs.(2.31±0.33)times/d],scores of HAMA[(9.21±0.65)points vs.(12.87±0.63)points]and HAMD[(8.87±0.52)points vs.(13.57±0.92)points],and significant higher scores of ADL[(78.32±2.95)points vs.(68.54±2.86)points]and WHOQOL-BREF[(311.54±10.73)points vs.(251.38±10.30)points](P＜0.001 all).Incidence of complications in intervention group was significantly lower than that of control group(15.00％vs.31.25％,P=0.015).Conclusion:IKAP theory-based health management mode could effectively improve the psychological state and self-care ability of daily living,reduce frequency of pain attack and incidence of complications,and improve quality of life in CHD patients.

Visual system is a critical sensory system in humans and a vital component of the central nervous system, which is responsible for over 80% of external information acquisition.Visual function is a key indicator of overall health.With socioeconomic development, the public has higher expectations for eye health, shifting the focus of eye health initiatives from disease treatment to comprehensive public eye health.Key scientific challenges include how to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat blindness and visual impairment at an early stage; how to enhance the overall visual quality of patients to ensure not just sight but clear and comfortable vision; and how to meet the public's diverse and multi-tiered eye health needs.Visual science is an interdisciplinary field exploring the development of the visual system, the mechanisms of vision, and brain-related perceptual, cognitive and behavioral processes involving sight.Prioritizing and advancing visual science research is of great significance for promoting comprehensive eye health and implementing the Healthy China Strategy.This article first outlines the concept and research significance of visual science.It then highlights the key scientific questions in visual science pertaining to several major eye diseases, such as myopia, amblyopia, cataract, fundus diseases, glaucoma, and corneal diseases, reviews the historical foundation of visual science research in China, selectively summarizes key achievements and ongoing progress in this field, analyzes the landscape and challenges faced by domestic research, and proposes, to this end, strategies to advance visual science in China.These recommendations are designed to promote visual science research in China and ultimately advance comprehensive eye health.

Objective:To investigate the expression of erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte kinase receptor A10 (EphA10) in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues, and analyze its correlation with clinical features and prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 112 patients with gastric cancer from January 2018 to December 2023 in Eastern Theater Command Air Force Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The expression of EphA10 in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues was detected by EnVision immunohistochemical staining. The relationship between EphA10 expression and clinicopathological features was analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and the comparison used the log-rank test. Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of the overall survival time in patients with gastric cancer.Results:The positive expression rate of EphA10 in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues: 44.6% (50/112) vs. 0, and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 64.37, P<0.01). In patients with gastric cancer, the positive expression of EphA10 in gastric cancer tissues was correlated with tumor long diameter, differentiation, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis ( P<0.01 or <0.05), but without age, gender and distant metastasis ( P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the median overall survival time in patients with positive EphA10 expression was significantly lower than that in patients with negative EphA10 expression: 18 months vs. 48 months, and there was statistical difference (log-rank χ2 = 53.66, P<0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis result showed that tumor long diameter ≥3 cm, TNM stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ, lymph node metastasis and EphA10 positive expression were the independent risk factors of the overall survival time in patients with gastric cancer ( HR = 1.250, 1.515, 1.321 and 0.831; 95% CI 1.143 to 1.368, 1.267 to 1.813, 1.168 to 1.497 and 0.756 to 0.913; P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions:The expression level of EphA10 in gastric cancer tissues is up-regulated, and its expression level is correlated with the clinicopathological features. EphA10 can be used as one of the reference indicators for clinical prognosis evaluation in patients with gastric cancer.

Background::The ratio of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) endpoints, yet its prognostic validity in high-risk populations and for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-related adverse events remains unestablished.Methods::This study included 32,609 people aged 35-75 years in Fujian Province, China, who were at high risk for CVD. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality during follow-up. Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between the HDL-C/LDL-C ratio and the endpoints.Result::On the basis of the restricted RCS curve, the participants were classified as having a low (< 0.3), middle (0.3-0.5), or high (> 0.5) HDL-C/LDL-C ratio. Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that the risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.14-1.93, p < 0.01 for low; HR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.06-1.58, p < 0.05 for high) was increased in the low and high groups. Participants without T2DM who were at high risk for CVD had similar prognoses (HR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.19-2.28, p < 0.01 for low; HR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.05-1.74, p < 0.01 for high). However, this association was not found in participants with T2DM who were at high risk for CVD. Conclusion::HDL-C/LDL-C can be used to predict the prognosis of individuals at high risk for CVD, and maintaining HDL-C/LDL-C ratios between 0.3 and 0.5 may be the most helpful range for this population. Furthermore, maintaining this ratio range holds clinical significance for cohorts without T2DM, although further exploration is needed in this T2DM cohort.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective To examine the diagnosis and treatment of disseminated infection caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi in a child with leukemia and improve the awareness of the pathogen in clinical and laboratory practice.Methods A case of disseminated infection caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi in a child with leukemia in Shanghai Children's Hospital was retrospectively analyzed,including diagnosis and treatment details.Similar cases were identified from PubMed,Wanfang Data,VIP,and CNKI databases since database establishment until June 30,2024,using search terms"Enterocytozoon bieneusi".The relevant literature was reviewed.Results This child had acute lymphoblastic leukemia as the underlying disease and was admitted to hospital for antimicrobial treatment due to fever and abdominal discomfort.The case was considered bacterial infection complicated with Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection,confirmed by detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae in blood and detection of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in blood and ascites by metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS).The treatment was switched to tigecycline plus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole at a sufficient dose,which resulted in resolution of symptoms.Six months later,the patient suffered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and bone marrow depression,Enterocytozoon bieneusi disseminated infection,septic shock.Her family gave up treatment and the child died.Literature review indicated that most patients infected with Enterocytozoon bieneusi had underlying conditions such as organ transplantation,AIDS,and leukemia associated with poor immunity.The onset symptoms are diarrhea,abdominal discomfort,and fever.Enterocytozoon bieneusi was detected by using methods such as modified Masson's trichrome stain,fluorescent calcofluor white staining,molecular detection techniques,and immunofluorescence.The patients were treated with drugs such as albendazole,nitazoxanide,fumagillin,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.Conclusions Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus that infects immunocompromised patients and can cause abdominal discomfort,diarrhea,fever,and even disseminated infection and death.Conventional laboratory methods cannot culture Enterocytozoon bieneusi.Molecular detection techniques can be used to identify the pathogen early.

Objective:To explore the impacts of smoking on the need for respiratory support and mortality in patients hospitalized with pneumonia.Methods:A total of 24 367 patients hospitalized with pneumonia from 2009 to 2017 in the China Kadoorie Biobank, were included. Smoking status was self-reported, and data regarding respiratory support during hospitalization and mortality during follow-up were obtained from medical claims and death registries, respectively. OR, HR, and 95% CI were calculated and adjusted for potential confounders using logistic regression models and Cox proportional hazards regression models, respectively. Results:Among males, current smokers or those who quit smoking due to illness had higher risks of requiring respiratory support ( OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.29), 1-year mortality ( HR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.32-2.08), and 5-year mortality ( HR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.13-1.54) following pneumonia hospitalization compared to nonsmokers. Male smokers who started smoking at a younger age or with longer smoking duration had the highest mortality risks (trend test both P<0.05). Female current smokers or those who quit smoking due to illness had higher risks of 1-year mortality ( HR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.17-2.23) and 5-year mortality ( HR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.06-1.67). We found no statistically significant difference in 90-day mortality between current smokers/those who quit smoking due to illness and nonsmokers. Conclusions:Smoking was associated with higher risks of requiring respiratory support and mortality in patients hospitalized with pneumonia, especially among males and heavy smokers. These findings highlight the need for targeted strategies to promote smoking cessation in patients hospitalized with pneumonia.
