AIM:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of knowledge-attitude-practice in myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents in Ningbo City, thereby providing a scientific basis for formulating targeted prevention strategies.METHODS: Children and adolescents aged 6-12 years old were selected from the medical-school collaborative myopia prevention network in Ningbo City between August 2024 and May 2025 using stratified cluster sampling. Information on myopia prevention knowledge(15 items)and practice(9 items)was collected through questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were used to analyze factors influencing myopia occurrence in children and adolescents.RESULTS: A total of 664 children and adolescents aged 6-12 years were enrolled in this study. Participants were divided by age into three groups: 6-7 years old(n=221), 8-9 years old(n=221), and 10-12 years old(n=222). Of the 664 questionnaires distributed, 637 valid questionnaires were returned(201 from the 6-7 age group, 235 from the 8-9 age group, and 201 from the 10-12 age group), yielding an effective response rate of 95.9%. Based on myopia screening results, the non-myopic group comprised 203 participants(31.9%), including 100 males and 103 females, with a mean age of 8.82±1.98 years old. The myopic group comprised 434 participants(68.1%), including 213 males and 221 females, with a mean age of 9.10±1.95 years old. The myopia prevalence rates in the 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12 age groups were 37.8%(76/201), 71.9%(169/235), and 94.0%(189/201), respectively(P<0.001). Regarding the knowledge and practice of myopia prevention, the overall awareness rate in the non-myopic group(59.7%±9.7%)was significantly higher than that in the myopic group(48.7%±8.5%; P<0.001). Additionally, the non-myopic group scored higher on the key practice of “regular eye examinations”(4.27±0.96)compared to the myopic group(4.10±1.05; P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age was the primary risk factor for myopia occurrence.CONCLUSION: Age is the dominant factor in the onset of myopia, and there is a phenomenon of “knowledge-practice gap”; the traditional health education model has limitations, and a precise prevention and control system based on developmental patterns should be established.

OBJECTIVE To explore the pharmacokinetic characteristics of 3 blood-absorbed components of Xiangshao sanjie oral liquid in rats with hyperplasia of mammary gland （HMG）. METHODS Female SD rats were divided into control group and HMG group according to body weight， with 6 rats in each group. The HMG group was given estrogen+progesterone to construct HMG model. After modeling， two groups were given 1.485 g/kg of Xiangshao sanjie oral liquid （calculated by crude drug） intragastrically， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. Blood samples were collected before the first administration （0 h）， and at 5， 15， 30 minutes and 1， 2， 4， 8， 12， 24 hours after the last administration， respectively. Using chlorzoxazone as the internal standard， the plasma concentrations of ferulic acid， paeoniflorin and rosmarinic acid in rats were detected by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters [area under the drug time curve （AUC0－24 h， AUC0－∞）， mean residence time （MRT0－∞）， half-life （t1/2）， peak time （tmax）， peak concentration （cmax）] were calculated by the non-atrioventricular model using Phoenix WinNonlin 8.1 software. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the AUC0－24 h， AUC0－∞ and cmax of ferulic acid in the HMG group were significantly increased （P＜0.05）； the AUC0－24 h， AUC0－∞ ， MRT0－∞ ， t1/2 and cmax of paeoniflorin increased， but there was no significant difference between 2 groups （P＞0.05）； the AUC0－24 h and MRT0-∞ of rosmarinic acid were significantly increased or prolonged （P＜0.05）. C ONCLUSIONS In HMG model rats， the exposure of ferulic acid， paeoniflorin and rosmarinic acid in Xiangshao sanjie oral liquid all increase， and the retention time of rosmarinic acid is significantly prolonged.

ObjectiveTo construct a large language model （LLM）-based intelligent pre-consultation system for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） to improve efficacy of clinical practice. MethodsA TCM large language model was fine-tuned using DeepSpeed ZeRO-3 distributed training strategy based on YAYI 2-30B. A weighted undirected graph network was designed and an agent-based syndrome differentiation model was established based on relationship data extracted from TCM literature and clinical records. An agent collaboration framework was developed to integrate the TCM LLM with the syndrome differentiation model. Model performance was comprehensively evaluated by Loss function， BLEU-4， and ROUGE-L metrics， through which training convergence， text generation quality， and language understanding capability were assessed. Professional knowledge test sets were developed to evaluate system proficiency in TCM physician licensure content， TCM pharmacist licensure content， TCM symptom terminology recognition， and meridian identification. Clinical tests were conducted to compare the system with attending physicians in terms of diagnostic accuracy， consultation rounds， and consultation duration. ResultsAfter 100 000 iterations， the training loss value was gradually stabilized at about 0.7±0.08， indicating that the TCM-LLM has been trained and has good generalization ability. The TCM-LLM scored 0.38 in BLEU-4 and 0.62 in ROUGE-L， suggesting that its natural language processing ability meets the standard. We obtained 2715 symptom terms， 505 relationships between diseases and syndromes， 1011 relationships between diseases and main symptoms， and 1 303 600 relationships among different symptoms， and constructed the Agent of syndrome differentiation model. The accuracy rates in the simulated tests for TCM practitioners， licensed pharmacists of Chinese materia medica， recognition of TCM symptom terminology， and meridian recognition were 94.09%， 78.00%， 87.50%， and 68.80%， respectively. In clinical tests， the syndrome differentiation accuracy of the system reached 88.33%， with fewer consultation rounds and shorter consultation time compared to the attending physicians （P＜0.01）， suggesting that the system has a certain pre- consultation ability. ConclusionThe LLM-based intelligent TCM pre-diagnosis system could simulate diagnostic thinking of TCM physicians to a certain extent. After understanding the patients' natural language， it collects all the patient's symptom through guided questioning， thereby enhancing the diagnostic and treatment efficiency of physicians as well as the consultation experience of the patients.

Head and neck tumors are one of the major diseases that threaten human health. Targeted chemotherapy is an important treatment for head and neck tumors. However, many anti-cancer drugs are difficult to reach effective concentrations in tumors and can cause damage to normal tissues. Therefore, the efficient delivery of anti-tumor drugs, improvement of their therapeutic effects, and reduction of their adverse effects on the whole body and locally are urgent issues in targeted drug research. Liposomes have been widely studied due to their unique characteristics, including amphiphilicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. This article outlines the current applications and prospects of liposome drug delivery systems in different treatment modalities for head and neck tumors in recent years, aiming to provide more options for the treatment of head and neck tumors.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D],immune cell subsets,and helper T cell(Th)1 and Th2 in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion(URSA).Methods A total of 307 URSA patients were enrolled as URSA group,which was further divided into non-maintenance of pregnancy group(n=127)and ma-intenance of pregnancy group(n=180)based on pregnancy maintenance status.Another 307 healthy pregnant women in the same period were selected as control group.The levels of 25(OH)D,immune cell subsets,and Th1/Th2 expression were compared among these groups.Pearson correlation analy-sis was used to explore the correlations of 25(OH)D and immune cell subsets with Th1/Th2 expres-sion in URSA patients.Results Compared with the control group,the URSA group had significantly lower levels of 25(OH)D and interleukin-10(IL-10),and higher levels of CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD16+CD56+,CD19+,interleukin-2(IL-2),and tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α)(P＜0.001).Compared with the maintenance of pregnancy group,the non-maintenance of pregnancy group had significantly lower levels of 25(OH)D and IL-10,and higher levels of CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD16+CD56+,CD19+,IL-2,and TNF-α(P＜0.001).Pearson analysis revealed that 25(OH)D in URSA patients was significantly negatively correlated with IL-2 and TNF-α(P＜0.05),while positively correlated with IL-10(P＜0.05).Immune cell sub-sets,including CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD16+CD56+,and CD19+were significantly positively correlated with IL-2 and TNF-α(P＜0.05),while negatively correlated with IL-10 in URSA patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are abnormalities in 25(OH)D,im-mune cell subsets,and Th1/Th2 cytokine expression in URSA patients,and these expressions differ in URSA patients with different pregnancy outcomes.The underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of Th1/Th2 cytokine balance.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of the ROX index and its modified versions for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) in pediatric patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF).Methods:This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 130 AHRF children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Children’s Hospital between January 2020 and December 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups: HFNC success ( n=99) and HFNC failure ( n=31). Clinical parameters were compared between groups, and the predictive performance of the ROX index and its modified variants (ROP, ROXH, ROPH) at various time points was assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for HFNC failure. Results:The HFNC failure group exhibited significantly higher baseline PaCO 2 levels (37.2 mmHg vs. 34.1 mmHg, P<0.05) and prolonged PICU stays (21 days vs. 12 days, P<0.01) compared to the success group. During treatment, the success group demonstrated marked improvements in oxygenation parameters (S/F ratio, P/F ratio) and ROX-derived indices (ROX, ROP, ROXH, ROPH) ( P<0.01). Multivariate analysis identified FiO 2 within 12 hours post-treatment and the ROPH index as independent predictors of HFNC failure ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that the relative change in ROPH before and after treatment had the highest predictive accuracy (AUC=0.836, optimal cutoff=0.053, sensitivity=95.3%, specificity=70%) among all evaluated indices. Conclusions:Modified ROX indices, particularly the ROPH index, serve as reliable predictors of HFNC outcomes in children with AHRF. Dynamic monitoring of these indices may enable early identification of patients at risk for treatment failure, facilitating timely clinical intervention.

Objective To conduct a network meta-analysis on the effectiveness of first-line immunotherapy on patients with brain metastases from advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Two investigators conducted a computerized search of Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane,and other databases to screen the literature,extract the information,and assess the risk of bias of the included studies.The included clinical trials were statistically analyzed using R(4.1.3)software.For the study outcome indicators OS and PFS,the risk ratios(HRs),and the 95%confidence intervals(CIs)were extracted from the included studies and logarithmically transformed into effect analysis statistics.Results Six randomized controlled trials were finally included,including 327 patients with non-excludable NSCLC brain metastases.Network meta-analysis suggested that PD-1 inhibitor+CTLA-4 was more advantageous than the conventional chemotherapy for enhancing patients'OS(HR:0.13,95%CI:0.03-0.71),followed by PD-L1 inhibitor(HR:0.17,95%CI:0.04-0.74)and PD-1 inhibitor+chemotherapy(HR:0.36,95%CI:0.2-0.63).PD-1 inhibitor+CTLA-4 was also more advantageous(HR:0.37,95%CI:0.15-0.93)than the conventional chemotherapy for boosting patients'PFS,followed by PD-L1 inhibitor+chemotherapy(HR:0.44,95%CI:0.29-0.66)and PD-1 inhibitor(HR:0.48,95%CI:0.27-0.86).Conclusion Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy improves the survival of patients with brain metastases from advanced NSCLC.In particular,the combination of PD-1 inhibitor and CTLA-4 inhibitor show excellent survival benefit.

Syndrome is an important concept in the theoretical system of tradtional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and the four-dimensional attributes of syndrome are proposed based on clinical practice， namely materiality， regularity， complexity and holism. The materiality of syndrome is an objective existence that can be perceived and seen， and it can be perceived from more levels by using modern science and technology to explore the visualisation， objectification and digitisation of syndrome； the regularity of syndrome is hierarchical， can be grasped， for example in the beginning of the epidemic the pathogen is unknown， and grasping the regularity of syndrome can make a rapid response in the treatment of the epidemic； the complexity of syndrome is not only reflected in the geographical， seasonal and individual differences， but also reflected in the development of the dynamics of a certain period of law， especially for the epidemic disease with characteristics of rapid onset， rapid change， so changeable syndrome， bad syndrome can appear at any time， and an objective and comprehensive grasp of the complexity of the syndrome can help improve the diagnosis and treatment of epidemic disease； the holism of syndrome not only embodied in the human body is a whole， the form of God as a whole， but also emphasised that man and nature are a whole， so more emphasis on man and nature as a whole. The occurrence of epidemics usually due to the unexpected qi appeared not the time， and the holism view of man and nature is an effective way to prevent and control epidemics. With the syndromes as the core， we explored the effective treatment strategy of epidemic disease combined with syndromes to provide ideas for the prevention and control of the epidemics.
