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.

Background/Aims: Natural killer (NK) cell function is generally considered dampened in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; however, the NK cell pool exhibits phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, and the antibody--mediated effect of NK cells remains less characterized. This study evaluated the dynamic changes in antibody-mediated NK cell responses and the involvement of distinct NK subsets across disease stages and during antiviral treatment. Methods: A T-cell receptor-like antibody specific for the HBV core 18–27 peptide (cTCRL-Ab) was used to determine the antibody-mediated effect of NK cells, and an array of NK cell surface markers were analyzed in cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts of patients with chronic HBV infection. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to identify the heterogeneity of NK subsets. Results: The cTCRL-Ab enabled the detection of NK cell cytolytic activity and IFNγ production. Notably, cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell responses were compromised in chronically HBV-infected patients, particularly in those receiving pegylated interferon-α (Peg-IFNα), which was associated with the downregulation of CD16 expression. Correspondingly, Peg-IFNα inhibited cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell function by reducing CD16 expression in vitro. scRNA-seq revealed that CD16 downregulation occurred mainly within a dysfunctional CD16hi NK subset exhibiting exhaustion properties. In contrast, an activated CD16hiNK subpopulation (CX3CR1⁺KLRC2–CD16hi) with high cytotoxicity was enriched in patients who experienced favorable treatment responses. Furthermore, the intrahepatic CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hi subset tended to exhibit functional restoration in HBsAg-loss individuals. Conclusions Our data contribute to the understanding of antibody-mediated responses of NK cells in chronic HBV infection, and highlight a previously unappreciated functional CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hiNK subset as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract Adolescents are a high risk group for non suicidal self injury (NSSI), and the severity of the issue has been increasing. However, stigma originating from self perceptions, the public, and healthcare professionals poses significant barriers to help seeking and recovery among adolescents with NSSI. The paper systematically reviews the main intervention strategies targeting NSSI related stigma in adolescents, along with their effectiveness, from three perspectives: educational approaches, contact based interventions, and public advocacy against stigma, aiming to inform the development of a scientific, effective, and multi stakeholder collaborative integrated intervention framework to provide a basis for reducing and ultimately eliminating stigma associated with adolescent NSSI.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and underlying mechanism of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the process of Xiaojinwan （XJW）-containing serum interfering with endothelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. MethodsXJW-containing serum was prepared by intragastric administration of XJW （4 g·kg^-1） to SD rats. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in vitro. β-Catenin overexpression and knockdown plasmids were constructed and transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells. The optimal XJW-containing serum （4 g·kg^-1） according to previous studies was used for β-catenin intervention and overexpression experiments. The groups for intervention/overexpression experiments included intervention/overexpression blank group， β-catenin intervention/overexpression group， intervention/overexpression blank + XJW group， and β-catenin intervention/overexpression + XJW group. Cell morphology was observed under a microscope. Flow cytometry was used to detect and record apoptosis rates. Western blot was performed to measure apoptosis-related proteins ［B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， and active-Caspase-3］ and EMT-related proteins （E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and vimentin）. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect β-catenin mRNA expression levels in different groups. ResultsIntervention experiment results showed that compared with the intervention blank group， the β-catenin intervention group and the intervention blank + XJW group showed increased apoptosis rates （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated protein levels of Bax， active Caspase-3， and E-cadherin （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and decreased protein levels of Bcl-2 and Vimentin （P<0.05， P<0.01）. β-catenin mRNA expression was reduced in the β-catenin intervention group （P<0.05， 0.63 ± 0.15） and the intervention blank + XJW group （P<0.05， 0.79 ± 0.33）. Compared with the β-catenin intervention group， the β-catenin intervention + XJW group exhibited an increased apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， elevated Bax and active Caspase-3 protein levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and decreased Bcl-2， N-cadherin， and Vimentin protein levels （P<0.05）. β-catenin mRNA expression was further reduced in the β-catenin intervention + XJW group （P<0.01， 0.22 ± 0.08）. Compared with the intervention blank + XJW group， the β-catenin intervention + XJW group showed an increased apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， elevated Bax， active Caspase-3， and E-cadherin protein levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and decreased Bcl-2， N-cadherin， and vimentin protein levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. β-catenin mRNA expression was also reduced （P<0.05）. Overexpression experiment results showed that compared with the overexpression blank group， the β-catenin overexpression group exhibited a reduced apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， while the overexpression blank + XJW group showed an increased apoptosis rate （P<0.05）. In the β-catenin overexpression and β-catenin overexpression + XJW groups， Bax and E-cadherin protein levels decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while Bcl-2， N-cadherin， and vimentin levels increased （P<0.05）. In the overexpression blank + XJW group， Bax and E-cadherin levels increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while Bcl-2， N-cadherin， and vimentin levels decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. β-catenin mRNA expression increased in the β-catenin overexpression group （P<0.01， 7.26 ± 1.03） but decreased in the overexpression blank + XJW group （P<0.05， 0.73 ± 0.14）. Compared with the β-catenin overexpression group， the β-catenin overexpression + XJW group showed an increased apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， elevated Bax and E-cadherin levels （P<0.05）， and decreased N-cadherin and vimentin levels （P<0.05）. β-catenin mRNA expression was reduced （P<0.05， 4.65 ± 1.02）. Compared with the overexpression blank + XJW group， the β-catenin overexpression + XJW group exhibited a reduced apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， decreased Bax and E-cadherin levels （P<0.01）， and increased Bcl-2， N-cadherin， and Vimentin levels （P<0.05）. β-catenin mRNA expression increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionXJW-containing serum inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation by suppressing EMT， which is associated with the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Objective: To explore the independent risk factors of allogeneic blood transfusion during perioperative period of cytoreductive surgery in patients with ovarian cancer, and to construct a predictive model to facilitate clinical risk assessment and optimize perioperative blood management. Methods: Clinical data of 156 patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2025 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into transfusion group (n=51) and non-transfusion group (n=105) according to whether they received allogeneic blood transfusion during perioperative period. The 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to correct the confounding factors. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurement data, and chisquare test was used for enumeration data. Variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in binary logistic regression for multivariate analysis to determine independent risk factors. A nomogram model for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion risk prediction was constructed based on independent risk factors. Bootstrap method (100 samples) was used for internal calibration verification. ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination efficiency, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical net benefit of the model. Results: After propensity matching, the baseline data of the two groups were balanced and comparable. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative prothrombin time (PT) (OR=2.666, 95%CI 1.249~5.693, P=0.011), preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) (OR=0.953, 95%CI 0.923~0.984, P=0.003), intraoperative blood loss (OR=1.004, 95%CI 1.001-1.006, P=0.004), preoperative anemia grade (OR=3.052, 95%CI 1.007-9.252, P=0.049) were independent influencing factors of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion. The nomogram model based on the above four factors was significant (LR χ =58.617, P<0.001), and the internal calibration curve showed that the predicted probability of the model was in good agreement with the actual probability (mean absolute error=0.042). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.890, indicating good discrimination efficiency. DCA showed that the clinical net benefit of the model was better than that of the unified transfusion/non-transfusion strategy in the 0-0.45 risk threshold range. Conclusion: Intraoperative blood loss, preoperative PT, preoperative Hb and preoperative anemia grade are independent risk factors for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer. The nomogram model based on the above factors has good predictive efficacy and clinical hierarchical decision-making value, which can provide reference for clinical implementation of individualized blood management for high-risk patients and reduction of unnecessary blood transfusion rate.

Abstract To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

It is proposed that the brain Xuanfu and the glymphatic system(GS)have commonality in physiological structure and similarity in functions such as transporting brain substances,transmitting brain information and clearing metabolites.It is believed that GS may be the substantial manifestation of the brain Xuanfu,and GS dysfunction is the key pathological link of depression.Xuanfu stagnation and Shenji dysfunction are the core pathogenesis of depression.Taking"Brain Xuanfu-GS"as the starting point,the patho-logical mechanism of depression is deeply explored,providing a theoretical basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of depression in traditional Chinese medicine.

AIM:To explore the mechanism of berberine on breast cancer cells based on network pharmacology and in vitro cell experiments.METH-ODS:Firstly,berberine and breast cancer were tak-en as the research objects,the intersection targets of the two were screened by VEEN diagram,GO function and KEGG enrichment analysis were per-formed by R language,and molecular docking and visualization were carried out by Autodock Vina and Pymol software.Then,berberine treated breast cancer MCF-7 cells for 24 h,and then in vi-tro cell experiments were performed.CCK-8 was used to detect cell viability,Edu and plate cloning were used to detect cell proliferation and cloning,and apoptosis was detected by An-nexin V-FITC/PI double staining and Western blot.Laser confocal and CETSA were used to verify the binding effect of berberine and AKT1 protein.RESULTS:The results of network pharmacology showed that berberine had a good binding to the core targets AKT1,AKT2 and MAPK3.Berberine(20,40,80 μmol/L)signifi-cantly inhibited the proliferation and cloning ability of MCF-7 cells in a concentration-dependent man-ner(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The results of laser confocal and CETSA experiments showed that berberine and AKT1 had a binding effect,and the stability of the two was enhanced after the combination.CONCLU-SION:Berberine inhibits MCF-7 cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in human breast cancer cells by targeting binding to AKT1 protein.

Cancer is the main cause of death,and drug therapy has greatly improved the effectiveness of anti-tumor treatment.However,there are problems such as high adverse reactions and the risk of developing drug resistance after long-term use.There is an urgent need to seek new drug targets.Human antigen R(HuR),as an RNA binding protein,promotes the whole process of tumor occurrence,development and metastasis through post transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability,and HuR is general-ly highly expressed in tumor tissue,making it a new target for an-ti-tumor therapy and a standard for prognosis evaluation.Tradi-tional Chinese medicine formulas and their various chemical components can inhibit tumor proliferation,induce tumor cell ap-optosis,inhibit angiogenesis,suppress immune escape,and re-verse tumor drug resistance by regulating HuR activity.This re-view summarizes the importance of HuR in regulation of tumor progression,as well as analyzes the mechanisms of the antitumor effects through active ingredients of Chinese medicine with the regulation of HuR.It is expected to provide new ideas for tumor therapy and guidance for the development of HuR-targeted anti-tumor drugs.
