Myopia has become a significant eye health problem, which is thought to result from the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors. This review focuses on two types of hereditary retinal diseases caused by mutations in photoreceptor genes, including rod-cone cell dystrophy(retinitis pigmentosa)and cone dysfunction syndromes(achromatopsia, blue cone monochromatism and Bornholm eye disease). It systematically explores the intrinsic connection between these diseases and the myopia phenotype, and elaborates on the core mechanisms by which pathogenic genes such as RPGR and OPN1LW/OPN1MW, which cause defects in ciliary structure and protein transport and interfere with the visual signal pathway, jointly induce choroidal thinning and scleral remodeling, ultimately driving the elongation of axial length and the occurrence of myopia. By tracing the association of photoreceptor gene mutations with myopia, this article provides a new perspective for in-depth understanding of the genetic mechanism of myopia and is of great significance for the development of early risk warning and targeted intervention strategies.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide， and tumor metastasis is a key factor contributing to the mortality of most lung cancer patients. Aberrant activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） is a major driver of lung cancer progression and metastasis. EMT is characterized by the loss of apical-basal polarity and intercellular adhesion in highly differentiated， polarized， and organized epithelial cells， which acquire motility， migratory potential， and invasive properties. During this process， cells undergo cytoskeletal remodeling and transform into a mesenchymal phenotype， accompanied by associated changes in cellular markers. The EMT process is highly complex and is tightly regulated by intricate networks involving multiple transcription factors， post-translational controls， epigenetic modifications， and non-coding RNAs. Therefore， therapies targeting the mechanisms of malignant transformation and their associated pathways in lung cancer are of significant clinical importance. In recent years， EMT has attracted increasing attention as a potential target for cancer therapy. Chinese medicine， with its characteristics of multi-target action， low side effects， and good therapeutic efficacy， has demonstrated an important role in anticancer treatment. A series of studies have investigated the role of Chinese medicine in inhibiting EMT in lung cancer. Active ingredients of Chinese medicine， including flavonoids， glycosides， phenols， terpenoids， saccharides， and alkaloids， as well as Chinese medicine compound formulas， have shown significant regulatory effects on EMT. Their mechanisms mainly involve multiple pathways， targets， and links， including signaling pathways， exosomes， microRNAs （miRNAs）， and the tumor-associated immune microenvironment. This article summarizes the mechanisms by which EMT promotes malignant tumor progression and reviews the current research on how Chinese medicine active ingredients， monomers， and compound formulas inhibit EMT and suppress lung cancer cell migration and invasion. This study is expected to provide comprehensive theoretical information for basic and translational research on lung cancer.

Background/Aims: Lenvatinib resistance remains a critical barrier in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms and strategies for reversing resistance remain incompletely understood. Methods: Integrated transcriptomics of lenvatinib-resistant patient tumors and an acquired-resistance murine model identified a novel macrophage subpopulation. Functional validation employed CRISPR-SAM screening, conditioned medium (CM) assays, subcutaneous/orthotopic xenografts, patient-derived organoids (PDOs), and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Mechanistic studies included ChIP-qPCR, co-immunoprecipitation, and pharmacologic targeting. Clinical relevance was assessed in a retrospective cohort. Results: Resistant HCC exhibited significant enrichment of a COLEC12high TAM subset , which correlated with poor survival and treatment response. These TAMs secreted neuregulin-1 (NRG1) , activating HER2/HER3-AKT signaling in tumor cells to drive cancer stemness and lenvatinib resistance. Mechanistically, in TAMs COLEC12 sequestered STAT1 in the cytoplasm, preventing its phosphorylation, and thereby derepressing STAT3-mediated NRG1 transcription. Depletion of NRG1 reversed the stemness phenotypes and resensitized tumors to lenvatinib both in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, high NRG1 expression predicted an inferior lenvatinib response and shorter survival. Crucially, the bispecific anti-HER2/HER3 antibody zenocutuzumab restored lenvatinib efficacy in PDOs, PDXs, and murine models. Conclusions Our work establishes the COLEC12high TAM/NRG1 axis as a master regulator of therapeutic resistance and identifies NRG1 as a predictive biomarker, providing a clinically actionable strategy to overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC.

ObjectiveTo clarify the neuroprotective effect of black Panacis Quinquefolii Radix（PQR） and explore its active ingredients， with the aim of establishing an activity-oriented quality evaluation method. MethodsTransgenic Tg（HuC∶EGFP） zebrafish was used to establish a neuronal injury model by aluminum chloride immersion. Different doses（10， 20 mg·L^-1） of PQR and black PQR ethanol extracts were administered. The neuroprotective effects of PQR and black PQR were compared by analyzing the fluorescent area and intensity of zebrafish neurons. Based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography（UPLC）， a fingerprint profile of black PQR was established， followed by principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Differential components were screened using the criteria of variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1 and P<0.05. The neuroprotective activity of 14 batches of black PQR was assessed， and Spearman correlation analysis was used to identify saponins related to neuroprotective activity， which were then validated. Based on the above results， active marker components were determined， and an UPLC method was established for their quantitation with clear content limits. ResultsPharmacological efficacy results showed that both PQR and black PQR at different doses could significantly improved neuronal damage in zebrafish. At a dose of 20 mg·L^-1， black PQR demonstrated superior efficacy（P<0.05）. The fingerprint similarities of 14 batches of black PQR were>0.94， with 26 common peaks identified. Through comparison with the reference standards， 8 components were confirmed， including peak 1（ginsenoside Rg₁）， peak 2（ginsenoside Re）， peak 5（ginsenoside Rb₁）， peak 9（ginsenoside Rd）， peak 16［ginsenoside 20（S）-Rg₃］， peak 17［ginsenoside 20（R）-Rg₃］， peak 18（ginsenoside Rk₁）， and peak 19（ginsenoside Rg₅）. The results of PCA and OPLS-DA indicated that there were differences in saponins among black PQR samples from different origins， and 12 differential components were screened. All 14 batches of black PQR exhibited good protective effects on zebrafish neurons， with Shaanxi-produced black PQR showing superior protective effects compared to the other three production regions. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that a total of 11 components， including ginsenosides 20（S）-Rg₃， 20（R）-Rg₃， Rk₁ and Rg₅， showed a significant positive correlation with the neuroprotective effect in zebrafish（P<0.05）. The activity validation results indicated that ginsenosides 20（S）-Rg₃， 20（R）-Rg₃， Rk₁ and Rg₅ were the primary components responsible for the neuroprotective effects of black PQR. Quantitative analysis showed that the content of ginsenoside 20（S）-Rg₃ in 14 batches of black PQR ranged from 0.17% to 0.52%， and the repair rate of neuronal damage ranged from 42.77% to 97.83%. ConclusionBased on the fingerprint and neuronal protective activity， the spectrum-effect related quality control model of black PQR was established， with ginsenoside 20（S）-Rg₃ as the quality control index， and the neuronal damage repair rate≥60% as the evaluation standard， the minimum limit of ginsenoside 20（S）-Rg₃ in black PQR should be≥0.20%.

The key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury established in this study included 4 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators, and 73 third-level indicators. The means of importance assignment for all indicators were > 4.00, and the coefficients of variation were < 0.25. Conclusion The key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury established in this study is scientifically rigorous and practically grounded. The indicators demonstrate strong professional relevance and provide important guidance for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury.

OBJECTIVE To explore whether pachymic acid （Pac） regulates mitochondrial autophagy mediated by the PTEN- induced kinase 1 （PINK1）/Parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase （Parkin） signaling pathway to alleviate myocardial injury in coronary heart disease （CHD） rats. METHODS SD rats were divided into control （Con） group， CHD group， Pac low-dose group （Pac-L group）， Pac high-dose group （Pac-H group）， Pac-H+PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway inhibitor group （Pac-H+3-MA group）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the Con group， CHD models were established in the remaining groups of rats. After successful modeling， the rats in each group were intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding drugs or normal saline. After continuous intervention for 4 weeks， the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， left ventricular end-diastolic volume （LVEDV）， left ventricular end-systolic volume （LVESV）， and mean arterial pressure （MAP） of the rats were detected. The levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme （CK-MB）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， cardiac troponin I （cTnI）， and cardiac troponin T （cTnT） in the serum， as well as the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， IL-1β， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， malondialdehyde （MDA） in the myocardial tissue， and the activities of catalase （CAT） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）， as well as the expression levels of p62， cleaved caspase-3， Parkin， PINK1 proteins and the ratio of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ （LC3Ⅱ）/LC3Ⅰ ratio were measured. The morphology of myocardial tissue and mitochondrial autophagic vesicles were observed， and the number of mitochondrial autophagic vesicles per unit area and the rate of cardiomyocyte apoptosis were counted. RESULTS Compared with CHD group， LVEF， MAP， IL-10 levels， CAT and SOD activities， p62， Parkin， PINK1 protein expressions， LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ ratio， the numbers of mitochondrial autophagic vesicles per unit area in the Pac-L and Pac-H E-mail：hzdpft@163.com groups were increased significantly （P＜0.05）； the levels of LVEDV， LVESV， CK-MB， LDH， cTnI， cTnT， TNF-α， IL-1β， ROS and MDA， cell apoptosis rates， and protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； and the changes in various indicators were more pronounced in the Pac-H group （P＜0.05）； both groups showed varying degree of improvement in myocardial histopathological morphology. Compared with the Pac-H group， the aforementioned indicators in rats from the Pac-H+3-MA group were all significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Pac may promote mitochondrial autophagy in cardiomyocytes of CHD rats by activating the PINK1/ Parkin signaling pathway， thereby reducing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress and improving myocardial injury.

Objective To establish a standardized diagnostic and treatment pathway for chronic renal failure(CRF)based on a nephrology cluster,providing a reference for the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)diagnosis and treatment of CRF.Methods A TCM diagnostic and treatment proto-col for CRF was developed through cluster construction.A preliminary framework for the standardized diagnostic and treatment pathway of CRF was constructed through literature research.Three rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted among 26 experts.The experts'enthusiasm,authority,co-ordination of opinions,importance ratings,and coefficient of variation were analyzed to ultimately form the standardized diagnostic and treatment pathway for CRF.Results The active coefficients(Caj)for the first,second,and third rounds of expert consultation were 1.000,0.923,and 1.000,respectively.The expert authority coefficients(Cr)were 0.895,0.910,and 0.923,respectively.The overall Kendall's W coefficients were 0.233,0.248,and 0.293(P＜0.001).The final stand-ardized diagnostic and treatment pathway for CRF included 4 primary indicators,19 secondary indica-tors,and 77 tertiary indicators,with mean importance ratings ranging from 4.42 to 4.87 and coeffi-cients of variation ranging from 0.072 to 0.126.Conclusion The standardized diagnostic and treat-ment pathway for CRF established based on a nephrology cluster is highly scientific and reliable,with clear guidance and ease in implementation,providing good guidance for the TCM diagnosis and treat-ment of CRF.

Objective To explore the potential targets and mechanism of Gufang Granules in treating osteoporosis through network pharmacology,molecular dynamics simulations,and in vitro experiment validation.Methods The active components of Gufang Granules were obtained from the TCMSP database and literature,and their related targets were predicted using SwissTargetPrediction database.Core drug targets were selected through protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis and machine learning models,and the predictive performance of the models was assessed by drawing receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves on independent validation datasets.Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was used to analyze the expression and pathways of core targets.Molecular dynamics(MD)simulations were applied to evaluate the structural stability and interactions of the compound-target complexes.Non-cytotoxic concentrations of Gufang Granules containing serum were determined by the CCK-8 assay.RAW264.7 cells were treated with low,medium,and high concentrations of drug containing serum,respectively.The number of osteoclasts was quantified using TRAP staining.The expression levels of relevant genes and proteins were analyzed through qRT-PCR and Western blot methods.Results A total of 251 potential active components and 1 078 related targets of Gufang Granules were identified.The high expressions of core targets SRC and TNF were mainly associated with osteoclast differentiation,MAPK signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.MD simulations showed that the core active component Glabridin exhibited strong stability and interaction with the SRC and TNF target proteins.The number of TRAP positive cells in all concentration groups of Gufang Granules was significantly reduced compared to the RANKL group(P<0.01,P<0.001).The serum containing Gufang Granules significantly reduced the mRNA expression of NFATc1,CTSK,SRC and TNF-α,and also downregulated the protein expression of NFATc1,CTSK,p-SRC and TNF-α(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001).Conclusion Gufang Granules may inhibit osteoclast differentiation by downregulating the expression of NFATc1,CTSK,p-SRC and TNF-α,thereby slowing the pathological progression of osteoporosis.

Objective To construct a postoperative resistance exercise program for patients with gastric cancer,and to explore its intervention effect on symptom clusters and quality of life.Methods Based on the interactive attainment theory,the resistance exercise program was constructed through literature analysis and expert meeting method,and the feasibility of the program was confirmed through pre-experiments.The patients undergoing radical gastrectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang province were selected as the study subjects by convenience sampling method,with 36 patients from November to December 2023 as the control group and 36 patients from January to March 2024 as the experimental group,and the intervention continued for 7 days.The experimental group received a resistance exercise program on the basis of conventional rapid recovery surgical care,and the control group received routine rapid recovery surgical care.On the first day before surgery,the 3rd postoperative day,and the 7th postoperative day,the Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale-Gastrointestinal Tumor-Specific Module Scale and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General were used for evaluation.Results During the application of the program,a case was excluded from the experimental group,and a case was excluded from the control group.Ultimately,70 patients were included.The results of generalized estimating equation showed that there was an interaction effect between the 2 groups in the surgery-related symptom cluster and the energy deficiency symptom cluster(P＜0.05).Simple effect analysis showed that on the 7th day after surgery,the scores of the surgery-related symptom cluster in the experimental group and the control group were 3(1,5)and 5(3,9)respectively,and the scores of the energy deficiency symptom cluster were 6(8,18)and 14(8,19)respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The quality of life scores of the experimental group and the control group were(82.06±9.89)and(73.86±13.08)respectively,with statistically significant differences(P=0.004).No adverse events occurred in either group.Conclusion The resistance exercise program is scientific,safe and feasible,which can improve the surgery-related symptoms and energy deficiency symptoms,and improve the quality of life of patients with gastric cancer after surgery.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of Alberta stroke program early CT score(ASPECTS),acute stroke registry and analysis of Lausanne(ASTRAL)and totaled health risks in vascular events(THRIVE)for prognosis of intravenous thrombolysis in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods A total of 118 elderly ACI patients receiving intravenous thrombolytic therapy in Department of Emergency Medicine of Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital from January 2021 to September 2024 were prospectively recruited.According to the score of Modified Rankin scale(mRS)at 3 months after treatment,the patients were divided into good prognosis group(73 cases)and poor prognosis group(45 cases).The scores of ASPECTS,ASTRAL and THRIVE models were compared between the two groups.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the three models for 3-month prognosis,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated.Results The poor prognosis group had significantly higher ASTRAL score and THRIVE score but obviously lower ASPECTS score when compared to the good prognosis group(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC value of ASPECTS,ASTRAL and THRIVE models for prognosis evaluation was 0.731,0.935 and 0.799,respectively(P＜0.01),with excellent goodness of fit.Conclusion All the three models can effectively predict the prognosis of elderly ACI patients at 3 months after intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
