Naringenin(NAR), a naturally derived flavonoid compound, has attracted considerable attention due to its multiple pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergic, and antibacterial effects. This article systematically reviews the experimental and preclinical research progress of naringenin in common ocular diseases, with a focus on its potential applications in corneal neovascularization, dry eye disease, glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal disorders. Existing studies indicate that naringenin can exert protective effects on ocular tissues by regulating multiple signaling pathways, such as inhibiting inflammatory responses, alleviating oxidative stress-induced damage, and suppressing angiogenesis, thereby demonstrating promising therapeutic potential. Meanwhile, this review summarizes the research progress of ocular biopharmaceutical formulations, including naringenin eye drops, and highlights current limitations, such as its poor solubility and low bioavailability, which hinder its clinical translation. Naringenin shows unique advantages in the treatment of ocular diseases. However, future research should further clarify its molecular mechanisms, optimize drug delivery systems to enhance ocular bioavailability, and conduct well-designed clinical trials, aiming to provide new strategies and insights for the treatment of ocular diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the temporal trend of weight-adjusted-waist index （WWI） and its association with the risk of incident cardiovascular diseases （CVD） among middle-aged and older Chinese adults. MethodsBased on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study （CHARLS）， this research enrolled participants aged 45 and above with complete physical measurement data from the 2011， 2013， and 2015 waves. Complex sampling weights were applied to calculate the mean WWI， and the Mann-Kendall test was used to analyze its trend. From the 2011 baseline survey， individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease or missing key covariates were further excluded. New-onset cardiovascular outcome events were collected during follow-up until 2020. Participants were categorized into Q1–Q4 groups based on baseline WWI quartiles. Multivariable log-binomial regression models were constructed to assess the association between WWI and CVD， while restricted cubic splines were employed to evaluate potential nonlinear relationships. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify the robustness of the findings. ResultsFrom 2011 to 2015， the weighted mean WWI among Chinese middle-aged and older adults remained generally stable （2011： 11.17±1.68； 2013： 11.28±1.35； 2015： 11.24±1.59； P for trend <0.05）. During the longitudinal follow-up， 1 784 incident CVD cases were documented. After multivariable adjustment， each unit increase in WWI was associated with a 17% increased risk of CVD （RR： 1.17， 95%CI： 1.10-1.24）. Compared with the Q1 group， the risk of CVD in the Q2， Q3， and Q4 groups increased by 23% （RR： 1.23， 95% CI： 1.07-1.40）， 27% （RR： 1.27， 95% CI： 1.11-1.44）， and 40% （RR： 1.40， 95% CI： 1.22-1.60）， respectively. A significant linear trend was observed between the increasing WWI and elevated CVD risk （P for trend <0.001）. Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger association in participants aged 45-60 years （P for interaction <0.05）. The results of sensitivity analysis were consistent with the main research results. ConclusionsThe overall trend of WWI level in the middle-aged and elderly population in China is stable from 2011 to 2015. The higher level of WWI is associated with an increased risk of CVD， suggesting that WWI may be used as a simple and effective indicator to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular metabolism in middle-aged and elderly people.

ObjectiveTo explore the application effects of environmentally friendly reagents versus traditional reagents in tissue processing， paraffin sectioning， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， special staining， and immunohistochemistry. MethodsPancreatic， renal， splenic， hepatic， pulmonary， skeletal muscle， and cardiac tissues were collected from mice and New Zealand rabbits， and randomly divided into a traditional group （Group A）， an environmentally friendly reagent I group （Group B）， and an environmentally friendly reagent Ⅱ group （Group C）. The processed tissue sections from all three groups were subjected to paraffin sections， HE staining， phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining， and Mallory trichrome staining. The pancreatic tissue sections were subjected to immunohistochemical detection of insulin protein. Evaluation criteria included tissue morphological integrity， embedding operability， section quality， and staining effects. ResultsNo significant differences were observed among the three groups of samples in terms of fixation efficacy， embedding operations， and section quality. After HE staining， all groups exhibited bright nuclear and cytoplasmic staining with clear contrast， with excellent-and-good rates of 98%， 99%， and 97% for Groups A， B， and C， respectively， showing no statistically significant differences （A vs. B， P=0.561； A vs. C， P=0.651）. In phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining， Groups A and C showed clear structural contrast and bright staining for striated muscle and collagen fibers， whereas Group B exhibited uneven staining. The excellent-and-good rates were 100%， 10%， and 95% for Groups A， B， and C， respectively， with significant differences between Group A and Group B （P＜0.01） but no statistical difference between Group A and Group C （P=0.311）. In Mallory trichrome staining， Groups A and B outperformed Group C. The excellent-and-good rates were 95%， 90%， and 15% for Groups A， B， and C， respectively， with significant differences between Group A and Group C （P＜0.01）， but no statistical difference between Group A and Group B （P=0.548）. Immunohistochemical results showed that Group A had a clean background with no non-specific staining， while Groups B and C exhibited significant non-specific staining， with statistically significant differences in non-specific staining rates between the groups （A vs. B， 5% vs. 100%， P＜0.01； A vs. C， 5% vs.100%， P＜0.01）. ConclusionIn HE staining， environmentally friendly reagents demonstrated effective tissue fixation and staining results comparable to traditional reagents， meeting the teaching requirements. For special staining， Group B and Group C performed better in Mallory trichrome staining and phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining， respectively. However， environmentally friendly reagents exhibited non-specific staining issues in immunohistochemistry， where further optimization is required.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the prevalence of hyperuricemia(HUA)in an island troop.Methods A total of 1 113 soldiers stationed on an island from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as research objects by cluster sampling.Their lifestyle and health information were collected.Physical examination and laboratory detection were conducted.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of HUA.Results The prevalence rate of HUA was 21.02%(234/1 113).There were significant differences in the body mass index(BMI),waist-to-hip ratio,triglyceride,alanine aminotransferase,and creatinine between the soldiers with hyperuricemia and the soldiers with normal blood uric acid(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI≥24(OR=1.49,95%CI:1.09-2.05),abnormal liver function(OR=2.26,95%CI:1.31-3.92),and dyslipidemia(OR=1.46,95%CI:1.01-2.12)were positively correlated with hyperuricemia;age>30 years old(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.37-0.93)and exercise time>1 h per week(OR=0.46,95%CI:0.22-0.97)were negatively correlated with HUA.Conclusion The prevalence rate of hyperuricemia is at a high level in an island troop.BMI≥24,age≤30 years old,exercise time≤1 h per week,abnormal liver function,and dyslipidemia are the risk factors for HUA.Prevention and control measures should be taken as early as possible for the soldiers with these risk factors.

Immunodeficiency is one of the main clinical phenotypes of diseases caused by germline loss-of-function variants in the nuclear SET domain-containing protein 2 (NSD2)-coding gene. NSD2 gene plays an important regulatory role in the immune system, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In recent years, great progress has been made regarding the function of NSD2 gene in the immune system including involving in B cell differentiation and development, promoting germinal center B cell activation and antibody production, recruiting regulatory T (Treg) cells to the maternal-fetal interface to induce maternal-fetal immune tolerance, and up-regulating MHCⅠ expression in tumor cells to trigger tumor immunity. This article mainly reviews the research progress in the regulatory function of NSD2 gene in the above immune processes.

Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur are common hip fractures in the elderly. Their treatment goals include reducing incidence of complications, improving quality of life and increasing survival rate for the patients. Compared with traditional internal fixation, hip arthroplasty shows certain advantages in the primary treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur and the revision following failure of internal fixation. It enables patients to do early weight-bearing activities to effectively improve their joint function, and reduces the risk of complications associated with long-term bed rest. However, at present, there has been no unified consensus in the academic community regarding the treatment plan of hip arthroplasty for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur. This paper mainly reviews the research progress in such aspects as indications of hip arthroplasty for primary intertrochanteric fractures of the femur and for revision after failure of internal fixation, anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the femoral trochanter, principles for selection of types and models of joint prosthesis, key operative techniques like intraoperative fixation of bone fragments and prosthesis implantation, and methods of peri-operative comprehensive assessment.

Objective:To explore the application value of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis(MIPO)and open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF)in patients with middle and lower humeral shaft fractures.Methods:A total of 32 patients with middle and lower humeral shaft fractures treated with MIPO in our hospital from Jun 2020 to Sep 2023 were selected as the observation group,and another 32 patients with middle and lower humeral shaft fractures treated with ORIF were selected as the control group.The perioperative relevant indicators,fracture healing time,pain factors[substance P(SP),prostaglandin E2(PGE2)],pain severity score,upper limb function(Neer score for shoulder joint,Mayo score for elbow joint)before and after surgery,and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The operation time,incision length,wound healing time,hospitalization time,fracture healing time,and complete weight-bearing time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the intraoperative blood loss was lower in the observation group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum SP and PGE2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 3 and 5 days after surgery(P＜0.05).The pain scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 1,3,and 5 days after surgery(P＜0.05).The Neer score of the shoulder joint and the Mayo score of the elbow joint in the observation group were higher than those in the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after surgery(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the Neer score of the shoulder joint and the Mayo score of the elbow joint between the two groups at 12 months after surgery(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Both MIPO and ORIF have good long-term effects and safety in the treatment of middle and lower humeral shaft fractures,but the former can reduce injury,reduce pain,promote fracture healing,and has significant advantages in improving upper limb function in the early stage.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between liposuction combined with circumareolar small incision and three-port endoscopic surgery for the treatment of Simon Ⅱ gynecomastia (GYN). Methods Comparative case data of 120 patients with GYN were retrospectively analyzed, 61 patients in the open group underwent circumareolar small incision mastectomy after liposuction, and 59 patients in the endoscopic group underwent three-port endoscopic mastectomy after liposuction. The two groups were compared in terms of surgery-related indexes, occurrence of postoperative complications and patient satisfaction. Results The unilateral operation time of the open group was shorter than that of the endoscopic group, the unilateral gland resection weight in the open group was more than that in the endoscopic group, the hospitalization cost of the open group was less than that of the endoscopic group (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in unilateral liposuction volume, drainage volume on the first postoperative day, and time to drain removal between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of complications in the open group and the endoscopic group were 8.2% and 13.6% respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The difference in the overall satisfaction scores between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Liposuction combined with circumareolar small incision or three-port endoscopic surgery both has good cosmetic effects in the treatment of Simon Ⅱ GYN. The operation with circumareolar small incision is simple, has a shorter operation time, costs less, and does not require special equipment, which is suitable for promotion and application in medical institutions.

The underlying cause of low response rates to existing immunotherapies is that tumor cells dominate tumor immune escape through surface antigen deficiency and inducing tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME). Here, we proposed an in situ tumor cell engineering strategy to disrupt tumor immune escape at the root by restoring tumor cell MHC-I/tumor-specific antigen complex (MHC-I/TSA) expression to promote T-cell recognition and by silencing tumor cell CD55 to increase the ICOSL⁺ B-cell proportion and reverse the TIME. A doxorubicin (DOX) and dual-gene plasmid (MAC pDNA, encoding both MHC-I/ASMTNMELM and CD55-shRNA) coloaded drug delivery system (LCPN@ACD) with tumor targeting and charge/size dual-conversion properties was prepared. LCPN@ACD-induced ICD promoted DC maturation and enhanced T-cell activation and infiltration. LCPN@ACD enabled effective expression of MHC-I/TSA on tumor cells, increasing the ability of tumor cell recognition and killing. LCPN@ACD downregulated tumor cell CD55 expression, increased the proportion of ICOSL⁺ B cells and CTLs, and reversed the TIME, thus greatly improving the efficacy of αPD-1 and CAR-T therapies. The application of this in situ tumor cell engineering strategy eliminated the source of tumor immune escape, providing new ideas for solving the challenges of clinical immunotherapy.
