1.Expert recommendations on vision friendly built environments for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):1-5
Abstract
The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas:optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of Jianfu mixture in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) by network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques, and validate its core targets and mechanisms through in vitro experiments. Methods The active components and corresponding molecular targets of Jianfu mixture were searched by searching TCMSP and Batman-TCM databases, and the disease targets of ED were searched by using GeneCards database. Find the intersection of drug ingredient target and disease target. The interaction between intersected targets was described and analyzed by String database, and the analysis results were visualized by Cytoscape software to determine the core target and the corresponding active components. GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed for intersection targets; the core target within the intersection were found through MCODE plug-in on Cytoscape software and molecular docking was performed with the corresponding active ingredients. An endothelial dysfunction model was established by transfecting HUVECs with si-eNOS. Intervene with different concentrations of the Jianfu mixture for the model cells for 24 h. QPCR was used to detect mRNA expression of core targets (MAPK1, MAPK3, JUN, ESR1, MAPK8); Western blot was used to analyze protein expression (eNOS, JUN, p-JUN, MAPK, p-MAPK) and phosphorylation levels. Results 144 effective active components and 168 active components target-disease targe intersection of Jianfu mixture were obtained. GO analysis revealed 200 5 biological processes, 151 molecular functions, and 63 cellular components. KEGG analysis yielded 181 pathways. 5 core targets including MAPK1, MAPK3, JUN, ESR1 and MAPK8 were screened out. The active components such as β-sitosterol, kaempferol, astapterocarpan had good binding affinity with the core target. In vitro experiments confirmed successful construction of the endothelial dysfunction model (eNOS expression significantly decreased after si-eNOS transfection). Jianfu mixture dose-dependently inhibited mRNA expression of MAPK1, MAPK3, JUN, ESR1, and MAPK8. Additionally, it reduced phosphorylation levels of JUN and MAPK, indicating inhibition of the JNK/c-Jun and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways to improve endothelial function. Conclusion Jianfu mixture treats ED by suppressing abnormal activation of multi-target signaling pathways (MAPK/JUN/ESR1), reducing endothelial apoptosis, and promoting NO synthesis. This mechanism aligns with the traditional Chinese medicine principle of “activating blood circulation, resolving stasis, tonifying Qi, and strengthening cardiovascular function.” The study provided molecular-level evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of Jianfu mixture in ED management.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of blue laser vaporization in the treatment of large-volume (>80 mL) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 149 BPH patients with prostate volume>80 mL who underwent blue laser vaporization at our hospital during Aug. 2023 and Aug. 2025. The 1-month postoperative maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and international prostate symptom score (IPSS), operation time, postoperative hemoglobin drop, bladder irrigation volume, catheter indwelling time, and incidence of postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed. Results All operations were successfully completed, without conversion to other approaches. The operation time was (41.47±11.05) minutes, postoperative hemoglobin drop (2.78±1.19) g/L, bladder irrigation volume (9.97±1.49) bags, and catheter indwelling time (3.30±1.85) days. One month after surgery, the Qmax was significantly higher than the preoperative value [(20.19±3.39) mL/s vs. (2.39±2.17) mL/s], while the IPSS was significantly lower [(4.46±0.87) vs. (27.69±2.06)], with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). Postoperative complications included 1 case of incontinence (0.67%), 2 cases of urethral stricture/bladder neck contracture (1.34%), and 1 case of secondary bleeding (0.67%), all of which improved with symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Blue laser vaporization is effective for treating large-volume BPH, with advantages such as minimal bleeding risk, short operation time, fast recovery and safety.

Retinal vein occlusion(RVO)is the second most common blinding retinal vascular disease, and its secondary macular edema(ME)is an important cause of visual function impairment in patients. Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)drugs serves as the first-line treatment, yet it is confronted with such issues as the need for repeated injections and non-response in some patients. Imaging and laboratory biomarkers play a crucial role in the early accurate diagnosis, prediction of disease progression, and evaluation of visual prognosis of RVO-ME. This study systematically reviews the research progress of imaging and laboratory biomarkers related to the prognosis of RVO-ME after anti-VEGF treatment in recent years, covering imaging biomarkers like central retinal thickness and ellipsoid zone integrity, as well as laboratory biomarkers such as serum APLN and aqueous humor IL-6. It summarizes the associations between different biomarkers and the prognosis of anti-VEGF therapy, aiming to provide a basis for the early accurate assessment and optimization of individualized treatment for RVO-ME patients, which holds significant clinical reference value.

Human keratinocyte growth factor-1 (hKGF-1), a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, plays crucial roles in organ development, cell proliferation, wound healing, and tissue repair, representing one of the most effective and specific growth factors for skin repair. However, obtaining recombinant hKGF-1 remains challenging due to its universally low expression efficiency in vitro. This study employs the Bombyx mori baculovirus expression system to establish a technological platform that utilizes the economically important insect Bombyx mori as a bioreactor for high-efficiency and low-cost expression and production of recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor 1 (hKGF-1) protein, ultimately achieving high-level expression of hKGF-1 in Bombyx mori ovary cell line (BmN). In this study, we optimized the hKGF-1 sequence based on the codon preference of baculovirus. By fusing hKGF-1 with polyhedrin (highly expressed in this system) and adding extra promoters and enhancers, we significantly improved the expreesion level of hKGF-1 in Bombyx mori cells. The results demonstrated that the aforementioned strategies significantly enhanced the expression level of hKGF-1 in Bombyx mori cells. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting results revealed that the highest hKGF-1 expression (accounting for 8.7% of total cellular protein) was achieved when the Polh promoter was combined in tandem with the P6.9 promoter and hKGF-1 was fused with a 15-residue polyhedrin fragment for co-expression. The optimal harvest time was determined to be 120 h post transfection. This study achieved the efficient expression of hKGF-1 in Bombyx mori cells, establishing an ideal technological platform for the industrial utilization of recombinant hKGF-1. The developed methodology not only provides valuable technical references for the production of other growth factors and complex proteins, but also demonstrates significant implications for employing silkworms as bioreactors for recombinant human protein expression.

Tissue-resident memory T cells(TRM)are a key immune memory cell type responsible for the recurrence of many skin diseases.TRM cells remain in the skin tissue following infection or injury and maintain immune memory by forming a memory reservoir.When the same or similar external stimuli are encountered again,TRM cells can be rapidly activated,releasing inflammatory cytokines and cytotoxic substances,leading to local tissue damage and/or disease recurrence.The formation and function of TRM cells are regulated by various factors,such as T cell receptor signals,cytokines,co-stimulatory molecules,etc.Furthermore,TRM cells may exhibit different phenotypes and functions in different types of skin diseases.Therefore,understanding the characteristics and regulatory mechanisms of TRM cells is of great significance for studying the mechanisms of skin disease recurrence as well as for developing therapeutic strategies targeting TRM cells.
