Objective: To investigate the relationship between physical development indicators and the onset and progression of myopia among children and adolescents, so as to provide theoretical support for coordinated vision and physical health management. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted. In September 2022, 3 102 students from grade one in primary school to grade three in junior high school (five year primary school and four year junior high school) from six schools in Huantai County, Shandong Province, were selected using multistage cluster random sampling method to participate in an epidemiological survey on myopia, with follow up completed in September 2023. Follow up value minus baseline value( d ) was used to assess changes in physical development and vision indicators. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between physical development indicators and the incidence of myopia. Generalized linear models were established to analyze the relationship between physical development indicators and changes in d spherical equivalent (SE) and d axial length (AL) . Results: Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, and baseline body mass index, the third ( Q 3)and fourth ( Q 4)quartiles of d height showed increased risks of myopia onset within one year compared to the first quartile( Q 1) ( OR =1.85,95% CI =1.18-2.88; OR =1.74,95% CI =1.09-2.78,both P ＜0.05). Results from the generalized linear model indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, and baseline SE, d SE was negatively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =-0.024, 95% CI =-0.031 to -0.018; β =-0.006, 95% CI =-0.011 to -0.001), d AL was positively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =0.011, 95% CI =0.008-0.013; β =0.005, 95% CI =0.003-0.007) (all P ＜0.05). Conclusions Physical development indicators in children and adolescents were associated with the onset and progression of myopia. Dynamic monitoring and early intervention of myopia should be strengthened for children and adolescents with rapid height and weight gain to achieve coordinated management of myopia and physical development.

Objective:To analysis of the latent profiles and influencing factors of body image in patients with postoperative oral cancer.Methods:From July 2024 to March 2025, a total of 332 patients with primary oral cancer confirmed by pathology, aged ≥18 years, and undergoing oral cancer surgery at Hunan Cancer Hospital were selected using simple random sampling and cluster sampling. Among them, 25 were female and 307 were male. The body image scale and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used to investigate the patients. The main indicators included the total scale scores and scores on various dimensions of body image, such as appearance evaluation and health focus, with particular attention to satisfaction with facial appearance and oral function.The correlation between self-esteem and body image was analyzed, and differences in scores were compared based on gender, age, self-esteem level, and surgical procedure.Results:Among the 332 patients, 93.4% (310/332) were married, and 6.6% (22/332) were unmarried, divorced, or widowed. A total of 84.3% (280/332) underwent flap transplantation surgery, while 15.7% (52/332) did not. The body image distress in the 332 patients could be categorized into a body image adaptation group [80.12% (266/332)] and a body image disorder group [19.88% (66/332)]. Unmarried/divorced/widowed status ( P=0.020), undergoing flap transplantation ( P=0.006), and self-esteem level ( P<0.001) were identified as influencing factors for postoperative body image disorder in oral cancer patients. Conclusions:Given the varying levels of body image concerns among oral cancer patients, healthcare providers can implement targeted, personalized nursing interventions based on their distinct categories and influencing factors.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation under different mechanical parameters in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation,and to explore the muscle-relaxing effects of the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation and the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipula-tion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation under the optimal mechanical parameters.Methods Using a three-factor,three-level orthogonal test method,27 LDH patients included in this study were randomly divided into 9 parameter groups,with 3 patients in each group,and were treated with different parameters of the stereotactic angled wrench method.3 factors were set up for the pressing force,the number of times,and the treatment interval,and each factor consisted of 3 levels,i.e.,pressing force:300～400 N,400～500 N,and 500～600 N;the number of times pressed 3 levels were set up:6 times,9 times,12 times;3 levels of treatment interval:1 day interval,2 days interval,3 days interval.After screening the optimal mechanical parameters through VAS,ODI and FDD evaluation indexes,94 patients were included and randomly divided into two groups;the treatment group was stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation under the configuration of optimal mechanical parameters,and the control group was the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation,and the changes of patients'VAS and ODI scores as well as the thickness of multifidus muscle and cross-sectional area before and after treatment were observed in the treatment of the two groups of patients.Through the comparison of lumbar multifidus muscle between healthy volunteers and patients with lumbar keyboard herniation,the characteristics of lumbar disc herniation multifidus muscle were clarified.The correlation between each observation index and parameter was analyzed by the statistical analysis software SPSS 26.0 to derive the optimal parameters for manipulative treatment.Results Orthogonal test analysis yielded that the order of influence on the efficacy was pressing force>treatment interval>pressing times,and the pressure interval with the best efficacy was:500～600 N,the number of times was 12 times,and the Treatment internal of 2 days.The degree of degeneration of lumbar multifidus muscle in patients with lumbar disc herniation was more obvious compared with that of healthy volunteers,and the difference was stati stically signifi-cant(P<0.05).Observed in both groups of patients with lumbar disc herniation after 6 weeks of treatment time,the VAS and ODI scores of both groups decreased significantly after treatment compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),with greater improvement in the treatment group.The results of the multifidus muscle showed that after treatment,the treatment group could significantly increase the resting thickness,contraction thickness,contraction rate and cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle had significant changes(P<0.05),in which the contraction thickness,contraction rate before and after the treatment changes were more significant than the control group.Conclusions The stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation is effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation,in which the manipulation parameter pressure of 500～600 N,the number of presses 12 times,and the treatment interval of 2 days once for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation has better analgesia and improves the dysfunction effect.Compared with the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation,the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation is better in improving the pain symptoms and dysfunction of patients with lumbar disc hernia-tion,as well as the resting thickness of the multifidus muscle,the contraction thickness,the contraction rate of change,and the cross-sectional area.

Liver transplantation (LT) has become a standard treatment for end-stage liver diseases, and graft injury is intricately associated with poor prognosis. Granzyme B (GZMB) plays a vital role in natural killer (NK) cell biology, but whether NK-derived GZMB affects graft injury remains elusive. Through the analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data obtained from human LT grafts and the isolation of lymphocytes from mouse livers following ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), we demonstrated that 2NK cells with high expression of GZMB are enriched in patients and mice. Both systemically and liver-targeted depletion of NK cells led to a notable reduction in GZMB⁺ cell infiltration, subsequently resulting in diminished graft injury. Notably, the reconstitution of Il2rg ^-/- Rag2 ^-/- mice with purified Gzmb-KO NK cells demonstrated superior outcomes compared to those with wild-type NK cells. Crucially, global knockout of GZMB and pharmacological inhibition exhibited remarkable improvements in liver function in both mouse IRI and rat LT models. Moreover, a phosphorylated derivative of FDA-approved vidarabine was identified as an effective inhibitor of mouse GZMB activity by molecular dynamics, which could provide a potential avenue for therapeutic intervention. Therefore, targeting NK cell-derived GZMB during the LT process suggests potential therapeutic strategies to improve post-transplant outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism by which chitosan (CS) hydrogel loaded with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (HUVECs)-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-exos) (Exos@CS-Gel) improves diabetic wound healing. METHODS: hUCMSC-exos were extracted and Exos@CS-Gel was prepared. The effect of Exos@CS-Gel on proliferation and migration of HUVECs were evaluated using scratch wound assay and CCK-8 assay. Diabetic rat models with full-thickness skin wounds established by streptozotocin induction were randomized divided into 4 groups for treatment with Exos@CS-Gel (100 µg hUCMSC-exos dissolved in 100 µL 24% CS hydrogel), hUCMSC-exos (100 µg hUCMSC-exos dissolved in 100 µL PBS), CS hydrogel (100 µL 24% CS hydrogel), or PBS (control group). Wound healing and the therapeutic mechanisms were assessed using immunohistochemistry, HE staining, immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR. RESULTS: In cultured HUVECs, Exos@CS-Gel treatment significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration. In the rat models of chronic diabetic wounds, the wound healing rate in Exos@CS-Gel group reached 92.7% on day 14, significantly higher than those in hUCMSC-exos group (9.12%), CS hydrogel group (16.28%), and control group (25.98%). Microvessel density and the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor β-1 were significantly increased in the Exos@CS-Gel group. CONCLUSIONS Exos@CS-Gel promotes survival capacity of hUCMSC-exos in vitro and accelerates diabetic wound healing in rats by promoting angiogenesis and cell proliferation.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of enhanced computed tomography (CT) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination on prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its correlation with clinical features. Methods:The postoperative follow-up data of enhanced CT and MRI of 80 patients with suspected (ccRCC) who admitted to Bozhou People's Hospital from March 2019 to May 2023 were selected,and they were divided into disease progression group (24 cases) and disease progression-free group (56 cases) according to the condition of disease progression. The disease progression of them were diagnosed through relevant examinations (collection of disease history,physical examination,enhanced CT,MRI,laboratory examination,pathological examination and so on). According to the information of clinical imaging,the age,gender,tumor diameter,with or without tumor thrombus,the location of tumor and surgical method were used to conduct single factor logistic regression analysis,so as to confirm independent predictors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of enhanced CT combined with MRI to the prognosis of ccRCC. The Pearson linear correlation was adopted to analyze the correlation between the results of enhanced CT combined with MRI and prognosis. Results:Based on the results of the follow-up study,CT value of cortex phase,CT value of medullary phase and apparent dispersion coefficient (ADC) in the disease progression group were significantly smaller than those in the disease progression-free group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant (t=10.610,4.697,2.901,P<0.05),respectively. The diffusion coefficient (K value) of disease progression group was significantly larger than that of disease progression-free group,and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=6.375,P<0.05),while there was no significant in diffusion rate (D) between the two groups (P>0.05). The area under curve (AUC) values of ROC curve of single enhanced CT examination,single MRI examination and the combined examination of them were larger than 0.5 in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC,which indicated that both the two examinations had a certain value in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC,and the AUC value of combined examination was the highest (0.940),which indicated the value of combined examination was the highest in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC. There were not significant differences in gender,surgical method,tumor thrombus and tumor location between the two groups (P>0.05). The age and tumor diameter of the disease progression group were significantly larger than those of the disease progression-free group (t=4.292,3.219,P<0.05),respectively. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the age and tumor diameter were respectively independent influencing factor on the prognosis of ccRCC (HR=2.167,0.689,P<0.05). The results of Pearson correlation analysis indicated that there was negative correlation between enhanced CT examination and prognosis (r=-0.65,P<0.05),and there was positive correlation between MRI examination and prognosis (r=0.72,P<0.05). In addition,there was a negative correlation in the results between enhanced CT examination and MRI examination (r=-0.58,P<0.05). Conclusion:The prediction of enhanced CT combined with MRI examination is higher than that of each single examination of them for the prognosis of ccRCC,and there is a certain correlation between that and clinical features,but it is still necessary to conduct comprehensive judgement after combines other influence factors in clinical practice.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation under different mechanical parameters in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation,and to explore the muscle-relaxing effects of the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation and the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipula-tion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation under the optimal mechanical parameters.Methods Using a three-factor,three-level orthogonal test method,27 LDH patients included in this study were randomly divided into 9 parameter groups,with 3 patients in each group,and were treated with different parameters of the stereotactic angled wrench method.3 factors were set up for the pressing force,the number of times,and the treatment interval,and each factor consisted of 3 levels,i.e.,pressing force:300～400 N,400～500 N,and 500～600 N;the number of times pressed 3 levels were set up:6 times,9 times,12 times;3 levels of treatment interval:1 day interval,2 days interval,3 days interval.After screening the optimal mechanical parameters through VAS,ODI and FDD evaluation indexes,94 patients were included and randomly divided into two groups;the treatment group was stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation under the configuration of optimal mechanical parameters,and the control group was the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation,and the changes of patients'VAS and ODI scores as well as the thickness of multifidus muscle and cross-sectional area before and after treatment were observed in the treatment of the two groups of patients.Through the comparison of lumbar multifidus muscle between healthy volunteers and patients with lumbar keyboard herniation,the characteristics of lumbar disc herniation multifidus muscle were clarified.The correlation between each observation index and parameter was analyzed by the statistical analysis software SPSS 26.0 to derive the optimal parameters for manipulative treatment.Results Orthogonal test analysis yielded that the order of influence on the efficacy was pressing force>treatment interval>pressing times,and the pressure interval with the best efficacy was:500～600 N,the number of times was 12 times,and the Treatment internal of 2 days.The degree of degeneration of lumbar multifidus muscle in patients with lumbar disc herniation was more obvious compared with that of healthy volunteers,and the difference was stati stically signifi-cant(P<0.05).Observed in both groups of patients with lumbar disc herniation after 6 weeks of treatment time,the VAS and ODI scores of both groups decreased significantly after treatment compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),with greater improvement in the treatment group.The results of the multifidus muscle showed that after treatment,the treatment group could significantly increase the resting thickness,contraction thickness,contraction rate and cross-sectional area of the multifidus muscle had significant changes(P<0.05),in which the contraction thickness,contraction rate before and after the treatment changes were more significant than the control group.Conclusions The stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation is effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation,in which the manipulation parameter pressure of 500～600 N,the number of presses 12 times,and the treatment interval of 2 days once for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation has better analgesia and improves the dysfunction effect.Compared with the traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation,the stereotaxic oblique-pulling manipulation is better in improving the pain symptoms and dysfunction of patients with lumbar disc hernia-tion,as well as the resting thickness of the multifidus muscle,the contraction thickness,the contraction rate of change,and the cross-sectional area.

Objective To observe the value of radiomics combined with CT features for distinguishing mycoplasma pneumonia(MP)and non-MP in children.Methods Data of 153 children with pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed.The children were divided into MP group(n=101)and non-MP group(n=52)according to mycoplasma RNA detection,and also were divided into training set(n=107,including 71 MP and 36 non-MP)and validation set(n=46,including 30 MP and 16 non-MP)at the ratio of 7∶3.CT findings were compared between groups.Six best CT features were selected in training set using F test algorithm,and a CT model was constructed using logistic regression(LR)method.The best radiomics features were extracted and screened in training set,and machine learning(ML)models were constructed using LR,support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF),linear discriminant analysis(LDA)and stochastic gradient descent(SGD)classifiers,respectively.Based on the best CT features and radiomics features,CT-ML models were constructed using the above classifiers.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and the areas under the curve(AUC)were calculated,the efficacy of each model for distinguishing MP and non-MP was evaluated.Results Lesions involved the upper,middle and lower lobe of right lung,thickened bronchial wall,tree bud sign and edge retract sign were the best CT features.AUC of CTLR was 0.710,of MLLR,MLSVM,MLRF,MLLDA and MLSGD in validation set was 0.715,0.663,0.623,0.706 and 0.494,respectively,and MLLR was the optimal radiomics model.AUC of CT-MLLR,CT-MLSVM,CT-MLRF,CT-MLLDA and CT-MLSGD in validation set was 0.813,0.823,0.649,0.796 and 0.665,respectively,and CT-MLSVM was the optimal CT-ML model.In training set,AUC of CT-MLSVM(0.840)was higher than that of CTLR and MLLR model(AUC=0.713,0.740,both P＜0.05).In validation set,no significant difference of AUC was found among CTLR,MLLR and CT-MLSVM(AUC=0.710,0.715 and 0.823,all P＞0.05).Conclusion Radiomics combined with CT features could effectively distinguish MP and non-MP in children.
