ObjectiveTo investigate the role of Krüppel-like factor 4 （KLF4） in type 1 diabetic nephropathy （DN） and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. MethodsSixteen male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were selected and randomly divided into control group and model group， with 8 rats in each group. Rats in model group were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of 55 mg/kg streptozotocin （STZ） to establish a diabetic nephropathy （DN） model， while those in control group were injected with an equal volume of sodium citrate buffer at the same time. After successful model establishment， the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen （BUN） and serum creatinine （SCR） were determined. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed on renal tissues to observe pathological changes， and immunofluorescence staining was conducted to detect the expression of KLF4 in renal tissues. Lipid peroxidation levels were evaluated by measuring malondialdehyde （MDA）， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxidation products in rat kidneys. A high glucose （HG）-induced cell injury model was established in HK-2 cells， with mitochondrial membrane potential assessed using 5，5'，6，6'-tetrachloro-1，1'，3，3'- tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide （JC-1） staining. Lipid peroxidation levels （MDA， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxides） were measured in HK-2 cells.KLF4-overexpressing HK-2 cells were then constructed， followed by repeated JC-1， MDA， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxidation assays. Western blot was performed to evaluate the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins including glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （NRF2）， and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）， in renal tissues， HK-2 cells， and KLF4-overexpressing HK-2 cells. ResultsCompared with the control group， DN rats exhibited elevated serum BUN and SCR levels， glomerular hypertrophy， renal interstitial fibrosis， and decreased KLF4 expression. Additionally， MDA， Fe²⁺， and lipid peroxidation levels increased， indicating enhanced ferroptosis in renal tissues， accompanied by reduced GPX4 and NRF2 expression and elevated Keap1 levels. Similarly， HG-treated HK-2 cells showed decreased KLF4 expression， increased MDA， Fe²⁺ and lipid peroxidation， elevated ferroptosis， and dysregulated GPX4/NRF2/Keap1 expression. However， KLF4 overexpression reversed these alterations induced by high glucose treatment. ConclusionIn the renal tissues of type 1 diabetic rats， the expression of KLF4 decreases the level of ferroptosis increases， and KLF4 overexpression could alleviate HG-induced HK-2 cell injury.

Strabismus, a common ocular condition, arises from an imbalance in the extraocular muscle force and deviation of the visual axis due to various factors. Concomitant strabismus is the predominant form of exotropia, with its pathogenesis believed to be associated with hereditary factors, abnormal eye accommodation function, and anomalies in binocular anatomy. Surgical intervention is often necessary for aligning the visual axes of both eyes and facilitating the recovery and establishment of stereoscopic vision. Despite this, the etiology of concomitant exotropia remains incompletely understood. This review consolidates recent research on aberrant molecular expression and pathological morphological changes within extraocular muscles affected by concomitant exotropia, offering insights into disease causation at molecular and pathological levels to underpin future preventive measures and clinical interventions. The discussion encompasses histological changes observed under electron microscopy as well as the impact of heavy chain protein, satellite cells, cadherin, growth factors on extraocular muscle protein expression.

Objective To identify the reasons why the monitored personal doses of radiation worker A in an institution exceeded the investigation level in 2023 and 2024, and remind workers to wear personal dosimeters in a standardized manner in scenarios such as work and business trips to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the monitoring data. Methods A thermoluminescence measurement system was used to read the personal dosimeters worn by radiation workers. Investigations were carried out on personnel whose doses exceeded the investigation level described in the “Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational external exposure” (GBZ 128—2019). The reasons for doses exceeding the investigation level were analyzed using additional dosimeters and conducting on-site experiments. Results In 2023 and 2024, radiation worker A recorded a total of 5 personal dose equivalents exceeding the investigation level (1.23 mSv) over a total of 8 monitoring cycles (each lasting 90 days). Following one cycle where the dose exceeded the investigation level, two additional dosimeters (each for a 30-day cycle) were issued to worker A, revealing readings below the investigation level for the 30-day monitoring cycle (0.41 mSv). The reading for the dosimeter was 2-3 μSv per time when passing through an X-ray security scanner, and approximately 2.10 mSv per time when passing through a computed tomography security scanner. Conclusion Within a 90-day monitoring cycle, a single exposure of a personal dosimeter to a computed tomography security scanner can result in a dose exceeding the investigation level. Radiation workers should avoid placing dosimeters in backpacks or suitcases that pass through computed tomography security scanners during business trips, so as to reduce the impact of security scanner irradiation on personal dose monitoring.

To address the challenge of cultural integration in multi-campus public hospitals,the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-Sen University has embarked on a practical exploration using cultural and creative work as a vehicle,guided by cultural confi-dence.The center has created a cultural and creative matrix for its 60th anniversary,systematically innovating the cultural and creative work mechanism,vertically activating historical and cultural resources,and linking both inside and outside the hospital campuses.Additionally,a"full-cycle"cultural and creative system has been designed for the Huangpu campus,covering multi-ple scenarios and horizontally strengthening cross-campus identity.Following the principle of"appreciating the beauty of diversity while cherishing our own,"the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-Sen University aims to transform cultural soft power into a driving force for high-quality development and enhance cultural confidence through party building leadership.The"Cancer Center of Sun Yat-Sen University approach"of promoting cultural integration in multi-campus hospitals through cultural and creative work provides an empirical example for transforming cultural soft power into a driving force for high-quality development and enhancing cultural confidence in multi-campus public hospitals.The key lessons lie in deeply tapping into historical and cultural resources,emphasi-zing identity,building a collaborative innovation mechanism,and realizing the organic integration of cultural integration and high-quality hospital development.

Under the multi-campus development model of public hospitals,cultural integration and innovation face nu-merous challenges due to spatial constraints,personnel structure differences,and functional positioning across campuses.System-atic cultural development is required to bridge these gaps and enhance the sense of belonging among both patients and staff in new campuses.This case study focuses on the Huangpu Campus of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center,launched in 2021,explo-ring a dual-dimensional approach to multi-campus cultural integration through"healing spaces."The practical strategies include:①Direct Space Construction:Establishing patient-centered healing environments through service hubs to optimize clinical experi-ences and humanistic care;(②Inidirect Environment Development:Leveraging staff service centers to foster the integration of the hospital's"collaborative,fulfilling,and striving culture,"thereby strengthening employee engagement.Post-implementation,significant improvements were observed in both patient and staff satisfaction metrics.The initiative has yielded a replicable cultur-al management framework for multi-campus public hospitals,offering valuable insights for cultural innovation in similar healthcare settings.

Objective:To evaluate the association between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia and to further explore the mediating effect of hyperuricemia in early pregnancy on the relationship between urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia.Methods:Pregnant women attending prenatal care in early pregnancy at 7 Maternal and Child Health Hospitals in Hunan Province from August 2014 to December 2019 were recruited to construct a cohort of early pregnancy. The paper questionnaire collected demographic data on pregnant women, pre-pregnancy disease history, and living habits, etc. Besides, the early pregnancy laboratory examination and pregnancy outcome for this pregnancy were derived from the hospital's electronic medical record system. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia, and causal mediation analysis was used to investigate the mediating role and magnitude of hyperuricemia in early pregnancy in the association pathway between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia. Results:A total of 33 579 naturally conceived singleton pregnant women were included in the analysis, of which 3 230 cases (9.6%) had hyperuricemia in early pregnancy, and 666 cases (2.0%) had pre-eclampsia. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that pre-pregnancy urolithiasis increased the risk of pre-eclampsia ( OR=2.65, 95% CI: 1.56-4.51). Mediation analysis showed that after controlling for confounders, hyperuricemia in early pregnancy could mediate the association between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia, with a mediation effect proportion of 46% ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Pre-pregnancy urolithiasis is an independent risk factor for pre-eclampsia, and early pregnancy hyperuricemia has a certain mediating effect between urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia.

Objective:To analyze the intercomparision result of personal dose monitoring and gross alpha/beta detection capability between the disease control and prevention institutions at provincial, municpal and county levels during 2022-2024, in order to provide a reference for radiation detection capability and policy making of these institutions in China.Methods:Data on personal dose monitoring and gross alpha/beta detection, obtanied from the 2022-2024 radiation detection capability intercomparison between the disease control and prevention institutions at different levels, were recorded. Both the qualification rates (including excellence) and excellence rates of all the institutions at all evels from 2022 to 2024 were analyzed using SPSS 22.0.Results:From 2022 to 2024, the number of participating institutions at all levels showed an overall upward trend, increasing from 262 to 430, with particularly notable growth at the municipal level. In the 2024 gross α/β detection capability intercomparison, the non-qualification rate in municipal-level institutions was significantly higher than in county-level institutions ( χ2=10.53, P < 0.05). The qualification rate (including excellence) of the municipal-level gross alpha/beta detection in 2022 and 2024 were lower than in 2023( χ2=29.93, P < 0.01). Among all regions, the 2024 personal dose monitoring intercomparison result showed that the qualification rate (including excellence) in East China was higher than in Southwest and Northwest China ( χ2=15.62, P <0.01). East China also outperformed Northwest China ( χ2=16.21, P <0.01). In the 2022 gross alpha/beta detection capability intercomparison, the qualification rate (including excellent performance) in East China and South China was higher than in Northwest China ( χ2=23.76, 11.22, P<0.01). Overall, East China showed relatively higher qualification rate in intercomparison result of both personal dose monitoring and radiation detection (including excellence), while Northwest China showed lower qualification rates (including excellence). Conclusions:Although the radiation detection capability of disease control and prevention institutions at all levels has improved in recent years, there are still insufficience of detection capabilities at some municipal- and county-level laboratories and even unbalance between different regionas. Policy support should prioritize underdeveloped areas, such as municipal- and county-level institutions and the Northwest, and enhance the technical proficiency and quality management of laboratory personnel.
