OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the influential factors for all-cause mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) treated with polymyxin B. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM and CNKI were searched to collect clinical studies on all-cause death within 30 days or 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B in patients with CR-GNB infection from database establishment to July 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and evaluation of literature quality, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 12 studies were included, involving 1 326 patients, among whom 529 patients died, with a mortality rate of 39.89%. Meta-analysis results showed that combined with cardiovascular disease [OR=2.06, 95%CI (1.37, 3.09), P =0.005 ] , increased Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [OR=1.20, 95%CI (1.07, 1.35), P =0.003 ] , mechanical ventilation [OR=2.35, 95%CI (1.65, 3.34), P <0.001 ] , continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) [OR=2.58, 95%CI (1.67, 3.97), P <0.001 ] , bloodstream infection [OR=3.24, 95%CI (2.19, 4.78), P <0.001 ] , multiple-site infection [OR=1.51, 95%CI (1.03, 2.20), P =0.03 ] , septic shock [OR=3.19, 95%CI (1.94, 5.24), P <0.001 ] , use of vasoactive drugs [OR=2.90, 95%CI (1.97, 4.27), P <0.001 ] , and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) [OR=2.17, 95%CI (1.41, 3.36), P <0.001 ] were risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with CR-GNB infection treated with polymyxin B. Conversely, an extended duration of polymy xin B treatment [OR=0.92, 95%CI (0.86, 0.99), P =0.03 ] and early administration after CR-GNB infection [OR=0.47, 95%CI (0.25, 0.85), P =0.01 ] were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with cardiovascular disease, receiving mechanical ventilation or CRRT, having bloodstream infection, multiple-site infection or septic shock, combining with vasoactive drugs, with AKI and increased SOFA scores have a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Conversely, extending the duration of polymyxin B treatment (beyond 7 days) and early administration within 48 hours after confirmed CR-GNB infection can significantly reduce the risk of all-cause mortality.

Objective:
To define the mechanism by which swine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication.
Methods:
Porcine 3D4/21 cells with TRIM25 overexpression or knockdown were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Viral replication was quantified by immunoblotting, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and 50% tissue culture infectious dose assays. Type I interferon signaling was assessed by transcript quantification, interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated response element reporter assays, and co-immunoprecipitation.Viral RNA binding was tested by RNA immunoprecipitation.
Results:
TRIM25 overexpression reduced viral RNA and infectious titers, whereas TRIM25 knockdown increased replication (p < 0.01). TRIM25 increased interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated gene expression and enhanced interferon-beta and interferonstimulated response element promoter activity (p < 0.01). Mechanistically, TRIM25 promoted Lys63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I and increased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3. TRIM25 also bound vesicular stomatitis virus genomic RNA, and binding required the C-terminal region.
Conclusions
and Relevance: Porcine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication by amplifying type I interferon signaling and directly binding viral RNA.

AIM: To explore preoperative risk factors affecting residual astigmatism after Toric intraocular lens(IOL)implantation, and construct and verify a clinically applicable prediction model.METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent Toric IOL implantation at Puyang Oilfield General Hospital and the Second People's Hospital of Puyang City from October 2023 to August 2025. Patients were categorized into two groups according to residual astigmatism at 3 mo postoperatively: >0.25 D group and ≤0.25 D group. Preoperative clinical data and ocular parameters of the two groups were collected and compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen risk factors, and a nomogram prediction model was established accordingly. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, calibration curve, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were adopted to evaluate discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability of the model. Bootstrap method was applied for internal validation.RESULTS: Totally 103 patients(103 eyes)were included, with 72 patients(72 eyes)in the group with residual astigmatism ≤0.25 D, including 38 males and 34 females, with an average age of 67.35±6.12 y; There were 31 cases(31 eyes)in group with residual astigmatism >0.25 D, including 19 males and 12 females, with an average age of 69.87±6.45 y. The proportion of patients with a history of diabetes, as well as the values for axial length, horizontal corneal diameter, flat corneal curvature(K1), steep corneal curvature(K2), astigmatic axis and proportion of lens nuclear hardness grade III-IV were significantly higher in the residual astigmatism group >0.25 D than those in the residual astigmatism ≤0.25 D group(all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified increased horizontal corneal diameter, higher K1 value, higher K2 value, and higher lens nuclear hardness(grade III-IV)as independent risk factors for postoperative residual astigmatism >0.25 D(all P<0.05). The nomogram constructed from these factors demonstrated that the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.794, with a sensitivity of 80.31% and a specificity of 75.20%. The concordance index(C-index)of internal validation was 0.865. Calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test(χ2=5.231, P=0.734)indicated good consistency between predicted and actual values of the model.CONCLUSION: The nomogram model established based on horizontal corneal diameter, K1, K2 and lens nucleus hardness exhibits favorable predictive performance. It can effectively predict the risk of residual astigmatism prior to Toric IOL surgery, providing reference for individualized clinical surgical planning.

Abstract
To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

OBJECTIVES:
Exposure to rare earth elements (REEs) has been linked to various systemic diseases, but their impact on the offspring blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the gut-brain axis remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of maternal exposure to neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) on the BBB integrity of offspring rats, and to evaluate the potential protective role of bifidobacterium tetrad viable tablets (BTVT) against Nd2O3-induced intestinal and BBB damage.
METHODS:
Healthy adult SD rats were mated at a 1:1 male-to-female ratio, with the day of vaginal plug detection marked as gestational day 0. A total of 60 pregnant rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: Control, 50 mg/(kg·d) Nd2O3, 100 mg/(kg·d) Nd2O3, 200 mg/(kg·d) Nd2O3, and 200 mg/(kg·d) Nd2O3 + BTVT group. Treatments were administered by daily oral gavage throughout pregnancy and lactation. On postnatal day 21 (weaning), offspring feces, brain, and colon tissues were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to assess structural changes in brain and intestinal tissues. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in feces were quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Evans Blue (EB) dye extravasation assessed BBB permeability. Gene and protein expression levels of tight junction proteins occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) were measured by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting (WB), respectively. Neodymium levels in brain tissue were determined via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
RESULTS:
HE staining revealed that maternal Nd2O3 exposure caused mucosal edema, increased submucosal spacing, and lymphocyte infiltration in offspring colon, as well as neuronal degeneration and vacuolization in brain tissue. BTVT intervention alleviated these changes. GC-MS analysis showed that levels of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and isobutyric acid significantly decreased, while valeric acid and isovaleric acid increased in offspring of Nd2O3-exposed mothers (P<0.05). BTVT significantly restored levels of acetic, propionic, and isobutyric acids and reduced valeric acid content (P<0.05). EB permeability was significantly elevated in Nd2O3-exposed offspring brains (P<0.05), but reduced with BTVT treatment (P<0.05). RT-PCR and WB showed downregulation of occludin and ZO-1 expression following Nd2O3 exposure (P<0.05), which was reversed by BTVT (P<0.05). ICP-MS results indicated significantly increased brain neodymium levels in offspring from all Nd2O3-exposed groups (P<0.05), while BTVT significantly reduced neodymium accumulation compared to the 200 mg/(kg·d) Nd2O3 group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Maternal exposure to Nd2O3 during pregnancy and lactation disrupts intestinal health and BBB integrity in offspring, elevates brain neodymium accumulation, and induces neuronal degeneration. BTVT effectively mitigates Nd2O3-induced intestinal and BBB damage in offspring, potentially through modulation of the gut-brain axis.

Objective:To observe and analyze the levels of vitamin D(VD) and their influencing factors in children undergoing adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy. Methods:A total of 147 children who received adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy in our hospital from November 2018 to March 2019 were selected as the experimental groups, gender and age matched 147 healthy children of the same period were selected as the control group. The differences of VD levels between the two groups were compared, the factors affecting VD levels were investigated, and patients with VD deficiency/insufficiency in the experimental groups were followed up postoperatively. Results:The VD levels of the experimental groups were(19.6±6.6) ng/mL and those of the control groups were (22.5±6.5)ng/mL, which was significantly different (P<0.01). The experimental groups were divided into inflammation groups and Sleeping disorder breathing(SDB)groups. The VD levels of the two groups were (19.1±6.7)ng/mL and (21.9±6.4)ng/mL, which was significantly different (P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that VD levels were negatively correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), adenoid hypertrophy, tonsil hypertrophy and Anti-streptolysin O(ASO)levels (P<0.05). VD values were remeasured one year postoperatively in 23 of 72 children in the VD deficiency/deficiency groups, and there was a statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative VD values[(14.3±3.9)ng/mL and (17.1±5.5) ng/mL, respectively, P<0.05]. There was a significant difference in postoperative VD value between the inflammation groups and the SDB groups[ (15.6±5.9) ng/mL and (20.5±2.1) ng/mL, respectively, P<0.05]. Conclusion:Children who underwent adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy had lower VD levels than healthy children.VD levels decreased with increasing age,BMI and ASO values,and associated with the size of adenoid and tonsil. Preoperative VD levels were lower in the inflammation groups, adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy improved VD deficiency/insufficiency status, and postoperative elevation of VD levels was more pronounced in the SDB groups.

In modern society, sugary foods have become an integral part of many people′s lives. However, excessive sugar consumption has adverse effects on both overall health and oral health, serving as a contributing factor to the global increasing incidence in oral diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, obesity, and diabetes. In response to the health risks related to high-sugar diets, the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Dental Federation (FDI) have proposed initiatives and recommendations, with various governments implementing different policies and strategies to reduce sugar intake. Chinese government has also taken proactive measures. The "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" initiative introduced by the State Council in 2019 established a crucial benchmark in limiting the average daily intake of added sugar to 25 g per person forward to 2030. Experts from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the field of oral health have meticulously examined the impacts of sugar reduction on oral health, as well as strategies, methods, and practical considerations related to reducing sugar intake through several meeting and wrote the "Expert consensus: reducing free-sugar for caries prevention", which was subsequently reviewed and revised based on the feedback from multiple stakeholders. They have conducted thorough analyses of global trends in sugar reduction and best practices to provide valuable insights to China for crafting effective policies and strategies on sugar reduction. This consensus mainly includes the classification of free sugars, the latest scientific evidence on dental caries, recommendations from WHO on sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, nutrition labeling, advertising, food reform, adjusting supply systems, education, and promotion strategies, as well as sugar reduction actions taken by various governments around the world. Combining the actual situation in China, policy recommendations and authoritative popular science knowledge on sugar reduction for caries prevention to public are proposed to advocate for experts in multiple fields to focus on sugar reduction for caries prevention, promote the work process, and provide the scientific basis for oral health educators.

Objective:
To analyze the influence of stress and psychological resilience on the dietary behavior of middle school students so as to privide a basis for the development of policies and interventions aimed at improving middle school students dietary behavior.
Methods:
A total of 8 874 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed using stratified cluster random sampling method from November 2019 to January 2020. The questionnaire included general information, dietary behavior, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Factor analysis was used to analyze the dietary behavior model. Logistic regression model was used to explore the correlation between stress, psychological resilience and dietary behavior in adolescents. Besides, a structural equation model was established to analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience on stress and dietary behavior.
Results:
The total score of psychological resilience among middle school students was (27.99±9.83), and the total score of stress was (25.56±7.06). Factor analysis categorized dietary behavior into two types: the high energy dietary behavior and balanced dietary behavior. High energy dietary behavior exhibited statistically significant differences across genders and schooling stage ( χ 2=41.37, 204.03), while balanced dietary behavior showed statistically significant differences across schooling stage and socioeconomic status ( χ 2=130.23, 96.53) (all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that adolescents with moderate and high stress levels had an increased risks of high energy dietary behavior ( OR=1.25, 95%CI =1.12-1.39; OR=1.58, 95% CI = 1.39-1.79) and a reduced likelihood of reduced balanced dietary behavior ( OR=0.73, 95%CI =0.65-0.81; OR=0.53, 95%CI =0.47-0.60); adolescents with high levels of psychological resilience had a decreased risk of highenergy dietary behavior ( OR= 0.73 , 95%CI =0.65-0.83), and those with moderate and high resilience levels showed improved balanced dietary behavior ( OR= 1.45 , 95%CI =1.29-1.62; OR=2.50, 95%CI =2.21-2.84) (all P <0.01). The mediating effect of psychological resilience between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior accounted for 15.61% and 56.10% of the total effects, respectively.
Conclusions
Stress and psychological resilience are the influencing factors of dietary behavior in middle school students. Psychological resilience have a partial mediating effect between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior.
