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 schoolled 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.

The Healthy China 2030 Plan set the goal of reducing premature deaths from diabetes by 30% by 2030. However, there has been a lack of assessment of premature mortality for diabetes since the action plan was issued. This study used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, calculated the premature deaths for diabetes by sex, provinces, and subtypes from 1990 to 2021. We explored the temporal trend of premature mortality using the average annual percent change (AAPC) for different sexes, provinces, and subtypes from 1990 to 2021. Furthermore, we predicted premature mortality for diabetes through 2030 for China and its provinces according to the average annual change rate from 2010 to 2021. There was a first slow upward trend in premature mortality for diabetes from 0.5% in 1990 to 0.6% in 2004, and then a decline until 2021 with premature mortality of 0.4%. By 2030, only Fujian (30.3%) will achieve the desired level of reduction, with only seven provinces meeting the target for females and none for males. There is a large range in the degree of decline between inland and coastal regions, showing obvious geographic differences, and there should be a focus on balancing medical resources.

Objective To explore the cost effectiveness of osimertinib and gefitinib in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） with epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR） mutation. Methods A total of 52 advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation treated by osimertinib were selected as group A from June 2021 to August 2022 at the Chengde Central Hospital, and 52 patients treated by gefitinib were selected as group B according to the propensity score matching method in 1∶1 ratio. The treatment cost and effect of the two groups of patients were compared, and the cost-effectiveness ratio was calculated, and sensitivity analysis was conducted. Results The total effective rate of group A was higher than that of group B （90.38% vs 71.15%, χ²=6.190, P=0.013）. The drug cost and total treatment cost of group A were higher than those of group B（P<0.05）, and other direct costs were lower than those of group B （P<0.05）. The incremental cost effectiveness ratio of group A was 374.71. After the cost-effectiveness sensitivity analysis on adjusting drug costs to decrease by 10% and the total effective rate to decrease by 10% of the two groups, the sensitivity analysis results were basically consistent with the original results. Conclusion Based on the latest prices and actual case data of osimertinib and gefitinib, osimertinib was better than gefitinib in the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation. Although gefitinib had lower treatment costs, osimertinib had more cost effectiveness advantages. These findings could provide important reference for the clinical development of treatment plans for advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics of abnormalities spinal curvature among children and adolescents in Karst landform in Guizhou Province, so as to provide a scientific basis for targeted comprehensive intervention. Methods: From September to December 2023, 194 875 children and adolescents aged 6-18 were selected from all countieldistricts of 9 cities (prefectures) in Guizhou Province by stratified random cluster sampling method according to the proportion of Karst landform area in Guizhou Province for carrying out spinal curvature abnormality screening, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on 139 449 students in the fourth grade and above of primary school. Binary Logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. Results: The detection rate of abnormal spinal curvature among children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Guizhou Province was 1.13%. The detection rates of abnormal spinal curvature in areas with a high proportion of Karst landform, areas with a low proportion of Karst landform, intercalation areas, and nonKarst landform areas were 1.10%, 2.00%, 0.90%, and 0.60%, respectively. Among them, the detection rates of abnormal spinal curvature in female students (2.40%, 1.60%, 0.90%) in areas with a low proportion of Karst landform, intercalation areas and nonKarst landform were higher than those in male students (1.60%, 0.10%, 0.30) (χ2=12.66, 112.69, 30.22, all P<0.05). The detection rates of abnormal spinal curvature among senior high school students (2.00%, 4.30%, 1.40%, 1.30%) in different Karst landform distributions were successively higher than those among junior high school students (1.40%, 3.20%, 1.00%, 0.60%) and primary school students (0.70%, 0.80%, 0.60%, 0.30%) (χ2=306.11, 175.80, 14.24, 39.57, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the detection rates of abnormal spinal curvature in both highproportion and lowproportion Karst landform areas were higher than those in nonKarst landform areas [OR(95%CI)=1.84(1.05-2.25), 1.60(1.23-2.09), both P<0.05]. Conclusion The detection rate of abnormal spinal curvature in children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Guizhou Province is related to the distribution of Karst landform, so it is necessary to strengthen screening and appropriate comprehensive interventions.

In this work, starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin, three series of 22 coumarin derivatives, among which 8 have not been reported in the literature, were synthesized and their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities and mechanisms of action were preliminarily investigated using mouse macrophage model. The results showed that most of the derivatives could significantly inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factor NO, with compounds 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j, 4e, and 4f showing better anti-inflammatory activity than the positive control drug dexamethasone. Further experiments showed that compounds 2h and 4f significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in RAW264.7 macrophages, and could, therefore, be used as lead compounds for further studies.

Objective: To understand classroom environmental conditions and their association with spinal curvature abnormalities among students of primary and secondary schools in Guizhou Province, so as to provide a basis for formulating school health policies and scientific prevention and control measures for abnormal spinal curvature in students. Methods: Using a stratified random sampling method, 471 schools (2 811 classrooms) were selected annually across the province from 2022 to 2024 in order to monitor and evaluate classroom environment according to national standards. Spinal examinations were conducted for 196 606 (2022), 194 876 (2023), and 195 048 (2024) students, and χ 2 test was used to analyze the correlation of desk and chair compliance with student spinal curvature abnormalities. Results: The qualified rates of classroom blackboard illuminance uniformity ( 85.41 %) and the blackboard size (82.24%) were the highest in primary and secondary schools in Guizhou Province, while the average blackboard surface illumination qualified rate (20.10%) was the lowest. The average desk illumination (50.11%-58.63%), desk illumination uniformity (61.92%-72.27%) and qualified noise rate (50.04%-51.94%) increased significantly in 3 years; in addition, the compliance rate of desks and chairs decreased from 25.00% to 13.52%, and the differences were all statistically significant ( χ 2=42.48, 80.93, 46.09, 129.72, all P <0.05). Middle school classrooms outperformed primary schools in terms of per capita area, average blackboard illuminance, blackboard illuminance uniformity, average desktop illuminance, desktop illuminance uniformity, and noise compliance ( χ 2=311.55, 12.41, 20.64, 40.76, 10.25, 52.47), but had lower compliance for blackboard size and reflectance ( χ 2=537.29, 7.59) (all P <0.01). Urban schools had higher compliance than suburban schools for per capita area, average blackboard illuminance, average desktop illuminance, and desktop illuminance uniformity ( χ 2=73.71, 17.68, 29.30 , 36.03), but lower compliance for desk-chair suitability, blackboard size, and blackboard reflectance ( χ 2=4.72, 26.02, 5.43 ) (all P <0.05). The spinal curvature abnormality detection rate was 0.83%. A significant association was found between abnormality detection and desk-chair non compliance ( χ 2=223.85, P <0.01). Conclusions Classroom environment hygiene in Guizhou schools is suboptimal. Strengthening school environmental hygiene infrastructure and greater attention to its impact on student s health are essential.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) combined with early enteral nutrition (EEN) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:A prospective study was conducted, enrolling 85 patients with SAP complicated by AKI admitted to the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from January 2022 to December 2023. These patients were randomized into an LMP group ( n=42) and a control group ( n=43) using a random number table. The control group received traditional EEN, while the LMP group received traditional EEN combined with LMP. Nutritional indicators [total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), and prealbumin (PA)], inflammatory markers [C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], renal function indicators [creatinine (Cr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA)], AKI stage, and fecal intestinal flora were compared between these two groups before and 7 days after intervention. Results:After 7 days of intervention, the TP, Alb, and PA levels significantly increased in both groups (all P<0.05); the increases in TP and PA were more significant in the LMP group (both P<0.05), whereas the increase in Alb did not differ significantly between groups ( P>0.05). The levels of CRP, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α decreased significantly in both groups (all P<0.05),with more significant reductions in the LMP group (all P<0.001). The levels of Cr, eGFR, BUN, and UA improved significantly in both groups (all P<0.05),with more significant improvements in the LMP group (all P<0.05). The incidence of a higher AKI stage in the LMP group was significantly lower than that in the control group( P<0.05), and the incidence of a lower AKI stage was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.001). The fecal counts of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus increased significantly while the fecal counts of Enterococcus and Enterobacter decreased significantly in both group (all P<0.001); notably, these changes in bacterial counts were significantly more pronounced in the LMP group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:EEN combined with LMP can significantly enhance nutritional status, reduce inflammatory response, and improve renal function in patients with SAP complicated by AKI.

Objective To explore the predictive value of combined detection of serum interleukin-35(IL-35),proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9),and microRNA-155(miR-155)for sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).Methods A total of 170 patients with sepsis admitted in the hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected.Patients were divided into MODS group and non-MODS group according to whether they developed secondary MODS within 28 days.Clinical data and serum levels ofIL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 were compared between the two groups.Pearson method and partial correlation coefficient were used to analyze the correlation between serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 and the severity of sepsis and the risk of MODS,and receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the pre-dictive value of serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 alone and in combination for MODS.In addition,83 patients with sepsis in the hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were selected as external validation data sets for exter-nal validation.Results Age,percentage of patients with diabetes mellitus,quick sequential organ function as-sessment scale(qSOFA)score,acute physiology and chronic health status evaluation scale Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,and serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 levels in the MODS group were higher than those in the non-MODS group(P＜0.05).Pearson method showed that serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 were positively cor-related with qSOFA score and APACHE Ⅱ score(P＜0.05).Partial correlation coefficient analysis showed that after excluding other factors,serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 were still significantly associated with the risk of MODS(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combi-nation of serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 for predicting MODS was 0.907,which was greater than the AUC of each indicator alone.External validation ROC analysis showed that the AUC of combined detection of the three was 0.914.Conclusion The expression of serum IL-35,PCSK9,and miR-155 is significantly associated with the risk of sepsis-induced MODS.Combined detection has certain predictive value for the secondary de-velopment of MODS,and could be used as auxiliary indicators for clinical prediction for MODS,thereby guid-ing clinical prevention and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of Jiawei Ditan Decoction on neurological function,pentraxin-3(PTX-3),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in patients with post-ischemic stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI).Methods A total of 97 patients with PSCI who were admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from March 2022 to March 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to control group(n=48)or decoction group(n=49)using the envelope drawing method.The control group received conventional treatment,while the decoction group was additionally treated with Jiawei Ditan Decoction.Clinical efficacy,Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,cognitive and functional assessments,laboratory markers,and oxidative stress levels were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate in the decoction group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).At 3 and 6 months after treatment,TCM syndrome scores in the decoction group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The scores of the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA),mini-mental state examination(MMSE),and Barthel index(BI)in the decoction group were higher than those in the control group at 3 months after treatment,while the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score in the decoction group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).At 1 month after treatment,PTX-3 and hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)levels in the decoction group were lower than those in the control group,while VEGF,superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),and nitric oxide(NO)levels in the decoction group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Jiawei Ditan Decoction exhibits significant effects on improving neurological function and modulating PTX-3 and VEGF levels in patients with PSCI.
