Objective: To investigate the current status of screening myopia and anxiety symptoms and associated factors among junior and senior high school students in Beijing, so as to provide evidence for myopia prevention and control and the improvement of mental health among adolescents. Methods: From September to November 2024, a total of 17 245 junior high schools, general senior high schools and vocational high schools from 16 districts in Beijing were enrolled by stratified cluster sampling method. Questionnaire surveys and vision screening were conducted to collect data on anxiety symptom and screening diagnosed myopia. The Chi square test was used to analyze the co-occurrence of myopia and anxiety symptoms, and binary Logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the related factors of the co-occurrence. Results: The overall detection rate of cooccurrence screening myopia and anxiety symptoms among Beijing junior and senior high school students was 6.00%. The detection rate was higher in females ( 7.15 %) than in males (4.90%), higher in urban areas (6.65%) than in suburban areas (5.41%), and higher in general senior high school students (7.61%) than in vocational high school students (6.46%) and junior high school students (4.65%). All differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=38.49, 11.66, 54.88, all P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female gender ( OR =1.43), general senior high school ( OR =1.60), vocational high school ( OR =1.59), daily sugar sweetened beverage intake ( OR =1.66), participation in academic extracurricular classes in preschool ( OR =1.30), electronic screen use for more than 2 hours per day ( OR =1.21), and insufficient sleep ( OR =2.41) were associated with an increased risk of co-occurring screening diagnosed myopia and anxiety symptoms (all P <0.05). Conclusions The co-occurrence of screening diagnosed of myopia and anxiety symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Beijing is common. Female gender, senior high school students, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are all risk factors for the co-occurrence of myopia and anxiety symptom. Comprehensive intervention measures can be adopted to simultaneously promote vision protection and mental health among junior and senior high school students.

Objective To investigate the correlation of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase 2a(SERCA2a)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)to albumin(ALB)ratio(BAR)with cardiac function and prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods A total of 200 CHF patients admitted to this hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the CHF group and 100 healthy people un-dergoing physical examination as the control group.CHF patients were divided into class Ⅰ group(38 cases),class Ⅱ group(40 cases),class Ⅲ group(54 cases)and class Ⅳ group(68 cases)according to the New York Heart Association(NYHA)cardiac function classification after admission.According to the prognosis,they were divided into poor prognosis group(60 cases)and good prognosis group(140 cases).Serum SERCA2a BUN,ALB levels were measured and BAR was calculated.Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between serum SERCA2a,BAR and NYHA cardiac function classification in CHF pa-tients.Taking the prognosis of CHF patients as the dependent variable,a multivariate unconditional Logistic regression model was established to determine its influencing factors.Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of serum SERCA2a and BAR for poor prognosis of CHF patients.Results Compared with the control group,the serum SERCA2a level was decreased and BAR was increased in the CHF group(P＜0.05).The level of SERCA2a in class Ⅰ group,class Ⅱ group,class Ⅲ group and classⅣ group decreased and BAR increased successively(P＜0.05).The NYHA classification was negatively cor-related with serum SERCA2a level(rs=-0.756,P＜0.05),and positively correlated with BAR(rs=0.722,P＜0.05).After 1-year follow-up,the incidence of poor prognosis in 200 CHF patients was 30.00％(60/200).Increased NYHA class(OR=1.936,95％CI:1.115-3.364),atrial fibrillation(OR=3.269,95％CI:1.078-9.913),N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(OR=1.002,95％CI:1.001-1.009)and BAR(OR=1.169,95％CI:1.082-1.263)were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with CHF(P＜0.05),increased left ventricular ejection fraction(OR=0.810,95％CI:0.716-0.916)and SERCA2a(OR=0.964,95％CI:0.947-0.981)were independent protective factors(P＜0.05).The area under the curve of serum SERCA2a combined with BAR to predict the poor prognosis of CHF patients was 0.865(95％CI:0.810-0.910),which was larger than 0.784(95％CI:0.720-0.839)and 0.777(95％CI:0.713-0.833)predicted by serum SERCA2a and BAR levels alone,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=2.944,3.250,P＜0.05).Conclusion The decrease of SERCA2a and the increase of BAR are closely re-lated to cardiac function and prognosis in patients with CHF.Serum SERCA2a combined with BAR has a higher value in predicting poor prognosis in patients with CHF.

Bacterial reinfection in the lungs of patients with influenza virus(IV)is a key factor leading to serious illness and death.The adverse consequences caused by co-infection with IV and Streptococcus pneumoniae(SPN)impose a serious burden on patients.However,the specific pathogenesis is complex,how to make better use of the mouse animal model of IV/SPN co-infection for subsequent basic research is of great significance.This article reviews the selection of animals,the selection of pathogen types,the selection of different modeling times,the identification of the co-infection model,and its applications in the IV/SPN co-infection model,so as to provide a reference for the selection of animal models of IV/SPN co-infection in the future.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the molecular mechanism by which lncRNA SNHG15 regulates proliferation, invasion and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cells. METHODS: The lncRNA microarray chip dataset GSE196584 and LncBase were used to predict the lncRNAs that interact with miR-30b-3p, and their association with patient prognosis were investigated using online databases, after which lncRNA nucleolar RNA host gene 15 (SNHG15) was selected for further analysis. The subcellular localization of lncRNA SNHG15 and its expression levels in normal human lung epithelial cells and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization and qRT-PCR. In cultured A549 cells, the changes in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion following transfection with a SNHG15 knockdown plasmid (sh-SNHG15), a miR-30b-3p inhibitor, or their co-transfection were assessed with EdU, wound healing, and Transwell assays. Bioinformatics analyses were used to predict the regulatory relationship between lncRNA SNHG15 and COX6B1, and the results were verified using Western blotting and rescue experiments in A549 cells transfected with sh-SNHG15, a COX6B1-overexpressing plasmid, or both. RESULTS: LncRNA SNHG15 was shown to target miR-30b-3p, and the former was highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, and associated with a poor patient prognosis. LncRNA SNHG15 was localized in the cytoplasm and expressed at higher levels in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells than in BEAS-2B cells. In A549 cells, lncRNA SNHG15 knockdown significantly inhibited cell migration, invasion and proliferation, and these changes were reversed by miR-30b-3p inhibitor. A regulatory relationship was found between lncRNA SNHG15 and COX6B1, and their expression levels were positively correlated (r=0.128, P=0.003). MiR-30b-3p knockdown obviously decreased COX6B1 expression in A549 cells, and COX6B1 overexpression rescued the cells from the inhibitory effects of lncRNA-SNHG15 knockdown. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA SNHG15 may compete with COX6B1 to bind miR-30b-3p through a ceRNA mechanism to affect proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Nine novel compounds, comprising seven tetrahydroanthraquinones (auxarthrolones A-G, 1-7), a γ-butenolide glycoside (malfilamentoside E, 26), and a γ-butenolide (auxarthrolide A, 27), together with eighteen known compounds (8-25) were isolated from rice-based solid culture of Auxarthron umbrinum (A. umbrinum) DSM3193 using the one strain many compounds (OSMAC) approach. The structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and NMR calculation combined with DP4+ analysis or MAEΔΔδ parameter, while the absolute configurations of new compounds were established through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopic data analysis and/or chemical derivatization. Austrocortilutein (10) and auxarthrol H (14) demonstrated moderate cytotoxicity against U87 and U251 [half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) 3.5-12.1 μmol·L^-1]. Additionally, auxarthrolone A (1), auxarthrol H (14), eupolyphagin B (15), and 7-hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxypropyl)-5-methylchromone (17) exhibited torsional effects on fibroblast proliferation challenges induced by oleic acid, thus demonstrating fibroblast proliferation-promoting activity.

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to variants of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1β) (MODY5) has not been well studied in the Chinese population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence and evaluate the application of a clinical screening method (Faguer score) in Chinese early-onset diabetes (EOD) patients. Methods: Among 679 EOD patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age at diagnosis ≤40 years), the exons of HNF1β were sequenced. Functional impact of rare variants was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter system. Faguer scores ≥8 prompted multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for large deletions. Pathogenicity of HNF1β variants was assessed following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Results: Two rare HNF1β missense mutations (E105K and G454R) were identified by sequencing in five patients, showing functional impact in vitro. Another patient was found to have a whole-gene deletion by MLPA in 22 patients with the Faguer score above 8. Following ACMG guidelines, six patients carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were diagnosed with MODY5. The estimated prevalence of MODY5 in Chinese EOD patients was approximately 0.9% or higher. Conclusion MODY5 is not uncommon in China. The Faguer score is helpful in deciding whether to perform MLPA analysis on patients with negative sequencing results.

Objective:To investigate improvement of dexamethasone(DM)treatment after intrauterine adhesion decomposition on uterine fibrosis and inflammatory factors.Methods:A total of 60 patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions admitted to The Reproductive Medicine Center of Jilin Provincial People's Hospital from March 2021 to March 2023 were selected,and divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.Control group under-went simple hysteroscopic adhesion decomposition,and experimental group underwent intrauterine infusion treatment with DM injec-tion after intrauterine adhesion decomposition.Improvement of clinical symptoms in the two groups was observed.RT-qPCR was used to detect changes in mRNA levels of intimal receptivity-related factors ER,EGFR,LIF,ITGB3,HOXA10,HOXA11,fibrosis-related factors TGF-β1,E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Smad,and inflammatory related factors IL-8,IL-2 and CD138 in two groups.Western blot was used to detect changes in expression levels of inflammatory related proteins IL-8,IL-2 and CD138.Results:Compared with before treatment,endometrial thickness,mRNA levels of ER,EGFR,LIF,ITGB3,HOXA10,HOXA11 and E-cadherin were significantly increased,while mRNA levels of TGF-β1,N-cadherin,Smad,IL-8,IL-2 and CD138,protein levels of IL-8,IL-2 and CD138,and endometrial blood flow parameters PI,RI and adhesion were significantly decreased.Eendometrial thickness,mRNA levels of ER,EGFR,LIF,ITGB3,HOXA10,HOXA11 and E-cadherin in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group,while mRNA levels of IL-8,IL-2,TGF-β1,N-cadherin,Smad,CD138,IL-8,IL-2 and CD138,and endometrial blood flow parameters PI,RI and adhesion were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Treatment of DM after intrauterine adhe-sion decomposition can improve intrauterine adhesion,blood flow parameters and endometrial receptivity,and prevent the recurrence of intrauterine adhesion,which mechanism may be related to up-regulation of E-cadherin expression and down-regulation of IL-8,IL-2,CD138,TGF-β1,N-cadherin and Smad expressions.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing, this paper systematically elaborates the development of geriatric nursing as a core discipline in addressing the challenges of aging, from its inception and systematization to innovative development, and analyzes its challenges and prospects. Against the backdrop of China's large aging population and accelerating aging trend, geriatric nursing aims to meet the multi-level health needs of older adults. It has gradually expanded from early focus on disease-centered care to holistic health maintenance, functional promotion, and quality of life improvement for older adults, with the discipline's scope and depth continuously evolving. The discipline development can be divided into three stages: the foundation stage, defined by the initiation of national policies and the establishment of educational systems and teaching materials; the system-building stage, characterized by clearer disciplinary positioning, refined curriculum system, diversified clinical practices, and a robust talent development mechanism; and the innovative development stage, when, driven by policies, technology, and interdisciplinary collaboration, high quality and diversification are emerging. However, geriatric nursing still faces challenges such as insufficient coordination in top-level design, an incomplete theoretical framework, an imbalance between supply and demand for services, and uneven distribution of educational resources. In the future, through policy system optimization, smart health and wellness technology, multidisciplinary integration, education system reform, and deepening scientific research and international cooperation, a modern geriatric nursing discipline system with Chinese characteristics will be established to support healthy aging and the healthy China strategy.
