1.Expert recommendations on vision friendly built environments for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):1-5
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 schoolled 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.

Objective:
To establish a progressive research strategy for “colonic components analysis - efficacy verification and mechanism exploration - gut microbiota”, screen pharmacodynamic substances, and investigate their mechanism via gut microbiota.
Methods:
The pharmacodynamics of Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQD) were assessed using a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis (UC). Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer was used to identify the prototype and metabolic components of GQD in the colon during UC. To analyze the structure and function of characteristic genera of GQD and its active components, 16S rRNA sequencing was performed.
Results:
We identified 67 prototypic and 14 metabolic components of GQD in the UC colon. The primary prototype components are flavonoids and alkaloids, including puerarin (PUE), baicalin (BAI), and berberine (BER). The metabolism was predominantly sulfonation. Efficacy verification showed that the main active components, puerarin, baicalin, and berberine, had good therapeutic effects on UC. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that GQD improved UC by regulating the structure and function of the gut microbiota. The abundance of gut microbiota involved in the metabolism of the prototype components was influenced by the corresponding components. The function prediction results showed that PUE was the most comparable to GQD, with 24 consistent pathways. BAI and BER showed comparable gut microbiota regulation pathways. Characteristic pathways of BER include glucometabolic processes.
Conclusion
This study focused on the key issues in the gut microbiota pathway and developed a progressive research strategy to understand the transformation mechanisms of colonic components. This research systematically analyzed the active components and metabolic transformation of GQD in the colon during the pathological state of UC, as well as changes in the structure and function of the gut microbiota, clarified the mechanism of GQD and its active components in improving UC via the gut microbiota pathway.

Objective:To analyze the expression of FAT1 gene in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and its relationship with clinicopathological features, prognosis, and immunotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.Methods:(1) Bioinformatics analysis: based on FAT1 mRNA expression and clinical data of 179 cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the TCGA database, and FAT1 mRNA expression data of 328 cases of normal pancreatic tissues in the GTEx database. We analyzed the differences in FAT1 mRNA expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and normal pancreatic tissues and the relationship between FAT1 mRNA expression and the degree of differentiation, clinical stage, prognosis, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint-associated genes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. FAT1-related differentially expressed genes were analyzed by applying Limma 3.40.2 software package, and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the differentially expressed genes. Immunohistochemical (IHC) of FAT1 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and normal pancreatic tissues was analyzed by HPA database. (2) Validation of own tissue samples: tissue samples and clinical and prognostic data of 192 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma admitted to Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from March 8, 2010 to September 30, 2020 were collected. IHC was performed on the tissue samples to verify the protein expression of FAT1 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and its relationship with immune-related proteins, the degree of differentiation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, clinical staging, and prognosis.Results:(1) Bioinformatics analysis: the FAT1 mRNA expression of 179 pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues from the TCGA database was 5.55±1.04, which was higher than that of 328 normal pancreatic tissues with FAT1 mRNA from the GTEx database (2.95±0.53, P<0.001). FAT1-specific IHC images showed that FAT1 expression was generally high in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues, and FAT1 expression shifted from the cell membrane to the cytoplasm. The FAT1 mRNA expression in the highly differentiated group (31 cases), the moderately differentiated group (96 cases), and the lowly differentiated group (52 cases) were 4.99±1.46, 5.51±0.80, and 5.68±1.08, the expression of pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues were all higher than that of normal pancreatic tissues (all P<0.001), and the FAT1 mRNA expression of the moderately differentiated group and the poorly differentiated group were all higher than that of the highly differentiated group (all P<0.001). The median progression-free survival time (PFS) and median overall survival time (OS) of the 90 patients in the FAT1 mRNA low-expression group were 16.5 and 24 months, respectively, which were longer than those of the 89 patients in the FAT1 mRNA high-expression group (median PFS and OS were 13 and 18 months, respectively; P-values were 0.011 and 0.005, respectively). Multifactorial Cox regression analysis showed that FAT1 mRNA expression level was an independent influencing factor for OS in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients ( HR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.09-1.99). Correlation analysis showed that FAT1 mRNA expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma was positively correlated with B-cell infiltration, CD8+ T-cell infiltration, neutrophil infiltration, macrophage infiltration, and myeloid dendritic cell infiltration ( ρ=0.27, P<0.001; ρ=0.28, P<0.001; ρ=0.32, P<0.001; ρ=0.21, P=0.004; ρ=0.32, P<0.001), and also positively correlated with mRNA expression of CD274, HAVCR2, and PDCD1LG2 ( r=0.327, P<0.001; r=0.231, P=0.002; r=0.258, P<0.001). GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that FAT1 mRNA expression levels were associated with activation of the Wnt signaling pathway ( P=0.029), the PI3K/Akt pathway ( P<0.001), and other tumor microenvironment-related pathways. (2) Validation of own tissue samples: among 192 pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues, FAT1 was highly expressed in 58 cases (30.21%), and the proportion of FAT1-expressing positive tumor cells was positively correlated with the combined positive score of PD-L1 and the number of CD3+ T-cells infiltration ( r=0.154, P=0.032; r=0.287, P<0.001), and the protein expression of FAT1 had no correlation with the differentiation degree of pancreatic adenocarcinoma ( ρ=0.082, P=0.254). The median OS of 58 patients in the FAT1 high-expression group and 134 patients in the FAT1 low-expression group were 18.89 and 25.84 months, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=1.93, P=0.165). Conclusion:FAT1 gene is highly expressed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues, may play an oncogenic role in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, may be an adverse influence on overall survival and progression-free survival of patients; FAT1 gene may be involved in multiple immune-related pathways and promote tumor immune escape.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a formidable disease due to its complex pathogenesis. Macrophages, as a major immune cell population in IBD, are crucial for gut homeostasis. However, it is still unveiled how macrophages modulate IBD. Here, we found that LIM domain only 7 (LMO7) was downregulated in pro-inflammatory macrophages, and that LMO7 directly degraded 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) through K48-mediated ubiquitination in macrophages. As an enzyme that regulates glycolysis, PFKFB3 degradation led to the glycolytic process inhibition in macrophages, which in turn inhibited macrophage activation and ultimately attenuated murine colitis. Moreover, we demonstrated that PFKFB3 was required for histone demethylase Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3) expression, thereby inhibiting the protein level of trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Overall, our results indicated the LMO7/PFKFB3/JMJD3 axis is essential for modulating macrophage function and IBD pathogenesis. Targeting LMO7 or macrophage metabolism could potentially be an effective strategy for treating inflammatory diseases.
