Objective:
To analyze near work illuminance patterns on school days and weekends among third and fourth grade primary school students by using objectively monitored data, and to examine the associations of the duration of near work under different illuminance levels and time weighted average near work illuminance with screening myopia.
Methods:
From April to June 2024, students from grades 3 and 4 in two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai were selected as study subjects by using stratified random cluster sampling method. Continuous objective monitoring of near work behavior was conducted for 7 days while information from uncorrected visual acuity and refractive assessment was collected, and an online questionnaire survey was administered to their parents. Valid samples comprised 372 students on school days and 292 on weekends. Welch s t test was used to compare differences in the duration of near work under different illuminance levels between the screening myopia and non-myopia groups. Multivariable binary Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the association between the duration of near work under different illuminance levels and screening myopia. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was used to explore the nonlinear association between time weighted average near work illuminance with 60 cm and screening myopia, and the critical thresholds identified by the RCS model were used to categorize illuminance levels for subsequent Logistic regression analyses.
Results:
Objective monitoring of near work behavior showed that the duration of near work in the low illuminance range of [0,125)lx was significantly longer on weekends[(4.12±2.21)h] than on school days [(2.42±1.22)h]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that only on school days, each additional hour of near work duration in the [0,125)lx ( OR =1.56, 95% CI =1.23-1.98) and ≥1 000 lx range ( OR =5.92, 95% CI =1.48-23.73) were significantly associated with higher odds of screening myopia(both P < 0.05). RCS plot showed that on school days, time weighted average near work illuminance with 60 cm had a non-linear association with screening myopia ( P non-linear <0.05). On weekends, no significant association was found between near work illuminance indicators and screening myopia (all P >0.05).
Conclusions
Primary school students engage in near work for considerable durations in insufficient lighting environments on both school days and weekends. Increased duration of near work in overly dim or bright environments on school days may increase the risk of screening myopia.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is not only associated with gastrointestinal diseases, but also potentially links with neuropsychiatric disorders revealed by recent studies. Through a systematic review of the existing literature, this review summarizes epidemiological evidence for the association between H. pylori infection and diseases such as Parkinson′s disease (PD), Alzheimer′s disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), migraine, depression, and anxiety disorders, and further explores potential mechanisms by which it affects central nervous system function, including neural pathways mediated by the enteric nervous system and the vagus nerve, immune pathways mediated by inflammatory cytokines, and endocrine pathways mediated by gut microbial metabolites. Additionally, the current challenges facing H. pylori eradication therapy and the prospects for emerging adjuvant strategies such as probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation are discussed. Finally, future research directions are outlined, emphasizing the need for prospective cohort studies based on standardized diagnostic methods and further investigation using animal models to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms, with the aim of providing new perspectives for the prevention, treatment, and early intervention of related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of berberine in atopic dermatitis(AD)rats based on PI3K/Akt/NF-kappa B signaling pathway.Methods Sixty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the blank group(normal rats),the control group(AD model,50 mg/kg berberine treatment)and the experimental group(AD model,200 mg/kg berberine treatment),with 20 rats in each group.The levels of interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-13(IL-13)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)at 1 d,7 d and 14 d of intervention.The protein levels of PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt and NF-κB p65 were detected by Western blot assay.Pathological changes of rat skin tissue were analyzed by HE staining.Results After intervention for 1 d,7 d and 14 d,serum levels of IL-4,IL-13,TNF-α and PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt and NF-kappa B p65 were higher in the control group than those in the blank group(P<0.05).After intervention for 7 d and 14 d,the levels of the above indicators were lower in the experimental group than those in the control group(P<0.05).After 14 days of intervention,compared with the blank group,the skin tissue of rats in the control group and the experimental group showed obvious pathological changes,including thickening of epidermis layer,excessive keratinization of the stratum comeum,thickening of spinous layer and a large infiltration of inflammatory cells in dermis.The pathological damage of rat skin tissue was significantly alleviated in the experimental group.Conclusion Berberine can inhibit the activation of PI3K/Akt/NF-kappa B signaling pathway,reduce serum level of inflammatory factors and reduce pathological damage of skin tissue in AD rats.

ObjectiveTo explore the pathological mechanism-syndrome-treatment patterns of approved Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) that treat collateral disorders, providing a reference for the principle of "treating different diseases with the same therapy" in collateral pathology. MethodsCPMs that apply treatment strategies based on collateral disorders were identified from the Pharmacodia database by extracting information from the "efficacy" or "indications" sections of drug package inserts. A database was established to extract the names and compositions of the CPMs, as well as their indications, related traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms, disease locations (affected areas), and pathological factors. Frequency statistics were performed. Using the Apriori algorithm, an association rule analysis was conducted on CPMs and disease-location combinations related to the top three most frequent pathological factor combinations. Core formulas for these combinations were identified and analyzed through drug network analysis and MCODE module clustering. ResultsA total of 660 CPMs targeting collateral disorders were retrieved, involving 299 indications, 323 TCM symptoms, 21 disease locations, 19 pathological factors, and 124 pathological factor combinations. The most frequent pathological factor combinations were blood stasis (involved in 109 CPMs, 16.52%), exogenous wind (外风) -cold-dampness (involved in 43 CPMs, 6.52%), and qi deficiency-blood stasis (involved in 42 CPMs, 6.36%). Analysis of the core formulas for these combinations revealed common ingredients such as Honghua (Carthami Flos), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Dilong (Pheretima). ConclusionCollateral disorders involve a wide range of pathogenesis and represent a fundamental mechanism in the onset and development of various diseases, characterized by obstruction and stagnation. The primary therapeutic principle is unblocking of the collaterals. Blood stasis obstructing the collaterals is the core pathological basis, and the strategy of activating blood circulation and resolving stasis to unblock the collaterals should be central to the treatment. The core medication pattern involves combining blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs with insect-derived medicinals that unblock collaterals. Exogenous wind is often the initiating patholo-gical factor in colla-teral disorders, and the appropriate addition of wind-dispelling herbs can enrich the treatment strategies for such conditions.

Objective:To construct and evaluate the predictive performance of a multiphase ultrasound radiomics model for microvascular invasion(MVI)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:A total of 126 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC were retrospectively enrolled from 4 medical centers between May 2018 and July 2025,including the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University,Shanxi Province Third People's Hospital,Changzhi People's Hospital,and the Organ Transplant Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. A total of 630 ultrasound images of the lesions in different phases were collected,from which 1 561 radiomic features were extracted. The patients from medical institutions in Shanxi Province were chosen as the training set( n=91),and the patients from the Organ Transplant Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were chosen as the validation set( n=35). In the training set,37.4%(34/91)patients presented MVI(+),whereas in the validation set,54.3%(19/35)patients presented MVI(+). Radiomics features were extracted from ultrasound images,and features related to the MVI(+)were selected through dimensionality reduction analysis. Five multiple machine learning algorithms were used to construct predictive models,which were then evaluated using an external validation set. The Radscore was calculated,and a nomogram was constructed combining Radscore with ultrasound and clinical characteristics to predict MVI. Results:The model combining radiomics features from the portal venous phase and the delay phase showed the best predictive performance in both the training and validation sets,with area under curve(AUC)values of 0.835 and 0.727,respectively. The prediction model developed using radiomics Radscore and clinical indicators could be represented and presented as a nomogram.Conclusions:The radiomics model based on multi-phase ultrasound offers a novel approach for non-invasive preoperative prediction of MVI in liver cancer. Furthermore,its integration with clinical features aids in optimizing clinical treatment strategies.
