Shift work, as a form of non-conventional work schedule, significantly increases the risk of vascular aging and related diseases due to circadian rhythm disruption, sleep disturbances, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. This review systematically summarized the mechanisms and epidemiological evidence linking shift work to vascular aging. Available studies indicated that shift work disrupts the rhythmic expression of core circadian clock genes (e.g., BMAL1, CLOCK, PER, CRY), leading to dysregulated glucose and lipid metabolism, enhanced oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and altered diurnal blood pressure patterns, thereby directly impairing endothelial function and accelerating arterial stiffness. Sleep deprivation and fragmentation further reduce nitric oxide bioavailability and promote endothelin-1 secretion, exacerbating vascular constriction and inflammatory responses. Existing epidemiological data show that shift workers exhibit higher prevalence of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis compared with non-shift workers, accompanied by abnormal vascular function indicators such as pulse wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness. Additionally, unhealthy dietary habits, psychological stress, and sedentary behavior in shift workers synergistically contribute to vascular aging. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the pathological link between shift work and vascular aging and to inform public health policy formulation and occupational health management.

With the deep integration of tumor diagnosis and treatment technologies and critical care medicine, oncology critical care has emerged as an innovative interdisciplinary field, whose standardized development is crucial for improving the prognosis of cancer patients. Based on complex system theory and incorporating cutting-edge clinical practices, this paper systematically elaborates on five core principles for promoting the high-quality development of oncology critical care: complex system thinking, value-based healthcare, interdisciplinary integration, spatiotemporal holism, and humanistic experience. These five principles provide a top-level design framework for the discipline in terms of conceptual understanding, comprehensive management, developmental paradigms, clinical treatment, and service models. They aim to establish a patient-centered oncology critical care system that balances medical quality and efficiency, ultimately maximizing patient survival benefits across their entire life cycle.

Chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG）， a premalignant gastric condition， represents a critical stage in inflammation-cancer transformation. In this pathological process， mitochondrial damage serves as a key mediator in the inflammation-driven transformation of normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells into gastric cancer cells， while the dysregulation of the reactive oxygen species （ROS）/NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） axis plays a key role in perpetuating the vicious cycle of inflammation-mitochondrial damage. The classical theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， vigorous fire consuming Qi， aptly encapsulates this pathological feature. The essence of this theory lies in the struggle between pathogenic and vital factors， wherein vigorous fire shares similarities with chronic inflammation and may be regarded as a driving force behind inflammation-cancer transformation. Qi reflects the mitochondrial function， and consuming Qi signifies structural and functional impairment of mitochondria. Thus， this theory accurately summarizes the pathological characteristics of inflammation-mitochondrial damage during CAG progression. Building upon this theoretical framework， the theory of vigorous fire consuming Qi provides a holistic understanding of CAG pathogenesis. Reviewing the clinical expertise of TCM master YANG Chunbo in treating spleen-stomach disorders， this paper further elucidates its therapeutic implications： modulating systemic inflammatory responses to restore gastric mucosal homeostasis and targeting mitochondrial damage as a pivotal intervention to delay CAG progression. Clinically， achieving dynamic equilibrium between fire and Qi is essential， mitigating excessive inflammation without compromising vital Qi， while reinforcing Qi without exacerbating pathological fire. This approach offers novel insights for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies against CAG.

Objective To observe the predictability of the corneal stromal reduction with smart pulse technology-as-sisted transperitoneal photorefractive keratomileusis(SPT-TPRK)and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK).Methods Patients undergoing laser surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hos-pital of Xinxiang Medical College from February to September 2023 were selected and divided by surgical modalities into an SPT-TPRK group(21 cases,37 eyes)and an FS-LASIK group(18 cases,32 eyes).The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA),intraocular pressure,corneal thickness,and corneal epithelial thickness were measured before surgery,1 week,1 month and 3 months after surgery.The cutting deviation was calculated,and the change of corneal stromal thickness was ob-served.The correlation between the predicted corneal stromal reduction and the cutting deviation was analyzed.Results There were significant differences in UCVA among different time points in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.001).The UCVA of patients in the FS-LASIK group was significantly higher than that in the SPT-TPRK group 1 week after surgery(P＜0.001).The difference in UCVA was not statistically significant between the two groups 1 month and 3 months after surgery(all P＞0.05).There were significant differences in intraocular pressure among different time points in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.001).The FS-LASIK group had a lower intraocular pressure than the SPT-TPRK group 1 week after surgery(P＜0.05),but the difference in intraocular pressure was not statistically significant between the two groups 1 month and 3 months after surgery(all P＞0.05).There was significant difference between predicted cor-neal stromal reductions and actual corneal stromal reductions measured at different time points postoperatively in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.001).The actual corneal stromal reductions were higher than the predicted ones in the SPT-TPRK group at all postoperative time points(all P＜0.05).In the FS-LASIK group,the actual corneal stromal re-ductions were higher than the predicted ones 1 week and 1 month after surgery(all P＜0.05),but the actual and predicted corneal stromal reductions were not significantly different 3 months after surgery(P＞0.05).The cutting deviations were not significantly different between SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups 1 month after surgery(P＞0.05),while the cutting de-viations were significantly different between the two groups 1 week and 3 months after surgery(all P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the change of the stromal thickness among different time points in both SPT-TPRK and FS-LASIK groups(all P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the change of the stromal thickness among different time points in the SPT-TPRK group(all P＞0.05).The stromal thickness showed greater changes 1 month after surgery than that 1 week after surgery in the FS-LASIK group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the change of the stromal thickness between 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the FS-LASIK group(P＞0.05).Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the predicted corneal stromal reduction and the cutting deviation in the SPT-TPRK group 1 week after surgery(P＜0.05),but they had no correlation 1 month and 3 months after surgery(all P＞0.05).There was no correlation between the predicted corneal stromal reduction and the cutting deviation in the FS-LASIK group at all post-operative time points(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Patients who receive SPT-TPRK or FS-LASIK can both achieve good visual acuity and a reduction in intraocular pressure.FS-LASIK has better predictability in refractive error correction than SPT-TPRK.

This report described the multidisciplinary management of a preterm infant with congenital tracheal agenesis (TA). The infant, delivered via cesarean section at 32 +5 weeks' gestation, had Apgar scores of 6 and 8 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Although skin color improved after 30 seconds of bag-mask ventilation, the infant exhibited no cry, weak spontaneous breathing, and failed multiple intubation attempts. The patient was transferred to Anhui Children's Hospital of Fudan University under continuous bag-mask positive-pressure ventilation at 3 hours after birth (September 10, 2024). Combined imaging and fiberoptic bronchoscopy confirmed TA (Floyd type Ⅱ/Faro type C) with multiple anomalies, including duodenal atresia, aortic coarctation, and butterfly vertebrae. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a suspected mosaic SCN2A c.5317G>A variant (wild-type parents) and an ERCC5 c.2974C>T heterozygous variant inherited from the mother (homozygous). Following esophageal intubation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and continuous gastrointestinal decompression, respiratory distress significantly improved with a stabilized condition. The infant died 30 hours after birth following treatment withdrawal.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP)combined with the Evaluation of Guidelines in Syncope Study(EGSYS)score for cardiogenic syncope(CS), and to provide evidence for rapid clinical identification of high-risk patients.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 366 patients with syncope hospitalized in the department of cardiovascular medicine of Beijing Hospital from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022.Based on the international guideline diagnostic criteria, the patients were categorized into four groups: neutrally mediated reflex syncope(NMS)group, orthostatic hypotension(OH)group, cardiogenic syncope(CS)group, and syncope of unknown origin(US)group.BNP levels were measured at admission and EGSYS scores were calculated.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of individual and combined indices for CS.Results:A total of 366 syncope patients were included, among which 70 patients(19.1%)were diagnosed with NMS, 25 patients(6.8%)with OH, 44 patients(12.0%)with CS, and 227 patients(62.0%)with US.Patients in the CS group had significantly higher BNP levels and EGSYS scores compared to those in the NMS, OH, and US groups(all P<0.001). The AUC of EGSYS score for diagnosing CS was 0.783(95% CI: 0.711-0.855), while the AUC of BNP level for diagnosing CS was 0.805(95% CI: 0.727-0.884). When BNP level was combined with EGSYS score, diagnostic performance was significantly improved, with the AUC increasing to 0.855(95% CI: 0.792-0.918). Conclusions:The combination of BNP and EGSYS score significantly can improve the diagnostic accuracy of cardiogenic syncope, providing a practical diagnostic strategy for the early identification of high-risk syncope patients in clinical practice.
