Background Climate change poses a significant threat to public health. In China, relevant health intervention research is still in its early stages, and evidence for evaluating the effectiveness of regional climate change health adaptation strategies and measures is scarce. Objective To investigate the level of climate change-related health literacy among residents in Shenzhen, implement targeted health interventions, and assess the intervention effects as well as their influencing factors. Methods From July 2023 to January 2024, 4 communities were randomly selected in Shenzhen, and a total of 896 community residents were enrolled and divided into an intervention group (444 participants) and a control group (452 participants). Baseline and follow-up surveys on climate change-related health literacy were conducted among residents for both groups. During the period between the two surveys, the intervention group received targeted health interventions. Health literacy—comprising 3 dimensions: basic health knowledge and concepts, basic health skills, and healthy lifestyles—was defined as achieving ≥80% of the total score. A differences-in-differences model was adopted to analyze the impact of the intervention, and multiple linear regression was used to explore the factors influencing the intervention effect. Results The baseline survey showed that 240 out of the 896 surveyed residents (26.79%) possessed climate change health literacy. For the 3 dimensions, the number of residents and the proportions with corresponding literacy in descending order were: basic health skills (521, 58.15%), healthy lifestyles (345, 38.50%), and basic health knowledge and concepts (44, 4.91%). After the intervention, the intervention group showed a 3.19% increase in the total health literacy score, a 3.55% increase in basic health knowledge and concepts, and a 4.24% increase in basic health skills (t=2.79, 2.77, and 2.47 respectively) (P<0.05). No significant change was observed in healthy lifestyle scores (t=0.70, P>0.05). Further analysis showed that awareness of the “dual carbon goals” and occupation were significantly associated with the intervention effect on overall health literacy (P<0.05). For basic health knowledge and concepts, occupation, history of chronic diseases, and awareness of the “dual carbon goals” had statistically significant effects on the intervention outcomes (P<0.05). Regarding basic health skills, awareness of the “dual carbon goals” significantly influenced the intervention effect (P<0.001). In terms of healthy lifestyles, gender, educational level, occupation, and awareness of climate change were significantly associated with the intervention effect (P<0.05). Conclusion The climate change-related health literacy among community residents in Shenzhen is in urgent need of improvement. Health interventions can effectively enhance residents' basic health knowledge and concepts, basic health skills, and overall literacy level. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the popularization of climate change health knowledge based on different population characteristics and further optimize intervention strategies, to comprehensively improve residents' health adaptation capacity to climate change.

Objective​ To evaluate the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis （RA）， with the aim of providing guidance for clinical treatment. Methods​ Based on the multicenter real-world cohort of the China Registry of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Rheumatism （CERTAIN） platform， patients with RA enrolled from 2019 to 2025 were included. Demographic data， disease assessment indicators， laboratory indices， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome patterns were collected to analyze the TCM syndromes and clinical characteristics of RA patients with fatigue. Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to identify factors associated with fatigue in RA. Results​ A total of 3 021 patients with RA were included， among whom 2 007 （66.43%） had fatigue. Compared with the non-fatigue group， the fatigue group was older and had a longer disease duration， with significantly higher scores for the 28-joint Disease Activity Score （DAS28）， swollen joint count （SJC）， tender joint count （TJC）， Health Assessment Questionnaire （HAQ）， pain visual analog scale （VAS）， and patient global assessment （PGA） （P<0.01）. Among TCM syndromes， fatigue was more common in patients with dampness-heat obstruction， cold-dampness obstruction， and liver-kidney deficiency syndromes （P<0.05）. Multivariate analysis revealed that morning stiffness duration exhibited a stepwise association with fatigue， while poor appetite， insomnia with frequent dreaming， restlessness， high HAQ scores， and high pain VAS scores were identified as risk factors. ConclusionFatigue is a prominent symptom in patients with RA and is more common among those with dampness-heat obstruction， cold-dampness obstruction， and liver-kidney deficiency syndromes. It is closely associated with disease activity， pain， functional limitation， sleep， and emotional status.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Qingre Huoxue prescription combined with methotrexate （MTX） and folic acid （FA） on homocysteine （Hcy） levels and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis （RA） complicated by hyperhomocysteinemia （HHcy）. MethodsOn the basis of a multicenter real-world cohort from the China Registry of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Rheumatism （CERTAIN） platform，408 patients with RA complicated by HHcy were selected and included in this study. Treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription was used as the exposure factor. According to whether Qingre Huoxue prescription was combined with MTX and FA，patients were assigned into an exposure group of 281 cases and a control group of 127 cases. Follow-ups were conducted every three months，with the primary outcome indicator being the achievement rate of target Hcy level. A generalized estimating equation model was adopted to analyze the dynamic changes in Hcy level under different medication regimens. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative achievement rate of target Hcy level in the two groups，and Cox regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictive factors affecting the achievement rate of target Hcy level. Changes in erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR），C-reactive protein （CRP），28-joint disease activity score （DAS 28），and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index （HAQ-DI） scores before and after the first combined treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe Hcy level in the exposure group showed a gradual decreasing trend over time，while the decrease in Hcy level was not significant in the control group. At the 12-month follow-up，the achievement rate of target Hcy level in the exposure group （124/281，44.13%） was higher than that in the control group （23/127，18.11%，P<0.01）. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription ［hazard ratio（HR）=3.013，95% confidence interval （CI） 2.188-4.149， P<0.001］， absence of comorbidities （HR=2.035， 95%CI 1.352-3.061， P<0.001）， and baseline Hcy <15 μmol·L^-1 （HR=1.810， 95%CI 1.390-2.357， P<0.001） were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels within 6 months. In contrast， higher PGA scores were associated with a reduced likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels （HR=0.991， 95% CI 0.986-0.997， P=0.003）. After treatment，the exposure group demonstrated reductions in ESR，CRP，and DAS 28 scores （P<0.05） and had lower ESR，CRP and DAS 28 scores than the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionEven after taking FA supplements，some RA patients undergoing MTX treatment still have high Hcy levels. When being used in conjunction with MTX and FA，Qingre Huoxue prescription can effectively lower the Hcy level and disease activity in RA patients with HHcy，outperforming Western treatment alone.

Based on the theory of "combined bi （痹） syndrome of the body and zang （脏）organs"， this paper elucidates the pathogenic transmission and treatment principles of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease （SSc-ILD）. For the pattern in which the disease transmits from the body to the zang organs， the underlying pathogenesis is blood deficiency and liver constraint with cold congealing in the collaterals. The treatment principle is to nourish the blood and warm the channels， diffuse the lung and defend against pathogenic factors， so as to interrupt the inward transmission of the disease. For the pattern in which the disease transmits from the zang organs to the body， the pathogenesis may involve lung deficiency with insecurity of the exterior， liver fire attacking the lung and scorching the collaterals， or latent pathogens of phlegm and blood stasis permeating outward. The treatment principle is to tonify the lung and secure the exterior， clear the liver and purge the lung， and resolve blood stasis and unblock the collaterals， so that when the zang organs are restored， the body can be nourished. For the pattern in which the body and zang organs are simultaneously affected， the pathogenesis lies in violent toxin pathogens spreading throughout the three jiao （焦） and damaging both the body and zang organs. The treatment principle is to cool the blood and resolve toxins， resolve blood stasis and unblock the collaterals， thereby eliminating pathogenic factors from both the interior and exterior. Emphasis is placed on simultaneous treatment of the body and zang organs and dynamic syndrome differentiation and treatment， providing a new approach to understanding the pathogenesis of SSc-ILD in traditional Chinese medicine and to its stratified treatment.

Aluminum adjuvants are widely used in the field of vaccines due to their ability to induce efficient and long-lasting immune responses and good safety profile. With the development of immunology, the requirements for adjuvants have gradually increased, and traditional aluminum adjuvants can no longer meet all the needs of application. The development of novel aluminum adjuvants has become a hot research topic in order to achieve good immunity-enhancing effects and induce specific types and strengths of immune responses. This review briefly introduces the mechanism of action and safety of aluminum adjuvants, with focus on the research progress of novel aluminum adjuvants in recent years, mainly including nano-aluminum adjuvants and composite aluminum adjuvants (aluminum adjuvants compounded with immunity-stimulating molecules or delivery carriers), and a prospect of their future research direction, aiming to provide some reference for the further development and clinical application of aluminum adjuvants.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between the occurrence of cardiovascular events in rheumatoid arthritis（RA） and traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） syndrome. MethodsThe cross-sectional study selected 6713 RA patients from 122 centres nationwide， in which general information such as name， gender， age， height， body weight， and course of disease were collected by completing a questionnaire； patients were classified into eight types of syndrome according to the information of their four examinations，i.e. wind-dampness obstruction syndrome， cold-dampness obstruction syndrome， dampness-heat obstruction syndrome， phlegm-stasis obstruction syndrome， stasis-blood obstructing collateral syndrome， qi-blood deficiency syndrome， liver-kidney insufficiency syndrome， and qi-yin deficiency syndrome. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular events， they were divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group， and the condition assessment data and laboratory examination indexes were recorded. The test of difference between groups was used to analyse the possible risk factors for the occurrence of RA cardiovascular events， and binary logistic regression was used to analyse the correlation between TCM syndromes and RA cardiovascular events. ResultsA total of 6713 RA patients were included， including 256 cases in occurrence group and 6457 in non-occurrence group. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of height， gender， insomnia， appetite， white blood cell（WBC）， hemoglobin（HGB）， platelets（PLT）， rheumatoid factor（RF）， anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline（CCP）， alanine aminotransferase（ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase（AST）， γ-glutamyl transpeptidase（GGT）， urea creatinine（CREA）， and glucose（GLU）（P＞0.05）. The TCM syndromes between groups showed significant statistic differences（P＜0.05）. Patients in occurrence group had longer disease duration， heavier body weight， and older age； more severe conditions such as disease activity（DAS-28）， number of painful joints（TJC）， number of swollen joints（SJC）， health questionnaire scores（HAQ）， visual analog scores（VAS）， restlessness， and fatigue； higher blood sedimentation rate（ESR）， low-density lipoprotein（LDL-C）， triglyceride（TG）， total cholesterol（TC）， D-Dimer， and lower high-density lipoprotein（HDL-C）（P＜0.05）. The distribution of syndrome types showed that dampness-heat obstruction syndrome accounted for the largest proportion of patients in both groups and was higher in RA cardiovascular events. Logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of RA cardiovascular events was strongly associated with dampness-heat obstruction syndrome［OR=5.937， 95%CI （4.434， 7.949）， P＜0.001］. ConclusionThe occurrence of RA cardiovascular events were associated with TCM syndromes， and the probability of cardiovascular events in the RA patients with dampness-heat obstruction syndrome was 5.937 times higher than patients with other TCM syndromes.

Currently, researchers have identified several mutated genes associated with hereditary eye diseases; however, effective therapeutic options remain scarce. The emergence of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)and its associated proteins(CRISPR-associated proteins, Cas)offers a promising approach for treating these diseases. CRISPR/Cas9 enables precise targeting and modification of specific genetic sequences, allowing for the correction of mutated genes, as well as knockout or replacement of pathogenic genes to achieve therapeutic effects. In ophthalmology, CRISPR/Cas9 has been applied to various hereditary eye disorders, including corneal dystrophy, congenital cataracts, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa. Additionally, significant progress has been made to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 to develop disease models. Therefore, it has great potential for clinical applications. However, challenges such as delivery efficiency and off-target effects remain. This review summarizes the mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9, its applications in genetic eye diseases and disease models, as well as the existing challenges, aiming to provide new insights for treatment.
