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 characteristics of changes in pain-anxiety-depression-fatigue symptom clusters and their possible associated factors in adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)during early chemotherapy.Methods A prospective longitudinal study was conducted from Nov 2019 to Oct 2021,enrolling newly diagnosed adolescent ALL patients from 5 tertiary or pediatric specialty hospitals in Shanghai,Zhejiang Province,Sichuan Province,Anhui Province and Guangdong Province.Patient-reported pain,anxiety,depression,and fatigue were collected at five time points within the first nine weeks of chemotherapy using the PROMIS Pediatric-25 instrument.Latent profile analysis(LPA)and latent transition analysis(LTA)were applied to explore the latent classes of symptom clusters,their transition probabilities over time,and possible risk or protective factors associated with class membership.Results A total of 134 ALL cases were enrolled,and symptom clusters at all the 5 time points(T1-T5)were consistently classified into three groups of mild,moderate and severe symptoms.The severe symptoms group accounted for the largest proportion at each time point(54.5%,59.7%,66.4%,49.3%,and 47.0%,respectively),while the mild and moderate symptoms groups showed an initial decline followed by an increase.Among participants,40.2%maintained the same symptom status,and 77.4%experienced at least one episode of severe symptom status during the trajectory.Religious affiliation(T5)and family monthly income>5 000 Yuan(T2,T4 and T5)served as protective factors against severe symptoms.Higher baseline fatigue(T1)was associated with membership in the severe symptoms group at subsequent time points.Conclusion Pain-anxiety-depression-fatigue symptoms in adolescents with ALL during early chemotherapy can be categorized into mild,moderate and severe symptoms with dynamic transitions over time.Higher baseline fatigue was associated with increased risk of severe symptoms,whereas higher family income and religious affiliation appeared protective effects.

Objective:This study employs a combination of single-cell sequencing and Mendelian randomization to explore the genetic associations and molecular mechanisms of Eomes in RCC.Methods:In this study,single-cell transcriptomic data from RCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were extracted from the GEO database.The data were analyzed using R language and various packages such as Seurat,limma,and CellChat for cell cluster annotation,intercellular communication analysis,and differential expression analysis.Additionally,eQTL data related to differentially expressed genes were retrieved from the GWAS database as exposure variables,with RCC used as the outcome variable in Mendelian randomization analysis to identify the role of Eomes in RCC.Finally,GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses were conducted to explore the potential molecular mechanisms of Eomes.Results:Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that B cells play a significant role in the heterogeneity of RCC.Mendelian randomization analysis indicated that Eomes is an important risk factor for RCC(P＜0.05).Furthermore,seven highly correlated specific SNPs were identified,including rs 17021298,rs2247056,rs2617170,rs3806624,rs55908509,rs6590334,and rs9420589.GO and KEGG enrichment analyses suggest that Eomes may be involved in early cell fate determination in renal cell carcinoma and participate in the regulation of Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation,HPV infection,and the Notch signaling pathway.Conclusions:This study is the first to combine single-cell sequencing and Mendelian randomization analysis in RCC,confirming a strong positive causal relationship between Eomes and RCC(OR＞1).Our findings offer new insights into the pathogenesis of RCC,suggesting that Eomes could serve as a novel target for early diagnosis and personalized treatment of RCC.

Aim To explore the protective effect of icariin on the damage of tight junctional function of Sertoli cells in naturally aging mice and the related mechanism.Methods 15-month-old C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into three groups:aging model group,low-dose and high-dose icariin treatment group(5 and 20 mg·kg-1).Another 1-month-old C57BL/6J male mice were considered as adult control group(n=10).The mice in adult control group and aging model group were given the vehicle(0.5％sodi-um carboxymethyl cellulose solution)by intragastric administration,while the mice in icariin-treated groups were given different concentrations of icariin,respec-tively.After continuous administration of icariin for three months,the testes and epididymis were immedi-ately removed,weighed,and the organ index was calcu-lated.Sperm viability and sperm concentration in epi-didymis were measured.The morphological changes of testes were observed by HE staining.The ultrastructur-al changes of tight junctions of Sertoli cells were ob-served by transmission electron microscopy.The ex-pression levels of tight junction-related proteins ZO-1,Occludin,and Claudin11 of testicular Sertoli cells were detected by Western blot.The expression and localiza-tion of ZO-1,Occludin,Raptor,Rictor,p-70S6K,and p-rps6 were detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the aging model group,icariin signifi-cantly increased testicular weight and its index,and ep-ididymal index,improved sperm viability and increased sperm concentration in naturally aging mice.In addi-tion,icariin improved the degeneration of testicular morphology and the damage of ultrastructure of Sertoli cell tight junction with aging.Furthermore,Western blot results showed that icariin up-regulated the expres-sion of ZO-1 and Occludin,but had no significant effect on the expression of Claudin 11.Immunofluorescence assay showed that icariin up-regulated the expression of Rictor,and down-regulated the expression of p-70S6K,p-rps6 and Raptor.Conclusions Icariin improves the tight junction damage of Sertoli cells in naturally aging mice,and its mechanism may be related to restoring the balance between mTORC1 and mTORC2.

Aim To investigate the regulatory mecha-nisms of donepezil on the expression and enzymatic ac-tivity of cytochrome P450 3A4(CYP3A4),elucidate the synergistic impact of hypoxia on CYP3A4 function,and reveal its potential association with drug-induced cardiotoxicity,particularly QT interval prolongation.Methods Western blot,co-immunoprecipitation,and gene knockdown techniques were employed to evaluate the effects of donepezil and hypoxia on CYP3A4 pro-tein expression.CYP3A4 enzymatic activity was as-sessed using an in vitro incubation system with rat liver microsomes combined with high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and the half-maximal inhib-itory concentration(IC50)was determined.Results Donepezil(10 μmol·L-1)and hypoxia reduced CYP3A4 protein expression to 31.75％and 45.90％of the control levels,respectively.Both interventions activated the gp78-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome path-way,significantly increasing CYP3A4 ubiquitination levels by 2.1-fold compared to the control group,thereby promoting proteasomal degradation.Donepezil inhibited CYP3A4 enzyme activity with an IC50 of 83.4μmol·L-1,and hypoxia synergistically enhanced this inhibitory effect,reducing the IC50 to 20.79 μmol·L-1.Conclusion Donepezil downregulates CYP3A4 function through dual mechanisms involving ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation and direct enzymatic inhibition.Hypoxia potentiates this effect,leading to impaired metabolism of CYP3A4 substrate drugs,ele-vated plasma drug concentrations(1.6-2.3-fold in-crease compared to normal metabolic conditions),and an increased risk of QT interval prolongation and other forms of cardiotoxicity.

Aim To investigate the effect of Shenqi Dihuang decoction(SQDH)on henoch-schonlein pur-pura nephritis(HSPN)rats by regulating AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 mediated ferroptosis and the possible mech-anism.Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divid-ed into a control group(Control),HSPN group,SQDH low-dose group(SQDH-L,5.4 g·kg-1),SQDH high-dose group(SQDH-H,21.6 g·kg-1),and SQDH high-dose+AMPK inhibitor group(SQDH-H+CC,20 mg·kg-1),with six rats in each group.Except for the control group,all other groups of rats were injected intraperitoneally with ovalbumin and complete Freund's adjuvant to establish HSPN rat models.After the successful construction of the model,each group of rats was orally administered with the cor-responding dosage or physiological saline once a day for five weeks.HE staining was used to observe the his-topathological changes in renal tissues;immunohisto-chemistry(IHC)was employed to detect the deposition of IgA and IgG in renal tissues;serum biochemical pa-rameters of renal function and urinary protein levels were measured;commercial assay kits were utilized to determine oxidative stress markers and Fe2+levels in renal tissues;Western blot analysis was performed to assess ferroptosis-related proteins and the protein ex-pression of the AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway in renal tissues.Results Compared with the control group,the HSPN group showed significant pathological damage in kidney tissue,with significantly increased scores,increased deposition of IgA and IgG in kidney tissue,decreased serum total protein(TP)and albu-min(ALB),and average increases in serum creatinine(Cre),urea nitrogen(BUN),and urinary protein levels(P＜0.05).The levels of MDA,ROS,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein expression in the kidney tissue sig-nificantly increased,while SOD activity,SLC7A11,GPX4,p-AMPK/AMPK,Sirt1,and Nrf2 protein ex-pression significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Com-pared with the HSPN group,the pathological damage to renal tissue was reduced,IgA and IgG deposition in renal tissue decreased,TP and ALB decreased,Cre,BUN,and urinary protein levels were all reduced(P＜0.05),and the levels of MDA,ROS,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein expression in renal tissue were signifi-cantly reduced in each dose group of SQDH rats.SOD activity,SLC7A11,GPX4,p-AMPK/AMPK,Sirt1,and Nrf2 protein expression significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the SQDH-H group,the AMPK inhibitor CC could inhibit the AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway induced ferroptosis and reverse the protective effect of SQDH on renal injury in HSPN rats.Conclusions SQDH can improve renal injury in HSPN rats,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to in-hibit ferroptosis.
