Visual information-processing disorder(VIPD)is a disorder of visual information-processing process caused by various factors, which is manifested by different degrees of reduction or loss of visuospatial ability, visual analytical ability, and visual-motor integration ability, which interferes with the normal visual cognitive and behavioral performance of individuals and causes many dysfunctions in daily life, schooling, and occupational settings. As a complex disorder, VIPD involves impaired visuospatial, analytical, and motor integration abilities, which seriously affects patients' lives, studies, and work. The causes of VIPD are diverse, including developmental abnormalities, craniocerebral trauma, ocular diseases and surgery,etc., and span multiple disciplines such as ophthalmology, pediatrics, neurology, rehabilitation, etc., which has become an urgent challenge in clinical diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation practice. Currently, despite the increasing international attention to this disorder, there are still many deficiencies in its diagnosis and treatment in China. Medical workers have limited knowledge of the disorder, diagnostic methods lack standardization, and rehabilitation methods vary. In view of this, this guideline is compiled on the basis of European and American experience, combined with local research and practice, and developed under the auspices of the Optometry Branch of China Association of Ethnic Medicine, International Association of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology Committee of International Association of Intelligent Medicine, Ophthalmic Imaging and Intelligent Medicine Branch of China Medical Education Association, Optometry Association of Fujian Province, with the aim of providing clinicians with comprehensive, systematic, and operational guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of VIPD and its rehabilitation, upgrading the level of diagnosis and treatment, and promoting multidisciplinary collaboration, so as to improve the patients' visual function and quality of life.

In this study, we explored the pharmacological effects of Siwu Decoction in treating premature ovarian insufficiency(POI) and its molecular mechanism based on the mitophagy pathway modulated and mediated by estrogen receptor(ER) subtypes. Female Balb/c mice were divided into a control group, model group, as well as high-dose and low-dose groups of Siwu Decoction. The POI mice model was constructed by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin. The high-dose and low-dose groups of Siwu Decoction were administered intragastrically with Siwu Decoction each day for 14 days. During this period, we monitored the estrous cycle and body weight of the mice and calculated the ovarian index. The morphology of the ovaries was detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, and the number of primordial follicles was counted. The apoptosis of the ovarian tissue was detected by TUNEL staining. The expression levels of anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH), apoptosis-associated and mitophagy-associated proteins, ER subtypes, and the expression levels of key proteins of its mediated molecular pathways were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. KGN cells were divided into a control group, model group, Siwu Decoction group, and gene silencing group. The apoptosis model was induced by H_2O_2, and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1(PINK1) gene silencing was induced by siRNA transfection. The Siwu Decoction group and gene silencing group were added to the medium containing Siwu Decoction. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. Cell senescence was detected by senescence-associated-β-galactosidase. The expression levels of apoptosis-associated and mitophagy-associated proteins were detected by Western blot. The results of in vivo experiments showed that compared with the model group, the mice in the high-dose and low-dose groups of Siwu Decoction significantly recovered the rhythm of the estrous cycle, and the levels of ovarian index, number of primordial follicles, and expression of AMH, representative indexes of ovarian function, were significantly higher, suggesting that the level of ovarian function was significantly improved. The expression levels of the apoptosis-related proteins, cytochrome C(Cyt C), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3(caspase 3), B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)-associated X(Bax), and mitophagy-associated indicator(Beclin 1) were significantly decreased, and the expression levels of Bcl-2 was significantly elevated. The positive area of TUNEL was significantly reduced, suggesting that the apoptosis level of the ovaries was significantly reduced. The expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and sequestosome 1(p62) were significantly reduced, suggesting that the level of ovarian mitophagy was significantly down-regulated. The expression levels of ERα and ERβ were significantly elevated, and the ratio of ERα/ERβ was significantly reduced. The expression levels of key proteins in the pathway, phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K) and protein kinase B(Akt), were significantly reduced, suggesting that the regulation of ER subtypes and the mediation of PI3K/Akt pathway were the key mechanisms. In vitro experiments showed that compared with the model group, the proportion of senescent cells in the Siwu Decoction group was significantly reduced. Cyt C, caspase 3, Beclin 1, Parkin, and p62 were significantly reduced, which was in line with in vivo experimental results. The proportion of senescent cells and the expression level of the above proteins were further significantly reduced after PINK1 silencing. It can be seen that Siwu Decoction can regulate the expression level and proportion of ER subtypes in KGN cells, then mediate the PI3K/Akt pathway to inhibit excessive mitophagy and apoptosis, and exert therapeutic effects of POI.

Metabonomics and proteomics were employed to investigate the mechanism of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules in treating polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance(PCOS-IR). The disease model was established by feeding a high-fat diet and gavage of letrozole solution and it was then treated with different doses of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules. The therapeutic effect of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules was evaluated based on the body mass, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity index, serum levels of adipokines, and histopathological changes of rats. Metabolomics and proteomics were employed to find the action pathways of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules. The results showed that Yuzhi Zhixue Granules reduced the body mass, improved the insulin sensitivity and aromatase activity, improved the levels of leptin, adiponectin and other adipokines, and alleviated insulin resistance, histopathological changes, and metabolic disorders in PCOS-IR rats. Metabolomics results revealed 14 metabolites with altered levels in the ovarian tissue, which were closely related to glutathione metabolism and pyruvate metabolism. Proteomics results showed that the therapeutic effect of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules was mainly related to the adipokine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/Akt), forkhead box protein O(FoxO), and mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathways. Western blot results showed that compared with the model group, Yuzhi Zhixue Granules treatment decreased the p-AMPK/AMPK and p-FoxO1/FoxO1 levels, increased the p-mTOR/mTOR level, and up-regulated the expression level of recombinant glucose transporter 4(GLUT4). Yuzhi Zhixue Granules can balance amino acid metabolism and pyruvate metabolism by regulating the AMPK/mTOR/FoxO/GLUT pathway to maintain the homeostasis of the ovarian environment and alleviate insulin resistance, thus treating PCOS-IR.

The prevalence of adolescent depressive symptoms has been rising, and maternal depression is a key predictor. This review synthesizes evidence on mechanisms of influence and on intervention research. The intergenerational transmission of risk from maternal depression appears more pronounced than that associated with paternal depression. At the biological level, genetic susceptibility and neurodevelopmental alterations underpin intergenerational transmission; at the social level, negative parenting practices and stressful family environments create a vicious cycle; at the psychological level, deficits in emotion regulation and insecure attachment amplify vulnerability to depression. Family-based interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and family systems therapy, can mitigate intergenerational transmission. However, more longitudinal research is needed, and future work may integrate digital technologies to develop structured intervention protocols.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescent suicidal ideation, and to examine the chain mediating roles of childhood trauma and ineffectiveness. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was administered by school psychologists to 4 157 mother-adolescent pairs from middle schools in Shanghai and Henan, China. Measures included the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Children's Depression Inventory. Using Bootstrap method to examine the chain mediating effect of childhood trauma and ineffectiveness on the relationship between maternal depression symptoms and adolescent suicidal ideation. RESULTS: The prevalence of maternal depressive symptoms was 17.68% (735/4 157); among adolescents, the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 15.49% (644/4 157), and suicidal ideation was 28.19% (1 172/4 157). Adolescent depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation were positively correlated with maternal depressive symptoms, childhood trauma, and ineffectiveness (all P<0.01). Childhood trauma significantly mediated the association between maternal and adolescent depressive symptoms (95%CI: 0.046 9-0.077 2). The chain mediation of childhood trauma and ineffectiveness in the association between maternal depressive symptoms and adolescent suicidal ideation was also significant (95%CI: 0.000 7-0.001 3). CONCLUSIONS Higher maternal depressive symptom levels are associated with a greater likelihood of adolescents' exposure to childhood trauma, which increases adolescents' ineffectiveness and, in turn, is associated with suicidal ideation. This chain effect has important implications for social interventions targeting adolescent depression.

Biomolecular condensates are formed through phase separation of biomacromolecules such as proteins and RNAs. These condensates exhibit liquid-like properties that can futher transition into more stable material states. They form complex internal structures via multivalent weak interactions, enabling precise spatiotemporal regulations. However, the use of inconsistent and non-standardized terminology has become increasingly problematic, hindering academic exchange and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the terminology related to biomolecular condensates in order to clarify concepts, promote interdisciplinary cooperation, enhance research efficiency, and support the healthy development of this field.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Saussurea involucrata injection (SII) in alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to explore the mechanism of action of SII in alleviating RA through the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappaBp65 (NF-κBp65) pathway-mediated M1 macrophage polarization.Methods:In vivo experiments were conducted using a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model. After successful modeling, the CIA rats were randomly assigned into five groups ( n=10 per group): CIA control group, MTX group, low-dose SII (L-SII) group, medium-dose SII (M-SII) group, and high-dose SII (H-SII) group. The efficacy of SII in alleviating RA was evaluated using arthritis index scores, histopathology, and ELISA to measure serum levels of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Subsequently, Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and CD86 proteins in synovial tissue. In vitro experiments involved first isolating and inducing rat bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Then, BMDMs were polarized toward the M1 phenotype using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) combined with interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Concurrently, cells were treated with SII and the TLR4 inhibitor TAK242. Subsequently, ELISA was used to detect NO, IL-1β, TNF-α levels in the cell culture supernatant via ELISA. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-α genes in each group of cells. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of iNOS, CD86, TLR4, myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 proteins in the cells. Data analysis between multiple groups was performed using one-way analysis of variance, and between pairs using LSD- t-tests. Results:In vivo experimental results showed that compared with the CIA group(7.90 ± 0.70), MTX and SII both improved the pathological symptoms of rats and reduced the ankle joint pathological score [MTX (4.40 ± 0.92), L-SII (7.00 ± 0.89), M-SII (5.10 ± 1.30), H-SII (4.90 ± 0.94), t=33.86, P<0.001; t=9.10, P<0.001; t=2.38, P=0.029; t=5.69, P<0.001; t=7.66, P<0.001], while downregulating serum levels of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in serum, as well as iNOS [ t=30.01, P<0.001; t=6.17, P=0.003; t=10.86, P<0.001; t=28.95, P<0.001; t=19.03, P<0.001] and CD86 [ t=65.61, P<0.001; t=8.76, P<0.001; t=13.18, P<0.001; t=13.22, P<0.001; t=18.91, P<0.001] expression. In vitro experimental results showed that compared with BMDMs treated with LPS and IFN-γ, SII and TAK242 treatment reduced the levels of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the supernatant and decreased the expression of IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-α genes. Additionally, SII and TAK242 treatment downregulated the expression of iNOS and CD86 proteins in cells, and simultaneously downregulated TLR4, MYD88, and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 expression ( t=35.84, P<0.001; t=15.69, P<0.001; t=21.99, P<0.001; t=23.64, P<0.001; t=22.50, P<0.001). Additionally, compared with the TAK242 group alone, TAK242 + H-SII showed no significant differences in the modulation of M1 macrophage polarization and TLR4/NF-κBp65 pathway-related indicators. Conclusion:SII exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-RA effects by inhibiting TLR4/NF-κBp65-mediated M1 macrophage polarization.

Objective:To examine the near-complete genomic analysis of norovirus (NoV) subtype GⅡ.17 [P17] outbreaks in Beijing Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024.Methods:Data and specimens related to outbreaks of the NoV aggregation in Beijing′s Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were collected. The NoV was identified using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Specimens with positive nucleic acid were amplified by standard PCR, whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis. Amino acid site variations were compared.Results:In Chaoyang District, from 2014 to 2024, a total of 637 aggregated outbreaks caused by the NoV infection were reported, of which 584 were successfully typed. The epidemic caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype accounted for 8.79% (56/637), which was the dominant epidemic gene subtype in 2014-2015, sporadic in 2016-2019, reappeared in 2022, and significantly increased in 2024 (27.27%, 24/88). Outbreaks caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype occurred mainly from October to December, with the main sites of occurrence in primary schools and kindergartens. This study yielded 53 near-complete genome sequences of the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype from 46 incidents in Chaoyang District. The GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype sequences of Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were segmented into three subgroups on the evolutionary tree, with sequences from 2014 to 2019, 2022 to April 2024, and May to December 2024 clustered into the d, e, and b subgroups, respectively. In the VP1 region′s P2 area, particularly at the HBGA binding site, subgroups b and e exhibited mutations in 22 and two sites, while subgroups b and e showed mutations in four and one sites, predominantly in the RdRp region.Conclusion:The outbreak caused by the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 continues, with a significant increase in 2024, and it becomes the dominant gene subtype from October to December. The sequence formation of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from January to April 2022 and from May to December 2024 shows two different evolutions, with specific mutation sites, requiring continuous monitoring of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the frailty status of elderly patients with acquired immune deficiency syn-drome(AIDS)and opportunistic infection,and to analyze the associated risk factors.METHODS A convenience sampling method was used to survey 210 elderly patients with AIDS and opportunistic infection in Guangzhou from May 2024 to Apr.2025.General information questionnaires,FRAIL scale,Nutritional Risk Screening 2002,Athens Insomnia Scale and objective biological indicators were utilized to investigate the incidence of frailty.Logis-tic regression analysis was employed to identify the risk factors for frailty in elderly patients with AIDS and oppor-tunistic infection.RESULTS Among the 210 elderly patients with AIDS and opportunistic infection,40(19.05％)were frail,including 20(15.62％)patients aged＜60 years and 20(24.39％)≥60 years.Advanced age(OR=1.111,95％CI:1.033-1.194,P=0.004),body mass index(BMI)≥ 24.0 kg/m2(OR=4.329,95％CI:1.008-18.1585,P=0.049),hemoglobin level(OR=1.037,95％CI:1.009-1.065,P=0.009)and CD4+T lymphocyte count＜200(OR=10.792,95％CI:1.358-85.765,P=0.024)were identified as risk factors for frailty.Regular exercise(OR=0.108,95％CI:0.032-0.362,P＜0.001)was found to be a protective factor.CONCLUSIONS Elderly patients with AIDS and opportunistic infection experience early onset and high inci-dence of frailty,influenced by multiple factors.Early intervention,enhanced nutrition and engaging in regular ex-ercise can reduce the occurrence of frailty.
