Objective To investigate the correlation between gut microbiota characteristics and immunotherapy efficacy in patients with advanced microsatellite stable (MSS) advanced gastrointestinal tumors. Methods Thirty patients with advanced MSS gastrointestinal tumors, including fourteen cases of gastric cancer and sixteen cases of colorectal cancer, who were admitted from November 1, 2022, to July 31, 2025 were enrolled. All patients underwent gut microbiota testing and received corresponding interventions on the basis of the results, followed by treatment with antiangiogenic agents combined with immunotherapy. Some patients additionally received probiotics or fecal microbiota transplantation. The primary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess potential prognostic factors. Results Among the thirty patients, no complete response was observed. Two cases of partial response (PR), twelve cases of stable disease, and sixteen cases of progressive disease were recorded. The ORR was 6.7%, and the DCR was 46.7%. The median PFS was 6.4 months, and the median OS was 8.3 months. Both PR patients were classified as having a medium risk of gut microbiota dysbiosis and exhibited a Bacteroides-dominated enterotype. Multivariate analysis indicated that tumor type, liver metastasis, and bone metastasis were potential prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Conclusion Patients with a medium risk of gut dysbiosis may exhibit a relatively favorable response to immunotherapy, suggesting that gut microbiota status could serve as a potential biomarker for predicting treatment efficacy in advanced MSS gastrointestinal tumors.

Abstract
To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of different classes of antibacterial agents in hospitalized adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).METHODS PubMed, Embase,the Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,and Wanfang data were searched from inception to January 1,2026,to identify randomized controlled trials that evaluated different classes of antibacterial agents in hospitalized adults with CAP.After screening the literature, extracting the data, and evaluating the quality of the literature, a network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0.RESULTS A total of 25 studies were included,involving 7 863 patients. In terms of efficacy,compared with carbapenems,penicillins,cephalosporins,macrolides,and pleuromutilins were associated with significantly higher treatment failure rates ( P <0.05),carbapenems and traditional tetracyclines were ranked as the top two by the surface under the cumulative ranking curve area (SUCRA). No statistically significant differences were observed in mortality among the interventions ( P >0.05),carbapenems and other quinolones were ranked as the top two by SUCRA. In terms of safety,no statistically significant differences were observed among the interventions in the incidence of adverse events or discontinuation rates ( P >0.05);traditional tetracyclines and novel tetracyclines were ranked as the top two by SUCRA for the incidence of adverse events,while novel tetracyclines and pleuromutilins were ranked as the top two by SUCRA for discontinuation rates.CONCLUSIONS Carbapenems significantly reduced the treatment failure rate in hospitalized adults with CAP. The safety profiles of all antibacterial agents were comparable, with novel tetracyclines showing a more favorable safety profile.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which is essentially primary liver cancer,is closely related to CD8+T cell immune infiltration and immune suppression.We constructed a CD8+T cells related risk score model to pre-dict the prognosis of HCC patients and provided therapeutic guidance based on the risk score.Using integrated bulk RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)and single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)datasets,we identified stable CD8+T cell signatures.Based on these signatures,a 3-gene risk score model,comprised of KLRB1,RGS2,and TN-FRSF1B was constructed.The risk score model was well validated through an independent external validation co-hort.We divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the risk score and compared the differ-ences in immune microenvironment between these two groups.Compared with low-risk patients,high-risk patients have higher M2-type macrophage content(P<0.0001)and lower CD8+T cells infiltration(P<0.0001).High-risk patients predict worse response to immunotherapy treatment than low-risk patients(P<0.01).Drug sensitivity a-nalysis shows that PI3K-β inhibitor AZD6482 and TGFβRII inhibitor SB505124 may be suitable therapies for high-risk patients,while the IGF-1R inhibitor BMS-754807 or the novel pyrimidine-based anti-tumor metabolic drug Gemcitabine could be potential therapeutic choices for low-risk patients.Moreover,expression of these 3-gene mod-el was verified by immunohistochemistry.In summary,the establishment and validation of a CD8+T cell-derived risk model can more accurately predict the prognosis of HCC patients and guide the construction of personalized treatment plans.

Objective::To systematically study the mechanisms by which Yinzhihuang (YZH), a traditional Chinese medicine, ameliorates intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a liver disorder associated with significant maternal and fetal complications.Methods::This experimental study was conducted from January 2024 to August 2024, utilizing data from public databases (Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology, GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, DisGeNET, Proteome Xchange) alongside in vitro cell culture experiments. Network pharmacology identified active components of YZH and potential therapeutic targets for ICP. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry characterized YZH oral liquid, and its effective doses were evaluated in taurocholic acid (TCA)-induced HTR-8/SVneo cells, an in vitro ICP model. ICP-related targets were gathered from multiple databases, and hub genes were selected through bioinformatics and previously identified differentially expressed proteins. Functional annotation and pathway enrichment analyses were conducted, with validation in TCA-induced cells treated with various YZH concentrations (0.1%–5.0%) compared to controls. Molecular docking confirmed predicted interactions.Results::Using network pharmacology, 104 active compounds and 241 potential targets of YZH were identified. Integration of multiple databases yielded 1897 YZH-related therapeutic targets and 3783 ICP-associated genes. Proteomic analysis identified 227 differentially expressed proteins, from which 10 hub genes were selected; among these, APOA2, COL1A1, and ADIPOQ were significantly upregulated in ICP samples. UPLC-ESI-MS/MS detected 2022 compounds, predominantly flavonoids (25.07%, 507/2022) and phenolic acids (14.44%, 292/2022). Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding affinities between several active compounds and the hub genes. In TCA-induced HTR-8/SVneo cells, 0.5% YZH treatment significantly enhanced cell viability and modulated hub gene expression, supporting a potential multi-target mechanism.Conclusion::This study systematically explored the active components and potential targets of YZH in ICP through network pharmacology, proteomics, and in vitro validation. The findings suggest that YZH may act via the PPAR signaling pathway by modulating genes such as PPARA, PPARG, ADIPOQ, and APOA2.
