AIM:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of knowledge-attitude-practice in myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents in Ningbo City, thereby providing a scientific basis for formulating targeted prevention strategies.METHODS: Children and adolescents aged 6-12 years old were selected from the medical-school collaborative myopia prevention network in Ningbo City between August 2024 and May 2025 using stratified cluster sampling. Information on myopia prevention knowledge(15 items)and practice(9 items)was collected through questionnaire surveys. Logistic regression models were used to analyze factors influencing myopia occurrence in children and adolescents.RESULTS: A total of 664 children and adolescents aged 6-12 years were enrolled in this study. Participants were divided by age into three groups: 6-7 years old(n=221), 8-9 years old(n=221), and 10-12 years old(n=222). Of the 664 questionnaires distributed, 637 valid questionnaires were returned(201 from the 6-7 age group, 235 from the 8-9 age group, and 201 from the 10-12 age group), yielding an effective response rate of 95.9%. Based on myopia screening results, the non-myopic group comprised 203 participants(31.9%), including 100 males and 103 females, with a mean age of 8.82±1.98 years old. The myopic group comprised 434 participants(68.1%), including 213 males and 221 females, with a mean age of 9.10±1.95 years old. The myopia prevalence rates in the 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12 age groups were 37.8%(76/201), 71.9%(169/235), and 94.0%(189/201), respectively(P<0.001). Regarding the knowledge and practice of myopia prevention, the overall awareness rate in the non-myopic group(59.7%±9.7%)was significantly higher than that in the myopic group(48.7%±8.5%; P<0.001). Additionally, the non-myopic group scored higher on the key practice of “regular eye examinations”(4.27±0.96)compared to the myopic group(4.10±1.05; P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age was the primary risk factor for myopia occurrence.CONCLUSION: Age is the dominant factor in the onset of myopia, and there is a phenomenon of “knowledge-practice gap”; the traditional health education model has limitations, and a precise prevention and control system based on developmental patterns should be established.

Objective Through reviewing the herbs,medical books and classic prescriptions of the past dynasties,the herbal examination of Gypsum fibrosum and its analogs was carried out to clarify the relationship between them.The qualitative analysis was carried out by single-point Raman,infrared,near infrared and XRD techniques,the quantitative analysis of the main components was carried out by EDTA titration and Raman surface scanning technique,the elemental analysis was carried out by ICP-OES,and the differences between gypsum and argillite were observed by scanning electron microscope.Results Gypsum fibrosum is mixed with marble,feldspar,north cold-water stone,south cold-water stone and xuanjing stone and so on.Before the Ming Dynasty,there was no differentiation between soft and anhydrite,and after the Ming Dynasty,it was clear that gypsum was soft gypsum and feldspar was anhydrite;in modern times,marble is also made to be gypsum for medicinal use;Feldspar is anhydrite and is no longer made to be used for medicinal use,north cold-water stone is red gypsum,and south cold-water stone is calcite.Gypsum,south coldwater stone is calcite.The peaks of argillite appeared to be buried in the Raman spectrum compared with Gypsum fibrosum,and the original profiles of both infrared and near-infrared were basically the same,and the near-infrared model established by the preprocessing method of the first-order derivatives plus vector normalization(5-point smoothing)could effectively differentiate between Gypsum fibrosum and its analogues,but it could not differentiate between argillite and Gypsum fibrosum with high content.XRD showed that there are differences in the relative intensities of the peaks of argillite and Gypsum fibrosum,and some XRD shows that there are differences in the relative intensities of the peaks of basalt and Gypsum fibrosum,and some of the peaks of basalt are characterized by impurities such as quartz,and the contents of trace elements such as Fe,Mn,Cr,Pb,Hg and As are higher in basalt.The peak shapes of XRD,Raman spectra,infrared spectra and near-infrared spectra of Gypsum fibrosum and calcined gypsum are closer but can still be distinguished,and the Ca content of calcined gypsum is higher than that of gypsum.Commercially available south chrysocolla and stalactite source are carbonate minerals calcite calcite.Spectral detection can not be distinguished,the trace element content is basically the same,but the traits are different.North chrysocolla(red gypsum)is higher than the Fe content of commercially available white gypsum.Raman surface scanning not only can be a qualitative and quantitative determination of minerals such as gypsum and other minerals,and the results of the content of the titration is basically similar,but also to determine the state of Gypsum fibrosum and calcined gypsum calcined water loss status and the degree of calcined gypsum.The results of Raman surface scanning are similar to the titration results.Conclusion This study can provide a scientific basis for the traceability of Gypsum fibrosum,and can better guide the clinical use of medicine and the rational use of resources.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of CGG repeat numbers in the FMR1 gene among reproductive-age women in China, providing data reference for carrier screening and genetic counseling of Fragile X syndrome. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited 16 610 reproductive-age women from 12 medical institutions between July 2022 and October 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene was determined using the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction (TP-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis technology. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the prevalence and distribution of CGG repeat expansions. Results:Among 16 610 women of childbearing age, 5 684 (34.220%) women had the same number of CGG repeats in the two alleles of FMR1 gene, and 10 926 (65.780%) women had different numbers of repeats in the two alleles. Among the 33 220 FMR1 alleles in 16 610 women of reproductive age, the most common CGG repeat numbers were 29 [48.645% (16 160/33 220)] and 30 [26.276% (8 729/33 220)], while the most frequent CGG genotype was CGG 29/29 [24.726% (4 107/16 610)]. The CGG repeat numbers of FMR1 gene were normal in 16 498 women (99.326%). Among the 112 women (0.674%) with CGG repeat abnormities, 96 (0.578%) women were classified as intermediate carriers, 15 (0.090%) as premutation carriers, and 1 (0.006%) as a full mutation carrier, whose CGG genotype was (36, >200). Conclusion:In the general reproductive-age female population in China, the normal CGG repeat numbers of the FMR1 gene account for 99.326%, while the intermediate carrier rate is 0.578%, and the combined carrier rate of the premutation and full mutation types is 0.096%.

This case report describes the diagnostic and therapeutic management of a 67-year-old fe-male with a 40-year history of Sj?gren disease(SjD)who was hospitalized for evaluation of recurrent fever lasting over one month.The patient's initial diagnosis of SjD was established four decades earlier based on clinical manifestations,serological findings,and evidence of glandular damage.Her clinical presenta-tion included recurrent parotid gland enlargement accompanied by sicca symptoms,notably persistent xerostomia and xerophthalmia,followed by progressive dental caries.Serological studies demonstrated positivity for antinuclear antibodies,anti-SSA/Ro,and anti-α-fodrin antibodies.Objective assessments confirmed significant ocular involvement(Schirmer's test≤5 mm/5 min)and pulmonary interstitial changes on chest CT,consistent with the 2016 American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism(ACR/EULAR)classification criteria for SjD.The patient's condition remained sta-ble under low-dose corticosteroids and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs(DMARDs)until the re-cent onset of prolonged fever,necessitating evaluation for fever of unknown origin.Differential diagnoses considered disease flare,infection,and malignancy.The European Sj?gren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index(ESSDAI)score was 5 points,indicating moderate systemic disease activity.Initial laboratory in-vestigations revealed no evidence of infection,and empirical anti-infective therapy proved ineffective.No-tably,despite the absence of lymphadenopathy,laboratory findings including borderline positive IgM λ M-protein,elevated lactate dehydrogenase,hyperferritinemia,and increased β2-microglobulin levels raised suspicion for lymphoproliferative disorders,given the established association between SjD and lymphoma.Bone marrow aspiration showed no significant abnormalities,but PET/CT imaging detected hypermetabolic lesions in the left breast and right distal femur,suggesting potential malignancy.Subse-quent histopathological examination of the breast lesion confirmed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL),specifically diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)of the germinal center B-cell(GCB)subtype.Treatment with R-CHOP chemotherapy(rituximab,cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine,and prednisone)induced complete metabolic remission after three cycles.However,she subsequently developed treatment-related complications,including myelosuppression and pulmonary infection.This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for atypical site involvement in SjD patients,particularly when lymphoma risk factors are present.Comprehensive differential diagnosis should include lymphoma and other malignancies,and the diagnostic value of PET/CT and histopatholog-ical examination in disease evaluation is emphasized.SjD complicated by breast lymphoma is exceptional-ly rare,and its pathogenesis may involve lymphocytic infiltration,abnormal activation of lymphocytes,formation of ectopic germinal centers in the breast,and eventual malignant transformation.These mecha-nisms require further investigation through clinical and basic research studies.

Objective To evaluate the role of remimazolam in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced M1 microglial polarization and its relationship with Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4).Methods BV2 mi-croglia cells were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=20):control group,LPS group(1 μg/ml for 24 h),remimazolam+LPS group(remimazolam group,pretreated with 100 μg/ml remimazolam for 20 min followed by LPS),remimazolam+LPS+Neoseptin-3 group(agonist group,50 pmol Neoseptin-3 dissolved in DMSO),and remimazolam+LPS+DMSO group(agonist control group).The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatant were detected by ELISA.The expres-sion of M1 microglia markers,inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)and TLR4 at mRNA.Immu-nofluorescence staining was employed to identify the location of iNOS.Results When compared to the control group,the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatant and the expression of iNOS[(14.757±0.986)％vs(1.561±0.08)％]and TLR4 at mRNA and protein levels were sig-nificantly higher in the other four groups(P＜0.05).Remimazolam treatment reversed the increa-ses of the TNF-α and IL-1β contents in the supernatant and mRNA and protein expression of iNOS[(3.767±0.364)％vs(14.757±0.986)％]and TLR4 induced by LPS(P＜0.05).In addi-tion,remimazolam agonist Neoseptin-3 restored the effects of LPS on above molecules[iNOS:(6.827±0.642)％vs(3.767±0.364)％,all P＜0.05].But,there were no statistical differences in above molecules between the agonist group and agonist control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which remimazolam inhibits LPS-induced M1 microglial polarization is related to down-regulation of TLR4 expression.

Objective This study aims to develop an early in-hospital temperature management protocol for heat stroke patients and assess its effectiveness,providing guidance for rapid cooling and precise target temperature control.Methods The protocol was developed through a Delphi expert consultation combined with expert panel meetings.A multi-center,non-randomized,historical control study was conducted,utilizing convenience sampling to select heat stroke patients from the emergency departments of 7 tertiary hospitals in Zhejiang Province,China,between June and August 2024 as an experimental group.The protocol was implemented in this group,while the control group consisted of heat stroke patients treated between June and August 2022,prior to protocol implementation.Cooling rates,target temperature attainment rates,and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.Results The final protocol included 6 primary indicators,23 secondary indicators,and 56 tertiary indicators.After protocol implementation,the experimental group achieved a cooling rate of 0.08(0.05～0.09)℃/min within 0.5 hours,significantly higher than the control group,which had a rate of 0.04(0.02～0.06)℃/min(P＜0.001).The target temperature attainment rates at 0.5 hours and 2.0 hours were 55.93％and 98.31％,respectively,significantly higher than the rates of 15.87％and 61.11％in the control group(P＜0.001).The mechanical ventilation rate,hospitalization rate,ICU admission rate,and mortality rate in the experimental group were 25.42％,61.02％,44.07％,and 8.47％,respectively.Logistic regression analysis revealed that the early in-hospital temperature management protocol significantly reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization in heat stroke patients,with odds ratios(ORs)of 0.294 and 0.300,respectively(both P＜0.05).Conclusion The developed protocol for early in-hospital temperature management in heat stroke patients is scientific,systematic,and practical.It improves cooling rates and target temperature attainment,thereby enhancing the prognosis of heat stroke patients.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Su Fei He Ji combined with anlotinib hydrochloride in the treatment of refractory advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients presenting with phlegm stasis obstructing lung type.Methods Thirty-nine patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly assigned to either a control group(19 patients)or an experimental group(20 patients).The control group received treatment with anlotinib alone,while the experimental group received an additional oral administration of Su Fei He Ji.A comparative analysis was conducted between the two groups based on various parameters including short-term objective therapeutic efficacy,progression-free survival,TCM syndrome scores,KPS scores,weight changes,related tumor markers,incidence of adverse reactions,and variations in plasma concentrations of anlotinib.Results Following treatment,the objective response rate was 5%and the disease control rate was 85%in the experimental group,while the control group showed an objective response rate of 0%and a disease control rate of 78.95%.No statistically significant difference was observed in short-term objective efficacy between the two groups(P>0.05).Notably,the experimental group exhibited a significant improvement compared to the control group in various aspects,including TCM syndrome scores and KPS scores(P<0.05).Conversely,no significant differences were observed in weight changes or the reduction levels of other tumor markers(CEA,SCC,CA125,CA199,CYFRA21-1)(P>0.05).Moreover,the incidence of fatigue was notably lower in the experimental group(P<0.05),while no statistical difference was evident in the occurrence of other adverse reactions,such as hypertension,rash,and bleeding,between the two groups(P>0.05).It is important to highlight that there was no statistically significant variance in plasma concentrations between the groups(P>0.05),and no significant correlation was identified between plasma concentrations and the incidence of adverse reactions(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of Su Fei He Ji and anlotinib hydrochloride effectively improves clinical symptoms and quality of life,and reduces adverse reactions in advanced NSCLC patients.This is achieved without affecting the plasma concentrations of anlotinib.

Objective To analyze the correlation between right atrial strain at various stages and various influencing factors in patients with pulmonary hypertension,and to explore the role of right atrial strain in the assessment of pulmonary hypertension.Methods A total of 239 cases diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension who underwent echocardiography and complete right heart catheterization at hospital from October 2021 to December 2023 were included.Conventional ultrasound parameters such as right heart strain,right atrial area(RA area),inferior vena cava diameter(IVC diameter),and collapse rate of the inferior vena cava(IVC diameter changes)were measured.The heart rate(HR)corresponding to the ultrasound images were recorded.General information such as age and gender,as well as catheter data including mean right atrial pressure(mRAP),mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP),and pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR),were collected.The relationship between right atrial strain and its influencing factors was analyzed,and further analysis was conducted by dividing into shunt group and non-shunt group based on the presence or absence of left-to-right shunt disease.Results The correlation with RA reservoir strain(RASr)from high to low is RV global strain(RV4CSL),RV free wall strain(RVFWSL),RA area,IVC diameter,mRAP,age,HR,and PVR;the correlation with RAconduit strain(RAScd)from high to low is RV4CSL,RVFWSL,RA area,IVC diameter,mRAP,age,PVR,and HR;the correlation with RA contraction strain(RASct)from high to low is RA area,RV4CSL,RVFWSL,mRAP,IVC diameter,and HR.The collapse rate of the inferior vena cava is correlated with strain at various stages of the right atrium;gender is correlated with RASr and RASct.Conclusions Right atrial strain can reflect changes in right atrial function,with the highest correlation to right ventricular strain and right atrial area.Right atrial strain can indicate the severity of right ventricular function and right atrial remodeling,serving as an evaluative index for the condition and treatment outcomes of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
