The research on the cardiovascular toxicity of air pollutants is in urgent need of collaborative innovation across multiple models. This paper systematically reviewed the advantages and limitations of four principal research models of cardiotoxicity, including epidemiological model, mammalian model, zebrafish model, and in vitro model. Epidemiological models have been used to demonstrate a significant correlation between exposure to PM_2.5 and both the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases within populations; however, these models face challenges in establishing causal inferences and interpreting individual mechanisms. Mammalian models have been applied to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of PM_2.5 at both the systemic and organ-specific levels, yet they encounter difficulties related to interspecies differences and throughput constraints. Zebrafish models, with their transparent embryos and observable development, offer a distinctive opportunity for high-throughput screening and mechanistic investigation of PM_2.5-induced cardiac developmental toxicity. Nonetheless, their cardiac physiological structure diverges from that of mammals, limiting their capacity to accurately model chronic conditions such as coronary heart disease. In vitro models, particularly human heart organoids and chip technologies, have provided profound insights into the direct toxic mechanisms of PM_2.5, including disruptions in calcium homeostasis, cellular senescence, and electrophysiological irregularities at the cellular and molecular levels. Despite these advancements, the complexity and developmental maturity of these models present challenges to their broader application. This paper proposed that the key to overcoming the bottlenecks of single models lies in the construction of an integrated evaluation system that combines “epidemiological studies, mammalian models, zebrafish models, and in vitro models”. By focusing on three aspects, namely model integration, technological convergence, and policy support, it is intended to collaboratively address issues such as standardization of multi-model data, simulation of complex exposure scenarios and susceptible life stages, and transformation pathways. This will provide innovative methodological support for the analysis of the cardiotoxic mechanisms of air pollutants, the assessment of environmental health impacts, and the formulation of precise prevention and control strategies.

Childhood household dysfunction(CHD)is a common adverse childhood experience,which brings the heavy physical and mental afflictions to children and adolescents.Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy(TF-CBT)is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps children and adolescents who have experienced childhood trauma with traumatic memories.It aims to enhance the coping abilities of CHD children and adolescents,thereby improving the negative effects caused by trauma and effectively reducing psychological burden.TF-CBT can effectively improve post-traumatic stress disorder,emotional and behavioral problems,and family function in children and adolescents with CHD.It is recommended to conduct high-quality original research in the future,develop targeted TF-CBT intervention plans based on potential predictive factors,adopt a combination of online and offline methods,and construct TF-CBT interventions suitable for the Chinese CHD population to meet the mental health service needs of CHD children and adolescents.

AIM: To compare the changes in axial length of myopic patients of different ages after wearing orthokeratology lenses with increased compression factor(ICF)or conventional compression factor(CCF)for 2 a.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 141 myopia patients(141 right eyes)aged 8 to 15 years who fitted with orthokeratology lenses in the General Hospital of Foshan Aier Eye Hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were continuously included. They were divided into the CCF group(70 cases, 70 eyes)and the ICF group(71 cases, 71 eyes). The patients in the CCF group were fitted with orthokeratology lens of 0.75 DS CCF, while patients in the ICF group were fitted with orthokeratology lens of 1.25 D ICF. Taking 12 years old as a boundary, these two groups were divided into 8-11 years old and 12-15 years old group. The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), horizontal corneal curvature(K1)and corneal staining were recorded for all subjects after wearing lenses for 1 d, 1 wk, 1, 6 mo, 1 and 2 a. The axial length(AL)was recorded after wearing lenses for 6 mo, 1 and 2 a, and the complication and corneal epithelial staining were observed during lens wearing.RESULTS:The improvement of UCVA in the ICF group was faster than that in the CCF group, which were statistical significant after wearing lenses for 1 d, 1 wk and 1 mo, respectively(all P<0.001); however, there was no statistical significance between the two groups after 6 mo, 1 and 2 a(all P>0.05); K1 of the ICF group decreased faster than that of the CCF group, and there were statistical significance at 1 d, 1 wk, and 1 mo after wearing lenses(all P<0.05); there was no statistical significance at 6 mo, 1 and 2 a(all P>0.05). The axial length growth of patients aged 8-11 years old in the ICF group and CCF group was 0.35±0.17 and 0.48±0.26 mm, respectively(P=0.010), after wearing lenses for 2 a, and the axial length growth of patients aged 12-15 years old in the ICF group and CCF group was 0.16±0.15 and 0.31±0.29 mm, respectively(P=0.011). During the follow-up period, corneal spotting occurred in 6 eyes(8.5%)in the ICF group, and 7 eyes(10%)in the CCF group(P>0.05), all of which were grade 1 spotting.CONCLUSION:Wearing ICF orthokeratology lens is more effective than wearing CCF lenses in controlling the growth of axial length, with faster shaping and more obvious improvement in UCVA, especially for the prevention of high myopia in children under 12 years. Therefore, young children can give priority to wearing lenses that increase the compression factor, and for children over 12 years old, the compression factor of the lens can be selectively increased according to the wearer's eye habits, health status of ocular surface and visual function.

Objective To investigate the role of complement C3 in early predicting pregnancy outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer(F-ET).Methods A total of 378 F-ET cycles were prospectively collected and divided into group A(complement C3≤1.05,120 cycles)and group B(complement C3>1.05,258 cycles)based on the best cutoff value of complement C3 for predicting F-ET pregnancy outcomes.The outcomes of the two groups were compared,and the best cutoff value of complement C3 for predicting F-ET spontaneous abortion was analyzed in group B.Results Age was a risk factor for successful F-ET pregnancy(P<0.05),and complement C3 and embryo type were protective factors for successful F-ET pregnancy(P<0.05).The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve(ROC)of complement C3 for predicting F-ET pregnancy outcome was 0.702,and the best cutoff value was 1.05 g/L,with a clinical pregnancy sensitivity of 87.60%and a specificity of 52.00%.The clinical pregnancy rate and embryo implantation rate in group B were both significantly higher than those in group A(67.05%vs.52.75%,P<0.05).The best cutoff value of complement C3 for predicting spontaneous abortion after F-ET was 1.32 g/L,with an area under the ROC curve of 0.760,a sensitivity of 69.00%,and a specificity of 81.20%.Conclusions Complement C3 is of significance in the early prediction of F-ET pregnancy outcome.When complement C3 exceeds the level of 1.32 g/L,it may lead to an increase in the rate of spontaneous abortion.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of depression in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction 3 months after discharge, and build a risk prediction model.Methods:The clinical data of 237 patients with lacunar cerebral infarction diagnosed and treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, laboratory indicators and risk factors of cardiovascular disease were collected when the patients were admitted to hospital. The patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score was used to assess the risk of post-stroke depression (PSD) 3 months after discharge. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors of depression. A predictive model was constructed based on the above risk factors. The predictive efficacy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the clinical applicability of the predictive model was measured by calibration curve and decision curve.Results:Fifty-four patients with lacunar infarction (22.80%) showed symptoms of depression at 3 months after discharge. Multivariate logistic regression showed that women ( OR=2.952, 95% CI: 1.403-6.213, P=0.004), cystatin C ( OR=2.964, 95% CI: 1.222-7.191, P=0.016), apolipoprotein B ( OR=4.836, 95% CI: 1.533-15.258, P=0.007) were the independent risk factors for PSD in patients with lacunar infarction. Activity of daily living (ADL) score ( OR=0.939, 95% CI: 0.915-0.964, P<0.001) was a protective factor for PSD in patients with lacunar infarction. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.703-0.855, P<0.001), which was better than other predictors. Hosmer-Lemeshow H test showed that the model was well calibrated ( P=0.588). In addition, the prediction model of decision curve analysis had a good clinical applicability. Conclusions:The predictive model based on gender, laboratory indicators and daily life ability score can evaluate the risk of PSD in patients with lacunar infarction 3 months after discharge. It is good predictive efficacy and clinical applicability which worth clinical promotion and application.

ObjectiveTo investigate the anti-convulsant activity of goat horn and its effect on the main neurotransmitters in the brain of model mice. MethodA total of 120 mice were randomly divided into a blank group，a model group，a positive drug group （estazolam， 1 mg·kg^-1）， a Saigae Tataricae Cornu （STC， 0.2 g·kg^-1） group， and low- （1.25 g·kg^-1） and high-dose （2.5 g·kg^-1） goat horn groups. Drugs were administered by gavage once at 10 mL·kg^-1. Those in the blank group and the model group were given the same volume of 0.2% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose （CMC-Na）. The mice underwent threshold electrical stimulation once 2 h after administration. Ankylosing convulsion in the hind limbs of mice was used as the index to calculate the recovery period， convulsion rate， and mortality of ankylosing convulsion. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） was established to analyze the changes in the content of the main neurotransmitters in the brain tissues of mice. ResultTwo hours after intragastric administration of goat horn powder to mice， the recovery period of convulsion could be shortened and the convulsion rate and mortality were reduced （P<0.05）. In terms of anti-convulsant effect， the groups were ranked as follows： high-dose goat horn group > STC group > low-dose goat horn group. UPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that compared with the results in the model group， goat horn powder and STC decreased the content of glutamic acid and aspartic acid （P<0.05） and increased the content of glycine， γ-aminobutyric acid， and 5-hydroxytryptamine （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe results showed that goat horn had a significant anti-convulsant effect on the electroshock-induced convulsion mouse model， and the underlying mechanism was presumably attributed to the improvement of the development of convulsion by regulating the changes in neurotransmitter content in brain tissues.

Objective:To analyze the whole genome of Omicron variants causing the first local Omicron outbreak in Henan Province and to investigate the mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome for source tracing.Methods:Respiratory tract samples from COVID-19 cases in the Omicron outbreak in Henan Province from January 7 to 29, 2022 were subjected to whole-genome sequencing and sequence alignment analysis. Whole-genome identity, variations and evolution of the Omicron variants were analyzed.Results:Through high-throughput sequencing, the whole-genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 were obtained from 120 cases, which accounted for 25.64% (120/468) of all COVID-19 cases in Anyang during the same period. Compared with the genome of Wuhan reference strain (NC_045512.2), there were 57-59 nucleotide mutation sites in the 120 whole genome sequences, and one or two nucleotide mutation sites were added to the shared 57 nucleotide sites. All of the 120 strains were VOC/Omicron (BA.1.1) variants and shared high homology. The whole-genome sequence obtained from the first case A contained 57 nucleotide mutation sites, while apart from the 57 identical nucleotide mutation sites, one specific mutation site (C1594T) was found in the whole-genome sequence obtained from the first case B, suggesting that the two cases were in the same transmission chain. After comparing with the database of domestic and imported cases by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Henan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it was found that the current outbreak was linked with the same transmission chain as the existing local epidemics in other provinces. Moreover, epidemiological investigation showed that on January 2, case A had come into contact with her cousin and his family who returned from an affected area outside the province.Conclusions:Based on the gene sequencing results and epidemiological investigation, the COVID-19 outbreak in Anyang city, Henan Province was a local epidemic and the source of it was a college student who returned to Anyang city from other province on December 28, 2021. These infections were linked to the same transmission chain as the existing local infection in other provinces.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors influencing the catch-up growth of 12-months low birth weight infants in Suyu District of Suqian City during the period of COVID-19 prevention and control. MethodsAll 301 low birth weight infants were selected with clustered sampling from the database under authorized use， who made their regular check-ups and follow-ups to 12 months in Suyu District of Suqian City from January 2020 to May 2021. Data were collected on infants’ basic information， their birth situation and their weight upon birth and at12 months， while maternal situation during pregnancy and the infants’ postnatal feeding and diseases were investigated with a questionnaire.Z scores were calculated. All infants were divided into the catch-up growth group and the uncompleted catch-up growth group according to whether the △Z score was ≥0.67. The influencing factors were analyzed for catch-up growth of the low birth weight infants during the period of COVID-19 prevention and control. ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in the rate of small for gestational age， preterm birth， intrauterine growth retardation， postnatal nutrition enhancement and feeding mode between the two groups. The results in the multifactor logistics regression analysis showed that intrauterine growth retardation （OR=0.070， 95%CI： 0.015‒0.327） was an obstacle factor for catch-up growth， while postnatal fortified nutrition （OR=6.518， 95%CI 1.215‒34.955） was a promoting factor for catch-up growth. ConclusionThere is catch-up growth in postnatal weight among most of the low birth weight infants. Postnatal fortified nutrition is beneficial to catch-up growth， while intrauterine growth retardation may induce uncompleted catch-up growth.
