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: To develop a RHCE genotyping assay based on kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) and assess its clinical accuracy for RhCE blood group determination. Methods: KASP primers were designed to interrogate three RHCE loci: the 109 bp insertion/deletion in intron 2, c. 307T>C, and c. 676C>G. A total of 1 194 RhD-positive inpatients from Chengdu were typed by both KASP genotyping and manual tube serology. Discordant samples (n=10) were retested by both methods and further resolved by Sanger sequencing. An additional 377 cases were tested for the c. 48C>G locus to evaluate the predictive accuracy of individual loci and combined locus testing for RhC antigen. Results: Genotyping concordance with serology was 100.0% for both the c. 676C>G locus (RhE/Rhe) and the c. 307T>C locus (Rhc). For RhC prediction using the 109 bp insertion, overall accuracy was 99.7% (1 191/1 194); the 3 discordant cases were confirmed by Sanger sequencing to be false negatives attributable to 109 bp deletion in intron 2. Testing the c. 48C>G allele for RhC prediction yielded 7 false positives, with an accuracy of 98.1% (370/377). RhC antigen status was determined by combining the 109 bp insertion and the c. 48C allele. After excluding 10 samples with inconsistent results between the two loci, the accuracy reached 100% in the remaining 367 samples. When both loci were applied in combination, accuracy reached 100% in the 367 cases with concordant results. Among the 1 194 patients, CCee (45.8%) and CcEe (31.7%) were the most common RhCE phenotypes. The e antigen had the highest positivity rate (92.2%), and the Ce haplotype was the most frequent (66.9%). Conclusion: The KASP-based RHCE genotyping method achieves high accuracy for clinical RhCE typing. Combining the 109 bp insertion/deletion with the c. 48C allele significantly improves RhC antigen prediction compared with either locus alone. This method was applied to RhCE genotyping of 1 194 RhD-positive inpatients in Chengdu, providing local RhCE phenotype and haplotype distribution data to support RhCE-matched transfusion practice.

Objective To assess the current state and influencing factors of multi-site work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among front-line employees in the assembly workshop of an automobile manufacturing enterprise. Methods A total of 394 front-line workers in the assembly workshop of an automobile manufacturing enterprise in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. The Chinese version Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to assess the presence of WMSDs over the past 12 months in nine body regions: neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, elbows, wrists, hips and thighs, knees, ankles and feet. The multivariable logistic regression was employed to investigate the influencing factors. Results The detection rate of overall WMSDs was 32.7% (129/394), with the top three single-site WMSDs being in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, and their detection rates were 14.0%, 12.7% and 9.6%, respectively. The detection rate of multi-site WMSDs was 17.8% (70/394). The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that workers who turned or bent their upper body while keeping their legs stationary, frequently performed wrist flexion/extension/lateral bending/rotation, or stood for prolonged period of time had significantly higher risks of developing multi-site WMSDs compared with those who did not (all P<0.05). Workers who perceived uncomfortable workplace lighting had higher risk of multi-site WMSDs than those who perceived it as comfortable (P<0.01). Conclusion The development of multi-site WMSDs among workers in the assembly workshop of this automobile manufacturing enterprise is strongly related to poor working postures at work.

Fluorescent probes L1 to L5 containing two recognition sites based on Schiff base were prepared for detection of Al3+.The probes were constituted by introducing two salicylaldehyde derivatives through hydrazide groups on isophthalic hydrazide.Among them,a fast turn-on fluorescence probe L1 for Al3+with high fluorescence quantum yield was found.The recognition performance and mechanism of probe L1 to Al3+were studied by multiple analysis methods.The results showed that probe L1 could rapidly and highly selectively recognize Al3+by fluorescent enhancement at 446 nm and the detection limit was as low as 4.65 nmol/L,and it was found that L1 complexed with Al3+in the molar ratio of 1:1.In addition,the calculation results of density functional theory(DFT)showed that two binding sites in the probe molecule connected two different Al3+,and each Al3+connected two adjacent probe molecules.Using quinine sulfate as a reference,the fluorescence quantum yield of L1-Al3+complex was as high as 30%.Probe L1 could also be applied to the detection of Al3+in real water samples.

BACKGROUND: Disease-modifying therapies have been approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The present study aims to examine the safety of teriflunomide in Chinese patients with RMS. METHODS: This non-randomized, multi-center, 24-week, prospective study enrolled RMS patients with variant (c.421C>A) or wild type ABCG2 who received once-daily oral teriflunomide 14 mg. The primary endpoint was the relationship between ABCG2 polymorphisms and teriflunomide exposure over 24 weeks. Safety was assessed over the 24-week treatment with teriflunomide. RESULTS: Eighty-two patients were assigned to variant ( n  = 42) and wild type groups ( n  = 40), respectively. Geometric mean and geometric standard deviation (SD) of pre-dose concentration (variant, 54.9 [38.0] μg/mL; wild type, 49.1 [32.0] μg/mL) and area under plasma concentration-time curve over a dosing interval (AUC tau ) (variant, 1731.3 [769.0] μg∙h/mL; wild type, 1564.5 [1053.0] μg∙h/mL) values at steady state were approximately similar between the two groups. Safety profile was similar and well tolerated across variant and wild type groups in terms of rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), treatment-related TEAE, grade ≥3 TEAE, and serious adverse events (AEs). No new specific safety concerns or deaths were reported in the study. CONCLUSION: ABCG2 polymorphisms did not affect the steady-state exposure of teriflunomide, suggesting a similar efficacy and safety profile between variant and wild type RMS patients.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of lung cancer in Zhejiang cancer regi-stration areas in 2021 and trends from 2000 to 2021.[Methods]Using data from Zhejiang cancer registration areas from 2000 to 2021,the crude rate,age-standardized rate by Chinese standard population(ASRC)and the world standard population(ASRW),and composition ratio were calcu-lated to describe the incidence and mortality in 2021.Joinpoint regression was employed to ana-lyze temporal trends over the 22 years,calculating the annual percentage change(APC),average annual percentage change(AAPC),and their 95％confidence intervals(CI).[Results]The crude incidence rate of lung cancer in 2021 was 128.58/105,with an ASRC of 68.74/105,ac-counting for 24.22％of all cancers;the crude mortality rate was 51.55/105,with an ASRC of 21.58/105,constituting 27.98％of all cancer deaths.Both crude incidence rate(AAPC=5.73％,P＜0.001)and ASIRC(AAPC=4.14％,P＜0.001)of lung cancer showed significant increasing trends from 2000 to 2021.The crude mortality rate increased slowly(AAPC=1.76％,P＜0.001),while the ASMRC(AAPC=-0.40％,P=0.035)exhibited a modest decline.The increase in incidence was more pronounced in females than males,though no statistically significant difference was observed in mortality trends.The incidence rates in urban and rural areas showed similar growth trends;the crude mortality rate in rural areas was growing significantly faster than that in urban areas,and the decline in the ASRC was only statistically significant in urban areas.The incidence rate was in-creasing in all age groups.The mortality rate was declining among younger people(＜65 years old).The age group of 15～44 years old demonstrated a greater increase in incidence and a sharper decline in mortality than those aged 45 years old and above.[Conclusion]From 2000 to 2021,Zhejiang Province experienced a marked rise in lung cancer incidence with escalating disease burden.Despite severe population aging,ASRC of mortality declined steadily,reflecting effective prevention and control measures.

BACKGROUND:The study of deer antler stem cells and exosomes to promote the repair of acute skin injuries has received increasing attention in recent years,but the effect and mechanism of exosomes composite hydrogel to promote the repair of burn wounds are still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel on the healing speed and quality of rat deep third-degree burn wound and its mechanism of action.METHODS:Deer antler stem cell exosomes and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were extracted and compounded with Pluronic F-127 to prepare a temperature-sensitive hydrogel.A constant temperature and pressure burn apparatus was used to prepare a rat model of deep third-degree burn.The drug was administered to four groups:deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group,human epidermal growth factor gel group,and the control group.The healing of burned rats was observed and the wound healing rate was calculated.At 28 days after burn,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the generation of skin accessory structures in the healing tissues.Masson staining was used to analyze the accumulation of collagen in the healing tissues.Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the angiogenesis and nflammatory response in the healing tissues.qRT-PCR was used to examine the expression level of mRNA of the wound healing-related genes in the healing tissues.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel can significantly promote the healing rate of deep burn wounds in rats,and improve the quality of wound healing by promoting the regeneration of skin collateral structures,increasing the dermal thickness and enhancing the accumulation of collagen.(2)The number of myofibroblasts in the wound healing tissues of deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group was significantly reduced,and the number of neovascularization and M2 macrophages was significantly increased.(3)The mRNA levels of transforming growth factor β3 and type Ⅲ collagen in the wound healing tissue of deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group were significantly higher than those of the blank group,and the mRNA levels of transforming growth factor β1,matrix metalloproteinase 3,and type Ⅰ collagen were significantly lower than those of the blank group,and there was no significant difference between the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosome composite hydrogel group and the human epidermal growth factor gel group.In conclusion,deer antler stem cell exosome composite hydrogel can promote the healing speed and the quality of healing of deep burned wounds in rats,which may be achieved by inhibiting fibroblastogenesis,promoting angiogenesis,macrophage M2 polarization,and regulating the expression of genes for collagen production/degradation.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture therapy in the treatment of chronic pelvic floor pain syndrome (CPPS).Methods:Ninety CPPS patients admitted to the Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2022 to July 2023 were selected prospectively, and they were divided into two groups by random number table method, each group with 45 cases. The control group received pelvic floor biofeedback treatment alone, while the observation group received pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture treatment. The two groups were treated once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment. After two courses of treatment, the clinical efficacy, pain degree before and after treatment, inflammatory factor levels, SF-36 health questionnaire (SF-36) scores, pelvic floor surface myoelectric parameters, and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 95.56% (43/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 7.28, P<0.05). After treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, levels of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the two groups were decreased, and SF-36 scores were increased, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); the VAS scores, PCT, IL-6 and CRP levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and SF-36 scores was higher than that in the control group: (2.11 ± 0.24) scores vs. (2.87 ± 0.34) scores, (0.92 ± 0.08) ng/L vs. (1.26 ± 0.09) ng/L, (24.08 ± 2.52) μg/L vs. (28.49 ± 3.10) μg/L, (4.55 ± 0.51) mg/L vs. (6.06 ± 0.63) mg/L, (74.55 ± 7.29) scores vs. (70.18 ± 7.80) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the surface muscle potential of pelvic floor muscle were increased in the front resting stage, rapid contraction stage, tension contraction stage, endurance contraction stage and post-resting stage, and the above parameters in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (3.56 ± 0.34)μV vs.(3.20 ± 0.37) μV, (35.26 ± 3.05) μV vs. (31.47 ± 3.08) μV, (34.22 ± 3.25) μV vs. (31.15 ± 3.01)μV, (29.77 ± 3.17) μV vs. (27.04 ± 2.68) μV, (3.21 ± 0.27) μV vs. (3.00 ± 0.34) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the two groups had no statistical difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of CPPS has good clinical effect, and can relief pain response, regulate the inflammatory response and pelvic floor function, and have high safety.
