Objective: To investigate the current status of refractive errors and insufficient hyperopia reserve in preschool children aged 3-6 years in Hefei and to analyze influencing factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted myopia prevention policies and comprehensive interventions. Methods: In May 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 897 preschool children from 8 kindergartens across four districts (Baohe, Yaohai, Shushan, and Economic and Technological Development Zone) in Hefei, and Children’s Visual Health related Behavior Assessment Scale was used to collect personal information and environmental factors. Pre and post cycloplegic refraction tests were conducted to assess insufficient hyperopic reserve and refractive development levels. Group comparisons were conducted using 2 test, t-test or analysis of variance. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify key factors influencing hyperopic reserve, axial length and spherical equivalent in preschool children. Results: The detection rates of refractive errors among preschool children were 6.8% for hyperopia, 1.6% for myopia, and 11.1% for astigmatism. Notably, the prevalence of myopia was significantly higher in boys (2.3%) than in girls (0.7%) ( χ 2=3.88, P <0.05). Additionally, 8.8% of the children exhibited insufficient hyperopic reserve. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that preschool children with high myopia in the father, high myopia in the mother, longer daily duration of near work, and longer daily electronic product use time had increased risks of axial growth ( β =0.12, 0.09, 0.15, 0.11), SE reduction ( β =-0.10, -0.07, -0.18, -0.13), and insufficient hyperopic reserve ( OR=1.87, 2.22, 1.40, 1.28) (P <0.05). While, preschool children with longer sleep time and daily outdoor activity duration had lower risks of axial growth ( β =-0.11, -0.10 ), SE reduction ( β =0.39, 0.51), and insufficient hyperopia reserve ( OR =0.54, 0.51) in preschool children ( P <0.05). Conclusions The rates of refractive errors and insufficient hyperopia reserve in preschool children in Hefei are relatively low, which are influenced by many factors. Parents, kindergartens and relevant departments should implement early vision monitoring and intervention for preschool children, and cultivate their scientific eye use habits.

Objective: To explore the mediating role of balanced time perspective in the relationship between social jetlag and depressive symptom among junior high school students, so as to privide a basis for improving their mental health. Methods: In October 2024, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to select 3 438 junior high school students from two districts(Yubei District and Kaizhou District) in Chongqing. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ), and Balanced Time Perspective Inventory (BTPI) were administered for the survey. Statistical analyses included t-test, ANOVA, and Spearman correlation analysis, and conduct a mediation effect analysis using the Process program. Results: The mean score of depressive symptom among junior high school students was 15.00(9.00, 23.00 ), social jetlag was 1.18(0.72, 1.83) hours, and balanced time perspective score was -0.18(-2.82, 2.93). Social jetlag among junior high school students was positively correlated with depressive symptom score ( r =0.17), while balanced time perspective was negatively correlated with social jetlag ( r =-0.15) and depressive symptom score ( r =-0.68) (all P <0.01). Mediation analysis showed that balanced time perspective partially mediated the relationship between social jetlag and depressive symptom ( β=0.68, P <0.01) among junior high school students, accounting for 53.97% of the total effect. Conclusions Social jetlag of junior high school students influences depressive symptoms by affecting balanced time perspective. Efforts should be made to improve adolescents balanced time perspective for reducing the impact of social jetlag on depressive symptom.

ObjectiveTo analyze the fertility characteristics of the registered population in a neighborhood in Jing’an District， Shanghai from 2013 to 2022， and to provide a reference for population development planning and allocation of public health resources. MethodsData on newborns and puerperae registered in the neighborhood were collected through the Shanghai Birth Medical Information System and Public Security Department information system. Statistical analysis was conducted using Excel 2010， and the Joinpoint regression model was used to describe the changes. ResultsFrom 2013 to 2022， the crude birth rate， general fertility rate， and total fertility rate showed a declining trend， with average annual percent change （AAPC） values of -7.62%， -6.99%， and -4.54%， respectively. The average age of first childbirth and the age of childbearing among women gradually increased， with AAPC values of 1.24% and 1.28%， respectively. In the past 10 years， the total number of newborns showed a downward trend， with an AAPC value of -6.15%. After the implementation of the two-child policy， the proportion of second children showed an increasing trend， with an AAPC value of 7.37%. ConclusionThe fertility level of the population in the neighborhood is declining. The two-child policy has not significantly improved fertility rates， and the age of childbearing in women continues to rise. Diverse measures are needed to encourage childbirths and promote healthy births.

Lenvatinib, a second-generation multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA for first-line treatment of advanced liver cancer, facing limitations due to drug resistance. Here, we applied a multidimensional, high-throughput screening platform comprising patient-derived resistant liver tumor cells (PDCs), organoids (PDOs), and xenografts (PDXs) to identify drug susceptibilities for conquering lenvatinib resistance in clinically relevant settings. Expansion and passaging of PDCs and PDOs from resistant patient liver tumors retained functional fidelity to lenvatinib treatment, expediting drug repurposing screens. Pharmacological screening identified romidepsin, YM155, apitolisib, NVP-TAE684 and dasatinib as potential antitumor agents in lenvatinib-resistant PDC and PDO models. Notably, romidepsin treatment enhanced antitumor response in syngeneic mouse models by triggering immunogenic tumor cell death and blocking the EGFR signaling pathway. A combination of romidepsin and immunotherapy achieved robust and synergistic antitumor effects against lenvatinib resistance in humanized immunocompetent PDX models. Collectively, our findings suggest that patient-derived liver cancer models effectively recapitulate lenvatinib resistance observed in clinical settings and expedite drug discovery for advanced liver cancer, providing a feasible multidimensional platform for personalized medicine.

Background Previous research on chlorinated paraffins (CPs) in fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) has predominantly focused on short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs), and few studies could simultaneously determine short-, medium-, and long-chain chlorinated paraffins (LCCPs). Simultaneous extraction and determination of SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs in PM_2.5 could provide technical support for their environmental monitoring and human health risk assessment. Objective To establish a method based on QUEChERS pretreatment method in conjunction with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry for simultaneously determining the levels of SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs in PM_2.5. Methods The extraction solvents, extraction salts, and extraction steps of a QuEChERS method were optimized. The extraction efficiencies of the target substances were compared under 4 extraction solvents [acetonitrile, dichloromethane, and n-hexane solvents in sequence; acetonitrile: dichloromethane: n-hexane = 1: 1: 2 (v/v/v) mixed solvent; 1% acetic acid-acetonitrile: dichloromethane: n-hexane = 1: 1: 1 (v/v/v) mixed solvent; acetonitrile: dichloromethane: n-hexane = 1: 1: 1 (v/v/v) mixed solvent], 2 dehydrated salts (anhydrous MgSO₄+NaCl and anhydrous Na₂SO₄+NaCl), 2 purification salts (C18 and PSA), and 4 vortex time (5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 min) conditions. Then internal standard was utilized to estimate linear range and detection limit of the refined QuEChERS approach. Results The linearities of SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs were good in the range of 10~1000 ng·mL⁻¹ with the correlation coefficients all greater than 0.96. The method detection limits (MDLs) ranged from 0.01 to 0.29 ng·m⁻³. The spiked recoveries of SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs at the low, medium, and high concentrations were 77.38%-81.64%, 93.11%-99.78%, and 87.41%-101.39%, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 2.90%-12.84%. This method was used to determine the CPs levels in 11 PM_2.5 samples from Shijiazhuang. The positive rates of ∑SCCPs, ∑MCCPs, and ∑LCCPs were all 100%, the concentration ranges were 0.24-2.18 ng·m⁻³ (mean 0.84 ng·m⁻³), 0.17-1.67 ng·m⁻³ (mean 0.70 ng·m⁻³), and 0.01-0.16 ng·m⁻³ (mean 0.04 ng·m⁻³), respectively, and the percentages to ΣCPs were 52.95%, 44.39%, and 2.66%, respectively. Conclusion The method established in this study is simple, time-saving, solvent saving, and can simultaneously detect SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs in PM_2.5, which is suitable for the determination of PM_2.5 samples in large quantities, and can also provide a reference for the detection methods of other halogenated organic compounds in PM_2.5.

To explore the absorption mechanism of APS-Ⅱ in vivo by establishing M cell model. First, Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) was divided into two different molecular weight polysaccharides APS-I ( > 2 000 kDa) and APS-II (10 kDa) by ultrafiltration, and APS-II (10 kDa) was prepared and fluorescently labeled. Meanwhile, M cell model was constructed by Caco-2 cells and Raji cells. The M cell model was treated with transport inhibitors to explore the transport of APS-Ⅱ on M cells. The results show that FITC has been successfully labeled to the end of APS-Ⅱ, and the M cell model was successfully constructed, which found that APS-Ⅱ could be transported by M cells, and four transport inhibitors of 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA), genistein, dynasore and nocodazole indicated that APS-II may enter cells through clathrin and caveolin-mediated endocytosis.

Combined radiation and burn injury (CRBI) is a severe syndrome, which is induced by the simultaneous or successive radiation and burn; but no appropriate clinical therapies are available. Loong oil (LO) is a traditional Chinese medicine oil composed of the oil extracts of cuttlebone, safflower, walnut oil, and rapeseed oil, which has been demonstrated to own anti-radiation and tissue healing functions. In this study, glyceryl monostearate (GMO) was used for the preparation of lyotropic liquid crystals that loaded LO to obtain Loong oil-lyotropic liquid crystals (LOL) for the treatment of skin CRBI. The hexagonal phase structure of LOL was proved by small X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis with an approximate 7:9:11 ratio of peaks and under the polarizing microscope with the birefringence phenomenon. LOL had a high LO loading capacity (4%) and good bio-adhesive force, favoring skin administration. Animal experiments were approved by the Ethics Committee of the Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences and the experiments were conducted in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations (approval number: IACUC-DWZX-2022-834). Compared to triethanolamine creams, LOL had higher skin permeability with total skin penetration within 1 h, benefiting the treatment of deep CRBI. A deep II degree burn CRBI mouse model was established after whole-body irradiation with 5 Gy ⁶⁰Co γ-ray and the next 6-second 100 ℃ burn injury. LOL promoted LO skin penetration, improved epithermal cell proliferation and the formation of hair follicles, accelerated wound healing, and inhibited scarring, which benefitted the therapy of CRBI. In this study, LO application fields are expanded and LO is a promising medication for the treatment of CRBI.
