Abstract The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas：optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

Guided by the concept of holism in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， it is believed that spinal vertebral disorders can affect the knee joint through meridians， physical forms， the relationship among tendons， bones， qi， and blood， as well as liver-kidney zang-fu （脏腑） functions， thereby triggering knee pain. In clinical practice， for conditions such as knee joint pain with poor local therapeutic effects or unexplained knee joint pain， it is recommended to start with an examination of the spine for lesions. By adopting the spine-adjusting and knee-benefiting method， through techniques of loosening and tightening acupoints， bone setting and curve adjustment， strengthening tendons and bones， and consolidating and protecting the liver and kidneys， the spine can be restored to its normal physiological state， achieving the goal of distal tendon-bone balance， harmonization of qi and blood， and the spontaneous disappearance of knee joint pain.

Occupational stress has been considered as one of the potential independent risk factors for the occurrence and development of hypertension in recent years. This paper reviews the concept connotation and common assessment methods of occupational stress, expounds the potential mechanisms by which occupational stress affects blood pressure levels, summarizes and analyzes the research progress of occupational stress-related hypertension in recent years, identifies existing issues in current research, and discusses future research directions, aiming to provide a reference for further understanding the relationship between occupational stress and hypertension and formulating effective intervention measures.

Based on the view that wind pathogen runs through the entire course of the occurrence and development of nephrotic syndrome， it is proposed that the core pathogenesis of refractory nephrotic syndrome （RNS） in children involves imbalance of the lung， spleen， and kidney， invasion of wind pathogen， and stagnation of turbidity and stasis， and that directing the turbid downward with wind medicinals is the key therapeutic strategy. In clinical practice， according to the distinct pathogenic characteristics of three patterns， including defensive qi insecurity of the lung， yang deficiency with loss of regulation， and binding of turbidity and stasis， three corresponding methods are applied， which are diffusing the lung to consolidate defensive qi， elevating yang to supplement the spleen and kidney， and activating blood to unblock turbidity and stasis. For the pattern of defensive qi insecurity of the lung， wind medicinals are used to penetrate and disperse external pathogens， such as fangfeng （Radix Saposhnikoviae） and mahuang （Herba Ephedrae） for diffusing the lung， dispersing wind， and consolidating defensive qi. For yang deficiency with loss of regulation pattern， wind medicinals are employed to elevate yang and assist transformation， such as shengma （Rhizoma Cimicifugae） and gegen （Radix Puerariae Lobatae） for raising clear yang， warming and activating the spleen and kidney. For binding of turbidity and stasis pattern， wind medicinals with scurrying and collateral‑unblocking properties are used， such as jixueteng （Caulis Spatholobi）， luoshiteng （Caulis Trachelospermi）， and chuanshanlong （Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae） for dispelling wind， activating blood， resolving stasis， and directing turbidity downward. In all these methods， the core principle is to use wind medicinals to regulate qi movement， open and unblock the sweat pores， and separately eliminate turbid pathogens， thereby providing a theoretical and practical basis for the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment of RNS in children.

Objective To investigate the expression of methyltransferase like protein 5(METTL5)and Vi-ral like m6A methyltransferase associated(VIRMA)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and their relationship with clinical prognosis.Methods A total of 89 HCC patients who visited the hospital from March 2018 to March 2021 were enrolled in the study.Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence quantitative PCR were con-ducted to analyze the expression of METTL5,VIRMA protein and mRNA in tissues.Kaplan-Meier curve and COX regression were used to analyze the impact of METTL5 and VIRMA proteins on the prognosis of HCC.Results The METTL5 mRNA(3.23±0.55 vs.0.61±0.20)and VIRMA mRNA(2.97±0.42 vs.0.58±0.17)in HCC cancer tissue were higher than those in adjacent tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(t=42.234,49.762,both P＜0.001).METTL5 and VIRMA proteins were located in the cyto-plasm and cell membrane,with some in the nucleus.The positive rates of METTL5[71.91％(64/89)vs.5.62％(5/89)]and VIRMA[69.66％(62/89)vs.6.74％(6/89)]in HCC cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=82.385,74.627,P＜0.001,P=0.001).The expression of METTL5 and VIRMA proteins in HCC were related to China Liver Cancer Staging(CNLC)stages,maximum tumor diameter,and vascular invasion,and the positive rates of METTL5 and VIRMA proteins were higher in HCC cancer tissues with CNLC stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ,maximum tumor diameter≥ 5 cm,and vascular invasion(P＜0.05).The 3-year survival rates of METTL5 positive and negative groups were 34.88％(15/43)and 67.39％(31/46),with statistically significant differences(Log-rank x2=7.893,P=0.005).The 3-year survival rates of the VIRMA positive and negative groups were 36.36％(16/44)and 66.67％(30/45),with statistically significant differences(Log-rank x2=9.828,P=0.002).CNLC staging stages Ⅱ-Ⅲ,maximum tumor diameter ≥5 cm,vascular invasion,METTL5 positivity,and VIRMA positivi-ty were risk factors for poor prognosis in HCC patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The upregulation of MET-TL5 and VIRMA expression in HCC are associated with CNLC stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ,maximum tumor diameter and vascular invasion,and both of them are tumor markers for evaluating the prognosis of HCC.

Objective:To study the effects of TCM ointment rubbing technique on pain, swelling, and knee joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. In this study, 80 patients with KOA who underwent TKA treatment in the Department of Sports Medicine I, Wangjing Hospital, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2022 to March 2024 were taken as the study subjects. They were divided into two groups with random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional Western medicine + rehabilitation training after surgery, and the observation group was combined with TCM paste mo technique on this basis. VAS score was used to assess the degree of pain at different time points, and skin fold was used to measure the circumference of the upper knee circumference and the circumference of the lower knee circumference, and knee Injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) was used to assess the degree of knee joint function recovery.Results:After treatment, the observation group after surgerythe at 7 d (2.57 ± 0.84 vs. 4.00 ± 0.85, t=7.54) and 14 d (0.80 ± 0.93 vs. 2.70 ± 1.04, t=8.56) VAS scores were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001). After treatment, the observation group after surgerythe at 7 d the superior circumference [(48.32 ± 4.57) cm vs. (50.53 ± 3.97) cm, t=2.32], and inferior circumference [(36.71 ± 2.95) cm vs. (39.21 ± 6.86) cm, t=2.12], at 14 d the superior circumference [(45.68 ± 4.69) cm vs. (47.96 ± 3.89) cm, t=2.37], and inferior circumference [(34.96 ± 2.96) cm vs. (36.70 ± 4.35) cm, t=2.10] were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The observation group after surgerythe at 14 d the the knee joint mobility [(115.32 ± 2.12) ° vs. (113.34 ± 2.16) °, t=4.14] and KOOS scores (85.52 ± 0.82 vs. 80.32 ± 1.13, t=23.56) were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:TCM ointment rubbing technique has significant advantages in improving pain, swelling and knee joint mobility after artificial knee arthroplasty, which can effectively restore knee joint function.

Objective To investigate the current status of sleep quality,depression,anxiety and stress of special service convalescents and their correlation.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on 311 special service convalescents by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)and the depression-anxiety-stress self-rating scale-21(DASS-21)from May to July 2022.Results The mean total PSQI score of 311 special service convalescents was 4.93±3.14,and 63 of them(20.26%)had sleep quality problems(total score of PSQI>7).The proportions of respondents with the scores≥2 in sleep time,daytime dysfunction,subjective sleep quality,and fall-asleep time were 30.87%,26.05%,21.22%,and 20.26%,respectively.The proportions of respondents with mild depression,anxiety and stress were 6.11%,4.50%and 2.57%,respectively,which were higher than the other three grades(moderate,severe and very serious).The incidence of sleep quality problems,depression,anxiety,and stress in respondents aged 40 years and above was higher than those in the other age groups,and there was a tendency to increase with age.The total score of PSQI and all factors(except hypnotic drugs)were positively correlated with depression,anxiety,and stress in special service convalescents(all P<0.01).Regression analysis showed that depression and stress were the direct influencing factors of sleep quality.Conclusion The special service convalescents have varying degrees of sleep quality problems and negative emotions such as depression,anxiety,and stress,especially those aged 40 years and above.Sleep quality is closely related to depression,anxiety,and stress.

Objective To investigate the metabolic characteristics of patients with early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and to develop a risk prediction model for microvascular complications.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 980 T2DM patients admitted for treatment between April 2020 and April 2024.Based on age at diagnosis,the patients were divided into two groups,an early-onset T2DM group(age at diagnosis<40 years,n=265)and a late-onset T2DM group(age at diagnosis≥40 years,n=715).Differences in metabolic indicators between the two groups were compared.Patients in the early-onset group were further divided into a complication subgroup(n=142)and a non-complication subgroup(n=123)based on the presence or absence of microvascular complications.Data on baseline characteristics,metabolic parameters,and laboratory indicators were collected and compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for microvascular complications,and a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The model's discriminative performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and its calibration was evaluated using calibration curves and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Decision curve analysis(DCA)was also performed to assess the model's clinical utility.Results Compared with the late-onset group,patients in the early-onset group exhibited more pronounced metabolic abnormalities,including higher body mass index(BMI),proportion of family history of diabetes mellitus,glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels,total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),triglyceride-glucose index(TyG),and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)levels(all P<0.05),along with a shorter disease duration and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)(P<0.05).According to a multivariate analysis,systolic blood pressure(SBP),total bilirubin(TBIL),HDL-C,LDL-C,TyG,and LDH were identified as independent risk factors for microvascular complications in patients with early-onset T2DM.A predictive model based on these factors was established as the follows,Log(P)=-19.915+0.017×SBP-0.136×TBIL-1.241×HDL-C+0.684×LDL-C+0.769×TyG+0.050×LDH.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.864(95%CI,0.820-0.907),and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good model fit(χ2=10.286,P=0.246).The slope of the DCA curve was also close to 1.Conclusion The nomogram prediction model based on SBP,TBIL,HDL-C,LDL-C,TyG,and LDH demonstrates good predictive performance for microvascular complications and can provide a reference for clinical risk stratification and individualized intervention.

Objective To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with holocarboxylase synthetase(HLCS)deficiency.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 3 children with HLCS deficiency who were admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from December 2014 to January 2024.Relevant literature indexed in CNKI,Wanfang Data,PubMed and other databases was reviewed to summarize the clinical characteristics and HLCS gene mutations of children with HLCS deficiency.Results All 3 children were male,with onset age of 4-6 months.The main clinical manifestations included shortness of breath,vomiting,diarrhea,and poor mental state,and partial cases were complicated by growth retardation and neurological symptoms.Laboratory tests showed metabolic acidosis in all cases,blood amino acid and acylcarnitine profiles as well as urinary organic acid analysis suggested multiple carboxylase deficiency.Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous mutation in the HLCS gene of all 3 children,among which the c.1892delT(p.L631X)mutation was previously unreported.According to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics(ACMG),the c.1892delT(p.L631X)mutation was rated as pathogenic mutation(PVS1+PM2_supporting+PM3).Biotin supplementation was effective in all cases.Literature review included 27 English literatures and 29 Chinese literatures,reporting a total of 133 children with HLCS deficiency caused by HLCS gene mutation.Common clinical manifestations included metabolic acidosis,skin lesions,vomiting,feeding difficulties,dyspnea,diarrhea,and neurological symptoms,etc.Conclusions Blood amino acid and acylcarnitine profiles,urine organic acid analysis,and gene testing are helpful for the diagnosis of HLCS deficiency.Timely biotin supplementation leads to a good prognosis.The mutation of HLCS gene is considered as the genetic etiology of HLCS deficiency in 3 children,among which the c.1892delT(p.L631X)mutation is a newly discovered mutation.
