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.

Objective To explore the risk factors of progression to dementia within 2 years in patients with recent subcortical small infarction (RSSI) complicated with cognitive dysfunction. Methods A total of 340 patients with RSSI complicated with cognitive dysfunction who were treated in the hospital and completed 2-year follow-up were selected from February 2021 to February 2025. According to whether the patients progressed to dementia, they were classified into dementia group (n=105) and non-dementia group (n=235). The clinical data were compared between both groups, and the independent risk factors were screened by Logistic regression analysis. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that history of hypertension (OR=1.919), history of diabetes mellitus (OR=1.597), multiple infarctions (OR=1.455), severe white matter lesions (OR=1.595), no cognitive function training (OR=1.923), increased infarct size (OR=1.069), reduced MMSE score (OR=0.945) and increased levels of NfL (OR=1.049) and IL-6 (OR=1.038) were independent risk factors for the progression to dementia (all P<0.05). Conclusion The progression to dementia in patients with recent subcortical small infarction and cognitive dysfunction is affected by multiple factors. In clinical practice, the integration of vascular risk factors, imaging features, cognitive assessment and serum biomarkers (NfL, IL-6) helps to construct an early risk prediction model and implement targeted interventions for high-risk groups.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) activity of luteolin and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. MethodsLuteolin was identified as the primary active compound from the polyphenol extract ofF. diotrys using network pharmacology. Its efficacy was evaluated against two MP strains: the standard strain M129 and the multidrug-resistant strain M19. A modified culture medium with visual characteristics was employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of luteolin. The expression of key proteins involved in MP growth and pathogenicity was assessed by qRT-PCR following luteolin treatment. Additionally, the viability of A549 cells infected with MP was compared between luteolin-treated and untreated groups. In vivo anti-MP activity was evaluated using a mouse model, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissues was analyzed. ResultsLuteolin effectively inhibited both MP strains, with MIC₉₀ values of 100 mg/L for M19 and M129. Treatment with luteolin significantly downregulated the expression of adhesion proteins P1 and P30 in both strains. However, the expression of P65, HMW3, TrmB, and CARDS TX was reduced only in the M19 strain following luteolin intervention. Luteolin also enhanced the growth and viability of A549 cells infected with MP. In the mouse model, luteolin treatment resulted in steady weight gain and was well tolerated. The bacteriostatic rate of luteolin in lung tissues was 50.7%, significantly higher than the 25.2% observed in the roxithromycin group. Furthermore, luteolin reduced the expression of inflammatory factors, including IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1, in MP-infected mice. ConclusionLuteolin effectively and safely inhibits the proliferation and pathogenicity of MP, particularly the drug-resistant M19 strain, by downregulating the expression of toxicity-associated proteins (P1, P30, P65, HMW3, TrmB, CARDS TX) and modulating host inflammatory responses. These findings suggest that luteolin may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for treating MP infections, especially those caused by drug-resistant strains.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have confirmed that Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction can promote the recovery of spinal cord injury by inhibiting pyroptosis of splenic B cells,promoting the phagocytosis of myelin debris by microvascular endothelial cells,affecting the migration and infiltration of microglia,promoting the recovery of damaged neurons,and decreasing neuronal apoptosis after spinal cord injury,but the mechanism of this is still not clear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction on the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways in mice following spinal cord injury. METHODS:Thirty-six C57BL/6 mice were selected and randomly divided into a sham-operation group,a model group and a Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction group,with 12 mice in each group.In the model and Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction groups,mouse models of T10 spinal cord injury were prepared by the modified Allen's method.On the 1st day after modeling,the Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction group was given Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction by gavage,and the sham-operation group and the model group were given saline by gavage once a day for 28 days.During the drug administration period,mouse motor function was evaluated by Basso Mouse Scale score and inclined plane test.On the 7th and 28th days after modeling,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the spinal cord tissue of the mice;immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the protein expression of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1(IBA1)and TREM2;and western blot assay was used to detect the expression of TREM2,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,Bcl2,Bax and Caspase3 in spinal cord tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Basso Mouse Scale scores and inclined plane test results indicated that the motor function of the mouse hindlimbs was declined after spinal cord injury,and Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction significantly improved motor function in mice with spinal cord injury.Hematoxylin-eosin staining results revealed that Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction significantly ameliorated the pathological structure of spinal cord tissue compared with the model group,manifesting as reduced degrees of dorsal white matter and neuronal atrophy,decreased cytoplasmic vacuolization,and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration.Immunofluorescence double staining results showed that on the 7th day after modeling,the protein expression of IBA1 and TREM2 in the model group was lower than that in the sham-operation group(P＜0.05),and the protein expression of IBA1 and TREM2 in the Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction group was higher than that in the model group(P＜0.05);on the 28th day after modeling,the protein expression of TREM2 in the model group was lower than that in the sham-operation group(P＜0.05),and the protein expression of TREM2 in the spinal cord tissue of the mice in the Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction group was higher than that in the model group(P＜0.05).Western blot results analysis demonstrated that on the 7th day after modeling,compared with the sham-operation group,the model group exhibited a significant reduction in TREM2,PI3K,and Bcl2/Bax(P＜0.05),as well as a significant increase in p-Akt,Bax and p-Akt/Aktp-PI3K(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,the Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction group showed a significant increase in TREM2,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,Bcl2,p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Ak,and Bcl2/Bax(P＜0.05),as well as a significant decrease in Bax and Caspase3 protein expression(P＜0.05).On the 28th day after modeling,compared with the sham-operation group,the model group exhibited a significant reduction in TREM2,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,Bcl2 and Bcl2/Bax(P＜0.05),as well as a significant increase in Bax protein expression(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,the Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction group showed a significant increase in TREM2,PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,Bcl2,and Bcl2/Bax(P＜0.05),as well as a significant decrease in Bax protein expression(P＜0.05).To conclude,Wen-Shen-Tong-Du Decoction may activate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by up-regulating the expression of TREM2 protein in microglia,and then inhibit neuronal apoptosis,thus exerting neuroprotective effects and promoting the repair of spinal cord injury.

Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:This study employed a cross-sectional design. The data of 91 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology who underwent DLCT enhanced scanning in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2022 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into LVI positive group and LVI negative group according to the postoperative pathology. Gender, age, smoking status, and lesion location were recorded,the clinical T-stage and N-stage were evaluated. Spectral base data images were generated based on the spectral reconstruction algorithm. Conventional CT features such as the size and density of the lesions were analyzed. The DLCT quantitative parameters such as 40 keV single-energy CT value (CT 40 keV), iodine density (ID), standardized iodine density (NID), and effective atomic number (Z eff) were measured. The differences of parameters between the two groups were compared using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI. The predictive performance of individual parameters and their combinations for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) measurements. Results:There were significant differences in age, T stage, N stage, maximum diameter, focal density, and arteriovenous stage NID and Z eff between the LVI positive group and the LVI negative group ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=0.890, 95% CI 0.821-0.966), N stage( OR=12.721, 95% CI 2.676-60.473) and venous stage Z eff( OR=0.012,95% CI 0-0.668) were independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI ( P<0.05). The combination of age, N stage, and venous-phase Z eff values demonstrated the highest predictive efficacy for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma, with an AUC of 0.916. Conclusions:The quantitative parameters of DLCT are helpful for preoperative prediction of LVI status of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. The Z eff in the venous stage is an independent predictor, the combination of multiple parameters can further improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous trans-hepatic choledochoscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL) in the treatment of recurrent hepatobiliary calculi under enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) mode.Methods:Clinical data of 88 patients with recurrent hepatobiliary calculi, who were treated with PTCSL at Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between June 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 males and 54 females, aged (52.0±13.8) years. The scheme includes preoperative education, prophylactic antibiotic application, ensuring the quality of surgery, early postoperative feeding and activity, etc. The operation can be divided into two fashions: percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage and PTCSL, which can be completed in one stage (one-stage expansion method) or in two stages (staged expansion method). Clinical data such as gender, age, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, residual stone, and surgical complications were recorded.Results:All 88 patients underwent PTCSL under ERAS mode successfully, including 52 cases using one-stage expansion method and 36 cases using staged expansion method. The operative time was (53±20) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (9.7±3.8) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was (3.6±1.7) d, and the hospitalization cost was (17 500±4 700) yuan. Sixty-nine patients (78.4%, 69/88) had one-time stone removal in the first PTCSL. A total of 19 cases of residual stones were managed again by percutaneous sinus soft choledochoscopy, of which 12 cases were managed by one-time choledochoscopy, five cases by two-time choledochoscopy, and two cases by three-time choledochoscopy. The rate of residual stone was significantly higher in one-stage expansion method compared to staged expansion method [28.8% (15/52) vs. 11.1% (4/36), P=0.040]. No death, conversion to open surgery, or severe complications such as intra-abdominal hemorrhage or bile leakage occurred in the patients. No residual stones or recurrence were found during the follow-ups of (7.5±2.1) months after discharge. Conclusion:PTCSL under ERAS mode is safe and effective in the treatment of recurrent hepatobiliary calculi.
