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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂） microinjection into the median preoptic nucleus （MnPO） on core body temperature in female mice， and to clarify its underlying mechanism. MethodsMicroinjection cannula were implanted into the MnPO of female mice using stereotaxic surgery.Subsequently， a multi-channel temperature acquisition system was used to simultaneously monitor rectal and brown adipose tissue （BAT） temperatures before and after intra-MnPO injections of different reagents.To investigate the thermoregulatory effects of the microinjection of PGE₂ into the MnPO， 12 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a saline group （n=6） and a PGE₂ group （n=6）， which were injected with 0.1 μL saline and PGE₂ （2.8 mmol/L）， respectively.To determine whether E-series prostaglandin receptor （EP）1， EP3， and EP4 receptors mediate the thermoregulatory effects of PGE₂， 15 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups （n=5 per group）.Mice in each group first received an injection of 0.1 μL PGE2 （2.8 mmol/L） into the MnPO. After their body temperature returned to baseline levels， they were subsequently injected with a mixture of either EP1， EP3 or EP4 antagonist （ant） （20 mmol/L） + PGE2 （2.8 mmol/L）. ResultsCompared with baseline level， the rectal temperature （P<0.01） and BAT temperature （P<0.001） of female mice both increased significantly after microinjection of PGE₂ into the MnPO.Compared with the saline group， the increases in rectal temperature （P<0.001） and BAT temperature （P<0.000 1） were significantly greater in the PGE₂ group of mice.Furthermore， following the injection of PGE₂ into MnPO， the increase in BAT temperature was found to be significantly greater than that in rectal temperature in mice （P<0.001）.Compared to the administration of PGE₂ alone， co-injection of an EP3 ant + PGE₂ into the MnPO of mice resulted in a significantly smaller increase in both rectal temperature （P<0.001） and BAT temperature （P<0.001）.In contrast， the increases in rectal and BAT temperatures following MnPO injection of either EP1 ant + PGE₂ or EP4 ant + PGE₂ were not statistically significant （P>0.05）. ConclusionInjection of PGE₂ into the MnPO elevates BAT and core body temperature in female mice via the EP3 receptor.

ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of human bocavirus (HBoV) in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) at a single-center children’s hospital in Shanghai, thereby providing evidence for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HBoV infection. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 19 537 hospitalized children with ALRTI at Shanghai Children’s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis was used to detect HBoV and 12 other common respiratory viruses /atypical pathogens. The positive detection rate, demographic characteristics (sex, age), temporal distribution (year, season) of HBoV, as well as the clinical characteristics of severe and non-severe pneumonia were analyzed. ResultsThe overall HBoV-positive rate was 2.57% (503/19 537), with 59.44% (299/503) being single infections and 40.56% (204/503) being co-infections. The positive detection rate was significantly higher in boys than that in girls (2.78% vs 2.33%, χ²=3.88, P=0.049). The highest infection rate was observed in toddlers, followed by infants (χ²=379.57, P<0.001). The positive rate peaked in 2021 and reached its lowest point in 2023 (χ²=45.49, P<0.001), with epidemics mainly prevalent in summer and autumn. The main clinical symptoms were cough (90.06%, 453/503), fever (75.94%, 382/503), and wheezing (39.96%, 201/503). Children with severe pneumonia showed a higher incidence of wheezing compared with the non-severe group (P<0.001), while underlying diseases and co-infections had no significant association with disease severity (P>0.05). ConclusionHBoV was an important pathogen of ALRTI in children, predominantly affecting infants and toddlers, with higher susceptibility in boys and seasonal peaks in autumn and summer. The main clinical manifestations included cough, fever, and wheezing, with wheezing being more prevalent in children with severe pneumonia.

AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic intrastromal lenticule implantation combined with corneal collagen cross-linking(CXL)in patients with moderate to advanced keratoconus.METHODS: A retrospective case series analysis was conducted. A total of 19 patients(20 eyes)with moderate to advanced keratoconus who underwent combined allogeneic intrastromal lenticule implantation and CXL at the Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital from June 2021 to December 2023 were included. The uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCVA), thinnest corneal thickness, central corneal epithelial thickness, anterior corneal flat keratometry(Kf), steep keratometry(Ks), and mean keratometry(Km), as well as the first applanation time(A1T), the first applanation length(A1L), the velocity during the first applanation moment(VIN), the second applanation time(A2T), the second applanation length(A2L), the velocity during the second applanation moment(VOUT), highest concavity time(HCT), highest concavity radius(HCR), peak distance(PD), deformation amplitude(DA), stiffness parameter at first applanation(SP-A1), integrated radius(IR), central corneal thickness(CCT), intraocular pressure(IOP), corneal thickness-corrected IOP, biomechanically intraocular pressure IOP(bIOP), and corneal thickness variation rate(ARTH)were compared between the two groups before surgery and at 1 wk, 1, 3 and 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS: All patients successfully completed the surgery without any intraoperative complications. No significant differences were observed between pre-operative and post-operative measurements for UCVA or the corneal biomechanical parameters, including A1L, A2L, PD, A1T, A2T, VIN, VOUT, DA, IOP, and bIOP(all P>0.05). Significant differences were found between pre-operative and post-operative values for corneal thinnest point thickness, central corneal epithelial thickness, Kf, Ks, Km, and the corneal biomechanical parameters, including HCT, HCR, SP-A1, ARTH, IR, and CCT(all P<0.05). The anterior corneal curvature demonstrated an initial increase followed by a decrease post-operatively. Furthermore, significant differences were observed between pre-operative and post-operative values for HCT, HCR, SP-A1, ARTH, IR, and CCT(all P<0.005).CONCLUSION: Allogenic intrastromal lenticule implantation combined with corneal collagen cross-linking demonstrates favorable safety and stability in treating moderate-to-advanced keratoconus. This combined procedure effectively increases corneal thickness and rigidity, resulting in corneas that are more resistant to deformation postoperatively.

OBJECTIVE To innovatively apply the pre-intelligent precision dosing and verification system （hereinafter referred to as “the system”）， and to provide a reference for the high-level “intelligent” transformation of inpatient pharmacy. METHODS The limitations of the triple-serial dispensing mode， which comprised the automatic medicine packaging machine （ATC）， intelligent tablet dispensing table （ITDT） and medication detection machine （MDM）， were analyzed. The application of the system and the adoption of the barcode scanning verification method optimized the pre-dosing management， whole-tablet drug dispensing process and ATC temporary dosing management. The comparative analysis was conducted to assess dosing time， labor cost and packaging error of the eight-month period， before and after the system application. RESULTS The triple-serial dispensing mode had a weak ability to avoid error risks in the manual dosing stage， and also had errors in the verification stage. Through the innovative application system， the pre-dosing management had been upgraded， the whole-tablet drug dispensing process had been optimized， and the ATC temporary dosing management had been improved. The average time required for each drug for pre-dosing， whole-tablet drug dispensing and ATC temporary dosing was significantly shortened after the application of the system， compared with before the application of the system （P＜0.001）. The number of pharmacists was reduced from two to one. The error rate of ATC decreased significantly from 0.220‰ to 0.029‰ （P＜0.001）. Specifically， the rate of pharmacist-related errors （pre-dosing error， ITDT dosing error， and ATC temporary dosing error） decreased from 0.116‰ to 0.001‰ （P＜0.001）， and machine-related errors decreased from 0.096‰ to 0.023‰ （P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS This innovative integration mode greatly improves the working efficiency and quality of inpatient pharmacy. It enhances refined management of drug expiration and inventory， saves time and labor costs， improves the accuracy of drug dispensing， and ensures patient medication safety.

Objective: To explore the correlation between blind box consumption and non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI) among middle school students, so as to provide new theoretical insights for the prevention of NSSI. Methods: Using stratified random cluster sampling method, 2 807 middle school students aged 11-19 years old were selected from Hunan and Gansu provinces from November 2024 to March 2025. The blind box consumption questionnaire and Functional Assessment of Self mutilation Scale were administered to collect data on students blind box consumption frequency, as well as NSSI behavior. The χ 2 test was used to compare differences in the distribution of NSSI across different groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to infer the correlation and gender differences. Results: A total of 15.3% of middle school students reported having at least one NSSI incident in the past year, among which the reported rates of occasional NSSI (1-4 times) and repeated NSSI (≥5 times) were 5.5% and 9.8% respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that there was statistically significant different in NSSI distribution among groups with different blind box consumption frequencies ( χ 2=55.72, P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, school stage, family type, discipline style, pocket money, impulsiveness and emotion management, the results of multiple Logistic regression models showed that compared with the group without blind box consumption, the risks of "occasional NSSI" and "repeated NSSI" were higher in the group with blind box consumption ( OR =1.54, 1.66), and the frequency of blind box consumption(continous variable) was positively correlated with the risks of "occasional NSSI" and "repeated NSSI" among middle school students ( OR =1.26, 1.34)(all P <0.05).After gender stratification, the consumption behavior of blind boxes and the frequency of blind box consumption (continuous variable) of boys and girls were associated with "repeated NSSI"(boys: OR =1.61, 1.32, girls: OR =1.65, 1.35), and only in the male group was a correlation between blind box consumption and "occasional NSSI" observed ( OR =2.27) (all P <0.05). Conclusion Blind box consumption may be related to NSSI among middle school students, and there are gender differences in its correlation with NSSI among middle school students.

OBJECTIVE To explore the APOA5 gene polymorphisms,serum lipase(LPS),soluble programmed death ligand 1(sPD-L1)and procalcitonin(PCT)in the severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)patients with secondary infectious pancreatic necrosis(IPN).METHODS A total of 122 patients with SAP who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from Jan.2020 to Nov.2023 were recruited as the research subjects and were divided into the secondary group with 31 cases and the non-secondary group with 91 cases according to the status of secondary IPN.The APOA5 gene polymorphisms were detected for the two groups of patients by means of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).The levels of LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT as well as Ranson score were compared between he two groups.The association of the serum LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT with Ranson score was observed by Spearman analysis.The value of the joint detection of LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT in diagnosis of secondary IPN in the SAP patients was analyzed by means of receiver oper-ating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS The frequencies of AA genotype and A allele at rs619054 locus of APOA5 gene were higher in the secondary group than in the non-secondary group(P＜0.05),and the frequency of G allele of the secondary group was lower than that of the non-secondary group(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the levels of serum LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT as well as Ranson score between the secondary group and the non-secondary group(P＜0.05).Spearman analysis showed that the Ranson score was positively correlated with the levels of serum LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT(r=0.738,0.701,0.721,P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve(AUC)of the joint detection of the three indexes was higher than that of the single detection in diagnosis of secondary IPN in the SAP patients(P＜0.05),with the sensitivity 90.30％,the specifici-ty 84.60％.CONCLUSIONS The SAP patients with secondary IPN show the high expressions of LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT.The joint detection of the indexes may facilitate the diagnosis of the secondary IPN in the SAP patients.There is association between the levels of LPS,sPD-L1 and PCT and the Ranson score.The rs619054 locus of APOA5 gene may be involved in pathogenesis of secondary IPN in the SAP patients.
