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 contamination status of ochratoxin A (OTA) in commercially available food products in Shanghai, and to assess OTA exposure levels and the associated non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks among pregnant women by integrating dietary consumption data of this population. MethodsThe levels of OTA contamination in 1 520 food samples collected in Shanghai from 2022 to 2023 were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. An exposure assessment model was developed based on the dietary consumption levels of pregnant women from the 2016‒2017 Shanghai Pregnant Women Dietary Monitoring Survey to calculate the estimated daily intake (EDI) of OTA, the margin of exposure for non-carcinogenic toxicity (MOE₁), and the margin of exposure for carcinogenic toxicity (MOE₂). An MOE₁ greater than 200 and an MOE₂ greater than 10 000 indicate that the non-carcinogenic toxicity and carcinogenic toxicity resulting from exposure are negligible, respectively. For samples with OTA contamination levels below the limit of detection (LOD), which accounted for more than 80% of the samples, the OTA levels were assigned values of 0 and LOD, respectively, for subsequent calculations. ResultsThe detection rates of OTA in cereals, nuts, dried fruits, and alcohol samples collected in 2022 were 2.03%, 0, 0, and 0, respectively. The OTA detection rates in cereals, nuts, dried fruits, beans, and alcohol samples collected in 2023 were 2.50%, 0.39%, 2.47%, 1.67%, and 13.33%, respectively. For pregnant women in Shanghai in 2022, simulation results indicated that when assigning a value of 0 and the LOD, theP₅₀ values of EDI for dietary OTA exposure were 0.05 and 0.72 ng·(kg·d)^-1, respectively, and the P₉₅ values of EDI for dietary OTA exposure were 0.25 and 2.40 ng·(kg·d)^-1, respectively. For pregnant women in Shanghai in 2023, the P₅₀ values of EDI for dietary OTA exposure were 0.04 and 1.00 ng·(kg·d)^-1, respectively, and the P₉₅ values of EDI for dietary OTA exposure were 0.23 and 2.67 ng·(kg·d)^-1, respectively, both substantially below the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for OTA [17 ng·(kg·d)^-1]. The EDI for dietary OTA exposure in 100.0% of Shanghai pregnant women was lower than the TDI, indicating an overall low level of dietary OTA exposure among this population. For 100.0% of pregnant women, the MOE₁ for dietary OTA exposure exceeded 200. When assigned a value of 0, the MOE₂ for 100.0% of pregnant women in both 2022 and 2023 exceeded10 000. When assigned the LOD value, 72.3% and 81.8% of pregnant women in 2022 and 2023, respectively, had an MOE₂ exceeding 10 000. ConclusionFrom 2022 to 2023, samples of cereals, nuts, dried fruits, beans, and alcohol sold in Shanghai exhibited varying degrees of OTA contamination. The overall EDI of OTA exposure among pregnant women in Shanghai remained at a low level. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with OTA exposure were generally low and at controllable levels.

Objective:To describe the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in people living with HIV in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, and identify the factors associated with NAFLD in this population.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 2021 to 2023. Based on the routine follow-up management of people living with HIV, liver ultrasound examination, physical examination and laboratory test were conducted to collect the information about the diagnosis of NAFLD and biochemical indicators in this population. Logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with the prevalence of NAFLD.Results:In the 2 550 study participants, the prevalence of NAFLD was 21.5% (548/2 550), abnormal liver function was found in 23.7% (604/2 550) of the study participants, and liver fibrosis was found in 45.2% (1 152/2 550) of the study participants. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that being women (a OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.42-0.73), being overweight or obese (a OR=3.22, 95% CI: 2.59-4.01), having diabetes (a OR=3.37, 95% CI: 2.15-5.29), having dyslipidemia (a OR=2.96, 95% CI: 2.25-3.89), CD4 + T lymphocyte (CD4) counts <200 cells/μl (a OR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.42-0.88), and receiving Efavirenz (EFV) + Lamivudine (3TC) + Zidovudine (AZT) for antiretroviral therapy (ART)(a OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.17-1.98) were associated with NAFLD. NAFLD was positively associated with abnormal liver function (a OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.60-2.52) and inversely associated with liver fibrosis (a OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.59-0.98). The 45-59 age group (a OR=7.05, 95% CI: 5.65-8.80), CD4 counts <200 cells/μl (a OR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.06-1.97) and receiving Nevirapine (NVP)+3TC+AZT of ART (a OR=1.87,95% CI: 1.44-2.43) were the main factors associated with liver fibrosis. Conclusions:The prevalence of NAFLD in people living with HIV Taizhou was more than 20.0%, with a significant proportion of them having abnormal liver function and liver fibrosis. Being overweight or obese, suffering from diabetes, having dyslipidemia, low CD4 counts, and receiving specific ART were associated with NAFLD. NAFLD, CD4 counts and specific ART were the main factors associated with abnormal liver function and liver fibrosis.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and analyze the factors associated with prognosis.Methods:A case series study was conducted by retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients aged over 60 years with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ DLBCL across 20 medical centers in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2010 and April 2023. The involved site, classification and treatment plan were summarized. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model.Results:The study included 255 patients with a median age of 69 years, of whom 130 (51.0%) were male, 66 (25.9%) were aged ≥75 years and 26 (10.1%) had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score of ≥2. Extranodal involvement was observed in 163 (63.9%) patients, with the stomach (37.4%, 61/163), intestine (19.0%, 31/163), testes (11.0%, 18/163), and breast (7.4%, 12/163) being the most frequently affected sites. The non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype was prevalent in 63.7% of patients (142/223), with no significant difference between the nodal and extranodal groups ( P=0.681). Furthermore, 73.9% (184/249) and 11.7% (29/249) of patients received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and R-miniCHOP regimen, respectively. The overall 3-year PFS rate was 81.5%, and the 3-year OS rate was 85.6%. Patients aged ≥75 years ( HR=2.910, 95% CI 1.565-5.408, P=0.001) and/or with a CCI score ≥2 ( HR=2.324, 95% CI 1.141-4.732, P=0.020) had a significantly poorer PFS. Incorporating age ≥75 years and CCI score ≥2 into the stage-modified international prognostic index (sm-IPI) can better stratify the prognosis of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL. The 3-year PFS rate was 48.7% in the high-risk group versus 85.7% in the low-risk group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings show that the elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL were predominantly characterized by extranodal involvement (particularly in the stomach and intestinal tract) and non-GCB subtype. Age ≥75 years and CCI ≥2 were identified as independent prognostic factors. The newly established sm-IPI-75-CCI incorporating these factors demonstrated superior prognostic discrimination compared to conventional risk assessment systems.

OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of combined detection of droplet digital polymerase chain reaction(ddPCR),C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)for bacterial bloodstream infections.METHODS Patients with suspected bloodstream infections admitted to Jiangbin Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from Jan.2023 to Jun.2024 were selected as the study subjects,with a total of 993 specimens from 543 patients included.Based on ddPCR and blood culture(BC)results,the pa-tients were divided into BC+and/or ddPCR+group(424 specimens)and ddPCR-/BC-group(569 specimens).The bacterial species detected by ddPCR were further classified into single infection group(258 speci-mens),mixed infection group(160 specimens)and ddPCR-group(575 specimens).The levels of CRP,PCT and NLR were compared among the groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ddPCR,CRP,PCT and NLR separately and in combination for bacterial bloodstream in-fections.RESULTS The levels of CRP,PCT and NLR in the BC+and/or ddPCR+group were 71.61(37.00,108.81)mg/L,1.74(0.47,7.93)ng/ml and 9.82(5.53,18.07),respectively,which were higher than those in the ddPCR-/BC-group(P＜0.001).I n the ddPCR mixed infection group,the levels of CRP and PCT were 88.02(42.90,112.39)mg/L and 2.83(0.89,12.35)ng/ml,respectively,which were higher than those in the single infection group(P＜0.05).The qualitative results of ddPCR were better at predicting bloodstream infec-tions(OR=15.279,95％CI:6.525～35.776,P＜0.001).According to ROC curve analysis,ddPCR had the lar-gest area under the curve(AUC)among the single detection indicator(0.759),followed by PCT(0.732).The AUC for the combination of ddPCR qualitative results with CRP,PCT and NLR was 0.830,indicating that the di-agnostic performance of the combined detection was better than that of any single indicator.CONCLUSIONS The combination of ddPCR with PCT,CRP and NLR can improve the accuracy of diagnosing bacterial bloodstream in-fections.Compared with BC,ddPCR has higher sensitivity and can quickly identify the types and concentrations of pathogens in bloodstream infections.

AIM To investigate the protective effects of the aqueous extract of Bulbophyllum kwangtungense Schltr.on D-galactose(D-gal),an oxidative stress-induced liver damage in rats.METHODS 60 Male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group,the model group,the resveratrol group(20 mg/kg),and low-dose,medium-dose,and high-dose B.kwangtungense aqueous extract groups(750,1 500 and 3 000 mg/kg).Except for those of the normal control group,the rats of the other groups were subcutaneously injected with D-gal(200 mg/kg)in the back of neck to establish a liver damage model.Simultaneously,each group underwent the corresponding drug administration by gavage(10 mL/kg)once daily for 42 days.After the treatment period,the rats had their peripheral blood and liver tissues collected for the calculation of the liver index;their serum AST and ALT activities,hepatic SOD and GSH-Px activities,and MDA levels measured;their hepatic pathological changes observed using HE staining;their hepatic mRNA expressions of Nrf2,NQO-1 and HO-1 detected by RT-qPCR;and their hepatic protein expressions of Nrf2,NQO-1,HO-1,Bax,Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3 measured by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with medium-dose or high-dose B.kwangtungense aqueous extract showed increased liver index level(P＜0.01);decreased serum AST and ALT activities(P＜0.01);increased hepatic SOD and GSH-Px activities(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);reduced MDA levels(P＜0.01);alleviated pathological liver damage and increased hepatic mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2,NQO-1 and HO-1(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and reduced protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3 and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio as well(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION The aqueous extract of B.kwangtungense is protective of rats with D-gal-induced liver injury,and the underlying mechanism may associate with the inhibition of oxidative stress and the suppression of hepatocellular apoptosis mediated by the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO-1 signaling pathway.

Conventional surgical management of pelvic fractures entails incision and reduction with internal fixation, a procedure associated with significant bleeding, trauma, and a high surgical risk. The advent of advanced imaging techniques and sophisticated surgical instruments has led to a paradigm shift towards minimally invasive surgery as the prevailing treatment modality for such injuries. The efficacy of reduction is pivotal in determining the clinical prognosis of pelvic fractures, underscoring the importance of enhancing the quality of reduction in the minimally invasive surgery. The advent of 3D printing technology, intelligent orthopaedic surgical robots, mixed reality augmentation technology and high-precision optical localization tracking has catapulted minimally invasive pelvic fracture reduction to the forefront of research in the field of orthopaedics. Studies have demonstrated encouraging outcomes. This paper reviews relevant literature, mainly focusing on the evaluation and measurement, open reduction techniques, minimally invasive closed reduction techniques, and surgical robot assisted reduction techniques in treatment of pelvic fractures, to summarize the technical research progress in minimally invasive closed surgical reduction for pelvic fractures.

Pelvic fractures, the most severe bone trauma, account for approximately 3% of all fractures. As they are caused by high-energy injuries, their rates of mortality and disability are high. Over the past two centuries, the treatment strategies for these fractures have evolved from conservative therapy to open reduction and plate fixation, then to closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation, and recently to screw fixation assisted by artificial intelligence. In the past 40 years, constant progress has been made in the treatment of pelvic fractures. It is generally acknowledged that a personalized treatment plan should be formulated based on each patient's age, fracture type, comorbidities, functional requirements and other factors when an appropriate treatment mode is chosen. The primary aim of treatment is to accelerate functional recovery, decrease the rate of disability after injury, and improve the quality of daily life of the patient. This paper reviews the treatment history of pelvic fractures, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of current treatment options, and looks ahead to future prospects, aiming to offer valuable references for related clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ascites grading and the application of non-selective beta-blockers (NSBBs) on the 1-year prognosis of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods:1 386 ascitic cases with ACLF were graded and followed up for one year. The 1-year prognostic effect of ascites grade and NSBBs was analyzed on ACLF by the Kaplan Meier Log-rank test, Cox stepwise regression, and multivariate regression.The t-test, Mann-Whitney U, or Kruskal-Wallis test were used for intergroup comparison of measurement data. The χ2 test was used for intergroup comparison of numerical data. Results:The incidence rate of ascites at admission was 77.56% in 1 386 ACLF cases. The Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) of the 1-year survival curve test for 1 386 ACLF patients with ascites grade was 21.384, P<0.01. Multivariate regression and Cox stepwise regression analysis showed that ascites grade, age, gastrointestinal bleeding, pulmonary infection, acute kidney injury, prothrombin activity (PTA), urea, MELD-Na score, and the use of NSBBs were closely related to the 1-year prognosis of ACLF. The log rank (Mantel-Cox) of NSBBs treatment in the grade 2/3 ascites group was 6.113, P=0.013, and the difference was statistically significant, suggesting that NSBBs treatment can help improve the 1-year survival rate in ACLF patients with grade 2 and 3 ascites. Conclusions:Ascites grading and the use of NSBBs affect the prognostic factor of ACLF at one year. NSBBs may be beneficial for the long-term prognosis of ACLF, and treatment can be continued in patients who have already received NSBBs prior to the onset of ACLF.
