In recent years, the prevalence of myopia has continued to rise, with an expanding affected population, making it a significant public health challenge both in China and globally. Elongation of the axial length in myopic eyes can induce a series of pathological changes in intraocular structure and function, increasing the risk of blinding ocular diseases such as retinal pathologies. Since myopia is difficult to reverse once established, scientific intervention is necessary to control its progression and reduce the likelihood of ocular complications. As a current research focus in myopia control, the clinical application of orthokeratology lenses has attracted considerable attention. This article highlights that orthokeratology lenses, worn overnight, reshape the corneal curvature and create a myopic defocus signal in the peripheral retina. This mechanism effectively inhibits excessive axial elongation and slows myopia progression. Clinical evidence indicates that orthokeratology can reduce axial elongation by 30% to 50%, accompanied by a short-term increase in choroidal thickness. This article also analyzes the advantages and limitations of orthokeratology and explores its potential synergistic effects when combined with other interventions such as low-dose atropine. The aim is to provide key theoretical and practical references for clinical myopia control.

ObjectiveTo explore the complex network relationships among pain, kinesiophobia, social participation and knee function in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to analyze the moderating effects of different socio-structural factors on the rehabilitation network from an ethical equity perspective. MethodsA convenience sampling method was used to select 291 patients who underwent TKA in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from May to July, 2023. Pain was assessed using Numerical Rating Scale, kinesiophobia with Chinese short version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, social participation with Impact on Participation and Autonomy Questionnaire, and knee function with Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score. A partial correlation network among pain, kinesiophobia, social participation and knee function was constructed using Graphical Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator. Key variables were identified through node centrality and bridge centrality analysis. Network Comparison Tests (NCT) were used to analyze network differences among subgroups based on different socio-structural characteristics. ResultsIn the network model, the nodes with the highest strength centrality were indoor participation, activity behavior and activity pain. Bridge centrality analysis indicated that activity pain, knee function, indoor participation and activity cognition were key bridge nodes. NCT revealed no significant differences in overall network structure or global strength among subgroups based on residence, education level or payment method (P > 0.05). However, significant differences in edge weights were found for specific edges such as activity cognition-activity behavior and knee function-indoor participation (P < 0.05). ConclusionThere is a network of interactions among pain, kinesiophobia, social participation and knee function in patients after TKA, with nodes such as indoor participation and activity pain playing key roles in the rehabilitation process. Although the overall rehabilitation network is similar across different socio-structural groups, variations exist in specific relational pathways among patients from rural areas, those with lower education levels, and those with out-of-pocket payment. This suggests that clinical rehabilitation interventions should focus on these core nodes and implement targeted support strategies for socio-structurally disadvantaged groups to promote rehabilitation equity.

Objective To preliminary explore the imaging manifestations of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with different levels of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on TNBC patients who underwent preoperative DBT or CEM examinations at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019 and Shanghai Second People’s Hospital from January 2022 to May 2025. Clinical data, pathological and immunohistochemical results, and imaging data were collected. Results A total of 69 TNBC patients pathologically confirmed as invasive ductal carcinoma were included, among which 34 underwent DBT and 35 underwent CEM. Among these patients, 34 (49.28%) had HER2-low expression and 35 (50.72%) had HER2-zero expression. DBT results showed that the proportion of spiculation signs in HER2-low group (n=14) was significantly higher than that in HER2-zero group (n=20; P=0.009, Padj=0.045). However, there were no significant differences in breast density type, mass shape, or calcification between the two groups. CEM results showed that on low-energy images, the proportion of spiculation signs in the HER2-low group (n=20) was higher than that in the HER2-zero group (n=15; P=0.011, Padj=0.077). Results of CEM showed that on reconstructed images, differences in background parenchymal enhancement and mass enhancement patterns between the two groups were not statistically significant; in both groups, heterogeneous enhancement was the most common, followed by homogeneous enhancement, with ring enhancement being the least common. Conclusions TNBC with low HER2 expression and TNBC with zero HER2 expression may have potential differences in the presentation of spiculation signs on DBT. However, the correlation between CEM manifestations and TNBC with different HER2 expression levels requires further research.

ObjectiveTo analyze the factors influencing meropenem-related liver injury (MRLI) and to explore their clinical predictive value. MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted, and the Chinese Hospital Pharmacovigilance System (CHPS) was used to establish a retrieval scheme. A total of 1 625 hospitalized cases using meropenem from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected. Patients were divided into case group (n=62) and control group (n=1 563) based on the presence or absence of liver injury. Clinical data and laboratory indicators from both groups were collected and analyzed. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between the two groups, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data not conforming to a normal distribution. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors for MRLI. A Logistic regression equation was established, and the predictive value of these factors was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. ResultsThe results of univariate analysis indicated that the rates of male patients, hypoproteinemia, shock, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, sepsis, and liver, gallbladder, and cardiovascular diseases, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and procalcitonin (PCT), and the number of hospitalization days were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (P<0.05), and that the platelet levels in the case group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR]=2.080, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.050 — 4.123, P=0.036), admission to the ICU (OR=8.207, 95%CI: 4.094 — 16.453, P<0.001), comorbidity with gallbladder disease (OR=8.240, 95%CI: 3.605 — 18.832, P<0.001), ALP (OR=1.012, 95%CI: 1.004 — 1.019, P=0.004), GGT (OR=1.010, 95%CI: 1.005 — 1.015, P<0.001), and PLT (OR=0.997, 95%CI: 0.994 — 0.999, P=0.020) were the influential factors for MRLI. The areas under the ROC curve of ALP, GGT, and PLT were 0.589, 0.637, and 0.595, respectively, and the AUC of them combined was 0.837. ConclusionMale sex, ICU admission, comorbidity with gallbladder disease, increased ALP, increased GGT, and decreased PLT were influencing factors for MRLI, and a combination of factors has a better predictive value for the occurrence of MRLI.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the ethical governance of AI has gained increasing attention. The Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence was issued by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2021, which clarified several principles for the ethical governance of AI. In the field of rehabilitation medicine, the research and application of AI technology have significantly improved patients’ quality of life and survival. However, due to the specificity of the service population in rehabilitation medicine, which is mostly for the sick, injured, disabled, and elderly, a series of complex ethical issues have also arisen. This paper analyzed in detail the ethical issues and challenges encountered in the research and application of AI technology in the field of rehabilitation medicine from various aspects, such as informed consent, security of privacy and data, patients’ physical and mental rehabilitation, compliance regulation, protection of specific groups, and promotion of equity. According to the principles of the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and others, response strategies were proposed, including multi-party collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation, improving and refining relevant laws and regulations, strengthening ethical education across society, establishing accountability mechanisms, increasing investment, promoting equity, and other measures, to promote the healthy development of research and application of AI technology in the field of rehabilitation, as well as benefit humanity.
