ObjectiveThe widespread adoption of portable fundus cameras for primary care and community screening is hindered by limitations in current autofocus(AF) technologies. Image-based methods relying on sharpness evaluation require iterative searches, resulting in slow convergence, while projection-based techniques are susceptible to optical artifacts and calibration errors. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel AF system based on direct wavefront sensing, designed to deliver simultaneous high speed, high precision, and operational robustness within the compact form factor essential for portable ophthalmic devices. MethodsOur approach fundamentally reimagines the AF process by directly measuring the ocular wavefront aberration. We developed a custom portable fundus camera integrating a miniaturized Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS) into the optical path. An 850 nm laser diode projects a point source onto the retina via oblique illumination to minimize corneal reflections. Light scattered from this spot carries the eye’s refractive error through the imaging optics and is directed to the SHWS, positioned at a plane optically conjugate to the primary color CMOS imaging sensor. A microlens array within the SHWS samples the incident wavefront, generating a pattern of focal spots on a CCD. Real-time centroid analysis of these spots provides a map of local wavefront slopes. These measurements are processed through a singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm to fit a Zernike polynomial basis set, enabling real-time reconstruction of the wavefront phase. The defocus component (S) is extracted from the second-order Zernike coefficients, providing a direct, quantitative measure of the refractive error in diopters. This value serves as a precise error signal in a closed-loop control system, which commands a voice-coil actuated focusing lens to its null position in a single, deterministic step, eliminating the need for iterative search algorithms. ResultsComprehensive evaluation demonstrated the system’s high performance. Testing on a calibrated model eye (OEMI-7) established a highly linear relationship between the computed defocus S and the focusing lens position across a ±20 Diopter (D) compensation range, achievable within a 5 mm mechanical travel. The system achieved a focusing precision of 0.08 D, corresponding to an 18-fold improvement over a conventional projection spot-size method tested under identical conditions. The total focus acquisition time, encompassing wavefront measurement, computation, and lens actuation, averaged under 0.5 s. Clinical validation with 25 human volunteers (50 eyes, refractive range -15 D to +10 D) confirmed practical efficacy. The wavefront-sensing AF succeeded in 92% of attempts with a mean time of 0.5 s, substantially outperforming a projection-based benchmark which achieved only a 32% success rate with an average time of 4.25 s. The system provided instantaneous directional guidance and maintained stability during minor ocular movements. Objective assessment of image quality, via amplitude contrast of retinal vasculature, showed consistent and significant enhancement following AF correction across the entire tested diopter range. ConclusionThis work successfully implements and validates a direct wavefront-sensing autofocus paradigm for portable fundus cameras. By directly quantifying and compensating for the optical defocus aberration, this method bypasses the fundamental limitations of image-processing and projection-based techniques, enabling rapid, precise, and deterministic diopter compensation. The developed system delivers an exceptional combination of a wide operational range (±20 D), high accuracy (0.08 D), fast convergence (0.5 s), and a compact physical footprint. This technology provides a practical and high-performance focusing solution capable of enhancing the reliability, throughput, and diagnostic utility of portable retinal imaging in large-scale screening applications. Future efforts will be directed towards system cost optimization and performance adaptation for diverse ocular conditions.

Background Shift work is increasingly common in modern industries as economic globalization continues to advance, and has been associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective To investigate the independent and interactive effects of shift work types and physical labor intensity on the risk of T2DM within an occupational cohort of petroleum workers, aiming to provide a scientific basis for reducing the risk of T2DM among workers engaged in shift work and physical labor. Methods This cohort study enrolled petroleum workers who underwent occupational health examinations at Karamay Central Hospital in Xinjiang from 2013 to 2015. Using stratified sampling, employees aged 20–60 years who had been actively employed and had been working in their current positions for at least one year were selected. A total of 3720 participants completed the baseline questionnaire survey and health examination, and follow-up was conducted in 2023. T2DM was diagnosed according to the 2020 Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. Shift work type was categorized into fixed day shift, two-shift rotation, three-team two-shift rotation, four-team three-shift rotation, and other shift schedules. Physical labor intensity was classified as light, moderate, heavy, and extremely heavy according to the Classification of Physical Labor Intensity for Petroleum Field Operations (SY/T 6358—2008). Poisson regression models were used to estimate the associations of shift work type, physical labor intensity, and their joint exposure categories with T2DM risk after adjustment for potential confounders. Results A total of 3473 participants completed follow-up. Poisson regression analysis showed that shift work type was associated with T2DM risk. After adjustment for confounders, compared with fixed day shift workers, those engaged in two-shift rotation, three-team two-shift rotation, four-team three-shift rotation, and other shift schedules had higher risks of T2DM, with RRs of 2.17 (95%CI: 1.44, 3.27), 1.86 (95%CI: 1.16, 2.97), 1.85 (95%CI: 1.17, 2.93), and 2.15 (95%CI: 1.20, 3.88), respectively. T2DM risk also differed across physical labor intensity groups, with the extremely heavy group showing the highest risk (RR=2.26, 95%CI: 1.44, 3.56), followed by the heavy group (RR=1.91, 95%CI: 1.29, 2.82). Compared with workers exposed to fixed day shift + light intensity, increased T2DM risks were observed in those exposed to fixed day shift + heavy intensity (RR=2.38, 95%CI: 1.16, 4.72) or extremely heavy intensity (RR=2.64, 95%CI: 1.13, 5.82); two-shift rotation + light (RR=2.71, 95%CI: 1.11, 6.14), moderate (RR=3.38, 95%CI: 1.43, 7.34), heavy (RR=3.61, 95%CI: 1.52, 7.84), or extremely heavy intensity (RR=4.93, 95%CI: 1.87, 11.12); three-shift two-team rotation + light (RR=2.75, 95%CI: 1.14, 6.19), moderate (RR=3.08, 95%CI: 1.14, 7.51), or heavy/extremely heavy intensity (RR=4.06, 95%CI: 1.77, 8.50); four-shift three-team rotation + heavy/extremely heavy intensity (RR=3.89, 95%CI: 1.78, 7.84); and other shift types + heavy/extremely heavy intensity (RR=4.57, 95%CI: 1.55, 11.30). Conclusion This study demonstrates that various types of shift work significantly increase the risk of T2DM, and that concurrent exposure to high physical labor intensity exacerbates this risk. Regular blood glucose monitoring and targeted health interventions are recommended for workers exposed to rotating shift schedules and high physical work intensity.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective:To investigate the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by using PET/MR imaging. Methods:From June 2019 to December 2022, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 134 patients ((65.5±10.0) years) with prostate diseases who underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MR whole-body examination at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, with the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level continuously rising to >4μg/L within 1 month and not yet receiving treatment. Patients were divided into 2 groups (PSA<10μg/L and PSA≥10μg/L). The PET/MR examination included high b-value diffusion imaging, and the ROI was delineated based on the prostate diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) high-signal area and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) low-signal area by the professional radiology physician. The SUV max, mean kurtosis (MK), and mean diffusivity (MD) were obtained. Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed, and ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy. Results:Of 134 patients, 72 were with PSA<10μg/L and 62 were with PSA≥10μg/L. There were 68 patients who obtained biopsy results, including 37 cases of BPH and 31 cases of PCa. In PSA<10μg/L group, there were no significant correlations between MK and SUV max, MK and PSA ( rs values: 0.22, 0.06, P values: 0.065, 0.603). In the PSA≥10μg/L group, there were positive correlations between MK and SUV max, MK and PSA ( rs values: 0.52, 0.40, P values: 0.008, 0.005). In the PSA<10μg/L group, SUV max, MK, and MD showed no diagnostic value (AUCs: 0.44-0.67, all P>0.05), while the AUC for combined diagnosis using these three parameters was 0.78( P=0.008). In the PSA≥10μg/L group, the AUCs of SUV max, MK, and MD were 0.81( P=0.001), 0.84( P<0.001) and 0.72( P=0.023) respectively, and the AUC for combined diagnosis using these three parameters was 0.91( P<0.001). Conclusion:The combination of MK, MD and SUV max improves the diagnostic efficacy of PCa in PET/MR examination.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.

Cilia,as cellular sensory organelles,actively partici-pate in and regulate cellular processes such as autophagy and metabolic breakdown during their generation and transportation.Autophagy,on the other hand,is a cell self-protection mecha-nism that maintains cellular homeostasis by clearing aggregates and damaged organelles.Combining recent research findings,this review comprehensively elucidates the bidirectional crosstalk between primary cilia and autophagy.Specifically,it highlights the crucial role of cilia-dependent signaling pathways in activa-ting cellular autophagy and how autophagy regulates cilia genera-tion and length by degrading specific ciliary proteins.Moreover,the dysregulation of primary cilia and autophagy is closely asso-ciated with the clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of vari-ous ciliopathy-related diseases such as polycystic kidney disease and tuberous sclerosis.In terms of pharmacotherapy,this review provides a comprehensive and in-depth overview of small mole-cule inhibitors targeting ciliogenesis,including cytoskeletal drugs and Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitors.Despite the current limitations in clinical use,these drugs lay the groundw-ork for developing highly specific targeted small molecule inhibi-tors of ciliogenesis and for the treatment of ciliopathies and canc-ers.By systematically discussing ciliogenesis,autophagy,disea-ses and drugs,this review offers new insights for further elucida-ting the crosstalk between ciliogenesis and autophagy,exploring their pathological mechanisms in disease development,and de-veloping therapeutic strategies in the future.
