Objective: To analyze the association of participation in non-sports extracurricular tutoring classes with the prevalence of screening myopia, axial length (AL) and axial length to corneal radius ratio (AL/CR) among primary school students, so as to provide evidences for formulating myopia prevention and control policies. Methods: In December 2024, combination of convenience and cluster sampling method was used to select 2 273 students from two primary schools in Hefei City, Anhui Province. Ophthalmic examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted to obtain information on myopia, AL, AL/CR and participation in various types of extracurricular tutoring. A binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between non-sports tutoring and screening myopia, and multiple linear regression models were used to examine the associations between non-sports tutoring and AL and AL/CR. Results: Among the surveyed students, the participation rate in non-sports extracurricular tutoring classes was 64.9% , and the overall prevalence of screening myopia was 39.1%. The average AL and AL/CR were (23.60± 1.01 ) mm and (3.00±0.12), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that students who attended non-sports, music, or academic tutoring classes for ≥2 h per week had higher risks of screening myopia and greater AL/CR values than non-participants (screening myopia: OR =1.38, 1.82, 1.55; AL/CR: β =0.01, 0.03, 0.03; all P <0.05). After adjusting for sex, grade, and participation in sports tutoring, multivariate analysis indicated that participation in non-sports and musical instrument tutoring classes for ≥2 h per week remained significantly associated with higher risks of screening myopia ( OR =1.26, 1.49, both P <0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that participation in musical instrument tutoring for ≥2 h per week was positively correlated with AL ( β=0.14, P < 0.05). Conclusions Participation in non-sports extracurricular tutoring is common among primary school students. Attending non-sports tutoring classes for ≥2 h per week increases the risk of screening myopia.

The Chinese Medical Association was established in 1915 and is an important social force for the development of medical science and technology and health care in China. The Hematology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association was established in 1980. With the support of the association's industry university research platform, it has made achievements such as the "Shanghai Protocol" for acute promyelocytic leukemia and the "Beijing Protocol" for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which have rewritten international guidelines and promoted China's hematology from its inception to international leadership. The article reviews the development process of diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases, with a focus on the key role played by the Chinese Medical Association in the development of hematology in China.

This study was aimed at exploring the epidemic characteristics and spatio-temporal evolution patterns of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)in Henan Province from 2011 to 2022,to provide a reference for prevention and control ef-forts.Data on SFTS in Henan Province from 2011 to 2022 were collected from the Information Management System for Infectious Dis-ease Reporting,and epidemiological characteristics and spatio-temporal evolution patterns were investigated through spatial autocorre-lation analysis,standard deviation ellipse analysis,and spatial-centered transfer curves,on a district-county basis.From 2011 to 2022,a total of 5 471 SFTS cases associated with 81 deaths were reported in Henan Province.The incidence rate showed an increasing trend(χ2trend=23.24,P<0.001),and the average annual incidence was 0.4 677/100 000.The case-fatality rate showed a decreasing trend from 2011 to 2019(χ2trend=8.86,P=0.003),but an increasing trend from 2020 to 2022(χ2trend=12.93,P<0.001).The average an-nual case-fatality rate was 1.48%.The peak incidence period was from May to July;this period accounted for 58.75%of the total cases.Females(59.39%),individuals 60-80 years old(55.40%),and farmers(96.64%)were the high prevalence groups.The disease was distributed primarily in Xinyang City,and Shangcheng County had the highest incidence rate(27.411 8/100 000).Spatial aggregation was observed in the southeastern region(Moran's I>0,P<0.001),and the disease centers were all located in Guangshan County,Xin-yang City,and showed southeast-northwest-southeast-northwest-southeast-northeast-southwest movement during the 12-year pe-riod.In conclusion,from 2011 to 2022,SFTS in Henan Province had a high incidence in May to July,and females,older people,and farmers were the high-risk groups.Spatial aggregation was observed in the southeastern region,along with spread to surrounding areas.Xinyang City is therefore a key area for the prevention and control of SFTS.

Objective To investigate the roles of glucose-regulated protein 75(GRP75)and voltage-dependent anion channel 1(VDAC1)in heroin-induced arrhythmia.Methods Based on transcriptomic data from primary myocardial cells treated with heroin and the GSE31821 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified using R software.Enrichment analysis of DEGs was performed.The protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed using STRING database,and key genes were selected using Cytoscape.Molecular docking of key genes was performed using HDOCK,followed by in vivo valida-tion.A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into control,model,model+7 d,model+14 d,and model+21 d groups.A rat model of heroin addiction was established,and the expression levels of DEGs in myocardial tissue were assessed using immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR.Results A total of 51 DEGs primarily enriched in muscle cell development,myofibrils,actin binding,arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy,calcium signaling,and apoptosis pathways were identified.Based on the PPI and Cytoscape analyses,GRP75 and VDAC1 were identified as key genes.Molecular docking indicated a strong interaction between GRP75 and VDAC1,which form a stable complex.The results of immunohistochemical staining and qRT-PCR showed that the expression levels of GRP75 and VDAC1 were significantly increased in the model group compared to those in the control group(P＜0.05),and their expres-sion increased(P＜0.05)with the intervention period of heroin in a time-dependent manner.Conclusion GRP75 and VDAC1 may con-tribute to heroin-induced arrhythmogenesis.

Objective To explore the role of secreted phosphoprotein 1(SPP1)and myeloid differentiation primary response 88(MYD88)in morphine-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.Methods A morphine addiction model was established in Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats.Twelve SD rats were randomly assigned to the normal saline(NS)group or the morphine-dependent(DAM)group.Histopathological analysis was employed to observe and compare myocardial tissue morphology between the two groups.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL)staining was performed to assess the number of apoptotic cells in each group.The expression levels of SPP1 and MYD88 were evaluated using immunohistochemistry.Quantitative real-time poly merase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of SPP1,MYD88,Bax,Bcl2,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9.Simultaneously,Western blot analysis was used to detected the expression of Cleaved Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase-9 proteins.In vitro,SPP1 expression was knocked down in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes(NRCMs),and cells were divided into three groups:control(CON),morphine treated(DA),and shSPP1#3+DA.Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay,and apoptosis rates were determined by flow cytometry.Results HE and TUNEL staining of myocardial tissues from morphine-addicted SD rats revealed that,compared with the NS group,myofibrils in the DAM group exhibited partial disruption and a significant increase in apoptotic cells(P<0.05).Western blot and RT-qPCR analyses demonstrated that,relative to the NS group,the mRNA and protein levels of SPP1,MYD88,Bax,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9 were significantly upregulated in the DAM group(P<0.05),whereas Bcl2 expression was significantly downregulated at both mRNA and protein levels(P<0.05),and the protein expression levels of Cleaved Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase-9 were also increased.with all differences being statistically significant.In NRCMs following morphine intervention,cell viability in the DA group was markedly reduced compared to the CON group(P<0.05),accompanied by a signifi-cant increase in apoptosis rate(P<0.05).Consistently,Western blot and RT-qPCR results showed elevated mRNA and protein expression of SPP1,MYD88,Bax,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9 in the DA group(P<0.05),along with decreased Bcl2 expression(P<0.05).The protein expression levels of Cleaved Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase-9 were elevated simultaneously.In contrast,the shSPP1#3+DA group exhibited opposing trends compared to the DA group,with statistically sig nificant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion SPP1 and MYD88 play critical roles in mediating morphine-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis,and silencing SPP1 has been shown to significantly reduce the extent of cardiomyocyte apoptosis following morphine exposure.

Dental implantology has developed rapidly for over half a century,since pure titanium(99.7％)dental cylindrical threaded implants were exploited and osseointegration was introduced in 1960s by Prof.Br?nemark.The long term retention rates of 10 years or more are over 95％.However,the biological complications jeopardize the long term effects of dental implant treatment seriously.The prevalence of dental implant biological complications varies greatly among different reports resulting from the disparities on the defini-tions of dental implant biological complications.After analyzing and summarizing the major opinions proposed internationally in recent years,the consensus for the definition of dental implant biological complications has been reached.Generally the dental implant biologi-cal implications can be classified into early stage(before restoration)biological complications and late stage(after restoration)biological complications.The early stage biological complications include acute and chronic infections,pain,soft tissue deficiency,and osseointegration failure,etc.The late stage complications include peri-implant diseases(peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis),soft tissue deficiency around implant,implant loosening and dropping off,etc.The various risk factors related to different dental implant biological complications,the strategies of the prevention and treatment for the dental implant biological complications have been discussed comprehensively,and the consensus has been reached.It is aimed to advocate the dentist to pay more attention to the early prevention of the biological implant complications,to promote more researches on the implant biological complications,and to help elevate the level of dental implantology in our country.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,molecular subtypes,and prognostic factors of diffuse midline glioma(DMG)with H3K27 alterations.Methods Clinical data from 19 patients from DMG were col-lected.The clinical manifestations,histopathological features,immunophenotypes,and molecular genetic characteris-tics were analyzed.Relevant literature was also reviewed.Results Among the 19 patients,12 cases had tumors loca-ted in the thalamus,while 7 cases had tumors in other midline regions(including 4 cases in the brainstem,1 case in the cerebellum,and 2 cases in the spinal cord).Clinical symptoms primarily included dizziness,gait instability,and blurred vision.Histological features were diverse,with 12 cases classified as high-grade gliomas and 7 cases as low-grade.Immunohistochemistry revealed a loss of H3K27me3 expression in all cases,with 18 cases showing diffuse H3K27M positivity and 1 case expressing EZHIP.Of the 16 cases that underwent next-generation sequencing(NGS),1 case showed EGFR mutation(1/16,6％),while the remaining 15 cases had H3F3A K27M mutations(15/16,94％).Among these,7 cases had ATRX mutations(7/15,46.6％),5 cases had MAPK pathway alterations(5/15,33.3％,including 2 cases FGFR1,2 cases NF1,1 case co-mutated with BRAF and NF1),5 cases had PDGFRA mis-sense mutations(5/15,33.3％),4 cases had p53 missense or frameshift deletions(4/15,26.6％).One case each had a DICER1 missense mutation and an IDH1-S202R frameshift deletion(1/15,6.6％).The prognosis was general-ly poor,with a median survival of 9.5 months.Conclusion DMG exhibits high tumor heterogeneity and an overall poor prognosis.The predominant molecular aleration was the H3F3A K27M mutation.Patients with co-altered MAPK pathway showed relatively better outcomes,providing new insights into the molecular genetic characteristics of DMG.

Objective : To explore the factors influencing the efficacy of first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors(EGFR-TKIs) in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma and to construct and validate a corresponding nomogram prediction model. Methods : A total of 220 patients with EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated with icotinib were enrolled and randomly divided into a training group(154 cases) and a validation group(66 cases) in a 7 ∶3 ratio. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting the efficacy of first-generation EGFR-TKIs in the training group. A prediction model was constructed, and calibration curves and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were plotted to validate the model′s performance. Results: In the training group, the objective response rate was 35.71%, the disease control rate was 77.27%, the median progression-free survival(PFS) was 12.5 months, the median overall survival was 18 months, the 2-year OS rate was 66.23%, and the PFS rate was 42.21%. Univariate analysis showed that brain metastasis, bone metastasis, TNM stage, differentiation degree, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), post-treatment p53 levels, p53 difference(Δp53), post-treatment cancer antigen gene(CAGE) levels, and CAGE difference(ΔCAGE) were associated with PFS(P2=4.429, P=0.351). ROC curve analysis in the training group showed that the nomogram model had a sensitivity of 80.00%, specificity of 77.53%, and AUC of 0.864 for predicting therapeutic efficacy, while the validation group showed a sensitivity of 74.08%, specificity of 71.43%, and AUC of 0.835. Conclusion Changes in lung cancer autoantibodies(Δp53 and ΔCAGE), TNM stage, and NLR are key factors influencing the efficacy of first-generation EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma. The nomogram prediction model based on p53 and CAGE demonstrates good predictive performance.

Aim To analyze the correlation between serum retinol-binding protein 4(RBP4),low density lipo-protein cholesterol to albumin ratio(LDLC/Alb),monocyte to high density lipoprotein ratio(MHR)and plaque stability in carotid atherosclerosis population and their predictive value for acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 197 patients with asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis admitted to our hospital from September 2021 to January 2023 were selected for a prospective cohort study,and they were categorized into occurred group and non-occurred group according to whether AIS occurred within 12 months.Baseline information at time of visit,results of the cervical ultrasonography and serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb,MHR levels were compared between the two groups.Spearman/Pearson and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were used to analyze the corr-elation of RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR with carotid atherosclerosis and plaque stability,and the value of predicting AIS in carotid atherosclerosis population.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the calibration ability of serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR to jointly predict AIS in carotid atherosclerosis population.Results The carotid intima-media thickness(IMT)was higher in occurred group than that in non-occurred group.There were more soft plaques and mixed plaques in occurred group than in non-occurred group(P＜0.05).Serum levels of RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR were higher in occurred group than those in non-occurred group(P＜0.05).The correlation analysis showed that the levels of serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR were positively correla-ted with IMT(r=0.803,0.740,0.710)and plaque properties(r=0.736,0.685,0.703)(P＜0.001).ROC curve a-nalysis showed that the AUC of serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR in predicting AIS in carotid atherosclerosis population was 0.796,0.821 and 0.828,respectively,and the AUC of MHR was the largest;the AUC of the combination of serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR was 0.936,which was higher than that of MHR(Z=2.978,P＜0.05),the predictive sensi-tivity and specificity were 88.24％and 87.40％.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that there was no signifi-cant difference between serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb and MHR in predicting AIS and the actual observation value in carotid atherosclerosis population(P＞0.05),and the prediction model had good calibration ability.Conclusion Serum RBP4,LDLC/Alb,and MHR are positively correlated with carotid atherosclerosis and plaque stability,and can predict the occurrence of AIS.Combined detection of the three can be used as a method for early identification of potential high-risk populations for AIS,providing a new,quantifiable guidance scheme for the prevention and treatment of AIS in carotid ath-erosclerotic population.
