ObjectiveTo explore the expression levels of long non-coding RNA （lncRNA） H19 and microRNA-22-3p （miR-22-3p） in the serum of patients with acute myocardial infarction （AMI） and their diagnostic value for AMI. MethodsA total of 176 AMI patients were selected as the experimental group and were divided into ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction （STEMI） group （n=95） and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction （NSTEMI） group （n=81） based on their medical history and electrocardiogram. Meanwhile， 156 patients with negative angiography during the same period were selected as the control group （CON group）. The relative expression levels of lncRNA H19 and miR-22-3p in the serum of the two groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The diagnostic value of miR-22-3p and lncRNA H19 in AMI was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve （ROC） analysis. The levels of serum cardiac troponin I （cTnI）， creatine kinase （CK）， creatine kinase MB isoenzyme （CK-MB）， and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein （CRP） were detected in all study subjects. Spearman correlation analyses were used to evaluate the correlations between lncRNA H19 and miR-22-3p and cTnI， CK， CK-MB and CRP. ResultsCompared with the control group， the expression level of lncRNA H19 was upregulated and the expression level of miR-22-3p was downregulated in the AMI group （all P<0.01）； compared with the NSTEMI group， the expression level of lncRNA H19 was upregulated and the expression level of miR-22-3p was downregulated in the STEMI group （P<0.01）. The areas under the ROC curves （AUC） for the diagnosis of AMI by miR-22-3p， lncRNA H19 and their combination were 0.555， 0.977， and 0.983， respectively. lncRNA H19 was positively correlated with cTnI， CK， CK-MB and CRP （P<0.05）， and negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） （P<0.001）； miR-22-3p was negatively correlated with cTnI， CK and CRP， and positively correlated with LVEF （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe expression level of lncRNA H19 is elevated and the expression level of miR-22-3p decreased in AMI patients， and their levels may have potential value as an auxiliary biomarker for AMI diagnosis and cardiac function assessment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanisms related to angiogenesis during the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsAngiogenesis-related genes were obtained from the Gencard website and intersected with differentially expressed genes from DR datasets （GSE60436 and GSE94019）. Functional enrichment and protein-protein interaction （PPI） networks were then used to screen candidate genes and evaluate their diagnostic value. Gene set enrichment analysis （GSEA） was used to explore potential pathways underlying candidate genes， and immune infiltration analysis revealed associations between candidate genes and immune cells. Cellular experiments were conducted to validate the role of fibronectin 1 （FN1） in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells （HRMECs） under high glucose （HG） conditions. ResultsA total of 237 differentially expressed genes related to angiogenesis were identified， enriched in pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway （PI3K-Akt）， tumor suppressor protein 53 （P53）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， and Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway （STAT）. Among them， collagen type I alpha 1 chain （COL1A1）， COL1A2， FN1， TNF， and tumor protein p53 （TP53） were key genes with high diagnostic value. GSEA indicated that these genes were involved in multiple signaling pathways， including P53. CIBERSORTx analysis revealed significant associations with the infiltration of multiple immune cells. HG treatment led to the upregulation of FN1. In HG-induced HRMECs， compared with the si-NC control group， si-FN1 significantly reduced cell proliferation， migration， and tube formation， while P53 protein expression was increased. ConclusionThis study reveals the important role of FN1 in angiogenesis in DR and suggests that it may be a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA） rs2010963 and rs3025039 polymorphisms on chemotherapy toxicities and clinical prognosis in children with brain tumors. MethodsA total of 104 pediatric patients with brain tumors receiving standardized chemotherapy were enrolled. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry was used for VEGFA rs2010963 and rs3025039 genotyping. The χ² test was applied to analyze the association between genotypes and chemotherapy‑related toxicities. Cox regression was used to evaluate the correlations of clinicopathological characteristics and genotypes with the progression‑free survival （PFS）. In addition， bioinformatic analyses were conducted to investigate the regulatory factors potentially affected by the two SNP loci. ResultsThe VEGFA expression in brain tumors （5.17±1.81） was significantly higher than that in normal tissues （4.33±1.56， P<0.001）. Patients with high VEGFA expression had significantly worse overall survival than patients with low VEGFA expression （P<0.001）. Among the 104 children with brain tumors included， the rs2010963 CC， CG， and GG genotypes accounted for 14.42%， 55.77%， and 29.81%， respectively. The frequencies of C and G alleles were 42.31% and 57.69%， respectively. The rs3025039 CC， CT， and TT genotypes accounted for 70.19%， 25.96%， and 3.85%， respectively. The frequencies of C and T alleles were 83.17% and 16.83%， respectively. The children with the rs3025039 CC genotype had significantly higher incidences of thrombocytopenia （46.58%） and gastrointestinal toxicity （56.16%） than CT genotype carriers （22.22% and 33.33%， respectively， P<0.05）， and significantly lower incidences of coagulation disorders （4.11%） than TT genotype carriers （50.00%， P<0.05）.The incidence of hyperlipidemia （2.74%） was significantly lower than that in the CT genotype carriers （14.82%， P<0.05）. The tumor type and the rs2010963 genotype were significantly associated with PFS （P<0.05） in univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that the rs2010963 and rs3025039 polymorphisms regulated VEGFA expression by affecting the binding of transcription factors and miRNAs to their target gene sequences， respectively. ConclusionThe VEGFA rs3025039 CC genotype is a risk factor for thrombocytopenia and gastrointestinal toxicity， and a protective factor for coagulation disorders and hyperlipidemia. The rs2010963 CG genotype is a protective factor for brain tumor progression.

To address the growing challenge of an increasing number of elderly lung cancer patients amidst China's aging population and to fill the gap in quality control standards for surgical treatment in this special population, this study aimed to develop a standardized surgical evaluation system for elderly lung cancer patients tailored to China's national conditions. The system was established through a literature review, integrated the pathophysiological characteristics of elderly patients, and was constructed following review, feedback, and revision by experts from multiple thoracic surgery centers. Employing a 100-point scoring system, it comprises three primary domains: physical infrastructure and geriatric adaptability foundational conditions (10 points); management level and perioperative care models (20 points); and technical proficiency and clinical outcomes (70 points). The system places a strong emphasis on geriatric adaptability, proposing specific, quantifiable indicators for age-friendly facility modifications, control of elderly-specific complications, multidisciplinary collaboration, and standardized perioperative management. It provides a convenient and measurable assessment tool for quality control in the surgical treatment of elderly lung cancer in China, which is expected to promote the standardization and homogenization of diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a short video based health education model in enhancing e-cigarette awareness among junior high school students, so as to provide empirical evidence for optimizing school based health education in the digital era. Methods: In December 2024, a cluster sampling method was applied to recruit 465 eighth grade students from a middle school in Kunming for a survey. The intervention was implemented through playing short videos produced by the research team in the classroom, and a self designed adolescent e-cigarette questionnaire was used to conduct assessments before and after intervention, along with qualitative interviews with 60 teachers and students by purposive sampling. Pre and post intervention outcomes were compared by using paired t-test and Chi-square test. Qualitative data underwent a three stage coding process of "open, axial, and selective coding" to construct an explanatory framework. Results: Quantitative analysis showed significant post intervention increases in both baseline awareness scores（92.1±6.6）and deep awareness scores (70.0±17.6) compared with pre intervention( 78.2± 14.0，46.1±20.5)( t =23.54，26.72，both P <0.05), both meeting the criteria for large effect sizes (Cohen s d =1.09, 1.24). The improvement in deep awareness was particularly pronounced, specifically regarding addictive ingredients, illicit additives(tiletamine,metomidate,etomidate), and misconceptions about smoking cessation efficacy ( χ 2=150.54,113.27,117.40,112.92, 69.93 , all P <0.01). Qualitative insights revealed that narrative transportation and visual enhancement were the core mechanisms of efficacy: 87.3% of students preferred contextualized narratives, 85.5% of students decoded cognitive bottlenecks more effectively because of visual enhancement, and 72.7% relied on short videos for micro learning. Conclusion Short video based health education can effectively enhance e-cigarette awareness among junior high school students, offering a pragmatically viable digital pathway for school based health education.

Objective: To investigate the associations between 24 hour activity and the quality of life (QoL) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to explore their isotemporal substitution effects, providing a reference for developing intervention strategies of their QoL. Methods: From March to June 2025, 288 children with ASD from 7 special education schools in Jinan were selected by using a cluster random sampling method. The 24 hour activity was measured by using ActiGraph wGT3X-BT triaxial accelerometers, and their QoL was assessed by applying a parent proxy Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the associations between 24 hour activity and QoL in children with ASD. Isotemporal substitution analysis was applied to analyze the dose response relationship of 24 hour activity time and the QoL scores in children with ASD. Results: Within the 24 hour activities of children with ASD, the daily time spent in sleep, sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were 610.49，605.80，195.49，28.22 minutes, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as gender, age, and parental education level, the proportion of time spent in MVPA was positively associated with QoL scores ( β =1.75) in children with ASD, whereas the proportion of time spent in SB was negatively associated with QoL scores ( β =-1.00)(both P <0.01). In the dose response relationship, reallocating time from sleep, SB, and LPA to MVPA was associated with an improvement in QoL in children with ASD, with increased scores of 1.38, 1.55, 1.47, respectively; conversely, the reverse substitution was associated with a decline in QoL, and the scores decreased by 2.31, 2.99 and 2.68, respectively, with the latter demonstrating a more pronounced effect(all P <0.05). Conclusions Enhancing the QoL for children with ASD should be grounded in the overall balance of 24 hour activity. Time reallocation strategies should be implemented with an emphasis on relatively increasing MVPA and reducing SB.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in Henan Province, and to explore their association with classroom environment, so as to provide scientific evidence for targeted prevention and control strategies. Methods: From September to October 2025, 751 schools from 158 counties/districts in Henan Province were chosen by using a stratified random cluster sampling technique. A total of 4 019 classrooms were monitored and physical examinations for 202 293 students were conducted. By matching classroom environment monitoring data with student physical examination information, Chi square test and Chi square test for trend were used for between group comparisons, and a multilevel Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between classroom environment and spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students. Results: The detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in Henan Province was 2.48% in 2025. The rate was higher in girls ( 2.65 %) compared to boys (2.32%), higher in urban students (3.23%) compared to rural students (2.01%), and higher in wasted students (3.89%) compared to non wasted students (2.39%); all differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=22.92, 298.34 , 100.84, all P <0.05). Age and school stage were associated with an increasing trend in the detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities ( χ 2 trend = 1 494.46 , 1 430.79, both P <0.05). After controlling for confounding variables like residence area, sex, and age, multilevel Logistic regression analysis revealed that non compliance with desk-chair fit standards ( OR=1.47, 95%CI = 1.22-1.78), blackboard reflectance ( OR=1.18, 95%CI =1.06-1.33), and blackboard size ( OR =1.37, 95% CI =1.21-1.55) increased the risk of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01). Conclusions There are population based differences in spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in Henan Province. The occurrence is strongly correlated with elements of the teaching environment. It is necessary to put in place comprehensive preventative and control strategies that focus on pertinent environmental elements.

Objective: To investigate the association between uric acid level and elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents in Guangzhou, so as to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of hypertension in the pediatric population. Methods: From March to December 2019, using stratified cluster random sampling, 3 626 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years without elevated blood pressure at baseline were recruited from 6 primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou. Serum uric acid levels were measured at baseline, and divided into four groups ( Q1-Q 4) based on age and sex specific quartiles for analyses. Two waves of follow up were carried out from October 2020 to May 2021 and from October 2021 to May 2022, respectively. Multilevel robust Poisson regression was used to evaluate the association between uric acid level and elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents. The additive interaction between high uric acid level and sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) intake on elevated blood pressure was assessed by stratification analysis and calculation of the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Results: A total of 1 131 new cases of elevated blood pressure were identified during the two follow ups, with an incidence density of 130.5 cases 1 000 person years. Multilevel robust Poisson regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounders such as gender, age and annual family income, compared with those in the uric acid Q 1 level, the risk of elevated blood pressure in individuals in the Q 4 level increased by 25% ( RR=1.25, 95%CI =1.08-1.44), and the risk of elevated systolic blood pressure increased by 20% ( RR=1.20, 95%CI =1.05-1.36) (both P <0.05); no statistical association was observed between uric acid and elevated diastolic blood pressure (all P >0.05). In the stratified analysis, the statistical associations of uric acid Q 4 level with elevated blood pressure ( RR=1.34, 95%CI =1.13-1.58) and elevated systolic blood pressure ( RR=1.33, 95%CI =1.14-1.55) were only observed in the group with SSB intake ≥ 250 mL/week (both P <0.05). The RERI values for the effect of uric acid Q 4 and Q 3 levels with SSB intake ≥ 250 mL/week on elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 0.29 and 0.44 (both P <0.05). Conclusions High uric acid level is a risk factor for elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents, with a predominant effect on systolic blood pressure. High uric acid level and SSB intake synergistically promote the increase of blood pressure of children and adolescents.
