Objective: To evaluate the classroom environmental management and CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary schools from Liaoning, Tianjin, and Shanghai, thereby providing a scientific basis for developing targeted strategies to improve classroom air quality. Methods: From December 16 to 26, 2024, by using stratified random cluster sampling method, the questionnaire survey was conducted in 72 primary and secondary schools (24 each of primary, junior high, and regular high schools) across Liaoning, Tianjin and Shanghai. Information on heating, ventilation and other classroom environmental management was collected. Additionally, 108 classrooms were selected for on site microclimate measurements, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and CO 2 volume concentration. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression models were employed to explore related factors of classroom CO 2 volume concentration. Results: Among the three provinces/municipalities, 20.8% of schools regularly monitored the microclimate. The overall compliance rate for classroom CO 2 volume concentration was 17.6%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CO 2 volume concentration in regular and junior high school classrooms were higher than in primary school classrooms ( β=0.067, 0.046, 95%CI =0.036-0.099, 0.013-0.080); classrooms ventilated regularly in the morning and afternoon had higher CO 2 volume concentration than those ventilated during every break between classes ( β=0.043, 95%CI = 0.007- 0.080); both temperature ( β=0.010, 95%CI =0.004-0.016) and humidity ( β=0.003, 95%CI =0.002-0.004) were positively correlated with CO 2 volume concentration (all P <0.05). Conclusions Excessive CO 2 volume concentration in primary and secondary school classrooms is a prominent issue, and ventilation frequency is a key intervenable factor for controlling CO 2 levels. It is recommended to promote ventilation during every break between classes as a core management measure and to emphasize air quality supervision in regular high school classrooms.

OBJECTIVE To systematically review the current application of discrete choice experiment （DCE） in the value assessment and preference measurement of orphan medicinal product （OMP）， and to provide a reference for the standardized use of this methodology in China. METHODS The systematic search was conducted across Chinese and English databases including CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP， CBM， PubMed， Web of Science， Medline， and Embase. Original studies that employed DCE to evaluate the value or preferences related to OMP were included. The methodological quality and reporting completeness of the included studies were assessed using the ISPOR Conjoint Analysis Checklist and the DIRECT Checklist， respectively. Respondent populations， attribute setting， and the relative importance of attributes were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS Eight eligible studies were included； all studies demonstrated high-quality reporting and methodological rigor. Respondents comprised the general public， patients/caregivers， policymakers， and other stakeholders. The number of DCE attributes ranged from 4 to 13 （median＝7.5）. Through thematic synthesis， these attributes were categorized into three dimensions， namely “disease-related” “treatment-related” and “economic/financial-related” along with 14 secondary criteria. The most frequently included secondary criteria were treatment efficacy （13 occurrences）， disease severity （9 occurrences）， safety （7 occurrences）， unmet medical need （6 occurrences）， and treatment cost （5 occurrences）. Rankings of relative importance identified treatment efficacy as the most valued criterion across most studies， followed by health insurance financing. CONCLUSIONS DCE applications in the value assessment of OMP have begun to converge on a relatively consistent core attribute framework and selection preference. Future research should further promote the use of DCE to inform attribute and criterion selection in multi-criteria decision analysis frameworks for OMP.

Objective To investigate the early clinical efficacy of a 3D-printed external fixation guide combined with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of flail chest, and to provide evidence for its clinical application. Methods Patients with flail chest admitted to Xiamen University Affiliated Chenggong Hospital between January 2010 and January 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study subjects. Based on the surgical methods, the patients were divided into two groups: patients treated with the 3D-printed external fixation guide combined with VATS were assigned to a 3D group, and those who underwent open reduction and internal fixation were assigned to an internal fixation group. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, duration of chest tube drainage, recovery of thoracic volume, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 1 month postoperatively, and complications were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 40 patients were included, with 20 patients in each group. The 3D group consisted of 13 males and 7 females, with a mean age of (45.7±3.8) years; the internal fixation group consisted of 14 males and 6 females, with a mean age of (47.3±4.1) years. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age, number of rib fractures, or preoperative VAS scores (P>0.05). The surgeries were performed successfully in both groups, primary wound healing was achieved in all patients, and pain symptoms were significantly alleviated compared to preoperation. No postoperative complications occurred in the 3D group, whereas 1 patient each of chronic postoperative pain, fracture malunion, and incision infection occurred in the internal fixation group, resulting in a complication rate of 15.0%. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and duration of chest tube drainage in the 3D group were significantly shorter or less than those in the internal fixation group (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the recovery of thoracic volume or the VAS scores at 1 month postoperatively between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The early clinical efficacy of a 3D-printed external fixation guide combined with VATS in the treatment of flail chest is satisfactory. This technique offers the advantages of being minimally invasive, highly efficient, promoting rapid recovery, and resulting in fewer postoperative complications, and can effectively reconstruct the thoracic contour and restore thoracic volume.

Objective In order to understand the current resistance status of Aedes albopictus(Ae. albopictus) adult population to commonly used insecticides and the resistance dynamics development in Zhejiang Province and provide a theoretical basis for the scientific and rational use of hygienic insecticides. Methods Resistance determination was carried out using the diagnostic dose method(GB/T 26347-2010)recommended by WHO in the adult mosquito contact cylinder method to monitor the resistance of Ae. albopictus field populations in 11 cities and districts in Zhejiang Province in 2024. Results The monitoring result showed that adult Ae. albopictus in 11 areas were resistant or suspected resistant populations to both cis-cypermethrin and permethrin; suspected and resistant populations to the organophosphate insecticide malathion were as high as 81.82%; while suspected resistance to the carbamate insecticide residual carbofuran accounted for 45.45%, and the rest of the monitoring sites were sensitive to it. Conclusions The result suggest that the generalized resistance of Ae. albopictus populations to pyrethroids and organophosphorus insecticides in the field in Zhejiang Province needs to be highly emphasized. In future mosquito vector and mosquito-borne disease control, insecticides should be selected based on the resistance monitoring information, while following scientific guidelines for insecticide use.

Objective To identify key influencing factors for comorbidity between myopia and depressive symptoms among middle school students, and to construct a nomogram predictive model capable of quantitatively assessing their comorbidity risk. Methods A total of 13 976 middle school students aged 11-20 from 14 counties (cities, districts) in Yichang City were selected as study subjects through cluster random sampling. On-site surveys were conducted using the Student Health Status and Influencing Factors Questionnaire and the Depression Assessment Scale. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the comorbidity association between myopia and depressive symptoms and their influencing factors, and to construct a nomogram model for risk prediction. Results The myopia screening rate among middle school students was 68.67%, the depression detection rate was 23.31%, and the comorbidity detection rate was 16.59%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that boarding school (OR=1.207), smoking history (OR=1.504), alcohol consumption (OR=2.016), outdoor activity time <1 h (OR=1.293), internet addiction (OR=4.008), school bullying (OR=4.358), school absence due to illness within one year (OR=1.712), and severe injury within one year (OR=1.356) were risk factors for myopia-depression comorbidity. Protective factors included male gender (OR=0.578), junior high school students (OR=0.670), nuclear family (OR=0.862), moderate-to-high intensity exercise ≥1 h/d (OR=0.852), screen time <2h (OR=0.803), adequate sleep duration (OR=0.602), and homework time after school <2 h/d (OR=0.766). The nomogram model constructed based on the above variables exhibited excellent discriminant power (AUC = 0.712) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, χ²=3.245, P> 0.05). Conclusion Factors such as boarding school attendance, smoking history, alcohol consumption, less than 1 hour of daily outdoor activity, internet addiction, and school bullying are significantly associated with the comorbidity of screening myopia and depressive symptoms among middle school students in Yichang City. The nomogram model effectively predicts the comorbidity risk in this population, facilitating timely intervention for high-risk individuals.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive, high temporal-resolution technique for monitoring brain activity. However, affected by the volume conduction effect, EEG has a low spatial resolution and is difficult to locate brain neuronal activity precisely. The surface Laplacian (SL) technique obtains the Laplacian EEG (LEEG) by estimating the second-order spatial derivative of the scalp potential. LEEG can reflect the radial current activity under the scalp, with positive values indicating current flow from the brain to the scalp (“source”) and negative values indicating current flow from the scalp to the brain (“sink”). It attenuates signals from volume conduction, effectively improving the spatial resolution of EEG, and is expected to contribute to breakthroughs in neural engineering. This paper provides a systematic overview of the principles and development of SL technology. Currently, there are two implementation paths for SL technology: current source density algorithms (CSD) and concentric ring electrodes (CRE). CSD performs the Laplace transform of the EEG signals acquired by conventional disc electrodes to indirectly estimate the LEEG. It can be mainly classified into local methods, global methods, and realistic Laplacian methods. The global method is the most commonly used approach in CSD, which can achieve more accurate estimation compared with the local method, and it does not require additional imaging equipment compared with the realistic Laplacian method. CRE employs new concentric ring electrodes instead of the traditional disc electrodes, and measures the LEEG directly by differential acquisition of the multi-ring signals. Depending on the structure, it can be divided into bipolar CRE, quasi-bipolar CRE, tripolar CRE, and multi-pole CRE. The tripolar CRE is widely used due to its optimal detection performance. While ensuring the quality of signal acquisition, the complexity of its preamplifier is relatively acceptable. Here, this paper introduces the study of the SL technique in resting rhythms, visual-related potentials, movement-related potentials, and sensorimotor rhythms. These studies demonstrate that SL technology can improve signal quality and enhance signal characteristics, confirming its potential applications in neuroscientific research, disease diagnosis, visual pathway detection, and brain-computer interfaces. CSD is frequently utilized in applications such as neuroscientific research and disease detection, where high-precision estimation of LEEG is required. And CRE tends to be used in brain-computer interfaces, that have stringent requirements for real-time data processing. Finally, this paper summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of SL technology and envisages its future development. SL technology boasts advantages such as reference independence, high spatial resolution, high temporal resolution, enhanced source connectivity analysis, and noise suppression. However, it also has shortcomings that can be further improved. Theoretically, simulation experiments should be conducted to investigate the theoretical characteristics of SL technology. For CSD methods, the algorithm needs to be optimized to improve the precision of LEEG estimation, reduce dependence on the number of channels, and decrease computational complexity and time consumption. For CRE methods, the electrodes need to be designed with appropriate structures and sizes, and the low-noise, high common-mode rejection ratio preamplifier should be developed. We hope that this paper can promote the in-depth research and wide application of SL technology.

BACKGROUND:The formation of postoperative abdominal adhesions is a complicated process,and the prevention of postoperative adhesions is an urgent problem in clinic. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mechanism of adhesion at cellular and molecular levels,and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of adhesion by mesenchymal stem cell exosomes. METHODS:"Abdominal adhesion,pelvic adhesion,postoperative adhesion,epithelial mesenchymal transformation,mesenchymal stem cells,stem cell exosomes,mesenchymal stem cell exosomes"were selected as Chinese and English search terms.We searched PubMed,CNKI,and Chinese biomedical literature and screened relevant articles on postoperative abdominal adhesion and mesenchymal stem cell exosomal intervention published from inception to August 2023.After systematic analysis,54 articles were finally included for the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Any pathological factors such as peritoneal inflammation,mechanical injury,tissue ischemia,and foreign body implantation cause peritoneal surface injury,resulting in postoperative abdominal adhesion.The formation process of adhesion includes the interaction of peritoneal mesothelial cell repair,inflammatory response,fibrinolytic system,coagulation pathway and other processes,involving a variety of cytokines and signaling pathways.Wnt/β-catenin pathway can induce fibrosis and angiogenesis,and cooperate with transforming growth factor-β/Smads signaling pathway to stimulate fibroblast proliferation and cause peritoneal fibrosis.Meanwhile,nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway up-regulates the expression of cellular inflammatory factors,promotes fibroblast proliferation,and plays a key role in the process of tissue fibrosis.(2)The paracrine function of stem cells is an important direction of molecular intervention in abdominal adhesions based on regenerative medicine.It can participate in a variety of complex cytokines and signaling pathways involved in abdominal adhesions.(3)Compared with traditional methods for treating abdominal adhesions,mesenchymal stem cell exosome has biological activity and is safe to use.Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes without special culture and expansion have lower immunogenicity,longer stability and other advantages,can guide a normal repair and healing through a variety of ways.(4)Mesenchymal stem cell exosome has been proven to be involved in regulating the above processes of adhesion formation in previous studies,showing potential application prospects in clinical studies.However,further clinical studies are needed to explore appropriate treatment options for mesenchymal stem cell exosomes to address the problem of clinical translation.

Objective To investigate the effects and molecular mechanism of Homer protein homolog 1a (Homer 1a) overexpression on nerve injury in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: sham group, TBI group, empty lentivirus (Lv-NC) group, Homer 1a overexpression lentivirus (Lv-Homer 1a) group and Lv-Homer 1a + 740 Y-P group, with 12 mice in each group. The lentivirus was orthotopic injected into the cerebral cortex of mice 5 d before modeling, while 740 Y-P was injected intraperitoneally 1 d before modeling. The TBI model was established using the free-fall impact method, and the modified neurological severity scores (mNSS) of the mice was assessed 72 h post-surgery. The water content of brain tissue was quantified, and the histopathological damage and neuronal loss in brain tissue were assessed using HE staining and Nissl staining respectively. The formation of autophagosomes in brain tissue was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein expression levels of Homer 1a, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), Beclin 1, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylation PI3K(p-PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), p-AKT, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and p-mTOR in brain tissue were detected by Western blot analysis. Results Compared to the sham group, the mice in the TBI group exhibited a significant increase in mNSS and cerebral water content. Moreover, severe brain tissue pathological damage was observed, accompanied by a substantial loss of neurons and an increase in autophagosome formation. The protein expressions of Homer 1a and Beclin 1, as well as the protein ratio of LC3B-II/LC3B-I, in brain tissues were significantly elevated, while the protein ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT, and p-mTOR/mTOR were significantly reduced. Compared to the TBI group, the Lv-Homer 1a group exhibited reduced mNSS and brain water content. Additionally, there was an improvement in pathological brain tissue damage and neuron loss. Furthermore, there was an increase in autophagosome formation and expression of autophagy-related proteins, while the protein ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT, and p-mTOR/mTOR were decreased. Compared to the Lv-Homer 1a group, the nerve injury in the Lv-Homer 1a+740 Y-P group was exacerbated, accompanied by a reduction in autophagosome formation and expression of autophagy-related proteins, while the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was activated. Conclusion Overexpression of Homer 1a effectively mitigates neurological damage in TBI mice, potentially through modulation of autophagy mediated by the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
