Dry eye disease(DED)is a common ocular surface disorder worldwide, primarily characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film, and frequently associated with meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD), decreased tear film stability, ocular discomfort, and visual impairment. In recent years, factors such as the widespread use of digital devices,the aging population, and environmental changes have contributed to a significant increase in its global prevalence, making it a major public health concern. Red light therapy(RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy(LLLT)or photobiomodulation(PBM), is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-energy red or near-infrared light to irradiate tissues. It exerts photobiomodulatory effects to promote cellular repair and functional recovery. This therapy has demonstrated considerable potential in treating various ocular conditions. Its broader clinical application could improve therapeutic outcomes, alleviate patient discomfort and financial burden, and reduce the consumption of healthcare resources, thereby yielding significant socio-economic benefits. This paper systematically reviews the multifaceted mechanisms and application prospects of RLT in managing DED, including its anti-inflammatory effects, improvement of meibomian gland function, promotion of conjunctival goblet cell repair, and alleviation of visual fatigue, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation and practical reference for its clinical adoption.

Objective To analyze the emergency testing results of a mixed poisoning incident involving methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate in a composite fabric processing enterprise. Methods A mixed poisoning incident involving methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate occurred at a composite fabric processing enterprise in a city of Guangdong Province. On-site occupational health investigation data and laboratory testing results related to this incident were collected, and an integrated analysis was conducted. Results The on-site occupational health investigation revealed inadequate ventilation and non-standard use of personal protective equipment. Volatile organic component analysis of raw and auxiliary materials showed that methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate had relatively high percentages of peak area among all used volatile organic chemical agents in post-incident emergency testing, accounting for 65.10% and 38.25%, respectively. The exposure concentration of short term (C_STE) of methyl acetate in the production line air was 15.13 mg/m³. In the chemical storage area, C_STE of methyl acetate and methanol were 451.04 and <0.21 mg/m³, respectively, all below their respective occupational exposure limits (500.00 and 50.00 mg/m³). In the poisoned workers, blood methanol, blood formic acid, and urinary formic acid levels were 147, 414, and 4 389 mg/L, respectively. Conclusion Occupational exposure to methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate may lead to acute occupational poisoning and cause health damage. Employers should fulfill their responsibilities for occupational disease prevention by ensuring proper operation of protective facilities, while workers should enhance awareness of occupational disease prevention and correctly use personal protective equipment.

This work was aimed at analyzing the protein characteristics of Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing Protein 115(CCDC115)and using Ccdc115-deficient mouse monocyte-macrophage leukemia cells(RAW264.7)to explore the influence of CCDC115 on the intracellular survival of Salmonella Typhimurium.Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to examine the fundamental attributes of CCDC115,which was determined to be an unstable protein consisting of two α-helices and an intervening disordered re-gion,devoid of any transmembrane structural domains.A RAW264.7-Ccdc115-KO cell line was successfully established with CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology.To elucidate the effects of CCDC115 on the intracellular survival of Salmonella Typhimurium,we infected RAW264.7 cells with Salmonella Typhimurium.The expression of CCDC115 was found to be upregulated at both the mRNA and protein levels post-infection,according to RT-qPCR and western blot analysis.Via counting of colony-forming units(CFU),the proliferation rate of Salmonella Typhimurium within RAW264.7-Ccdc115-KO cells was found to be 1.5-fold higher than that in RAW264.7 cells.Acidification imaging studies indicated that,whereas Salmonella Typhimurium phagosomes underwent acidifi-cation in RAW264.7 cells,this process was absent in RAW264.7-Ccdc115-KO cells.In conclusion,the study successfully estab-lished a RAW264.7-Ccdc115-KO cell line and demonstrated that the expression of CCDC115 is elevated during Salmonella Ty-phimurium infection,thus potentially inhibiting the intracellular survival of Salmonella Typhimurium by facilitating phagosome acidifi-cation.This study lay a theoretical foundation for functional studies of CCDC115 and the investigation of mechanisms regulating the survival of intracellular Salmonella Typhimurium.

Objective:To explore the effects of stepped exercise rehabilitation training on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients with ischemic heart disease.Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 110 patients with ischemic heart disease admitted to Jiangsu Province Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023.Patients were randomly divided into control group(n=53,routine intervention program)and intervention group(n=52,additional stepped exercise rehabilitation training).After 3-month intervention,cardiopulmonary function[stroke volume(SV),cardiac index(CI),forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1),maximum voluntary ventilation(MVV)],quality of life[China questionnaire of quality of life in patients with cardiovascular diseases(CQQC)score],exercise endurance[exercise duration(ED),peak oxygen intake(VO2peak),anaerobic threshold(AT)]and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)were compared between the two groups.Results:We included 53 patients[28 males(52.83％),age 40～69(56.25±7.76)years old]in control group compared to 52 patients[27 males(51.92％),age 40～71(55.25±2.40)years old]in the intervention group after 3-month intervention.Com-pared to patients in the control group,those in the intervention group had significantly higher SV[(65.46±3.58)ml vs.(61.69±3.78)ml],CI[(2.82±0.12)L·min-1·m-2 vs.(2.54±0.09)L·min-1·m-2],FEV1[(2.50±0.06)L vs.(2.31±0.06)L],MVV[(79.66±0.82)L/min vs.(77.16±1.09)L/min],CQQC score[(65.23±2.84)points vs.(47.98±3.25)points],ED[(382.62±31.19)s vs.(353.37±36.32)s],VQ2peak[(20.05±2.43)ml·kg-1·min-2 vs.(16.86±1.61)ml·kg-1·min-2]and AT[(13.34±0.83)ml·kg-1·min-2 vs.(11.46±0.89)ml·kg-1·min-2](P＜0.001 all),and significantly lower total incidence of MACE(11.54％vs.32.08％,P=0.011).Conclu-sion:Stepped exercise rehabilitation training may improve cardiopulmonary function,quality of life,and exercise endurance in patients with ischemic heart disease during the rehabilitation.

Objective:To observe the effect of robot-assisted upper-limb training on motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia,utilizing ultrasound shear wave elastography(SWE)for quantitative assessment of muscle fiber pa-rameters,and to explore the application value of SWE in evaluating stroke rehabilitation outcomes.Method:Sixty-one stroke patients with upper-limb dysfunction admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region between August 2024 and February 2025 were randomly assigned to a control group(n=31)or an experimental group(n=30)using a random number table.The control group received conventional rehabilitation training(60 minutes/session,once daily,7 ses-sions/week for 3 weeks).The experimental group received conventional training(40 minutes)plus upper limb robot-assisted training(20 minutes),with the same frequency and duration.Both groups were assessed before and after treatment using the Brunnstrom recovery stage(BRS)for motor staging,Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity(FMA-UE),modified Ashworth scale(MAS),and modified Barthel index(MBI).SWE was used to measure quantitative muscle fiber parameters.Result:After treatment,both groups showed statistically significant improvements in FMA-UE and MBI scores compared to baseline(P<0.05),with significantly greater improvement in the experimental group(P<0.05).BRS scores improved significantly within the experimental group(P<0.05)but showed no significant be-tween-group difference(P>0.05).MAS scores showed no significant within-or between-group differences(P>0.05).The shear modulus(G-value)of the middle deltoid,biceps brachii,and brachioradialis(in both relaxed and stretched states)improved significantly in the experimental group compared with the control group(P<0.05).The experimental group also showed a significant increase in the triceps brachii G-value in the relaxed state compared with both baseline and the control group(P<0.05).Significant within-group improvements(P<0.05)were seen in the anterior deltoid(experimental group)and posterior deltoid(control group)in the re-laxed state,but no significant between-group differences existed(P>0.05).No significant within-or between-group differences were found in the G-value of the anterior deltoid(experimental),posterior deltoid(con-trol),or triceps brachii in the stretched state(P>0.05).Conclusion:Upper-limb rehabilitation robot-assisted training is superior to conventional rehabilitation training in improving upper-limb motor function and reducing flexor spasticity in stroke patients.SWE technology can be used in quantitatively assessing muscle structural parameters in stroke patients.
