ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Mingshi prescription regulates the retinal melanopsin-dopamine （Opn4-DA） axis in myopic mice to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress in the retina and sclera， thereby delaying axial elongation associated with myopia. MethodsSixty 4-week-old male SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a form-deprived myopia group （FDM group）， an intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells ablation group （ipRGCs group）， a Mingshi Prescription group （MSF group， 5.2 g·kg^-1）， and an ipRGCs + MSF group （5.2 g·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， all other groups underwent FDM modeling. Additionally， the ipRGCs and ipRGCs + MSF groups received retinal ipRGC ablation. Three weeks after modeling， the MSF and ipRGCs + MSF groups were administered Mingshi prescription via continuous gavage for six weeks. After refraction and axial length were measured in all mice， eyeballs were collected along with retinal and scleral tissues. Pathological and morphological changes in the retina， choroid， and sclera were observed using periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Western blot was employed to detect the relative protein expression levels of dopamine D1 receptor （DRD1）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， and glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78） in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Real-time PCR was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of Opn4， CHOP， and GRP78 in the retina， and CHOP and GRP78 in the sclera. Immunofluorescence staining （IF） was performed to detect the expression of Opn4 and DRD1 in retinal tissues. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the FDM group showed a significant myopic shift in refraction （P<0.05） and a significant increase in axial length （P<0.05）. The retinal layers were thinner， the number of ganglion cells was reduced， and collagen fibers in the sclera were loosely arranged with evident gaps. Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retinal and scleral tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the ipRGCs group exhibited further increases in myopic refraction and axial length （P<0.05）， more pronounced thinning and looseness in the retinal， choroidal， and scleral layers， lower expression of Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA in the retina （P<0.05）， and higher expression of CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA in the retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Compared with the FDM group， the MSF group showed significantly reduced refractive error and axial length （P<0.05）， with improved cellular number， arrangement， and thickness in ocular tissues， increased Opn4 and DRD1 protein and mRNA expression in the retina （P<0.05）， and reduced CHOP and GRP78 protein and mRNA expression in both retina and sclera （P<0.05）. Similarly， the ipRGCs + MSF group showed significant improvements in terms of the above items compared with the ipRGCs group （P<0.05）. ConclusionMingshi Prescription delays myopic axial elongation and refractive progression by regulating the Opn4-DA axis in the retina of myopic mice， thereby inhibiting ER stress in the retina and sclera. This intervention promotes Qi and blood nourishment of the eyes， softens the fascia， and restores ocular rhythm.

Objective To construct a key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury, and provide a basis for the implementation of such treatment and nursing. Methods The draft of the key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury was determined by literature review, case study, and field investigation. The indicators of the system were determined through two rounds of Delphi consultation and using the precedence chart method. According to the criteria of indicator evaluation, the reliability of expert opinions, and the opinions of the research group, the indicators were refined and evaluated. Results Twenty experts were included for two rounds of consultation via mailed inquiries, with a 100% effective response rate in both rounds. The expert authority coefficients were both 0.945, and the Kendall’s W values were 0.347 and 0.448, respectively (P < 0.05). Following the expert consultations, 1 indicator was deleted, 12 indicators were added, and 6 indicators were modified. The key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury established in this study included 4 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators, and 73 third-level indicators. The means of importance assignment for all indicators were > 4.00, and the coefficients of variation were < 0.25. Conclusion The key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury established in this study is scientifically rigorous and practically grounded. The indicators demonstrate strong professional relevance and provide important guidance for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury.

Objective To explore relationship between glucose metabolism and neonatal weight in high-risk gestational diabetes melli-tus(GDM).Method A retrospective study was conducted on 779 pregnant women who underwent prenatal examinations at Tongzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital in Beijing from March to June 2022.The data on pre-pregnancy weight,mid-and late-preg-nancy glycated albumin(GA)and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),pre-delivery weight,gestational weight gain,and neonatal birth weight were collected.A GDM risk assessment model was established using multivariate logistic regression to classify pregnant women into high-risk and low-risk groups for GDM,followed by separate management strategies.Regression discontinuity(RD)analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship between gestational glucose metabolism status and neonatal birth weight.Results Among the 779 pregnant women,the overall incidence of macrosomia was 7.32％.The high-risk GDM group exhibited significantly higher pre-pregnan-cy weight,late-pregnancy HbA1c,and GA levels compared to the low-risk group(all P＜0.001).Neonatal birth weight in the high-risk group was significantly higher than that in the low-risk group(P＜0.05),with a significantly increased macrosomia incidence(13.55％vs 5.77％,P＜0.05).RD analysis revealed a jump reduction of 199.59 g(P=0.029)in neonatal birth weight at the risk score thresh-old.Conclusion Lifestyle glucose metabolism management in high-risk GDM pregnant women may effectively reduce neonatal birth weight,mitigated the trend of excessive gestational weight gain,and improved late-pregnancy HbA1c and GA levels,providing evi-dence-based support for maternal and child health services.

Objectives:Using data from the heart transplant patient dataset of our center,we aimed to develop a preoperative risk scoring model specifically suitable for the Chinese population undergoing heart transplantation.This model was established to predict the likelihood of graft failure within the first year post-surgery and classify recipients according to their risk level.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at a single center on 1 210 consecutive heart transplant recipients between June 2004 and December 2022.Risk factor screening was performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Variable selection was carried out through a stepwise backward procedure based on the Akaike Information Criterion(AIC).The regression coefficients obtained from the final model were employed as weighting factors in the multifactor analysis.The study utilized the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)area under curve(AUC)as a metric to evaluate the performance of the model.Patients were stratified into low,medium,and high-risk groups based on the distribution of the calculated scores.Survival analysis was conducted on the various risk groups using the Kaplan-Meier method,with statistical comparisons performed using the log-rank test.A significance level of P<0.05 was deemed statistically significant.Results:A risk scoring model,denoted as the heart transplant(HTx)score,was developed,comprising 11 variables and yielding a total score of 20.6 points.In comparison to the low-risk group,the OR for 1-year graft failure in the medium-risk group was 2.0(95%CI:1.1-3.6,P=0.02),while the high-risk group had an OR of 9.8(95%CI:5.4-17.7,P<0.01).The risk scoring model exhibited strong discriminative ability with an AUC of 0.712(95%CI:0.646-0.778)and an internally validated bias-corrected AUC of 0.713.The results of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated that the predictive model demonstrated a strong calibration ability(Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2=2.92,P=0.71).Within the cohort,the AUC values for the IMPACT score,UNOS score,RSS score,Mayo score,BO score,and TRS score models were 0.645,0.651,0.632,0.589,0.610,and 0.604,respectively.These findings suggest that the HTx scoring model exhibited superior predictive performance compared to the aforementioned models in forecasting outcomes within our cohort.The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed statistically significant differences in long-term survival rates between the three risk groups,a noticeable decrease in long-term survival rates were observed with increasing levels of HTx risk stratification(P<0.05).Conclusions:Present results indicate a significant association between the developed HTx risk scores and graft failure within the initial year post-surgery,present model effectively categorizes the heart transplant recipients into low,medium,and high-risk groups and is valuable for risk stratification.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of iodine and other chemical elements in soil, grain and vegetables in different water iodine areas of Xi'an City, and to provide theoretical basis for prevention and treatment of iodine related diseases and water improvement measures.Methods:From September to November 2021, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to select three survey villages in Xi'an, namely Yehu Village, Xingbei Village, and Quanzhong Village, where the iodine level of residents' drinking water < 10, 10 - 100, and > 100 μg/L. Drinking water samples were collected from seven survey sites based on the source of domestic drinking water to determine the iodine level of the water. At the same time, soil samples of cultivated land, residents' grains (wheat, corn), and vegetables were collected from survey villages to determine the content of 14 elements including calcium, iron, magnesium, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, selenium, iodine, and fluoride.Results:The iodine level in the water of 7 survey sites in three survey villages was 5.80, 6.40, 25.51, 42.20, 53.90, 111.65, and 177.63 μg/L, respectively. A total of 70 samples of soil, 65 samples of wheat, 76 samples of corn, and 141 samples of vegetables were collected. Among them, the levels of various elements in vegetables and grains were lower than those in the soil. Only calcium and fluoride were higher in vegetables than in grains, while iron, chromium, copper, zinc, selenium, and iodine were lower in vegetables than in grains. According to the range of water iodine level, there were statistically significant differences in the content of calcium, iron, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, mercury, iodine, and fluoride in soils from different water iodine regions ( Fcalcium, iron, chromium, nickel = 42.04, 13.55, 12.22, 11.20, Hcopper, zinc, mercury, iodine, fluoride = 14.27, 9.19, 14.72, 25.14, 16.50, P < 0.05). The comparison of magnesium, zinc, cadmium, arsenic, and selenium content in wheat showed statistically significant differences ( Fadmium, selenium = 6.34, 3.31, Hmagnesium, zinc, arsenic = 6.12, 11.55, 6.23, P < 0.05). The comparison of calcium, iron, magnesium, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, iodine, and fluoride content in corn showed statistically significant differences ( Fmagnesium, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, iodine = 18.89, 13.76, 17.86, 24.17, 28.46, 15.96, Hcalcium, iron, cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, fluoride = 11.57, 40.53, 26.50, 33.05, 33.73, 36.01, 29.21, P < 0.05). The comparison of calcium, iron, magnesium, chromium, zinc, cadmium, lead, arsenic, mercury, and selenium content in vegetables showed statistically significant differences ( H = 23.93, 8.12, 10.03, 7.01, 16.09, 18.36, 23.07, 6.51, 27.67, 7.86, P < 0.05). Conclusions:There are significant differences in the distribution of 14 elements in soil, grain, and vegetables in different water iodine regions. In addition to drinking water, precise guidance should also be provided based on the iodine content in soil, grain, and vegetables in different water iodine areas.

Objective To explore the changes in task-state brain region activation of stroke patients using functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)in the treatment of upper limb motor function with brain-computer interfaces(BCI).Methods From April to October,2024,40 stroke patients in Linyi People's Hospital were randomly divided into control group and BCI group,with 20 cases in each group.Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy.The control group underwent low-frequency electrotherapy before conventional treatment,while BCI group received BCI therapy before conventional treatment,for four weeks.Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities(FMA-UE)and modified Barthel Index were used to evaluate the upper limbs motor function before and after treatment.A"wrist movement task"was designed to detect the level of oxyhemoglobin(HbO?)in the regions of interest(ROI)during the task.Results After treatment,the scores of MBI and FMA-UE increased in both groups(|t|>8.904,P<0.001),and were higher in BCI group than in the control group(|t|>2.584,P<0.05).The HbO? level in the premotor cortex/sup-plementary motor area(PMC/SMA)increased after treatment in BCI group(t=-3.965,P<0.01),and was high-er in BCI group than in the control group(t=-3.630,P<0.01).The difference of HbO? level in PMC/SMA be-fore and after treatment correlated with both the difference of MBI score(r=0.498,P<0.05)and the difference of FMA-UE score(r=0.799,P<0.001).Conclusion BCI can further improve the upper limb motor function of stroke patients on the basis of conventional treat-ment and enhance the cortical activation of PMC/SMA.

In recent years, the incidence of infertility has been steadily increasing. Obesity, recognized as a chronic inflammatory condition, can not only lead to various chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, but also adversely affects female reproductive health,including rare ovulation, anovulation, menstrual irregularities, and even infertility. The reproductive outcomes of overweight/obese women are not optimistic even among people undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART).However, the mechanisms of overweight and obesity on ART outcomes remain poorly understood. This review aims to summarize current evidence on the impact of overweight and obesity on ART outcomes in women and explore the potential mechanisms.

Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for nursing quality of post-anesthesia visit based on service quality gap (SERVQUAL) model, providing a scientific basis for objectively evaluating the quality of post-anesthesia visit nursing.Methods:From October 2023 to February 2024, the SERVQUAL model was used as the theoretical basis for the preliminary formulation of an evaluation index system for nursing quality of post-anesthesia visit through literature search and semi-structured interviews. Delphi method was used to determine the indicators for evaluating the nursing quality of post-anesthesia visit after two rounds of consultation with 20 experts. Analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weights of indicators at all levels.Results:For two rounds of consultation, the valid recovery rate of the questionnaires was 100.00% (20/20). The judgment coefficient for expert was 0.93, the familiarity coefficient was 0.87, and the authority coefficient was 0.90. Kendall's harmony coefficients for two rounds of consultation were 0.173 and 0.192, respectively ( P<0.001). An evaluation index system for nursing quality of post-anesthesia visit was ultimately formed, including six first-level indicators, 14 second-level indicators, and 59 third-level indicators. The weights of the first-level indicators ranged from 0.097 to 0.279, the combined weights of the second-level indicators ranged from 0.019 to 0.138, and the combined weights of the third-level indicators ranged from 0.002 to 0.065. Conclusions:The evaluation index system for nursing quality of post-anesthesia visit based on the SERVQUAL model is scientific and practical, and can provide a certain basis for carrying out nursing quality evaluation for post-anesthesia visits in China.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical equivalence between a domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment and the originator product in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group, active- and placebo-controlled study was conducted, and 449 patients aged 18 - 65 years with stable plaque psoriasis were enrolled from 25 hospitals (such as the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University). Eligible patients had a baseline physician's global assessment (PGA) score of ≥ 3 points, baseline body surface area (BSA) involvement of 5% - 30%, and a target lesion psoriasis area and severity index (TL-PASI) for plaque elevation of ≥ 3 points. Participants were randomly assigned in a 2:2:1 ratio to the test group ( n = 179), reference group ( n = 180), and placebo group ( n = 90), and applied the domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment, originator product, and ointment base respectively, once daily in the evening for 4 weeks. Efficacy and safety were assessed at weeks 1, 2, and 4. The primary efficacy endpoints were the treatment success rates and clinical success rates in each group at week 4. The per-protocol set (PPS) was used for the primary efficacy analysis, and the intention-to-treat (ITT) set for supplementary efficacy analysis. Equivalence between the test and reference preparations was tested using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method adjusted for randomization strata. Superiority of the test and reference preparations over the placebo was also tested. Measurement data were compared among the 3 groups using analysis of variance or non-parametric tests, while treatment success rates, clinical success rates, and incidence rates of adverse reactions were compared using the chi-square test. Results:The ITT, PPS, and safety sets included 447, 420, and 448 patients, respectively. In the ITT set, patients were aged 43.6 ± 12.8 years, including 320 (71.6%) males and 127 (28.4%) females, and the disease duration was 11.21 ± 9.05 years; 316 (70.7%) had a PGA score of 3 points and 131 (29.3%) had a PGA score of 4 - 5 points. No significant differences in the baseline characteristics (including age, sex, disease duration and disease severity) were observed among the 3 groups (all P > 0.05). Based on the PPS analysis, the treatment success rates were 57.9% (99/171) in the test group, 50.3% (86/171) in the reference group, and 7.7% (6/78) in the placebo group, and the clinical success rates were 57.9% (99/171), 50.3% (86/171), and 10.3% (8/78), respectively; both the test and reference groups were superior to the placebo group in both treatment and clinical success rates (all P < 0.001) ; the rate differences for treatment success (90% confidence interval [ CI]: -1.3% - 16.4%) and clinical success (90% CI: -1.3% - 16.3%) between the test and reference groups were entirely within the pre-defined equivalence margin (-20% - 20%). Subgroup analyses by baseline PGA scores: for patients with a baseline PGA score of 3 points, the treatment success rates in the test, reference, and placebo groups were 60.8% (73/120), 52.1% (62/119), and 11.1% (6/54), respectively, and the corresponding clinical success rates were 61.7% (74/120), 53.8% (64/119), and 13% (7/54), respectively; the test and reference groups did not differ significantly in treatment or clinical success rates (both P > 0.05), but both showed higher success rates than the placebo group (all P < 0.001) ; the results of statistical comparisons among the 3 groups in patients with a baseline PGA score of 4 - 5 points were consistent with those observed in patients with a baseline PGA score of 3 points. The percentage reductions in PGA and TL-PASI scores from baseline to weeks 1, 2, and 4 showed significant differences among the 3 groups, which were significantly higher in the test and reference groups than in the placebo group (all P < 0.001), but did not differ between the test and reference groups (all P > 0.05). The primary adverse reactions were local skin reactions, such as pruritus, pain, and erythema. The incidence rates of adverse reactions were 8.9% (16/179) in the test group, 7.3% (13/179) in the reference group, and 7.8% (7/90) in the placebo group, with no significant difference among the 3 groups ( P > 0.05) . Conclusions:The domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment demonstrated clinical equivalence to the originator product in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis, and the two agents exhibited comparable efficacy for patients with varying degrees of disease severity, and were comparable in the speed and degree of clinical improvement, with similar favorable safety profiles.
