Abstract The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas：optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

Objective To investigate the diversity and composition of gut fungi microbiota in patients with polycystic kidney disease(PKD)and its correlation with clinical indicators.Methods A total of 44 PKD patients,44 patients with non-polycystic chronic kidney disease(NPCKD)and 22 healthy controls(HC)admitted to our hospital from February 2023 to February 2024 were recruited.ITS1 DNA sequencing was applied to analyze the gut fungal composition.Bioinformatics analysis was used to compare the diversity and structural differences of fungi among the 3 groups.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between gut fungi and clinical indicators.Results There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics(gender,age,body mass index,etc.)among the 3 groups,but statistical differences were seen in terms of serum indicators(such as serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,uric acid,estimated glomerular filtration rate,etc.)(P<0.01).Alpha diversity analysis showed no significant difference was seen between the PKD and HC groups,but the PKD group had significant differences to the NPCKD group(P<0.01).Beta diversity analysis revealed significant differences among the 3 groups and in pairwise comparisons(P=0.001).Fungi composition analysis found that the abundance of Candida was significantly higher in the PKD group than the other 2 groups(P<0.01),while the abundances of Aspergillus and Cladosporium were significantly lower in the PKD group than the HC group(P<0.05).Linear discriminant analysis(LEFSe)indicated that Candida was significantly enriched,while Aspergillus and Cladosporium were significantly reduced in the PKD group.Correlation analysis revealed that the abundance of Cladosporium was negatively correlated with cyst diameter and immunoglobulin light chain Kappa/Lambda ratio in the PKD group(P<0.05),while the abundance of Candida was positively correlated with liver/kidney cyst diameter(P<0.01).Conclusion PKD patients exhibit characteristic changes in gut fungi diversity and composition.The abundances of Cladosporium and Candida are closely associated with clinical indicators of PKD patients.

Osteoporosis （OP） is a skeletal metabolic disease characterized by bone loss and destruction of bone microstructure. Changes in estrogen levels are not the only pathogenic factors for the occurrence and development of OP. MicroRNA （miRNA） plays an important regulatory role in cells. The complementary sequences of miRNA and targeted mRNA combine to inhibit the expression of targeted mRNA through post-transcriptional regulation， forming a complex regulatory network. Research suggests that miRNA is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases， including inflammatory diseases， metabolic diseases， and cancer. Targeted mRNA participates in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation in OP， mainly regulating the balance among bone construction， bone resorption， and osteoblast differentiation. Therefore， miRNA-based gene therapy is a rapidly developing disease treatment strategy. Traditional Chinese medicine can improve bone metabolism by intervening in miRNA differential expression to target and regulate osteogenic/osteoclast differentiation. This article summarized the targeting effects of miRNAs in physiological and developmental processes such as bone cell proliferation， differentiation， survival， and apoptosis， reviewed and classified their mechanisms of action and targets， and sorted out the current treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine for preventing and treating OP and drugs that exert bone protective functions through miRNAs. This review is expected to provide theoretical reference and research guidance for future research on OP treatment by regulating miRNA.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women,but there is currently a lack of accurate prognos-tic assessment systems.The Naples Prognostic Score(NPS)is a prognostic prediction system that incorporates inflammatory and nutritional indicators.It has been proven to have important clinical utility in predicting the prognosis of patients with malignancies such as colon cancer,gallbladder cancer,endometrial cancer,and lung cancer.In recent years,research has found that NPS may be superior to TNMstaging in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer patients.It is an independent predictor of overall sur-vival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)in breast cancer patients.This suggests that NPS has great potential for applica-tion in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer.

Objective:To construct an evaluation indicator system for the efficiency of nursing human resources in integrated medical and elderly care institutions using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and subsequently evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:This cross-sectional survey utilized literature review and investigative methods to initially establish a library of evaluation indicators for nursing human resource efficiency. The Delphi method was employed in two rounds of consultations with 17 experts from various fields, including nursing management, elderly care institution management, integrated medical and elderly care institution management, health economics management, and public health. The reliability of the indicator system was assessed based on factors such as expert enthusiasm, authority, concentration of opinions, and coordination. Adjustments, modifications, and improvements were made to the indicators based on expert opinions to establish the final indicator system. From August to December 2022, the DEA model was applied to evaluate the efficiency of 12 integrated medical and elderly care institutions in Haikou city based on this indicator system.Results:The constructed evaluation indicator system comprised 68 items divided into three levels: 9 primary indicators, 19 secondary indicators, and 40 tertiary indicators. The positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultations were 100% and 94.1%, with authority coefficients of 0.88 and 0.92, Kendall harmony coefficients of 0.471 and 0.348, and mean coefficients of variation of 0.16 and 0.12 ( P<0.001). DEA evaluation results for the 12 integrated medical and elderly care institutions showed that 5 were DEA effective institutions with comprehensive efficiency (OE), technical efficiency (TE), and scale efficiency (SE) values all equal to 1.000, while 7 were non-DEA effective institutions, including 4 with SE <1.000 but TE=1.000 and 3 with both SE and TE<1.000. Conclusions:The constructed evaluation indicator system demonstrates high enthusiasm, authority coefficients, and coordination in expert consultations, indicating high acceptability and comprehensive content with distinct levels and strong specialty characteristics. The DEA model′s evaluation results objectively and effectively reflect the efficiency of nursing human resources in integrated medical and elderly care institutions, demonstrating practical utility.

Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of Jinyinqingre oral liquid on acute lung injury in-duced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)in mice.Methods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups according to the random number table method:blank control group,model control group,Jinyinqingre oral liquid low-dose group,Jinyinqingre oral liquid medium-dose group,Jinyinqingre oral liquid high-dose group,and dexamethasone group.Except for the blank control group,the other groups were injected with lipopolysac charide(LPS)(5 mg·kg-1)into the trachea to establish the acute lung injury model of mice,and the Jinyinqingre oral liquid low,medium,and high groups were continuously administered the drug by gavage for three days.After 24 h,lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were collected from the six groups for follow-up detection.The pathological injury of lung tissue in each group was observed by HE staining.The total number of cells in BALF was detected.The to-tal protein content of BALF was detected by the BCA method.The contents of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,and IgM in BALF were detected by ELISA.The expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 proteins in lung tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Results Compared with model control group,Jinyinqingre oral liquid alleviated the pathological injury of lung tissue(P＜0.05),decreased the total cell count,total protein content and IgM expression in BALF(P＜0.01),and the expres-sion of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β in BALF was dreased(P＜0.05),the protein expressions of NF-κB and NL-RP3 in lung tissues was dreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Jinyinqingre oral liquid attenuated the pathological injury,inflammatory exudation,and expression of inflammatory cytokines in LPS-induced lung injury in mice,and its mechanism may be through the reg-ulation of NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway,providing a theoretical basis for its clinical application.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of Kirschner wire fixation combined with Suture-Bridge technique and simple Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of old lateral malleolar avulsion fractures under all-inside arthroscopy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 56 patients with old lateral malleolar avulsion fractures, admitted at Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022, including 32 males (32 feet) and 24 females (24 feet), aged 19-57 years [(35.2±11.1)years]. Twenty-five patients were treated with Kirschner wire fixation under all-inside arthroscopy (K-wire group), while the other 31 patients were treated with Kirschner wire fixation combined with Suture-Bridge technique under all-inside arthroscopy (K-wire combined with suture group). The surgical time, incision healing at 2 weeks after surgery, and fracture healing rate at 6 months after surgery of the two groups were detected. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores, and foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) scores [including activities of daily living (ADL) scores and sports function (S) scores] of the two groups were assessed before surgery, at 3, 6 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up. The anterior drawer test was performed at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The time of return to sports after surgery and complication rates were also recorded.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(14.2±2.2)months]. The surgical time in the K-wire combined with suture group was (56.3±12.5)minutes, longer than (41.1±8.2)minutes in the K-wire group ( P<0.01). The incisions in both groups were healed by first intention at 2 weeks after surgery. In the K-wire combined with suture group, all the fractures were healed at 6 months after surgery (100%), while in the K-wire group 22 patients (88%) obtained fracture healing ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores, FAAM-ADL scores, or FAAM-S scores between the two groups preoperatively ( P>0.05). At 3, 6 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores in the K-wire combined with suture group were (89.7±3.4)points, (92.8±2.8)points, and (94.9±3.3)points respectively, higher than (87.4±4.4)points, (90.4±4.1)points, and (92.5±4.6)points in the K-wire group ( P<0.05); the FAAM-ADL scores and the FAAM-S scores in the K-wire combined with suture group were (90.1±3.5)points, (91.5±2.9)points, (92.8±3.0)points and (91.4±5.4)points, (92.8±5.0)points, (94.4±4.8)points respectively, higher than (86.8±5.0)points, (88.7±3.8)points, (90.3±3.7)points and (88.0±5.3)points, (89.5±4.8)points, (91.5±5.2)points ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores, FAAM-ADL scores, and FAAM-S scores at all postoperative time points were higher than those preoperatively and increased with the passage of the follow-up time ( P<0.01). The results of the anterior drawer test at all postoperative time points in the two groups were negative. The time of return to sports after surgery in the K-wire combined with suture group was (9.2±1.3)weeks, shorter than (10.3±1.5)weeks in the K-wire group ( P<0.01). One patient (3.2%) in the K-wire combined with suture group and 3 patients (12.0%) in the K-wire group had Kirschner wire loosening and withdrawal ( P>0.05). Neither of the two groups developed complications such as nerve or tendon injuries. Conclusion:Compared with simple Kirschner wire fixation under all-inside arthroscopy, Kirschner wire fixation combined with Suture-Bridge technique under all-inside arthroscopy achieves higher fracture healing rate, more obvious improvement in life quality and ankle function, as well as earlier return to sports in the treatment of old lateral malleolar avulsion fractures.

Objective To compare the differences in gut microbiota between cirrhosis patients receiving transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)and those not,and explore the relationship between TIPS surgery and gut microbiota in order to provide new ideas for improving the prognosis of cirrhosis patients after TIPS surgery based on gut microbiota.Methods Those who had received TIPS surgery previously were assigned into the operation group,and those without the surgery served as the control group.Their stool samples were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing,and the correlation between gut microbiota and clinical indicators was analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in gender,age,body mass index(BMI),etiology and other baseline data between the 2 groups(P＞0.05),but obvious differences were observed in clinical serological indicators between them,including INR,APTT,RBC and PT counts,and HGB,ALP,ALB,total bilirubin(TBIL),and URE levels(P＜0.05).No statistical difference in alpha diversity was observed between the operation group and the control group(P＞0.05),but beta diversity was obviously different(P＜0.01),among which Bacteroides was increased in the operation group(P＜0.01)and Bifidobacterium was increased in the control group(P＜0.05).The function prediction analysis of gut microbiota showed that the metabolism of D-glutamine and D-glutamate(P＜0.05)and biosynthesis with secondary bile acids(P＜0.05)were up-regulated in the operation group compared with the control group.Correlation analysis between clinical indicators and flora indicated that TBIL and direct bilirubin(DBIL)were significantly correlated with the metabolic pathways of Bacteroides and Secondary bile acids biosynthesis.Conclusion Characteristic changes in gut microbiota are found in cirrhosis patients with and without TIPS surgery.Bacteroides may be involved in the regulation of metabolism of bile acids and thus increase bilirubin level.

Abstract In recent years, the role of hyperopia reserve in the prevention and control of myopia among children and adolescents has gradually gained recognition and importance. Implementing more refined preventive measures based on hyperopia reserve to further advance the prevention frontiers is crucial for reversing the trend of focusing on treatment over prevention and achieving the national health strategy goal to reduce the myopia rate among children and adolescents. The paper introduces the concept of hyperopia reserve, the ability and the detection methods to predict the onset of myopia. At the same time, it also discusses the establishment and application of reference values for hyperopia reserve and proposes a classification based prevention and management strategy based on hyperopia reserve, aiming to provide reference ideas and directions for advancing myopia prevention.
