AIM:To observe the effect of cationic nanoemulsion eye drops on the tear film and ocular surface morphology of orthokeratology wearers, and to provide a basis for the clinical selection of eye drops during orthokeratology wear. METHODS:A prospective study was conducted on patients with refractive errors who were fitted with orthokeratology lenses for the first time at Anhui Aier Eye Hospital,from February 2025 to October 2025. Patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group, which received a cationic nanoemulsion eye drops, or the control group, which received a 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops. One drop of the assigned lubricant was instilled in each eye before lens insertion and before lens removal in both groups for 3 consecutive months. Uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, anterior corneal curvature, tear film break-up time, tear film lipid layer score, and corneal fluorescein staining score were compared between the two groups at baseline and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after lens wear. RESULTS: A total of 64 eyes(all right eyes)from 64 patients with refractive errors were enrolled. Ultimately, 60 patients completed the final follow-up, including 30 in the experimental group(n=30; male/female: 14/16; age: 9.57±1.07 y)and the control group(n=30; male/female: 12/18; age: 9.43±1.01 y). No significant intergroup differences were found in uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, anterior corneal curvature, or corneal fluorescein staining scores either before or after lens wear(all P>0.05).The tear film break-up time was significantly longer and tear film lipid layer score was significantly better in the experimental group than in the control group at post-wear time point(all P<0.05). Uncorrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, and anterior corneal curvature improved significantly from baseline at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after lens wear in both groups(all P<0.05). Corneal fluorescein staining scores increased significantly from baseline at 1 wk and 1 mo in the control group(both P<0.05), whereas no significant change was observed in the experimental group. No cases of severe corneal injury(score of 3)were found in either group. CONCLUSION: Cationic nanoemulsion eye drops have a similar effect to 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops in improving the visual acuity and corneal morphology of orthokeratology wearers, but have more advantages in stabilizing the tear film and improving the state of the tear film lipid layer, and have good safety, so they can be used as an ideal choice of eye drops for orthokeratology wearers.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, associated factors, and vaccine effectiveness of two pertussis cluster outbreaks in two primary schools in Yangzhong City in 2025, so as to provide evidence for school based epidemic prevention and control.
Methods:
From August 26 to 30, 2025, a pertussis questionnaire was administered to the epidemic affected classes of two primary schools (school A and school B) in Yangzhong City. A descriptive epidemiological retrospective analysis was used to characterize the pertussis cluster outbreaks in Yangzhong City from March to July 2025. A 1∶5 matched case control study (79 cases, 395 controls) was performed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify associated factors, and the clinical symptom incidence rates, types of pertussis containing vaccines, and timeliness of vaccination were compared between groups using Fisher s exact test.
Results:
From March to July 2025, a total of 79 pertussis cases were reported in the two schools, with attack rates of 1.33% and 1.01%, respectively. Cases were predominantly aged 7-8 years (85.37% in school A, 73.68% in school B), and the main clinical manifestation was productive cough (63.29%). The pneumonia incidence rate among hospitalized cases ( 57.14 %) was higher than that among nonhospitalized cases(4.17%)(Fisher s exact test, P <0.01). The interval from the last dose to onset was concentrated at 6 to <7 years (44 cases). Logistic regression showed that children exposed to secondhand smoke in daily life ( OR = 3.86 ), those whose desk mates or front/back desk mates took leave due to cough ( OR =4.67), and those whose dining table mates or front/back table mates took leave due to cough ( OR =3.67) had significantly higher risks of pertussis (all P <0.05). A high proportion of both the case group and the control group received the acellular DTaP vaccine (97.47% and 96.96%, respectively),while a low proportion received the pentavalent vaccine (1.27% and 3.04%, respectively). Additionally, one case received only three doses of the acellular DTaP vaccine.The difference in vaccine type distribution between the two groups was not statistically significant (Fisher s exact test, P =0.31).
Conclusions
The outbreaks represent breakthrough infections under high vaccine coverage. Close contact and secondhand smoke exposure are the main risk factors. A booster immunization strategy with diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine should be implemented for school aged children.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of non-seroconverted cases after rabies vaccination and observe the effect of booster vaccination.Methods:A retrospective collection of data was conducted from March 2022 to March 2023 across 409 rabies vaccination clinics in 27 provinces in China, focusing on cases with rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels less than 0.5 IU/ml after vaccination.Results:A total of 77 cases were identified in whom seroconversion was not observed within 30 days post-vaccination with the rabies vaccine. The gender distribution was 51.9% male and 48.1% female, with ages ranging from 2 to 83 years old. Delayed vaccination was observed in 11 cases (14.3%), and 63 cases (81.8%) received human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) injections. None of the cases had a confirmed immunosuppressive disease or taking immunosuppressive drugs, and the body mass index (BMI) distribution ranged from 14.37 to 34.74 kg/m 2. Seventy-six cases seroconverted after 1 to 3 doses of rabies vaccines as a booster vaccination. One case that did not seroconvert after the initial booster vaccination seroconverted after receiving additional 2 doses of vaccine. All patients were followed up for one year, with no cases of rabies reported. Conclusions:The characteristics of cases that failed to seroconvert after the full course of rabies vaccination lacked specificity, and booster vaccination could lead to seroconversion.

Objective:To investigate the curative effect and possible mechanism of rifaximin treatment on monocrotaline-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) in mice.Methods:Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups and treated with solvent control, monocrotaline, and rifaximin, respectively. The histopathological changes of the liver and intestine were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The differences were compared in liver parameters, serum liver enzymes, inflammatory factors, apoptotic factors, gut microbiota, and gut tight junction proteins among three groups of mice. The inter-group comparison was conducted using a t-test and one-way analysis of variance.Results:The rifaximin-treated group had significantly improved liver histopathology. The serological levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were (559.04±89.42) U/L and (676.90±106.25) U/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the PA-HSOS model group [(846.05±148.46) U/L and (953.87±58.10) U/L, P<0.05], and were accompanied by lower levels of apoptotic cells and inflammatory factors. Additionally, the rifaximin-treated mice group gut microbiota had higher diversity compared with the PA-HSOS group ( P<0.05), and the Shannon index was 7.77±0.10 and 7.16±0.07, respectively, indicating apparent differences in microbiota among different groups. The abundance of Firmicutes in the rifaximin group was 39.58%±0.56%, which was significantly higher than that in the model group (24.25%±0.64%, P<0.05), while the abundance of Bacteroidetes was 54.7%±0.41%, which was significantly lower than that in the model group (70.92%±0.49%, P<0.05). Simultaneously, the expressions of gut tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin showed an upward trend and validated transcription levels compared to the model group following rifaximin intervention ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Rifaximin can alleviate monocrotaline-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in mice, and its mechanism may be via gut microbiota regulation, which in turn plays a role in improving intestinal barrier function.
