AIM: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of differential expression of Cyclin D1 and p53 in eyelid tumors.METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent surgical resection for eyelid tumors at our hospital between March 2018 and March 2023. Participants were categorized into benign and malignant groups based on tumor characteristics. Clinical data were collected. Genetic data for eyelid tumors were obtained from the GEO database, and differential gene analysis, including volcano plot visualization and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, was performed using the Sangerbox 3.0 platform. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX in tissue samples. Correlations with clinical features were analyzed using Spearman analysis, and prognostic factors were identified via Logistic regression analysis.RESULTS: This study included 69 patients with eyelid tumors(78 eyes), categorized into a benign group(37 patients, 41 eyes)and a malignant group(32 patients, 37 eyes)based on tumor characteristics. There were significant differences between the two groups in histological subtype, TNM staging, vascular invasion, differentiation status, and local infiltration(all P<0.05). Among benign tumors: pigmented nevi in 11 eyes(27%), hemangiomas in 9 eyes(22%), squamous cell papillomas in 5 eyes(12%), epidermoid cysts in 5 eyes(12%), seborrheic keratoses in 4 eyes(10%), neurofibromas in 3 eyes(7%), and both calcifying epithelioma and xanthelasma in 2 eyes each(5%); among malignant tumors: basal cell carcinoma in 18 eyes(49%), meibomian gland carcinoma in 8 eyes(22%), squamous cell carcinoma in 5 eyes(14%), sebaceous gland carcinoma in 4 eyes(11%), lymphoma and malignant melanoma each in 1 eye(3%). At the follow-up cutoff date of March 2025, the 2-year survival rate in the benign group(95%)was significantly higher than that in the malignant group(78%; P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis identified 4 103 differentially expressed genes, including Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX, which were predominantly involved in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway and calcium-related signaling. Spearman analysis revealed that local invasion(rs=0.71, P<0.05)and TNM stage(rs=0.73, P<0.05)correlated with Cyclin D1 expression; local invasion(rs=0.76, P<0.05)and histological subtype(rs=0.65, P<0.05)correlated with p53 expression. Logistic regression results indicated that Cyclin D1, p53, TNM staging, and local invasion were prognostic risk factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of these four indicators had the highest predictive value for prognosis(AUC=0.83).CONCLUSION: High expression of cyclin D1 and p53 serves as molecular markers for distinguishing benign from malignant eyelid tumors and assessing prognosis. Combined detection of these markers with TNM staging and local invasion demonstrates high predictive value for prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in patients with sepsis, and to construct a nomogram prediction model. Methods A total of 360 patients with sepsis admitted from January 2020 to December 2025 were enrolled as study subjects. The risk factors for ICU-AW were identified by logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was constructed, and the model was validated. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, APACHE II score, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of immobilization, duration of sedation, and NLR were risk factors for the occurrence of ICU-AW (P<0.05), while ALB was a protective factor (P<0.05). A nomogram model was constructed based on these seven variables. After validation via Bootstrap resampling, ROC curve showed an AUC of 0.949 (0.929–0.969) and a corrected AUC of 0.942 (0.940–0.948), indicating good discrimination degree of the model. Hosmer-Lemeshow test for calibration curve revealed a chi-square value of 10.188 (P=0.252), suggesting that the predicted value of fitting was generally consistent with the actual value. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that when the threshold was in the range of 0.05–0.9, the model had a good net benefit. Conclusion The nomogram prediction model for sepsis ICU-AW based on seven indicators including age, APACHE II score, NLR, ALB, and the durations of mechanical ventilation, immobilization, and sedation exhibits good predictive efficiency and stability. This nomogram prediction model is helpful for the clinical rapid screening of ICU-AW high-risk groups in patients with sepsis, and meets clinical needs for early warning and precise prevention and control.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of the myopia prevention and control guidance station(MPCGS)on axial elongation in school-age children.METHODS:This was a prospective cohort study.Students enrolled in Grades 1 to 3 of primary schools in Qingyang District, Chengdu, in the first half of 2022 who completed continuous follow-up from 2022 to 2025 were included in this study. Among them, three schools that implemented the MPCGS in 2023 were assigned to the intervention group, and another three schools in the same district without MPCGS served as the control group. The intervention group received the school-hospital-family integrated model for myopia prevention and control,while the control group only received routine vision screening without such intervention measures.Students were categorized into three groups based on their grade in 2022: Group A(Grade 1), Group B(Grade 2), and Group C(Grade 3). Comparisons were stratified by grade, with independent samples t-tests used for intergroup analyses of annual axial elongation(ΔAL)between the intervention and control groups, and repeated-measures ANOVA(Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc test)used for intervention group comparisons across different time points.RESULTS:Totally 3 404 students were enrolled in this study, including 1 709 in the intervention group(897 males and 812 females, aged 7.64±0.88 y)and 1 695 in the control group(902 males and 793 females, aged 7.75±0.97 y). In the intervention group, there were 537 students in subgroup A(293 males and 244 females, aged 7.08±0.28 y), 721 in subgroup B(369 males and 352 females, aged 8.03±0.29 y), and 451 in subgroup C(235 males and 216 females, aged 9.07±0.30 y). In the control group, there were 559 students in subgroup A(295 males and 264 females, aged 7.05±0.28 y), 497 in subgroup B(269 males and 228 females, aged 8.04±0.30 y), and 639 in subgroup C(338 males and 301 females, aged 9.08±0.30 y). No significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups within each grade(A, B, and C)at baseline age, sex, SE, AL, ΔSE(2022-2023), and ΔAL(2022-2023)(all P>0.05). During the first intervention year(2023-2024), intergroup comparisons revealed no significant differences in ΔAL between the intervention and control groups within Groups A, B, and C(all P>0.05). During the second intervention year(2024-2025), the intervention group showed significantly lower ΔAL than the control group within Groups A and B(PSymbol|@@0.001 and P=0.017, respectively), while no significant difference in ΔAL was detected in Group C(P=0.419). In the intervention group, there were significant differences in ΔAL at different time points among Groups A, B and C(all P<0.001). Compared with the first year before intervention, the ΔAL of each subgroup significantly decreased in the second year of intervention(all P<0.0167).CONCLUSION:The implementation of the school-hospital-family integrated MPCGS model was associated with slowed axial elongation. This association exhibited a time-dependent cumulative effect and was more pronounced in lower-grade children(grades 1-2).

Abstract: To explore the latent profiles of physical activity among junior and senior high school students and the association with short-video addiction, so as to provide evidence for the prevention of short-video addiction among adolescents. Methods: In November 2024, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 20 840 students from 120 junior and senior high schools in Guangdong Province. Physical activity and short-video addiction were assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Short-video Addiction Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent classes of physical activity. The robust three-step approach was used to examine the effects of demographic variables, including sex, school stage, age, and residence, on profile membership, and the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars (BCH) method was used to compare short-video addiction levels across profiles after adjusting for demographic variables. Results: Four latent profiles of physical activity in junior and senior high school students were identified:low-frequency low-duration profile ( n =1 668, 8.00%), weekday high-frequency activity profile ( n = 12 408 , 59.54%), weekday low-frequency activity profile ( n =5 107, 24.51%), and high frequency high-duration profile ( n = 1 657 , 7.95%). With the high-frequency high-duration profile as the reference, girls were more likely to be assigned to the weekday high-frequency activity profile and less likely to be in the low-frequency low-duration profile compared with boys ( B =0.27, -0.33 ); senior high school students had higher odds of membership in the other three profiles than junior high school students ( B =0.63- 1.09 ); increasing age was associated with increased odds of the low-frequency low-duration profile ( B =0.11); rural students were less likely to belong to the other three profiles than urban students ( B =-0.97 to -0.79) (all P <0.01). After adjusting for demographic variables, short-video addiction scores differed significantly across physical activity profiles in junior and senior high school students ( χ 2=390.23, P <0.01), with scores decreasing in the following order:low-frequency low-duration profile, weekday low-frequency activity profile, weekday high-frequency activity profile, and high-frequency high-duration profile. Conclusions Short-video addiction levels vary across different physical activity patterns in junior and senior high school students. Overall, participants with high-frequency and high-duration participation score the lowest, whereas those with low-frequency and low-duration participation score the highest.

Callicarpa is an important medicinal plant in China, which has hemostatic, antibacterial, and antioxidant pharmacological effects, and the efficacy of astringing and arresting bleeding, clearing heat and detoxification, activating blood, and resolving stasis is outstanding. At the same time, Callicarpa can be used as an ornamental plant because of its gorgeous flowers and fruits. Callicarpa has good market development prospects, but the long seed reproduction cycle directly limits the large demand for seedlings in its industrial development. Asexual reproduction technology is the basis for the industrialization development of Callicarpa, which is helpful in producing high-quality seedlings and medicinal materials. Although Chinese and foreign scholars have achieved remarkable results in the study of asexual reproduction of Callicarpa, there is no report on the large-scale production of seedlings of Callicarpa. Integrating and improving its asexual reproduction technology can promote the development and utilization of Callicarpa, improve its medicinal value, and create significant economic benefits. Therefore, the authors reviewed the effects of cutting, season, plant growth regulators, substrates, environment, and management measures on the cutting of Callicarpa and the research progress of tissue culture propagation affected by explants, basic media, exogenous additives, subculture cycles, culture conditions, and transplanting substrates. The mechanism of adventitious root formation was reviewed at the cellular, physiological, and biochemical levels, so as to put forward the problems and corresponding solutions in the study of asexual propagation technology and regulatory mechanism of Callicarpa and point out the future research directions. The study aims to provide a reference for in-depth research on the asexual propagation technology of Callicarpa and the commercial production of its high-quality seedlings.

Proanthocyanidin B_2(PAC-B_2), a polyphenolic dimeric compound comprising two epicatechin molecules linked by a C-C bond, is extensively found in traditional Chinese medicines, with anti-tumor and anti-oxidant activities. Given the limited bioavailability, a thorough investigation and comprehensive understanding of PAC-B_2 metabolism in vivo are essential for elucidating therapeutic forms and mechanisms. In the present study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) in the negative ion mode was employed to acquire the MS/MS information of PAC-B_2 and metabolites in urine and feces samples of the rats administrated with PAC-B_2. Online energy-resolved MS(ER-MS) was applied as supplementary to obtain the full collision energy ramp-MS~2 spectra(FCER-MS~2) of isomers-of-interest, which implied comprehensive MS~2 information of targeted compounds. Finally, the possible metabolic pathways of PAC-B_2 in rats were proposed. The primary fragmentation behaviors of PAC-B_2 in the negative ion mode included quinone methide fission between C_4-C_8 bond, retro Diels-Alder cracking of F-ring, heterocyclic ring fission of C-ring, and neutral loss of small molecules such as H_2O. A total of 25 metabolites were tentatively elucidated in urine and feces samples of rats administrated with PAC-B_2 by fragmentation pattern and reported literature. Two groups of isomers, M3/M4/M5 and M9/M11, were confirmatively differentiated based on the relationships between optimal collision energy provided by FCER-MS~2 and bond properties, including bond length and bond dissociation energy. In addition to the ring-opening and methylation, PAC-B_2 could also be metabolized into epicatechin and low molecular weight phenolic acids, which were subsequently subjected to dehydroxylation, ring-opening, methylation, sulfation, and glucuronidation. The structural information provided by online ER-MS and FCER-MS~2 enabled the differentiation of isomers and improved the identification confidence. More importantly, the present study deeply analyzes the in vivo metabolic pathways of PAC-B_2, providing a basis for the research on the pharmacological mechanism of this compound.

Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans. It emphasizes the use of orthodontic strategies, including jaw growth modification, tooth extraction or non-extraction for anterior teeth retraction, and maxillofacial vertical control. These strategies aim to reduce anterior teeth and lip protrusion, increase chin prominence, harmonize nasolabial and chin-lip relationships, and improve the facial profile of patients with protrusive facial deformities. For severe skeletal protrusive facial deformities, orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment may be suggested. This consensus summarizes the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of numerous renowned oral experts nationwide, offering reference strategies for the correction of protrusive facial deformities.
