Objective: To analyze the one year follow up changes and influencing factors of anisometropia among primary school students in Beihai, so as to provide data support for formulating targeted prevention and control strategies. Methods: In 2023 and 2024, visual acuity and refractive screening were conducted on primary school students in Beihai. A cohort matching method was used based on unique identifiers to link data from 2023 (baseline) Grades one to five with those from 2024 (follow up) Grades two to six, obtaining a total of 59 743 complete datasets. McNemar test and generalized estimating equations(GEE) model were employed to analyze the changing patterns of anisometropia. Results: The detection rate of anisometropia among primary school students in Beihai increased from 10.88% in 2023 to 12.30% in 2024 ( χ 2=97.12, P <0.01). Among them, the detection rate in Grade 1 decreased from 8.82% in 2023 to 7.50% in 2024, Grade 3 increased from 10.15% to 11.52%, Grade 4 increased from 12.10 % to 15.22%, Grade 5 increased from 14.61% to 17.88% ( χ 2=16.51,18.03,95.52,95.95,all P <0.05). The GEE results showed that the risk of anisometropia development was higher in girls than in boys ( OR =1.15), the risk of anisometropia increased by 16% with each 1 year increment in age ( OR =1.16) among primary school students, the risk of anisometropia development in Grade 5 was 2.20 times higher than that in Grade 1 ( OR =2.20)(all P <0.05). In lower grades, only the baseline anisometropia status in lower grades had a statistically significant effect on anisometropia among primary school students( OR =59.09), while the positive effects of gender and age difference gradually emerged and strengthened in middle and higher grades (all P ＜0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of anisometropia among primary school students in Beihai shows dynamic changes and influencing factors vary by grade level. It is necessary to develop stratified prevention and control strategies tailored to different grades.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of M1 bone marrow-derived macrophages （M1-BMDM） with Wnt5a knockdown on liver fibrosis and regeneration in a rat model of liver cirrhosis， and to investigate its gain-of-function effect compared with unmodified M1-BMDM. MethodsPrimary bone marrow-derived macrophages were isolated from rats and were polarized to M1 phenotype to construct M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD cells. A rat model of liver cirrhosis induced by CCl₄/2-AAF was established， and at the end of week 8， rats were randomly divided into model group， M1-BMDM group， M1-BMDM Wnt5a-knockdown empty vector group （M1-BMDM^KD-EV group）， and M1-BMDM Wnt5a-knockdown group （M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group）， with 6 rats in each group. On the first day of week 9， the rats in each group were given a single injection of the corresponding cells via the caudal vein， along with an intraperitoneal injection of a CCR2 inhibitor. Six rats without any treatment were used as normal control group. Samples were collected at the end of week 12 to assess liver histopathology， serum liver function parameters， hepatic stellate cell activation， and the expression levels of mature hepatocyte markers. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the model group， all cell treatment groups had significant alleviation of liver inflammatory response and significant reductions in the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in serum （all P<0.01）， and the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had a significantly lower serum level of AST than the M1-BMDM group （P<0.05）. The semi-quantitative analysis based on immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with the model group， all cell treatment groups had a significant reduction in the percentage of CD68-positive area （all P<0.05）， and compared with the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group， the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had a significant reduction in the percentage of CD68-positive area and a significant increase in the percentage of CD163-positive area （both P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， all cell treatment groups had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of CD68 and tumor necrosis factor-α （all P<0.05） and the protein expression level of CD68 （all P<0.01）； compared with the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group， the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had significant increases in the protein and mRNA expression levels of CD163 （both P<0.05）， significant reductions in the protein and mRNA expression levels of CD68 （both P<0.05）， and a significant reduction in the protein expression level of tumor necrosis factor-α （P<0.01）. Sirius Red collagen staining and alpha-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with the model group， all cell treatment groups had significant alleviation of liver collagen deposition and α-SMA-positive area， with the most significant changes in the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group， and compared with the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group， the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had significantly smaller Sirius Red-positive area and α-SMA-positive area and a significantly lower content of hydroxyproline in liver tissue （all P<0.05）. Compared with the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group， the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had significant reductions in the protein and mRNA expression levels of α-SMA and the mRNA expression level of COL-I and TGF-β （all P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， all cell treatment groups had a significant increase in the protein expression level of HNF-4α in liver tissue （all P<0.05）， and the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had significantly higher protein and mRNA expression levels of HNF-4α and hepatocyte specific antigen than the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group （both P<0.05）. The M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had a significantly higher serum level of albumin than the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group （P<0.01）. Immunofluorescence co-staining showed that compared with the model group， all cell treatment groups had a significant increase in the number of cells stained positive for HNF and HNF-4α and Ki67 （all P<0.01）， and the M1-BMDM^Wnt5a-KD group had a significantly higher number of such cells than the M1-BMDM^KD-EV group （P<0.05）. ConclusionInhibition of Wnt5a expression enhances the therapeutic effect of M1-BMDM on rats with liver cirrhosis induced by CCl₄/2-AAF， which provides new ideas for enhancing the anti-cirrhotic effect of M1-BMDM through genetic modification.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis （euDKA） induced by empagliflozin， and provide references for safe medication. METHODS Case reports of euDKA induced by empagliflozin were retrieved and analyzed from PubMed， Web of Science， CNKI， and Wanfang Data. The Naranjo’s scale was adopted to assess the causal relationship between empagliflozin and euDKA. RESULTS A total of 29 patients were enrolled， including 16 males and 13 females，with a median age of 58 years. All patients were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus； 22 patients had at least one comorbidity. The median time to euDKA onset was 60 days after administration， and 7 cases occurred within 2 weeks of treatment. Perioperative periods，fasting，and low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diets were the main predisposing factors. Common presentations included nausea，vomiting， fatigue， tachypnea，and tachycardia. The causal relationship between empagliflozin and euDKA was assessed as “probable” in all cases. According to adverse reaction severity grading， 13 cases were grade 3 （severe） and 16 cases were grade 4 （life-threatening）. All patients discontinued empagliflozin and recovered after corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS euDKA is a serious adverse reaction to empagliflozin， which mostly occurs early in treatment. Perioperative periods， fasting， and ketogenic diets are prone to induce euDKA. Elderly patients and those with comorbidities are at higher risk. Risk assessment should be conducted before clinical administration； blood ketones and acid-base monitoring should be strengthened in the early medication period； withhold the drug before elective surgery， avoid prolonged fasting；upon diagnosis， discontinue empagliflozin and initiate intravenous insulin， provide fluid resuscitation promptly， and use other treatments to improve patient prognosis.

Objective To explore the independent risk factors for early failure of internal mammary artery grafts after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and to construct and preliminarily evaluate a risk prediction model for the decline of internal mammary artery bridges, optimizing postoperative risk stratification and management strategies for patients. Methods Patients who underwent CABG at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was the failure of the internal mammary artery bridge one year after surgery, and the secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) within five years after surgery, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and revascularization. Patients were divided into a failure group and a non-failure group based on whether there was early failure of the internal mammary artery bridge after surgery. Independent risk factors for the failure of the internal mammary artery bridge were explored through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and multivariate logistic regression, and a failure risk prediction model was constructed and cross-validated. Patients were stratified for MACCE risk according to the total score of independent risk factors, and the 5-year cumulative MACCE-free rate was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 657 patients were included, among whom there were 54 patients in the failure group, including 38 males and 16 females, with an average age of (61.85±8.03) years; there were 603 patients in the non-failure group, including 467 males and 136 females, with an average age of (60.45±8.23) years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non-left main lesion [OR=3.28, 95%CI (1.41, 7.62), P=0.006], pulsatility index (PI)>3.0 [OR=2.63, 95%CI (1.20, 5.75), P=0.016], quantitative flow ratio (QFR)>0.80 [OR=5.57, 95%CI (2.98, 10.41), P<0.001] and in-hospital complications [OR=4.02, 95%CI (1.59, 10.19), P=0.003] were independent risk factors for the failure of internal mammary artery grafts after CABG. Compared with the prediction model in previous literature [area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.632, 95%CI (0.588, 0.688)], the risk prediction model constructed with QFR>0.80, PI>3.0, non-left main lesion and in-hospital complications had a higher predictive ability for early failure of internal mammary artery grafts [area under curve: 0.758, 95%CI (0.707, 0.817); net reclassification index: 0.272, 95%CI (0.180, 0.370); comprehensive discriminative improvement index: 0.109, 95%CI (0.059, 0.158); P<0.05]. The risk score of independent risk factors for internal mammary artery graft failure demonstrated significant MACCE risk stratification efficiency in the 5-year patient follow-up, with the high-risk group showing a significantly higher incidence of MACCE compared to the medium and low-risk groups (P=0.001). Conclusion QFR>0.80, PI>3.0, non-left main lesions, and in-hospital complications are independent risk factors for early failure of internal mammary artery grafts after CABG. The constructed risk prediction model based on this has preliminary capabilities in predicting the risk of internal mammary artery graft failure and MACCE risk stratification, which is beneficial for the postoperative management of CABG patients and improving their mid-long term prognosis.

Objective:To establish UPLC characteristic spectrum of Hujiao standard decoction and the determination method for the content of piperine.Methods:15 batches of freeze-dried powder of Hujiao standard decoction were prepared according to the traditional decocting method. The range of paste yield was determined, and the UPLC characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction was established. High-resolution mass spectrometry and control products were used to identify common peaks. Based on the common peak area, the weights of each peak were compared using entropy weight method, and correlation analysis and similarity evaluation were conducted using clustering analysis and grey correlation method; a method for determining the content of piperine in Hujiao decoction pieces and freeze-dried powder of standard decoction was simultaneously established, and the transfer rate was calculated.Results:The extraction rate of 15 batches of freeze-dried powder of Hujiao standard decoction ranged from 10.4% to 16.8%, with an average of 14.0%. The content of piperine ranged from 12.2 to 30.0 mg/g, with an average of 18.5 mg/g, and the transfer rate ranged from 4.0% to 7.8%, with an average of 5.8%. Six common peaks were identified in the established characteristic spectrum and identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and control products respectively. Peak 1 was N-trans-feruloyltyramine, peak 3 was piperine and the similarity was 0.959-1.000. Clustering analysis and grey correlation analysis showed that there was little difference between quality of Piperis Fructus and origins.Conclusion:In this study, the characteristic spectrum and content determination method of freeze-dried powder of Hujiao standard decoction are established, which can provide references for quality detection and control of Hujiao standard decoction or its derivative products.

Objective To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)on the sleep disorder and examination results of recruits.Methods At a training base,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)was used to screen the recruits with sleep disorders(total score of PSQI>7).The recruits were randomly assigned to rTMS group or sham rTMS group.Both groups received cognitive and behavioral intervention therapy,including sleep health education and relaxation training.Moreover,the rTMS group was treated with rTMS at the right posterior parietal lobe by continuous theta burst stimulation(cTBS)twice a day at an interval of at least 50 min for 5 consecutive days as a course of treatment with an interval of 2 days for a total of 2 courses of treatment.The coil position and stimulus intensity of sham rTMS group were consistent with the rTMS group,but the head of subjects was perpendicular to the coil plane and there was no effective stimulation.Before and after treatment,PSQI,self-rating depression scale,generalized anxiety disorder-7 and health questionnaire-15 were used to evaluate the sleep,mood and physical state of the recruits.The training result was assessed one month after treatment.The total effective rate of PSQI improvement and examination results were compared between the two groups.The independent influencing factors of excellent examination result were analyzed.Results Among 351 recruits,83 with sleep disorders completed treatment and follow-up.There were 40 patients in the rTMS group and 43 patients in the sham rTMS group.There was no significant difference between the two groups at baseline.After treatment,the total effective rate of PSQI improvement in the rTMS group was higher than that in the sham rTMS group(77.50%vs 53.49%,P=0.022).The average examination score and excellent rate of the rTMS group were higher than those of the sham rTMS group(91.58±3.19 vs 89.47±4.67,P=0.020;85%vs 65.12%,P=0.037).Logistic regression analysis showed that the treatment mode(rTMS group)was the independent influencing factor of excellent examination results(P=0.032).Conclusion rTMS can effectively and safely improve the sleep disorders and examination results of recruits.rTMS may play a positive role in improving the learning and training effect of recruits,which needs to be further proved.

Objective To investigate the role of the BNIP3-PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in mediating the inhibitory effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction(BYHWT)on mitochondrial autophagy in human synovial fibroblasts from rheumatoid arthritis patients(FLS-RA)cultured under a hypoxic condition.Methods Forty normal Wistar rats were randomized into two groups(n=20)for daily gavage of BYHWT or distilled water for 7 days to prepare BYHWT-medicated or control sera.FLS-RA were cultured in routine condition or exposed to hypoxia(10％O2)for 24 h wigh subsequent treatment with IL-1β,followed by treatment with diluted BYHWT-medicated serum(5％,10％and 20％)or control serum.AnnexinV-APC/7-AAD double staining and T-AOC kit were used for detecting apoptosis and total antioxidant capacity of the cells,and the changes in ROS,ATP level,mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca2+homeostasis were analyzed.The changes in mRNA and protein expressions of BNIP3,PI3K and AKT and mRNA expressions of LC3,Beclin-1 and P62 were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Results Treatment with BYHWT-medicated serum dose-dependently lowered apoptosis rate of IL-1β-induced FLS-RA with hypoxic exposure.The treatment significantly decreased T-AOC concentration,increased ROS production,autophagosome formation and ATPase levels,and lowered mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca2+level in the cells.In IL-1β-induced FLS-RA with hypoxic exposure,treatment with BYHWT-medicated serum significantly increased BNIP3 protein expression,decreased the protein expressions of PI3K and AKT,increased the mRNA expressions of BNIP3 and P62,and lowered the mRNA expressions of PI3K,AKT,LC3 and Beclin-1 without significantly affecting Beclin-1 protein expression.The cells treated with 5％and 10％BYHWT-medicated serum showed no significant changes in LC3 expression.Conclusion BYHWT inhibits mitochondrial autophagy in IL-1β-induced FLS-RA with hypoxic exposure possibly by inhibiting BNIP3-mediated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To validate the validity of the auricular cartilage fish-shaped framework in comprehensive rhinoplasty for Chinese Han females.Methods:The clinical data of Chinese Han female patients with short nose and saddle nasal deformity undergoing primary rhinoplasty at the Department of Plastic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, from August 2021 to October 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients underwent comprehensive rhinoplasty, involving the implantation of an auricular cartilage fish-shaped framework at the nasal tip and a dorsal nasal implant on the nasal bridge.Postoperative follow-up monitored for complications. At 6-month postoperatively, a satisfaction survey was conducted among the patients, their family, or friends using a scale where: very satisfied with improvement=4, moderately satisfied with improvement=3, Slightly satisfied with improvement=2, No improvement=1. Additionally, two plastic surgeons evaluated the postoperative outcomes using a scale where: excellent=5, very good=4, good=3, fair=2, poor=1.Preoperative and 6-month postoperative photographs were processed using Image J software to measure the following parameters: nasolabial angle, nasofacial angle, nasofrontal angle, columellar lobular angle, nasal height, and nasal length. Paired t-tests were used for statistical analysis, with P < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 18 patients were included, with a mean age of (26.4 ± 7.2) years (range: 18-45 years). The mean postoperative follow-up duration was (23.0 ± 9.3) months (range: 6 months to 3 years). All patients recovered well, with no severe complications occurring.The mean patient satisfaction score regarding the postoperative outcome was 3.50 ± 0.62. The mean satisfaction score from family or friends was 3.33 ± 0.69. The two evaluating plastic surgeons rated the outcomes as 4.17 ± 0.85 and 3.94 ± 0.93, respectively, both falling between the excellent and very good categories on the assessment scale.Statistically significant differences (all P < 0.01) were found between preoperative and 6-month postoperative measurements for all assessed nasal parameters. Nasolabial angle: 99.68° ± 2.95° vs. 95.37° ± 1.09°; nasofacial angle: 29.47° ± 2.99° vs. 32.82° ± 2.23°; nasofrontal angle: 140.72° ± 5.18° vs. 133.79° ± 4.43°; columellar lobular angle: 44.86° ± 3.43° vs. 39.23° ± 6.44°; nasal height: (57.52 ± 0.60) mm vs. (58.41 ± 0.39) mm; nasal length: (50.08 ± 0.54) mm vs. (50.64 ± 0.31) mm. Conclusion:The use of the auricular cartilage fish-shaped framework combined with a prosthesis in rhinoplasty, requiring only unilateral or bilateral auricular cartilage, effectively improved low nose and short nose deformities in the majority of Chinese Han females. This validates the favorable outcome of this framework in comprehensive rhinoplasty for this population.
