Congenital ectopialentis(CEL)is a significant cause of blindness-related disease in children and adolescents, with a highly heterogeneous etiology. It can manifest either as a prominent ocular phenotype of connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome or as an isolated condition. Emerging evidence indicates that zonular microfibrils and extracellular matrix homeostasis represent the core pathological basis. Variants in genes including FBN1, ADAMTSL4, LTBP2, ADAMTS10/17, ASPH, and SUOX lead to lens malposition and anterior segment remodeling by disrupting microfibril assembly, anchoring, and signaling regulation. Clinically, after excluding secondary causes, a stratified diagnosis based on phenotypic presentation should be pursued. Genetic testing can adopt a stepwise strategy of “panel-first, supplemented by whole-exome/whole-genome sequencing(WES/WGS)”, combined with family-based follow-up and reassessment. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the pathogenic basis, genetic spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations, diagnostic workflows, and testing strategies, and presents a clinically oriented stratified diagnostic framework aimed at improving early recognition and systemic risk management.

ObjectiveTo establish three standardized rehabilitation unit models covering acute, critical and comprehensive recovery stages for traumatic brain injury (TBI) that fit the whole-course characteristics, clarify their multidisciplinary collaborative framework, standardized procedures, and information management system, and verify the clinical effectiveness of this staged rehabilitation unit on long-term functional prognosis and in-hospital complications of TBI patients. MethodsThis study was conducted at two stages: model construction and efficacy verification. At the first stage, TBI rehabilitation units for acute, critical and recovery stages were established in the Department of Neurosurgery, Intensive Care Unit and Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, respectively, with unified multidisciplinary team configuration, standardized assessment and treatment protocols, collaborative workflows, and a dedicated information management system. At the second stage, 324 TBI patients admitted to the newly built rehabilitation units from July, 2023 to July, 2025 were enrolled as the observation group, and 167 TBI patients receiving traditional management from January, 2018 to December, 2022 were retrospectively selected as the control group. The primary outcomes were 1-year post-injury Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) scores. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of in-hospital complications and the mean indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter. ResultsThe 1-year GOS score was significantly higher (t = -7.836, P < 0.001), and the DRS score was significantly lower (t = -6.742, P < 0.001) in the observation group than in the control group. The overall incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (χ² = 18.762, P < 0.001). The incidences of pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, lower extremity venous thrombosis and joint contracture deformity were all significantly reduced (χ² > 4.328, P < 0.05). The indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (t > 10.276, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe acute-critical-comprehensive three-stage standardized TBI rehabilitation unit could significantly improve the long-term functional outcomes of TBI patients, reduce the incidence of complications, and shorten the indwelling time of invasive tubes through multidisciplinary collaboration, whole-course standardized management and information-based quality control. This model conforms to the pathological and functional laws of TBI, realizes seamless whole-course connection from acute treatment to recovery rehabilitation, and has good clinical feasibility and promotion value. It can provide evidence-based evidence and practical reference for the homogenized and standardized development of TBI rehabilitation in China.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne disease outbreaks in Wuhan from 2006 to 2023, and to provide a scientific basis for the development of foodborne disease prevention and control measures. MethodsDescriptive statistical analyses were performed on foodborne disease outbreaks confirmed by the district and municipal center for disease control and prevention (CDC) in Wuhan from 2006 to 2023, and the attack rate and case fatality rate were calculated as well. ResultsA total of 182 foodborne disease outbreaks were reported in Wuhan from 2006 to 2023, with a cumulative of 2 820 cases. Among which, 3 cases were dead, with an annual average attack rate of 1.22% and a case fatality rate of 0.11%. The highest number of outbreaks occurred in collective canteens (43.96%, 80/182), the highest attack rate was observed in catering facilities (11.03%), and the highest case fatality rate was found in households (1.45%). Among the foodborne disease outbreaks with identified etiologies, microbial factors were the leading causes (36.26%, 66/182), with the main pathogens being norovirus, Bacillus cereus, and other unspecified bacteria. Fungal factors were mainly attributed to poisonous mushrooms, with a relatively high fatality rate of 2.22% (2/90). Outbreaks caused by bacterial factors were more common in the central urban area (30.28%, 33/109), while fungal-related outbreaks were more frequent in the outlying urban areas (24.66%, 18/73). ConclusionCollective canteens are the main venues for foodborne disease outbreaks in Wuhan. Microbial factors are the main pathogenic factors, and poisonous mushrooms are the leading causes to death. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision on collective canteens, carry out various forms of public awareness campaigns on poisonous mushroom poisoning, and, if required, cooperate with the gardening department to eradicate wild poisonous mushrooms in the green belts. A collaborative cooperation involving multiple departments is essential to reduce the occurrence of foodborne disease outbreaks.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types of colorectal polyp(CP)and to explore their correlation with hyperlipidemia and other related risk factors.Methods From January 2022 to December 2023,174 patients with CP(polyp group)and 87 patients without intestinal abnormalities(non-polyp group)who underwent colonoscopy or treatment at the Endoscopy Center of Dongguan Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were selected.Their data of medical records were collected,including gender,age,body mass index(BMI),history of diabetes mellitus,history of hypertension,blood lipid indicators[total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and arteriosclerosis index(AI)],the presence of fatty liver or not,and the foci,number,size,and pathological types of polyps.Moreover,TCM syndrome differentiation of patients in the polyp group was carried out,and then the clinical characteristics and TCM syndrome types of CP as well as their correlation with hyperlipidemia were statistically analyzed.Results(1)The age group of 41-60 years old accounted for a higher percentage in patients of the polyp group and non-polyp group,59.8％in the polyp group and 49.4％in the non-polyp group,and the comparison of ages between the two groups showed statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(2)The polyp foci of CP were mostly located in the left colon,accounting for 63.2％;single polyp was common,accounting for 69.0％;the size of polyps was usually 1-10 mm,accounting for 90.2％;the polyps were predominated by non-adenomatous polyps,accounting for 51.1％.(3)In the polyp group,spleen deficiency and dampness retention syndrome was the predominated syndrome type,accounting for 44.8％,and then followed by syndrome of damp-heat in large intestine,which accounted for 30.5％.(4)Comparison of the distribution of BMI and history of diabetes mellitus among various TCM syndrome types showed statistically significant differences(P＜0.05),while no statistically significant differences were presented in the comparison of gender,age,history of hypertension,and history of fatty liver,as well as the polyp foci,number,size,and pathological types among patients with various TCM syndrome types(P＞0.05).(5)The percentage of complication of hyperlipidemia in the polyp group was significantly higher than that in the non-polyp group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,and Al in the polyp group were significantly higher than those in the non-polyp group,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).However,the difference of the HDL-C level between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(6)Comparison of TC and LDL-C levels among the patients with different polyp foci and LDL-C level among the patients with various TCM syndrome types showed statistically significant differences(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while no statistically significant differences of blood lipid indicators were presented among the patients with various foci,number,sizes,and pathological types of the polyp and among the patients with various TCM syndrome types(P＞0.05).Conclusion Age is a risk factor for CP.CP patients are usually differentiated as the syndrome of spleen deficiency and dampness retention and the syndrome of damp-heat in large intestine,and the distribution of TCM syndrome types exert a certain correlation with BMI and history of diabetes mellitus.Hyperlipidemia is also a risk factor for the onset of CP,and abnormal levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,and Al exert certain correlation with the occurrence of polyps.TC and LDL-C have a certain correlation with the polyp foci,and LDL-C may also be related to the distribution of TCM syndrome types.

Objective:To investigate whether sivelestat sodium (SV) mitigates paraquat (PQ)-induced acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)-associated pulmonary fibrosis in mice by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.Methods:Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups ( n=8 per group): Control group, PQ group, PQ+SV group, and SV group. The PQ and PQ+SV groups received an intraperitoneal injection of PQ solution (20 mg/kg) to establish a PQ poisoning model, while the Control and SV groups received an equivalent volume of saline. One hour later, the PQ+SV and SV groups were administered SV solution (100 mg/kg) intraperitoneally, whereas the Control and PQ groups received saline. After 48 hours, the mice were euthanized, and lung tissues were collected. Pathological changes were assessed via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining, followed by Smith and Ashcroft scoring. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome, caspase-1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and collagen I. Western blotting was used to measure NLRP3 protein levels. Intergroup comparisons were conducted using one-way ANOVA with LSD post-hoc correction. Results:The Control and SV groups exhibited normal lung morphology, whereas the PQ+SV group showed reduced hemorrhage, congestion, and edema compared to the PQ group. Both PQ and PQ+SV groups exhibited significant weight loss post-intervention compared to the Control group (both P<0.001). HE and Masson staining revealed thickened alveolar septa, congestive and edematous alveolar walls, extensive inflammatory cell infiltration, and collagen deposition in the PQ group. In contrast, the PQ+SV group demonstrated alleviated alveolar wall congestion, reduced inflammatory infiltration, and decreased collagen deposition, with significantly lower Smith and Ashcroft scores [(5.92±1.34) vs. (10.88±1.88), P<0.001; (3.42±1.35) vs. (5.75±0.79), P<0.001]. Immunohistochemistry indicated reduced expression percentages of NLRP3 and caspase-1 in the PQ+SV group compared to the PQ group [(12.79%±0.43%) vs. (16.59%±0.40%), P<0.001; (17.71%±0.92%) vs. (19.84%±0.71%), P<0.001]. Similarly, α-SMA and collagen I expression in lung interstitium was significantly lower in the PQ+SV group [(11.79%±0.58%) vs. (16.14%±0.74%), P<0.001; (16.43%±0.56%) vs. (18.86%±0.60%), P<0.001]. Western blotting confirmed decreased NLRP3 protein expression in the PQ+SV group [(0.54±0.12) vs. (0.81±0.24), P<0.05]. Conclusions:SV attenuates PQ-induced ALI/ARDS-associated pulmonary fibrosis progression by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome, suggesting that NLRP3 may be a key therapeutic target for early intervention in PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Lean six sigma (LSS) emphasizes patient demand-oriented, and continuously optimizing prolesses to achieve efficiency and standardization in medical services. Starting in 2021, a specialized children′s hospital (comprising one main campus and three branch campuses) introduced the LSS management method. Through define, measure, analyze, improve, and control, the hospital utilized tools such as questionnaire surveys, SIPOC models, and fishbone diagrams to identify pain points in the building of multi-campus child-friendly hospital and develop improvement measures.To address the main issues of insufficient cross-campus collaboration, significant disparities in service quality among different campuses, unclear functional positioning of each campus, and inadequate integration with social security mechanisms, the hospital implemented a " homogeneity-differentiation-coordination" management mode. The hospital implemented unified diagnosis and treatment standards and clinical pathways, carried out remote consultations and expert rotations, completed mutual recognition of examination and testing results, optimized child friendly labeling and child friendly environment, and built a " hospital-to-hospitals, hospital to medical schools, and hospital to community health centers" linkage platform, etc., to promote the standardization of diagnosis and treatment processes, clear functional positioning of the hospital area, and efficient resource allocation. Through practice, the outpatient appointment rate and patient satisfaction rate in the main hospital had increased from 86.72% and 98.64% in January December 2021 to 91.87% and 99.72% in January December 2024, respectively; The patient waiting time had been shortened from 26.54 minutes to 21.94 minutes, and the efficiency of medical treatment and service experience had been significantly improved. As of 2024, mutual recognition of 214 inspection and testing items had been achieved cross hospital campuses, forming a collaborative pattern of " main hospital leading, campuses support, and resource complementarity", and significantly improving the level of collaboration and child friendly connotation among multi-campus. This practice explored the integration path of multi-campus collaborative governance and child-friendly services, which could provide reference and inspiration for the similar hospitals.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of the medicated stick massage at meridian knot points in treating Qi stagnation and blood stasis type lumbar disc herniation(LDH)based on the meridian theory.Methods The patients with LDH in the ward 5 of orthopedics department in this hospital from Sep-tember 2024 to April 2025 were selected as the research subjects.On the basis of routine treatment and care,the control group adopted the medicated stick massage at points,while the experimental group adopted the medicated stick massage at meridian knots.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Japanese Orthopaedic So-ciety(JOA)score,TCM syndrome scores and TCM syndrome therapeutic effects before intervention and in two weeks after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results The VAS scores,each item score and total score of JOA,TCM syndrome scores and TCM therapeutic effects after 2-week intervention in the experimental group all were superior to those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Selecting the medicated stick massage at the meridian knots under the guidance of meridian theory could significantly improve the pain symptoms,lumbar function,TCM syndrome scores,the therapeutic effects are definite,and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
