OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the influential factors for all-cause mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) treated with polymyxin B. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM and CNKI were searched to collect clinical studies on all-cause death within 30 days or 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B in patients with CR-GNB infection from database establishment to July 2025. After literature screening, data extraction and evaluation of literature quality, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 12 studies were included, involving 1 326 patients, among whom 529 patients died, with a mortality rate of 39.89%. Meta-analysis results showed that combined with cardiovascular disease [OR=2.06, 95%CI (1.37, 3.09), P =0.005 ] , increased Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [OR=1.20, 95%CI (1.07, 1.35), P =0.003 ] , mechanical ventilation [OR=2.35, 95%CI (1.65, 3.34), P <0.001 ] , continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) [OR=2.58, 95%CI (1.67, 3.97), P <0.001 ] , bloodstream infection [OR=3.24, 95%CI (2.19, 4.78), P <0.001 ] , multiple-site infection [OR=1.51, 95%CI (1.03, 2.20), P =0.03 ] , septic shock [OR=3.19, 95%CI (1.94, 5.24), P <0.001 ] , use of vasoactive drugs [OR=2.90, 95%CI (1.97, 4.27), P <0.001 ] , and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) [OR=2.17, 95%CI (1.41, 3.36), P <0.001 ] were risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with CR-GNB infection treated with polymyxin B. Conversely, an extended duration of polymy xin B treatment [OR=0.92, 95%CI (0.86, 0.99), P =0.03 ] and early administration after CR-GNB infection [OR=0.47, 95%CI (0.25, 0.85), P =0.01 ] were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with cardiovascular disease, receiving mechanical ventilation or CRRT, having bloodstream infection, multiple-site infection or septic shock, combining with vasoactive drugs, with AKI and increased SOFA scores have a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Conversely, extending the duration of polymyxin B treatment (beyond 7 days) and early administration within 48 hours after confirmed CR-GNB infection can significantly reduce the risk of all-cause mortality.

AIM: To explore preoperative risk factors affecting residual astigmatism after Toric intraocular lens(IOL)implantation, and construct and verify a clinically applicable prediction model.METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent Toric IOL implantation at Puyang Oilfield General Hospital and the Second People's Hospital of Puyang City from October 2023 to August 2025. Patients were categorized into two groups according to residual astigmatism at 3 mo postoperatively: >0.25 D group and ≤0.25 D group. Preoperative clinical data and ocular parameters of the two groups were collected and compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen risk factors, and a nomogram prediction model was established accordingly. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, calibration curve, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were adopted to evaluate discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability of the model. Bootstrap method was applied for internal validation.RESULTS: Totally 103 patients(103 eyes)were included, with 72 patients(72 eyes)in the group with residual astigmatism ≤0.25 D, including 38 males and 34 females, with an average age of 67.35±6.12 y; There were 31 cases(31 eyes)in group with residual astigmatism >0.25 D, including 19 males and 12 females, with an average age of 69.87±6.45 y. The proportion of patients with a history of diabetes, as well as the values for axial length, horizontal corneal diameter, flat corneal curvature(K1), steep corneal curvature(K2), astigmatic axis and proportion of lens nuclear hardness grade III-IV were significantly higher in the residual astigmatism group >0.25 D than those in the residual astigmatism ≤0.25 D group(all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified increased horizontal corneal diameter, higher K1 value, higher K2 value, and higher lens nuclear hardness(grade III-IV)as independent risk factors for postoperative residual astigmatism >0.25 D(all P<0.05). The nomogram constructed from these factors demonstrated that the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.794, with a sensitivity of 80.31% and a specificity of 75.20%. The concordance index(C-index)of internal validation was 0.865. Calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test(χ2=5.231, P=0.734)indicated good consistency between predicted and actual values of the model.CONCLUSION: The nomogram model established based on horizontal corneal diameter, K1, K2 and lens nucleus hardness exhibits favorable predictive performance. It can effectively predict the risk of residual astigmatism prior to Toric IOL surgery, providing reference for individualized clinical surgical planning.

Objective:
To define the mechanism by which swine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication.
Methods:
Porcine 3D4/21 cells with TRIM25 overexpression or knockdown were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Viral replication was quantified by immunoblotting, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and 50% tissue culture infectious dose assays. Type I interferon signaling was assessed by transcript quantification, interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated response element reporter assays, and co-immunoprecipitation.Viral RNA binding was tested by RNA immunoprecipitation.
Results:
TRIM25 overexpression reduced viral RNA and infectious titers, whereas TRIM25 knockdown increased replication (p < 0.01). TRIM25 increased interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated gene expression and enhanced interferon-beta and interferonstimulated response element promoter activity (p < 0.01). Mechanistically, TRIM25 promoted Lys63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I and increased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3. TRIM25 also bound vesicular stomatitis virus genomic RNA, and binding required the C-terminal region.
Conclusions
and Relevance: Porcine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication by amplifying type I interferon signaling and directly binding viral RNA.

Abstract
To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

his cross-sectional study employed convenience sampling to enroll 1 994 community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥65 years) undergoing health examinations at a Guangzhou community hospital between January and December 2024, aiming to investigate associations between blood lipid profiles and cognitive impairment. Cognitive function was assessed using the AD8 scale, with demographic characteristics (age, sex, education, occupation), health status (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), and lifestyle factors (smoking/alcohol use) collected via questionnaires. Fasting blood samples quantified triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Propensity score matching (PSM) balanced baseline characteristics between lipid-level groups. Pre-PSM analyses revealed significant intergroup differences: TG groups differed in sex, BMI, alcohol use, hypertension, and self-rated health ( P<0.05); TC groups in sex, age, occupation, diabetes, and hypertension; LDL-C groups in sex, age, occupation, diabetes, hypertension, and daily living ability; HDL-C groups in sex, age, education, occupation, BMI, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension. Post-PSM adjustment eliminated baseline differences ( P>0.05). Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors demonstrated that elevated TG levels conferred a 48% reduced risk of cognitive dysfunction [ OR (95% CI): 0.52 (0.29-0.94)], whereas TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C showed no significant associations (all P>0.05). These findings suggest an inverse association between higher triglyceride levels and cognitive dysfunction risk in older adults, highlighting TG′s potential protective role in cognitive health.

In modern society, sugary foods have become an integral part of many people′s lives. However, excessive sugar consumption has adverse effects on both overall health and oral health, serving as a contributing factor to the global increasing incidence in oral diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, obesity, and diabetes. In response to the health risks related to high-sugar diets, the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Dental Federation (FDI) have proposed initiatives and recommendations, with various governments implementing different policies and strategies to reduce sugar intake. Chinese government has also taken proactive measures. The "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" initiative introduced by the State Council in 2019 established a crucial benchmark in limiting the average daily intake of added sugar to 25 g per person forward to 2030. Experts from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the field of oral health have meticulously examined the impacts of sugar reduction on oral health, as well as strategies, methods, and practical considerations related to reducing sugar intake through several meeting and wrote the "Expert consensus: reducing free-sugar for caries prevention", which was subsequently reviewed and revised based on the feedback from multiple stakeholders. They have conducted thorough analyses of global trends in sugar reduction and best practices to provide valuable insights to China for crafting effective policies and strategies on sugar reduction. This consensus mainly includes the classification of free sugars, the latest scientific evidence on dental caries, recommendations from WHO on sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, nutrition labeling, advertising, food reform, adjusting supply systems, education, and promotion strategies, as well as sugar reduction actions taken by various governments around the world. Combining the actual situation in China, policy recommendations and authoritative popular science knowledge on sugar reduction for caries prevention to public are proposed to advocate for experts in multiple fields to focus on sugar reduction for caries prevention, promote the work process, and provide the scientific basis for oral health educators.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of urea cycle disorder (UCD), the efficacy and safety of glyceryl phenylbutyrate (GPB) therapy in pediatric patients with UCD.Methods:This study was a retrospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical study. The clinical data of 20 pediatric patients with UCD who received GPB treatment at 9 hospitals nationwide between December 2021 and August 2024 were collected. The clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed, ammonia levels and other laboratory results were evaluated pre-post GPB therapy by paired t-tests or Wilcoxon tests. Results:Among the 20 pediatric patients with UCD, there were 8 males and 12 females, and the onset age was 2.8 (1.4, 5.7) years. The ammonia levels were 174 (125, 342) μmol/L at first onset. The symptoms included vomiting in 6 cases, drowsiness in 5 cases, epilepsy in 5 cases, developmental delay in 5 cases, psychiatric and behavioral abnormalities in 3 cases, and lethargy in 1 case, and 18 cases exhibited abnormal liver function. Twenty cases included 6 UCD subtypes, with 11 cases being ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. A total of 27 variants were identified, 11 (41%) of which were novel. The age of patients who began GPB therapy was 4.0 (1.5, 6.6) years. Ten cases stopped GPB after 4.2 (3.4, 5.3) months, with 4 patients undergoing liver transplantation and 6 discontinuing for financial reasons. The remaining ten patients continued GPB therapy for 11.6 (8.6, 14.0) months. The duration of GPB treatment was 6.0 (4.2, 12.3) months, at the final visit, the levels of ammonia, platelets and aspartate aminotransferase were lower compared to those of pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The serum albumin level was higher than that of pre-treatment ( P=0.016). Two patients suffered only one episode of acute hyperammonaemia, with ammonia levels of 232 and 141 μmol/L, respectively. Nine cases experienced adverse effects potentially related to GPB, decreased appetite in 6 cases, vomiting in 3 cases, abnormal skin oil odor in 2 cases, somnolence, fatigue and diarrhea each in 1 case, with symptoms improved within 6 (3, 10) days. Conclusions:UCD primarily manifests with neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms, and early diagnosis of UCD could be achieved through the analysis of ammonia. GPB may effectively reduce ammonia levels in UCD pediatric patients, with favorable safety and tolerability.

Objective:To understand the current status of family resilience in children with autism and explore its influencing factors, providing a basis for developing intervention measures to improve family resilience in these families.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select children with autism and their caregivers who underwent rehabilitation training at the Department of Child Developmental Behavior, Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March to September 2023. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, the Chinese version of the Parenting Burnout Scale, and the Caregiver Stress Scale.Results:A total of 280 questionnaires were distributed, and 271 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the 271 children with autism, 210 were male and 61 were female, with the majority aged 3-5 years old (169 cases). Among the 271 caregivers, 21 were male and 250 were female, with the majority aged 30-39 years old (149 cases). The total score of the Chinese version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale was (70.59 ± 14.08) points, with scores of (49.96 ± 10.23) points for family communication and problem-solving, (7.13 ± 1.62) points for social resource utilization, and (13.52 ± 3.31) points for maintaining a positive attitude. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the child′s age, disease duration, reimbursement method, parenting burnout, and caregiver stress were influencing factors of family resilience in children with autism ( t values were -10.40-3.48, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of family resilience in children with autism needs improvement. Higher levels of parenting burnout and caregiver stress are associated with lower levels of family resilience. Future interventions should be developed based on these influencing factors to promote the physical and mental health of children with autism and their caregivers.
