Neonatal diabetes mellitus （NDM） is a rare monogenic disorder primarily caused by insufficient insulin secretion resulting from mutations in the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes. Sulfonylureas， represented by glibenclamide， have become the standard therapy for this type of NDM by precisely closing the mutated ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β cells， thereby restoring insulin secretion. Clinical studies confirm that sulfonylureas enable over 90% of patients to successfully transition from insulin to oral treatment， achieving long-term stable glycemic control and improving neurological outcomes to a certain extent. In terms of safety， severe hypoglycemia induced by sulfonylureas is relatively rare and gastrointestinal reactions are mild； moreover， sulfonylureas show good long-term tolerability， and have no adverse effects on child growth and development. In the future， by further refining the full-chain management pathway of “rapid genetic diagnosis-early intervention-specialized dosage forms-long-term follow-up”， the clinical application of sulfonylureas is expected to provide NDM patients with an optimized treatment regimen and maximize their health benefits.

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.

AIM:To evaluate the immediate effect of vocal training on tear film stability in patients with dry eye disease.METHODS:A prospective crossover controlled study. From April 1 to April 20, 2026, volunteers with mild-to-moderate dry eye [Ocular Surface Disease Index-6(OSDI-6)score: 4-8] were enrolled. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups to receive two interventions in different sequences. Group A underwent a 50-min standardized vocal training session during the first intervention, while Group B served as a blank control; The two groups crossed over to the alternative intervention for the second session, with a 1-week washout period between the two interventions. The immediate post-intervention changes in Dry Eye Symptoms Questionnaire(CDES-Q)score, pre-and post-intervention non-invasive tear film breakup time(NIBUT), including first NIBUT and average NIBUT, as well as tear meniscus height(TMH), were recorded for each session.RESULTS:A total of 32 eligible participants(64 eyes)were enrolled and completed the study per protocol. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups with different intervention sequences. Group A(16 participants, 32 eyes)comprised 3 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 61.69±4.56 y and a mean OSDI-6 score of 5.750±1.183. Group B(16 participants, 32 eyes)comprised 3 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 63.19±1.56 y and a mean OSDI-6 score of 5.250±1.438.There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups(P>0.05). After vocal training intervention, the net effect size for first NIBUT was 1.883 s(P=0.042), and for average NIBUT was 2.076 s(P=0.019). No significant change was observed in TMH(P=0.652). The CDES-Q score difference was -47.188(P<0.001). Further individual data analysis revealed that 59% of participants exhibited prolonged first NIBUT and 50% exhibited prolonged average NIBUT after vocal training.CONCLUSION: Vocal training can immediately improve tear film stability. This therapeutic approach shows promise for dry eye management and provides a reference for future large scale and long-term investigations.

Abstract The prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents has become a national health strategy in China, and its prevention and management are transitioning from experience driven approaches to precise and intelligent strategies. Understanding the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in myopia prevention and control can provide a foundation for a comprehensive myopia prevention and control system. AI, with its powerful capabilities in data analysis and pattern recognition, shows significant potential in myopia risk prediction, screening and diagnosis, intervention support and behavior monitoring in children and adolescents. The article systematically summarizes the scientific evidence and consensus on the application of AI for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents. From the perspective of public health practice, it proposes hierarchical expert recommendations for multiple scenarios including schools, families, communities and medical institutions, as well as policy and research with development. Furthermore, it discusses current challenges and future directions, aiming to provide a reference for building an intelligent, precise and fully covered comprehensive myopia prevention and control system in children and adolescents.

Objective To explore the safety of Yttrium-90 resin microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) on malignant liver tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 patients with malignant liver tumors who underwent ⁹⁰Y-SIRT from February 2023 to November 2024 at Weifang People’s Hospital. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment were analyzed to assess the safety of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT. Results Among the 64 patients, there were 52 males (81.25%) and 12 females (18.75%); the average age was (56.29±11.08) years. Seven patients (10.94%) had tumors with maximum diameter of less than 5 cm, 38 patients (59.38%) had tumors with maximum diameter of 5-10 cm, and 19 patients (29.68%) had tumors with maximum diameter of greater than 10 cm. There were 47 cases (73.44%) of solitary lesions and 17 cases (26.56%) of multiple lesions; 53 cases (82.81%) were primary liver cancers and 11 cases (17.19%) were metastatic liver cancers. Of the 64 patients, 63 successfully completed the Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (^99mTc-MAA) perfusion test and received the ⁹⁰Y-SIRT; one patient received ⁹⁰Y-SIRT after the second ^99mTc-MAA perfusion test due to a work error. The most common adverse reactions included grade 1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation in 26 cases (40.62%) and grade 2 in 2 cases (9.37%), grade 1 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation in 27 cases (42.18%) and grade 2 in 7 cases (10.93%); grade 1 nausea in 17 cases (26.56%) and grade 2 in 6 cases (9.37%); grade 1 abdominal pain in 12 cases (18.75%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%); grade 1 vomiting in 11 cases (17.18%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%). Conclusion The adverse reactions of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT for treating malignant liver tumors are mild, indicating good safety.

Since the beginning of the new century, advances in understanding the intricate interactions between oncology and the immune system have accelerated the rapid development of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. However, resistance to immunotherapy is inevitable. Therefore, uncovering the mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance, proposing strategies to overcome resistance, and identifying future research directions are imperative. Given the limitations of space in each article, this review will explore the complex mechanisms underlying immunotherapy resistance. These mechanisms involve almost all cell types within the body, excluding foreign cancer cells. Notably, these cells serve as recipients (either inhibitory or stimulatory, or both) and producers of signals, playing different roles in various contexts. At the molecular level, these mechanisms include genetic and epigenetic abnormalities in all cells within the microenvironment, as well as the influence of a variety of protein kinase, growth factors, and cytokines with temporal and spatial heterogeneity. At the macroscopic level, host factors such as nutritional metabolism, comorbidities, and microbiota within the organs, as well as neuro-psychological regulation, influence the efficacy of immunotherapy.

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.

Objective To establish an efficient and stable model of pelvic inflammatory disease in rats via a non-surgical method,and to evaluate its application in pharmacodynamic testing.Methods Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into the following groups:control group;model group with phenol for 7 d;model group with phenol for 10 d;treatment group modeled with phenol;model group with low concentration of bacteria;model group with high concentration of bacteria;and treatment group modeled with bacteria.Rats in the model and treatment groups were injected with 25%phenol gel and 2×107 or 2×108 Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus mixture via a non-surgical method,to construct a rat model of pelvic inflammatory disease.Rats in the treatment groups received the Chinese patent medicine Jingangteng capsules by gavage,and rats in the control group received the same volume of solvent solution.The health status,weight changes,and uterine appearance were monitored and the uterine coefficient was calculated.Pathological changes in the uterus and fallopian tubes,endometrial thickness,and number of glands were detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining.Serum levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Protein expression of the macrophage marker CD68 was detected by immunofluorescence.Expression of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor(NF)-κB pathway-related proteins in the uterus was detected by Western blot.Results The mortality rate in the model group was only 5%.Compared with the control group,model rats showed decreased body weight,increased uterine coefficient,pathological changes in the uterus and Fallopian tubes,thinner endometrium,fewer glands,significantly higher serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α and more macrophages in the uterine tissue,and activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.The 7 d phenol and low-concentration bacterial solution models were judged to be mild pelvic inflammatory disease models,and the 10 d phenol and high-concentration bacterial solution models were considered severe pelvic inflammatory disease models.Treatment with Jingangteng capsules relieved the pathological symptoms in the uterus and fallopian tubes,in line with the efficacy evaluation of clinical pelvic inflammatory disease.Conclusions We established rat models of pelvic inflammatory disease using phenol and a mixed bacterial solution via a non-surgical method,to simulate the different pathological states of pelvic inflammatory disease caused by different factors.These models will be suitable for evaluating drug efficacy and elucidating the pathological mechanism of pelvic inflammatory disease.

The role of osteoblast(OB)autophagy in regulating bone metabolism is a research hotspot in the field of biomedicine.OB autophagy can regulate osteoporosis(OP)induced by aging,oxidative stress,estrogen deficiency,and glucocorticoids(GCs)by mediating factors such as run and cysteine rich domain containing Beclin-1 interacting protein(RUBCN),silent information regulator of transcription 1(SIRT1),and osteoprotegerin(OPG).OB autophagy can also regulate OP by activating notch receptor(Notch)and forkhead box protein O subfamily(FoxO),up-regulating the expression of osteogenic transcription factors(such as Runx2 and Osterix),and mediating the amp-activated protein kinase(AMPK),mammalian target of rapamycin complex(mTOR),Wnt,and c-Jun n terminal kinase(JNK)pathways to act on OB and osteoclast(OC)differentiation.Exercise is an important means of improving OP,and its molecular mechanism is closely related to the up-regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K),adenosine monophosphate(AMP),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),and SIRT1 expression.These in turn activate key factors or pathways(including AMPK,mTOR,Wnt,PI3K/protein kinase B(Akt)/mTOR,and nuclear transcription factor-KB(NF-κB)),regulate the expression of downstream target genes(β-catenin,mTOR,FoxO3a and B cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2))to up-regulate the expression of autophagy factors(Beclin-1,autophagy related genes(ATG),and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3)),and promote OB autophagy to restore the dynamic balance in the body,thereby regulating bone formation and bone resorption and improving OP.The relationships among exercise,OB autophagy and OP,however,remain unclear and there is currently a lack of systematic reviews.Here we review and analyze the mechanism of OB autophagy in relation to exercise-induced improvements in OP,and provide a new theoretical basis and research ideas for the prevention and treatment of OP.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of facial and tongue chromaticity parameters in patients with gastrointestinal tumors by setting the inspection image characteristics of patients with gastrointestinal tumors as the main research content;To establish an auxiliary diagnostic model for gastrointestinal tumors.Methods One-way ANOVA,t-test,Mann-whitney U test,canonical correlation analysis and Spearman statistical methods were used to analyze the characteristics of inspection image indexes and correlation of tumor markers of the 391 cases in the control group and 359 patients with gastrointestinal tumors.Machine learning methods such as SVM,Random Forest,KNN,Naive Bayes,XG Boost and Ada Boost were used to establish an auxiliary diagnostic model for gastrointestinal tumors.Results In terms of facial indicators,there were differences in F-R,F-G and F-B indicators among the control group,early-stage gastrointestinal cancer patients,and mid-to late-stage gastrointestinal cancer patients,in the comparison of tongue features among,TC-L,TB-L and TB-a of the control group,patients with early gastrointestinal tumors,and patients with intermediate and advanced gastrointestinal tumors showed a gradual downward trend;the AUC of the auxiliary diagnosis model of gastrointestinal tumor disease based on the chromaticity parameters of face tongue image constructed by Ada Boost algorithm was 0.930.Conclusion The auxiliary diagnostic model of gastrointestinal diseases constructed by facial and tongue images has good diagnostic effect,which can provide objective data support for in-depth exploration of the complex relationship between diagnosis and disease.
