AIM: To explore the effect of dihydroquercetin on visual function in mice with form deprivation myopia based on the NOD-like receptor thermoprotein domain-related protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome pathway.METHODS: The C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group and form deprivation myopia model group, and the form deprivation myopia model group was constructed by covering the right eye with a translucent eye patch. After successful modeling, the mice in the model group of form deprivation myopia were randomly divided into model group, low-, medium- and high-dose dihydroquercetin groups, and high-dose dihydroquercetin + NLRP3 agonist group. The diopter and axial length of mice in each group were detected. The kit was used to detect the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in retinal tissue. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated spot-like protein(ASC), Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 in retinal tissues. Western blot was used to detect the expression of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 proteins in retinal tissues. TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis in retinal tissue.RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the diopter of the mice in the model group decreased, and axial length increased, and the SOD decreased whereas MDA, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 increased, and the rate of apoptosis in retinal tissue increased(all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the diopter of mice in the low-, medium- and high-dose dihydroquercetin groups increased, axial length shortened, the SOD increased, whereas MDA, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 decreased, and the rate of apoptosis in retinal tissue decreased(all P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose dihydroquercetin group, the high-dose dihydroquercetin+NLRP3 agonist group had reduced diopter, increased axial length, decreased SOD levels, elevated MDA, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels, as well as increased apoptosis rate in retinal tissue(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Dihydroquercetin can improve visual function in mice with form deprivation myopia by inhibiting pyroptosis and oxidative stress responses, which may be related to the suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome. NLRP3 agonists can partially mitigate the effects of high-dose dihydroquercetin on form deprivation myopia in mice.

Health economics evidence plays an important role in linking clinical value evidence with health resource allocation decisions in the development of clinical practice guidelines. It can not only effectively balance clinical effectiveness and economic feasibility but also avoid forming "idealized" recommendations that are detached from the affordability of the healthcare system or the burden-bearing capacity of patients. To promote guideline developers to use health economics evidence more standardizedly and fully, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current application status, existing challenges, access channels, and application processes of health economics evidence in current guidelines, and on this basis, puts forward considerations and suggestions for strengthening and standardizing the application of health economics evidence in China's clinical practice guidelines.

Objective:To analyze the association of sedentary time and physical activity with the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in non-smoking women aged 40 years and above in Songjiang District, Shanghai.Methods:Based on a natural population-based cohort in Songjiang, a total of 18 707 non-smoking women who were aged 40 years and above and without COPD at baseline survey were enrolled in the study. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the associations of the duration of sedentary behavior, physical activity with the risk for COPD at baseline survey, and the hazard ratio ( HR) of risk for COPD and its 95% CI were calculated. Stratified analyses were performed based on age, BMI, history of respiratory diseases and so on. Sensitivity analyses were conducted by excluding the cases diagnosed with COPD within one year after the baseline survey. Results:As of March 31, 2024, a total of 691 new COPD cases had been recorded after a median follow-up time of 6.96 years with an incidence density of 53.22 per 10 000 person-years. After adjusting for relevant confounders, in the tertile subgroups of sedentary time, the risk for COPD reduced by 17% in the short sedentary time group compared with the long sedentary time group ( HR=0.83,95% CI:0.70-0.99). Compared with the low physical activity level and long sedentary time group, the risk for COPD reduced by 24% in the high physical activity level and short sedentary time group ( HR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.61-0.95) and by 23% in the low physical activity level and short sedentary time group ( HR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.60-0.97). Compared with the non-physical exercise and long sedentary time group, the risk for COPD reduced by 28% in the non-physical exercise and short sedentary time group ( HR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.60-0.87). These associations remained when the cases diagnosed with COPD within one year of the baseline survey were excluded. Conclusions:Increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary time have beneficial effects to prevent COPD in non-smoking women, and reducing sedentary time alone may also reduce the risk for COPD if increasing physical exercise or other physical activity is not possible.
