Objective: To explore the relationship between visual acuity and physical fitness of university freshmen, so as to provide reference for myopia prevention and control for freshmen. Methods: From October to November 2022, 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, selected from Guangxi Police College in 2022 by using the stratified cluster random sampling method, were reviewed for the results of visual acuity test and physical fitness scores. The physical fitness indices were evaluated by using the Z scores of physical fitness test scores, and the strength of association between the level of physical fitness index and myopia was analyzed by using Logistic regression model. Results: Among 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, 917 (42.5%) students were diagnosed screening myopia, including 66 (3.1%) cases of high myopia, 383 (17.7%) cases of moderate myopia and 468 (21.7%) cases of mild myopia. The differences in the distribution of visual acuity tests among students with different physical fitness indices, body mass index, and gender were statistically significant ( Z/H=54.50, 49.53, 15.51, P <0.01). Low level and low middle level physical fitness indices were associated with screening myopia among freshmen[ OR (95% CI )=2.81(1.93-4.08),1.87(1.38-2.54)], and low level physical fitness indexes were associated with high myopia [ OR (95% CI )=7.22(2.33-22.32)] ( P <0.01). Conclusions Screening myopia among college freshman without majoring in public safety administration is related to physical fitness, and low level and low middle level physical fitness index are risk factors for myopia. Improving the level of physical fitness might be effective in preventing myopia.

Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective: To investigate whether zerumbone ( ZER) has the effect of preventing cisplatin ( Cis) -induced acute kidney injury (Cis-AKI) . Methods: The MTT method was used to detect the effect of different concentrations of ZER on the cell viability of Cis-AKI. The in vivo and in vitro models of Cis-AKI mice were estab- lished by dividing into control group , separate administration group , model group , and dose group. Western blot and immunofluorescence experiments were used to detect the expression changes of kidney injury marker-1 ( KIM- 1) , phosphorylated NF-κB p65 ( P-p65 ) , Cleaved casepase3 , receptor interacting protein kinase 1 ( RIPK1) , RIPK3 , and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) . Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of KIM-1 , TNF-α , interleukin-6 ( IL-6) , and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) . Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining confirmed the therapeutic effect of ZER on Cis-AKI. RNA-seq and cell thermal shift (CETSA) were used to explore possible target proteins. Results : MTT results showed that ZER could alleviate the decrease in cell viability of Cis-AKI ; in vivo and in vitro studies showed that compared with the model group , after treatment with ZER , its KIM-1 , P-p65 , Cleaved casepased3 , RIPK1 , RIPK3 , TNF -α expres- sion decreased significantly , and the mRNA expression of KIM-1 , TNF-α , IL-6 mRNA , and MCP-1 decreased. PAS staining showed that ZER had a therapeutic effect on Cis-AKI. RNA-seq and CETSA analysis showed that ZER might prevent and treat Cis-AKI by targeting the PIM1 protein. Conclusion ZER may alleviate Cis-AKI and im- prove inflammatory response and necroptosis by regulating PIM1 protein. ZER is expected to be a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of Cis-AKI.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),commonly known as primary liver cancer,is a major cause of malignant tumors and cancer-related deaths in China,accounting for approximately 85％of all cancer cases in the country.Several guidelines have been used to diagnose and treat liver cancer.However,these guidelines provide a broad definition for classifying advanced liver cancer,with an emphasis on a singular approach,without considering treatment options for individual patients.Therefore,it is necessary to establish a comprehensive and practical expert consensus,specifically for China,to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of HCC using the Delphi method.The classification criteria were refined for Chinese patients with HCC,and the corresponding optimal treatment regimen recommendations were developed.These recommendations took into account various factors,including tumor characteristics,vascular tumor thrombus grade,distant metastasis,liver function status,portal hypertension,and the hepatitis B virus replication status of patients with primary HCC,along with treatment prognosis.The findings and rec-ommendations provide detailed,scientific,and reasonable individualized diagnosis and treatment strategies for clinicians.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)is a group of clinical syndromes related to severe acute liver function damage and multiple organ failure caused by various acute inducing factors on the basis of chronic liver disease.Due to its serious condition,rapid progression and high mortality,it has attracted more and more attention.Recent studies have shown that the pathogenesis of ACLF mainly includes direct injury and immune injury.As the main immune cells in the liver,the immunoregulatory role of liver macrophages in ACLF has been increasingly recognized.Liver macrophages have excellent phenotype conversion function and plasticity characteristics under the influence of epigenetic reprogramming or local microenvironment.This adaptive expression ability can use key mediators to promote the early conversion of anti-inflammatory phenotype to alleviate liver injury.A large number of studies have shown that liver macrophages have a certain potential in reversing the process of ACLF.Therefore,from the perspective of the plasticity characteristics of liver macrophages,this paper expounds the role of liver macrophages in ACLF and the research on the intervention of ACLF disease process,and summarizes its potential significance in the treatment of ACLF.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of amlodipine besylate and benazepril hydrochloride tablets (II) in the treatment of primary hypertension.Methods:A total of 280 patients with primary hypertension who were treated at Shougang Shuigang Hospital between June 2022 and June 2023 were selected as study subjects. A clinical case-control study was conducted, and the RAND function method was utilized to randomly allocate the subjects into four groups, each receiving a different treatment: amlodipine besylate group (Group A, n = 70), benazepril hydrochloride group (Group B, n = 70), compound formulation amlodipine besylate and benazepril hydrochloride tablets group (Group C, n = 71), and amlodipine besylate plus benazepril hydrochloride group (Group D, n = 69). Relevant therapeutic indicators (blood pressure compliance rate, changes in blood pressure values) and safety indicators (adverse reactions, medication adherence) were observed. Results:The blood pressure compliance rates of Group C and Group D were 91.5% (65/71) and 89.9% (62/69), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 1.24, P = 0.143), but both were higher than the rates of 77.1% (54/70) and 74.3% (52/70) in Group A and Group B, respectively ( χ2 = 5.68, 4.86, P = 0.004, 0.012). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the four groups of patients (all P > 0.05). After treatment, there was a statistically significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the four groups compared with their pre-treatment levels (all P < 0.05). Specifically, Group C and Group D exhibited significant reductions in blood pressure following treatment ( t = 4.35, 5.12, 7.25, 5.86, all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no statistically significant difference in systolic blood pressure between Group C and Group D after treatment ( P > 0.05), while diastolic blood pressure was lower in Group C than Group D after treatment ( t = 6.01, P < 0.05). There was a significant downward trend observed in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (all P < 0.05). Notably, Group B and Group D reported higher incidences of dry cough, with 15 and 10 cases, respectively, compared with Group A and Group C, which had 1 and 3 cases, respectively. These differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.25, 5.04, both P < 0.05). Furthermore, the treatment compliance rates for Group A, Group B, and Group C were 72.9% (51/70), 71.4% (50/70), and 74.6% (53/71), respectively, all exceeding the 46.4% (32/69) compliance rate of Group D. These differences were also statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.68, 5.24, 4.98, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The clinical efficacy and safety of the compound formulation amlodipine besylate and benazepril hydrochloride tablets (II) in the treatment of primary hypertension are superior to those of single tablets and combination therapy.

Abstract: Objectives　To sequence the whole genome of Vibrio cholerae strains isolated from Fuzhou between 2018 and 2023, predict virulence genes, antimicrobial resistance genes, and sequence loci information, analyze the genetic relationships among different strains, and provide evidence for cholera prevention and control. Methods　Whole genome sequencing was performed on 60 strains of Vibrio cholerae, and bioinformatics software was used for quality control, gene assembly, and prediction of the sequencing data. PubMLST, ResFinder, and VFDB databases were used to predict the multilocus sequence typing, antimicrobial resistance genes, and virulence genes of different strains. Combined with the NCBI database, the phylogenetic tree was constructed by the maximum likelihood method through the core cgSNP phylogenetic analysis and de-recombination analysis. Results Based on the typing of 7 housekeeping genes, 60 Vibrio cholerae strains can be categorized into 16 known STs and 38 newly assigned STs. The clinical isolate H339 of serogroup O1 was identified as ST75. Serogroup O1 food isolates H13, H363, and H381 were all ST175. H263 and H357, the NOVC isolates, were both ST1218. H293 and H306 were ST1700. H311, H314, and H316 were all ST1699, with the remaining isolates displaying diversity. A total of 29 antimicrobial resistance genes were predicted, including aminoglycosides, β-lactams, quinolones, and folate pathway antagonists, with the majority of the strains carrying quinolones antimicrobial resistance genes. According to the VFDB prediction, all isolates had the virulence factors rtx and hlyA, 96.7% (58/60) of the strains carried the tlh genes, all serogroup O1 isolates carried tcp, zot, and ace genes, and all serogroup O1 clinical isolates carried ctxA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis of the whole genome divided all strains into 20 branches, indicating high genomic divergence. Conclusions　Thirty-eight new STs were identified. Genetic correlations were found among serogroup O1 food isolates, whereas serogroup O1 clinical isolates and serogroup O1 food isolates, as well as between serogroup O1 and NOVC strains, show distant phylogenetic relationships. There was diversity among the isolates. This study provides data support for the traceability of foodborne diseases.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the etiological characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) isolated from food-borne outbreaks in Fuqing City between 2021 and 2023, and to explore its distribution characteristics and epidemic types. 　Methods The serotypes, virulence genes (tlh, tdh, trh), and drug resistance profiles of 23 VP strains isolated from 4 food-borne disease outbreaks were tested by agglutination, multiple real-time PCR, and broth microdilution methods. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used for molecular typing to analyze homology. Results　From 2021 to 2023, four food-borne disease outbreaks occurred in Fuqing City, leading to the isolation and identification of 23 VP strains. Among these, 19 clinical strains were divided into two serotypes: O10:K4 type, comprising 13 strains (68.4%), and O4:KUT type, comprising 6 strains (31.6%); the tdh gene carrying rate was 100.0%, and no trh gene was detected. The serotypes of the four food isolates were O3∶K4, O10:K24, O11∶KUT, and O3∶K37, respectively, all differing from the clinical strains, with two strains coming from the same food item without tdh and trh genes detected. The resistance rate of all isolates to cefazolin was the highest (87.0%), with two strains (8.7%) from different sources showing multidrug resistance. The PFGE genotypes of 19 case isolates were clustered and correlated with their serotypes and drug resistance profiles; strains isolated from the same outbreak event showed high similarity, whereas food strains exhibited polymorphism in PFGE genotypes. Conclusions The predominant serotype causing the four outbreaks was O10:K4, with some strains showing multidrug resistance; all clinical strains carried the tdh gene. The high correlation between strains from the same outbreak event suggests they are homologous. Special attention should be paid to the risk of outbreaks and pandemics caused by the O10:K4 type strain again. Additionally, food safety risk monitoring and assessment should be strengthened to provide an effective basis for epidemic prevention and control and early identification and warning.

Objective : To investigate the effect of high concentration of Caerulomycin A (Cae A) on HK2 in renal tubular epithelial cells and to explore the role of cytoplasmic nucleotide⁃binding oligomerization domain⁃like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in this process. Methods : The effect of different concentrations of Cae A on the viability of HK2 cells was determined by MTT; the expression of kidney injury molecule (KIM⁃1) and NLRP3 was detected by real⁃time quantitative PCR , Western blot and immunofluorescence , while the effect of Cae A on the mRNA expression of IL⁃1β , IL⁃18 , IL⁃33 , MCP⁃1 , TNF⁃α was also measured by real⁃time quantitative PCR. HK2 cells were divided into control group , high concentration of Cae A group and high concentration of Cae A plus NLRP3 inhibitor CY⁃09 group , and the expression of KIM⁃1 and NLRP3 protein was detected by Western blot. Results : The results of MTT showed that high concentration of Cae A could inhibit HK2 cell viability. Real⁃time quantitative PCR , Western blot and immunofluorescence assays showed that high concentration of Cae A upregulated the expression of KIM⁃1 and NLRP3 , as well as the mRNA levels of IL⁃1β , IL⁃18 , IL⁃33 , MCP⁃1 , TNF⁃α , while CY⁃09 could down⁃regulate the expression of NLRP3 and KIM⁃1. Conclusion High concentration of Cae A significantly inhibited the viability of HK2 cells and induced damage and inflammatory response to HK2 with some nephrotoxicity that might be achieved via NLRP3 pathway.
