Objective:
To investigate the current status of screening myopia and anxiety symptoms and associated factors among junior and senior high school students in Beijing, so as to provide evidence for myopia prevention and control and the improvement of mental health among adolescents.
Methods:
From September to November 2024, a total of 17 245 junior high schools, general senior high schools and vocational high schools from 16 districts in Beijing were enrolled by stratified cluster sampling method. Questionnaire surveys and vision screening were conducted to collect data on anxiety symptom and screening diagnosed myopia. The Chi square test was used to analyze the co-occurrence of myopia and anxiety symptoms, and binary Logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the related factors of the co-occurrence.
Results:
The overall detection rate of cooccurrence screening myopia and anxiety symptoms among Beijing junior and senior high school students was 6.00%. The detection rate was higher in females ( 7.15 %) than in males (4.90%), higher in urban areas (6.65%) than in suburban areas (5.41%), and higher in general senior high school students (7.61%) than in vocational high school students (6.46%) and junior high school students (4.65%). All differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=38.49, 11.66, 54.88, all P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female gender ( OR =1.43), general senior high school ( OR =1.60), vocational high school ( OR =1.59), daily sugar sweetened beverage intake ( OR =1.66), participation in academic extracurricular classes in preschool ( OR =1.30), electronic screen use for more than 2 hours per day ( OR =1.21), and insufficient sleep ( OR =2.41) were associated with an increased risk of co-occurring screening diagnosed myopia and anxiety symptoms (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
The co-occurrence of screening diagnosed of myopia and anxiety symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Beijing is common. Female gender, senior high school students, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are all risk factors for the co-occurrence of myopia and anxiety symptom. Comprehensive intervention measures can be adopted to simultaneously promote vision protection and mental health among junior and senior high school students.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Dingchuan Granule (定喘颗粒, DG) in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia. MethodsA total of 60 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, ribavirin group, DG low-dose group, DG middle-dose group, and DG high-dose group, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group, rats were administrated with RSV via intranasal drip. After model establishment, the DG low-, middle-, and high-dose groups were administrated via oral gavage with DG at 3.47, 6.93, and 13.86 g/(kg·d) respectively, while the ribavirin group was administrated via oral gavage with ribavirin at 15.75 mg/(kg·d). The drug was given once daily for one week. The rats in the control group and the model group were not given any drug, only subjected to the grasping action. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed and scored using HE staining. The levels of serum inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were detected by colorimetry. The protein levels of nuclear factor (erythroid derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) in lung tissues were measured by Western Blot. The RSV load as well as the gene expression levels of Nrf2, Keap1, HO-1, and NQO1 in lung tissues were determined by qRT-PCR. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rat lung tissues was detected using chemiluminescence. The levels of glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat lung tissues were measured by a microassay. ResultsCompared with the control group, other groups had significant increases in pathological score of lung tissue, RSV load, levels of ROS, MDA, serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6; decrease in GSH level, increases in expression level of Keap1 protein and its mRNA in lung tissue, and significant decrease in levels of Nrf2, HO-1, expression level of NQO1 protein and its mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, all the above-mentioned indicators in the DG low-, middle-, and high-dose groups and the ribavirin group were improved to varying degree (P<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in rats of DG dose groups showed a dose-dependent pattern, the DG high-dose group exhibiting the best effect (P<0.05). The DG high-dose group was superior to the DG low- and middle-dose groups in reducing the levels of ROS and MDA, and increasing the level of GSH in lung tissues (P<0.05). The DG high-dose group and the ribavirin group had better effect than the DG middle-dose group in reducing the RSV load (P<0.05). The DG high-dose group was superior to the ribavirin group in improving the protein levels of Nrf2, Keap1, HO-1, and NQO1 (P<0.05). ConclusionDG could inhibit oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway to improve pulmonary inflammation and treat RSV pneumonia, with the DG high-dose group showing the best effect.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the molecular mechanism by which lncRNA SNHG15 regulates proliferation, invasion and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cells.
METHODS:
The lncRNA microarray chip dataset GSE196584 and LncBase were used to predict the lncRNAs that interact with miR-30b-3p, and their association with patient prognosis were investigated using online databases, after which lncRNA nucleolar RNA host gene 15 (SNHG15) was selected for further analysis. The subcellular localization of lncRNA SNHG15 and its expression levels in normal human lung epithelial cells and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization and qRT-PCR. In cultured A549 cells, the changes in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion following transfection with a SNHG15 knockdown plasmid (sh-SNHG15), a miR-30b-3p inhibitor, or their co-transfection were assessed with EdU, wound healing, and Transwell assays. Bioinformatics analyses were used to predict the regulatory relationship between lncRNA SNHG15 and COX6B1, and the results were verified using Western blotting and rescue experiments in A549 cells transfected with sh-SNHG15, a COX6B1-overexpressing plasmid, or both.
RESULTS:
LncRNA SNHG15 was shown to target miR-30b-3p, and the former was highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, and associated with a poor patient prognosis. LncRNA SNHG15 was localized in the cytoplasm and expressed at higher levels in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells than in BEAS-2B cells. In A549 cells, lncRNA SNHG15 knockdown significantly inhibited cell migration, invasion and proliferation, and these changes were reversed by miR-30b-3p inhibitor. A regulatory relationship was found between lncRNA SNHG15 and COX6B1, and their expression levels were positively correlated (r=0.128, P=0.003). MiR-30b-3p knockdown obviously decreased COX6B1 expression in A549 cells, and COX6B1 overexpression rescued the cells from the inhibitory effects of lncRNA-SNHG15 knockdown.
CONCLUSIONS
LncRNA SNHG15 may compete with COX6B1 to bind miR-30b-3p through a ceRNA mechanism to affect proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

4.Application of medical laboratory big data: current ethical status and future exploration
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2025;48(2):179-185
Medical laboratory data interacts with clinical practice and therapeutic contexts, playing a significant role in up-to-date clinical decision-making and support systems. With the integration of information technology and modern analytical techniques such as artificial intelligence, the vast amounts of data produced by medical laboratory are sublimated into medical "big data", attracting significant attention for its direct impact and secondary application value in the process of accumulation and data streaming. However, laboratory data involves a large amount of sensitive personal information. Researchers must provide robust privacy protection methods throughout research design, data collection, analysis, processing, and application of consolidated results to prevent data leakage, misuse, and unethical applications. Ethics committees or institution review board at all levels should play a pivotal role in the compliant application of medical laboratory data, while developing ethical review protocols suitable for big data research and applications. The research and applications of big data are also related to the needs of national strategies and public health. The implementation of national legislation, expert consensus and industry standards, as well as innovative approaches to informed consent and data application strategies, would promote the protection of individual privacy and the scientific application of big data.

Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) is classified as Class I carcinogen in the World Health Organization. It was reported that approximately 90% of gastric cancer cases were associated with H. pylori infection. The eradication of H.plyori can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of peptic ulcers and the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma. With the escalating antibiotic resistance, the eradication is facing significant challenges. The Maastricht VI/Florence consensus recommends routine antibiotics susceptibility testing to improve the eradication rate of H.plyori. The traditional bacterial culture and identification method require high compliance, laboratory conditions and operative technical, which is difficult to be routinely executed in clinical practice. Molecular biological detection methods have emerged as a proficient tool to identify antibiotic resistance with high efficiency, convenience, accuracy and repeatability. This review summarizes the molecular biological detection strategies for assessing H.plyori resistance, including advantages, limitations, opportunities and challenges.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention, excessive activities incongruous with setting, and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD (sADHD) is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function, demonstrate more conduct, learning, and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children, and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently, there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China, with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing, analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population, with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023, a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District, Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version (18-item version) of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% (95% CI: 0.014–0.024). Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls (χ2=7.733, P=0.005). No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups (χ2=7.347, 12.362, P>0.05). The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% (95% CI: 0.054–0.072). Similarly, boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls (χ2=21.005, P<0.01). Significant differences emerged across different grades (χ2=20.559, P=0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups (χ2=12.070, P=0.060). ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades, while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD.

Objective To investigate the expression changes of serum long non-coding RNA rhabdomyosarcoma associated transcript-2 (LncRNA RMST) and miR-582-5p in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS),and their correlation with early neurological deterioration (END) and prognosis. Methods A total of 129 patients with ischemic stroke admitted to Chengde Central Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were gathered,according to diagnostic criteria and patients were divided into END group (n=42) and non END group (n=87) besed on whether END occurred within one week. In addition,59 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination in the hospital were regarded as the health group. The real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was applied to detect serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p levels in each group. The Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p levels in END patients. ROC curve was applied to evaluate further the levels of blood LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p,and the efficacy analysis of their combination in predicting the prognosis of AIS patients. Results Serum LncRNA RMST(1.01±0.28,2.10±0.41,3.99±0.52) levels gradually increased in the healthy,non-END and END groups,and miR-582-5p(1.02±0.23,0.86±0.16,0.73±0.15) levels gradually decreased,and the differences were statistically significant (F=672.974,31.907,all P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between serum LncRNA RMST levels were significantly negatively correlated with miR-582-5p levels (r=-0.451,P<0.001). The AUC(95%CI) of the combined diagnosis of serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p levels in AIS patients was 0.961(0.912~0.987),which was better than the independent prediction (Z=2.280,4.515,all P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of serum LncRNA RMST and miR-582-5p were closely related to END,and they are expected to become predictive factors for the prognosis of AIS patients.
