Objective:To analyze the effect of optical zone diameter in orthokeratology contact lenses on the efficacy of treatment.Methods:A total of 100 myopic patients (196 eyes) who wore Paragon CRT keratoplasty lenses with a diameter of 10.5 mm were retrospectively included in this study. These patients, consisting of 47 males and 53 females, were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University between November 2020 and November 2022. Their ages ranged from 8 to 13 years. Their refractive errors ranged from -0.75 DS to -4.00 DS for spherical errors and from -0.25 DC to -1.50 DC for cylindrical errors. The corrected visual acuity was ≥ 0.6, and the initial axes were between 23.40 mm and 25.83 mm. The patients were grouped according to the different diameters of the optical zones of their lenses. Fifty patients (98 eyes) with an optical zone of 5.0 mm were included in the 5.0 group, and another 50 patients (98 eyes) with an optical zone of 6.0 mm were included in the 6.0 group. The general sociological and disease-related characteristics of the two groups were recorded. Logistic linear regression analysis was performed on the data with differences to obtain the therapeutic effect of different optimal zone diameters in orthokeratology contact lenses.Results:After 1 year of wearing, there was no statistically significant difference in the average non-invasive tear film break-up time between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The 5.0 group exhibited significantly lower values for the surface regularity index (0.35 ± 0.09), surface asymmetry index (0.69 ± 0.21), axial length [(0.19 ± 0.04) mm], and relative peripheral refraction [(-0.65 ± 0.20) D, (-0.84 ± 0.26) D, (-0.48 ± 0.13) D, (-0.76 ± 0.23) D, (-0.77 ± 0.21) D, (-0.56 ± 0.17) D] compared with the 6.0 group ( t = 5.94, 3.34, 4.64, 2.03, 2.07, 4.23, 2.27, 2.25, 5.55, all P < 0.05). Conversely, the uncorrected visual acuity [(0.71 ± 0.20) LogMAR] and spherical equivalent [(-0.25 ± 0.05) D] were significantly higher in the 5.0 group compared with the 6.0 group ( t = 3.31, 13.64, both P < 0.05). After 1 year of wearing, the diameter and area of the optical zone in the 5.0 group [(3.35 ± 0.28) mm and (7.50 ± 1.10) mm2] were significantly lower than those in the 6.0 group [(3.68 ± 0.38) mm and (8.50 ± 1.50) mm2, t = 6.92, 5.32, 11.16, all P < 0.05]. Furthermore, the overlapping treatment zone area to pupil area ratio (TZR) in the 5.0 group (0.53 ± 0.16) was significantly lower than that in the 6.0 group [(0.81 ± 0.19), t = 11.16, P < 0.05]. The results of logistic linear regression analysis and Pearson calculation showed that the TZR was positively correlated with the optical zone diameters of orthokeratology contact lenses ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the 5.0 group [8.16% (8/98)] and the 6.0 group [12.24% (12/98), χ2 = 0.89, P > 0.05). Conclusion:The 1-year dynamic change in eye axis indicates that myopia correction is more effective and safe when the diameter of the optical zone in keratoplasty is 5.0 mm compared with when the diameter of the optical zone is 6.0 mm. Evaluating the efficacy of corneal reshaping lenses in different optical zones using statistical TZR can guarantee myopia control results. At the same time, this study demonstrates significant innovation and scientific validity, which can offer new ideas and methods for the research and application of orthokeratology contact lenses.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between processed food consumption and blood pressure level of students in a university in Yunnan Province, so as to provide the reference for preventing hypertension in university students.
Methods:
In October 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select 4 781 freshmen from a university in Kunming, Yunnan Province. The frequency of processed food consumption of university students was assessed by using the dietary frequency questionnaire, and height, weight and blood pressure were measured. Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the differences in blood pressure level of university students with different demographic variables, and the association between processed food consumption and blood pressure level was analyzed with a generalized linear model.
Results:
Among the students of a university in Yunnan Province, the detection rates of systolic prehypertension and hypertension were 33.86% and 1.23%, and the detection rates of diastolic prehypertension were 32.13% and hypertension 7.22%. The results of generalized linear model analysis showed that after controlling for demographic variables and other variables that might affect the blood pressure level of university students, the consumption of processed food (bread and cake: β =0.15, 95% CI =0.01-0.29) and ultra processed food (coffee beverage: β =-0.29, 95% CI =-0.54--0.03) were associated with systolic blood pressure level( P <0.05). The consumption of processed food (salted duck egg: β =0.21, 95% CI =0.01-0.41) was correlated with the diastolic blood pressure of college students ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Processed food consumption in university students may increase the risk of high blood pressure.The education of healthy eating among college students should be strengthened to reduce the consumption of processed foods.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the protective effect of Tibetan medicine Sanguo decoction on hyperlipidemic rats based on the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and its related mechanisms.
METHODS
Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: the normal control group, the model control group, the simvastatin group(3.5 mg·kg−1), and the Tibetan medicine Sanguo decoction low, medium, and high dose groups(0.43 , 0.86 , 1.72 g·kg−1), with eight rats in each group. The normal control group was fed a basal diet, and the remaining groups were fed the H10060 high-fat diet to prepare a hyperlipidemic rat model. At the same time, each treatment group was given corresponding drugs by gavage once a day. The normal control group and model control group were given an equal volume of physiological saline(once a day) by gavage for 6 consecutive weeks. After 6 weeks, serum levels of lipids[totalcholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein(LDL) and high density lipoprotein(HDL)] and oxidative parameters[malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione(GSH)] were measured by reagent kit. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), Keap1, and quinone oxidoreductase(NQO1) protein expression in liver tissues were analyzed by Western blotting. The correlation of lipid and oxidative indices was investigated by person correlation.
RESULTS
Compared with the normal control group, the model control group showed a significant increase in body weight, significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL, and MDA, significantly lower serum levels of HDL, and significantly lower SOD and GSH activity. Compared with the model control group, each administration group showed a decrease in body weight and serum TC, TG, LDL, and MDA levels. In comparison with the model control group, the body weight was reduced, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL, and MDA were significantly lower, the serum levels of HDL were significantly higher, and the SOD and GSH activities were significantly higher. Keap1 protein level expression was significantly up-regulated compared with the normal control group, and Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein level expression were significantly down-regulated in the model control group. Keap1 protein level expression was significantly down-regulated compared to the model control group, and Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein level expression were significantly up-regulated in the liver tissues of low and high doses of Sanguo decoction. The expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 were significantly up-regulated. Correlation analysis showed that TG was negatively correlated with SOD, HO-1, and NQO1, and positively correlated with Keap1, while TC was negatively correlated with SOD, HO-1, GSH, and Nrf2, and positively correlated with Keap1 and MDA.
CONCLUSION
The Tibetan medicine Sanguo decoction can improve body weight and blood lipid levels in hyperlipidemic rats, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and the improvement of oxidative stress.

Objective:To investigate the biological characteristics of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) with low expression of HER2 (HER2-low).Methods:A total of 93 TNBC cases in Shanxi Cancer Hospital from 2017 to 2019 were collected and divided into HER2-negative and HER2-low groups according to HER2 expression status. The clinicopathological features and prognostic differences between the two groups were retrospectively analyzed and compared, and genetic detection of tumor tissues was performed to clarify somatic mutation status and differences between the two groups.Results:Ninety-three patients aged 26 to 86 years were enrolled, including 60 patients in the HER2-negative group and 33 patients in the HER2-low group. The distribution of HER2-low in luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype (14/23, 60.87%) and non-LAR subtype (19/70, 27.14%) was significantly different ( P=0.005). There were no significant differences in age, pT stage, histological grade, infiltration mode, lymph node metastasis and survival analysis. The expression of HER2-low in the tumor was heterogeneous, including different proportions of weak, weak to moderate intensity, and incomplete to intact membrane staining. With the change of the proportion of HER2-positive cells, the different distribution of those cells in the total tumor cells was noted, including cluster, mosaic and scattered patterns. The concentration and quality of DNA extracted from 71 of the 93 samples met the requirements for making libraries, including 43 in the HER2-negative group and 28 in the HER2-low group. Genetic mutations were mainly missense mutations, single nucleotide mutations, and point mutations in which base C was replaced by base T. There was no significant difference in genes with mutation frequency>3 times between the two groups. CTNNB1 and FGFR3 genes were only mutated in HER2-low group; while ALK, CYP2D6 and FAT1 genes were only mutated in HER2-negative group. HER2-low group included 18 HER2 1+ cases and 10 HER2 2+ cases. Genes with mutation frequency>3 times between the two groups included PIK3CA, TP53, SLX4, ATM and BRCA1. The mutation frequency of PIK3CA in HER2 2+ was significantly higher than that in HER2 1+ group ( P<0.05), and SLX4 gene was only mutated in HER2 1+ group. Conclusions:There are some differences of histological morphology and genetic variation between HER2-negative group and HER2-low group, and also differences in genetic variation between HER2 1+ and HER2 2+ in HER2-low group, which are helpful for more accurate stratification of TNBC and useful for finding the therapeutic target and precise treatment of HER2-low TNBC.

Objective:
To investigate the expression of mannose binding lectin 2 (MBL2) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cell lines and its effects on the proliferation and prognosis.
Methods:
MBL2 expression levels in patients of different sexes and survival analysis of patients were subsequently performed using bioinformatics method. The mRNA and protein expression levels were detected with the qRT⁃PCR and Western blot. Cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay and cell clone formation assay;Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA) was used to analyze the signal pathways of MBL2 enrichment.
Results:
Bioinformatics analysis and qRT⁃PCR results showed that MBL2 was highly expressed in male HCC patients compared with female HCC patients , and was related to the prognosis of HCC patients. Compared with the control group ,over⁃expression of MBL2 inhibited the viability and clone formation rate of Huh7 cells and MHCC⁃97H cells;In addition , cell cycles were arrested and cell apoptosis increased. GSEA and Western blot results showed that MBL2 was enriched in the cell cycle signal pathway. Overexpression of MBL2 inhibited the expression of CDK4 protein and promoted the expression of P16 and BAX protein.
Conclusion
The expression of MBL2 is down regulated in HCC , which is related to the prognosis of male patients with HCC and participates in the process of cell proliferation. MBL2 may be a potential therapeutic target for male patients with HCC.
