AIM:To investigate the effect of peripheral defocus design rigid gas permeable contact lenses(defocus RGPCL)in controlling myopia progression in children aged 6-12 y with high myopia, and to compare the outcomes with traditional single-vision RGPCL and single-vision spectacles.METHODS:This prospective cohort study enrolled children aged 6-12 y with high myopia who visited the Ophthalmology and Optometry Center of Xi'an No.1 Hospital between January 2022 and January 2023. Based on parental preference, participants were divided into three groups: defocused RGPCL group, single-vision RGPCL group, and single-vision spectacles group. The axial length(AL)and cycloplegic spherical equivalent(SE)refraction were compared at baseline, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 y after lens wear. Additionally, AL and SE delay rates were calculated for each group.RESULTS: This study enrolled a total of 90 children with high myopia(180 eyes), with no participants lost to follow-up. Participants were allocated into three groups based on parental preference. Thirty children(60 eyes)were assigned to the peripheral defocus RGPCL group, consisting of 12 boys and 18 girls with a mean age of 9.96±1.56 y; 30 children(60 eyes)to the single-vision RGPCL group, including 15 boys and 15 girls with a mean age of 9.40±1.52 y; and 30 children(60 eyes)to the single-vision spectacles group, with 14 boys and 16 girls and a mean age of 9.80±1.37 y. At 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 y lens fitting, AL and SE increased significantly in all three groups(all P<0.05), with the growth rates in the defocused RGPCL group being significantly lower than those in the single-vision RGPCL and single-vision spectacles groups(all P<0.05). At 2 y lens fitting, the AL elongation was 0.22±0.24 mm and the mean SE progression was 0.70±0.70 D in the peripheral defocus RGPCL group; 0.49±0.38 mm and 1.34±0.60 D in the single-vision RGPCL group; and 0.50±0.21 mm and 1.72±0.47 D in the single-vision spectacles group. Using the single-vision spectacles group as the control, the AL delay rate and SE delay rate at 2 y lens fitting were 56.0% and 59.3%, respectively, in the defocused RGPCL group.CONCLUSION:For children with high myopia aged 6-12 y, defocus RGPCLs can effectively and significantly delay AL elongation and SE progression, demonstrating markedly superior control efficacy compared to single-vision RGPCL or single-vision spectacles. Defocused RGPCL can serve as an effective optical intervention for high myopia children.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the risk factors of overall postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries. METHODS: This study was conducted among a total of 1388 elderly patients, who underwent elective gastrointestinal surgeries at 17 centers across China between April, 2020 and April, 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative complications within 30 days, including procedure-related, neuropsychiatric, respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal complications as well as acute kidney injury. Baseline characteristics, preoperative psychological and functional status, intraoperative anesthesia and surgical factors, intraoperative medication, use of nerve block, and postoperative analgesia methods were compared between the patients experiencing one or more postoperative complications and those without complications. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative complications. The relationship between postoperative acute pain and each type of complication were explored. RESULTS: The incidence of overall postoperative complications was 50.8% (705/1388) in these patients. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR: 1.026; 95% CI: 1.006-1.046), prognostic nutritional index (OR: 0.998; 95% CI: 0.997-1.000), preoperative EuroQol-5 dimensions score (OR: 0.094; 95% CI: 0.018-0.500), blood loss (OR: 1.002; 95% CI: 1.001-1.003), and acute postoperative pain (OR: 1.308; 95% CI: 1.033-1.657) were significantly associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications. Specifically, patients experiencing severe postoperative pain had a significantly higher incidence of neuropsychiatric (27.2% vs 19.8%), procedure-related (17.3% vs 10.2%), and cardiovascular complications (3.6% vs 1.7%). CONCLUSIONS An advanced age, a low preoperative nutritional index, a poor quality of life score, a greater volume of intraoperative blood loss, and acute postoperative pain are independent risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries. There is a significant association between acute postoperative pain and multi-system complications.

Objective: To explore the association of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption with psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen, so as to provide a reference for adolescent mental health promotion. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2024 by a stratified cluster random sampling method to select 6 926 junior and senior middle school students from 5 middle schools in Shenzhen. The questionnaire from Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System was used to assess the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, and physical activity Rating Scale was used to assess the level of physical activity, and Brief Instrument on Psychological Health of Youths was used to evaluate the psychological sub health status. The Chi -square test was used to analyze the differences in the detection rates of psychological sub health among different groups of middle school students, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of physical activity and sugar sweetened beverage consumption and their combined effects on the psychological sub health of middle school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among middle school students in Bao an District, Shenzhen was 18.93%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as gender, school stage, family residence, family economic status, parental literacy, academic stress and number of friends, lack of physical activity or excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among middle school students ( OR =1.36, 1.45); and the highest risk of psychological sub health was found in middle school students who were lack of physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption ( OR =2.59) ( P <0.01). Further analysis by school stages showed that junior high school students with sufficient physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.10), lack of physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks ( ROR =2.31) were at higher risks of psychological sub health than senior high school students( P <0.05). Conclusions Insufficient physical activity and excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption are closely associated with an increased risk of psychological sub health among middle school students. Effective interventions should be targeted to reduce the risk of psychological sub health problems among middle school students.

With the continuous deepening of medical insurance payment reform, the implementation of the ambulatory patient groups(APG) based point system for payment has posed new challenges to the quality management of outpatient electronic medical record writing, as well as the supervision and operation management of outpatient costs in hospitals. A certain hospital began information technology construction in July 2021. By introducing diagnostic grouping functions into the outpatient electronic medical record system, the hospital strengthened the standardization of medical record writing. It also established an intelligent audit system for medical insurance costs to conduct full-process supervision of outpatient medical expenses and developed an intelligent operation analysis system for outpatient APG to provide a basis for hospital operation management decisions and performance distribution. These measures effectively improved the quality of outpatient medical record, reduced outpatient medical costs, and optimized their structure. The application of the intelligent medical insurance audit system also effectively prevented certain non-compliant issues in medical insurance payments, which can provide a reference for other medical institutions.

Objective To explore the targets and mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Decoction in preventing and treating atherosclerosis through network pharmacology,molecular docking and animal experiment.Methods The main active components and related targets of Buyang Huanwu Decoction were obtained and screened through databases such as TCMSP,HERB,UniProt,PubChem,SwissADME and SwissTargetPrediction.Six disease databases such as DrugBank,GeneCards,DisGeNET,OMIM,PharmGKB and TTD were used to obtain AS related targets.R language was used to obtain common targets for the drug and disease.STRING 11.5 database was used for protein interaction network analysis,and Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used to conduct network topology parameters and obtain core targets.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed on the common targets using DAVID platform.Molecular docking of core genes with the main active components of Buyang Huanwu Decoction was conducted using AutoDock Vina 1.5.6 software.An AS mouse model was established and intervened with Buyang Huanwu Decoction.The lipid content of the mouse aortic sinus was observed using Oil Red O staining.Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K/AKT/p38 signaling pathway,and ELISA was used to detect the contents of TNF-α and IL-17 in mouse serum.Results A total of 104 main active components and 283 action targets of Buyang Huanwu Decoction were obtained,as well as 5 347 AS related targets and 218 common targets for drugs and disease.Buyang Huanwu Decoction may use key active components such as quercetin,kaempferol and baicalin as core targets for TP53,MAPK1,AKT1,and exert its therapeutic effect on AS through PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,TNF signaling pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway,etc.Molecular docking indicated that quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol and baicalin had good affinity with TP53,HSP90AA1,MAPK1,AKT1 and RELA targets.MAPK1 had strong binding activity with baicalin and luteolin.The experimental results showed that Buyang Huanwu Decoction could reduce the lipid content in aortic sinus of AS mice,reduce the contents of TNF-α and IL-17 in serum(P<0.01)and significantly down-regulate the expression levels of PI3K,p-AKT and p-p38 proteins(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion The mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Decoction for preventing and treating AS may be related to regulating the expression of the PI3K/AKT/p38 signaling pathway,thereby reducing inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the changes in eosinophil counts and the activation of microglial cells in the brain tissues of mice at different stages of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection, and to examine the role of microglia in regulating the progression of angiostrongyliasis and unravel the possible molecular mechanisms. Methods Fifty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the control group and the 7-d, 14-d, 21-day and 25-d infection groups, of 10 mice in each group. All mice in infection groups were infected with 30 stage III A. cantonensis larvae by gavage, and animals in the control group was given an equal amount of physiological saline. Five mice were collected from each of infection groups on days 7, 14, 21 d and 25 d post-infection, and 5 mice were collected from the control group on the day of oral gavage. The general and focal functional impairment was scored using the Clark scoring method to assess the degree of mouse neurological impairment. Five mice from each of infection groups were sacrificed on days 7, 14, 21 d and 25 d post-infection, and 5 mice from the control group were sacrificed on the day of oral gavage. Mouse brain tissues were sampled, and the pathological changes of brain tissues were dynamically observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Immunofluorescence staining with eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) was used to assess the degree of eosinophil infiltration and the counts of microglial cells in mouse brain tissues in each group, and the morphological parameters of microglial cells (skeleton analysis and fractal analysis) were quantified by using Image J software to determine the morphological changes of microglial cells. In addition, the expression of M1 microglia markers Fcγ receptor III (Fcgr3), Fcγ receptor IIb (Fcgr2b) and CD86 antigen (Cd86), M2 microglia markers Arginase 1 (Arg1), macrophage mannose receptor C-type 1 (Mrc1), chitinase-like 3 (Chil3), and phagocytosis genes myeloid cell triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2), CD68 antigen (Cd68), and apolipoprotein E (Apoe) was quantified using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay in the mouse cerebral cortex of mice post-infection. Results A large number of A. cantonensis larvae were seen on the mouse meninges surface post-infection, and many neuronal nuclei were crumpled and deeply stained, with a large number of bleeding points in the meninges. The median Clark scores of mouse general functional impairment were 0 (interquartile range, 0), 0 (interquartile range, 0.5), 6 (interquartile range, 1.0), 14 (interquartile range, 8.5) points and 20 (interquartile range, 9.0) points in the control group and the 7-d, 14-d, 21-d and 25-d groups, respectively (H = 22.45, P < 0.01), and the median Clark scores of mouse focal functional impairment were 0 (interquartile range, 0), 2 (interquartile range, 2.5), 7 (interquartile range, 3.0), 18 (interquartile range, 5.0) points and 25 (interquartile range, 6.5) points in the control group and the 7-d, 14-d, 21-d and 25-d groups, respectively (H = 22.72, P < 0.01). The mean scores of mice general and focal functional impairment were all higher in the infection groups than in the control group (all P values < 0.05). Immunofluorescence staining showed a significant difference in the eosinophil counts in mouse brain tissues among the five groups (F = 40.05, P < 0.000 1), and the eosinophil counts were significantly higher in mouse brain tissues in the 14-d (3.08 ± 0.78) and 21-d infection groups (5.97 ± 1.37) than in the control group (1.00 ± 0.28) (both P values < 0.05). Semi-quantitative analysis of microglia immunofluorescence showed a significant difference in the counts of microglial cells among the five groups (F = 17.66, P < 0.000 1), and higher Iba1 levels were detected in mouse brain tissues in 14-d (5.75 ± 1.28), 21-d (6.23 ± 1.89) and 25-d infection groups (3.70 ± 1.30) than in the control group (1.00 ± 0.30) (all P values < 0.05). Skeleton and fractal analyses showed that the branch length [(162.04 ± 34.10) μm vs. (395.37 ± 64.11) μm; t = 5.566, P < 0.05] and fractal dimension of microglial cells (1.30 ± 0.01 vs. 1.41 ± 0.03; t = 5.266, P < 0.05) were reduced in mouse brain tissues in the 21-d infection group relative to the control group. In addition, there were significant differences among the 5 groups in terms of M1 and M2 microglia markers Fcgr3 (F = 48.34, P < 0.05), Fcgr2b (F = 55.46, P < 0.05), Cd86 (F = 24.44, P < 0.05), Arg1 (F = 31.18, P < 0.05), Mrc1 (F = 15.42, P < 0.05) and Chil3 (F = 24.41, P < 0.05), as well as phagocytosis markers Trem2 (F = 21.19, P < 0.05), Cd68 (F = 43.95, P < 0.05) and Apoe (F = 7.12, P < 0.05) in mice brain tissues. Conclusions A. cantonensis infections may induce severe pathological injuries in mouse brain tissues that are characterized by massive eosinophil infiltration and persistent activation of microglia cells, thereby resulting in progressive deterioration of neurological functions.

BACKGROUND:The imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes plays an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis. Previous studies have found that hsa-miR-3202 is involved in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of various cells. However,no studies have explored the correlation between hsa-miR-3202 and osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of hsa-miR-3202 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes. METHODS:(1) MicroRNAs differentially expressed in osteoarthritic chondrocytes were screened by biogenic analysis. Based on the current research situation at home and abroad,hsa-miR-3202 was selected for follow-up studies,and its target genes were predicted by gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. (2) Human normal chondrocyte cell lines C28/I2 in logarithmic growth phase were selected and randomly divided into four groups for culture:in normal group,cells were cultured in normal medium for 24 hours,the medium was then changed to normal medium for another 6 hours of culture,and changed to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours,the medium was then changed to normal medium for another 6 hours,and changed to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide+NC group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours,and then transfected with has-miR-3202 mimics control for 6 hours,and the medium was change to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide+hsa-miR-3202 mimics group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours and then transfected with has-miR-3202 mimics for 6 hours,and the medium was changed to normal medium for subsequent culture. After further 48 hours of culture,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. After further culture of 0-72 hours,cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit-8. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bioinformatics analysis results indicated that hsa-miR-3202 was significantly down-regulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment showed that the function of hsa-miR-3202 target gene was closely related to cell growth and apoptosis. The results of in vitro cell experiments showed that compared with the normal group,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 and proliferation ability of chondrocytes were significantly decreased in the lipopolysaccharide group (P<0.05),while the apoptotic rate was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 and proliferation ability of chondrocytes were significantly increased in the lipopolysaccharide+hsa-miR-3202 mimics group (P<0.05),while the apoptotic rate was significantly decreased (P<0.05). To conclude,the expression of hsa-miR-3202 is down-regulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes to inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis,thus affecting the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.

Objective To observe the characteristics of affected shoulder joint range of motion in patients with breast cancer after ax-illary lymph node dissection before radiotherapy.Methods From January,2022 to December,2023,185 female patients from the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical Uni-versity after unilateral breast cancer who underwent axillary lymph node dissection were reviewed.Their general data were collected;affected shoulder joint range of motion was evaluated by progoniometer;lymphedema of af-fected upper extremities was evaluated by water volume replacement;Verbal Rating Scale(VRS)was used to evaluate the pain in the upper extremity of the operative side.Results The angles of anterior flexion and abduction of the affected shoulder joint were(158.90±17.17)° and(147.70±24.59)°.There were significant differences in the angles of affected shoulder anterior flexion and abduction among patients at different ages(more than 55 years and less than 55 years)and those with or without lymphede-ma.Multiple linear regression showed that the angle of affected shoulder flexion was smaller in patients aged more than 55 years(β=-7.766,95%CI-13.161 to-2.360,P=0.005),and with lymphedema(β=-10.991,95%CI-19.063 to-2.925,P=0.008);was larger in patients with longer duration after operation(β=0.463,95%CI 0.012 to 0.924,P=0.049),and BMI 24 to 27.9 kg/m2(β=6.211,95%CI 0.660 to 11.761,P=0.030)(compared with BMI<24 kg/m2).The angle of affected shoulder abduction was smaller in patients aged more than 55 years(β=-10.047,95%CI-17.358 to-2.747,P=0.008),and with lymphedema(β=-14.171,95%CI-25.191 to-3.150,P=0.013).Conclusion Shoulder joint range of motion has reduced in flexion and abduction in patients at early stage after axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer,which is related to age and lymphedema.
