AIM:To observe the therapeutic efficacy of 25G+minimally invasive vitrectomy for retinal arterial macroaneurysm.METHODS:Totally 40 patients(40 eyes)who admitted to Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital from January 2021 to May 2024 and with vitreous hemorrhage or dense premacular hemorrhage in the macular area caused by retinal arterial macroaneurysm, underwent 25G+minimally invasive vitrectomy. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), complications, and special cases were analyzed.RESULTS: The general patient data aligned with previous literature reports. The postoperative BCVA was significantly improved(t=9.72, P<0.01), and no significant serious surgical complications were observed. Notably, intraoperative findings revealed secondary macular holes in 3 eyes, resulting in poor visual prognosis.CONCLUSION: For vitreous hemorrhage or dense premacular hemorrhage caused by retinal arterial macroaneurysm, 25G+ minimally invasive vitrectomy is a safe and effective treatment. Visual prognosis was excluded for secondary macular holes.

Objective: To investigate the association between medium to long term PM 2.5 exposure around school areas and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi, providing data support and theoretical foundations for scientifically addressing overweight and obesity in primary and secondary school students. Methods: From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 251 183 students aged 7-18 years (grade 1 to grade 12) from 14 prefecture level cities (111 districts and counties) in Guangxi. PM 2.5 mass concentration data were obtained from the Tracking Air Pollution in China (TAP) dataset. Preliminary comparative analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test, while binary Logistic regression models were applied to quantify the relationship between PM 2.5 exposure and overweight/obesity. Restricted cubic spline analysis was further utilized to examine the nonlinear association between PM 2.5 concentration and overweight/obesity risk. Results: The detection rate of overweight/obesity among Guangxi students in 2023 was 19.5%. The median PM 2.5 concentration in the year prior to the study was higher in the overweight/obesity group (23.22 μg/m 3) compared to the non overweight/obesity group (22.63 μg/m 3) ( Z=-15.66, P <0.01), and consistent trends were observed across gender (male/female) and educational stage (primary/junior/senior high school) subgroups (all P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression revealed that for every 10 μg/m 3 increase in the annual average PM 2.5 concentration, the risk of overweight/obesity increased by 12% ( OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.09- 1.15 , P <0.01). Restricted cubic spline analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship between monthly PM 2.5 levels and overweight/obesity risk ( P trend <0.01). Below 22.68 μg/m 3, PM 2.5 exposure showed no significant association with obesity risk; above the threshold, the risk increased with rising PM 2.5 levels. Conclusion Medium to long term PM 2.5 exposure around school environments is significantly associated with overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students.

Objective: To analyze the association between altitudes and nutritional status of children and adolescents, and to explore the moderating effects of dietary behaviors and physical activity, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing lifestyle interventions tailored to local conditions. Methods: From September to November 2023, physical examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted among children and adolescents aged 7-17 in two autonomous regions, Inner Mongolia and Xizang, with a final sample of 156 511 participants by the stratified cluster random sampling method. Height and weight were measured to calculate body mass index (BMI). Sociodemographic characteristics, dietary behaviors, and physical activity were collected via questionnaires, while the altitude of each participant s school was obtained using Amap. Logistic regression was performed to examine the relationship between altitudes and nutritional status. Interaction terms and stratified analyses were applied to assess the moderating effects of dietary behaviors and physical activity. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used for visualization. Results: In 2023, the prevalence of wasting and overweight/obesity among children and adolescents in Xizang were 9.7% and 9.0%, respectively, compared to 2.9% and 22.0% in Inner Mongolia. Logistic regression analysis results showed that for every 1 km increase in altitude, the risk of wasting increased, while the risk of overweight/obesity decreased ( OR =1.43, 0.19, both P <0.05). The results of the stratified analysis showed that compared to those living at altitudes <1 km, children and adolescents with healthy diets showed no significant association between altitudes (1-<2 and 2-<3 km) and wasting ( OR =1.22, 0.75, both P >0.05), whereas significant associations were observed at 3-<4 and ≥4 km altitudes ( OR =2.25, 2.89, both P <0.05). In contrast, unhealthy dietary groups showed statistically significant associations across altitudes ( OR =1.18-4.04, all P <0.05), consistent with RCS results. No moderating effects were observed for physical activity on the altitude wasting association or for dietary behaviors and physical activity combined on the altitude overweight/obesity association ( P interaction =0.63, 0.10, 0.53). Conclusion Healthy dietary behaviors play a critical role in improving the nutritional status of children and adolescents and reducing regional disparities, providing a scientific foundation for public health policy formulation and implementation.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and effectiveness of emergency responses to epidemic foci in Guangzhou City in 2024, so as to optimization of the dengue fever control strategy in Guangzhou City. Methods All data pertaining to dengue fever cases in Guangzhou City in 2024 were collected from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Reporting System. The temporal, spatial and population distributions of dengue fever cases and sources of infections were descriptively analyzed, and the effectiveness of emergency responses to epidemic foci of dengue fever was evaluated through standard space index (SSI), the interval from disease onset to case reporting and the percentage of isolation in hospital. Results A total of 3 656 dengue fever cases were reported in Guangzhou City in 2024, including 3 102 local cases and 554 imported cases. Of all cases, 67.86% (2 481 cases) occurred at ages of 20 to 59 years, and the three most common occupations included housework/unemployment (793 cases, 21.69%), business servants (744 cases, 20.35%) and retirees (669 cases, 18.30%). The peak of dengue fever epidemics was concentrated during the period from the 39th to the 45th weeks in 2024, when a total of 2 317 local cases were reported, accounting for 74.69% of all local cases in 2024. Dengue fever cases were reported across all 11 districts in Guangzhou City in 2024, with local cases concentrated in Baiyun District (754 cases, 24.31%), Liwan District (398 cases, 12.83%), Panyu District (365 cases, 11.77%), Haizhu District (332 cases, 10.70%) and Tianhe District (328 cases, 10.57%). Imported dengue fever cases were predominantly domestically imported (492 cases, 88.81%), with the majority imported from Foshan City (377 cases), and overseas imported cases were predominantly imported from southeastern Asian countries. The mean proportion of case isolation in hospital was 9.16% (284/3 102), and the mean interval from disease onset to case reporting was (3.99 ± 2.70) days, while the percentages of mosquito density meeting the required standard were 61.68% (462/ 749) and 66.32% (126/190) on the 4th and 7th day of emergency responses to epidemic foci, respectively. Conclusions The prevention and control cycle of dengue fever in Guangzhou in 2024 took longer than in previous years, with a larger scale of the epidemic. Although some progress has been made in epidemic management, there are still problems such as unsustainable mosquito vector control and low hospitalization isolation rates for cases. Further optimization of control measures in mosquito vector control, case monitoring and management is required to improve the effectiveness of dengue fever control measures.

This study identified six novel azaphilones, isochromophilones G-L (1-6), and three novel biosynthetically related congeners (7-9) from Diaporthe sp. SCSIO 41011. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses combined with experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Significantly, three highly oxygenated azaphilones contain an acetyl group at the terminal chain (4) or linear conjugated polyenoid moieties (5 and 6), which occur infrequently in the azaphilone family. Additionally, several compounds demonstrated inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation in RAW 264.7 macrophages at 20 μmol·L^-1. The novel compound (1) effectively inhibited receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation without exhibiting cytotoxicity in bone marrow and RAW 264.7 macrophages, indicating its potential as a promising lead compound for osteolytic disease treatment. This research presents the first documented evidence of azaphilone derivatives as inhibitors of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of dengue fever outbreaks in schools from Guangzhou in 2024, so as to provide a reference for formulating targeted prevention and control policies and measures. Methods: By using the National Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Reporting Management System to obtain information on dengue fever cases in Guangzhou from January 1st to December 31st, 2024. Descriptive data analysis was conducted on the temporal distribution, regional distribution, and school distribution of dengue fever outbreaks in schools. A mediation effect model was used to analyze the mediating effect of the time between onset and reporting between the type of school and the occurrence of recurrent cases. Results: In 2024,12.41% (385 cases) of dengue fever cases in Guangzhou involved schools, with 300 schools affected. Among these, 16 schools (5.33%) reported cluster outbreaks, and 24 schools (8.00%) reported secondary cases. The first dengue case at the school was reported at 26 July and the last case was reported at 4 December, the peak reporting period for cases was October 7 to November 3. The incidence of secondary cases in schools in central urban areas (5.19%) was lower than that in suburban schools ( 17.39 %), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=9.15, P <0.01). The time from onset to reporting partially mediated the relationship between school type and the occurrence of recurrent cases ( β=0.23, P <0.05), accounting for 21.50% of the total effect. Conclusions Dengue fever is a key infectious disease facing schools in Guangzhou during summer and autumn. Surveillance of dengue fever outbreaks in schools should be strengthened during the peak season to reduce the risk of cluster outbreaks and the occurrence of secondary cases.

Objective To investigate the value of combined detection of serum interleukin-25(IL-25),interleukin-33(IL-33),C-C motif chemokine ligand 2(CCL-2)and C-C motif chemokine ligand 17(CCL-17)in children with bronchial asthma.Methods A total of 91 children diagnosed with bronchial asthma were enrolled into asthma group,and 46 healthy children undergoing routine physical examinations during the same period were included in control group.General clinical data,airway inflammatory markers[fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)and immunoglobulin E(IgE)]and pulmonary function parameters[forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),peak expiratory flow(PEF),minute resting ventilation(VE)and specific airway resistance(Raw)]were comparedbetween the two groups.The levels of serum IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 and CCL-17 were compared between the two groups.According to the severity of asthma,the patients were further divided into severe asthma subgroup(n=31)and non-severe asthma subgroup(n=60).Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the association between serum levels of IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 as well as CCL-17 and the severity of asthma.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for severe exacerbation in children with bronchial asthma.The predictive value of serum IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 and CCL-17 for severe at-tacks of bronchial asthma was analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The levels of FeNO,IgE,IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 CCL-17 and VE in the asthma group were significantly higher than those in the healthy group,while the levels of FVC,FEV1,PEF and Raw were significantly lower than those in the healthy group(P＜0.05).The levels of FeNO,IgE,IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2,CCL-17 and VE in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the non-severe group,while the levels of FVC,FEV1,PEF and Raw were significantly lower than those in the non-severe group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 and CCL-17 in children of the asthma group were positively correlated with the severity of asthma(r=0.382,0.416,0.475,0.501,P＜0.05).The levels of serum IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 and CCL-17 were in-dependent influencing factors for severe asthma.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the combined detection of IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 and CCL-17 was greater than that obtained from each individual biomarker.Conclusion The combined prediction of serum IL-25,IL-33,CCL-2 and CCL-17 has relatively high value in predicting the development of severe asthma in chil-dren with bronchial asthma.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum microRNA-29b(miR-29b),microRNA-199a(miR-199a),and microRNA-19a-3p(miR-19a-3p)in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)and their relationship with disease severity and prognosis.Methods(1)Rats were randomly divided into a control group(Control group)and a model group(Model group),with 6 rats in each group.ACI was induced in the model group using the modified Longa suture method;the expression levels of miR-29b,miR-199a,miR-19a-3p in rat serum and brain tissue were detected and analyzed.(2)A total of 106 ACI patients diagnosed at Tangshan People's Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were enrolled as the study group,and 108 healthy individuals who underwent physical check-ups at the same hospital during the same period were chosen as the control group.According to the NIHSS evaluation results,the study group patients were assigned into mild(42 cases),moderate(34 cases),and severe(30 cases)groups.Based on the mRS evaluation results,the patients were assigned into good prognosis(68 cases)and poor prognosis(38 cases)groups.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was applied to measure the expression levels of serum miR-29b,miR-199a,and miR-19a-3p.Pearson correlation analyzed the correlation between serum miR-29b,miR-199a,miR-19a-3p levels and NIHSS score and mRS score in ACI patients.The risk factors for poor prognosis in ACI patients were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression.ROC curves were used to analyze the predictive value of serum miR-29b,miR-199a,miR-19a-3p levels and NHISS scores in poor prognosis of ACI patients.Results(1)Compared with the Control group,the levels of miR-199a and miR-19a-3p in the serum and brain tissue of the Model group rats were significantly increased,while the level of miR-29b was significantly decreased(P<0.05);(2)Compared with the control group,as the severity of ACI patients gradually increased,the levels of serum miR-199a and miR-19a-3p unusually increased in the mild,moderate,and severe groups,while the level of miR-29b was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The NHISS score,miR-199a and miR-19a-3p levels in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group,while miR-29b was significantly lower than that in the good prognosis group(P<0.05).The levels of serum miR-199a and miR-19a-3p were positively correlated with NIHSS score;the level of miR-29b was negatively correlated with NIHSS score(P<0.05).Elevated serum miR-199a and miR-19a-3p levels and increased NHISS score were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ACI patients,and elevated serum miR-29b levels were protective factors for poor prognosis in ACI patients(P<0.05).The combined prediction of poor prognosis in ACI patients using serum miR-29b,miR-199a,miR-19a-3p levels and NHISS scores yielded an ACI of 0.988,which was superior to individual predictions(Z=2.878,3.551,3.300,3.452,P<0.05).Conclusion The serum expression levels of miR-199a and miR-19a-3p were significantly up-regulated,while miR-29b levels significantly down-regulated,which were related to the disease severity and prognosis.The the combination of the three miRNAs had certain value in predicting the poor prognosis of patients.MiR-29b,miR-199a,and miR-19a-3p can be used as important predictors to evaluate the progression and prognosis of ACI patients.

Objective: To investigate the tendency of obesity and depressive symptoms in middle school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a reference for exploring the clustering patterns of health risk behaviors and their effects on obesity and depressive symptoms. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to investigate the obesity, depressive symptoms and health risk behaviors of middle school students from 16 counties of Tianjin from 2019 to 2023. The latent classes analysis was used to classify health risk behaviors. The χ 2 test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the effects of different categories on obesity and depression symptoms. Results: The obesity detection rate of middle school students in Tianjin from 2019 to 2023 first increased ( 20.90% in 2019, 23.35% in 2020) and then decreased and gradually stabilized (2021-2023:22.20%-22.69%), and the detection rate of depressive symptoms showed a decreasing trend (from 21.65% to 14.92%). The detection rate of comorbidity of obesity and depressive symptoms first increased (4.62% in 2019, 4.66% in 2020) and then gradually decreased to 3.43% in 2023, and the rate was higher in boys than in girls and higher in urban areas than in suburban areas. Latent category analysis classified health risk behaviors into four categories: lack of exercise group, poor behaviors such as sleep group, poor diet group and healthy group. After adjusting for demographic characteristics,the results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the co-occurrence risk of obesity and depression symptoms among the top three groups of middle school students were 1.35( OR=1.35, 95%CI =1.15-1.58), 4.20( OR=4.20, 95%CI =3.50-5.04), and 1.84( OR=1.84, 95%CI =1.40-2.38)times, compared to the healthy group ( P <0.05). Conclusions From 2019 to 2023, the comorbidity rate of obesity and depression among middle school students in Tianjin increased first and then decreased gradually. Interventions should be made in the aspects of exercise, diet, sleep and other behaviors.

Abstract Currently, the school health system in China is transitioning from basic safeguarding to comprehensive health management and has been elevated to a national strategic level. However, the diversification of students health issues and the imbalance in resource allocation remain major challenges. To address issues such as adolescent myopia, obesity, spinal curvature, mental health, and infectious diseases, there is an urgently need to build a highlevel school health system that encompasses multiple aspects such as resource allocation optimization, professional skill enhancement, and health education improvement. Simultaneously, it is need to deepen the research and implementation of common disease prevention strategies for students. It will play a vital role in promoting the construction of Healthy China, the modernization of education, and the establishment of a highquality disease control system.
