Objective: To analyze the status of outdoor activities on weekends among children and adolescents of different educational stages in Shanghai and their impact on myopia, so as to provide a basis for formulating more specific prevention and control protocol of myopia. Methods: From September to October 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 84 schools (27 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 15 junior high schools and 21 high schools) across Shanghai, enrolling a total of 28 654 children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 for the study. Ophthalmic examinations were conducted to ascertain the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was administered to collect data on outdoor activity duration and associated factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the associated factors of outdoor activity levels on weekends. Results: The overall myopia detection rate among children and adolescents was 58.4%, with a higher rate observed in girls (59.2%) compared to boys (57.6%). The myopia detection rates for children and adolescents with an average daily outdoor activity duration of ≥2 h and <2 h on weekends were 54.6% and 68.8%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=8.12,460.89, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls ( OR =0.80), those with a myopic parent ( OR =0.68), schools from urban districts ( OR =0.72), higher education stages (primary school: OR =0.65, junior high school: OR =0.24, high school: OR =0.14) and spending≥2 h/d on homework during weekends ( OR =0.57) among children and adolescents were less likely to engage in outdoor activities for ≥2 h on weekends ( P <0.01). After incorporating gender, parental myopia status, educational stage, school location, average daily duration on weekends for spending on homework, electronic product usage and outdoor activities as dependent variables in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that children and adolescents with an average outdoor activity duration for ≥2 h on weekends had a lower risk of myopia ( OR =0.86, P < 0.01). Conclusions The level of outdoor activity among children and adolescents on weekends needs to be improved. Outdoor activities on weekends is an associated factor for myopia among children and adolescents. Particularly, girls, those with myopic parents, schools from urban districts, and spending long hours on homework during weekends among children and adolescents require increased attention.

Purpose: The genomic characteristics of uterine sarcomas have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to explore the genomic landscape of the uterine sarcomas (USs). Materials and Methods: Comprehensive genomic analysis through RNA-sequencing was conducted. Gene fusion, differentially expressed genes (DEGs), signaling pathway enrichment, immune cell infiltration, and prognosis were analyzed. A deep learning model was constructed to predict the survival of US patients. Results: A total of 71 US samples were examined, including 47 endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS), 18 uterine leiomyosarcomas (uLMS), three adenosarcomas, two carcinosarcomas, and one uterine tumor resembling an ovarian sex-cord tumor. ESS (including high-grade ESS [HGESS] and low-grade ESS [LGESS]) and uLMS showed distinct gene fusion signatures; a novel gene fusion site, MRPS18A–PDC-AS1 could be a potential diagnostic marker for the pathology differential diagnosis of uLMS and ESS; 797 and 477 uterine sarcoma DEGs (uDEGs) were identified in the ESS vs. uLMS and HGESS vs. LGESS groups, respectively. The uDEGs were enriched in multiple pathways. Fifteen genes including LAMB4 were confirmed with prognostic value in USs; immune infiltration analysis revealed the prognositic value of myeloid dendritic cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, natural killer cells, macrophage M1, monocytes and hematopoietic stem cells in USs; the deep learning model named Max-Mean Non-Local multi-instance learning (MMN-MIL) showed satisfactory performance in predicting the survival of US patients, with the area under the receiver operating curve curve reached 0.909 and accuracy achieved 0.804. Conclusion USs harbored distinct gene fusion characteristics and gene expression features between HGESS, LGESS, and uLMS. The MMN-MIL model could effectively predict the survival of US patients.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills combined with telmisartan tablets in the treatment of hypertensive vertigo syndrome of phlegm-heat disturbance.Methods:Randomized controlled trial was conducted. Totally 80 patients with hypertension vertigo and phlegm-heat disturbance syndrome were selected from March 2021 to August 2022 at Beijing Tongrentang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the observation objects. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received oral telmisartan tablets, while the experimental group received Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills in addition to the control group. Both groups were treated for 28 days and followed up for 1 month. The patients' room blood pressure before and after treatment was measured, and TCM syndrome scores were evaluated. The dizziness assessment rating scale (DARS) was used to evaluate the severity of dizziness, adverse reactions during treatment were recorded, drug safety was observed, and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the experimental group was 85.0% (34/40), and that of the control group was 7.5% (3/40), with statistical significance between the two groups ( χ2=48.32, P<0.001). Compared with before treatment, the experimental group had SBP [(136.63 ± 6.01) mmHg vs. (159.30 ± 9.01) mmHg, t=-21.00] and DBP [(84.48 ± 4.36) mmHg vs. (95.30 ± 3.75) mmHg, t=-13.80] after treatment; after treatment, SBP [(137.34 ± 6.39) mmHg vs. (158.00 ± 10.06) mmHg, t=-5.28] and DBP [(86.08 ± 4.43) mmHg vs. (95.18 ± 6.61) mmHg, t=-8.09] decreased in the control group ( P<0.01), but there was no statistical significance between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores in the experimental group (8.68 ± 3.39 vs. 15.12 ± 3.03, Z=-6.61) were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001), and DARS score [(8.53 ± 3.93) vs. (12.20 ± 3.95), Z=-3.63] was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.001). After treatment, the therapeutic effect index of TCM syndromes in the experimental group improved compared to before treatment in the same group. The therapeutic effect index of each symptom, from high to low, was as follows: rotation of oneself or visual objects>numbness of limbs>dry stool>dizziness and dizziness>liking cold drinks>bitter and dry mouth>red urine>red tongue, yellow coating, and greasy tongue>vomiting sticky and turbid phlegm>tinnitus>smooth pulse. There were no significant adverse reactions during the treatment of the two groups. Conclusion:Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills combined with telmisartan can reduce the blood pressure of patients with hypertensive vertigo syndrome of phlegm-heat disturbance, improve the vertigo symptoms and TCM syndromes of patients, and the efficacy evaluation is superior to that of telmisartan alone.

Aim To study the causal relationship between coffee consumption and atherosclerosis risk.Methods Based on the public genome database IEU Open GW AS project website,relevant data were obtained,and in-strumental variables closely related to exposure and outcome were screened.Mendelian randomization analysis was per-formed using the inverse variance weighted method,weighted median method,and MR Egger method to assess the causal relationship between coffee consumption and arteriosclerosis(including coronary atherosclerosis,peripheral atherosclerosis,cerebral atherosclerosis,and other atherosclerosis).In addition,the Egger intercept method was used to detect the level of pleiotropy,the Cochran Q test was used to assess the heterogeneity,and the leave one out method was used to perform sensitivity analysis,so as to ensure the robustness of the results.Results The study showed that the F-values of the instrumental variables included in the study were all greater than 10,and there was no weak instrumental variables bias.Coffee consumption was positively correlated with the risk of coronary atherosclerosis(OR=1.535 5,95％CI=1.108 4～2.127 2,P=0.009 9),peripheral atherosclerosis(OR=2.098 6,95％CI=1.182 2～3.725 7,P=0.011 4),and other atherosclerosis(OR=1.864 7,95％CI=1.052 9～3.302 4,P=0.032 6),but not with the risk of cerebral atherosclerosis.Heterogeneity test Q_pval＞0.05,level pleiotropy test interval P＞0.05.Conclusions The single nucleotide polymor-phisms selected in the study are all strong instrumental variables,and there is no heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy,in-dicating reliable results.The research shows that coffee consumption increases the risk of coronary atherosclerosis,pe-ripheral atherosclerosis and other atherosclerosis,and has no significant correlation with the risk of cerebral atherosclerosis.The health management of atherosclerosis patients should reduce coffee consumption.

Objective:To explore the psychological experience and demand of parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery.Methods:This study adopted phenomenological research methods from qualitative research. Using the purposive sampling method, parents of postoperative delayed recovery children with congenital heart disease who met the inclusion criteria were selected as the research objects from October to November 2019 at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parents of the children, and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:Finally, 13 parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery were included. According to the interview results, four themes were extracted, which were negative psychological experience of parents of children with delayed recovery, positive psychological experience and expectation change of parents, heavy economic burden of parents and diversified needs of parents.Conclusions:During the delayed recovery period, psychological experience of parents is complex and their needs are diverse. The nursing staff should identify and pay attention to the causes of the negative psychological experience of the parents of the children, timely channel their negative emotions and strengthen the positive psychological experience in many aspects. They can assist parents to seek social help to reduce physical and mental pressure and meet the diverse needs of parents by providing high-quality nursing services and multi-channel information support.

This work aims to explore the effect of glycolysis on the replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). The changes of glucose metabolism, PRRSV protein levels, PRRSV titers, and the relative expression levels of genes and proteins in PAMs were analyzed by ELISA, qPCR, virus titration, and Western blotting after PRRSV infection. The effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) on PRRSV replication was subsequently assessed by specific siRNAs targeting to HIF-1α. The results showed that PRRSV infection enhanced glycolysis, elevated the levels of glucose uptake and lactate in the supernatant (P<0.05 and 0.01, respectively), reduced ATP production (P<0.05), and up-regulated the expression of hexokinase 2 (HK2), 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), and pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) in PAMs (P<0.05 and 0.01, respectively). Glycolysis inhibitors down-regulated the expression of PRRSV proteins and reduced virus titers (P<0.01). The knockdown of HIF-1α by siRNAs inhibited glycolysis and lowered PRRSV titers (P<0.05). In addition, the interferon pathways inhibited by PRRSV infection were reversed by the inhibition of glycolysis. These findings may facilitate further investigation of the role of glycolysis in PRRSV replication.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for simultaneous determination of two third-generation anti-epileptic medicines such as lacosamide and perampanel in human plasma and apply this method in clinical practice. METHODS Using clozapine as internal standard， the concentrations of lacosamide and perampanel of plasma samples in 10 epileptic patients were determined by LC-MS/MS after protein precipitation with acetonitrile and dilution with acetonitrile-water （20∶80，V/V）， and the plasma minimum concentrations were obtained by dilution of multiple. The determination was performed on Welch Ultimate XB-C18 column， with mobile phase A consisted of 10 mmol/L ammonium formate and mobile phase B consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-isopropanol （0.2% formic acid） mixed solution （7∶1.5∶1.5， V/V/V） for gradient elution at the flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃ ， and the sample size was 5 μL. The electrospray ion source and multi-reaction monitoring mode were used for positive iron scanning. The ion pair used for quantitative analysis of lacosamide， perampanel and internal standard were m/z 251.2→ 144.1， m/z 350.2→219.2 and m/z 327.2→270.0， respectively. RESULTS The linear ranges of lacosamide and perampanel were 0.001 25-0.125 μg/mL（r＞0.99）， 0.037 5-3.75 ng/mL （r＞0.99）； the limits of quantification were 0.001 25 μg/mL and 0.037 5 ng/mL， respectively. The precision and accuracy within and between batches， extraction recovery rate， matrix effect， and stability all met relevant requirements. The minimum concentrations of lacosamide in No. 1-5 patients were 5.3-12.2 μg/mL， and the minimum concentrations of perampanel in No.6-10 patients were 208-510 ng/mL， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established method is simple， rapid and suitable for the therapeutic drug monitoring of lacosamide and perampanel.
