Objective: To compare the effects of height-desk-chair matching on the viewing distance of primary school students before and after intervention, so as to provide scientific basis for the hygiene management of desks and chairs. Methods: From April to June 2025, a random cluster sampling method was used to select 141 third grade students from three classes equipped with adjustable desks and chairs in a primary school in Hefei City for a height-desk-chair matching intervention study. The height of students desks and chairs was adjusted according to the standard height and height range specified in the Functional Sizes and Technical Requirements of Chairs and Tables for Educational Institutions (GB/T 3976-2014), with an intervention period of one week. Before and after the intervention, eye use data were measured by using the electronic smart device "Cloud Clip", while collecting data on vision data viewing distance, time spent using eyes at close range and outdoor time, desk and chair height, and physical examination. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate the factors related to viewing distance before the intervention of height-desk-chair matching, and a paired t-test was used to analyze the difference in viewing distance before and after the intervention. A mixed effects model was used to explore the effect of height desk and chair adaptation intervention on viewing distance. Results: The compliance rates for desk and chair adjustments before and after the intervention were 1.4% and 18.4%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=22.84, P <0.01). The viewing distance increased from (30.48±5.01) cm before intervention to (32.06±5.75) cm post intervention, with a statistically significant difference ( t=4.57, P <0.01). The proportion of students meeting the viewing distance standard increased from 33.3% to 51.1%. The linear mixedeffects model results indicated that the association between height appropriate desk and chair interventions and viewing distance was statistically significant, regardless of whether covariates such as time spent using eyes at close range and outdoor time were adjusted ( β=-1.58, 95%CI = -2.25 to -0.91; β=-1.14, 95%CI =-1.85 to -0.43, both P <0.05). Conclusion Height adjusted desks and chairs, which can effectively increase the viewing distance for primary school students, has positive implications for improving healthy eye care behaviors among children and adolescents.

Innate immune system serves as the primary defense mechanism against pathogen infections,recognition of structural components of pathogens is referred to as pathogen-associated molecular patterns(PAMPs).Toll-like receptors(TLRs)are a family of transmembrane receptors that can identify PAMPs,which interact with myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)and activate NF-κB dimerization,leading to the release of downstream inflammatory factors and ultimately triggering the adaptive immune system.Conse-quently,TLRs are regarded as adapters that regulate the transition from innate immunity to adaptive immunity.TLR/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway plays a crucial role in inflammatory diseases,infectious diseases and tumor immunity.This review article aims to explore the regulatory function of TLR/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in host responses to viral,bacterial,and other microbial in-fections,providing novel insights into the immune response during the process of infection control.

Background Chlorinated perfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate Cl-PFAES, trade name F-53B, a novel per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), has been shown to induce multi-organ toxicity in humans and cross the blood-brain barrier. However, its toxic effects and underlying mechanisms on neural stem cells (NSCs) remain unclear. Objective To investigate the impact of F-53B on NSCs proliferation and differentiation through oxidative stress and explore its potential molecular mechanisms in associations with mitochondrial function damage and the expression of autophagy-related gene (PINK1/Parkin). Methods Primary NSCs isolated from neonatal C57BL/6 mice were used as a model and exposed to F-53B at concentrations of 0, 33, or 100 μmol·L⁻¹ for 24 h. Cell viability was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, while proliferation was evaluated by the 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assay. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to observe differentiation phenotypes. Intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were quantified using dihydroethidium (DHE) and MitoSOX probes, respectively. Mitochondrial morphology was observed using MitoTracker Green. ATP level was measured with a commercial kit. Additionally, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was conducted to quantify the expression of PINK1 and Parkin genes. Results Exposure to 100 μmol·L⁻¹ F-53B significantly reduced cell viability to 93.6% of the control group (P<0.01), and decreased the proportion of EdU⁺ cells (P<0.01), indicating proliferation inhibition. The differentiation analysis showed a reduction in neuronal generation, axonal shortening, and an increase in astrocytes. The 100 μmol·L⁻¹ F-53B exposure elevated intracellular ROS to 122% (P<0.01) and mitochondrial ROS (MitoROS) to 135% (P<0.001) of the control levels, leading to mitochondrial fragmentation. The ATP levels after the F-53B exposure decreased to 62.4% relative to the control group (P<0.001). Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of PINK1 and Par after the F-53B exposure were notably reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion F-53B may induce oxidative stress, thereby disrupting mitochondrial morphology and function while inhibiting the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway, ultimately leading to impaired neural stem cell proliferation and abnormal differentiation. This study provides new insights into the neurotoxicity mechanisms of F-53B.

Objective To explore the relationships of job engagement with mental elasticity and resilience in the nurses of burn unit,so as to provide references for the construction of stable nursing team.Methods A total of 159 nurses who were selected from 16 burn centers in 9 provinces and cities such as Shanghai and Jiangsu by convenience sampling from January to April 2024 were enrolled in this study.General data questionnaire,work engagement scale,psychological resilience scales,and medical staff resilience scales were used.Results The total scores of job engagement,mental elasticity and resilience were 34.25±8.59,67.77±12.70,and 74.62±10.51,respectively.The total score and the scores of all dimensions of job engagement were positively correlated with mental elasticity and resilience(P<0.01).Univariate analysis showed that the working years,the number of late night shifts,and children affected the job engagement of the nurses(P<0.05).The optimal scale analysis showed that the number of late night shifts,mental elasticity and stress scores were the main factors affecting the job engagement(P<0.01).The structural equation model showed that both mental elasticity and resilience could directly predict the job engagement,and the path coefficient was 0.372 and 0.387(P<0.01).Mental elasticity indirectly acted on the job engagement through stress resistance,the indirect effect was 0.248,and the mediation effect accounted for 30.8%of the total effect.Conclusion The mental elasticity and resilience of nurses can be improved by optimizing the allocation of human resources and the scheduling structure,so as to increase the job engagement and further stabilize the burn care team.

Objective:To determine the causal relationship between educational attainment and the risk of allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.Methods:This study was a secondary data analysis based on the summary data of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which involved 293 723 participants (educational attainment) from the Social Science Genetics Association Consortium and 462 013 participants [allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema] from the UK Biobank. Genetic variants that were closely related to educational attainment were identified as instrumental variables. Two-sample MR analyses, including inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median method and weighted model-based estimation, were performed to investigate the causal relationship between educational attainment and the risk of allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema, in which the odds ratio ( OR) values were used as indicators. Results:A total of 70 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were chosen as instrumental variables. The MR-Egger regression results suggested that the genetic pleiotropy was unlikely to bias our results ( P=0.107). In the univariable MR analyses, IVW regression showed that the risk of allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema was OR=1.044 (95% CI: 1.020-1.069, P<0.001) and OR=1.170 (95% CI: 1.074-1.256, P<0.001), respectively, for the increase in the duration of education by one year or one standard deviation ( SD) (3.71 years). In the reverse MR analysis, IVW regression showed little evidence that allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema affected educational attainment ( OR=1.020, 95% CI: 0.927-1.023, P=0.683). The results of the weighted median method and weighted mode-based estimation were consistent with the results of IVW. Conclusion:This study suggests that there is a positive causal relationship between educational attainment and the risk of allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema, which means that educational attainment can increase the occurrence of allergic rhinitis and (or) eczema.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of vitamin D supplementation on Hashimoto′s thyroiditis(HT).Methods:Female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups by random number table method: control group, experimental autoimmune thyroiditis(EAT) control model group(model group), low-dose(VD1 group) and high-dose(VD2 group) active vitamin D intervention groups. The morphology of thyroid cells, thyroid function, thyroid antibodies, various CD4 + T cells, and related cytokine levels among different groups were compared. Results:The levels of thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroid globulin antibody(TgAb) in model group were significantly higher than those in control group, while the levels of VD1 and VD2 groups were significantly lower than those in model group( P<0.05). Compared with control group, HE staining in model group showed severe damage of follicular epithelial cells; Compared with model group, the degree of atrophy and destruction of follicular epithelial cells in VD1 and VD2 groups were reduced. The proportion of helper T cell(Th)1 and Th17 cells and related cytokine levels in model group were significantly higher than those in control group, while those in VD1 and VD2 groups were lower than those in model group( P<0.05); The proportion of regulatory T cell(Treg) cells and related cytokine levels in model group were significantly lower than those in control group, while those in VD1 and VD2 groups were higher than those in model group( P<0.05). Conclusions:After supplementing with vitamin D, the levels of TPOAb and TgAb in EAT rats decreased, and the number of various CD4 + T cells and related cytokine levels tended towards normalization. This suggests that vitamin D may improve HT by regulating CD4 + T cell differentiation, providing a theoretical basis for the role of vitamin D supplementation in HT treatment.
