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 mixedeffects 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.

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.

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.

Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is a non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the family Picornaviridae and the genus Cardiovirus. EMCV has the ability to infect various mammals, such as mice, pigs, and cattle. In addition, humans are susceptible to EMCV infection, and the seropositivity rate of relevant antibodies in healthy populations is steadily increasing, which poses a potential risk of epidemics. The initial step of viral infection in cells involves recognition and attachment to cell surface receptors, followed by endocytosis into the cells. Subsequently, viral proteins interact with host proteins within the cells to promote their own replication. With the progress made in protein-protein interaction studies and the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, multiple host proteins that interact with EMCV have been identified. This article summarizes the host proteins that interact with EMCV during infection, explores the mechanisms by which these proteins facilitate or inhibit viral invasion, discusses the latest progress in EMCV-induced endocytosis and intracellular signaling, hoping to provide reference for better elucidating EMCV receptor proteins, understanding viral infection and replication mechanisms, studying virus-host interactions and tissue tropism, and developing novel targeted antiviral drugs and prevention strategies.

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.
