In recent years, the prevalence of myopia has continued to rise, with an expanding affected population, making it a significant public health challenge both in China and globally. Elongation of the axial length in myopic eyes can induce a series of pathological changes in intraocular structure and function, increasing the risk of blinding ocular diseases such as retinal pathologies. Since myopia is difficult to reverse once established, scientific intervention is necessary to control its progression and reduce the likelihood of ocular complications. As a current research focus in myopia control, the clinical application of orthokeratology lenses has attracted considerable attention. This article highlights that orthokeratology lenses, worn overnight, reshape the corneal curvature and create a myopic defocus signal in the peripheral retina. This mechanism effectively inhibits excessive axial elongation and slows myopia progression. Clinical evidence indicates that orthokeratology can reduce axial elongation by 30% to 50%, accompanied by a short-term increase in choroidal thickness. This article also analyzes the advantages and limitations of orthokeratology and explores its potential synergistic effects when combined with other interventions such as low-dose atropine. The aim is to provide key theoretical and practical references for clinical myopia control.

In 2025, significant breakthroughs were achieved in various aspects of liver transplantation, including xenotransplantation, machine perfusion, minimally invasive surgery, precise immune regulation and artificial intelligence, etc. The successful implementation of gene-modified pig-to-human assisted liver transplantation marked the official entry of xenotransplantation into the clinical transformation stage. The machine perfusion technology completed multiple large-scale clinical validations, significantly improving the transplantation outcomes of marginal donor livers and donor livers from donation after cardiac death, and pushing organ preservation into the era of dynamic functional assessment. Split liver transplantation and living donor liver transplantation continuously optimized in terms of donor-recipient matching, liver utilization and perioperative management. Robotic and laparoscopic technologies further promoted liver transplantation towards the direction of precision and minimally invasive surgery. Hepatocellular carcinoma liver transplantation gradually formed a precise management model centered on immunotherapy, bridge downgrade and recurrence risk prediction. At the same time, artificial intelligence and multi-omics technologies demonstrated significant application value in prognosis prediction, organ allocation and complication risk assessment. This article conducts a systematic review of the important research progress in the field of liver transplantation in 2025 and looks forward to the future development directions and challenges.

OBJECTIVE To construct a pharmacy service quality evaluation system, identify weaknesses in the integrated development of pharmacy services, and provide a reference for the homogenized and high-quality development of pharmacy services in compact urban medical groups.METHODS Guided by the five core dimensions of the Servperf model, the Delphi method was used to screen and optimize items, and a tripartite pharmacy service quality evaluation system, covering clinicians, pharmacists, and patients, adapted to the characteristics of compact urban medical groups was constructed. A multicenter cross-sectional empirical investigation was conducted in six compact urban medical groups in Chongqing using the evaluation system.RESULTS Through two rounds of Delphi consultation with 12 experts, a tripartite pharmacy service quality evaluation system was successfully constructed, comprising 5 dimensions and 78 items (24 for clinical pharmacists, 23 for clinical medical staff, and 31 for patients and family members). The Cronbach’s α coefficients for all dimensions exceeded 0.81, and the KMO values all exceeded 0.7. A total of 1 339 valid questionnaires were collected, including 279 from clinical pharmacists, 727 from clinical medical staff, and 333 from patients and family members. The empirical investigation showed that the overall quality of regional basic pharmacy services was good, but significant inter-group differences existed in service perceptions among the three groups. The score differences across the five dimensions were all statistically significant among the three groups (all P <0.001). Except for the tangibles dimension, in which clinical medical staff scored significantly lower than clinical pharmacists and patients/family members, patients/family members scored significantly higher than clinical medical staff and clinical pharmacists in the other four dimensions ( P <0.05). For the 78 items, expert expectations largely matched the perceptions of the three groups, with a mean difference of 0.08 points; only 13 items showed a difference exceeding 0.5 points, representing marked gap,with “participating in multidisciplinary team consultation and making effective recommendations” showing the largest difference of 0.94 points.CONCLUSIONS The physician‑ pharmacist‑patient tripartite evaluation system constructed in this study is scientific and reliable. Empirical investigation confirms that the basic pharmaceutical support services of the medical groups are well established, whereas the development of high‑level collaborative services has notable weaknesses, and marked heterogeneity exists in service perception among the three groups.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of drug resistance genes of carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (CPECO) in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2021 to 2023, providing data support and theoretical basis for controlling nosocomial infections of CPECO.Methods:Using a cross-sectional study, 30 carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CRECO) strains confirmed by VITEK-2 Compact identification and drug sensitivity test in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2021 to 2023 were tested, using carbapenemase inhibitor enhancement test to conduct preliminary screening of carbapenemases, and colloidal gold immunochromatography and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to determine the phenotypes and genotypes of common carbapenemases ( blaKPC, blaNDM, blaVIM, blaIMP, blaOXA) respectively, and the genotypes ( blaSHV, blaTEM, blaCTX) of common extended Spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) were confirmed using PCR. The PCR amplification products of carbapenemase and ESBL positive strains were Sanger-sequenced, and the sequencing products were compared on the Blast website to determine the exact carbapenemase and ESBL genotypes. Sequence typing (ST) was performed on CPECO using the Achtman multi-locus sequence typing scheme to determine the cloning relationship between different strains. Results:A total of 21 CPECO strains were screened. Drug sensitivity test results showed that CPECO strains showed widespread drug resistance, with the resistance rate to monocyclic (aztreonam) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole being over 60%(16/21, 14/21), and the resistance rate to other antibacterial drugs being 100%. Only the sensitivity to aminoglycosides and fosfomycin remained relatively high, and no strains resistant to tigecycline and colistin were found. Colloidal gold immunochromatography detected 18 blaNDM types, 2 blaKPC types, and 1 blaIMP type. Sequencing of drug resistance gene PCR products classified 17 blaNDM-5 strains, 1 blaNDM-4 strain, 2 blaKPC-2 strain, and 1 blaIMP-4 strain, which were completely consistent with the results of screening test and colloidal gold immunochromatography. ESBL resistance gene testing showed that the detection rate of blaTEM was 42.9%(9/21), blaCTX-M was 33.3%(7/21), and blaSHV was 4.8%(1/21). The rate of blaNDM producing CPECO carrying both ESBL resistance genes was 27.8%(5/18). The MLST typing results revealed 11 sequence types (STs), including one ST155 clonal complex and nine singleton STs. Among these, there were seven strains of ST167, five strains of ST410, and one strain each of ST58, ST68, ST69, ST93, ST131, ST155, ST648, ST1114, and ST3268. Conclusion:The main resistance mechanism identified in this study for CPECO was the production of blaNDM-5 carbapenemase, with a high proportion of strains also carrying blaTEM-1D and/or blaCTX-M-15 ESBLs. MLST typing found that the epidemic strain of CPECO showed certain polymorphism, but there were clonal transmission of multiple clonal complexes between ST167 and ST410.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of biliary system diseases complicated by severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) and the risk factors.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 159 SAP patients admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2019 to October 2024. There were 105 male cases, 54 female cases;aged (42.3±10.8)years (range:20 to 71 years). Grouping was performed according to the presence or absence of concurrent acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) and biliary stricture. There were 58 cases in the AAC group,including 40 males and 18 females;aged (43.8±10.6) years (range:28 to 71 years);101 cases in the non-AAC group,including 64 males and 37 females;aged (41.5±10.8) years (range:20 to 64 years);there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting time,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis (all P<0.05);the time from onset of SAP to diagnosis of AAC( M (IQR)) was 10.5 (13.3) days (range: 3 to 34 days). There were 15 cases in the biliary stricture group,including 13 males and 2 females;age (46.5±10.0) years (range:33 to 63 years);141 cases in the non-biliary stricture group,including 89 males and 52 females;age (41.9±10.8) years (range: 20 to 71 years); there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis (all P<0.05);the time from the onset of SAP to the diagnosis of biliary stenosis in patients with biliary stenosis was 2.0 (3.0) months (range: 1 to 19 months). Univariate analysis was performed using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test,or Fisher′s exact probability method,and variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic and predictive value of the multivariate logistic regression model for AAC and biliary stricture. Results:There were statistically significant differences in fasting time,Balthazar-CTSI score,admission total bilirubin,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis between the AAC group and non-AAC group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that admission total bilirubin ( OR=1.033,95% CI: 1.010 to 1.058, P=0.004),Balthazar-CTSI score ( OR=1.276,95% CI: 1.036 to 1.572, P=0.022),fasting time ( OR=1.127,95% CI: 1.044 to 1.216, P=0.002), and sepsis ( OR=4.033, 95% CI: 1.419 to 11.462, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for AAC complicated by SAP. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve was 0.820 (95% CI: 0.752 to 0.888). There were statistically significant differences in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis between the biliary stricture group and non-biliary stricture group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that infected pancreatic necrosis ( OR=7.376,95% CI:1.566 to 37.750, P=0.012) and pancreatic head necrosis ( OR=3.898,95% CI:1.180 to 12.877, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicated by SAP. The AUC of the ROC curve was 0.806 (95% CI:0.715 to 0.898). Conclusions:AAC typically occurs in the early stage of SAP,and biliary stricture usually occurs in the late stage of SAP. Admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting duration,and concurrent sepsis are independent risk factors for AAC complicating SAP. Infected pancreatic necrosis and pancreatic head necrosis are independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicating SAP.

Chinese Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases 2025;43(3):175-179
Objective:To develop an individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on spatial distribution of noise in order to provide reference for occupational health management and hearing loss risk assessment caused by noise in workplace.Methods:From July 2018 to October 2019, 10 noise-exposed positions and 48 employees in 3 high-noise workplaces of a manufacturing enterprise in Sichuan Province were selected as the research objects. Occupational health survey, fixed-point measurement of workplace noise and individual noise measurement were used to obtain noise intensity and employee exposure information. The mean noise intensity and the corresponding exposure time were weighted to estimate the individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise, and the paired t-test was used to evaluate the accuracy of the individual noise exposure dose estimate (8 h equivalent sound level, L EX, 8h) based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise and the measured value of individual noise exposure dose. And the least square regression model was used to correct it. Results:The daily noise exposure dose of 44 (91.7%) of 48 workers in 10 types of work in 3 sites of the manufacturing enterprise exceeded the standard, and the maximum noise exposure intensity was up to 108.3 dB (A). The measured value of individual noise exposure dose was higher than L EX, 8h, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The noise difference distribution was mostly positive and symmetrical ( P=0.958). The measured noise exposure dose of 6 out of 10 work types in 3 sites was higher than L EX, 8h (all P<0.05), and there was a linear correlation between the measured dose and L EX, 8h ( r=0.373, P<0.05). Considering the influence of systematic error and the construction, diagnosis and screening of adaptive assessment model, an individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise was finally obtained: y=0.574 x+45.250, where y was the measured value of individual noise exposure dose, x was L EX, 8h value. Conclusion:The high noise hazard in manufacturing industry is more serious, and the noise exposure assessment of single fixed-point detection is relatively rough. The individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise has a certain role in the occupational health management of workplace noise hazard in manufacturing industry.
