ObjectiveTo investigate whether the expression of Piezo1 in bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts contributes to the development of conjunctivochalasis （CCH）. MethodsPrimary bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts were obtained from CCH patients and normal control （NC） group by tissue block applanation. The cells were then purified and subjected to fibroblast identification. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to assess Piezo1 expression in the bulbar conjunctival tissue of the NC and CCH groups. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of Piezo1 in bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts in the CCH and NC groups， as well as the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9（MMP-9） after the intervention of the Piezo1 agonist， Yoda1. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of mRNA of Piezo1 and MMP-9 in the CCH and NC groups， as well as the expression of mRNA of MMP-9 after the intervention of Yoda1. In addition， confocal microscopy was used to detect Ca²⁺influx in bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts in the NC group after Yoda1 intervention. Membrane clamp was used to detect the current amplitude of NC bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts after Yoda1 intervention to verify the functional expression of Piezo1. ResultsPrimary bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts were successfully cultured. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed elevated Piezo1 protein expression in the CCH group （P<0.01）. qRT-PCR analysis showed that Piezo1 mRNA expression was higher in the CCH group than in the NC group （P<0.01）， as was MMP-9 mRNA expression （P<0.01）. Furthermore， MMP-9 mRNA expression was higher in the CCH+Yoda1 group than in the CCH group （P<0.01）. Immunofluorescence staining for Piezo1 revealed enhanced fluorescence on the cell membranes of the CCH group compared with the NC group （P<0.05）， and the fluorescence of MMP-9 was enhanced by the addition of Yoda1 stimulation compared with that of the CCH group （P<0.05）. Confocal microscopy of NC group bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts after the addition of Yoda1 showed enhanced fluorescence of Piezo1 （P<0.05）. The addition of Yoda1 activated enhanced current amplitude， showed by membrane clamp detection of NC group bulbar conjunctival fibroblasts （P<0.000 1）. ConclusionMechanical damage produced by conjunctival tissues in conjunctivochalasis upregulates Piezo1 expression， and Piezo1 activation may amplify the mechanical damage caused by CCH.

Objective: To explore the relationship between life skills, psychological resilience and subjective well-being among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide evidence for targeted adolescent mental health education. Methods: From September to November, 2025, a total of 5 831 primary and secondary school students from five cities (Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Urumqi) were selected by convenience sampling. The Adolescent Subjective Well being Scale, School based Adolescents Life Skills Scale, and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale were used for investigation. Data were analyzed using t-tests, one way ANOVA, and linear regression. Results: The total mean score of students subjective well being was (5.46± 0.91) ; the total mean score of life skills was (3.69±0.64); the total mean score of psychological resilience was (3.66±0.69). Statistically significant differences in subjective well being scores were found among students grouped by gender, grade, school stage, residential city, living with parents or living with siblings ( t/F =4.14, 53.92, 14.53, 49.99, 13.49, 2.18, all P <0.01). Stratified regression analyses were performed by gender (adjusting for school stage, residential city and living arrangement) and by school stage (adjusting for gender, residential city and living arrangement), the regression results indicated that life skills of boys, girls, primary school students and junior high school students( β =0.54, 0.53, 0.50, 0.57) and their psychological resilience ( β = 0.56 , 0.60, 0.56, 0.60) were positively associated with subjective well being (all P <0.01). Conclusions Life skills and psychological resilience may be important protective factors for subjective well being among primary and secondary school students. School based mental health education should emphasize life skills training and resilience building to promote students subjective well being.

Conclusions:DCBE eye drops can promote corneal repair, stabilize tear film and improve dry eye discomfort in early postoperative period in diabetic cataract, and its overall effect is better than 0.3% sodium hyaluronate eye drops.

Objective: To isolate a lytic phage targeting K. pneumoniae type K39 from untreated sewage and systematically analyze its biological characteristics and genomic information. Methods: The bacteriophage of K. pneumoniae K39 Kp 1000 was identified based on the sequence of the capsular polysaccharide gene. It was isolated and purified using the double agar plate method. The morphology of the phage was observed through negative staining and transmission electron microscopy,and its bacteriophage spectrum was evaluated by phagocytosis. The biological characteristics of the bacteriophage were assessed by determining the optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI),constructing a one-step growth curve,and conducting temperature and pH tolerance tests. Finally,the phage DNA was extracted,and its whole genome was sequenced using the Illumina Hi Seq2000 sequencing platform. The sequencing results were then annotated and analyzed. Results: A lytic phage specifically targeting K. pneumoniae type K39was successfully isolated and named IME330. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the head diameter of the phage was(75 ± 1) nm and the tail length was(185 ± 1) nm. The lytic spectrum analysis revealed that IME330 lysed K. pneumoniae type K39,demonstrating a narrow host range and high specificity. The optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI) was 0. 1,The lysis amount reached 168 PFU/cell. Physicochemical experiments indicated that IME330 exhibited strong tolerance to high temperatures and a broad p H range(pH 4-10). Genomic analysis demonstrated that the IME330 genome had a length of 144,245 bp,a molecular weight of 46,463 MDa,G +C content of 44. 8%,and encoded 320 open reading frames(ORFs). Conclusion IME330 is a novel lytic K.pneumoniae phage belonging to the order Caudovirales. This phage exhibits strong tolerance to physicochemical factors(e. g.,temperature,acidic/alkaline conditions) and demonstrates high lytic activity,while its lytic spectrum remains narrow with strict host specificity.

Objective To quantitatively assess the correlation between the skeletal muscle index(SMI)of patients and the occur-rence of anastomotic leakage(AL)in rectal cancer patients after surgery,and to analyze the risk factors for AL in rectal cancer patients and the influencing factors of sarcopenia.Methods The clinical,pathological,and related imaging data of 362 patients who under-went radical surgery for rectal cancer were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent pelvic MRI and abdominal CT scans(plain/enhanced)within one month before surgery,and the third lumbar vertebra skeletal muscle area(L3-SMA)was measured from the images.All patients were divided into AL group(56 cases)and control group(306 cases)based on the presence or absence of postoperative complications.The differences in clinical characteristics and imaging parameters between the two groups were analyzed.A logistic risk prediction model was established.Results Significant differences were observed between the two groups in sarcopenia,type of surgery,surgical approach,serum albumin level,operation duration,stoma type,and extramural vascular invasion(EMVI)(P＜0.05).These factors were incorporated in a multivariate logistic regression analysis model,the area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of the model was 0.810[95％confidence interval(CI)0.743-0.876,P＜0.001],with a sensitivity of 0.865 and specificity of 0.669.Conclusion Sar-copenia is a significant risk factor for AL after rectal cancer surgery.It enhances the predictive efficacy for postoperative AL and serves as a basis for identifying high-risk populations for AL in clinical practice.

Compared with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry(MALDI-MS)using organic small molecule matrix,surface-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry(SALDI-MS)based on nanomaterial matrix is more effective in analysis of small molecule compounds.Ion sputtering instruments have obvious advantages for applying inorganic nanomatrix.In this work,the carbon-platinum material was sputtered onto a glass cover slip using an ion sputtering instrument to form a carbon-platinum(C-Pt)composite nanomatrix,and an SALDI-MS analytical method was thus established based on the prefabricated C-Pt composite matrix.The experimental results showed that the C-Pt composite nanomatrix could significantly improve the signal intensity and signal-to-noise ratio of the mass spectrum peaks of the components to be measured.The ratio of carbon to platinum,the duration of ion sputtering,and the laser power in mass spectrometer were investigated to select the optimal C-Pt matrix prefabricated conditions and SALDI-MS experimental conditions.Using the prefabricated C-Pt composite matrix,the melittriose and daidzein sample solution were applied as sample to examine repeatability.The results showed that the intra-point repeatability(RSD)was≤4.8%and the inter-point repeatability(RSD)was≤6.4%.The quercetin and melitriose were applied as model samples,and a linearity between MS peak intensity and respective concentration in the range of 0.05-1.0 mg/mL was found,with linear correlation coefficients(R2)greater than 0.994,showing good potential for quantitative and imaging analysis.Then,the prefabricated C-Pt composite matrix was applied to SALDI-MS analysis of the 50%ethanol extract of soybean,and 15 kinds of compounds including oligosaccharides and triglycerides were identified from the mass spectra.Furthermore,the C-Pt matrix was employed in SALDI-MS imaging for the compositions in corn tissue section,and the results showed that diglycerides and triglycerides were mainly distributed in the corn embryo and around the embryo,and the distribution of oligosaccharides was relatively even.
