Objective: To summarize strategies for improving childhood hypertension, so as to provide evidencebased recommendations for poliymaking and practice childhood hypertension management in China. Methods: From March to April 2024, child health stakeholders from five districts in Hangzhou were selected using a combination of stratified and convenience sampling methods. Data were analyzed using a groundedtheory approach. During the indepth interview phase, six policymakers were interviewed. Focus group discussions were conducted with school administrators, healthcare providers, and parents, comprising a total of 62 participants. Results: Through threelevel coding, 116 initial categories were identified(e.g., "trend of younger age" "difficulty in behavior change"), 35 main categories (e.g., "higher incidence compared to the past" "caused by comprehensive influencing factors"), and 12 core categories (e.g., "epidemic status" "influencing factors"). Finally, the cognitive status, problem analysis, and management strategies of children hypertension were constructed. Conclusion Effective prevention and control of childhood hypertension requires coordinated efforts among governments, schools, families, and society to establish a comprehensive management system, with dynamic monitoring and evaluation to optimize policy implementation.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is one of the most common and severe microvascular complications in diabetic patients and has become one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. With the continuous rise in the prevalence of diabetes, in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of DR and effective intervention measures is of great clinical significance. The mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR), as a protein kinase, is widely involved in cellular processes such as growth, metabolism, and autophagy. Research indicates that the mTOR signaling pathway plays a crucial regulatory role in the pathological progression of DR, and its abnormal activity can disrupt retinal cell autophagy function, thereby accelerating cellular damage and disease progression. Autophagy, as an important regulatory mechanism for cellular homeostasis, maintains cellular functional balance by clearing damaged organelles and protein aggregates. This article provides a systematic review of the structural and functional aspects of the mTOR signaling pathway, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of autophagy, and their roles in retinal pathological changes. By summarizing current research findings, the article aims to clarify the key regulatory role of the mTOR-autophagy axis in DR, providing theoretical support for elucidating the molecular pathogenesis of DR and offering potential targets and research directions for developing novel targeted therapeutic strategies, thereby holding significant scientific and clinical value.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is one of the common causes of visual impairment and blindness in adults, which is caused by various pathogenesis. Although the mechanism of DR has not been elucidated yet, the destruction of blood-retinal barrier is a key process. As a highly endothelial-specific factor in promoting the growth of vascular endothelial cell, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)plays a crucial role in the formation of pathological retinal neovascularization and the destruction of blood-retinal barrier. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of blood-retinal barrier damage promoted by VEGF is critical for exploring the pathogenesis of DR. In this study, the underlying relationship between VEGF and the mechanism of blood-retinal barrier damage, including retinal vascular endothelial cell permeability, vascular inflammatory response, apoptosis, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress, with a view to providing a reference for the study in VEGF in the pathogenesis of blood-retinal barrier damage in DR.

Objective:To analyze the depressive symptoms of physical and mental workers and the impact of their behavior and lifestyle on their depressive symptoms.Methods:In August 2022, a cross-sectional study design was adopted to select 553 workers as research subjects using cluster sampling. General demographic information, health-related behaviors and lifestyles were collected, and their depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). The differences in general demographic information, health-related behaviors and lifestyles between physical and mental workers were analyzed, and logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in occupational populations.Results:Among the 553 subjects, 317 were physical workers (57.32%) and 236 were mental workers (42.68%). Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of education level, monthly income, smoking rate, regular physical exercise rate and appropriate sleep time rate ( P<0.05). The score and the detection rate of depression symptoms among physical workers were (9.67±2.75) points and 20.82% (66/317), respectively, which were higher than those of mental workers [(8.34±2.18) points, 12.71% (30/236) ] ( t=6.13, χ 2=6.20, P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that smoking, regular physical exercise, appropriate sleep time and mental work were influencing factors of depressive symptoms among the occupational population ( OR=1.592, 95% CI: 1.316-1.825; OR=0.659, 95% CI: 0.416-0.830; OR=0.502, 95% CI: 0.257-0.717; OR=0.839, 95% CI: 0.522-0.967; P<0.05) . Conclusion:The depressive symptoms of physical workers are more serious than those of mental workers. Low education level, not frequently participating in physical exercise, smoking and sleep disorder are potential risk factors that affect the depressive symptoms of the occupational population.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is one of the main causes of visual impairment in middle-aged and elderly people,and the incidence of this disease is rising in our country.The imbalance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the main cause of nAMD.In addition,various growth factors other than VEGF,complement system activation,inflammatory factors,autophagy,and many other factors are involved in the pathogenesis of nAMD.Currently,intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs has become the first-line regimen for the treatment of nAMD,but there are still many shortcomings of the current anti-VEGF drugs,such as multiple potential risks of frequent injections,insensitive responses in some patients,and low compliance of the patients,etc.Therefore,the search for novel therapeutic agents has become urgent.This article provides a review of new developments in the study of novel drugs newly marketed and undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of nAMD,with the aim of seeking longer-lasting and better-acting therapeutic regimens,as well as exploring new therapeutic targets,to further inform the advancement of innovation and development of therapeutic strategies for nAMD.

Due to the increasingly severe situation of pathogen resistance， the efficacy of classical antibiotics has declined， and the difficulty of treating community-acquired pneumonia （CAP） has gradually increased. Omadacycline was approved for marketing in China in December 2021 and has been approved for treating community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection in adults. Based on introducing the pathogen resistance of CAP， this article systematically reviews the antibacterial activity and resistance， pharmacokinetic characteristics， and clinical efficacy of omadacycline. It is found that its antibacterial spectrum is wide， its bioavailability is high， and its safety is good. Its pharmacokinetic parameters are not affected by the patients’ age， gender， liver and kidney function， or drug interactions， and it is effective against multiple drug-resistant bacteria， Gram-negative bacteria producing extended-spectrum β-lactases， atypical pathogens， etc. It can be used as one of the treatment options for CAP. However， due to limited clinical research data and the short clinical application time of the drug， more clinical studies are still needed to verify its efficacy as a monotherapy or in combination with other antibiotics for severe pneumonia patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Notch1 and autophagy under high glucose conditions and to explore the effects of Notch1 inhibitor DAPT and autophagy inhibitor 3-MA on human retinal pigment epithelial cells cultured in high glucose conditions.Methods Via preliminary experiment,25 mmol·L-1 glucose was used as the high glucose culture medium of adult retinal pigment epithelial(ARPE)-19 cells,and 5 mmol·L-1 3-MA was adopted as the au-tophagy inhibitor.ARPE-19 cells cultured in vitro were randomly divided into four groups:control group(treated with 5 mmol·L-1 glucose for 48 h),high glucose group(treated with 25 mmol·L-1 glucose for 48 h),high glucose+DAPT group(treated with 40 μmol·L-1 DAPT for 2 h and then 25 mmol·L-1 glucose for 48 h),and high glucose+3-MA group(treated with 5 mmol·L-1 3-MA for 2 h and then 25 mmol·L-1 glucose for 48 h).A transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of cells in each group.Cell proliferation and migration were observed using Cell Counting Kit-8 and scratch assays.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Notch1 and autophagy-related proteins LC3 and Beclin1.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to measure the relative messenger ri-bonucleic acid(mRNA)expression levels of Notch1,LC3 and Beclin1 of cells in each group.Results Transmission elec-tron microscope showed that cells in the control group had normal structures,with round or oval nuclei and a few autopha-gosomes.In the high glucose group,cells exhibited slightly obvious injury,with uneven cytoplasm and numerous autolyso-somes.Compared to the control group,ARPE-19 cells in the high glucose group had increased proliferation and migration abilities,and higher mRNA and protein expression levels of Notch1,LC3 and Beclin1(all P＜0.05).Compared to the high glucose group,ARPE-19 cells in the high glucose+DAPT group showed decreased proliferation and migration abilities,and lower mRNA and protein expression levels of Notch1,LC3 and Beclin1(all P＜0.05).The high glucose+3-MA group showed reduced proliferation and migration abilities,as well as decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of LC3 and Beclin1(all P＜0.05)compared to the high glucose group.Conclusion High glucose can activate Notch1 and the auto-phagy process,promoting the proliferation of ARPE-19 cells.In the high glucose+DAPT group and high glucose+3-MA group,the autophagy process is inhibited to a certain extent,thereby restraining cell proliferation.

Objective To investigate if Lycium barbarum polysaccharide(LBP)could inhibit the high glucose-in-duced human retinal microvascular endothelial cell(HRMEC)injury by regulating the NOD-like receptor family pyrin do-main containing protein 3(NLRP3)/Caspase-1 pyroptosis pathway.Methods HRMECs cultured in vitro were randomly divided into the control group(5.5 mmol·L-1 glucose),the high glucose group(55.5 mmol·L-1 glucose),the low LBP group(55.5 mmol·L-1 glucose+100 mg·L-1 LBP),the medium LBP group(55.5 mmol·L-1 glucose+500 mg·L-1 LBP),the high LBP group(55.5 mmol·L-1 glucose+1 000 mg·L-1 LBP),the si-NC group(55.5 mmol·L-1glucose after transfection with 20 pmol·L-1 si-NC)and the si-NLRP3 group(55.5 mmol·L-1 glucose after transfection with 20μmol·L-1si-NLRP3).The Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect the proliferation of HRMECs in each group and flow cy-tometry was adopted to measure the pyroptosis of HRMECs in each group.The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reac-tion was used to detect the relative messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,nuclear factor(NF)-κB,Gasdermin-D(GSDMD)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the HRMECs of each group,Western blot was adopted to detect the relative protein expression levels of HRMEC pyroptosis-related NLRP3,Caspase-1,NF-κB,GSDMD and VEGF in each group,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-18 expression levels in downstream pyroptosis in the HRMEC supernatant of each group.Results Com-pared with the control group,the proliferation rate of HRMECs decreased,the pyroptosis rate increased,the relative mR-NA and protein expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,NF-κB,GSDMD and VEGF increased,and the expressions of IL-1βand IL-18 increased in the high glucose group(all P＜0.05).Compared with the high glucose group,the proliferation rate of HRMECs increased,the pyroptosis rate decreased,the relative mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,NF-κB,GSDMD and VEGF decreased,and the expressions of IL-1β and IL-18 decreased in the si-NLRP3 group(all P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in cell proliferation rate,pyroptosis rate,mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,NF-κB,GSDMD and VEGF,as well as levels of IL-1β and IL-18,in the si-NC group compared with the high glucose group(all P＞0.05).Compared with the high glucose group,the medium LBP group and high LBP group had increased proliferation rates,lower pyroptosis rates,and declined mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,NF-κB,GSDMD and VEGF as well as expressions of IL-1β and IL-18(all P＜0.05).Compared with the high glucose group,there was no significant difference in the proliferation rate of HRMECs and various protein expression levels in the low LBP group(all P＞0.05),and other indicators were consistent with those in the medium LBP group and high LBP group.Conclusion LBP has a protective effect on HRMEC injury induced by high glucose,can promote cell prolif-eration and inhibit pyroptosis,and its mechanism is related to inhibiting the activation of NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling path-way and reducing the expression of related inflammatory factors.
