AIM: To investigate the decentration of the treatment zone(TZ)and the early impact on corneal higher-order aberrations(HOAs)induced by orthokeratology(OK)lenses fitted with digital corneal topography.METHODS: A retrospective longitudinal clinical study was conducted on 28 patients(28 right eyes)who were digitally fitted with OK lenses at the Laser Vision Center of Xi'an No.1 Hospital since 2023. Longitudinal measurements were taken at baseline, 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo post-treatment to assess changes in TZ diameter, decentration magnitude and direction. Furthermore, changes in corneal HOAs were observed, and correlations of decentration with each HOAs were also analyzed.RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 10.29±2.00 years, with 15 males and 13 females, and the average baseline spherical equivalent was -2.92±0.94 D. The average TZ diameters at 1 wk, 1, and 3 mo were 3.64±0.58, 3.83±0.57, and 3.69±0.55 mm, respectively, with no statistically significant differences between 1 wk and 3 mo. Horizontal decentration values were -0.43±0.28, -0.38±0.33, and -0.31±0.37 mm after wearing lenses for 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo, respectively, while vertical decentration values were -0.33±0.20, -0.33±0.23, and -0.36±0.23 mm across the same time points. The TZ consistently decentered inferotemporally, and changes in both horizontal and vertical decentration over time were not statistically significant(Fhorizontal=1.416, Phorizontal=0.252; Fvertical=0.126, Pvertical=0.882). Significant increases in total corneal HOAs, coma, and spherical aberration were observed at 5 mm optical zone post-wear(F=45.695, 33.401, and 45.091, all P<0.001). Vertical decentration at 1 wk and 1 mo was negatively correlated with total HOAs and coma(all P<0.05), while horizontal decentration at 3 mo showed a weak negative correlation with spherical aberration(P=0.037).CONCLUSION: Digitally-fitted OK lenses achieved stable TZ diameter by 1 wk post-wear, with minor inferotemporal decentration. Early post-wear corneal total HOAs, coma and sphercal aberration increased significantly, and vertical downward decentration was associated with elevated total HOAs and coma. However, correlations between decentration and HOAs weakened by 3 mo.

Objective To investigate the mechanism mediating the regulatory effect of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 on cisplatin(DDP)resistance in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods MAGI2-AS3 and miR-1269a expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR in DDP-sensitive lung cancer cell lines(A549 and H1299)and their resistant counterparts(A549/DDP and H1299/DDP).In A549 and H1299 cells with MAGI2-AS3 silencing and A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells overexpressing MAGI2-AS3,the effects of 20 μmol/L DDP on cell viability and apoptosis were examined with CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,flow cytometry and Western blotting,and the changes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)were assessed with wound healing and Transwell assays.The interaction between MAGI2-AS3,miR-1269a and PTEN was predicted using GEPIA,StarBase and miRDB and verified with luciferase reporter gene assay and radioimmunoprecipitation(RIP)assay.A miR-1269a mimic and pcDNA3.1-PTEN plasmid were used to perform the rescue assay.Results MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly downregulated in lung cancer tissues(P<0.05)in association with a poor prognosis(P<0.05).In the two DDP-resistant lung cancer cell lines,MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly lowered as compared with the sensitive cells.Silencing MAGI2-AS3 significantly enhanced cell viability and promoted EMT of A549 and H1299 cells irrespective of DDP treatment,and also decreased DDP-induced apoptosis of the cells.In A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells,MAGI2-AS3 overexpression strongly repressed cell viability and EMT irrespective of DDP treatment and promoted DDP-induced cell apoptosis.Luciferase reporter gene and RIP assays confirmed the binding of MAGI2-AS3 with miR-1269a and the binding of miR-1269a with 3'-UTR domain of PTEN.The rescue assay demonstrated that MAGI2-AS3 acted as a sponge for miR-1269a to promote PTEN expression and downregulate AKT phosphorylation,thus inhibiting EMT and promoting DDP-induced apoptosis of A549/DDP cells.Conclusion MAGI2-AS3 enhances DDP sensitivity of NSCLC by targeted regulation of the miR-1269a/PTEN/AKT signaling axis.

National health standards involve all kinds of technical requirements formulated and numbered in accordance with the procedures and formats stipulated in the standardisation system for the implementation of national health and hygiene laws, regulations and policies, and the protection of human health. The establishment of health standards in China should align with our legal framework, including laws, regulations, departmental rules, and health and hygiene policies. During the development of these standards, a comprehensive approach is advocated, encompassing in-depth investigations, rigorous demonstrations, and extensive stakeholder engagement. However, the process of standard formulation may suffer from insufficient research evidence. The evidence-based concept emphasizes the significance of evidence. Therefore, integrating evidence-based concept into the process of developing health standards can enhance the quality and scientific basis of these standards. This article systematically elucidates the current status and development process of health standards in China, explores the necessity and feasibility of incorporating evidence-based concept into the development of these standards, analyzes the challenges and opportunities, and presents reflections and suggestions.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective:To explore the chain mediation role of career development planning and career success in the relationship between nurses' professional values and occupational embeddedness.Methods:From February to March 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to select 763 nurses from ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Wenzhou as research subjects. Data were collected using a General Information Questionnaire, the Occupational Embeddedness Scale for Nurses (OESN), the Nursing Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R), the Nurses' Career Planning Questionnaire (NCPQ), and the Career Success Scale for Nurses (CSSN). Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlations among the scores of OESN, NPVS-R, NCPQ, and CSSN. The AMOS 21.0 software was used to construct a structural equation model to explore the chain mediation role of career development planning and career success in the relationship between nurses' professional values and occupational embeddedness.Results:A total of 763 questionnaires were collected, with 749 valid responses, resulting in an effective recovery rate of 98.17%. The average scores for the 749 nurses were as follows: OESN (60.29±7.65), NPVS-R (108.99±11.82), NCPQ (42.98±4.44), CSSN (73.57±8.34). All four scale scores were positively correlated with each other ( P<0.05). The chain mediation effect of career development planning and career success in the relationship between nurses' professional values and occupational embeddedness was established, with the total indirect effect accounting for 46.04% (0.302/0.656) of the total effect and the chain mediation effect of career development planning and career success accounting for 10.21% (0.067/0.656) . Conclusions:The level of occupational embeddedness among nurses needs further improvement. Nurses' professional values not only directly influence their level of occupational embeddedness but also affect their career development planning, which in turn impacts their career success, ultimately exerting an indirect effect on occupational embeddedness. Nursing managers should strengthen nurses' professional values, assist them in formulating clear career development plans, and provide timely feedback and recognition of career success.

Objective:To investigate the role of serum CX3CR1 in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis and in the evaluation of prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods:A total of 101 patients with coronary artery stenosis (≥ 50% stenosis) confirmed with coronary angiography (CAG) in Haiyang People's Hospital from January 2018 to May 2019 who were followed up till May 2021 were included in the observation group. Thirty-four healthy individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period were included in the control group. Patients in the observation group were divided into an in-stent restenosis group (ISR group, n = 28) and a non-ISR group ( n = 73). The expression of CX3CR1 was detected. The incidence of adverse cardiac events was calculated. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) plotted for the use of CX3CR1 to diagnose coronary artery stenosis and predict adverse cardiac events were evaluated. Results:The expression of CX3CR1 in the observation group was (3.95 ± 1.05) μg/L, which was significantly higher than (2.30 ± 0.65) μg/L in the control group ( t = 2.87, P < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of the use of CX3CR1 in diagnosing coronary artery stenosis were 0.892, 75.2%, and 88.2%. The incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, heart failure, and cardiac death in the ISR group was significantly higher compared with the non-ISR group ( χ2 = 8.06, 7.17, 8.06, 7.17, all P < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis results showed that the AUC value of CX3CR1 in predicting non-fatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, heart failure, and cardiac death were 0.786, 0.895, 0.997, and 0.887, respectively. Conclusion:CX3CR1 is highly expressed in coronary artery stenosis, which can provide a reference for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of coronary artery stenosis.
