This study was aimed at understanding the prevalence and drug resistance status of Salmonella of waterfowl ori-gin in the Guangdong region in the past decade,to guide prevention and control efforts.The drug-sensitive paper slide method was used to conduct drug susceptibility testing on 314 waterfowl-originating Salmonella strains isolated from 238 waterfowl farms in the Guangdong region from 2013 to 2023.The isolated Salmonella strains were most resistant to penicillin,amoxicil-lin,cefradine,and cefazolin in the β-lactam group;sulphadoxine dimethylpyrimidine in the sulphonamide group;and tetracy-cline in the tetracycline group.The resistance rates ranged from 73.57％to 89.49％.The highest sensitivity was observed to amikacin,gentamicin,and kanamycin in the aminoglycoside group,and norfloxacin in the quinolone group,with susceptibility rates all exceeding 50％.The 280 strains of Salmonella showed multi-drug resistance to six classes of antimicrobial drugs and high resistance(as much as 60.83％)to five drug classes.Correlation analysis revealed the highest correlations for florfenicol with gentamicin,and for amoxicillin with penicillin(r=0.650 for both),followed by gentamicin with kanamycin(r=0.620).Salmonella resistance in waterfowl in Guangdong Province was generally severe and showed a complex pattern of drug resist-ance.Detection of waterfowl pathogens should be strengthened to prevent the spread of drug-resistant bacteria and support ra-tional use of antibiotics.This work provides a reference for Salmonella prevention and control in waterfowl farms.

Objective To investigate the expression of FERM domain-containing protein 6(FRMD6)and claudin 9(CLDN9)in pancreatic cancer(PC)and their correlation with clinicopathological features and prog-nosis.Methods A total of 95 patients with PC admitted to the hospital from September 2019 to September 2021 were selected as the research objects,and the cancer tissues and adjacent tissues that were resected dur-ing the operation of PC patients were collected.The expressions of FRMD6 and CLDN9 were detected by im-munohistochemistry.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log Rank x2 test were used to analyze the survival of PC patients.Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of PC patients.Results Compared with adjacent tissues,the positive expression rate of FRMD6 in PC tissues was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The proportions of TNM stage Ⅲ and lymph node metastasis in patients with FRMD6 positive expression were significantly lower than those in patients with FRMD6 negative expres-sion(P＜0.05).Compared with the adjacent tissues,the positive expression rate of CLDN9 in PC tissues was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The proportion of TNM stage Ⅲ and lymph node metastasis in patients with positive expression of CLDN9 was significantly higher than that in patients with negative expression of CLDN9(P＜0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate of patients with FRMD6 positive expression(48.00％,12/25)was significantly higher than that of patients with FRMD6 negative expression(8.57％,6/70),and the difference was statistically significant(Log Rank x2=17.944,P＜0.001).The 3-year overall survival rate of patients with positive CLDN9 expression(7.35％,5/68)was significantly lower than that of patients with negative CLDN9 expression(48.15％,13/27),and the difference was statistically significant(Log Rank x2=25.159,P＜0.001).The positive expression of CLDN9,TNM stage Ⅲ,poor differentiation,and lymph node metastasis were all risk factors for the death of PC patients(P＜0.05),and the positive expression of FRMD6 was a protective factor(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of FRMD6 is low and CLDN9 is high in PC tissues.The expression of FRMD6 and CLDN9 is closely related to the clinicopathological characteristics of PC patients,and they are prognostic factors of PC patients.

BACKGROUND: The urban-rural disparities in overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are narrowing, and there is a need for long-term and updated data to explain this inequality, understand the underlying mechanisms, and identify priority groups for interventions. METHODS: We analyzed data from seven rounds of the Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health (CNSSCH) conducted from 1985 to 2019, focusing on school-age children and adolescents aged 7-18 years. Joinpoint regression was used to identify inflection points (indicating a change in the trend) in the prevalence of overweight and obesity during the study period, stratified by urban/rural areas and sex. Annual percent change (APC), average annual percent change (AAPC), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to describe changes in the prevalence of overweight and obesity. Polynomial regression models were used to predict the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in 2025 and 2030, considering urban/rural areas, sex, and age groups. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in urban boys and girls showed an inflection point of 2000, with AAPC values of 10.09% (95% CI: 7.33-12.92%, t = 7.414, P <0.001) and 8.67% (95% CI: 6.10-11.30%, t = 6.809, P <0.001), respectively. The APC for urban boys decreased from 18.31% (95% CI: 4.72-33.67%, t = 5.926, P = 0.027) to 4.01% (95% CI: 1.33-6.75%, t = 6.486, P = 0.023), while the APC for urban girls decreased from 13.88% (95% CI: 1.82-27.38%, t = 4.994, P = 0.038) to 4.72% (95% CI: 1.43-8.12%, t = 6.215, P = 0.025). However, no inflection points were observed in the best-fit models for rural boys and girls during the period 1985-2019. The prevalence of overweight and obesity for both urban and rural boys is expected to converge at 35.76% by approximately 2027. A similar pattern is observed for urban and rural girls, with a prevalence of overweight and obesity reaching 20.86% in 2025. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of overweight and obesity among Chinese children and adolescents has been steadily increasing from 1985 to 2019. A complete reversal in urban-rural prevalence is expected by 2027, with a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity in rural areas. Urgent action is needed to address health inequities and increase investments, particularly policies targeting rural children and adolescents.

Basket trial, as an innovative clinical trial design concept, marks the transformation of medical research from the traditional large-scale and single-disease treatment to the precise and individualized treatment. By gradually incorporating the Bayesian method during development, the trial design becomes more scientific and reasonable and increases its efficiency. The fundamental principle of the Bayesian method is the utilization of prior knowledge in conjunction with new observational data to dynamically update the posterior probability. This flexibility enhances the basket trial's capacity to effectively adapt to variations during the research process. Consequently, it enables researchers to dynamically adjust research strategies based on accumulated data and improve the predictive accuracy regarding treatment responses. In addition, the design concept of the basket trial aligns with the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) principle of "homotherapy for heteropathy". The principle of "homotherapy for heteropathy" emphasizes that under certain conditions, different diseases may have the same treatment. Similarly, basket trials allow using a uniform trial design across multiple diseases, offering enhanced operational and significant practical value in the realm of TCM, particularly within the context of syndrome-based disease research. By introducing basket trials, the design of TCM clinical studies will be more scientific and yield higher-quality evidence. This study systematically categorized various Bayesian methods and models utilized in basket trials, evaluated their strengths and weaknesses, and identified their appropriate application contexts, so as to offer a practical guide for designing basket trials in the realm of TCM.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects and mechanisms of Toxoplasma gondii type Ⅰ(RH strain)ROP16 protein on proliferation and the cell cycle in mouse alveolar macrophage MH-S cells.We constructed a Toxoplasma gondii type Ⅰ(RH)ROP16 overexpression lentivirus,transduced MH-S cells,and then screened cells with puromycin to obtain a cell line stably overexpressing ROP16Ⅰ.RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to verify expression effects,CCK-8 assays were used to detect cell proliferation activity,and flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle changes.Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression levels of p53,p21,CDK6,Cyclin D1,STAT3,p-STAT3(Y705),and JAK1 proteins or genes,and immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression levels of ROP16Ⅰ and p-STAT3(Y705)and their subcellular co-localization in MH-S cells.ROP16Ⅰ protein and gene expression were detected in MH-S cells transduced with lentivirus for ROP16Ⅰ overexpression.CCK-8 assays revealed that ROP16Ⅰ promoted the proliferation of MH-S cells(P＜0.01)and enhanced cell viability.Flow cytometry revealed that ROP16Ⅰ overexpression decreased the G0/G1 phase and elevated the G2 and S phases of the cell cycle in MH-S cells(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Compared with the MH-S cell group and MH-S-empty vector group,the MH-S-ROP16 cell group showed lower expression of p53 and p21 proteins;higher expression of CDK6,Cyclin D1,p-STAT3(Y705),and JAK1 proteins;lower expression of p53 and p21 mRNAs;and higher expression of CDK6 and Cyclin D1 mRNAs(all P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence revealed that ROP16Ⅰ co-localized with p-STAT3(Y705)in the nucleus and surrounding cytoplasm.Therefore,Toxoplasma gondii type Ⅰ(RH)ROP16Ⅰ protein activates the JAK-STAT3 pathway;shortens the G0/G1 phase and lengthens the G2/S phase of the cell cycle;and promotes cell proliferation.These findings provide a theoretical basis for revealing the mechanism of immune evasion of Toxoplasma gondii,and lay a foundation for research on the prevention and treatment of Toxoplasma gondii pneumonia.

Objective: To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents. Results: In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14)，and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05). Conclusions The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

Objective To investigate influencing factors for failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)in patients with respiratory and cardiac arrest.Methods A retrospective analysis was con-ducted on the clinical data of 204 patients with respiratory and cardiac arrest.All patients underwent CPR treatment and were divided into success group and failure group based on the CPR outcome.A matched case-control study based on matching design was carried out.The success and failure groups were matched at a ratio of 1 to 2 using gender,age,body mass index(BMI),and the presence or absence of hypertension,hyperlipidemia,and diabetes as covariates.Logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the influencing factors for failed CPR in patients with respiratory and cardiac ar-rest.Results Among the 204 patients,65(31.86％)had successful CPR and were included in success group,while 139(68.14％)had failed CPR and were included in failure group.After a rati-o of 1 to 2 matching design,62 patients in the success group and 124 patients in the failure group were finally included in the study.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that cardiovascular disease as the cause of respiratory and cardiac arrest,CPR performed outside the hospital,a long time interval from the onset of the condition to the initiation of CPR,and a large dose of epinephrine were independent risk factors for failed CPR(P＜0.05).In contrast,the combined use of a bag-mask de-vice and endotracheal intubation during respiratory and cardiac arrest,a prolonged duration of CPR,and electrical defibrillation were independent protective factors for successful CPR(P＜0.05).Con-clusion Cardiovascular disease,out-of-hospital CPR,a long time interval from the onset of the condi-tion to the initiation of CPR,and a large dose of epinephrine are risk factors for failed CPR in patients with respiratory and cardiac arrest.The combined use of a bag-mask device and endotracheal intubation during respiratory and cardiac arrest,prolonging the duration of CPR,and electrical defibrillation are protective factors for successful CPR.The matched case-control study method based on a matc-hing design can reduce the interference of confounding factors,ensure the reliability of the results,and provide a reliable basis for the formulation of CPR intervention protocols.
