Patients with alcoholic cirrhosis often experience varying degrees of malnutrition， and the patients with malnutrition are more susceptible to complications such as infections and ascites， which may lead to a poor prognosis. Therefore， it is particularly important to conduct nutritional risk screening for patients in clinical practice， and appropriate nutritional assessment tools should be used to evaluate the nutritional status of patients and develop individualized nutritional supplementation regimens， thereby promoting disease recovery and improving prognosis and quality of life. This article elaborates on the specific methods for nutritional screening， assessment， and management in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and points out that systematic nutritional screening and assessment can help to identify the patients with malnutrition in the early stage and provide timely intervention. Individualized nutritional supplementation regimens should be adjusted based on the conditions of patients， so as to meet their nutritional needs， promote the recovery of liver function， improve overall health status， and enhance long-term quality of life.

Sesquiterpenes are natural terpenes containing 15 carbon atoms. They are widely used in the perfume, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries due to their remarkable biological activities. The traditional production of sesquiterpenes relies on chemical synthesis or plant extraction, which has the disadvantages of low yields and waste of resources. The construction of microbial cell factories for the efficient synthesis of sesquiterpenes by means of synthetic biology provides a new option. In recent years, with the development of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, the heterologous synthesis of a variety of sesquiterpenes has been successfully achieved by metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica. In this paper, we review the research progress in the heterologous synthesis of different sesquiterpenes by Y. lipolytica, discuss the synthetic biology strategies commonly used in this field, and make an outlook on the research directions and engineering approaches to further enhance the sesquiterpene yield in this host. This paper provides a reference for strategies such as synergistic optimization of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, enhanced precursors, and opens up new directions for the application of synthetic biology in green chemistry and sustainable production.

Objective: To examine the associations between peer bullying and parental phubbing with executive function and their combined effect among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide scientific evidence for promoting healthy development of executive function among primary and secondary school students. Methods: In November 2024, a combining convenience with clustering method was used to select 3 547 primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen City. The Chinese versions of the Delaware Bullying Victimization Scale-Student (DBVS-S), the Parental Phubbing Scale (PPS), and the Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI) were used to assess peer bullying, parental phubbing, and executive function, respectively. Generalized linear regression models were applied to analyze the associations of peer bullying and parental phubbing with executive function, and to assess their joint effects. Subgroup analyses were performed by ages and genders, and multiplicative interaction terms were used to test for interactions. Results: The score for peer bullying among primary and secondary school students was (15.27± 5.67 ), with verbal bullying, physical bullying, and relational bullying scores being (5.64±2.77) (4.70±1.62) (4.93±2.07), respectively. The score for parental phubbing was (13.98±5.00). Executive function score was (47.35±15.89), while inhibitory control and working memory scores were (26.44±9.00) (20.91±7.49), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, self reported family relationship, self reported family economic status, parental education level, both peer bullying ( β= 0.75, 95%CI =0.67-0.84), verbal bullying( β=1.41, 95%CI =1.23-1.58), physical bullying ( β=2.18, 95%CI =1.87- 2.49 ), relational bullying ( β=1.78, 95%CI =1.54-2.01) and parental phubbing ( β=0.88, 95%CI =0.79-0.98) were significantly positively associated with the degree of executive function impairment (all P <0.01). Joint effect analysis showed that, compared with the "no bullying low phubbing" group, the total executive function scores in other combined exposure groups were all higher ( β = 6.78-15.96, all P <0.01). Among them, the "bullying high phubbing" group exhibited the highest level of executive function impairment ( β=14.17, 95%CI=12.61-15.73, P <0.01). Subgroup analysis indicated significant interactions between verbal bullying and age on total executive function, inhibitory control, and working memory (all P interaction <0.01). The association of verbal bullying with executive function was slightly higher in primary and secondary school students younger than 13 years ( β=1.80, 95%CI = 1.45-2.16) than in those aged 13 years or older ( β=1.25, 95%CI =1.05-1.45) (both P <0.01). Other types of bullying and parental phone neglect showed no statistically significant interaction with age or gender in executive function, inhibitory control, and working memory(all P interaction >0.05). Conclusion Both peer bullying and parental phubbing are significantly associated with impaired executive function among primary and secondary school students, and there is a combined effect between them; among these, the association between verbal bullying and executive function impairment in younger primary and secondary school students is more pronounced.

Objective To develop an intelligent model for differential diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia(AVNRT)and atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia(AVRT)using 12-lead wearable electrocardiogram devices.Methods A total of 356 samples of 12-lead supraventricular tachycardia(SVT)electrocardiograms recorded by wearable devices were randomly divided into training and validation sets using 5-fold cross validation to establish the intelligent classification model,and 101 patients with the diagnosis of SVT undergoing electrophysiological studies and radiofrequency ablation from October,2021 to March,2023 were selected as the testing set.The changes in electrocardiogram parameters before and during induced tachycardia were compared.Based on multiscale deep neural network,an intelligent diagnosis model for classifying SVT mechanisms was constructed and validated.The 3-lead electrocardiogram signals from Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and V1 were extracted to build new classification models,whose diagnostic efficacy was compared with that of the 12-lead model.Results Of the 101 patients with SVT in the testing set,68 were diagnosed with AVNRT and 33 were diagnosed with AVRT by electrophysiological study.The pre-trained model achieved a high area under the precision-recall curve(0.9492)and F1 score(0.8195)for identifying AVNRT in the validation set.The total F1 scores of the lead Ⅱ,Ⅲ,V1,3-lead and 12-lead intelligent diagnostic models in the testing set were 0.5597,0.6061,0.3419,0.6003 and 0.6136,respectively.Compared with the 12-lead classification model,the lead-Ⅲ model had a net reclassification index improvement of-0.029(P=0.878)and an integrated discrimination index improvement of-0.005(P=0.965).Conclusion The intelligent diagnostic model based on multiscale deep neural network using wearable electrocardiogram devices has an acceptable accuracy for classifying SVT mechanisms.

Objective:To analyze the epidemic characteristics of reported tuberculosis incidence in Kashgar from 2015 to 2022, and use the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to predict the incidence, providing references for the local control of pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:The reported incidence data of tuberculosis in the Kashgar area of Xinjiang from January 2015 to August 2023 were collected through the"Infectious Disease Monitoring System", a subsystem of the "Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System". The epidemic characteristics of reported incidence in this area from 2015 to 2022 were analyzed. Two SARIMA models of monthly reported incidence number and rate were established. The prediction performance of the two models was evaluated using the reported incidence data of tuberculosis from January 2023 to August 2023. The χ2 test was used to analyze population characteristics, and the Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze annual incidence. Results:From 2015 to 2022, 133 972 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Kashgar, with a yearly reported incidence rate of 383.64/100 000, showing a rising trend ( TCA=77.03, P<0.001) and then a declining trend ( TCA=176.16, P<0.001). The proportion of pathogenic positive pulmonary tuberculosis had increased yearly ( TCA=132.66, P<0.001). The reported onset time was concentrated from January to June each year, with a peak in April. Yengisar County, Zepu County and Yopurga County had the highest reported incidence rate in Kashgar. The sex ratio of men to women was 1.03∶1, and the reported incidence rate of men was higher than that of women ( χ2=27.04, P<0.001). The reported incidence rate of the group aged 60 years and older was the highest. The patient′s occupation was mainly farmers (84.99%). The average relative errors of the SARIMA ( 1, 1, 2) ( 0, 1, 1) 12 model and SARIMA ( 0, 1, 1)( 0, 1, 1) 12 model in predicting the reported monthly incidence number and rate were 11.67% and -9.81%, respectively. Both models had good prediction accuracy (MAPE=33.55%, MAPE=38.22%). Conclusion:The average reported incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Kashgar area shows a rising trend first and then a declining trend. The patients are mainly men and farmers, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of tuberculosis among the elderly in winter and spring. The SARIMA ( 1, 1, 2) ( 0, 1, 1) 12 model and SARIMA ( 0, 1, 1)( 0, 1, 1) 12 model can fit the trend of reported tuberculosis incidence in the Kashgar area well and have good predictive performance.

Objective:To observe the effect of bone forming protein 4 (BMP4) on the proliferation and migration of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells under oxidative stress, and to preliminarily explore its effect on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of RPE cells.Methods:Human RPE cells cultured in vitro were divided into normal group, pure 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) group (4-HNE group), 4-HNE+NC group and 4-HNE+ small interfering BMP (siBMP4) group. The effect of 4-HNE on the proliferation of RPE cells was detected by thiazole blue colorimetry. The effects of 4-HNE and BMP4 on cell migration were determined by cell scratch test. The expression of BMP4 was detected by immunofluorescence staining, Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The transfection efficiency of siBMP4 was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (MitoSOX) were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of EMT markers E-cadherin and Fibronection were detected by immunofluorescence assay. t-test was used for comparison between the two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between the three groups. Results:Compared with normal group, cell proliferation and migration ability of 4-HNE group were significantly enhanced, with statistical significance ( t=21.619, 24.469; P<0.05). The expression of BMP4 in cells was significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=19.441, P<0.05). The relative expression levels of BMP4 mRNA and protein were also significantly increased, with statistical significance ( t=26.163, 37.163; P<0.05). After transfection with siBMP4 for 24 h, the transfection efficiency of BMP4 in RPE cells was>90%. Compared with 4-HNE group and 4-HNE+NC group, the relative expression levels of BMP4 protein ( F=27.241), mRNA ( F=36.943), cell mobility ( F=46.723) and MitoSOX expression levels ( F=39.721) in normal group and 4-HNE+siBMP4 group were significantly decreased. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The epithelial marker E-cadherin increased significantly, while the mesenchymal marker Fibronection decreased significantly, with statistical significance ( F= 51.722, 45.153; P<0.05). Conclusions:BMP4 inhibits RPE proliferation and migration under oxidative stress. BMP4 is involved in inducing EMT in RPE cells.
