Objective: To evaluate the comprehensive intervention effect of lunch for primary and secondary school students in Minhang District, so as to provide a theoretical and practical basis for lunch intervention in school. Methods: From October to December 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 937 students from one primary and secondary school in Minhang District.A comprehensive intervention measure focusing on "reducing oil and salt" for lunch recipe optimization and nutrition education was carried out, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the intervention effect three months later. Chi square test and Wilcoxon rank test were used to compare the data before and after the intervention. Results: After intervention, the use of cooking oil and salt, the supply of protein and fat in primary and secondary school lunches were reduced, and had no obvious impact on energy and other major nutrients. After intervention, compared to before intervention, the proportion of primary school students who felt that lunch was greasy decreased (8.9%, 6.2%, χ 2=4.35), and the proportion of primary and secondary school students who felt that lunch were delicious decreased significantly (33.2%, 23.2%; 63.9%, 53.5%, χ 2=26.39, 17.52) ( P < 0.05 ). Secondary school students also felt reduced variety of food ingredients (46.9%, 38.3%, χ 2=16.05, P <0.05). In addition, after intervention, the total surplus rate of primary school students meals decreased (7.4%, 4.4%, χ 2=5.73), mainly reflected in the decrease of the surplus rate of staple foods (7.1%, 2.4%, χ 2=17.39), while the surplus rate of vegetable dishes increased ( 16.0 %, 21.2%, χ 2=6.01) ( P <0.05). Although there was no significant change in the total surplus rate of meals for secondary school students, the surplus rate of staple foods decreased (12.9%, 5.4%, χ 2=33.52), while the surplus rates of meat and vegetable dishes increased (11.2%, 26.9%; 17.5%, 33.2%, χ 2=74.26, 61.88) ( P <0.05). After intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the overweight and obesity rates of primary school students ( χ 2=0.11,0.43) and secondary school students ( χ 2=0.01,0.00) compared to before intervention( P >0.05). After intervention, the lung capacity of primary school students [1 564 (1 269,1 890) mL] and sitting forward flexion [11.3 (7.6, 15.2) cm] increased compared to before intervention [1 522 (1 259, 1 819 ) mL, 10.5 (6.3, 13.5) cm] ( Z =2.20, 4.68, P <0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in lung capacity and sitting forward flexion of secondary school students before and after intervention ( Z =-0.46, -0.08, P >0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive intervention of school lunch has promoted a significant decrease in the use of oil and salt in lunch and improved the quality of recipes, and has a positive impact on the situation of leftover lunch and the health of students to a certain extent.

Accurate timing of myelination is crucial for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. Here, we identified a de novo heterozygous mutation in TMEM63A (c.1894G>A; p. Ala632Thr) in a 7-year-old boy exhibiting hypomyelination. A Ca²⁺ influx assay suggested that this is a loss-of-function mutation. To explore how TMEM63A deficiency causes hypomyelination, we generated Tmem63a knockout mice. Genetic deletion of TMEM63A resulted in hypomyelination at postnatal day 14 (P14) arising from impaired differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Notably, the myelin dysplasia was transient, returning to normal levels by P28. Primary cultures of Tmem63a^-/- OPCs presented delayed differentiation. Lentivirus-based expression of TMEM63A but not TMEM63A_A632T rescued the differentiation of Tmem63a^-/- OPCs in vitro and myelination in Tmem63a^-/- mice. These data thus support the conclusion that the mutation in TMEM63A is the pathogenesis of the hypomyelination in the patient. Our study further demonstrated that TMEM63A-mediated Ca²⁺ influx plays critical roles in the early development of myelin and oligodendrocyte differentiation.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by diffuse alveolar and interstitial edema caused by damage to alveolar-capillary and epithelial cells, often induced by infection, sepsis, trauma, and other factors. It is marked by progressive hypoxemia and respiratory distress. Due to the diverse causes of ARDS, the unclear pathogenesis, and the absence of effective predictive markers or biomarkers, there are no effective treatment measures available, resulting in a high mortality rate. ARDS is increasingly recognized for its heterogeneity, biomarkers, and the emergence of new opportunities for the development of diagnostic tools and personalized treatment strategies provided by omics technologies. A single omics analysis cannot fully reveal the heterogeneity and complexity of ARDS, while multi-omics analysis can provide a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of ARDS. Using clinical samples is closer to the actual disease situation compared to animal models. Multi-omics studies based on clinical samples have achieved significant progress in elucidating the pathophysiology of ARDS, identifying ARDS subtypes, and identifying biomarkers related to ARDS. This review focuses on the current applications of genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics analyses based on clinical samples in the ARDS field, with a focus on the application of these omics methods in ARDS heterogeneity, potential biomarkers, and pathogenesis. It also introduces the differences in the application of different clinical samples in ARDS omics research, in order to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of ARDS and explore new strategies for its prevention and treatment.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides continuous extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support for patients with severe heart and lung failure, in order to maintain their lives. Currently, ECMO is an advanced organ support technology and its application in the clinical field of critical care is becoming increasingly common. When ECMO is implemented via percutaneous cannulation at the bilateral femoral artery and vein, the traditional patient pants cannot be used, which leads to exposure of privacy, easy catching of cold, and easy contamination of bed sheets and covers during defecation, making the patient uncomfortable and increasing the risk of infection. Changing bed sheets and covers not only increases the workload of nurses, but also easily causes pipeline displacement or slipping. It is inconvenient to observe the patient's bleeding, displacement, or dislodgement of the pipeline at any time when wearing patient pants. To solve the problems, nursing staff in the emergency intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital have designed a protective skirt specifically designed for patients undergoing ECMO, which has obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2020 2 08120022.9). The special protective skirt for patients with ECMO mainly consists of a skirt body, a transparent observation window, a hip support part, and a fecal collection part. The transparent observation window is convenient for the puncture site and pipeline observation. After the hip support part is inflated, the patient can separate the perianal skin and urine and feces to avoid the occurrence of incontinence dermatitis. The fecal collection part can collect urine and feces to keep the bed unit clean. The protective skirt has a simple structure and is easy to wear and take off. While protecting patient privacy and ensuring patient comfort, it can also observe the condition of the pipeline at any time. It is suitable for patients with lower limb catheterization or urinary and fecal incontinence, and has certain clinical application and promotion value.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of NDUFA13 protein against acute liver injury and liver fibrosis in mice and explore the possible mechanisms.Methods BALB/C mice(7 to 8 weeks old)were divided into normal group,CCl4 group,CCl4+AAV-NC group and CCl4+AAV-NDU13 group(n=18).Mouse models of liver fibrosis were established by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 twice a week for 3,5 or 7 weeks,and the recombinant virus AAV8-TBG-NC or AAV8-TBG-NDUFA13 was injected via the tail vein 7-10 days prior to CCl4 injection.After the treatments,pathological changes in the liver of the mice were observed using HE and Masson staining.Hepatic expression levels of NDUFA13 and α-SMA were detected with Western blotting,and the coexpression of NDUFA13 and NLRP3,TNF-α and IL-1β,and α-SMA and collagen Ⅲ was analyzed with immunofluorescence assay.Results HE and Masson staining showed deranged liver architecture,necrotic hepatocytes and obvious inflammatory infiltration and collagen fiber deposition in mice with CCl4 injection(P<0.001).NDUFA13 expression markedly decreased in CCl4-treated mice(P<0.001),while a significant reduction in inflammatory aggregation and fibrosis was observed in mice with AAV-mediated NDUFA13 overexpression(P<0.001).In CCl4+AAV-NDU13 group,immunofluorescence assay revealed markedly weakened activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes(P<0.001),significantly decreased TNF-α and IL-1β secretion(P<0.001),and inhibited hepatic stellate cell activation(P<0.05)and collagen formation in the liver(P<0.001).Conclusion Mitochondrial NDUFA13 overexpression in hepatocytes protects against CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in mice by inhibiting activation of NLRP3 signaling.

Objective:To investigate the expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK), and recombinant C-Ros oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) in Spitz tumors, and to analyze their associations with clinical and histopathological features of Spitz tumors.Methods:Clinical and histopathological characteristics, as well as follow-up data, were collected from patients with Spitz tumors at Department of Pathology, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to August 2023, and retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining for ALK, pan-TRK, and ROS1 was performed on skin tissues, and associations between the expression of these kinase proteins and clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results:A total of 57 patients with Spitz tumors were collected, including 36 females and 21 males. Immunohistochemical staining showed that 30 (52.6%) patients were positive for ALK, 4 (7.0%) were positive for ROS1, only 2 (3.5%) were positive for TRK, and 21 (36.8%) were negative for the three kinase proteins. Among the 30 ALK-positive patients, the median age was 9.5 years, 21 (70.0%) were females, and 15 (50.0%) presented with lesions on the face, which mainly manifested as papules or nodules; histologically, 29 (96.7%) patients had hypopigmented tumors with an exophytic growth pattern, and the tumor cells were mainly large and long spindle cells arranged in long cord-like, plexiform or fascicular patterns. Among the 4 ROS1-positive patients, there were 3 females and 1 male, presenting with exophytic papules or polyps; histologically, tumor cells were mostly arranged in small nests, without obvious clefts around cell nests. Two TRK-positive patients were both males aged 20 and 50 years respectively, and presented with brown and skin-colored flat papules, respectively; histologically, the tumors were located superficially with a flat base, and tumor cells spread in a pagetoid pattern in the epidermis, with some epithelioid cells and small cell nests. Among the 21 patients negative for the 3 kinase proteins, 9 were males and 12 were females, and they clinically presented with macules, papules and polypoid lesions; histologically, most tumors were located superficially, consisting of a mixture of epithelioid cells and spindle cells, with rare cytological atypia and mitotic figures, and 2 cases showed mild tissue structural and cellular atypia. Fifty-seven patients were followed up for 2 - 83.3 months, with a median follow-up of 19.2 months. Only 1 ALK-positive child experienced a recurrence, and no recurrence or lymph node metastasis was observed in the other cases.Conclusions:Among the three kinase proteins, ALK showed the highest positive rate in Spitz tumors in this study, while TRK- and ROS1-positive cases were sporadic. Histopathologically, ALK-positive Spitz tumor cells were mainly long spindle cells arranged in long cord-like or plexiform patterns, while TRK- and ROS1-positive Spitz tumors tended to have small cell nests. Both the kinase protein-positive and -negative Spitz tumors mostly had a good prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the optimal angle of bedhead elevation during logrolling of patients with severe stroke supported by continuous enteral nutrition via gastric tube administration, and to provide a basis for safe infusion of enteral nutrition in clinical practice.Methods:This study was a prospective study, and the repeated measurement method was used. A total of 154 patients with severe stroke who were admitted to the Neurology Intensive Care Unit of the the 960th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army and treated with continuous enteral nutrition support from January to October 2023 were selected as the study participants by convenience sampling method. The times and duration of cardia reflux in 5 min were observed under ultrasound when the bedhead elevation angle during logrolling of the study participants was 30°, 20°, 10°, and 0°, respectively, and the incidence of reflux and aspiration during the observation period were recorded.Results:A total of 148 patients were eventually included. Among them, 81 were males and 67 were females, aged 38-80 (65.79 ± 10.96) years. There were no significant differences in the incidence of reflux [18.24% (27/148) vs. 12.16% (18/148)] and aspiration [4.05% (6/148) vs. 1.35% (2/148)] when the angle of bedhead elevation during logrolling of patients with continuous enteral nutrition via gastric tube administration was 10° and 20° (all P>0.05). Nevertheless, compared with the incidence of reflux [37.16% (55/148)] and aspiration [(10.81% (16/148)] at the bedhead elevation angle of 0°, those measured at 10° or 20° were significantly different ( χ2 values were 4.91-24.89, all P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with severe stroke supported by continuous enteral nutrition, bedhead elevation angle of 10° can not only prevent aspiration caused by gastric reflux, but also conform to the labor-saving principle during logrolling, which is the recommended angle of logrolling for patients with severe neurological diseases supported by continuous enteral nutrition.

Objective To explore the risk factors for intracranial infection in patients after neurosurgery,con-struct and validate a Nomogram prediction model.Methods Data of 978 patients who underwent neurosurgery in a hospital in Nanjing from January 1,2019 to December 31,2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Independent risk fac-tors were screened through logistic univariate and multivariate analyses.Modeling variables were screened through Lasso regression.A Nomogram model was constructed and internally validated by logistic regression.Effectiveness of the model was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve and decision curve.Results Among 978 patients underwent neurosurgery,293 had postoperative intracranial infection,with an inci-dence of healthcare-associated infection of 29.96％.There was no significant difference in age,gender,proportion of coronary heart disease,cerebral infarction,diabetes and hypertension between the infected group and the non-in-fected group(all P＞0.05).Multivariate logistic analysis showed that postoperative intracranial hypertension,fe-ver,increased neutrophil percentage in blood routine examination,turbid cerebrospinal fluid,positive Pan's test,decreased glucose concentration,abnormal ratio of cerebrospinal fluid/serum glucose,positive microbial culture,absence of indwelling external ventricular drainage tubes,presence of indwelling lumbar cistern drainage tubes,use of immunosuppressive agents,and long duration of surgery were independent risk factors for postoperative intracra-nial infection in patients who underwent neurosurgery(all P＜0.05).Fifteen variables were screened out through Lasso regression.Fourteen variables were finally included for modeling after collinear screening,missing data impu-tation(random forest method)and checking pairwise interaction items.A Nomogram prediction model was con-structed,with the area under ROC curve,sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of 0.885,0.578,0.896,and 0.704,respectively.Internal validation of the model was conducted.The modeling and validation groups presented similar effects.The calibration curve and decision curve also indicated that the model had good predictive efficacy.Conclusion The constructed Nomogram prediction model for postoperative intracranial infection after neurosurgery is scientific,and the prediction indicators are easy to obtain.The model presents with high stability,reliability,and application value,thus can provide reference for the assessment of postoperative intracranial infection after neuro-surgery.
