Objective To understand the current situation of nutrition literacy of primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District of Beijing, and analyze its influencing factors, and to put forward targeted suggestions for improving the students’ nutrition literacy and promoting their healthy growth. Methods A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2480 primary and secondary school students and their parents from 5 primary schools, 3 middle schools and 1 high school in Shijingshan District. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the attainment rate of nutrition literacy. Results The median score of nutrition literacy of 2480 primary and secondary school students from grades 1 to 12 was 77.86 (in hundred-mark system), the quartile range (IQR) was 16.96, and the attainment rate of nutrition literacy was 42.46%. The cognitive level (45.12%) was higher than the skill level (41.20%) among students from grades 3 to 12. In terms of skills, the attainment rate of food preparation was the lowest, at 30.38%. The scores of nutrition literacy of girls were higher than those of boys, and the scores of primary school students were higher than those of secondary school students. Students with different levels of caregiver’s education, family income, and family food environment had different scores of nutrition literacy, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the attainment rate of nutrition literacy was closely related to student’s gender and study stage, caregiver’s education level, and family food environment. Conclusion The nutrition literacy of primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District still needs to be improved, especially in the aspect of skills. Targeted nutrition education should be carried out.

The Solomon four-group design, a critical method for improving internal validity in clinical research, can reduce bias and control the interference of Hawthorne effects and pretest sensitization on research results, which offers unique advantages in evaluating complex intervention outcomes. This paper systematically outlined the core framework and key points of statistical analysis of the Solomon four-group design, summarized its applications in clinical research at home and abroad, explored its advantages and limitations, and discussed the potential value in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical trials. It is believed that the Solomon four-group design can help distinguish between testing effects and intervention effects in TCM clinical studies, and reduce the bias in the evaluation of subjective indicators. Meanwhile, given the complexity of the Solomon four-group design and the particularity of TCM clinical research, it is proposed that future TCM clinical studies should focus on using psychological scales, know-ledge, attitude, and behavior measurements, and other similat evaluations as endpoints. It also advocates strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration to provide new methodological paths for TCM clinical research.

Objective :
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatial clustering of brucellosis in Shanxi Province from 2019 to 2023, so as to provide a reference for formulating prevention and control measures of brucellosis.
Methods:
The case data of brucellosis in Shanxi Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Surveillance System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The seasonal distribution, population distribution, and region distribution of brucellosis cases were described. Spatial autocorrelation analysis was applied to explore the spatial clustering characteristics of brucellosis.
Results:
A total of 21 241 human brucellosis cases were reported in Shanxi Province from 2019 to 2023, with an average annual reported incidence of 11.87/100 000, showing an upward trend (P<0.05). The peak incidence period was from March to August, with 14 163 cases reported cumulatively, accounting for 66.68% of the total. There were 16 336 male cases and 4 905 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.33:1. The high-incidence age group was 40-<70 years, with 15 675 cases accounting for 73.80%. The majority of patients were farmers, with 17 926 cases accounting for 84.39%. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that there was spatial clustering in the incidence of brucellosis from 2019 to 2023 (all Moran's I>0, P<0.05). The high-high clustering areas were mainly Datong City, and Shuozhou City in northern Shanxi, and Linfen City in the southern Shanxi. The low-low clustering areas were mainly Taiyuan City and Yangquan City in central Shanxi, and Changzhi City and Jincheng City in southeastern Shanxi.
Conclusions
From 2019 to 2023, the reported incidence of brucellosis in Shanxi Province showed an upward trend. The incidence peaked from March to August, and males, middle-aged and elderly people and farmers were the high-risk groups. There was spatial clustering and the high-high clustering areas gradually expanded from northern Shanxi to southern Shanxi.

In order to study the effect of antimicrobial drug reduction on the resistance of E.coli and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)and mobile genetic elements(MGEs)in the intes-tinal microbiota of dairy cows in dairy farms in Hebei Province,and to evaluate the implementation effect of antimicrobial drug reduction actions,anal swab samples and fecal samples were collected from three qualified dairy farms and two non-standard dairy farms in different regions of Hebei Province,and E.coli was isolated from the anal swab samples and tested for their resistance to 16 antimicrobial drugs,and the differences in the drug resistance rate of E.coli in the two types of dairy farms were analyzed.SYBR fluorescent dye method was used to detect ARGs and MGEs in dairy feces,their relative abundance was calculated,the differences and correlation between the two types of dairy farms were analyzed.The results showed that a total of 192 ARGs and 7 MGEs were detected in 15 samples,and the relative abundance of ARGs was the highest in β-lactam resistance genes,followed by tetracycline resistance genes.The detection of ARGs and MGEs in some stand-ard dairy farms was lower than that in non-standard farms,suggesting that the large use of antimi-crobial drugs may be related to the production and transmission of ARGs,and the number of MG-Es detected was correlated with the number of ARGs detected,and ARGs may be transmitted through horizontal gene transfer.The results showed that there was little difference in the drug re-sistance rate of E.coli from the two types of dairy farms,and multi-drug resistant strains were more likely to occur in non-standard farms.The implementation of antimicrobial reduction had a certain effect on the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes,but had no significant effect on the prevalence of E.coli drug resistance and the diversity of ARGs in dairy farms in the short term,and there was little difference between different regions,which also revealed the prevalence of anti-biotic resistance in dairy farms.

Lumbar interbody fusion is a surgical method for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. By establishing the stability of the lumbar segment, it solves the related symptoms caused by lumbar degenerative diseases. Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(MIS-TLIF) is a mature technology for treating lumbar degenerative diseases and improving the stability of the lumbar segment. In recent years, the emergence of lumbar interbody fusion under the small-channel working tube has made it have more minimally invasive characteristics compared to MIS-TLIF, with smaller incisions, less bleeding, and shorter recovery time. However, due to its long operation time, low efficiency of endplate treatment, and high complications incidence rate, it has not been widely popularized. At present, the large-channel endoscopic system, because of its larger field of view under the endoscope and more efficient endoscopic operation tools, reduces the operation time, improves the efficiency of endplate treatment, and reduces the postoperative related complications incidence rate. According to the surgical approach, it can be divided into transforaminal approach, posterior approach, oblique anterior approach, etc. According to the channel mode, it can also be divided into uniaxial endoscopy and unilateral dual-channel endoscopy, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Nowadays, the safety and effectiveness of spinal endoscopic posterior lumbar interbody fusion(Endo-PLIF) under the large-channel have achieved satisfactory results. This article reviews the research progress of Endo-PLIF under the large-channel, including surgical indications and contraindications, anatomical basis, surgical techniques, the choice of cages, the choice of fixation methods, safety and effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages, and explores its clinical application and prospects.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with a complex etiology. Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) infiltration are associated with RA severity. We have reported the deletion of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) reprograms macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype by recovering G-protein-coupled receptor signaling. However, as more GRK2-interacting proteins were discovered, the GRK2 interactome mechanisms in RA have been understudied. Thus, in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse model, we performed genetic GRK2 deletion using GRK2f/fLyz2-Cre+/- mice. Synovial inflammation and M1 polarization were improved in GRK2f/fLyz2-Cre+/- mice. Supporting experiments with RNA-seq and dual-luciferase reporter assays identified peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) as a new GRK2-interacting protein. We further confirmed that fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 (Flt-1), which promoted macrophage migration to induce angiogenesis, was inhibited by GRK2-PPARγ signaling. Mechanistically, excess GRK2 membrane recruitment in CIA MDMs reduced the activation of PPARγ ligand-binding domain and enhanced Flt-1 transcription. Furthermore, the treatment of mice with GRK2 activity inhibitor resulted in significantly diminished CIA pathology, Flt-1+ macrophages induced-synovial inflammation, and angiogenesis. Altogether, we anticipate to facilitate the elucidation of previously unappreciated details of GRK2-specific intracellular signaling. Targeting GRK2 activity is a viable strategy to inhibit MDMs infiltration, affording a distinct way to control joint inflammation and angiogenesis of RA.
