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.

BackgroundMigraine is a common chronic neurological disease, and patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been closely associated with migraine. Current research primarily focuses on the pathological mechanism and the therapeutic effects of interventional closure, with limited attention paid to the impact of PFO on sleep quality in migraine patients. ObjectiveTo compare the difference in sleep quality between PFO-positive and PFO-negative migraine patients, and to analyzes influencing factors of sleep quality in PFO-positive migraine patients, so as to provide references for clinical interventions to improve sleep quality in PFO-positive migraine patients. MethodsA total of 673 migraine patients who met the diagnostic criteria of migraine in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, third edition (ICHD-3), and all patients underwent contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) and transthoracic echocardiographic right heart contrast echocardiography (cTTE) in the Third Hospital of Mianyang from January 2020 to October 2024. Basic demographic data were collected using a self-designed questionnaire, headache severity was assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and sleep quality was invaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PFO patients was diagnosed through c-TCD combined with c-TTE. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the influencing factors of sleep quality in PFO-positive migraine patients. ResultsA total of 673 (100.00%) migraine patients were enrolled, including 223 PFO-positive cases (33.14%) and 450 PFO-negative cases(66.86%). The PFO-positive group showed significantly more severe headache severity (χ2=15.799, P<0.01) and poorer sleep quality (χ2=14.377, P<0.01) compared with PFO-negative group. PFO-positive patients demonstrated significantly higher barrier factor scores of sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, hypnotic medication use, and daytime dysfunction compared with PFO-negative counterparts (t=3.634, 3.269, 2.785, 3.428, 2.907, 3.637, Bonferroni adjust P<0.05/7=0.007).By contrast, no significant difference was noted in sleep duration scores between the two groups(t=2.349, Bonferroni adjust P>0.05/7=0.007).The Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR=1.021, 95% CI: 1.001~1.041), headache severity (OR=6.030, 95% CI: 4.085~8.901), and PFO grade (OR=1.893,95% CI: 1.288~2.784)were significant influencing factors for sleep quality in migraine patients with PFO. ConclusionMigraine patients with PFO-positive exhibited poorer sleep quality compared wtih PFO-negative patients. Older age, higher headache servity, and more severe PFO grade are identified as risk factors for impaired sleep quality in PFO-positive migraine patients.

Radiochemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) is a common oral complication in patients with tumors following head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Erosion and ulcers are the main features of OM that seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even the progress of tumor treatment. To date, differences in clinical prevention and treatment plans for OM have been noted among doctors of various specialties, which has increased the uncertainty of treatment effects. On the basis of current research evidence, this expert consensus outlines risk factors, clinical manifestations, clinical grading, ancillary examinations, diagnostic basis, prevention and treatment strategies and efficacy indicators for OM. In addition to strategies such as basic oral care, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, anti-infective agents, pro-healing agents, and photobiotherapy recommended in previous guidelines, we also emphasize the role of traditional Chinese medicine in OM prevention and treatment. This expert consensus aims to provide references and guidance for dental physicians and oncologists in formulating strategies for OM prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, standardizing clinical practice, reducing OM occurrence, promoting healing, and improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective :
To investigate the effect of laminarin(LAM) on nonproliferative diabetes retinopathy by high throughput sequencing(RNA-seq).
Methods :
The diabetes model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ), and the effect of LAM on diabetic mice was observed.C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: Control group, Model group, and LAM group, with 8 mice in each group. After 8 weeks of modeling, the LAM group received a 4-week intraperitoneal injection of LAM treatment. Changes in blood glucose and body weight of the three groups of mice were recorded, HE staining was performed to examine retinal lesions, and RNA-seq was used to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs) in diabetic retinopathy(DR) under the action of STZ and LAM.
Results :
STZ successfully established the model of DR, and LAM reduced the blood sugar in diabetic mice to a certain extent and improved the pathological morphology of retinal structural looseness in diabetic mice. After RNA-seq analysis of DEGs, it was found that there were a total of 214 DEGs in the retina of the Model group mice compared to the Control group. Enrichment analysis revealed that DR could exacerbate the lesions through the PI3K Akt signaling pathway. There were a total of 42 DEGs in the retina of the Model group and LAM group mice, and enrichment showed that LAM improved the lesions through the neutrophil extracellular trap pathway. Early growth response factor 1(Egr1), FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene(Fos), nuclear receptor subfamily 4A member 1(Nr4a1), and salt-induced kinase 1(Sik1) were regulated by STZ, and LAM significantly regulated their expression, which might be closely related to LAM′s treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Conclusion
DEGs can exacerbate the severity of diabetic retinopathyviathe PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. LAM can mitigate diabetic retinopathyviathe neutrophil extracellular trap pathway. Egr1, Fos, Nr4a1, and Sik1 are key genes involved in LAM treatment of STZ-induced DR.

ObjectiveBased on non-targeted metabolomics, to analyze the regulation of endogenous differential metabolites in serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) rats by Fuling Yunhua granules, and to clarify the metabolic pathways through which this granules exerted its effect on improving T2DM. MethodSeventy SD rats, half male and half female, were randomly divided into the control group, model group, and high, medium, low dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules(20.70, 10.35, 5.18 g·kg-1 in raw drug amount) and the positive drug group(pioglitazone hydrochloride tablets, 8.1 mg·kg-1). Except for the control group, other groups were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ) to establish a T2DM rat model. After successful modeling, the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage, and the control group and model group were treated with an equal volume of saline by gavage, once/d, for 28 d. Fasting blood glucose(FBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(GHbA1c) levels were measured in all groups of rats during the administration period, and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes in the pancreatic tissues of rats at the end of the administration period. The endogenous metabolite levels in rat serum were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS), and the data were processed using principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA). Differential metabolites were identified by the Human Metabolome Database(HMDB) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG), and screened for differential metabolites with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1, P<0.05, and fold change(FC)<0.6 or FC>1. And the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0, then the screened differential metabolites were diagnosed and evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves. ResultCompared with the control group, the FBG level of rats in the model group increased significantly(P<0.01), the GHbA1c content tended to increase, but the difference was not statistically significant, and the pancreatic tissue of rats was obviously damaged, the number of pancreatic islets decreased, and the pancreatic β-cells were obviously reduced, atrophied and enlarged. Compared with the model group, the FBG levels of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules and the positive drug group were significantly reduced after 2 weeks of administration(P<0.05, P<0.01), the GHbA1c content of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules was significantly reduced(P<0.05), and the pancreatic tissue lesions of rats in the different dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules were reduced. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 46 differential metabolites were significantly changed in the model group compared with the blank group. Pathway enrichment analysis found that T2DM mainly affected biological processes including biosynthesis of primary bile acid, D-amino acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism in rats. Compared with the model group, the levels of 8 differential metabolites in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules were significantly adjusted, and the pathway enrichment analysis found that D-amino acid metabolism, retinol metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism and other metabolic pathways were mainly involved. ROC curves further analysis revealed that the four characteristic differential markers of 11-cis-retinol, D-piperidinic acid, D-serine, and p-cresol sulfate had high diagnostic value for the treatment of T2DM with Fuling Yunhua granules. ConclusionFuling Yunhua granules can improve the symptoms of T2DM rats by regulating the amino acid metabolic and retinol metabolic pathways through the modulation of endogenous differential metabolites.

Objective:
To investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) for treating depression and to explore the role of brevican in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in modulating stress susceptibility and the antidepressant effects of EA in rats.
Methods:
Twenty-four Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were equally divided into three groups: green fluorescent protein (GFP) + control, GFP + chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS), and short-hairpin RNA targeting on brevican (shBcan) + CUMS. Another 24 SD rats were equally divided into CUMS + GFP, CUMS + GFP + EA, and CUMS + shBcan + EA groups. Behavioral tests were conducted to assess depression-like behavior. Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the expression of brevican, aggrecan, GLuA1, and PSD95 in mPFC subregions.
Results:
Behavioral parameter evaluation show that rats in the shBcan + CUMS group exhibited a significantly reduced sucrose preference (P = .0002) and increased immobility time (P = .0011) compared to those in rats in the GFP + CUMS group. Western blotting showed that brevican expression was significantly downregulated in the PrL of the shBcan + CUMS group compared with that in the GFP + CUMS group (P = .0192). Furthermore, compared to the CUMS + GFP + EA group, the CUMS + shBcan + EA group exhibited a significantly decreased sucrose preference (P = .0334), increased immobility time (P = .0465), and increased latency to food (P = .0261). In the CUMS + shBcan + EA group, the EA-induced brevican and PSD95 overexpression was reversed, compared with that in the CUMS + GFP + EA group (P = .0454 and P = .0198, respectively).
Conclusion
EA exerts its antidepressant effects through the modulation of brevican expression in rats. Our findings highlight the important role for brevican in stress susceptibility, which could be a potential target for treating depression.

Maxillary sinus is located in the maxilla bone with the largest volume in all sinuses and is closest to the roots of maxillary posterior teeth, especially the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary second molar. The thickness of the normal maxillary sinus mucosa is about 1 mm. When stimulated or infected, it shows thickening of the mucosa. Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases in human beings, and the complex root anatomy of the maxillary molars aggravates the difficulty of inflammation control. Severe periodontitis of maxillary molars without effective treatment can affect the maxillary sinus, increasing the possibility of the mucosa thickening, and is also one of the reasons for the occurrence of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS). There are many different schemes for the treatment of OMS caused by severe periodontitis of maxillary molars. Extraction of teeth with severe periodontal disease without retention value or successful periodontal treatment can significantly reduce the thickness of maxillary sinus mucosa. For the patients with uncontrollable sinusitis by using drug treatment and eliminating odontogenic causes, or ones with severe symptoms, periodontal treatment and endoscopic sinus surgery can be combined to effectively control the periodontitis related maxillary sinusitis.

Diabetes mellitus(DM)is a disease syndrome characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia.A long-term high-glucose environment leads to reactive oxygen species(ROS)production and nuclear DNA damage.Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell(HUcMSC)infusion induces significant antidiabetic effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)rats.Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1)receptor(IGF1R)is important in promoting glucose metabolism in diabetes;however,the mechanism by which HUcMSC can treat diabetes through IGF1R and DNA damage repair remains unclear.In this study,a DM rat model was induced with high-fat diet feeding and streptozotocin(STZ)administration and rats were infused four times with HUcMSC.Blood glucose,interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-10,glomerular basement membrane,and renal function were examined.Proteins that interacted with IGF1R were determined through coimmunoprecipitation assays.The expression of IGF1R,phosphorylated checkpoint kinase 2(p-CHK2),and phosphorylated protein 53(p-p53)was examined using immunohistochemistry(IHC)and western blot analysis.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to determine the serum levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine(8-OHdG).Flow cytometry experiments were used to detect the surface markers of HUcMSC.The identification of the morphology and phenotype of HUcMSC was performed by way of oil red"O"staining and Alizarin red staining.DM rats exhibited abnormal blood glucose and IL-6/10 levels and renal function changes in the glomerular basement membrane,increased the expression of IGF1 and IGF1R.IGF1R interacted with CHK2,and the expression of p-CHK2 was significantly decreased in IGF1R-knockdown cells.When cisplatin was used to induce DNA damage,the expression of p-CHK2 was higher than that in the IGF1R-knockdown group without cisplatin treatment.HUcMSC infusion ameliorated abnormalities and preserved kidney structure and function in DM rats.The expression of IGF1,IGF1R,p-CHK2,and p-p53,and the level of 8-OHdG in the DM group increased significantly compared with those in the control group,and decreased after HUcMSC treatment.Our results suggested that IGF1R could interact with CHK2 and mediate DNA damage.HUcMSC infusion protected against kidney injury in DM rats.The underlying mechanisms may include HUcMSC-mediated enhancement of diabetes treatment via the IGF1R-CHK2-p53 signalling pathway.

Objective:To explore the longitudinal changes of symptom clusters and quality of life in young and middle-aged postoperative patients with cervical cancer during chemotherapy, and to clarify the correlation between the two, in order to provide reference for clinical staff symptom management and improvement of patients′ quality of life.Methods:A longitudinal study was conducted, a total of 252 young and middle-aged who underwent chemotherapy after radical cervical cancer surgery in the gynecological ward of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from December 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the investigation objects by convenient sampling method. Data were collected at 2 d before chemotherapy (T1), 1 week after the first chemotherapy (T2), 1 week after the third chemotherapy (T3), and 1 week after the sixth chemotherapy (T4), using the general data questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract symptom clusters from the data. The generalized estimation equation model was used to analyze the dynamic change trend and correlation between symptom clusters and quality of life.Results:A total of 221 patients with cervical cancer aged 18-59 (46.85 ± 6.50) years old were included. At T1 and T2, there were 4 symptom clusters, which were psychological symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster, disease behavior symptom cluster and perimenopausal symptom cluster. T3 and T4 increased the neurological symptom cluster and self-image disorder symptom cluster, a total of 6 symptom clusters. The higher score of each symptom cluster, the lower total score of quality of life (Wald χ2 values were 8.08-62.70, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Young and middle-aged postoperative patients with cervical cancer suffered from multiple symptom clusters during chemotherapy, which not only remained relatively stable, but also showed a constantly changing trend. Effective dynamic management of symptoms clusters in young and middle-aged postoperative patients with cervical cancer during chemotherapy is expected to improve their quality of life.
