Picky eating is a term used to describe children's eating behavior and food preferences，characterized by their preference for and avoidance of certain foods or food groups. These behaviors can have long-term consequences related to nutrition and health. It should be addressed as early as possible to improve the development of picky eating in children. Therefore，it is important to understand children's picky eating deeply in order to design appropriate intervention strategies to successfully mitigate picky eating. Based on domestic and foreign research，this paper summarizes the related factors of children's picky eating，the influence of picky eating on children，the characteristics and influencing factors of picky eating，and the intervention measures and effects of picky eating，and puts forward the prevention and improvement direction of children's picky eating in the future.

Objective:To explore the implementation effects of an proactive health management model for elderly patients with multimorbidity in comprehensive hospitals based on the concept of people-centered integrated care (PCIC).Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. Elderly patients who were hospitalized in the Department of General Practice at Shanghai East Hospital Tongji University and also suffered from hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia from November 2022 to January 2024 were included, and were divided into the control group (traditional health management, n=25) and the intervention group (proactive health management, n=25) using the random number table method. A research team comprising experts in general medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, rehabilitation medicine, psychology, and other relevant specialties was formed. Based on literature analysis, clinical experience, and hospital resources, the team collaborated to develop a comprehensive, hospital-based proactive health management model for elderly patients with comorbidities based on the PCIC concept. Patients in the control group were managed using the traditional health management model. Patients in the intervention group were managed using the proactive health management model. Baseline clinical data was collected and the patients were followed up for 6 months. At the 6-month follow-up, data on blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and blood lipids were collected, as well as information on polypharmacy, activities of daily living (ADL) ability, 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, and unplanned rehospitalization were recorded. Results:A total of 50 patients were enrolled, with 25 patients in each group. The control group had an average age of (70.40±6.54) years, with 15 males(60.0%). The intervention group had an average age of (71.20±5.14) years, with 16 males(64.0%). At the 6-month follow-up, the standardization rates of blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) in both groups were higher than those in the baseline (all P<0.05).In addition, patients in the intervention group had the compliance rates for higher blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and TG than the control group (all P<0.05).At the 6-month follow-up, the 10-year ASCVD high-risk patient percentage decreased in the intervention group compared with baseline ( P=0.023) and was lower than that of the control group ( P=0.045), and the unanticipated readmission rate of patients in the intervention group was also lower than that of the control group ( P=0.042). Conclusions:A proactive health management model for elderly patients with geriatric multimorbidity in a comprehensive hospital, based on the concept of PCIC, was applied to an elderly population with concurrent hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. The results of the management were favorable.

ObjectiveTo investigate the change and potential role of Mindin protein in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B （CHB） with PEG-IFNα-2b. MethodsA total of 29 CHB patients who received the treatment with PEG-IFNα-2b in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled， and according to their clinical outcome， they were divided into cured group with 17 patients and uncured group with 12 patients. Peripheral blood samples were collected from both groups at baseline， 12 weeks， and 24 weeks to measure blood routine indices， liver function parameters， hepatitis B markers， and Mindin protein. HBsAg， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and Mindin protein at different time points were compared between the two groups. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； a Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate correlation； a multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the influence of HBsAg and ALT on the content of Mindin protein. ResultsThe analysis of baseline data showed that there were significant differences in the levels of HBsAg， HBeAb， albumin， and albumin/globulin ratio between the cured group and the uncured group （all P<0.05）. The cured group tended to have a gradual increase in the level of Mindin， and the level of Mindin at 24 weeks was significantly higher than that at baseline （P<0.05）. The cured group had a significantly higher level of Mindin protein than the uncured group at 24 weeks （P=0.019）. The cured group had a significantly lower level of HBsAg than the uncured group （P<0.05）， with a significant change from baseline to each time point within the cured group （P<0.05）. In addition， the levels of ALT and AST in the cured group tended to first increase and then decrease， and the expression levels at 12 weeks were significantly higher than those at baseline （P<0.05）. At 12 weeks， there was a strong linear correlation between Mindin protein levels and ALT in the untreated group （r=0.760 8， P<0.05）， and further multiple linear regression analysis also demonstrated a linear relationship between the two （b=1.571， P=0.019）. ConclusionThere is a significant difference in the level of Mindin protein between the cured group and the non-cured group after 24 weeks of PEG-IFNα-2b antiviral treatment， and therefore， detecting the dynamic changes of Mindin protein can better predict the treatment outcome of CHB， which provides a reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics for a child with Canavan disease.Methods:A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University on April 9, 2021 for inability to uphold his head for 2 months and increased muscle tone for one week was subjected to whole exome sequencing, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Genetic testing revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the ASPA gene, including a paternally derived c. 556_559dupGTTC (p. L187Rfs*5) and a maternally derived c.919delA (p. S307Vfs*24). Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, both variants were predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3). Conclusion:The c. 556_559dupGTTC (p.L187Rfs*5) and c. 919delA (p.S307Vfs*24) compound heterozygous variants of the ASPA gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of Canavan disease in this child.

As a potential vectored vaccine,Newcastle disease virus(NDV)has been subject to various studies for vaccine development,while relatively little research has outlined the immunomodulatory effect of the virus in antigen presentation.To elucidate the key inhibitory factor in regulating the interaction of infected dendritic cells(DCs)and T cells,DCs were pretreated with the NDV vaccine strain LaSota as an inhibitor and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)for further detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),flow cytometry,immunoblotting,and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The results revealed that NDV infection resulted in the inhibition of interleukin(IL)-12p40 in DCs through a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)-dependent manner,thus inhibiting the synthesis of IL-12p70,leading to the reduction in T cell proliferation and the secretion of interferon-γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and IL-6 induced by DCs.Consequently,downregulated cytokines accelerated the infection and viral transmission from DCs to T cells.Furthermore,several other strains of NDV also exhibited inhibitory activity.The current study reveals that NDV can modulate the intensity of the innate?adaptive immune cell crosstalk critically toward viral invasion improvement,highlighting a novel mechanism of virus-induced immunosuppression and providing new perspectives on the improvement of NDV-vectored vaccine.

Continuing medical education for general practitioners is an important measure to upgrade the quality of primary health care services in China, which is still facing various challenges and need to be further developed and improved. This article analyzes the status quo and existing problems of continuing medical education for general practitioners in China, and proposes suggestions based on the concept of people centered and integrated health care (PCIC), including faculty development, training contents, assessment methods, and experience learning, to provide references for the improvement of continuing medical education for general practitioners.

【Objective】 To understand factors associated with children′s attendance at nursery care institutions (NCIs) and the basic characteristics of the NCIs children were enrolled in, so as to provide scientific evidence for policymakers. 【Methods】 During November 2020 and January 2021, parents who visited the Department of Child Health Care in six selected maternal and children′s hospitals, as well as nearby NCIs in Zhejiang were invited to finish an online questionnaire. Information such as children′s sociodemographic characteristics, parents′ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding nursery and feeding, etc. were collected. A total of 1 756 questionnaires were collected. 【Results】 Compared to children who were not in NCIs, children enrolled in NCIs were older (94.4% of children ≥24 months vs. 30.1%, χ²=835.27), more likely to be from the local area (87.2% vs. 81.4%,χ²=12.25), more likely to have parents with a college degree (mother: 83.6% vs. 74.2%, χ²=35.29; father: 79.9% vs. 70.0%, χ²=27.01), had a higher prevalence of family annual income >200 000 CNY (49.5% vs. 28.2%, χ²=110.49), and were less likely to have their grandparents available to take care of them (16.7% vs. 26.8%, χ²=31.4) The difference all have great significant.(P<0.05). In a multivariate Logistic regression model, the older the child, the more likely they were to attend an NCI (for children aged 6 - 23 months, OR=6.70; for children aged 24 - 35 months, OR=134.03; and for children aged 36 - 42 months, OR=699.33; P<0.05). Family annual income was positively associated with children′s attendance at NCIs (for those earning 100 000 - 200 000 CNY/year, OR=1.63; for those earning 200 000 - 500 000 CNY/year, OR=2.96; and for those earning >500 000 CNY/year, OR=4.62, P<0.05). Conversely, the higher the level of grandparent involvement in daily care, the lower the attendance at NCIs (for children cared for by both parents and grandparents, OR=0.57; for those primarily cared for by grandparents, OR=0.26, P<0.05). For children who used to stay at NCIs, 82.8% stayed at institutions that only recruited children aged 0 - 3 years, 97.4% spent their whole day in NCIs, and 71.4% spent less than 3 000 CNY per month for NCI services. Additionally, over 95% of parents were satisfied with the food and care services in NCIs, as well as their children′s physical development in NCIs. However, 32.1% of NCIs were reported by parents as having no room for breastfeeding. 【Conclusions】 Children′s age, grandparent involvement in routine care, and family annual income are the main factors associated with children′s attendance at NCIs. There is a greater need for more affordable and community-based NCIs, particularly for children under 2 years old. Additionally, more attention should be paid to the quality surveillance, assessment and management of NCIs.

Objective　To explore the lethal effect of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) on the 3rd instar larvae of Aedes albopictus and the influence of environmental temperature. Methods Probit analysis bioassay was used to detect comparatively analyze the lethal effect of Bti on third instar larvae of Aedes albopictus under different environmental temperatures. The accumulated mortality rate of larvae after treatment with different Bti concentrations and corresponding P-values and concentration logarithm were used for linear regression analyses to obtain the linear regression formula, and important dose parameters such as LC50 and LC95 were calculated. Result Bti had a significant lethal effect on Aedes albopictus larvae and the drug efficacy was rapid. At a standard 28 ℃, significant larval mortality was observed 12 h after Bti treatment, and the cumulative mortality rate increased with the rise of treatment time and concentration of Bti. Linear regression formulae of the lethal effect of Bti on Aedes albopictus larvae at different time points and temperatures were obtained. The insecticidal effect was ideal between 28-32 ℃ for the same Bti concentration, and the insecticidal effect was relatively weakest in a low temperature environment of 20 ℃; the LC95 at 28 ℃ at each time point was the lowest, with LC95 values of 122.418 IU/L, 109.404 IU/L, 96.474 IU/L, and 92.229 IU/L at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h respectively. Conclusions Bti has a strong lethal effect on the third instar larvae of Aedes albopictus, environmental temperature can influence the insecticidal effect of Bti on Aedes albopictus, raising temperatures within a certain range can enhance the lethal effect; when using Bti in reality, the influence of temperature factors should be fully considered to achieve better insecticidal effect.
