Objective: To investigate the status quo and associated factors of drinking water knowledge, attitude and behavior among primary school students in rural areas, so as to provide evidence for health behavioral intervention of drinking water in primary school. Methods: Twentythree primary schools in rural area from Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Shanxi provinces were selected by using purposive sampling method from March 1 to April 27 in 2023. Selfdesigned questionnaires regarding knowledge, attitude and behavior of drinking water were distributed to all students in grade 3-6, and 2 173 valid questionnaires were obtained. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of drinking water knowledge, attitude and behavior of primary school students. Results: The attainment rates of drinking water knowledge, attitude and behavior level were 20.02%, 26.65%, and 31.20%, respectively, among primary school students. The median of daily water intake was 1 000 mL, and the average daily water intake was (1 172.99±771.89)mL. In addition, 66.31% of students water intake reached the minimum standard of 800 mL recommended. The results of multiple Logistic regression indicated that drinking water accessibility in school, health education of drinking water, and individual selfcontrol ability were positively correlated with the knowledge (OR=1.31, 1.57, 1.58), attitude (OR=2.07, 1.65, 1.73), behavior (OR=1.40, 1.49, 1.91) of drinking water and daily water intake (OR=1.41, 1.38, 1.20) (P<0.05). Conclusions Primary school students in rural areas are generally lack of appropriate health awareness on drinking water including knowledge, attitude and behavior. Schools should take targeted measures to focus on the cultivation of students selfcontrol ability, so as to improve students knowledge and attitudes of drinking water, and furthermore help students shape their healthy behaviors of drinking water.

Environmental toxicants have been linked to aging and age-related diseases. The emerging evidence has shown that the enhancement of detoxification gene expression is a common transcriptome marker of long-lived mice, Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans. Meanwhile, the resistance to toxicants was increased in long-lived animals. Here, we show that farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist obeticholic acid (OCA), a marketed drug for the treatment of cholestasis, may extend the lifespan and healthspan both in C. elegans and chemical-induced early senescent mice. Furthermore, OCA increased the resistance of worms to toxicants and activated the expression of detoxification genes in both mice and C. elegans. The longevity effects of OCA were attenuated in Fxr ^-/- mice and Fxr homologous nhr-8 and daf-12 mutant C. elegans. In addition, metabolome analysis revealed that OCA increased the endogenous agonist levels of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), a major nuclear receptor for detoxification regulation, in the liver of mice. Together, our findings suggest that OCA has the potential to lengthen lifespan and healthspan by activating nuclear receptor-mediated detoxification functions, thus, targeting FXR may offer to promote longevity.

Among tumor microenvironment (TME), the entire metabolic characteristics of tumor-resident cells are reprogrammed to benefit the expansion of tumor cells, which count on glutamine in large part to fuel the tricarboxylic acid cycle for energy generation and anabolic metabolism support. Endothelial cells that are abducted by tumor cells to form a pathological tumor vascular network for constructing the hypoxic immunosuppressive TME, also rely on glutaminolysis as the "engine" of angiogenesis. Additionally, the glutamine metabolic preference benefits the polarization of TAMs towards pro-tumoral M2 phenotype as well. Herein, we developed a type of siRNA micelleplexes (MH@siGLS1) to reverse immunosuppressive TME by targeting glutaminolysis within tumor-resident cells for tumor vasculature normalization- and TAMs repolarization-enhanced photo-immunotherapy. Tumor cell starvation and antioxidant system destruction achieved by MH@siGLS1-mediated glutaminolysis inhibition could promote photodynamic therapy efficacy, which was available to trigger immunogenic cell death for adaptive antitumor immune responses. Meanwhile, glutaminolysis inhibition of tumor endothelial cells and TAMs could realize tumor vascular normalization and TAMs repolarization for antitumor immunity amplification. This study provides a unique perspective on cancer treatments by focusing on the interrelations of metabolic characteristics and the biofunctions of various cell types within TME.

OBJECTIVES: To construct an intelligent analysis model for classifying fetal orientation during intrapartum ultrasound videos based on multi-feature fusion. METHODS: The proposed model consists of the Input, Backbone Network and Classification Head modules. The Input module carries out data augmentation to improve the sample quality and generalization ability of the model. The Backbone Network was responsible for feature extraction based on Yolov8 combined with CBAM, ECA, PSA attention mechanism and AIFI feature interaction module. The Classification Head consists of a convolutional layer and a softmax function to output the final probability value of each class. The images of the key structures (the eyes, face, head, thalamus, and spine) were annotated with frames by physicians for model training to improve the classification accuracy of the anterior occipital, posterior occipital, and transverse occipital orientations. RESULTS: The experimental results showed that the proposed model had excellent performance in the tire orientation classification task with the classification accuracy reaching 0.984, an area under the PR curve (average accuracy) of 0.993, and area under the ROC curve of 0.984, and a kappa consistency test score of 0.974. The prediction results by the deep learning model were highly consistent with the actual classification results. CONCLUSIONS The multi-feature fusion model proposed in this study can efficiently and accurately classify fetal orientation in intrapartum ultrasound videos.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement is one of the most significant subtypes of temporomandibular joint disorders, but its etiology and mechanism are poorly understood. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms by which destruction of inflamed collagen fibrils induces alterations in the mechanical properties and positioning of the TMJ disc. By constructing a rat model of TMJ arthritis, we observed anteriorly dislocated TMJ discs with aggravated deformity in vivo from five weeks to six months after a local injection of Freund's complete adjuvant. By mimicking inflammatory conditions with interleukin-1 beta in vitro, we observed enhanced expression of collagen-synthesis markers in primary TMJ disc cells cultured in a conventional two-dimensional environment. In contrast, three-dimensional (3D)-cultivated disc cell sheets demonstrated the disordered assembly of inflamed collagen fibrils, inappropriate arrangement, and decreased Young's modulus. Mechanistically, inflammation-related activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway occurs during the progression of TMJ arthritis. NF-κB inhibition reduced the collagen fibril destruction in the inflamed disc cell sheets in vitro, and early NF-κB blockade alleviated collagen degeneration and dislocation of the TMJ discs in vivo. Therefore, the NF-κB pathway participates in the collagen remodeling in inflamed TMJ discs, offering a potential therapeutic target for disc displacement.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for renal tumors, guided by both ultrasound and CT, under local anesthesia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 40 patients with renal tumors admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022. This treatment involved ultrasound/CT dual-guided radiofrequency ablation under local anesthesia. The cohort included 33 males and 7 females, with an average age of (61.5±11.9) years old and a body mass index (BMI) of (24.79±3.37) kg/m 2. The tumors were located in the left kidney in 20 cases and the right kidney in 16 cases, with 4 cases involving bilateral renal tumors. There were 44 tumors in 40 patients, with the maximum tumor diameter ranging from 1.0 to 4.0 cm [mean (2.3 ± 0.7) cm]. Distribution by kidney pole was as follows: 15 cases at the upper pole, 21 at the middle pole, and 8 at the lower pole. Of the tumors, 23 were exophytic, 5 were endophytic, and 16 exhibited mixed features. There were 2 patients with multiple metastases before surgery(including 1 patient with bilateral renal tumor). Preoperative serum creatinine level was 68.0(56.5, 87.5)μmol/L, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 114.2 (79.6, 132.4) ml/(min·1.73 m 2). All patients underwent renal biopsy before or during radiofrequency ablation. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation surgery was performed using ultrasound and CT dual guidance on all patients, ensuring complete tumor destruction during the procedure as confirmed by dual positioning. Patients with bilateral tumors underwent two separate surgeries, spaced one month apart. Postoperatively, closely monitor the patient's vital signs and conduct long-term follow-ups to record any recurrence and metastasis. Results:In this series, all 40 procedures (involving 44 renal units) were successfully completed under local anesthesia without any need for blood transfusion, conversion to open surgery, or perioperative deaths. The average radiofrequency ablation time was (9.5 ± 3.6) min. Tumor characteristics included predominantly exophytic growths (23 cases, 52.3%), with 31 cases (70.5%) located more than 7 mm from the collecting system and 28 cases (63.6%) positioned posteriorly. Thirteen cases (29.5%) were entirely outside the polar line. The average R. E.N.A.L. nephrometry score was 6.1±0.2. Pathological examination revealed 34 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 2 of papillary renal cell carcinoma, 4 of unclassified renal cell carcinoma, and 4 benign renal tumors. In this cohort, two patients with bilateral renal tumors exhibited benign tumors on one side, while two other patients had malignant tumors in both kidneys. All 40 malignant tumors identified in 38 cases were classified at stage cT 1a.Postoperative serum creatinine level was 71.5 (59.0, 94.3) μmol/L, showing no statistically significant change from preoperative levels ( P > 0.05). Similarly, the eGFR post-operation was 107.4 (79.7, 132.2) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), which also did not differ significantly from preoperative values ( P > 0.05). There were no postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥Ⅱ, except for one case of severe pain (score 7-10). The follow-up period ranged from 15 to 70 months. Among the 38 cases, 36 patients did not have distant metastasis before surgery. There were 2 patients (5.5%) with local recurrence within 60 months after surgery. Among them, one case relapsed 6 months after radiofrequency ablation and was treated with partial nephrectomy. The patient was followed up for 60 months after the second treatment, and no local recurrence occurred. Another patient relapsed 41 months after surgery and was treated with radiofrequency ablation again. The patient was followed up for 12 months after the second treatment, and no local recurrence occurred. Two patients with distant metastasis before surgery were treated with targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for 12 months after surgery. One case had local recurrence 8 months after surgery and was treated with partial nephrectomy. The patient was followed up for 60 months after partial nephrectomy and no local recurrence occurred. Another patient with bilateral renal tumors developed left kidney recurrence 34 months after radiofrequency ablation, and underwent left partial nephrectomy. The right kidney recurred 42 months after radiofrequency ablation and underwent radiofrequency ablation again. After the second right renal radiofrequency ablation, no local recurrence occurred during 12 months of follow-up. Conclusions:Ultrasound/CT dual-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, performed under local anesthesia for treating renal tumors, has minimal impact on the patient's renal function. The procedure boasts a low complication rate, with no postoperative severe complications. Additionally, the postoperative tumor control is effective, making it a safe and minimally invasive surgical option.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).
