Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease that can be prevented and treated with persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation.Emphysema and small airway disease are important pathological features.Lung imaging technology can assess the patient's airway disease,and evaluate the prognosis.Chest CT examination can provide more information for early diagnosis in patients with COPD,and can objectively evaluate emphysema,small airway,pulmonary function,pulmonary blood vessels,and classify the patients into subgroup and make individual assessment of drug treatment;MRI examination can assess pulmonary microvascular blood flow (PMBF).Making full use of lung imaging examination could provide a reliable theoretical basis of the early diagnosis of COPD,disease assessment,and prognosis evaluation.This article made a review of the latest progress imaging based on the literature.

Objectives:Compare the differences between the intervention and control groups in changes of primary outcomes(body mass index[BMI]and waist-to-height ratio[WHtR])and secondary outcomes(nutrition knowledge of children and parents),from baseline to the 6-and 12-month follow-ups;examine the associations of changes in nutrition knowledge of children and their parents with children's changes in BMI and WHtR.Data sources:Data collected from four schools in two poverty-stricken counties in northern Shaanxi Province in 2020-2021.Methods:A multifaced intervention program targeted children(promoting healthy diet and nutrition education)and their parents(promoting nutrition knowledge)was conducted in the interventional group.Four schools,with two in each group,were randomly allocated to the intervention or control group,with 814 eligible children aged 7.1 to 12.8 years.The control group conducted myopia promotion.Differences in changes of BMI and WHtR between groups were compared with t-test.Mixed-effects model was used to examine the associations between changes in nutrition knowledge of children and parents with changes in children's BMI and WHtR.Results:At the 6-month follow-up,the difference in changes in BMI between the intervention and control groups was 0.4 kg/m 2(P＜0.001).At the 12-month follow-up,the difference in changes in BMI and WHtR between intervention and control groups was 0.1 kg/m2(P＜0.001)and 0.01 kg/m2(P＜0.001).In the intervention group,the nutrition knowledge awareness rate of children increased from 16.9％(69/409)at baseline to 21.3％(87/409)at 6-month,and 22.7％(93/409)at 12-month.The awareness rate of nutrition knowledge of parents also fluctuated,from 5.6％(23/409)to 6.6％(27/409)and 5.4％(22/409).However,the difference in changes in nu-trition knowledge between intervention and control groups was non-significant.The 6-month follow-up changes in children's nutrition knowledge scores were negatively associated with changes in BMI in girls(β=-0.26,95％confidence interval[CI]:-0.38 to-0.14,P＜0.001),while positively associated with changes in WHtR in boys(β=0.003,95％CI:-0.0002 to 0.005,P=0.035).The 12-month follow-up changes in children's nutrition knowledge scores were positively associated with changes in children's WHtR(β=0.003,95％CI:0.0004 to 0.01,P=0.018).Conclusions:The intervention strategies did not reduce the BMI and WHtR of children,and the nutrition knowl-edge of children and parents increased after the intervention in intervention group.Changes in nutrition knowl-edge of children and their parents are associated with changes in children's BMI or WHtR.Interventions with a new focus on obesity are needed to help improve children's nutritional status in poverty-stricken areas in Shaanxi Province of China.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the molecular characteristics associated with better prognosis in breast cancer. Methods: We performed targeted sequencing of 962 genes in 56 samples, categorizing them into long-term and short-term survival groups as well as chemotherapy-sensitive and chemotherapy-resistant groups for further analyses. Results: The results indicated that the tumor mutational burden values were significantly higher in the short-term survival and chemotherapy-resistant groups (p = 0.008 and p = 0.003, respectively). Somatic mutation analysis revealed that the mutation frequencies of BCL9L and WHSC1 were significantly lower in the long-term survival group than those in the short-term survival group (p = 0.029 and p = 0.024, respectively). CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) mutations occurred significantly more frequently in the chemotherapy-resistant group (p = 0.027) and were associated with shorter progression-free survival (p = 0.036).Signature weighting analysis showed a significant increase in Signature.3, which is associated with homologous recombination repair deficiency in the chemotherapy-sensitive group (p = 0.045). Conversely, signatures related to effective DNA repair mechanisms, Signature.1 and Signature.15, were significantly reduced (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis indicated that gene mutations were significantly enriched in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Conclusion This study, through intergroup comparative analysis, found that immunotherapy (using programmed death 1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors) may improve the prognosis of patients with short survival and chemotherapy resistance. Additionally, the study revealed that mutations in BCL9L and WHSC1 could serve as biomarkers for breast cancer prognosis, while CRTC1 mutations and Signature.3 could predict chemotherapy response. The study also found that the JAK-STAT pathway might be a potential therapeutic target for chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, this study identifies molecular characteristics that influence the prognosis of breast cancer patients, providing important theoretical insights for the development of personalized treatment strategies.

Objective: To investigate the status of nutrition and dietary behaviors and their associations in school age children in poor areas of western China, to provide clues for sustainable improvement strategies of malnutrition among primary school students in rural revitalization. Methods: A total of 1 887 school age students from 3 poverty stricken counties in Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces were investigated by physical examination and questionnaire survey during October to December in 2020. Mixed effects model was used to analyze associations between nutritional status and dietary behaviors. Results: The prevalence of stunting, wasting, overweight and obesity, and central obesity among 1 887 students were 1.8%, 6.6%, 27.7%, 24.5%, respectively, and the differences between two provinces were statistically significant ( χ 2=94.76, 46.05, 109.96, 80.50, P <0.05). The prevalence of overweight and obesity of students in Shaanxi and Sichuan were 32.8% and 4.9%, respectively. The prevalence of stunting and wasting were 0.4% and 4.7% in Shaanxi, and 8.1% and 14.7% in Sichuan, respectively. Among 1 160 students with complete dietary data, the proportions of students who ate breakfast, eggs, and milk daily were low, and eating breakfast daily was negatively associated with overweight and obesity( OR =0.26, P <0.05), and eating out and eating in canteen were positively associated with wasting( OR = 2.51, 2.82, P <0.05). Conclusion School age children in poor areas of western China are facing double burden of malnutrition, and there are significant regional differences. Future targeted interventions should be made to improve these students nutritional status.
