Objective: To explore the association between daytime outdoor physical activity (OPA) and oral health indicators among primary school students, aiming to provide evidence for developing oral health intervention strategies based on natural exposure. Methods: In October 2023, based on the "Tianchang Children s Light Exposure and Growth Development Cohort", 799 second and third grades children were recruited from two primary schools in Tianchang, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. Physical activity intensity and light exposure were objectively monitored for 24 hours over 5 consecutive days using triaxial accelerometers synchronized with portable illuminance meters. Standardized oral examinations were performed to record dental caries, gingivitis, and malocclusion. Demographics, lifestyle variables, and household socioeconomic data were collected via questionnaires. Multiple linear regression (for the number of carious teeth) and Logistic regression (for gingivitis risk) were used to analyze the relationship between daytime outdoor moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and oral health outcomes. Results: The average daytime outdoor MVPA was (0.76±0.35)h, with (0.95±0.40)h on weekdays and (0.49±0.47)h on weekends. The detection rates for dental caries, gingivitis, and malocclusion were 31.0%, 4.6%, and 59.7%, respectively. Compared with children with good oral health, the duration of outdoor MVPA on school days was reduced in children with caries or gingivitis ( Z =-11.4, -5.01, both P <0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, body mass index, oral hygiene behaviors, an increase in daytime outdoor MVPA duration was associated with a decrease in the number of dental caries ( β=-0.64, 95%CI =-0.93 to -0.35) and a reduced risk of gingivitis ( OR= 0.58 , 95%CI =0.34-0.98) in primary school students (both P <0.05). The association was primarily observed on school days ( β=-0.72, 95%CI = -1.07 to -0.37; OR=0.42, 95%CI =0.21-0.85) (both P < 0.05). Conclusions Daytime outdoor MVPA on weekdays is significantly associated with a lower number of carious teeth and a reduced risk of gingivitis in primary school students. Increasing daytime outdoor activities on weekdays may serve as a promising and potential strategy for promoting children s oral health.

ObjectiveTo construct a machine learning model combining two-dimensional shear wave elastography （2D-SWE） and serological markers， and to investigate its clinical value in differentiating primary biliary cholangitis （PBC） from overlap syndrome （OS）. MethodsA total of 199 patients with pathologically confirmed PBC or OS in Nantong Third People’s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2025 were retrospectively enrolled， with 125 patients in the PBC group and 74 in the OS group. The patients were randomly divided into a training set with 139 patients and a test set with 60 patients at a ratio of 7∶3. Related data were collected， including serological markers， conventional two-dimensional ultrasound parameters， and 2D-SWE parameters （including velocity of shear wave ［VS］ and liver fibrosis index ［LFI］）. 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； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictive factors， which were then incorporated into six machine learning models， and 5-fold cross-validation was used for optimization of parameters. The indicators including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） were compared in the test set to determine the best model， and the SHapley additive exPlanations （SHAP） analysis was used for model interpretation. ResultsFemale patients accounted for 87.8% in the OS group and 79.2% in the PBC group. Compared with the PBC group， the OS group had significantly higher age， VS， LFI， splenic area， aspartate aminotransferase， total bilirubin， prothrombin time， immunoglobulin G （IgG）， and immunoglobulin M （Z=-2.883， -6.524， -4.000， -3.061， -2.194， -2.372， -4.079， -6.964， and -2.709， all P<0.05） and a significantly lower platelet count （Z=4.098， P<0.001）， and there were also significant differences between the two groups in the proportion of patients with positive anti-nuclear antibody， fibrosis stage， and inflammation grade （χ²=3.458， 63.198， and 101.038， all P<0.05）. Variables without multicollinearity were included in the regression analysis， and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that VS （odds ratio ［OR］=4.503， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.698 — 11.943， P=0.003）， LFI （OR=1.813， 95%CI： 1.050 — 3.132， P=0.033）， and IgG （OR=1.121， 95%CI： 1.026 — 1.226， P=0.012） were independent predictive factors for differentiating PBC from OS. Six machine learning models were constructed based on these variables， among which the logistic regression model showed the best predictive performance in the test set， with an AUC of 0.881 （95%CI： 0.788 — 0.974）， a sensitivity of 0.731， and a specificity of 0.794. The SHAP analysis showed that IgG contributed the most to model prediction. ConclusionThe noninvasive multimodal machine learning model combining 2D-SWE parameters （VS， LFI） and serum IgG can effectively differentiate PBC from OS， providing a reference for clinical decision-making regarding the need for liver biopsy.

Parkinson's disease(PD),the second most common neurodegenerative disorder,involves dopaminergic neuron degeneration,abnormal α-synuclein aggregation,and energy metabolic disruption.AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK),a key cellular energy metabolic regulator,has multiple roles in PD progression.This paper explores the structure and function of AMPK and its regulatory mechanisms in PD,including its roles in modulating neuronal energy metabolism,mediating mitochondrial function,inhibiting oxidative stress,inducing autophagy,and regulating neuroinflammation and apoptosis.Potential AMPK-based PD therapies are also reviewed,including natural products(e.g.,resveratrol,curcumin),gene therapy,and targeted delivery systems,while noting the need to precisely control the dual effects of AMPK(e.g.,overactivation causes energy stress).Future research should focus on clarifying interactions between AMPK and other pathways(e.g.,SIRT1 and NF-κB)and improving the spatiotemporal specificity of targeted treatments for clinical translation.This study offers crucial theoretical support for understanding mechanisms underlying PD and developing AMPK-targeted therapies.

Objective:To investigate the impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy on the safety and efficacy of radical resection in patients with cT3-4NxM0 gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study method was used. The clinicopathological data of 515 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy after neoadjuvant treatment at Second Department of Gastric Surgery,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Department of Gastric Surgery,Zhangzhou Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023 were collected. Among them,379 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone(chemotherapy group),and 136 patients received neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy(immunotherapy group). There were 382 males and 133 females,with an age of (58.4±10.9)years(range:26 to 85 years). To reduce the influence of potential confounding factors,a 1∶1 propensity score matching method was adopted,and the clamp value was 0.02. The peri-operative safety,imaging and postoperative pathological tumor regression,and prognosis were compared by independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves, and the differences between groups were compared by Log-rank test. Results:After matching, there were 101 patients in each of the chemotherapy group and the immunotherapy group. The baseline data of the patients in the two groups were evenly distributed (all P>0.05). According to the RECIST 1.1 criteria, the complete response rate (11.9% (12/101) vs. 4.0% (4/101)), partial response rate(68.3%(69/101) vs. 53.4%(54/101)), stable disease rate (17.8%(18/101) vs. 39.6%(40/101)) and disease progression rate (2.0%(2/101) vs. 3.0%(3/101)) between the immunotherapy group and the chemotherapy group were no statistical defferences ( χ2=14.374, P=0.002), and objective response rate (80.2%(81/101) vs. 57.4%(58/101), χ2=12.203, P<0.01) in the immunotherapy group was higher than that in the chemotherapy group. The results of postoperative pathological examination showed that the immunotherapy group had a higher complete response rate (16.8%(17/101) vs. 6.9% (7/101), χ2=4.728, P=0.030) and major pathological response rate (42.6%(43/101) vs. 23.8% (24/101), χ2=8.062, P=0.005). For the two groups, the operation time (175.0(76.0)minutes vs. 160.0 (30.0)minutes, Z=-0.059, P=0.953), intraoperative blood loss (110.0 (150.0)ml vs. 100.0 (120.0)ml, Z=-0.370, P=0.712), overall incidence of postoperative complications (20.8%(21/101) vs. 18.8%(19/101), χ2=0.125, P=0.724) and incidence of severe complications (5.0%(5/101) vs. 3.0%(3/101), χ2=0.130, P=0.718) were comparable. The median follow-up time of all patients was 46 months(range: 19 to 61 months). The 3-year overall survival rate (63.2% vs. 54.4%, P=0.035) and progression-free survival rate (59.1% vs. 45.6%, P=0.022) of the immunotherapy group were higher than those of the chemotherapy group. Meanwhile, there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of neoadjuvant-treatment-related adverse events (48.5%(49/101) vs. 40.6% (41/101), χ2=1.283, P=0.411) and the incidence of severe adverse reactions of grade 3 or above (13.9% (14/101) vs. 10.9% (11/101), χ2=0.257, P=0.522) between the two groups. Conclusion:Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the imaging and postoperative pathological tumor response rates and 3-year survival rate of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer,without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications and neoadjuvant treatment-related adverse event.

Objective:To compare the effects of standard cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia(CBT-I Plus) in patients with chronic insomnia disorder comorbid anxiety or depressive symptoms.Methods:This prospective study included 148 patients with chronic insomnia disorder and anxiety/depression symptoms who were treated at the Sleep Disorder clinic of Shanghai Mental Health Center between July 2020 and August 2023. Participants (56 males, 92 females; aged 18-65 years, mean age 35.08±10.30 years) were randomly assigned in a 1∶2 ratio to the CBT-I group ( n=54) or CBT-I Plus group ( n=94). The CBT-I Plus group received additional treatments targeting anxiety and depressive symptoms. Treatment lasted 8 weeks, with assessment conducted at baseline, weeks 2, 4, and 8. Depression severity was measured using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD 17), anxiety severity with the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Paired sample t-tests were used to evaluate within-group changes, repeated-measures ANOVA compared treatment effects between groups, and ANCOVA was employed to adjust for confounding variables. Results:Significant reductions in PSQI, HAMD 17, and HAMA scores were observed in both groups after treatment: CBT-I group: PSQI ((14.15±2.54) vs. (7.50±3.35), t=13.25), HAMD 17 ((14.70±4.09) vs. (7.40±4.61), t=9.33), and HAMA ((14.94±4.11) vs. (5.56±3.67), t=12.38) (all P<0.001).CBT-I Plus group: PSQI ((14.87±3.01) vs. (7.19±3.86), t=18.75), HAMD 17 ((16.84±3.91) vs. (6.84±4.79), t=17.42), and HAMA ((15.57±3.93) vs. (6.10±4.57), t=18.39) (all P<0.001). After adjusting for HAMD 17 scores and medication use, no statistically significant between-group differences were observed in changes in PSQI, HAMD 17, and HAMA scores ( P>0.05). A significant time-by-group interaction was found for the PSQI daytime dysfunction subscale ( F=4.87, P<0.01). Conclusion:Both CBT-I and CBT-I Plus improve sleep and emotional symptoms in patients with chronic insomnia disorder and comorbid anxiety/depression symptoms. However, CBT-I Plus has no significant advantages over standard CBT-I. Further studies are needed to refine the timing and content of interventions.

Objective To investigate the development of the"One-Body-Two-Wings"nursing safety management model with the support of information technology,in order to enhance nursing quality and ensure patient safety.Methods A pre-post controlled design was used in this study.The cardiology department that implemented the traditional nursing management mode from September to November 2022 was used as the control group,while the cardiology department which implemented the"One-Body-Two-Wings"nursing safety management model from January to March 2023 served as the experimental group.Comparisons were made between the two different nursing management models regarding the incidence rate of adverse events per 100 discharged patients in the cardiology department,nursing quality supervision scores,and nurses' perceived intensity of decent work.Results After the implementation of"One-Body-Two-Wings"nursing safety management model,the incidence of adverse events per 100 discharged patients in the department of cardiology decreased from 3.70％to 0.64％,and nursing quality improved steadily(P＜0.01).The total scores of nurses' perceived decent work and the scores in dimensions such as work rewards,job positions,career advancement,and workplace environment were significantly higher after implementation compared to before(P＜0.01).Conclusion The""One-Body-Two-Wings"nursing safety management model demonstrates significant efficacy in reducing adverse event rates,enhancing nursing quality,ensuring patient safety,and improving nurses' perceived decent work.It is worthy of promotion.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with aging,characterized by neurofibrillary tangles,accumulation of amyloid-β(Aβ)plaques,and neuronal death.These pathological changes lead to a gradual decline in cognitive function,ultimately impairing the ability to perform daily activities.Currently,treatment options for AD are limited,with pharmacological interventions often being ineffective and frequently accompanied by side effects.Therefore,the study of non-pharmacological therapies,especially nutritional interventions,has become particularly important.Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(ω-3PUFAs)are essential fatty acids crucial for health,primarily found in fish oil and certain plant oils.They play a key role in anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,neuroprotective,and immunomodulatory activities.Epidemiological evidence and clinical trials have shown that supplementation with ω-3PUFAs is associated with improved cognitive function,with particularly positive effects demonstrated in the use of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA)and eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA).This article reviews the role of ω-3PUFAs in AD and the latest advances in their mechanism of action,with a particular focus on their ability to reduce brain Aβ deposition and Tau protein phosphorylation,inhibit oxidative stress and neuroinflammation,maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier,and regulate energy metabolism.However,current research findings remain inconsistent,especially regarding the significant differences in effects among individuals with different genotypes.Therefore,future studies need to further explore the role of ω-3PUFAs in early intervention and optimize their dosage and formulations to achieve the best neuroprotective effects.Additionally,this article provides dietary recommendations and dosage suggestions based on existing research,hoping to offer new directions for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Abstract The association of childhood sleep disorders and common oral diseases are increasingly recognized as public health challenges. The paper reviews epidemiological evidence on the bidirectional associations between multidimensional sleep indicators-including insufficient sleep duration,sleep related disorders (sleep apnea and bruxism) and evening chronotype and common oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, and craniofacial developmental anomalies. It also explores potential neurobiological mechanisms underlying these associations. The review proposes that future research should employ longitudinal cohort studies and multi omics technologies to further validate prospective causal relationships, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing childhood health interventions.
