Objective: To identify research priorities on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a theoretical base for improving their physical and mental health. Methods: In May 2025, 77 experts in the fields of health and education from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method to participate in the first round of expert consultation. In June, 2025, snowball sampling was used to expand to 194 experts for the second round of consultation, and it was convenient to select 21 students from primary schools to high schools in Zhejiang Province and 29 parents to empower the evaluation criteria. It applied the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method in a structured process, which encompassed the definition of the research field, generation of research ideas, scoring, and quantitative ranking of priorities. Research ideas were evaluated against 6 predefined criteria: effectiveness, safety, answerability, feasibility, sustainability, and scientific significance. Results: After 2 rounds of structured consultations, 81 research ideas on physical and mental comorbidity among children and adolescents were established and classified into 7 subthemes: epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors, optimization of primary service systems and policies, comprehensive intervention strategies for physical and mental comorbidity, biological mechanisms and clinical research, the impact of education and environment on physical and mental health, special populations and social support, and digital and technology driven disease prevention and intervention. The top 10 research priorities primarily centered on the subdomain of "epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors" (5 items). The top 3 research priorities were "the association between outdoor activity duration and the incidence of common diseases (including mental disorders) among children and adolescents" "the impact of outdoor activity duration on the physical and mental health of adolescents" "comprehensive intervention strategies for myopia, obesity, and their comorbidities among children and adolescents". Conclusion The framework of priority issues in the field of psychosomatic comorbidity of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province based on CHNRI method provides a reference for optimizing the allocation of provincial research resources.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of modified use of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction plus Xijiao Dihuang Decoction in the treatment of patients with psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome and to observe its effect on Th1/Th2 balance in the patients.Methods The investigation was carried out in a total of 130 patients with psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome,who were admitted to the dermatology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine between January 2022 and June 2023.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method,with 65 patients in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,while the observation group was treated with modification of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction plus Xijiao Dihuang Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.Both groups were treated for four consecutive weeks and were followed up for one year.The changes in the scores of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(PASI)and Dermatology Life Quality Index(DLQI),levels of peripheral blood Th1/Th2 balance indicators,and levels of peripheral Th1/Th2-related factors such as γ-interferon(INF-γ),interleukin 2(IL-2),and interleukin 4(IL-4)in the two groups of patients before and after treatment were observed.Moreover,the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions during treatment were evaluated,and the recurrent cases within one year in the two groups were counted.Results(1)After four weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 90.77%(59/65),and that of the control group was 76.92%(50/65).The intergroup comparison showed that the clinical efficacy of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the scores of PASI and DLQI in the two groups of patients were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of PASI and DLQI scores in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).(3)After treatment,the serum levels of Th1/Th2-related factors such as INF-γ and IL-2 in the two groups of patients were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and IL-4 level was increased when compared with that before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of serum INF-γ and IL-2 levels and the increase of serum IL-4 level in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(4)After treatment,the peripheral blood levels of Th1/Th2 balance indicators of Th1,Th2 and Th1/Th2 in the two groups of patients were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of peripheral blood Th1,Th2 and Th1/Th2 levels in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).(5)The recurrence rate of the observation group was 20.69%(12/58)and that of the control group was 38.33%(23/60),and the recurrence time in the observation group was(8.49±1.43)months and that of the control group was(5.36±0.95)months.The intergroup comparison showed that the one-year recurrence rate of the observation group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group(P<0.05),and the recurrence time was significantly prolonged compared with that of the control group(P<0.05).(6)The medicine-induced adverse reaction rate in the observation group was 10.77%(7/65)and that in the control group was 12.31%(8/65),and the intergroup comparison showed that the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Modified use of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction plus Xijiao Dihuang Decoction is effective on enhancing the clinical efficacy of patients with psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome,and on improving the balance of Th1/Th2 and the severity of the disease,delaying the recurrence of psoriasis vulgaris,and reducing the recurrence rate,with high safety.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the association between novel coronavirus (“SARS-CoV-2”) infection and clinical symptoms in inpatients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, so as to provide evidence for improving clinical diagnostic ability. MethodsFrom January 13 to March 2, 2023, respiratory tract specimens of 456 inpatients with SARI were collected from 8 sentinel institutions, SARS-CoV-2 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Whole genome sequencing and sequence analyses were performed to samples with a cycle threshold (Ct) value of <35. At the same time, demographic information, clinical characteristics and underlying disease condition of the cases were collected, and the association between age, symptoms and nucleic acid positive rates was evaluated by χ² test and Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsA total of 456 cases were included, the median (P₂₅, P₇₅) age was 70 (69, 85) years old, of which 200 cases were novel coronavirus nucleic acid positive for SARS-CoV-2, with a positive rate of 43.86%. The positive rate was the highest in the 80-year-old group (56.82%), and the positive rate increased significantly with age (r=0.15, P=0.002). The proportion of oppression in chest, sore throat and expectoration in novel coronavirus nucleic acid positive cases was significantly higher than that in negative cases (all P<0.05). The 33 viruses sequenced successfully were all Omicron subvariants, with BF.7 (51.52%) and BA.5.2 (42.42%) being the predominant ones. ConclusionA positive correlation was observed between advanced age and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 positivity in patients with SARI. The symptoms of expectoration, oppression in chest and sore throat are more common in positive cases, which can be used as a prompt indicator for key screening and clinical identification of elderly SARI cases.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between changes in intestinal toxicity and compositional alterations of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix(commonly known as Langdu) before and after milk processing, and to explore the detoxification mechanism of milk processing. Mice were intragastrically administered the 95% ethanol extract of raw Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, milk-decocted(milk-processed), and water-decocted(water-processed) Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. Fecal morphology, fecal water content, and the release levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in different intestinal segments were used as indicators to evaluate the effects of different processing methods on the cathartic effect and intestinal inflammatory toxicity of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. LC-MS/MS was employed to analyze the small-molecule components in the raw product, the 95% ethanol extract of the milk-processed product, and the milky waste(precipitate) formed during milk processing, to assess the impact of milk processing on the chemical composition of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. The results showed that compared with the blank group, both the raw and water-processed Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix significantly increased the fecal morphology score, fecal water content, and the release levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in various intestinal segments(P<0.05). Compared with the raw group, all indicators in the milk-processed group significantly decreased(P<0.05), while no significant differences were observed in the water-processed group, indicating that milk, as an adjuvant in processing, plays a key role in reducing the intestinal toxicity of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. Mass spectrometry results revealed that 29 components were identified in the raw product, including 28 terpenoids and 1 acetophenone. The content of these components decreased to varying extents after milk processing. A total of 28 components derived from Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix were identified in the milky precipitate, of which 27 were terpenoids, suggesting that milk processing promotes the transfer of toxic components from Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix into milk. To further investigate the effect of milk adjuvant processing on the toxic terpenoid components of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to observe the morphology of self-assembled casein micelles(the main protein in milk) in the milky precipitate. The micelles formed in casein-terpenoid solutions were characterized using particle size analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. TEM observations confirmed the presence of casein micelles in the milky precipitate. Characterization results showed that with increasing concentrations of toxic terpenoids, the average particle size of casein micelles increased, fluorescence intensity of the solution decreased, the maximum absorption wavelength in the UV spectrum shifted, and significant changes occurred in the infrared spectrum, indicating that interactions occurred between casein micelles and toxic terpenoid components. These findings indicate that the cathartic effect of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix becomes milder and its intestinal inflammatory toxicity is reduced after milk processing. The detoxification mechanism is that terpenoid components in Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix reassemble with casein in milk to form micelles, promoting the transfer of some terpenoids into the milky precipitate.

Objective To investigate the biological effects of Pasteurella multocida(Pm)culture supernatant and Pm-derived outer membrane vesicle(OMV)on bladder cancer cells.Methods Pm was cultured and its supernatant was collected.The effects of the supernatant on proliferation,migration and invasion of bladder cancer cell lines(T24 and 5637)were assessed by cell counting kit 8(CCK-8),wound healing assay,and Transwell migration and invasion assays with phosphate-buffered saline(PBS)and brain heart infusion(BHI)broth as controls.Pm-OMV were isolated from the supernatant via ultracentrifugation,and the remaining components of the supernatant served as control.The effects of Pm-OMV on proliferation,migration and invasion of T24 and 5637 cells were assessed by CCK-8 and Transwell migration and invasion assays.Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.A nude mouse xenograft tumor model was established.After intratumoral multi-point injections of Pm-OMV or PBS,the tumor growth was evaluated and the effects of Pm-OMV on proliferation and apoptosis of bladder cancer cells in vivo were verified by Ki67(a proliferation marker)immunohistochemical staining and TUNEL assay.Results Pm culture supernatant significantly inhibited the proliferation,invasion,and migration of T24 and 5637 cells in vitro compared with PBS and BHI controls(all P＜0.01).Pm-OMV not only inhibited the proliferation,invasion,and migration of T24 and 5637 cells,but also induced the apoptosis,and the differences were significant compared with the remaining components of the supernatant(all P＜0.05).The nude mouse subcutaneous tumor transplantation experiment further confirmed that Pm-OMV inhibited the proliferation of bladder cancer cells and promoted apoptosis in vivo,and the differences were significant compared with the PBS control(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Pm-OMV can inhibit the proliferation,invasion,and migration of bladder cancer cells and promote the apoptosis.It provides an experimental basis for studying the mechanism of microbial regulation of tumor progression and for developing new treatment strategies for bladder cancer.

Objective To explore the correlation between stroke etiology and clinical and imaging features in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)due to large vessel occlusion treated by intravascular thrombectomy.Methods A total of 213 patients with AIS and endovascular embolectomy in our hospital from Oct.2016 to Jun.2018 were enrolled retrospectively.According to the etiological classification criteria of Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment(TOAST),there were 116 cases of cardioembolism and 97 cases of non-cardioembolism.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the clinical and imaging characteristics for identifying cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism.Results Compared with non-cardioembolism AIS,cardioembolism AIS was associated with higher NIHSS scores(adjusted odds ratio[OR]=1.09,95%confidence interval[95%CI]1.01-1.18,P=0.02),atrial fibrillation(adjusted OR=76.46,95%CI 26.75-218.51,P＜0.01),absence of hypertension(adjusted OR=0.32,95%CI 0.12-0.84,P=0.02),antiplatelet drug use(adjusted OR=5.03,95%CI 1.22-20.63,P=0.03),shorter onset-to-puncture time(adjusted OR=0.998,95%CI 0.996-1.000,P=0.04),and presence of hyperdense artery sign(HAS)(adjusted OR=4.45,95%CI 1.47-13.49,P=0.01).Conclusion There are some differences in clinical and imaging characteristics between patients with cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism AIS.The occurrence of HAS suggests a higher probability of cardioembolism in AIS patients.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by impaired motility of cilia and flagella. Mutations in cilia- and flagella-associated protein 300 ( CFAP300 ) are associated with human PCD and male infertility; however, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. In a consanguineous Chinese family, we identified a homozygous CFAP300 loss-of-function variant (c.304delC) in a proband presenting with classical PCD symptoms and severe sperm abnormalities, including dynein arm deficiency and acrosomal malformation, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Histological analysis revealed multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella in CFAP300 -mutant individual, whereas immunofluorescence demonstrated markedly reduced CFAP300 expression in the spermatozoa of the proband. Furthermore, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics showed that the CFAP300 mutation reduced key spermatogenesis proteins (e.g., sperm flagellar 2 [SPEF2], solute carrier family 25 member 31 [SLC25A31], and A-kinase anchoring protein 3 [AKAP3]) and mitochondrial ATP synthesis factors (e.g., SLC25A31, cation channel sperm-associated 3 [CATSPER3]). It also triggered abnormal increases in autophagy-related proteins and signaling mediator phosphorylation. These molecular alterations are likely to contribute to progressive deterioration of sperm ultrastructure and function. Notably, successful pregnancy was achieved via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using the proband's sperm. Overall, this study expands the known CFAP300 mutational spectrum and offers novel mechanistic insights into its role in spermatogenesis.
