Objective: To investigate the status of antibiotic exposure in third grade primary school students in Shenzhen,so as to provide evidence for the scientific management of antibiotic use and reduction of population health risks. Methods: From 1 September to 30 October 2021, 200 third grade students from 8 primary schools in Luohu District of Shenzhen were selected by cluster random sampling as research subjects. The body composition was measured, urine samples were collected, and the contents of 35 antibiotics in the samples were detected by mass spectrometry. Relevant dietary habit information of the subjects was collected via questionnaires. The Chi square test was used to compare the detection rate of antibiotics among different genders and weight grades. The Logistic regression model was adopted to evaluate the correlation between the target antibiotic detection rate and dietary habits. Results: At least one type of antibiotic was detected in 198 of the subjects with an overall detection rate of 99.0% . Among the 35 target antibiotics, 23 were detected with detection rates ranging from 0.5%-69.5%. Quinolones had the highest detection rate of 86.5% , followed by macrolides and sulfonamides with detection rates of 77.5% and 76.5%, respectively. The detection rate of antibiotics was 98.3% in boys and 100.0% in girls with no statistically significant difference ( χ 2=1.35, P >0.05). The detection rates of quinolones, macrolides, and sulfonamides varied significantly among children with different BMI categories ( χ 2=38.18, 12.45, 9.76 , all P <0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression model analysis showed that the macrolide detection rate was affected by genders( OR =0.42) and the sulfonamide detection rate was significantly correlated with the frequency of dairy product consumption and being overweight( OR =2.01)(both P <0.05). Enrofloxacin was associated with the weekly consumption frequency of livestock meat such as pork, beef and mutton, as well as the weekly consumption frequency of poultry meat such as chicken, duck and goose ( OR = 2.81,2.17,both P <0.05). Trimethoprim was associated with the weekly frequency of drinking pure milk ( OR =5.49, P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Third grade primary school students in Shenzhen are generally exposed to low dose antibiotics. Macrolides, quinolones, and sulfonamides may be associated with the risk of obesity in primary school students.

BACKGROUND:Bone tissue loss caused by tumors and trauma can have an adverse effect on postoperative rehabilitation.Therefore,scaffold materials are usually implanted during treatment.However,the existing implant materials are relatively simple and lack antibacterial properties.Early implantation may lead to iatrogenic autoinfection and have an adverse effect on osteogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To construct a KR-12-a5 polypeptide-nanohydroxyapatite-small intestinal submucosa composite scaffold and evaluate its feasibility as a material for promoting bone defect repair.METHODS:The small intestinal submucosa scaffold and the small intestinal submucosa scaffold containing 25,50,and 100 mg/mL nanohydroxyapatite(referred to as nHA-SIS scaffold)were prepared by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide cross-linking method.The appropriate scaffold was screened for subsequent experiments by mechanical property testing.The antibacterial properties of KR-12-a5 polypeptide solution against Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus gordonii,and Fusobacterium nucleatum were detected.The nHA-SIS scaffolds were immersed in 250,500,and 1 000 μg/mL KR-12-a5 peptide solutions for 24 hours,and then freeze-dried to obtain peptide-loaded nanohydroxyapatite-porcine small intestinal submucosa composite scaffolds(denoted as P-nHA-SIS scaffolds).The sustained-release properties of the three groups of scaffolds were characterized.The nHA-SIS scaffolds and the three groups of P-nHA-SIS scaffolds were co-cultured with Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus gordonii,and Fusobacterium nucleatum for 24 hours or 48 hours.The scaffolds with strong antibacterial ability were screened by live and dead bacteria staining and scanning electron microscopy for subsequent experiments.The degradation properties and water absorption rates of the uncross-linked small intestinal submucosa scaffolds,cross-linked small intestinal submucosa scaffolds,nHA-SIS scaffolds,and P-nHA-SIS scaffolds were characterized.The extracts of cross-linked small intestinal submucosal scaffolds,nHA-SIS scaffolds,and P-nHA-SIS scaffolds were co-cultured with MC3T3-E1 cells.CCK-8 assay and live-dead cell staining were performed.The effects of the extracts of the three scaffolds on the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells were detected by Transwell chamber assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The elastic modulus and compressive strength of 25,50,and 100 mg/mL nHA-SIS scaffolds were higher than those of small intestinal submucosal scaffolds(P＜0.05),among which the elastic modulus and compressive strength of 25 mg/mL nHA-SIS scaffolds were the highest,and this group of scaffolds were selected for subsequent experiments to load peptides.(2)KR-12-a5 peptide had strong antibacterial activity against common bacteria in bone defects(Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus gordonii,and Fusobacterium nucleatum).The three groups of P-nHA-SIS scaffolds all had sustained release properties.With the increase of peptide mass concentration,the antibacterial property of P-nHA-SIS scaffold was enhanced.Among them,the P-nHA-SIS scaffold loaded with 500 μg/mL peptide had achieved a satisfactory antibacterial effect,and this group of scaffolds would be selected in the future.(3)The degradation rate of the three groups of cross-linked scaffolds was lower than that of the uncross-linked scaffolds,and the water absorption rate was greater than that of the uncross-linked scaffolds.P-nHA-SIS scaffolds could promote the proliferation and migration of MC3T3-E1 cells without affecting the activity of MC3T3-E1 cells.(4)The results show that P-nHA-SIS scaffolds have strong antibacterial properties and the ability to promote the proliferation and migration of MC3T3-E1 cells,and are expected to be used in bone defect repair.

Background With the rapid development of the food delivery industry, take-away deliverymen become an essential component of urban logistics. However, high labor intensity, unstable income, and extended working hours place them at considerable risk of occupational burnout. Available studies have paid insufficient attention to the mental health of this population, and effective predictive or preventive approaches remain limited. Objective To understand the status of occupational burnout among take-away deliverymen, identify influencing factors based on restricted cubic spline analysis, and develop a predictive model to provide a theoretical basis for improving their mental health. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among full-time take-away deliverymen registered to the "Ele.me" and "Meituan" platforms in Hangzhou between September 1 and November 30, 2024, using both online and offline approaches. A questionnaire covered sociodemographic, household, and occupational information, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–General Survey were used in this survey. Univariate analyses and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with burnout and to construct a predictive model. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve. Furthermore, restricted cubic spline was used to further explore the relationship between age, working hours, and occupational burnout. Results Among the 1192 participants, 735 (61.66%) experienced occupational burnout. The logistic regression model indicated that older age (OR=1.021, P=0.010), educational attainment of college level or above compared to junior high school or below, (OR=2.837, P<0.001), and longer daily working hours (OR=1.081, P=0.001) were positively associated with occupational burnout. In contrast, work experience of 3−5 years (OR=0.666, P=0.016) and more than 5 years (OR=0.382, P<0.001) compared to those with <3 years, as well as providing three social insurances (OR=0.655, P=0.006) or five social insurances (OR=0.478, P<0.001) compared to those without any social insurances coverage, were negatively associated with occupational burnout. The predictive model based on these variables achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.783 (95% CI: 0.756~0.809), and good agreement between calibration curves. The restricted cubic spline analysis revealed that the risk of occupational burnout was highest among delivery workers aged 33−46 years. Those with daily working hours between 3.5 and 8.1 h had a lower risk, while the risk significantly increased when working hours exceeded 8.1 h per day. Conclusion The prevalence of reporting occupational burnout among take-away deliverymen in Hangzhou is high. The developed predictive model provides valuable insights for the prevention and control of burnout in this population. Measures such as optimizing social security systems, rational work schedule allocation, and enhancing psychological support may help reduce occupational burnout among take-away deliverymen.

This comprehensive review synthesizes the latest advancements in understanding inflammatory disorders affecting cerebral small vessels, a distinct yet understudied category within cerebral small vessel diseases (SVD). Unlike classical SVD, these inflammatory conditions exhibit unique clinical presentations, imaging patterns, and pathophysiological mechanisms, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Highlighting their heterogeneity, this review spans primary angiitis of the central nervous system, cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation, systemic vasculitis, secondary vasculitis, and vasculitis in autoinflammatory diseases. Key discussions focus on emerging insights into immune-mediated processes, neuroimaging characteristics, and histopathological distinctions. Furthermore, this review underscores the importance of standardized diagnostic frameworks, individualized immunomodulation approaches, and novel targeted therapies to address unmet clinical demands.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between the levels of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E with body fat mass percentage(FMP) as well as lifestyle factors among primary school students, so as to provide references for exploring the vitamin nutritional status of primary school students and its potential influencing factors. Methods: From September 1 to October 30, 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select 750 thirdgrade students from eight primary schools in Luohu District, Shenzhen. Their body composition was measured, and blood samples were collected to detect the serum levels of vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E using a mass spectrometer. Dietary and exercise habits were collected through questionnaires. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test were used for inter group comparisons, spearman correlation was used for correlation analysis,and Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between lifestyle and vitamin content. Results: The overall level of vitamin A in school aged children was 0.4 (0.4, 0.5) mg/L, with a deficiency rate of 0 and a marginal deficiency rate of 5.1%; the level of vitamin D was 26.0 (22.0, 30.0) ng/mL, with a deficiency rate of 0.4% and an insufficiency rate of 12.7%; the content of vitamin E was 11.8 (10.1, 13.5) mg/L, with an insufficiency rate of 0.8%. Spearman correlation analysis showed that vitamin A was positively correlated with FMP in the total population, boys, girls, and normal weight population ( r =0.18, 0.18, 0.20, 0.10), and vitamin D was positively correlated with FMP in the total population and obese population ( r =0.08,0.16)(all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that marginal deficiency of vitamin A was associated with consumption of animal, snack, and dairy/egg/bean foods ( OR =0.45, 0.55, 0.59); whether vitamin D was deficient was influenced by gender ( OR =2.65) and exercise ( OR = 1.96 ) (all P <0.05). Conclusion Vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E levels are associated with body fat percentage, with significant variations in vitamin status among individuals of different body types, necessitating targeted supplementation.

Objective·To compare the safety and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy in the treatment of early upper gastric cancer.Methods·A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical and pathological data of 31 early gastric cancer patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy for gastrointestinal reconstruction at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from September 2023 to March 2024.Based on the surgical approach,patients were divided into the robot-assisted surgery group(robotic group,20 cases)and the laparoscope-assisted surgery group(laparoscopic group,11 cases).General clinical data,intraoperative conditions,and postoperative recovery between the two groups were compared.At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy were performed to assess anastomotic stricture and gastroesophageal reflux disease.Additionally,the gastric cancer-specific module of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC),Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach 22(QLQ-STO22),was used to evaluate the patients' quality of life.Results·The general data of the two groups,including gender,age,preoperative comorbidities,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification,Siewert classification,and pathological staging of tumors,showed no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).All patients successfully underwent the procedure without conversion to open surgery.The time for gastroesophageal anastomosis was significantly shorter in the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group[(31.09±8.23)min vs(43.73±8.83)min,P<0.001],while there were no statistically significant differences in other intraoperative and postoperative parameters,including operative time,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph nodes removed,duration of gastric tube placement,time to start a liquid diet,length of postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of postoperative complications(all P>0.05).At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,30 patients completed the follow-up,with one patient lost to follow-up in the robotic group.Upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy results showed that only one patient in the laparoscopic group developed an anastomotic stricture,while one patient in the robotic group developed grade A and one developed grade B gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).In addition,one patient in the laparoscopic group also developed grade B GERD.The incidences of GERD and anastomotic stricture showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups(both P>0.05).EORTC QLQ-STO22 results indicated that the robotic group had significantly lower scores in the dimensions of dysphagia,gastroesophageal reflux,and dietary restrictions,as well as in the total score,compared to the laparoscopic group(all P<0.05).Conclusion·Robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy is safe and feasible.It shortens anastomosis time and offers potential advantages in postoperative functional recovery and quality of life improvement.

BACKGROUND:The traditional method for treating infected bone defects is thorough debridement,filling with antibiotic-impregnated bone cement,and then autologous bone transplantation.However,there are problems such as insufficient antibiotic concentration and drug resistance,and limited bone mass.Therefore,it is of great clinical significance to seek dual-functional biomaterials that can locally release antibiotics at the site of infection and promote bone repair.OBJECTIVE:To design an injectable hydrogel composed of hyaluronic acid and oxidized dextran as a local delivery system for vancomycin to treat infection and promote bone regeneration.METHODS:(1)Vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogels were prepared to characterize the morphology,mechanical properties,and in vitro drug release of the hydrogels.(2)Hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogels and vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogels were co-cultured with rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Cell activity and proliferation were detected by live-dead staining and CCK-8 assay.After osteogenic induction,alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining,RUNX2 immunofluorescence staining,and RT-qPCR detection(osteocalcin and bone morphogenetic protein 2 mRNA expression)were performed to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.(3)The above two hydrogels were co-cultured with Escherichia coli(or Staphylococcus aureus)to detect the antibacterial ability of the hydrogels.(4)Thirty rabbits were selected to establish a 1.5 cm infected bone defect model in the middle of the left radius.Two weeks after modeling,they were randomly divided into three intervention groups:the blank group(n=10)did not receive any treatment;the control group(n=10)was injected with hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel at the bone defect site;the experimental group(n=10)was injected with vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel at the bone defect site.12 weeks after injection,the samples were collected for Micro-CT scanning,tissue morphology observation,RT-qPCR detection(tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin 6 mRNA expression),and immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel had a good porous structure with a pore size between 100-300 μm,and had good mechanical properties and in vitro drug sustained release performance.(2)Live-dead staining and CCK-8 assay results confirmed that vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel had good biocompatibility.Alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining,RUNX2 immunofluorescence staining,and RT-qPCR test results showed that both hydrogels could promote osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.(3)Compared with hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel,vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel could significantly inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.(4)Micro-CT scanning results showed that the bone volume fraction and bone density of new bone in the bone defect area of the experimental group were higher than those of the blank group and the control group(P＜0.05).The bone tissue morphology observation results showed that the experimental group had better repair effect of bone defects compared with the blank group and control group.The expression of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6 mRNA in the bone defect site in the experimental group was lower than that in the blank group and control group(P＜0.05).Immunohistochemical staining showed that the protein expressions of osteocalcin and RUNX2 at the site of bone defects in the experimental group and control group were higher than those in the blank group(P＜0.05).These findings indicate that vancomycin-loaded hyaluronic acid/oxidized dextran hydrogel can effectively promote bone regeneration under infection.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a woman with oocyte maturation disorder during assisted reproductive treatment (ART), and to verify the source of the variant and its impact on oocyte maturation through family verification.Methods:A 35-year-old infertile woman presented at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital on 20 October 2023 for a 10-year history of infertility despite unprotected intercourse was selected as study subject. Peripheral venous blood sample was collected from the proband. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to detect the potential variant. Candidate variants were validated within her family by Sanger sequencing, and their deleteriousness was assessed with comprehensive bioinformatic analyses to elucidate their origin and impact on oocyte maturation. According to the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants (hereinafter referred to as ACMG Guidelines) formulated by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the pathogenicity of the candidate variant was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No.: 2023GSFYLS78).Results:The proband underwent three controlled ovarian-stimulation cycles as part of assisted reproductive technology, yielding a total of 29 oocytes, among which only three were mature, whilst the remainders exhibited maturation arrest. Targeted sequencing of peripheral-blood DNA revealed a heterozygous c. 728C>T (p.P243L) missense variant of the TUBB8 gene. While the same variant was detected in the proband′s father. Based on the ACMG guidelines, the variant was classified to be likely pathogenic (PS4_Supporting+ PM2_Supporting+ PP2+ PP3+ PP4). Conclusion:The heterozygous c. 728C>T (p.P243L) missense variant of the TUBB8 gene probably underlay the oocyte maturation disorder in the proband, which may be either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. For probands with oocyte maturation disorders caused by the heterozygous c. 728C>T variant of the TUBB8 gene, oocyte donation may be considered.
