OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review concerning the safety of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) before gastrointestinal endoscopy. METHODS Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, and PubMed were searched to collect systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the safety of using GLP-1RA before gastrointestinal endoscopy, with a search period from the inception to September 30, 2025. Report quality, methodological quality, risk of bias, and evidence quality were assessed using the PRISMA 2020 statement, AMSTAR 2 scale, ROBIS tool, and GRADE tool, respectively. Corrected covered area (CCA) was used to quantitatively evaluate the degree of outcome overlap, and a comprehensive quality analysis was performed on the quantitative results of systematic reviews/meta-analyses. RESULTS Ten studies were included. All 10 stu dies had some information deficiencies (15.5-19.5 points), and were at high risk of bias; 9 studies were extremely low methodological quality, while 1 study was low. In terms of evidence quality, among 88 outcome indexes, there was 1 moderate-level index, 28 low-level indexes, and 59 extremely low-level indexes. The CCA values of the incidence of residual gastric contents, aspiration, endoscopy interruption, repeated endoscopy, inadequate bowel preparation and Boston Bowel Preparation Scale scores were 37.30%, 35.00%, 35.00%, 50.00%, 29.60% and 20.00%, respectively. Results of comprehensive quality analysis showed that compared with the control group, the incidence of residual gastric contents, endoscopy interruption and repeated endoscopy were increased significantly in the intervention group, along with a notably prolonged gastric emptying time and a significantly lower score of Boston Bowel Preparation Scale ( P <0.05). However, the study results regarding the effects of GLP-1RA on the incidence of aspiration and inadequate bowel preparation were inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS The use of GLP-1RA before gastrointestinal endoscopy can increase certain safety risks, including residual gastric contents, endoscopy interruption and repeated endoscopy, prolong gastric emptying time, and reduce the quality of bowel preparation. However, the effects on aspiration and inadequate bowel preparation remain controversial. The reports included in systematic reviews/meta-analyses exhibited low quality in reporting, methodology and evidence, with high risk of bias. Therefore, conclusions should be interpreted with caution.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):27-31
Objective:
To investigate the factors influencing the co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia, so as to provide a data foundation and theoretical basis for developing targeted intervention measures.
Methods:
In September and October 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 139 102 students from 539 schools across 12 leagues/cities and 103 banners/counties in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Participants who were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by a doctor at least once within one year and had a body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m 2 were considered to have comorbid conditions.
Results:
The coprevalence rate of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia was 6.4% (8 931 cases). Lasso-Logistic regression revealed that nonboarding status, higher maternal education, consuming high protein foods ≥1 time daily, occasionally or never eating breakfast, engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity for ≥60 minutes on fewer than half of holidays, and having been exposed to second hand smoke in person within the past seven days were associated with higher odds ratios for co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity( OR = 1.23 , 1.22-1.63, 1.20, 1.19, 1.38, 1.35); being female, higher grade level, residence in flag/county/district areas, non only child status, never having consumed a full glass of alcohol, non hypertensive status, and households without pets were associated with lower co-prevalence risks ( OR =0.65, 0.67-0.77, 0.81, 0.87, 0.73, 0.41, 0.68) (all P <0.05). The ROC curve indicated an area under the curve of 0.64 for the predictive model, demonstrating satisfactory discriminatory ability. The calibration curve showed consistency between predicted and actual occurrence probabilities.
Conclusions
The co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia is closely associated with demographic characteristics, dietary behaviours, and lifestyle habits. Future prevention and control strategies should prioritize these factors to implement targeted interventions.

Objective:To explore the impact of a comprehensive intervention program that integrates transitional care with personalized discharge preparation services on discharge preparedness on the growth, development, and motor development in premature infants, providing guidance and reference for clinical practice.Methods:The 90 pairs of premature infants and their main caregivers who were treated in the neonatal department, Children ′s Hospital, Quanzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital were studied from February 2023 to February 2024 by randomized control method. Used the table of random numbers, they were divided into the control group and the observation group, with 45 pairs in each group. The control group routinely administered care, while the observation group was implemented a transitional care combined with personalized discharge preparation services. The discharge preparedness, growth and motor development, and the disease uncertainty of caregivers were observed between the 2 groups. Results:There were 27 males and 18 females of the 45 preterm infants,with gestational age of 30.86 (29.36, 31.50) weeks in the control group, 24 males and 21 females with gestational age of 30.29(29.00, 31.07) weeks in the observation group. The main caregiver identities 43 were mothers and 2 were other identities in the control group, 42 were mothers and 3 were other identities in the observation group, with them being 31.00(28.00, 35.00) years old. There were 97.78% (44 /45) caregivers who thought the child was ready to go home in the observation group, while the control group were 84.44% (38 /45), these differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.88, P<0.05). The total score of discharge readiness in the observation group were 240.00(237.00, 242.50) points, higher than in the control group 226.00(219.00, 229.50) points, these differences were statistically significant ( Z=-6.23, P<0.05). The head circumference and body weight of the observation group were (34.82 ± 1.14) cm and (3.60 ± 0.55) kg, while the control group were (34.25 ± 1.22) cm and (3.35 ± 0.53) kg, there were statistically significant between the two groups ( t=-2.29, -2.22, all P<0.05). The Test of Infant Motor Performance score in the observation group was 50.00(46.00, 52.00) points, while the control group was 45.00(42.00, 48.00) points, there were statistically significant between the two groups ( Z=-3.65, P<0.05). The total score of disease uncertainty in the observation was 52.00(45.50, 60.00) points, while the control group was 61.00(58.50, 65.00) points, there was statistically significant between the two groups ( Z=-4.62, P<0.05). Conclusions:The discharge preparedness of the caregivers of preterm infants was improved because of the use of transitional care combined with personalized discharge preparation services, and the growth and motor development of preterm infants were promoted, and the uncertainty of the family caregivers of preterm infants about the disease was reduced.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)expresses abundant glycolytic enzymes and displays comprehensive glucose metabolism reprogramming.Aldolase A(ALDOA)plays a prominent role in glycolysis;however,little is known about its role in HCC development.In the present study,we aim to explore how ALDOA is involved in HCC proliferation.HCC proliferation was markedly suppressed both in vitro and in vivo following ALDOA knockout,which is consistent with ALDOA overexpression encouraging HCC prolifera-tion.Mechanistically,ALDOA knockout partially limits the glycolytic flux in HCC cells.Meanwhile,ALDOA translocated to nuclei and directly interacted with c-Jun to facilitate its Thr93 phosphorylation by P21-activated protein kinase;ALDOA knockout markedly diminished c-Jun Thr93 phosphorylation and then dampened c-Jun transcription function.A crucial site Y364 mutation in ALDOA disrupted its interaction with c-Jun,and Y364S ALDOA expression failed to rescue cell proliferation in ALDOA deletion cells.In HCC patients,the expression level of ALDOA was correlated with the phosphorylation level of c-Jun(Thr93)and poor prognosis.Remarkably,hepatic ALDOA was significantly upregulated in the promotion and progression stages of diethylnitrosamine-induced HCC models,and the knockdown of Aldoa strikingly decreased HCC development in vivo.Our study demonstrated that ALDOA is a vital driver for HCC development by activating c-Jun-mediated oncogene transcription,opening additional avenues for anti-cancer therapies.

Objective Human facial morphology is an appearance phenotype with high heritability,high diversity,and complexity.Traditional facial morphological genetic analysis is mostly based on facial landmark measurements,using linear regression for genome-wide association studies,but this method extracts limited facial morphological feature information.This study established an extraction method for multidimensional facial representations and validated the correlation between 473 single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)previously reported to be significantly associated with facial features and facial representations in the Han Chinese population.Methods After acquiring facial 3D images,3D morphable face models and HR-net network were used to align and quantify the 3D images,obtaining high-density 3D facial point cloud data.After unsupervised clustering of the point cloud,principal component analysis was applied to reduce dimensionality and extract multidimensional morphological phenotypes for each facial region.Based on these multidimensional phenotypes,partial least squares regression(PLSR)and canonical correlation analysis(CCA)were used for genetic association analysis.Results A total of 10 SNPs were validated to be significantly associated with facial morphology in Han Chinese,of which 7 SNPs were validated by the PLSR method,2 SNPs were validated by the CCA method,and 1 SNP was validated by both methods.Conclusion Among the 10 significantly associated SNP sites,9 related facial morphological regions were consistent with previous reports in other populations,indicating that genes affecting complex facial morphology have cross-population effects.

Objective To investigate the association of spleen volume with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)as well as their causal relationship.Methods We included 90 NAFLD cases and 47 healthy controls who had received contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT)scan of the abdomen at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from November 2022 to November 2023.We conducted three-dimensional reconstruction of the spleen through a deep learning network model using a two-stage coarse-to-fine segmentation approach.We compared the two groups using the two-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous data and using the chi-square test for categorical data;evaluated the correlation between spleen volume and liver function indicators through Pearson correlation or Spearman rank correlation analyses;determined the factors influencing the development of NAFLD through multivariable Logistic regression analysis;and further assessed the casual relationship between spleen volume and NAFLD using the inverse variance-weighted two-sample Mendelian randomization(IVW-MR)method.Results Spleen volume was significantly larger in NAFLD cases than in controls(272.93±104.16 vs 204.37±81.20 cm3,P<0.001).The Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that spleen volume was positively correlated with the hepatic steatosis index(rs=0.422,P<0.001)and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels(rs=0.211,P=0.047)in patients with NAFLD.The multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that spleen volume was an independent risk factor for the development of NAFLD(odds ratio[OR]=1.01,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.00-1.02,P=0.049).The IVW-MR analysis detected a causal relationship between spleen volume and NAFLD(OR=1.16,95%CI:1.05-1.28,P=0.005).Conclusion Increased spleen volume may be a risk factor for the development and progression of NAFLD.Further studies are still needed to investigate the specific mechanism.
