Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of school-family-community comprehensive intervention aimed at reducing sugar sweetened beverage(SSB) consumption among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide scientific basis for relevant departments to formulate campus sugar reduction measures for primary and secondary school students. Methods: In October 2023, a multi stage random cluster sampling method was used to select four primary schools (grade 4) and four junior high schools (grade 7) in Nanjing City, and they were randomly divided into the intervention group ( n =1 601) and the control group ( n = 1 433 ) (primary and secondary schools). The intervention group received a one year comprehensive intervention activity with the theme of “drinking less SSBs and enjoying a healthy life” for one consecutive year. The measures included the school conducting health education courses (once a month, 15 minutes each time), environmental support (posting promotional posters, changing them once a month), class bulletin board and interest projects (once a semester); interventions for families included conducting parent lectures (once per semester 30 min each time), new media (once a month) and hand in hand activities (once per semester); community carried out square promotion and create a supportive environment (post promotional posters and replace them once a month). The control group did not receive any intervention measures except regular health education classes. Self administered questionnaires were used to collect knowledge, attitudes, and intake of SSB at the baseline and after the intervention among primary and secondary school students. Results: After the intervention, the proportion of students in the intervention group with an SSB related knowledge awareness rate of 60% or above was 91.4%, which was higher than that of the control group (81.9%) ( χ 2=60.35, P < 0.01 ). The reporting rate of the behavior of choosing to drink beverages when thirsty in the intervention group was 25.4%, which was lower than that of the control group (33.3%); the reporting rates of informing parents about the hazards of sugar sweetened beverages and paying attention to nutrition labels were 62.0% and 78.0% respectively, both of which were higher than those of the control group (52.3%, 65.9%); the reporting rate of having sugar sweetened beverages at home frequently was 43.7% in the intervention group, which was lower than that of the control group (62.3%); the reporting rate of parents restricting the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages was 84.1%, which was higher than that of the control group (78.4%) ( χ 2= 22.66, 29.05, 54.40, 104.84, 16.24, all P <0.05). The reporting rate of students in the intervention group who consumed sugar sweetened beverages more than 4 times per week was 21.5%, which was lower than that of the control group (28.6%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=20.36, P <0.01). Conclusion The comprehensive intervention of school-family-community can effectively improve primary and secondary school students knowledge and attitudes regarding SSBs and reduce their consumption of these beverages.

ObjectiveTo construct an actor-network for integrating physical activity into rehabilitation services based on the World Health Organization Rehabilitation in Health Service System framework and actor-network theory (ANT). MethodsContent analysis was employed using the six building blocks of health service systems as the theoretical framework. Actors related to rehabilitation services were extracted and categorized into a rehabilitation actor pool, while a physical activity actor pool was formed based on four major physical activity scenarios. Actors from both pools were integrated, deduplicated and classified to form a final list of integrated actors. Using ANT, the construction process of the actor network integrating physical activity into rehabilitation was analyzed through the four stages of translation: problematization, interessment, enrollment and mobilization. ResultsA dynamic integration network was constructed, comprising human actors (patients, rehabilitation professionals, researchers, sports coaches, government departments, medical institutions, community organizations and industry media, etc.) and non-human actors (assistive devices, sports infrastructure, smart equipment, information systems, online exercise guidance systems, laws and regulations, strategic documents, and exercise prescriptions, etc.). The study identified maximizing rehabilitation outcomes as the mandatory passage point and elaborated on the critical role of government departments as focal actors in coordinating various stakeholders. ConclusionThe integration of physical activity into rehabilitation services is a dynamic network constructed by diverse actors through a process of translation. ANT provides an operational theoretical framework for cross-departmental governance of rehabilitation policies in China, promotes the spatial expansion of the rehabilitation field, and drives its transformation toward a networked and ecological system. The government needs to play a leading role in facilitating role reconstruction and synergy among heterogeneous actors in both the sports and rehabilitation sectors through mechanism design, to create a bidirectional empowerment mechanism that fosters mutual progress and ensures the sustainable development of integrated services.

Objective To investigate the causal relationship between immune cells and various molecular subtypes of breast cancer (BC) by using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods This study employed a two-sample MR analysis, with 731 immune cell types from the GWAS catalog as the exposure factors and four BC molecular subtypes (HR+/HER2−, HR+/HER2+, HR−/HER2+, and HR−/HER2−) from the BCAC Consortium as the outcome variables. For causal inference, inverse variance weighting (IVW) was employed as the primary analytical method, alongside multiple consistency validation approaches, including MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, simple mode, and Bayesian weighted Mendelian randomization. Reverse MR and sensitivity analyses were employed to effectively evaluate and exclude potential biases and interference from reverse causality. Results Significant causal associations were identified for specific immune cell phenotypes across subtypes. In HR+ BC, the HER2+ subtype was associated with seven immunophenotypes (five protective and two risk increasing), whereas the HER2− subtype was associated with eight immunophenotypes (four protective and four risk increasing). In HR− BC, the HER2+ subtype was associated with five immunophenotypes (one protective and four risk increasing), and the HER2− subtype (triple-negative BC) was associated with seven immunophenotypes (six protective and one risk-increasing). CD28+CD45RA−CD8+ T cells and naive CD8+ T cells have a bidirectional causal relationship with HR+/HER2+ breast cancer, Whereas the expression of CD8 on CD39+CD8+ cells also has a bidirectional relationship with HR+/HER2− breast cancer. Furthermore, CD4−CD8− NKT cells exhibited opposing effect directions in HER2+ versus HER2− subtypes. Conclusion From a genetic perspective, this study confirms the existence of subtype-specific causal associations between immune cell phenotypes and distinct molecular subtypes of BC, revealing heterogeneity in immune regulation.

ObjectiveTo establish background data for a 90-day feeding trial of SD rats to ensure the reliability of research data. MethodsBackground data from six independent 90-day feeding trials of SD rats conducted by the National Center for Safety Evaluation of Drugs from 2020 to 2023 were summarized. These studies involved a blank control group of 120 SPF-grade 4-week-old SD rats, with an equal number of males and females, which were only given standard full-nutrient pelleted rat feed. After the quarantine period, the animals were observed for an additional 90 days, followed by intraperitoneal injection of Zoletil (50 mg/mL) for anesthesia, blood sampling, euthanasia, and necropsy. By analyzing the data from the blank control group, a relevant background database for SD rats was established. ResultsBoth male and female rats exhibited steady weight gain, with a more pronounced increase in male rats. Within 90 days, the average body weight of male and female rats increased to over 500 g and 300 g, respectively. Three weeks later, the average daily food intake of male rats stabilized at approximately 25~28 g per rat, while that of female rats remained stable at approximately 16~19 g per rat. The food utilization rate of all animals gradually decreased from the first week of the experiment. In the white blood cell (WBC) differential count results, significant differences were observed in the counts of WBCs, neutrophils (Neut), lymphocytes (Lymph), and monocytes (Mono) between males and females (P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences in the percentages of neutrophil (%Neut), lymphocyte (%Lymph), and monocyte (%Mono) between the sexes (P>0.05). The average red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were higher in male animals than in female animals (P<0.05). The average values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine phosphokinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose (GLU), and triglyceride (TG) in male rats were higher than those in female rats (P<0.05). The urinary pH range for male animals was 5.0 to 8.5, while for female animals it was 6.5 to 9.0. The majority of male animals had a urinary specific gravity lower than 1.020, and the majority of female animals had a urinary specific gravity lower than 1.015. The weights of various organs (excluding the adrenal glands and reproductive organs) in male animals were heavier than those in female animals (P<0.001), while the organ/body weight ratios (excluding the kidneys and reproductive organs) of female animals were higher than those of male animals (P<0.001). ConclusionThis study summarizes the background reference ranges for body weight, food intake, hematology, and serum biochemistry indicators in SPF-grade SD rats in the untreated control group from six 90-day feeding trials conducted by the National Center for Safety Evaluation of Drugs. It provides important reference data for related research. By summarizing the background and spontaneous histopathological changes in rats, this study aids in the standardization and normalization of subsequent research, as well as in the evaluation and analysis of abnormal results.

Objective: To analyze factors impacting mental health status of medical students based on ecological systems theory, so as to provide reference for the mental health promotion system for medical students. Methods: In June 2024, 1 760 medical school students randomly selected from 19 different kinds of medical colleges in eastern China by stratified cluster were surveyed using questionnaires and expert interviews. Descriptive statistics, cross analysis, hierarchical linear regression analysis, structural equation models were used for data analysis. Results: Medical school students had higher satisfaction with the school (65.85%) and a great sense of perceived social support (57.16%). Furthermore, 91.14% of the students had normal interpersonal relationships. However, 44.89% reported that their mental health was impacted by high level of depression. The hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that the mental health outcomes of the medical students were positively predicted by higher perceived social support scores ( β =-11.40), institutional satisfaction ( β =-4.85 ), and lower help seeking stigma scores ( β =9.31) ( P <0.05). The structural equation modeling showed that the status of both perceived social support and self help seeking stigma had significant impacts on depression severity ( β =-0.32, -0.53) and interpersonal relationship sensitivity ( β =-0.31, 0.58) among medical students ( P <0.01).Through expert interviews, collaborations between the school and the tripartite organization (families, universities and society) was of growing importance. Conclusions Perceived social support and self stigma have a significant impact on the mental health status of medical students. The problem of self stigma of medical students should be paid attention to. Therefore, families, universities and society should work together to improve the mental health of medical students.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside （TWM） on renal injury in diabetic nephropathy （DN） rats through tumor protein p53/microRNA-214 （miR-214）/UNC-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1） axis. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group （n＝6） and modeling group （n＝28）； the modeling group was fed with high fat and high glucose plus intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to establish DN model. The modeled rats were randomly divided into model group， valsartan group [8.33 mg/（kg·d）] and TWM group[6.25 mg/（kg·d）]， with 8 rats in each group. Rats in each group were gavaged with the corresponding medication or normal saline， once a day， for 6 consecutive weeks. After the last medication， liver and renal function indexes [24 h urinary total protein （24 h-UTP）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， serum creatinine （SCr）， albumin （ALB）， alanine transaminase （ALT）]， blood lipid indexes （triglycerides， total cholesterol） and blood glucose index （fasting blood glucose） in urine/blood sample of rats were detected in each group. Renal pathologic change was observed， protein and mRNA expressions of p53， ULK1， Beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 （LC3）， and expression of miR-214 in renal tissue were also determined. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， the renal tubular epithelium of rats in the model group showed obvious edema， cell swelling， accompanied by lymphocyte infiltration； the levels of 24h-UTP， BUN， SCr， ALT and glycolipid indexes， the expressions of p53 protein and mRNA， as well as the expression of miR-214 in rats in the model group and administration groups were significantly increased or up-regulated， while ALB level， LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ， the expressions of LC3 mRNA， the expressions of ULK1， Beclin-1 protein and mRNA were significantly decreased or down-regulated （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the histopathological damage of the kidney in rats was improved in administration groups； the levels of 24 h-UTP， BUN， SCr， ALT and glycolipid indexes， the expressions of p53 protein and mRNA， as well as the expression of miR-214 were all significantly decreased or down-regulated， while ALB level， LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ， the expressions of LC3 mRNA， the expressions of ULK1 and Beclin-1 protein and mRNA were significantly increased or up-regulated （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS TG can alleviate renal damage in DN rats， and improve their liver and renal function， as well as glucose and lipid levels. These effects may be related to the regulation of the p53/miR-214/ULK1 axis and the restoration of cellular autophagy.

Diabetic kidney disease （DKD） is one of the common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus （DM） and a primary cause of chronic kidney disease （CKD） and end-stage renal disease （ESRD）. Inflammation is currently a hot topic in exploring the pathogenesis of DKD. Macrophages， T cells， interleukins， tumor necrosis factor， NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome， Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） signaling pathway， and nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB）-related signaling pathway all play a role in regulating the inflammation of DKD and accelerating its progression. Astragali Radix， a Chinese herbal medicine， is widely used in the treatment of DKD and possesses strong anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have revealed that active ingredients of Astragali Radix， including polysaccharides， astragaloside Ⅳ， total flavonoids， calycosin， and quercetin， can regulate multiple signaling pathways to ameliorate the microinflammatory state and alleviate kidney damage， thereby slowing down the progression of DKD. This article systematically reviews the factors influencing the inflammation in DKD and analyzes recent research findings and mechanisms concerning active ingredients of Astragali Radix in the management of DKD inflammation， aiming to offer novel insights and directions for the prevention， treatment， and research of DKD.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DMSC), owing to their self-renewal capacity and multi-lineage differentiation potential, have demonstrated significant promise in the field of oral tissue regeneration. Mitochondria, as essential organelles within cells, can not only be responsible for energy metabolism but also influence the maintenance of stem cell stemness and the direction of differentiation by regulating cellular metabolic processes, apoptosis, and signal transduction pathways. In recent years, the mechanisms by which mitochondria participating in the osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of DMSC have gradually become a research focus. This paper reviews the regulatory mechanisms of mitochondria in the osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of DMSC, with emphasis on how mitochondrial energy metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis) and quality control processes (namely biogenesis, dynamics as fission and fusion, and autophagy) modulate the differentiation of DMSC. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the research and application of dental pulp regeneration, periodontal tissue regeneration, and other aspects of oral tissue engineering.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence, severity, and influencing factors of chronic periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Nanjing.Methods:From June to August 2022, by using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of 1 477 community-dwelling T2DM patients aged 35 years and older were selected and included from the National Essential Public Health Services Program for T2DM health management. Physical examinations, laboratory tests, and questionnaire surveys were conducted. Study participants were divided into chronic periodontitis group and non-chronic periodontitis group. The chronic periodontitis group was defined as having interproximal clinical attachment loss (CAL) detected at least at two non-adjacent sites, or having buccal/lingual CAL≥3 mm at least at two sites with probing depth (PD)≥3 mm, while excluding CAL caused by non-periodontal reasons. The remaining participants were classified as the non-chronic periodontitis group. In the chronic periodontitis group, patients who had PD≥6 mm at least at two sites with CAL≥5 mm were defined as severe periodontitis, with remaining cases classified as mild-to-moderate periodontitis.Results:The prevalence of chronic periodontitis among T2DM patients was 70.1% (962/1 373), with mild to moderate and severe periodontitis prevalence rates of 62.4% (857/1 373) and 7.6% (105/1 373), respectively. After complex weighted processing, the prevalence of chronic periodontitis in T2DM patients was 67.9%, with mild to moderate and severe periodontitis prevalence rates of 61.2% and 6.7%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting all covariates, compared with mental workers, the risk of chronic periodontitis was significantly higher in retired people ( OR=1.78, 95 %CI: 1.75-1.81, P<0.001), unemployed/others ( OR=2.18, 95 %CI: 2.14-2.22, P<0.001), and physical workers ( OR=3.80, 95 %CI: 3.73-3.87, P<0.001). In terms of blood glucose control status, compared with the group that met both control targets, the risk of chronic periodontitis was significantly higher in the group that met only one target ( OR=1.28, 95 %CI: 1.27-1.30, P<0.001) and the group that met neither target ( OR=3.29, 95 %CI: 3.25-3.34) ( P<0.001). The results of ordered Logistic regression showed that after adjusting for all covariates, compared with male patients, female patients had a significantly lower risk of progression to severe periodontitis ( OR=0.77, 95 %CI: 0.76-0.78, P<0.001). In terms of the score of healthy lifestyle, compared with those with a score of 0-2, the risk of progression to severe periodontitis was significantly lower in those with a score of 3 ( OR=0.85, 95 %CI: 0.84-0.86, P<0.001) and 4 ( OR=0.51, 95 %CI: 0.50-0.52, P<0.001). In terms of blood glucose control, compared with the group that met both control targets, the risk of progression to severe periodontitis was significantly higher in the group that met only one target ( OR=1.27, 95 %CI: 1.26-1.29, P<0.001) and the group that meet neither target ( OR=3.24, 95 %CI: 3.21-3.28, P<0.001). Furthermore, poor blood glucose control was significantly positively associated with increased periodontitis severity, demonstrating that worse glycemic control status corresponded to a higher risk of worsening periodontitis severity ( P<0.001). Conclusions:There is an association between the glycemic control status of T2DM patients and chronic periodontitis.
