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 investigate the incidence, glucolipid metabolism characteristics, and associated factors of postoperative overweight/obesity in children and adolescent with craniopharyngioma. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted using follow-up data from 44 patients (aged 0-18 years) diagnosed with craniopharyngioma who underwent surgical treatment and received follow-up care at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, between January 2006 and February 2024. The incidence and glucolipid metabolism characteristics of overweight/obesity were summarized, and potential influencing factors were analyzed. ResultsA total of 44 patients were enrolled. The mean age at surgery was (8.57 ± 4.25) years, and the mean age at last follow-up was (16.02 ± 5.36 )years. The mean follow-up duration was (7.45 ± 4.64) years (range, 8 months to 17.5 years). The preoperative incidence of overweight/obesity was 40.91% (predominantly overweight, 27.27%), which increased to 68.18% postoperatively (predominantly obesity, 50.00%). Postoperatively, all patients (44/44, 100%) underwent fasting plasma glucose (FPG) testing, among whom 2 (4.55%) had impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Fasting insulin (FINS) was measured in 20 patients, and insulin resistance was identified in 11 (55.00%). Oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) with insulin release assessment was performed in 12 patients, and all (100%) exhibited abnormal insulin secretion, including 5 (41.67%) with hyperinsulinemia and 3 (25.00%) diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM). All patients (44/44, 100%) underwent lipid profile assessment. The incidence of dyslipidemia was 81.82% (36/44), including elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (29/44, 65.91%), hypertriglyceridemia (29/44, 65.91%), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (22/44, 50.00%), and mixed hyperlipidemia (13/44, 29.55%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative overweight/obesity and postoperative abnormal glucose metabolism were significant factors associated with postoperative overweight/obesity. Compared with normal-weight patients, those with postoperative overweight/obesity had higher FINS levels (14.22 mU/L vs. 3.57 mU/L), higher insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) (2.88 vs. 0.52), and a higher incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism (77.78% vs. 23.08%). However, no significant difference was observed in the incidence of dyslipidemia (94.44% vs. 73.08%). ConclusionsChildren and adolescent with craniopharyngioma exhibit a higher incidence of overweight/obesity than healthy peers preoperatively, which becomes more pronounced after surgery. This is accompanied by a high incidence of glucolipid metabolic disorders, placing these patients at increased risk of metabolic syndrome, which warrants clinical attention and regular metabolic assessment. In patients who develop postoperative obesity, particular attention should be given to the risk of glucose metabolism abnormalities, and further monitoring of glucose homeostasis is recommended.

Objective :
To generate heterozygous TRAF2 knockout mice, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology was successfully employed. These mice were served as a valuable model to explore the pathological mechanisms underlying inflammatory and immune disorders mediated by abnormal TNF-α-TRAF2 signaling and to develop new therapeutic targets.
Methods :
A vector targeting the knockout of the TRAF2 gene was constructed. Lead RNA and Cas9 Mrna were introduced into the fertilized eggs of C57BL/6JGpt mice through microinjection to mediate the TRAF2 gene mutation in mice. The mouse tail protein was extracted and the genotype of the F0 generation was determined by PCR and Western blot. TRAF2+/- mice were successfully obtained. F0 generation mice were backcrossed with C57BL/6JGpt wild-type mice to obtain stable TRAF2+/- mice for propagation and subsequent experiments. The body weight of TRAF2+/- mice was detected; Western blot was used to detect the expression of TRAF2 in the spleen, liver and kidney tissues of TRAF2+/- mice. The development of spleen, liver and kidney tissues in TRAF2+/- mice was detected by HE staining.
Results :
PCR identification using specific primers demonstrated that TRAF2+/- mice exhibited a target band at 679 bp. Western blot analysis results indicated that, compared with the WT group, the expression of TRAF2 in the tail protein of TRAF2+/- mice was significantly reduced(P+/- mice had a lower body weight compared to their littermate WT mice(P+/- mice was decreased(P+/- mice and WT mice.
Conclusion
The successful construction of TRAF2+/- mice has provided an important animal model for exploring the role of TRAF2 in developmental regulation, revealing the mechanism of inflammatory immune diseases mediated by abnormal TNF-α-TRAF2 signaling, and screening related drug targets.

Objective:To measure the length and curvature of the external auditory canal (EAC) centerline using a three-dimensional (3D) measurement method based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on HRCT images of healthy EAC from 49 patients (64 ears) examined at the Sixth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from June to October 2024. The cohort included 25 males (28 ears) and 24 females (36 ears), aged 22-78 years (mean age 47.3 years), categorized into age groups: 18-30 years (20 ears), 31-60 years (22 ears), and 61-80 years (22 ears). The EAC comprised 29 left and 35 right ears. 3D reconstruction of the EAC was performed using medical software (3D Slicer), and the central curve of the EAC was extracted using an improved measurement method to determine its length and curvature. Statistical analysis was performed using Origin Pro 2023 software to compare differences across genders, sides, and age groups.Results:The measurements of EAC length and curvature revealed that the EAC was significantly longer in males than in females (27.46 mm vs. 25.44 mm, P=0.014) and longer on the right side than on the left (27.99 mm vs. 25.87 mm, P=0.031). No statistically significant difference in EAC length was observed among the different age groups ( P>0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant differences in EAC curvature were found regarding gender, side, or age group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The HRCT-based 3D reconstruction technique enables the establishment of a rapid and effective automated workflow for extracting the central curve of the EAC and systematically measuring its length and curvature. The data obtained provide a reference and methodological support for further research on anatomical variations of the human EAC and its potential clinical applications, such as the design of otological instruments or surgical planning.
