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.

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.

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.

Thyroid nodules (TNs) are defined as discrete lesions within the thyroid gland. Pregnancy, as a unique physiological stage, presents challenges for both clinicians and pregnant women when TNs are detected. Epidemiological studies have shown that the occurrence and development of TNs are closely related to hormonal changes during pregnancy, geographical location, and iodine intake. Thyroid ultrasonography is the best imaging method for evaluating TNs in pregnant women, which requires combined screening with serological diagnosis and multidisciplinary consultation (clinical endocrinologists, thyroid surgeons, and gynecologists, etc.) to discuss treatment indications, methods, and appropriate timing. Meanwhile, monitoring and follow-up during pregnancy should be conducted to assess the prognosis of both the mother and the fetus. This article focuses on reviewing the relevant research progress of TNs during pregnancy, and provides references for diagnosis, intervention, and treatment of TNs in the gestational period.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of Gongxuening Capsules in reducing post-abortion bleeding following artificial abortion.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind study was conducted. From May 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, 484 women who underwent vacuum aspiration abortion for early intrauterine pregnancy were enrolled in 11 centers and randomly assigned to control group and the study group at a 1∶1 ratio using a center-block randomization method. Control group were administered a placebo of Gongxuening Capsules for 9 d, while the study group received the actual Gongxuening Capsules for the same duration. The outcomes measured included vaginal bleeding volume, duration of vaginal bleeding, endometrial thickness, time to menstrual recovery, and complications.Results:1) A total of 484 subjects were enrolled, and 472 completed the study. Totally 450 subjects were included in the efficacy analysis set, with 224 in control group and 226 in the study group; 468 subjects were included in the safety analysis set, with 236 in control group and 232 in the study group. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable (all P>0.05). 2) The vaginal bleeding volume was lower in the study group [(13.30±12.14) mL] than in control group [(19.00±17.67) mL, P<0.001]. The proportion of subjects in the study group with bleeding days less than 4 d [29.65% (67/226)] was higher than that in control group [19.20% (43/224), P=0.010]. 3) No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of time to menstrual recovery and endometrial thickness (all P>0.05). 4) In the study group, 3 subjects experienced non-therapeutic-related complications, while 11 subjects in control group. The incidence of complications was lower in the study group [1.29% (3/232)] than in control group [4.66% (11/236), P=0.033]. Conclusion:The administration of Gongxuening Capsules to women following artificial abortion significantly reduced vaginal bleeding volume and was associated with good safety, with the treatment being well-tolerated by the subjects.

Objective:To explore effect of Astragalus polysaccharides(APS)through TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway on intesti-nal immune inflammation of rats with dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome based on fecal microbiota transplantation.Methods:Rats with dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome were fed with high-fat and low-protein diet and subjected to exhaustive swimming,transplant flora microbiota after intervention of APS.General condition,changes in weight gain,time of weight exhaustion swimming,spleen index and thymus index were tested.Pathological manifestations of duodenal tissue inflammation were observed by HE staining.Serum IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations of rats were determined by ELISA.Protein levels of TLR4,NF-κB p65 and IκBα in colon were determined by Western blot.Results:Compared with model group,general condition rating,changes in weight gain and time of weight exhaustion swimming in APS-FTG group were increased significantly(P<0.01);spleen index and thymus index were increased;pathological manifestations of duodenal inflammation were significantly relieved;serum IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations were decreased significantly(P<0.01),TLR4 and NF-κB p65 levels in colon were decreased significantly(P<0.05 and P<0.01),IκBα level was in colon increased significantly(P<0.01).Conclusion:APS improves intestinal microbiota of rats with dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome and inhibits TLR4/NF-κB pathway activation through intestinal flora,thus improving intestinal immune inflammation status in rats with dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors associated with intradialytic hypotension (IDH) in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:This study used a cross-sectional design and included 150 adult patients who underwent MHD at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2023 to March 2024. Relevant clinical data were collected to analyze the occurrence of IDH in patients undergoing MHD over 3 months, and the associated risk factors.Results:Among the 150 patients undergoing MHD, there were 67 in the IDH group and 83 in the non-IDH group. The IDH group had a higher fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) [89.41 (73.30, 114.50) vs. 76.56 (65.80, 89.60), χ2 = -3.55, P < 0.001], an older age [(68.46 ± 14.10) years vs. (61.30 ± 12.23) years, t = -3.33, P = 0.001], a longer dialysis duration [(4 (3.5, 4.0) hours vs. (4 (4.0, 4.0) hours), U = -2.11, P = 0.044], a greater ultrafiltration volume [(2.20 ± 0.74) L vs. (1.92 ± 0.82) L, t = -2.16, P = 0.032], a higher ultrafiltration rate [(8.90 ± 2.64) mL·h?1·kg?1 vs. (7.75 ± 2.91) mL·h?1·kg?1, t = -2.51, P = 0.013], and a higher ultrafiltration volume/dry body mass ratio [(33.75 ± 9.76) mL/kg vs. (30.21 ± 11.39) mL/kg, t = -2.11, P = 0.046] compared with the non-IDH group. In the IDH group, the proportion of patients with primary chronic glomerulonephritis was lower (19.4% vs. 37.3%, χ2 = 5.76, P = 0.016), fibrinogen levels were higher [(3.63 (3.15, 4.50) μg/L vs. (3.34 (2.90, 3.74) μg/L, U = -2.61, P = 0.009], albumin levels were lower [(41.26 ± 4.03) g/L vs. (43.42 ± 4.29) g/L, t = 3.15, P = 0.002], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were lower [0.90 (0.77, 1.09) mmol/L vs. 1.05 (0.84, 1.34) mmol/L, U = -2.77, P = 0.006], and C-reactive protein levels were higher [5.92 (2.79, 9.61) mg/L vs. 2.70 (0.99, 6.49) mg/L, U = -2.27, P = 0.023] compared with the non-IDH group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that higher FAR values ( OR = 1.030, P = 0.025), a history of chronic glomerulonephritis ( OR = 10.408, P = 0.012), older age ( OR = 1.062, P = 0.043), a high ultrafiltration volume/dry body mass ratio ( OR = 1.072, P = 0.037), and low HDL-C levels ( OR = 0.046, P = 0.015) are independent risk factors for IDH. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for FAR predicting IDH was 0.699 (95% CI: 0.571-0.827, P = 0.003). The combination of age, chronic glomerulonephritis, ultrafiltration volume/dry body mass ratio, HDL-C levels, and FAR for predicting IDH resulted in a receiver operating characteristic curve area of 0.839 (95% CI: 0.750-0.929, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Among the risk factors for IDH in patients undergoing MHD, FAR is independently associated with an increased risk of IDH and serves as a valuable predictor for its occurrence in these patients.
