Objective: To conduct a scoping review on the types, construction methods and predictive performance of health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods, so as to provide the reference for the improvement and application of such models. Methods: Publications on health literacy prediction models conducted using machine learning methods were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science from inception to May 1, 2024. The quality of literature was assessed using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias ASsessment Tool. Basic characteristics, modeling methods, data sources, missing value handling, predictors and predictive performance were reviewed. Results: A total of 524 publications were retrieved, and 22 publications between 2007 and 2024 were finally enrolled. Totally 48 health literacy prediction models were involved, and 25 had a high risk of bias (52.08%), with major issues focusing on missing value handling, predictor selection and model evaluation methods. Modeling methods included regression models, tree-based machine learning methods, support vector machines and neural network models. Predictors primarily encompassed factors at four aspects: individual, interpersonal, organizational and society/policy aspects, with age, educational level, economic status, health status and internet use appearing frequently. Internal validation was conducted in 14 publications, and external validation was conducted in 4 publications. Forty-two models reported the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve, which ranged from 0.52 to 0.983, indicating good discrimination. Conclusion Health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods perform well, but have deficiencies in risk of bias, data processing and validation.

Breast cancer， as one of the major cancers threatening women's health globally， is characterized by high aggressiveness， high malignancy， and poor prognosis. In 2022， according to the World Health Organization， breast cancer ranked second in the incidence of female cancers globally， accounting for 11.6% of all new cancer cases. Western medical doctors mainly use surgery， chemotherapy， radiotherapy， endocrine therapy， and molecular targeted therapy to treat breast cancer， which can effectively improve the recurrence rate and death rate of breast cancer patients and prolong the survival period of patients. However， its treatment process is often accompanied by a series of side effects， which bring challenges to patients' quality of life. However， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells， reducing toxic side effects produced by chemotherapy， and improving patients' survival rate and quality of life. It is therefore particularly necessary to investigate the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of TCM in breast cancer treatment. The authors combed the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of the etiology and pathogenesis of breast cancer， identification and treatment of breast cancer， TCM compound， TCM single medicine， TCM monomer， and external treatment of TCM to prevent and control breast cancer and found that TCM has a therapeutic effect on breast cancer. It can play a role in increasing the effectiveness， reducing the toxicity， and alleviating the adverse reactions. It can inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation， cell cycle， migration， invasion， immune escape， epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， aerobic glycolysis， mitochondrial biosynthesis， aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis， reduce drug resistance， promote apoptosis， ferroptosis， cell autophagy， and regulate the tumor immune microenvironment by regulating signaling pathways. This paper aims to provide new ideas and methods for experimental research and clinical treatment of breast cancer.

ObjectiveThe U6 promoter is an essential element for driving sgRNA expression in the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat sequences/CRISPR-associated protein 9（CRISPR/Cas9）gene editing system in dicotyledonous plants. Endogenous U6 promoters typically exhibit higher transcriptional activity， which can significantly improve gene editing efficiency. This study aims to identify endogenous U6 promoters in Artemisia annua to optimize its CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system， which holds significant importance for its molecular breeding. MethodsOn the basis of the highly conserved U6 snRNA sequences in Arabidopsis thaliana， endogenous U6 promoters were screened in the A. annua genome. Expression vectors were constructed with candidate AaU6 promoter driving the firefly luciferase （LUC） reporter gene， and then transiently transformed into Nicotiana benthamiana. Transcriptional activities of the promoters were measured and compared by in vivo imaging and the Dual Luciferase Reporter assay. ResultsEight endogenous U6 promoters were successfully cloned from A. annua. Sequences alignment revealed that all these promoters contained the two conserved cis-acting elements， upstream sequence element （USE） and TATA-box， which affected their transcriptional activity. Dual-luciferase activity assays indicated that the transcriptional activities of AaU6-3， AaU6-1， and AaU6-5 were significantly higher than that of the Arabidopsis AtU6-26 promoter， with AaU6-3 exhibiting the highest activity. ConclusionThis study identified three endogenous AaU6 promoters with high transcriptional activity in A. annua， providing key functional elements for establishing an efficient gene editing system in A. annua. These findings will contribute to advancing precision molecular breeding and high-quality germplasm innovation in A. annua.

Objective: To explore the effects of different positions, epoch lengths and cut points of accelerometers on the measurement of sedentary behaviour (SB), light physical activity (LPA) and moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in school aged children, so as to provide a reference for optimizing the criteria of accelerometers to measure SB and physical activity in school aged children. Methods: From May 2021 to September 2022, 110 school aged children aged 8-12 years old were convenient selected from a primary school in Hangzhou, and the accelerometers were worn on the waist, back, thigh, and wrist during the school time, and the collected data were transformed into six datasets with different epoch lengths (1, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 s) and compared using 4 common cut points developed by Puyau, Freedson, Evenson, and Pulsford (a total of 96 combinations) for classifying the percentages of time spent in SB, LPA, and MVPA. The effects of different positions, epoch lengths and cut points and their interactions on the assessment results were analyzed using a three way repeated measures ANOVA, and the variability of multiple comparisons between groups was analyzed using a Bonferroni post hoc test. Results: Except for the interaction of cut point × position × epoch on the percentage of time spent in SB and the main effect of epoch on he percentage of time spent in MVPA were not statistically significant ( F =0.66，1.18， P >0.05), the remaining main effects and interactions of the three factors on the assessment results were all statistically significant ( F =6.28-11 662.28， P <0.01). The differences between the results of different positions were statistically significant ( F =90.98-308.79, P <0.01). The percentages of time spent in SB and MVPA decreased with the increase of epoch lengths, while the percentage of time spent in LPA increased with the increase of epoch lengths ( F =16.54- 676.35 , P <0.01). The difference between the results using different cut points measurements was statistically significant ( F = 98.14- 976.40, P <0.01). Conclusions Accelerometer methodological factors including positions, epoch lengths and cut points will affect the estimates of SB and physical activity in school aged children. Therefore, it is recommended that future studies need to optimize the applicability of accelerometer analysis methods in school aged children, and the comparisons of results between studies need to be treated with caution.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the use of acetaminophen in primary medical institutions of Shaanxi province， and to provide evidence for promoting the standardized and rational use of acetaminophen. METHODS According to the method of cluster stratified random sampling， all prescriptions of acetaminophen issued by primary medical institutions in one district and one county （or two districts） were randomly selected from 10 provincial cities of Shaanxi province from 2020 to 2023； the existing clinical diagnoses were classified by using the International Classification of Diseases （ICD） code， and the drug information of collected prescriptions was analyzed descriptively. SPSS 25.0 software was used for single-factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis to find out the key factors affecting the duration of medication ＞10 d. RESULTS A total of 7 375 valid prescriptions for acetaminophen were collected in this study. The patients who used acetaminophen were mainly female （52.11%） and aged 19-64 （66.73%）. Based on the ICD code， the disease categories most involved in the use of acetaminophen were musculoskeletal system， connective tissue diseases or symptoms and signs （43.48%）； the top 3 clinical diagnoses were joint disease （25.59%）， fracture （9.95%）， and toothache （8.58%）. Among the 7 175 prescriptions with clear drug usage and dosage， 3 366 were in line with the recommendation of acetaminophen instruction， and 5.63% of the prescriptions exceeded the maximum dose limit of acetaminophen 2.0 g/d. There were 4 051 prescriptions exceeding the conventional limit of treatment duration （7 d）， and 1 336 prescriptions exceeding the limit of treatment duration （10 d）. The main factors affecting the duration of drug treatment ＞10 d were the region and type of medical institutions， the gender and age of patients， and the phenomenon of the duration of drug treatment ＞10 d was common in the primary medical institutions from southern Shaanxi， township health centers， the elderly and female patients. CONCLUSIONS There are some unreasonable clinical applications of acetaminophen in primary medical institutions of Shaanxi province， which are mainly manifested in inappropriate usage and dosage， unsuitable clinical diagnosis and drug duration. The region， type of medical institution， age and gender of patients will affect the duration of this drug prescription.

ObjectiveTo analyze and assess the pollution levels of lead （Pb）， cadmium （Cd）， and chromium （Cr） in rural soils of Wanzhou District， Chongqing Municipality， and to provide data support for proposing relevant measures and suggestions. MethodsBased on the soil monitoring data from 2017 to 2021， the ecological risk assessment was conducted by applying the Soil Pollution Risk Control Standard for Agricultural Land of Soil Environmental Quality （for trial implementation） （GB 15168‒2018）， the pollution index method and the potential ecological risk method. ResultsA total of 100 soil samples were collected， with pH values ranged from 3.50 to 8.30， and a mean value of 6.10. The mean values of Pb， Cd， and Cr in the soil were 25.2 mg·kg^-1， 0.310 mg·kg^-1， and 68.6 mg·kg^-1， respectively. Except for Cr， the mean values of other elements exceeded the soil background values. Cd level had the largest coefficient of variation and uneven spatial distribution， with an overall exceedance rate of 30.0%. Pollution levels of Pb and Cr were generally at the alert level， while Cd was generally at a light pollution level. The proportion of Cd pollution levels was higher than that of Pb and Cr， and the difference was statistically significant（χ²=15.015， P=0.001）. The Nemerow comprehensive pollution index in different townships ranged from 0.70 to 2.07， with a median value of 1.10， and was generally at a light pollution level. The potential ecological hazard risk of Cd was relatively high， and was generally at a mild level of hazard. The highest contribution rate in the comprehensive potential ecological hazard index was Cd， accounting for 84.1%. ConclusionThere is a certain degree of Cd pollution and mild ecological risk in rural soils of Wanzhou District. Monitoring and management of Cd pollution in rural soils of Wanzhou District， Chongqing Municipality， should be strengthened.
