Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to provide reference for formulating obesity-related intervention strategies for school-age children. Methods Stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area. The overweight and obesity rate was calculated according to the Chinese health industry standard, and the risk factors of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents of different school age groups were analyzed by logistic regression. Results The overweight and obesity rate (25.3%) of primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area exceeded the national average level. In primary school group, male, sleep time ≥ 8h per day, water intake ≥ 1200 mL per day, and the presence of mobile food stalls around the school were the risk factors for overweight and obesity. Daily extracurricular exercise time of 30 minutes to 2 hours was a protective factor. In junior high school group, male and electronic product use time of ≥ 2h per day were the risk factors for overweight and obesity. The daily extracurricular exercise time of 1 to 2 hours was a protective factor. In high school group, drinking water ≥1200mL per day was a risk factor for overweight and obesity. Eating breakfast every day for the past week was a protective factor. Conclusion Group intervention targeting overweight and obese school-age children, while changing corresponding unhealthy habits according to different school age groups, is crucial for weight loss in school-age children.

Natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for the development of a new generation of antimicrobials to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens. They have found extensive applications in the fields of medicine, food, and agriculture. However, efficiently screening AMPs from natural sources poses several challenges, including low efficiency and high antibiotic resistance. This review focuses on the action mechanisms of AMPs, both through membrane and non-membrane routes. We thoroughly examine various highly efficient AMP screening methods, including whole-bacterial adsorption binding, cell membrane chromatography (CMC), phospholipid membrane chromatography binding, membrane-mediated capillary electrophoresis (CE), colorimetric assays, thin layer chromatography (TLC), fluorescence-based screening, genetic sequencing-based analysis, computational mining of AMP databases, and virtual screening methods. Additionally, we discuss potential developmental applications for enhancing the efficiency of AMP discovery. This review provides a comprehensive framework for identifying AMPs within complex natural product systems.

Objective To establish a standardized diagnostic and treatment pathway for chronic renal failure(CRF)based on a nephrology cluster,providing a reference for the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)diagnosis and treatment of CRF.Methods A TCM diagnostic and treatment proto-col for CRF was developed through cluster construction.A preliminary framework for the standardized diagnostic and treatment pathway of CRF was constructed through literature research.Three rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted among 26 experts.The experts'enthusiasm,authority,co-ordination of opinions,importance ratings,and coefficient of variation were analyzed to ultimately form the standardized diagnostic and treatment pathway for CRF.Results The active coefficients(Caj)for the first,second,and third rounds of expert consultation were 1.000,0.923,and 1.000,respectively.The expert authority coefficients(Cr)were 0.895,0.910,and 0.923,respectively.The overall Kendall's W coefficients were 0.233,0.248,and 0.293(P＜0.001).The final stand-ardized diagnostic and treatment pathway for CRF included 4 primary indicators,19 secondary indica-tors,and 77 tertiary indicators,with mean importance ratings ranging from 4.42 to 4.87 and coeffi-cients of variation ranging from 0.072 to 0.126.Conclusion The standardized diagnostic and treat-ment pathway for CRF established based on a nephrology cluster is highly scientific and reliable,with clear guidance and ease in implementation,providing good guidance for the TCM diagnosis and treat-ment of CRF.

BACKGROUND:There is currently no anatomic locking plate suitable for the anteromedial platform,so the medial locking plate of the tibial plateau is usually placed forward to fix anteromedial compression fractures caused by hyperextension varus injury.Due to the inability of the locking screw to achieve vertical fixation of the fracture line,coupled with the influence of the patellar ligament,the clinical results are still unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVE:To compare the biomechanical performance of a new type of plate with traditional internal fixation methods in treating hyperextension varus tibial plateau fractures through finite element analysis. METHODS:CT data of 20 cases of hyperextension varus tibial plateau fractures were collected,and their morphological characteristics,such as medial posterior tibial slope,the medial articular fracture angle,surface area,and anterior cortical height were measured.A 24-year-old male volunteer with a height of 175 cm and a weight of 65 kg was selected,and his tibial CT data were imported into Mimics 21.0 software to generate a 3D model.Then,internal fixation models were imported into SolidWorks 2017 software.New type of plate,medial locking plate,posterior medial locking plate,and 6.5 mm hollow screws fixed data models were established based on the measured morphological data.Ansys 17.0 software was used to load stress on the four fixation models and compare their biomechanical performance. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of axial load,the peak stresses of different internal fixation models approximately increased proportionally.At 500 N,the peak stress values were as follows:screw group(6.973 7 MPa)

Objective:To apply the best evidence for nutritional management in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) into clinical practice and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Totally 80 CHF patients admitted to the Department of Cardiology at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University from October 2022 to March 2023 and 23 nurses involved in the project were selected by convenience sampling. The 40 CHF patients admitted from October to December 2022 formed the baseline group, while those admitted from January to March 2023 constituted the evidence application group. Evidence-based nursing methods were implemented in four stages: evidence retrieval, current status review, evidence implementation, and effectiveness evaluation. The compliance rates of review indicators, nurses' knowledge of nutritional management for CHF patients, and patient outcomes related to nutrition status and readmission rates were compared before and after evidence-based practice.Results:After evidence-based practice, the compliance rates of review indicators increased from 0-60.87% to 80.00%-100.00%. Nurses' scores on nutritional management knowledge for CHF patients increased significantly from (48.48±13.09) to (91.30±4.82), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The NRS 2002 scores of CHF patients decreased from (3.05±0.50) to (2.10±0.44), MNA-HF scores increased from (18.20±2.64) to (21.24±2.94), and albumin levels increased from (37.33±4.98) g/L to (39.24±3.29) g/L, all with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The 3-month readmission rate for CHF patients in the evidence application group was 10.00% (4/40), significantly lower than the 27.50% (11/40) in the baseline group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based nursing practice for nutritional management in CHF patients can enhance nurses' knowledge, improve patients' nutritional status, reduce readmission rates, and improve the quality of nursing care.

Objective To establish a hypobaric hypoxia rat model in a real high-altitude environment,to investigate the effects of the real high-altitude environment on rat bone mass and bone microstructure using multiple methods such as Micro CT,blood biochemistry,and pathology,and to explore the potential mechanisms involved.Methods Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were transported to the Yushu Plateau Laboratory(at 4250 m above sea level)in Qinghai Province and kept there for 4,or 8,or 18 months.These groups were designated as H-4,H-8,and H-18,respectively.Upon completion of the high-altitude exposure,these animals were transported to the Molecular Imaging Laboratory,West China Hospital,Sichuan University(at 500 m above sea level)in Chengdu for relevant testing and comparison with the control animals raised in a low-altitude environment for the same durations(designated L-4,L-8,and L-18).The tests performed included blood biochemistry,Micro CT imaging,and pathological assessments such as ELISA,Western blot,and HE and TRAP staining.Results Compared with that of the control group,the body mass of rats in the H-4 and H-18 groups decreased significantly(H-4 group vs.L-4 group:[513.75±35.10]g vs.[649.18±60.03]g,P＜0.01;H-18 group vs.L-18 group:[535.58±66.65]g vs.[670.86±44.96]g,P＜0.01).The serum Ca2+concentration was higher in the H-8 group and H-18 group compared to that in the control group(H-8 group vs.L-8 group:[2.48±0.09]mmol/L vs.[2.38±0.07]mmol/L,P＜0.05;H-18 group vs.L-18 group:[2.55±0.11]mmol/L vs.[2.13±0.27]mmol/L,P＜0.05).No statistically significant difference was observed in the concentration of P3+.Bone metabolism indicator cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(CTX-Ⅰ)was significantly increased in all high-altitude groups compared to the low-altitude groups(H-4 group vs.L-4 group:[1.44±0.08]ng/mL vs.[0.70±0.13]ng/mL,P＜0.01;H-8 group vs.L-8 group:[1.52±0.10]ng/mL vs.[0.75±0.10]ng/mL,P＜0.01;H-18 group vs.L-18 group:[2.70±0.13]ng/mL vs.[1.94±0.15]ng/mL,P＜0.01).In addition,CT results showed a decrease in bone volume fraction of trabecular bone in the three high-altitude groups(H-4 group vs.L-4 group:[7.48±2.35]％vs.[10.40±2.93]％,P＜0.05;H-8 group vs.L-8 group:[7.17±2.68]％vs.[10.09±2.95]％,P＜0.05;H-18 group vs.L-18 group:[2.90±2.91]％vs.[8.68±4.11]％,P＜0.01),and increased trabecular separation in the three high-altitude groups(H-4 group vs.L-4 group:[0.70±0.12]mm vs.[0.60±0.06]mm,P＜0.05;H-8 group vs.L-8 group:[0.68±0.07]mm vs.[0.59±0.05]mm,P＜0.01;H-18 group vs.L-18 group:[0.80±0.09]mm vs.[0.70±0.09]mm,P＜0.05).TRAP staining showed an increase in osteoclasts in the H-4 and H-18 groups.Western blot results indicated an increase in the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(RANKL)and hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)in high-altitude environment,while the expression of osteoprotegerin(OPG)was inhibited.Conclusion The impact of high-altitude environment on rat femurs is characterized primarily by a reduction in trabecular bone mass and damage to bone microstructure.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the water extraction process of Maxing kechuan granules. METHODS With the contents of ephedrine hydrochloride， bergenin， prim-O-glucosylcimifugin， 5-O-methylvisamin， naringin and hesperidin and the rate of extraction as the evaluation indexes， the weight was determined by the analytic hierarchy process（APH）-entropy weight method， and the comprehensive score was calculated as the response value. Based on the single-factor test， the Box-Behnken response surface method was used to investigate the factors， and the best water extraction process of Maxing kechuan granules was optimized； process validation was also carried out. RESULTS The best water extraction process of Maxing kechuan granules optimized was as follows： soaking for 40 minutes， adding 8 times water， and extracting for 180 minutes. After three validation tests， the comprehensive score was 94.82 （RSD＝0.96%， n＝3）， which had a small difference from the predicted value of 94.64. CONCLUSIONS The water extraction process of Maxing kechuan granules is stable and reliable， which can provide a reference for the development of the preparation.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and reliability of the Brockport physical fitness test in visually impaired adolescents in China to determine its applicability in clinical practice and research.
