Objective: To analyze the effects of maternal gestational weight gain and pre pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on the weight of preschool children,so as to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity in children. Methods: Based on Jiangmen maternal and child health information platform, annual physical examination data of 3-6 years old preschool children from all nurseries and kindergartens in Jiangmen were collected from January to December 2024. A unique identification was made according to the mother s ID number and delivery date, and retrospective data collection was conducted on the platform to obtain pre pregnancy and pregnancy related information for 46 481 mothers. The Chi-square test,two way ordered variable analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to compare the effects of maternal pre pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain on overweight and obesity among preschool children. Results: A total of 5 168 (11.12%) children were overweight and obese, and the proportion of overweight and obesity in the 6 year old group was the highest (12.86%). There were significant differences in the detection rates of overweight and obesity between boys and girls ( χ 2=155.38), and there were also significant gender differences in the age groups of 4, 5 and 6 years ( χ 2=17.08, 96.97, 66.27)(all P <0.01). Through trend χ 2 test, the overall detection rates of overweight and obesity, as well as those for boys, increased with age ( χ 2 trend =49.36,60.54, both P <0.01). The BMI group of preschool children was correlated with the BMI group of their mothers before pregnancy and the weight gain group during pregnancy （χ 2= 1 250.64, 157.01, both P <0.01) and the proportion of children with higher BMI levels showed an upward trend with the improvement of their mothers pre-pregnancy BMI levels or gestational weight gain levels ( Gamma =0.13, 0.10, both P <0.01). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that pre pregnancy BMI groups as overweight ( OR =1.590, 1.922), obesity ( OR =2.100, 2.921 ), and male gender of the children ( OR =1.213, 1.763)，and newborns excessive birth weight( OR =1.001，1.001) increased the risks of overweight and obesity in preschool children; maternal gestational weight gain insufficiency ( OR =1.374) and advanced maternal age at the first prenatal visit ( OR =1.012) increased the risks of obesity in preschool children; maternal gestational weight gain deficiency or excess ( OR =1.324,1.118) increased the risk of overweight in preschool children (all P <0.01). Conclusions Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity and insufficient or excessive gestational weight gain increase the risk of overweight and obesity in preschool children. It is necessary to strengthen weight management before and during pregnancy to reduce the occurrence of childhood overweight and obesity.

ObjectiveTo explore the application effects of environmentally friendly reagents versus traditional reagents in tissue processing， paraffin sectioning， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， special staining， and immunohistochemistry. MethodsPancreatic， renal， splenic， hepatic， pulmonary， skeletal muscle， and cardiac tissues were collected from mice and New Zealand rabbits， and randomly divided into a traditional group （Group A）， an environmentally friendly reagent I group （Group B）， and an environmentally friendly reagent Ⅱ group （Group C）. The processed tissue sections from all three groups were subjected to paraffin sections， HE staining， phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining， and Mallory trichrome staining. The pancreatic tissue sections were subjected to immunohistochemical detection of insulin protein. Evaluation criteria included tissue morphological integrity， embedding operability， section quality， and staining effects. ResultsNo significant differences were observed among the three groups of samples in terms of fixation efficacy， embedding operations， and section quality. After HE staining， all groups exhibited bright nuclear and cytoplasmic staining with clear contrast， with excellent-and-good rates of 98%， 99%， and 97% for Groups A， B， and C， respectively， showing no statistically significant differences （A vs. B， P=0.561； A vs. C， P=0.651）. In phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining， Groups A and C showed clear structural contrast and bright staining for striated muscle and collagen fibers， whereas Group B exhibited uneven staining. The excellent-and-good rates were 100%， 10%， and 95% for Groups A， B， and C， respectively， with significant differences between Group A and Group B （P＜0.01） but no statistical difference between Group A and Group C （P=0.311）. In Mallory trichrome staining， Groups A and B outperformed Group C. The excellent-and-good rates were 95%， 90%， and 15% for Groups A， B， and C， respectively， with significant differences between Group A and Group C （P＜0.01）， but no statistical difference between Group A and Group B （P=0.548）. Immunohistochemical results showed that Group A had a clean background with no non-specific staining， while Groups B and C exhibited significant non-specific staining， with statistically significant differences in non-specific staining rates between the groups （A vs. B， 5% vs. 100%， P＜0.01； A vs. C， 5% vs.100%， P＜0.01）. ConclusionIn HE staining， environmentally friendly reagents demonstrated effective tissue fixation and staining results comparable to traditional reagents， meeting the teaching requirements. For special staining， Group B and Group C performed better in Mallory trichrome staining and phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining， respectively. However， environmentally friendly reagents exhibited non-specific staining issues in immunohistochemistry， where further optimization is required.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and aesthetic outcome of liposuction combined with mammary adenectomy through a periareolar small incision in the management of gynecomastia(GYN).Methods From January 2019 to June 2023,18 patients with GYN were admitted.All of them were treated with small incision through the areola combined with liposuction.The postoperative aesthetic effect,occurrence of complications and patient satisfaction of the patients were evaluated.Results All 18 patients in this study were follwed up for a period of 3 to 18 months.No serious complications such as wound infection or necrosis of the nipple-areola occurred.Pathological examinations were consistent with the diagnosis of GYN.Except for one patient,who exhibited slight skin folds in the surgical area at the 12-month follow-up,the other patients all achieved symmetrical and smooth chest contours with noticeable aesthetic improvement,resulting in a 100％patient satisfaction rate.Conclusion The combined approach of liposuction combined with mammary adenectomy through a periareolar small incision for the treatment of GYN is straightforward,minimally invasive,and yields satisfactory therapeutic and aesthetic outcomes.

AIM:To investigate the potential mechanism of neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs)in the pla-centa during the pathogenesis of preeclampsia(PE).METHODS:Differential neutrophil infiltration in PE versus normo-tensive placentas was assessed using placental transcriptome sequencing data.Single-cell sequencing analysis of GSE173193 dataset was conducted to evaluate the expression of NETs formation-related genes in neutrophils from PE pla-centa and control placenta.Immunofluorescence and ELISA were used to measure NETs levels in placental tissues.Fol-lowing NETs generation and treatment of human extravillous trophoblast(EVT)HTR8/Svneo strain with NETs,RNA se-quencing was utilized to identify potential signaling pathways through which NETs regulate trophoblast function.RE-SULTS:Neutrophil infiltration,and expression of NETs formation critical genes,MPO(myeloperoxidase)and ELANE(elastase,neutrophil expressed),in neutrophils were significantly increased in PE placentas compared with controls.The level of NETs was elevated in PE placentas as well.The NETs significantly inhibited the migration of HTR8/Svneo cells.Disrupted F-actin arrangement,aggregate formation,and reduced paxillin expression were observed in NETs-treated HTR8/Svneo cells.Single-cell sequencing analysis revealed that focal adhesion and stress fiber pathways were down-regu-lated in the EVT of PE placenta.CONCLUSION:Neutrophil infiltration and NETs formation were increased in PE.The NETs may inhibit EVT migration by inducing stress fiber disassembly and down-regulating paxillin expression,thereby dis-rupting cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion formation.

In recent decades,the incidence of human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)has shown a marked increase.Significant changes have also occurred in the OPSCC diagnosis and treatment paradigm.Deter-mining HPV status prior to treatment is now essential,and radiotherapy/chemotherapy,immunotherapy,and minimally invasive surgical techniques have progressively emerged as key modalities for managing OPSCC.However,alongside these paradigm shifts,a comprehen-sive technical consensus guiding the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process for OPSCC patients is currently lacking.Given China's large population base and the rising incidence of OPSCC,an expert panel convened to develop a clinical technical consensus on OPSCC diagno-sis and management tailored to China's specific context.This consensus aims to further enhance and standardize understanding of OPSCC management techniques among relevant healthcare professionals.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP12 on obe-sity prevention.In our study,Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP12 was added to the diet for feed-ing,and the blood biochemistry status of rabbit,as well as the antioxidant effect of serum and liver samples were analyzed by determining the body weight change and feed intake of Japanese White rabbits.The changes in colony structure and abundance were also analyzed by 16S rDNA sequen-cing.The results showed that supplementation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP12 inhibits weight gain,decreases serum glucose and ALT levels,and increases SOD activity in the liver.16S RNA gene sequencing analysis showed that the addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP12 increases the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Desulfovibrioides at the phylum level,and the supple-mentation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP12 increases the abundance of Muribaculaceae at the genus level.Predictive analysis of microbiota function revealed that the supplementation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP12 positively regulated iron-sulfur clusters and Zn-dependent proteases.In conclusion,the addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum effectively inhibits weight gain in Japanese White rabbits,enhances the antioxidative activity of the liver,and induces altera-tions in the gut microbiota composition of these rabbits.These findings lay an experimental foun-dation for further exploring the mechanisms by which Lactobacillus plantarum LP12 exerts its preventive effects against obesity and promotes metabolic health.

Objective:To compare and analyze the efficacy of bilateral and unilateral posterior vocal cord resection with CO 2 laser under endoscopy in the treatment of bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Methods:This case series study retrospectively analyzed the data of 110 patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis who underwent endoscopic CO 2 laser posterior cordotomy at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, from October 2016 to January 2023. The cohort consisted of 36 males [mean age (45.5±9.1) years, range 24-72 years] and 74 females [mean age (47.2±10.1) years, range 22-67 years]. Among them, 47 patients underwent simultaneous bilateral posterior cordotomy (bilateral cordotomy group), while 63 patients underwent unilateral posterior cordotomy (unilateral cordotomy group). Pre-and postoperative indicators, including swallowing function, glottal size, and vocal function (subjective and objective assessments), were compared between the two surgical approaches. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze changes in swallowing function, glottal size, and vocal function (subjective and objective assessments) within each group before and after surgery, whereas the Mann-Whitney U test was utilized to assess differences between groups. Results:Postoperative follow-up was 1-5 years [median follow-up time was 1.6 (1.3, 2.0) years].The one-time extubation rate was 71.4%(45/63)in the unilateral posterior vocal cord resection group and 87.2%(41/47)in the bilateral posterior vocal cord resection group, significantly higher in the bilateral group ( χ2=3.94, P<0.05). One week after surgery, the swallowing function score of unilateral cordotomy group was 2 (1, 2.5) points, which was significantly better than that of bilateral cordotomy group [2 (1.5, 3) points, Z=-2.118, P<0.05], and the swallowing function score of both groups returned to normal 3 months after surgery. There were no significant differences in preoperative glottic closure during inhalation, auditory perceptual evaluation (GRBAS), objective voice analysis, and Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) between the two groups ( P>0.05). Postoperatively, the maximum transverse diameter of the posterior glottis during inspiration in the unilateral cordotomy group was 4.49 (4.24, 4.77) mm, significantly smaller than that in the bilateral cordotomy group, which was 5.05 (4.52, 5.62) mm ( Z=-4.103, P<0.05). Among the GRBAS parameters, G (grade of hoarseness), B (breathiness), and A (asthenia), as well as VHI-10 scores and objective voice analysis parameters [jitter, shimmer, harmonic-noise ratio (HNR), and maximum phonation time (MPT)], were significantly better in the unilateral cordotomy group compared to the bilateral cordotomy group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Unilateral posterior vocal cord resection using CO 2 laser is simple and feasible for the treatment of bilateral vocal cord paralysis, with shorter recovery time, maximal preservation of laryngeal phonatory function, and fewer complications compared to bilateral resection. However, the one-time extubation rate is higher with bilateral resection, reducing the need for a second surgery and associated patient discomfort. This study offers guidance for clinical decision-making in the surgical management of bilateral vocal cord paralysis.

Objective Maternal-and-child health(MCH)hospitals simultaneously provide clinical care and manage community-based public-health projects for women and children.We aimed to design and test a performance-based salary and e-valuation system that recognizes this dual responsibility and incentivizes high-quality public-health work.Methods Aligned with the national tertiary-level MCH-hospital performance appraisal standards and local project realities,we applied four industrial-en-gineering techniques—empirical time-and-motion estimation,classification,analogy and work-study—to convert every public-health project into quantifiable modules with pre-set labor-hour quotas.Bonuses were calculated under"more work,more pay"and"increment incentive"rules,while appraisal covered two dimensions:(ⅰ)project-specific indicators(coverage,timeliness,completeness)and(ⅱ)outcome evaluation(health impact and user satisfaction).Performance pay was then approved and dis-tributed to staff responsible for project management.Results Analysis of the 2022-2024 implementation period showed clear gains:① Work-force mobilization:departments managing MCH projects grew from 17 to 22 and staff from 22 to 73;all core pro-ject indicators improved significantly.② Service expansion:valid service volume generated by jurisdiction-level MCH project ac-tivities rose by 62.31％.Conclusion The scientific,standardized and operable performance and evaluation system for maternity and child projects developed in this study can help effectively improve the management efficiency of maternity and child projects in the jurisdiction and promote the high-quality development of the hospital.

At present, there is no effective drug treatment for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). It is usually treated by mechanical ventilation through a ventilator. In this paper, a non-invasive bi-level breathing therapy system suitable for home scenarios is developed. The system supports single-level and bi-level positive airway pressure therapies, and introduces the function of inspiratory synchronous trigger based on flow monitoring to enhance the synchrony of patient-ventilator synchronization. The test results show that the performance indicators of the system meet expectations. Each ventilation mode can operate normally and can meet the requirements for the use of home non-invasive ventilators.
