Objective:To examine the correlation between small, dense low-density lipoprotein(sdLDL)and the risk of new-onset chronic kidney disease(CKD)among Middle-aged and elderly adults in China.Methods:Our data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS).A Bayesian kernel regression(BKMR)model was employed to evaluate the impacts of both multiple and single lipids on the risk of CKD.The relative significance of each single lipid on the outcome was determined using the posterior inclusion probability(PIP).The correlation between baseline sdLDL and CKD risk was assessed using binary logistic regression, with subgroup analyses conducted based on gender, age, smoking status and other factors.The marginal effect analysis of interaction terms was utilized to investigate the moderating effect of hypertension on the relationship between sdLDL and the risk of CKD.Finally, propensity score matching was applied for sensitivity analysis.Results:The cohort study included 6, 971 elderly adults.The risk of CKD was significantly higher when all lipid levels[Triglycerides(TG), Total Cholesterol(TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein(LDL), High-Density Lipoprotein(HDL), and sdLDL]were at or above the 60th percentile, as compared to when they were at the 50th percentile.Among these lipids, sdLDL showed the highest posterior inclusion probability(PIP=0.989).The study population was divided into four subgroups based on sdLDL quartiles.Individuals in the Q4 group had an 89% higher risk of developing CKD compared to those in the Q1 group 89%( OR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.33-2.68, P<0.001), and for each quartile interval increase in sdLDL, the risk of CKD increased by 48%( OR=1.48; 95% CI: 1.24-1.76, P<0.001).A multivariable restricted cubic spline(RCS)analysis showed a significant dose-response relationship between sdLDL and the risk of CKD.Subgroup analysis and interaction tests revealed that the impact of sdLDL on CKD incidence was consistent across groups by gender, age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and presence of diabetes( P for interaction >0.05).A significant interaction between the presence of hypertension and sdLDL levels was identified( P for interaction=0.002).The marginal effect analysis of interaction terms showed that the mean marginal effect of interaction terms became insignificant when sdLDL ≥1.25 mmol/L. Conclusions:Our findings suggest that dyslipidemia contributes to the development of CKD in middle-aged and elderly individuals, among which sdLDL shows the strongest correlation with the risk of CKD and acts as an independent risk factor.Furthermore, hypertension modulates the impact of sdLDL on the risk of CKD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism by which esketamine improves postoperative cognitive impairment in rats with hip fracture based on the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/silencing information regulatory factor 1 (SIRT1)/ peroxisome proliferator activated-receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) signaling pathway. METHODS Rats with hip fracture surgery were assigned into model group, esketamine group (10 mg/kg), inhibitor group (250 μg/mL AMPK inhibitor Compound C), and esketamine+inhibitor group (10 mg/kg esketamine + 250 μg/mL Compound C), and rats undergoing sham surgery were used as the control group, with 12 rats in each group. New object recognition and Barnes maze experiments were used to E-mail:448231@163.com evaluate cognitive function in rats. The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β),superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), dopamine (DA) and glutamate (Glu), and the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons were detected. The pathological morphology of the hippocampal tissue and the ultrastructure of mitochondria were observed. The mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax),the mRNA and protein expression of AMPK, SIRT1 and PGC-1α, as well as the expression of phosphorylated (p)-AMPK in hippocampal tissue, were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the hippocampal neurons in the model group of rats were disordered, with more neurons necrotic and swollen mitochondria;the new object recognition index, the SOD, GABA, DA levels, Bcl-2, AMPK, SIRT1 and PGC-1α mRNA expression levels, and p-AMPK, SIRT1, PGC-1α protein expression levels were significantly reduced, while the latency and number of errors for locating unknown holes, the TNF-α, IL-1β, MDA and Glu levels, neuronal cell apoptosis rate, and Bax mRNA expression levels were significantly increased/prolonged (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the esketamine group showed reduced pathological damage to the hippocampal tissue of rats, and the new object recognition index, the SOD, GABA and DA levels, the Bcl-2, AMPK, SIRT1 and PGC-1α mRNA expression levels, and p-AMPK, SIRT1, PGC-1α protein expression levels were significantly increased,while the latency and error frequency for locating unknown holes, TNF-α, IL-1β, MDA and Glu levels, neuronal cell apoptosis rate, and Bax mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05);the inhibitor group showed the opposite trend of changes in these indicators compared to the esketamine group (P<0.05).AMPK inhibitor could reverse the improvement effect of esketamine on the above indicators after hip fracture surgery in rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Esketamine may improve postoperative inflammatory response and oxidative stress levels in rats with hip fracture by activating the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway, inhibiting neuronal cell apoptosis, improving mitochondrial structure, and promoting postoperative cognitive function recovery.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the antioxidant and osteogenic induction capabilities of calcium phosphate nanoflowers (hereinafter referred to as nanoflowers) in vitro at different concentrations.
METHODS:
Nanoflowers were prepared using gelatin, tripolyphosphate, and calcium chloride. Their morphology, microstructure, elemental composition and distribution, diameter, and molecular constitution were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Femurs and tibias were harvested from twelve 4-week-old Sprague Dawley rats, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated and cultured using the whole bone marrow adherent method, followed by passaging. The third passage cells were identified as stem cells by flow cytometry and then co-cultured with nanoflowers at concentrations of 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 2.8, 3.2, and 3.6 mg/mL. Cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay was performed to screen for the optimal concentration that demonstrated the best cell viability, which was subsequently used as the experimental concentration for further studies. After co-culturing BMSCs with the screened concentration of nanoflowers, the biocompatibility of the nanoflowers was verified through live/dead cell staining, scratch assay, and cytoskeleton staining. The antioxidant capacity was assessed by using reactive oxygen species (ROS) fluorescence staining. The in vitro osteoinductive ability was evaluated via alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining, and immunofluorescence staining of osteocalcin (OCN) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). All the above indicators were compared with the control group of normally cultured BMSCs without the addition of nanoflowers.
RESULTS:
Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the prepared nanoflowers exhibited a flower-like structure; transmission electron microscopy scans discovered that the nanoflowers possessed a multi-layered structure, and high-magnification images displayed continuous atomic arrangements, with the nanoflower diameter measuring (2.00±0.25) μm; energy-dispersive spectroscopy indicated that the nanoflowers contained elements such as C, N, O, P, and Ca, which were uniformly distributed across the flower region; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyzed the absorption peaks of each component, demonstrating the successful preparation of the nanoflowers. Through CCK-8 screening, the concentrations of 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 mg/mL were selected for subsequent experiments. The live/dead cell staining showed that nanoflowers at different concentrations exhibited good cell compatibility, with the 1.2 mg/mL concentration being the best (P<0.05). The scratch assay results indicated that the cell migration ability in the 1.2 mg/mL group was superior to the other groups (P<0.05). The cytoskeleton staining revealed that the cell morphology was well-extended in all concentration groups, with no significant difference compared to the control group. The ROS fluorescence staining demonstrated that the ROS fluorescence in all concentration groups decreased compared to the control group after lipopolysaccharide induction (P<0.05), with the 1.2 mg/mL group showing the weakest fluorescence. The ALP staining showed blue-purple nodular deposits around the cells in all groups, with the 1.2 mg/mL group being significantly more prominent. The alizarin red staining displayed orange-red mineralized nodules around the cells in all groups, with the 1.2 mg/mL group having more and denser nodules. The immunofluorescence staining revealed that the expressions of RUNX2 and OCN proteins in all concentration groups increased compared to the control group, with the 1.2 mg/mL group showing the strongest protein expression (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The study successfully prepares nanoflowers, among which the 1.2 mg/mL nanoflowers exhibits excellent cell compatibility, antioxidant properties, and osteogenic induction capability, demonstrating their potential as an artificial bone substitute material.

Objective:
To understand the status and related knowledge requirements of health emergency literacy among college students in Shaanxi Province, so as to provide the basis for improving college students health emergency literacy.
Methods:
A total of 2 723 students from 18 colleges and universities in Shaanxi Province were selected by multi stage random sampling and simple random sampling methods in November 2023, and the survey of health literacy in emergency and knowledge requirements of health emergency literacy was conducted. Statistical analysis was carried out by using χ 2 test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis H test and Logistic regression analysis.
Results:
About 28.98% of the surveyed college students had a high level of health emergency literacy, which varied by students whether being only one child, whether having left behind experience, with different personality types, whether being student cadres, and with different frequencies of community or social activities ( χ 2=9.15, 7.90, 32.73, 16.29 , 120.25, P <0.05). The equivalence scores of the four dimensions of health emergency literacy from high to low were poisoning and nuclear and radiation (0.84), medical rescue (0.83), infectious disease (0.82), and basic knowledge and behavior ( 0.77 ). Logistic regression analysis found that college students with left-behind experience were negatively correlated with health emergency literacy and its four dimensions ( OR =0.74, 0.72, 0.80, 0.80, 0.83), while personality type (rational type), community or social activity frequency were positively correlated with the cognitive levels of health emergency literacy and its four dimensions among college students ( OR =1.57, 1.50, 1.33, 1.27, 1.38)( P <0.05). There was a higher level of basic knowledge and behavioral cognition among only child college students ( OR =3.73), and female students had a higher level of health emergency literacy, as well as awareness of infectious disease outbreaks and medical rescue ( OR =1.21, 1.28, 1.21)( P <0.05). The radar map showed that the level of health emergency literacy was positive development radar map. About 67.68 % of the students had a high willingness to acquire health emergency literacy knowledge, and the demand for basic health emergency knowledge and behavioral knowledge was the highest (52.37%).
Conclusions
College students have insufficient health emergency literacy, but they have the highest demand for health emergency. Publicity and education should be strengthened for students with left behind experience, irrational type, and low frequency of community or social activities.

Objective:To understand the incidence of diabetes and influencing factors, the trend of FPG change and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong).Methods:The HIV/AIDS treatment database was collected from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. This retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART in Dehong during 2004-2020.The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the incidence density of diabetes, the influencing factors and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART, mixed linear effects model was used to analyze the trend of FPG change and predict FPG in those with different glucose metabolic status at baseline survey. Statistical analysis was performed using software SAS 9.4.Results:A total of 8 763 HIV-infected individuals were included, in whom 8 432 (96.2%) had no diabetes, 331 had diabetes. The incidence density of diabetes was 2.31/1 000 person years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that 30- 59 years old, BMI ≥24.0 kg/m 2, Efavirenz (EFV) based initial treatment regimen and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) at baseline survey were significantly and positively associated with incidence of diabetes. Mixed effect model revealed that FPG was positively correlated with the duration of ART, age and baseline FPG. Suffering from diabetes was a risk factor for mortality in HIV-infected individuals both at baseline survey and during follow-up. Conclusions:The risk for diabetes increased in HIV-infected individuals who were 30-59 years old, baseline BMI ≥24.0 kg/m 2, received EFV based initial treatment, and IFG in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy in Dehong, 2004-2020. It is important to pay close attention to their blood glucose, and patients with high blood glucose should receive treatment as early as possible.
