Objective: To identify the effective needs of college students for dietary nutrition health education content, so as to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the health education strategies in colleges. Methods: The literature analysis method, focus group interviews and Delphi expert consultation method were used to construct a survey questionnaire on dietary nutrition health education for college students. From January to March 2024, a total of 597 college students from six colleges in Shandong Province were selected through convenience sampling to complete the questionnaire independently by scanning the two dimensional code on questionnaire star. The Kano model was used to define the content demands of college students for dietary nutrition education, and the differences in demands were analyzed by calculating satisfied influence (SI) and dissatisfied influence (DSI). Results: The compiled questionnaire was divided into 7 dimensions and 25 items. The overall demand level analysis of college students included 3 essential attribute demands, namely, the recommended intake and various forms of dairy products (34.17%), the role of whole grains in health with their scientific intake forms and recommended amounts (31.99%), and the intake of beans (30.15%); 7 expected attribute demands included the introduction of recommended intensity of different activities (35.01%), how to achieve a healthy weight and the balance between diet and exercise (41.54%), the energy consumed by different exercises in a unit of time ( 38.36 %), the selection of healthy snacks (36.68%), the types of infectious diseases of the digestive system and how to prevent and control them (25.96%), the causes and judgments with manifestations of nutrition related diseases among college students ( 28.14 %), and the hotspots of attention on nutrition related diseases among college students (24.46%); 4 attractive attribute demands contained the introduction of the recommended activity levels for different periods such as daily and weekly (28.81%), the introduction of the importance of activities and the harm of prolonged sitting and ways to avoid it (28.64%), the nutritional value of animal foods and eating suggestions (23.45%), and the scientific intake suggestions for various processed animal foods (22.11%); the remaining were 11 attribute demands with no differences. In the quadrant diagram analysis, the demand items located in the maintenance zone, competitive advantage zone, improvement zone, and minor improvement zone were 5, 5, 8, and 7, respectively. Conclusions College students have different demands in dietary nutrition health education, and whether these demands are met affects their satisfaction in different ways. Among them, education on the intake of dairy products, whole grains, and beans has the greatest impact on satisfaction.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the potential molecular biological mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction in treating hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology and preliminarily verify the mechanism through animal experiments. MethodsThe active ingredients and targets in the Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction were obtained by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） and ETCM databases. The DisGeNET and GeneCards databases were utilized to acquire disease targets associated with hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis. These disease targets were then intersected with drug targets to identify key targets. The R language ClusterProfiler package and Python were employed for conducting gene ontology（GO） enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） enrichment analysis. The regulatory network diagram of the drug-key target-function-pathway was visualized using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software， and the protein-protein interaction （PPI） network for key targets was depicted. Finally， the hub gene was determined through topological analysis. Auto Dock， PyMOL， and other software were used for molecular docking to explore the possible therapeutic mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction for hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis. In animal experiments， a composite rat model of hyperuricemia induced by intraperitoneal injection of oteracil potassium combined with gouty arthritis induced by the modified Coderre method was established. Through hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， uric acid test， enzyme linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）， Western blot， and real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）， the molecular mechanism and key targets of Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction for treating hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis were observed. ResultsAfter screening and removing duplicate values， 76 active ingredients and 15 key targets were finally obtained. GO enrichment analysis yielded that the treatment of hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis with Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction was significantly associated with acute inflammatory response， astrocyte activation， regulation of interleukin （IL）-8 production， nuclear receptor activity， and binding of growth factor receptor. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis obtained that the key target genes were significantly associated with the IL-17 signaling pathway， advanced glycosylation end/receptor of advanced glycation endproducts（AGE/RAGE） signaling pathway， anti-inflammatory， and other pathways. PPI network indicated that albumin（ALB）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ （PPAR-γ）， IL-6， IL-1β， and C-reactive protein（CRP） were the key protein targets. The molecular docking results showed that ALB had the strongest binding force with beta-carotene （β-carotene）. Biochemical results showed that blood uric acid decreased in the Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction groups. HE staining results showed that the low-dose （7.76 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， medium-dose （15.53 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and high-dose （31.05 g·kg^-1·d^-1） groups of Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction had different degrees of remission， and the remission of the high-dose group was the most obvious. Fibroblastic tissue hyperplasia in synovial joints accompanied with inflammatory cell infiltration， as well as inflammatory cell infiltration in renal tissue of the high-dose group was significantly reduced， followed by the medium-dose and low-dose groups， and the expression of ALB， PPAR-γ， IL-6， IL-1β， and CRP was down-regulated to different degrees. ConclusionBy regulating the targets such as ALB， PPAR-γ， IL-6， IL-1β， and CRP， inhibiting the PPAR-γ/nuclear transcription factor （NF）-κB pathway， and reducing AGEs/RAGE-mediated inflammation， Buyang Huanwu Tongfeng decoction exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and activates blood circulation and diuresis in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis.

The present study aimed to explore whether hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) improved hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in rats by inhibiting aerobic glycolysis-pyroptosis. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal group, normal+NaHS group, hypoxia group, and hypoxia+NaHS group, with 6 rats in each group. The control group rats were placed in a normoxic (21% O₂) environment and received daily intraperitoneal injections of an equal volume of normal saline. The normal+NaHS group rats were placed in a normoxic environment and intraperitoneally injected with 14 μmol/kg NaHS daily. The hypoxia group rats were placed in a hypoxia chamber, and the oxygen controller inside the chamber maintained the oxygen concentration at 9% to 10% by controlling the N₂ flow rate. An equal volume of normal saline was injected intraperitoneally every day. The hypoxia+NaHS group rats were also placed in an hypoxia chamber and intraperitoneally injected with 14 μmol/kg NaHS daily. After the completion of the four-week modeling, the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of each group was measured using right heart catheterization technique, and the right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI) was weighed and calculated. HE staining was used to observe pathological changes in lung tissue, Masson staining was used to observe fibrosis of lung tissue, and Western blot was used to detect protein expression levels of hexokinase 2 (HK2), pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2), nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), GSDMD-N-terminal domain (GSDMD-N), Caspase-1, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 in lung tissue. ELISA was used to detect contents of IL-1β and IL-18 in lung tissue. The results showed that, compared with the normal control group, there were no significant changes in all indexes in the normal+NaHS group, while the hypoxia group exhibited significantly increased mPAP and RVHI, thickened pulmonary vascular wall, narrowed lumen, increased collagen fibers, up-regulated expression levels of aerobic glycolysis-related proteins (HK2 and PKM2), up-regulated expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, GSDMD-N, Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18), and increased contents of IL-1β and IL-18. These changes of the above indexes in the hypoxia group were significantly reversed by NaHS. These results suggest that H₂S can improve rat HPH by inhibiting aerobic glycolysis-pyroptosis.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) load in different lymphocyte subsets, as well as clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies experiencing EBV reactivation. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples from patients were collected. B, T, and NK cells were isolated sorting with magnetic beads by flow cytometry. The EBV load in each subset was quantitated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Clinical data were colleted from electronic medical records. Survival status was followed up through outpatient visits and telephone calls. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0. RESULTS: A total of 39 patients with hematologic malignancies were included, among whom 35 patients had undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The median time to EBV reactivation was 4.8 months (range: 1.7-57.1 months) after allo-HSCT. EBV was detected in B, T, and NK cells in 20 patients, in B and T cells in 11 patients, and only in B cells in 4 patients. In the 35 patients, the median EBV load in B cells was 2.19×10⁴ copies/ml, significantly higher than that in T cells (4.00×10³ copies/ml, P <0.01) and NK cells (2.85×10² copies/ml, P <0.01). Rituximab (RTX) was administered for 32 patients, resulting in EBV negativity in 32 patients with a median time of 8 days (range: 2-39 days). Post-treatment analysis of 13 patients showed EBV were all negative in B, T, and NK cells. In the four non-transplant patients, the median time to EBV reactivation was 35 days (range: 1-328 days) after diagnosis of the primary disease. EBV was detected in one or two subsets of B, T, or NK cells, but not simultaneously in all three subsets. These patients received a combination chemotherapy targeting at the primary disease, with 3 patients achieving EBV negativity, and the median time to be negative was 40 days (range: 13-75 days). CONCLUSION In hematologic malignancy patients after allo-HSCT, EBV reactivation commonly involves B, T, and NK cells, with a significantly higher viral load in B cells compared to T and NK cells. Rituximab is effective for EBV clearance. In non-transplant patients, EBV reactivation is restricted to one or two lymphocyte subsets, and clearance is slower, highlighting the need for prompt anti-tumor therapy.

Objective To investigate the association between the variability of remnant cholesterol inflammatory index(RCII),a novel composite biomarker,and the risk of stroke,in order to provide a theoretical basis for stroke prevention.Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted on 38 659 Kailuan individuals who took annual physical examinations in 2006,2008,and 2010.These subjects were grouped based on the quartiles of RCII variability,which was represented by standard deviation(SD)and average real variability(ARV),and were followed up every 2 years,with the occurrence of stroke(including ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes),death,or the end of follow-up on December 31,2022 as the endpoints.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence rate of endpoint events across different groups,and log-rank test was used to compare the difference of cumulative incidence of endpoint events in each group.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was adopted to analyze the association between RCII variability and risk of stroke.Results Among the 38 659 participants,a total of 2 539 strokes occurred during a mean follow-up period of 11.22±2.26 years.After adjusting confounding factors,when the participants were grouped by the quartiles of RCII-SD,the hazard ratio(HR)for stroke was 1.034(95%CI:0.917～1.167,P=0.584),1.146(95%CI:1.018～1.290,P=0.025),and 1.209(95%CI:1.066～1.370,P=0.003),respectively in the Q2,Q3,and Q4 groups,when compared with the Q1 group(Ptrend<0.05).When they were grouped by the quartiles of RCII-ARV,the HR for stroke was 1.008(95%CI:0.894～1.136,P=0.901),1.109(95%CI:0.986～1.248,P=0.085),and 1.152(95%CI:1.018～1.303,P=0.025),respectively,in the Q2,Q3,and Q4 groups,when compared with the Q1 group.Furthermore,both sensitivity and stratified analyses yielded similar results.Conclusion RCII variability is significantly associated with stroke,and the risk of stroke is gradually increasing with increment of the variability.Countermeasures Relevant authorities can focus on reducing RCII variability as a central objective by establishing regular monitoring mechanism,strengthening lifestyle interventions,and standardizing dietary,exercise,and weight management in order to suppress the index fluctuations.The principle of stable lipid-lowering in medication and optimization of therapeutic regimens with stable efficacy should be emphasized to prevent the risk of additional vascular damage.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of maxillary distraction osteogenesis (DO) and Le FortⅠ osteotomy (LFⅠ) in patients with complex cleft lip and palate.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted, clinical data were collected involving patients with complex cleft lip and palate who required combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment and were treated at the Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to December 2022. Patients were divided into three groups based on the surgical method used for the maxilla: total maxillary distraction (TMD, group A), anterior maxillary distraction (AMD, group B), and Le Fort Ⅰ osteotomy (LFⅠ, group C). Cone-beam CT scans and lateral cephalograms were obtained preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. Three-dimensional reconstructions were performed using Mimics 21.0 and Dolphin Imaging 11.9 software to evaluate changes in craniofacial morphology and airway. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0. Intragroup comparisons before and after surgery were performed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, and intergroup comparisons among the three groups were conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results:A total of 15 patients were included, with 5 patients in each group. The cohort comprised 8 males and 7 females, aged between 15 and 21 years. There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of gender, age, or cleft lip and palate classification among the three groups ( P>0.05). Postoperatively, all three groups showed improvement in maxillary hypoplasia. Compared to preoperative measurements, the angle formed by the points A (subspinale), N (nasion), and B (supramentale) (ANB angle) increased in all three groups (all P<0.05). The vertical distance from point A to the nasion perpendicular (A-Nperp) increased in groups A and B ( P<0.05 for both) but not in group C ( P>0.05). The area of the alveolar gap showed an increasing trend in all three groups ( P>0.05). The mandibular plane angle (FMA) decreased postoperatively in group B but showed an increasing trend in the other two groups, though the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Postoperative airway volume increased or showed an increasing trend in groups A ( P<0.05) and B ( P>0.05) but decreased in group C ( P>0.05). Intergroup comparisons showed significant differences in the angle formed by the sella (S), nasion (N), and point A (SNA angle) and the vertical distance from the anterior nasal spine to the coronal plane (ANS-CP) ( P<0.05). Group A had significantly larger SNA angles and ANS-CP values than group B, and the ANS-CP value in group A was significantly larger than in group C (all P<0.05). There were no other statistically significant differences among the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia due to complex cleft lip and palate, TMD can correct sagittal discrepancies between the upper and lower jaws, increase upper airway volume, but may potentially enlarge the alveolar gap area and increase vertical height of the maxilla. AMD result in less change in maxillary position compared to TMD and is mainly used for patients with severe maxillary dental crowding, needing increased arch length, having minor sagittal discrepancies, or with preexisting velopharyngeal dysfunction. LFⅠ result in changes in maxillary position similar to AMD but less than TMD, making it suitable for patients with moderate maxillary hypoplasia and mild maxillary dental crowding. The advantage of LFⅠ lies in its precise postoperative occlusal design and accurate three-dimensional movement of the jaw.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which fragile X mental retardation protein(FMRP)regulates ferroptosis evasion in colorectal cancer(CRC)cells.Methods We examined FMRP expression levels in CRC cell lines using RT-qPCR and Western blotting and analyzed the biological functions and signaling pathways involved in FMRP-mediated regulation of CRC progression using the TCGA database.A lentiviral FMRP overexpression vector(Lv-FMRP)and 3 knockdown vectors(siFMRP-1,siFMRP-2,and siFMRP-3)were constructed,and their effects on proliferation of HCT116 cells were examined using CCK8 assay and plate clone formation assay;the changes in cell ferroptosis level was determined using MDA/ROS/GSH/Fe2+kits,mitochondrial membrane potential changes were detected using JC-1 fluorescence staining,and the expressions of proteins associated with ferroptosis and the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway were detected using Western blotting.The subcutaneous tumorigenic potential of the transfected cells was evaluated in nude mice.Results Compared with normal colonic mucosal epithelial NCM460 cells,the CRC cell lines had significantly higher FMRP expression level.Bioinformatics analysis suggested the involvement of FMRP in regulation of reactive oxygen,oxidative stress-induced cell death,mitochondrial respiration,and glutathione metabolism pathways.In the cell experiments,FMRP knockdown significantly inhibited proliferation of HCT116 cells,lowered cellular GSH content,increased MDA and ROS levels,Fe2+fluorescence intensity,and mitochondrial membrane potential,and decreased SLC7A11/GPX4 protein expressions and the phosphorylation levels of ERK,MEK,MAPK,and RAS proteins;FMRP overexpression resulted in the opposite changes in the cells.In the tumor-bearing nude mice,HCT116 cells with FMRP knockdown showed attenuated tumorigenic potential with lowered xenograft growth rate and reduced SLC7A11 expression in the xenograft.Conclusion The high expression of FMRP inhibits ferroptosis in CRC cells and promotes progression of CRC by activating the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway.
