Abstract To improve adolescent health behavior, the study summarizes and analyzes the performance, pathways of transmission, and influencing factors of the intergenerational transmission of adolescent health behaviors from the perspective of intergenerational transmission. The study emphasizes the need to deepen research on the intergenerational transmission of adolescent health behaviors, promote multidisciplinary and cross team collaboration, and shift adolescent health care from individual focused care to a holistic approach that prioritizes family and community culture. Simultaneously, an action framework should be established to block the intergenerational transmission of health risk behaviors, with a focus on childhood and adolescence. Additionally, parent-child participatory health education and health promotion activities should be carried out under a tripartite coordinated intervention model involving the community, school, and family, collectively fostering the development of healthy behaviors among adolescents.

Objective This study aimed to develop and empirically evaluate a sarcopenia management program for lung transplant candidates based on the Transtheoretical Model(TTM).The objective was to improve preopera-tive muscle condition and enhance patients' tolerance to lung transplantation.Methods Using the TTM as the the-oretical framework,the sarcopenia management program was developed through a literature review and 2 rounds of expert consultations.A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit inpatients from the lung transplant department of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between January 2022 and January 2024.Patients admitted between February 2023 and January 2024 were assigned to an intervention group,while those admitted between January 2022 and January 2023 were allocated to a control group.The intervention group received an 8-week sar-copenia management program based on the TTM in addition to standard prehabilitation care,whereas the control group received only standard prehabilitation care.Outcome measurements included pre-and post-intervention com-parisons of the modified Strength,Assistance with Walking,Rise from a Chair,Climb Stairs,Falls,and Calf Circum-ference(SARC-CalF)score,handgrip strength,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),and upper arm circumference,as well as their respective changes before and after the intervention.Additionally,stage-based behavioral change as-sessment and adverse event incidence were compared between the 2 groups.Results A total of 8 patients from the intervention group and 9 from the control group dropped out,resulting in a final sample of 32 patients in the intervention group and 31 in the control group.Compared to the control group,the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in SARC-CalF scores,handgrip strength,6MWD,and upper arm circumference(P＜0.05).After the intervention,the intervention group had a statistically significant difference in behavioral stage tran-sition compared to the control group(P＜0.05).During the intervention process,neither group experienced any ad-verse events.Conclusion The sarcopenia management program based on the TTM effectively improved patient ad-herence,enhanced preoperative muscle condition,and demonstrated potential benefits in improving physical function and nutritional status.

Objective To construct and preliminary verify a postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation nursing programme for children with double lung transplantation,aiming to promote early recovery and provide references for clinical nursing practice.Methods A convenience sampling approach was employed to select 25 cases pediatric patients who underwent bilateral lung transplantation at a tertiary teaching hospital in Hangzhou between January 2020 and September 2024,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the time of admission to the hospital.The experimental group received the newly developed post-transplant rehabilitation nursing program,which encompassed fluid management,mechanical ventilation,sequential oxygen therapy,pulmonary function training,exercise management,and process facilitation.In contrast,the control group received the standard post-lung transplantation rehabilitation protocol.Key outcomes,including mechanical ventilation duration,ICU stay,total hospitalization time,activity level,pulmonary function,incidence of adverse events and rehabilitation adherence,were compared between the 2 groups.Results Finally,24 cases completed the study,including 11 cases in the experimental group and 13 cases in the control group.After the intervention,the experimental group exhibited significantly shorter mechanical ventilation time compared to it in the control group(P=0.009).Additionally,at discharge,the intervention group demonstrated higher activity levels and better rehabilitation compliance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The pulmonary rehabilitation nursing program for children with double lung transplantation is scientifically sound,safe,and feasible.The implementation of this program is beneficial for the early discontinuation of mechanical ventilation,improving postoperative mobility,and enhancing compliance with pulmonary rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of etiological submission rates before the antimicrobial therapy after a series of intervention measures were taken so as to optimize the use and management of antibiotics.METHODS A total of 97,146 patients who were hospitalized and treated with antibiotics in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from Jul.2021 to Jun.2024 were recruited as the research subjects.Jan.2023 was set as the time node of intervention,the time period from Jul.2021 to Dec.2022 was assigned as the pre-interven-tion group,and the time period from Jan.2023 to Jun.2024 was assigned as the post-intervention group.The etio-logical submission rates before the antimicrobial therapy were observed by interrupted time series before and after the intervention measures were taken.The changes of isolation rates of multidrug-resistant organisms and inci-dence of hospital-associated infections were estimated by chi-square test.RESULTS The etiological submission rates before the antimicrobial therapy,etiological submission rates before combined use of major antibiotics and etiological submission rates relating to diagnosis of hospital-associated infections were higher after the intervention than before the intervention(all P＜0.05).The interrupted time series analysis showed that from the perspective of long-term benefit,the intervention measures could raise the etiological submission rates before the use of re-stricted,special grades of antibiotics and general antibiotics,and the net benefits were 0.85％,0.67％and 0.68％,respectively(all P＜0.05);there was no significant difference in the etiological submission rate before the com-bined use of major antibiotics.After the intervention,the incidence of multidrug-resistant organisms infection de-creased from 0.46％to 0.27％(P＜0.001);the isolation rate of multidrug-resistant organisms was 25.73％after the intervention,27.47％before the intervention,and there was no significant difference.CONCLUSIONS Scientif-ic and reasonable interventions may effectively raise the etiological submission rates before the antimicrobial thera-py,however,the etiological submission rate for combined use of major antibiotics and the isolation rate of multi-drug-resistant organisms are not improved remarkably.It is necessary to further formulate targeted interven-tion measures so as to push forward high-quality development of infection control.

Objective:To develop a novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP) cyclic peptide imaging agent, Al 18F-FAP-NOX, evaluate its in vitro and in vivo properties, and explore its feasibility of PET/CT imaging in tumors with FAP positive expression. Methods:Al 18F-FAP-NOX was manually synthesized. The in vitro stability of Al 18F-FAP-NOX was determined using radio high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The lipid water partition coefficient log P, in vitro cell uptake experiments, microPET/CT imaging and biodistribution in 293T-FAP tumor-bearing mice were conducted to preliminarily evaluate the pharmacokinetics and biological efficacy of Al 18F-FAP-NOX. Afterwards, a patient (male, 65 years old) with lung cancer underwent Al 18F-FAP-NOX PET/CT imaging. Results:Al 18F-FAP-NOX was successfully synthesized with a yield of (26.28±2.31)% without attenuation correction ( n=4), and the radiochemical purity was more than 95%. Al 18F-FAP-NOX exhibited good stability and hydrophilicity (log P=-3.02±0.08, n=5). In cell assays, the uptake of Al 18F-FAP-NOX in HT1080-FAP cells reached the plateau phase at 15 min ((7.31±0.53) percentage activity of injection dose per million cells (%ID/mio cells)), exhibiting high cellular uptake. The uptake of Al 18F-FAP-NOX could be significantly inhibited by 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-FAP-2286. The microPET/CT results of 293T-FAP tumor-bearing mice in vivo showed that Al 18F-FAP-NOX was highly uptaken in FAP-positive tumor tissues (60 min: (12.47±1.66) percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g)), while the uptake was very low in FAP-negative tumors. The biodistribution results were similar to the microPET/CT imaging results of tumor-bearing mice. The human clinical imaging showed an abnormal increase in Al 18F-FAP-NOX uptake (SUV max 5.5) of the lung cancer lesions. Conclusions:A novel cyclic peptide radiopharmaceutical, Al 18F-FAP-NOX, demonstrates good stability and hydrophilicity. It can be quickly distributed to tumor tissue in vivo. The human clinical PET/CT imaging shows certain diagnostic ability of Al 18F-FAP-NOX for lung cancer lesions. It is a promising cyclic peptide agent for PET imaging.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted tracer 64Cu-FAP inhibitor (FAPI)-XT117 in patients with malignant solid tumors, and to compare with 18F-FDG. Methods:This self-controlled study was conducted on fifteen patients (8 males, 7 females; age (60 ±9) years) with malignant solid tumors from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between July 2023 and December 2023. Each subject underwent 64Cu-FAPI-XT117 PET/CT at 30, 60, and 120min post-injection and was assigned to three dose cohorts (111MBq, 148MBq, and 185MBq; 5 patients in each cohort), and safety assessments were conducted within 24h after injection. In addition, all patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT at 60min post-injection. Time-activity curves were generated for 64Cu-FAPI-XT117, and the dosimetry was calculated. Image quality was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale, and the optimal injected activity and imaging time point were determined. The paired t test was used to compare differences of the lesion detection count and SUV max between 64Cu-FAPI-XT117 and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Results:64Cu-FAPI-XT117 was well tolerated, with no adverse events reported. Time-activity curves of 68Ga-FAPI-XT117 revealed prominent uptake in the uterus, while the background activity in other organs remained low, with the whole-body effective dose of (0.0084±0.0021)mSv/MBq. The optimal imaging time point for 64Cu-FAPI-XT117 PET/CT was 60min post-injection, with an optimal administered activity of 111MBq. Compared with 18F-FDG, 64Cu-FAPI-XT117 demonstrated significantly higher uptake and more lesions in lymph-node metastases (SUV max: 8.6±3.8 vs 15.3±6.8, t=2.33, P=0.048; number of lesions: 8.3±5.4 vs 15.0±6.4; t=4.21, P=0.003) and distant metastases (SUV max: 11.8±3.7 vs 20.9±7.2, t=3.66, P=0.022; number of lesions: 7.0±3.2 vs 12.4±3.7, t=2.86, P=0.046). Conclusions:64Cu-FAPI-XT117 PET/CT is well tolerated in patients with solid tumors, with a controllable radiation risk. Moreover, it outperforms 18F-FDG PET/CT in the assessment of metastases.

OBJECTIVE: To develop an artificial intelligence-assisted system for the automatic detection of the features of common 21 auricular points based on the YOLOv8 neural network. METHODS: A total of 660 human auricular images from three research centers were collected from June 2019 to February 2024. The rectangle boxes and features of images were annotated using the LabelMe5.3.1 tool and converted them into a format compatible with the YOLO model. Using these data, transfer learning and fine-tuning training were conducted on different scales of pretrained YOLO neural network models. The model's performance was evaluated on validation and test sets, including the mean average precision (mAP) at various thresholds, recall rate (recall), frames per second (FPS) and confusion matrices. Finally, the model was deployed on a local computer, and the real-time detection of human auricular images was conducted using a camera. RESULTS: Five different versions of the YOLOv8 key-point detection model were developed, including YOLOv8n, YOLOv8s, YOLOv8m, YOLOv8l, and YOLOv8x. On the validation set, YOLOv8n showed the best performance in terms of speed (225.736 frames per second) and precision (0.998). On the external test set, YOLOv8n achieved the accuracy of 0.991, the sensitivity of 1.0, and the F1 score of 0.995. The localization performance of auricular point features showed the average accuracy of 0.990, the precision of 0.995, and the recall of 0.997 under 50% intersection ration (mAP⁵⁰). CONCLUSION The key-point detection model of 21 common auricular points based on YOLOv8n exhibits the excellent predictive performance, which is capable of rapidly and automatically locating and classifying auricular points.

In this study, araucarene diterpenes, characterized by a pimarene skeleton with a variably oxidized side chain at C-13, were investigated. A total of 16 araucarene diterpenoids and their derivatives were isolated from the woods of Agathis dammara, including 11 previously unreported compounds: dammaradione (1), dammarones D-G (2, 5, 14, 15), dammaric acids B-F (8-12), and dammarol (16). The structures of these new compounds were elucidated using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HR-ESI-MS) and one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), while their absolute configurations were determined through the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method and Snatzke's method. The hypoglycemic activity of all isolated compounds was evaluated using a transgenic zebrafish model, and a structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted. Araucarone (3) and dammaric acid C (9), serving as representative compounds, demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effects on zebrafish. The primary mechanism involves the promotion of pancreatic β cell regeneration and glucose uptake. Specifically, these compounds enhance the differentiation of pancreatic endocrine precursor cells (PEP cells) into β cells in zebrafish.

L-tyrosine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins and is an essential amino acid for mammals, often used as a nutritional supplement. The conventional methods for synthesizing L-tyrosine have some problems such as the production of many by-products, high requirements for production conditions, and environmental pollution. In this study, we designed and constructed a multi-enzyme cascade for the synthesis of L-tyrosine with alanine, glutamate, ammonium chloride, and phenol as substrates. Initially, the sources of glutamate oxidase, alanine aminotransferase, and tyrosine phenol lyase were screened and analyzed, which was followed by the identification of the rate-limiting enzyme in the reaction process. A colorimetric screening method was established, and the rate-limiting enzyme DbAlaA was engineered to enhance its activity by 40.0%. Subsequently, the reaction conditions, including temperature, pH, cell concentration, and surfactant and coenzyme dosages, were optimized. After optimization, the yield of L-tyrosine reached 9.93 g/L, with a alanine conversion rate of 54.90%. Finally, a feed-batch fermentation strategy was adopted, and the yield of L-tyrosine reached 56.07 g/L after 24 h, with a alanine conversion rate of 65.22%. This study provides a reference for the whole-cell catalytic synthesis of L-tyrosine and its industrialization.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotype, pregnancy outcome and follow-up of fetuses with 15q11.2BP1-BP2 microdeletions in order to provide a basis for prenatal and reproductive consultation. METHODS: From March 2019 to December 2023, 20 fetuses who were diagnosed with 15q11.2BP1-BP2 microdeletion syndrome at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were selected as the study subjects. Results of genetic testing and ultrasound examination, outcome of pregnancy, and postnatal follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University ([2020]0520B). RESULTS: None of the 20 fetuses was found to have chromosomal abnormality, whilst all were found to harbor a 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletion by low-depth whole genome sequencing (CNV-seq). The range of deletions was determined as 0.26 ~ 0.87 Mb, and all were rated as pathogenic CNVs. Three fetuses had abnormal ultrasound findings, including 1 with widened renal pelvis, 1 with agenesis of corpus callosum, and 1 with nuchal fold thickening. Parental verification in 10 couples verified that two fetal deletions were de novo, whilst the remaining eight were inherited from a phenotypically normal parent. Following genetic counseling, three couples had opted to terminate the pregnancy, whilst the remaining 17 had continued with the pregnancy until delivery. The 17 liveborns were followed up for 2 months to 5 years, with no obvious abnormality in growth and development noted. CONCLUSION CNV-seq plays an important role in the prenatal diagnosis of 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletions. Such deletions may not always lead to disease phenotypes. Individualized consultation and long-term follow-up, in combination with intrauterine ultrasound and parental verification are necessary.
