Objective:
To investigate the association of the joint effect of body fat levels and dyslipidemia with cardiovascular structural abnormalities in children, so as to provide a scientific reference for the early prevention of cardiovascular damage.
Methods:
Based on the data from the second follow up (October 2021 to January 2022) of the Huantai Children Cardiovascular Health Follow up Cohort, 1 308 children with complete data were included. The fat mass percentage (FMP), fat mass index (FMI), subcutaneous fat mass (SFM) and visceral fat mass (VFM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), relative wall thickness (RWT), thickening of carotid intima-media thickening (cIMT) , left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular geometric remodeling (LVG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were obtained. Multivariable Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations of FMP, FMI, SFM and VFM with thickening of cIMT, LVH and LVG. The joint effects of these body fat indicators and dyslipidemia on the aforementioned cardiovascular outcomes were further explored. Restricted cubic spline model was used to examine the dose response relationships between body fat levels and cardiovascular structural abnormalities.
Results:
Elevated body fat levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular structural abnormalities, exhibiting J shaped dose response relationships (all P <0.05). Compared with the group with normal body fat and normolipidemia, the risks of thickening of cIMT, LVH, and LVG in the group with elevated FMP combined with dyslipidemia were higher[ OR (95% CI )=11.70 (6.49-21.27), 5.53 (2.97-10.17), 2.33 (1.30-4.05)]; in the group with elevated FMI combined with dyslipidemia, the corresponding risks were higher[ OR (95% CI )= 11.68 (6.43-21.38), 6.98 (3.73-12.92), 2.65 (1.50-4.61)]; in the group with elevated SFM combined with dyslipidemia, the corresponding risks were higher[ OR (95% CI )=10.55 (5.83-19.24), 5.11 (2.71-9.45), 1.99 (1.11- 3.46 )]; and in the group with elevated VFM combined with dyslipidemia, the corresponding risks were higher[ OR (95% CI )=12.44 (6.76-23.14), 6.17 ( 3.31 -11.38), 2.30 (1.30-3.99)] (all P <0.05). Sex stratified analyses showed that the risk of thickening of cIMT in the combined exposure group of all four body fat indicators and dyslipidemia was significantly higher in girls than in boys (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
Elevated body fat levels and dyslipidemia have a combined effect in children, collectively increasing the risk of cardiovascular structural abnormalities. Prevention of cardiovascular damage in children should focus on both adiposity management and blood lipid regulation.

Objective To explore the role of chloride intracellular channel 5 (CLIC5) in the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods The expression levels of CLIC5 in LUAD samples were determined using bioinformatics and qRT-PCR. The correlation between CLIC5 expression and LUAD progression was revealed through survival analysis and clinicopathological feature analysis. After the knockdown or overexpression of CLIC5 in the LUAD cells, cell proliferation was assessed through colony formation assay, cell apoptosis rate by flow cytometry, and cell migration and invasion by scratch and Transwell invasion assay. The protein levels of vimentin and Snail were detected by Western blot. Results Bioinformatics analysis results showed low CLIC5 expression levels in the LUAD samples. This finding was associated with the aggressive progression of LUAD and the poor survival of patients with LUAD. The qRT-PCR results confirmed that CLIC5 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of the LUAD cells. CLIC5 overexpression inhibited cell activity and proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of LUAD cells. The knockdown of CLIC5 exhibited the opposite effect. CLIC5 overexpression inhibited the migration and invasion of LUAD cells, downregulated Bcl-2, vimentin, and Snail and upregulated Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and E-cadherin in the LUAD cells. CLIC5 knockdown exhibited opposite effects. Conclusion CLIC5 overexpression promotes cell apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and invasion, thereby inhibiting the development of LUAD. Hence, CLIC5 is a novel biomarker of prognosis and therapeutic target for LUAD.

Objective:To investigate the current status of clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses in Shandong Province and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:In December 2024, 220 Interventional Operating Room nurses from 46 ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province were selected for a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling. General Information Questionnaire, Clinical Leadership Survey, Chinese version of Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-C) , and Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals (JSE-HP) were used as survey instruments. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence, empathy, and clinical leadership.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed and 204 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 92.73% (204/220) . The clinical leadership scores of the 204 Interventional Operating Room nurses were (66.35±8.74) , and the dimensions scored, in descending order, as encouraging the heart, enabling others to act, modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, and challenging the process. The mean scores of WLEIS-C and JSE-HP items were (5.88±0.90) and (4.61±0.63) , respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the nature of employment and whether or not they participated in leadership training were influencing factors for clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses (partial regression coefficients of -2.831 and -2.999, respectively; P<0.05) . Emotional intelligence and empathy ability among Interventional Operating Room nurses were positively correlated with clinical leadership ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Clinical leadership of nurses in the Interventional Operating Room of ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province is at a moderate to high level. Nurses who participate in leadership training, have staffing, have greater empathy, and have higher emotional intelligence have greater clinical leadership. It is recommended that nursing administrators add leadership-related courses to the training of nurses in the Interventional Operating Room, and take steps to improve nurses' emotional intelligence and empathy ability, thereby promoting clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses.
