Background Prenatal exposure to chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acid (Cl-PFESA, commercially known as F-53B) during pregnancy has been associated with fetal growth restriction and adverse birth outcomes. These effects may be mediated by structural and functional impairments of the placenta, potentially resulting from disrupted placental angiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objective To explore the impact of prenatal F-53B exposure on fetal development, placental pathology, and the expression of genes involved in angiogenesis by establishing an F-53B exposure animal model. Methods A total of 48 sexually mature female SD rats aged 8 weeks were selected, along with 24 proven male breeders. The rats were acclimatized for one week before mating. Pregnant rats were assigned to four groups: control (0 mg·kg⁻¹), low-dose (0.1 mg·kg⁻¹), medium-dose (1 mg·kg⁻¹), and high-dose (5 mg·kg⁻¹). Half of the pregnant rats in each group were administered the test substance by oral gavage once daily from gestational day (GD) 5.5 to GD17.5. The fetuses and placentas were dissected and weighed, and placental efficiency was calculated as the ratio of fetal weight to placental weight, reflecting the placenta’s capacity to supply nutrients to the fetus. Placental histopathological alterations were assessed after hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was conducted to assess the mRNA expression levels of angiogenesis-related genes, including hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its receptor (VEGFR2), as well as downstream genes in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. To evaluate the potential impact of prenatal F-53B exposure on birth outcomes, including birth weight and gestational age, the remaining half of the pregnant rats in each group were continuously exposed to the test substance until delivery. Results F-53B exposure significantly reduced fetal weight across all exposure groups (P<0.05) and markedly increased the incidence of intrauterine growth restriction (P<0.01). Although placental weights did not differ significantly among groups, placental efficiency was significantly decreased in the high-dose group (P<0.05). The histological analysis after HE staining revealed disorganized trophoblast cell structure and a significant reduction in labyrinthine blood sinus area in the medium- and high-dose groups. The qPCR analysis showed that HIF-1α expression was significantly upregulated in the low-dose group (P<0.001), while VEGFA (P<0.01), PI3K (P<0.001), and AKT (P<0.05) expression levels were significantly downregulated in the medium- and high-dose groups. Conclusion Maternal exposure to F-53B during pregnancy may impair placental angiogenesis via VEGFA and its downstream PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, leading to placental pathological damage and increasing the risk of intrauterine growth restriction and reduced birth weight in fetuses.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between social jetlag and psychological behavior in upper primary school students,so as to provide reference for sleep health promotion in primary school students. Methods: From April to June 2024, a survey was conducted among 4 341 fourth and fifth grade students from 9 public primary schools in a district in Beijing. Sleep patterns were assessed using a self designed questionnaire, while psychological behavior was evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)(parent version). A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used to examine the association between different levels of social jetlag and psychological behavior problem scores in primary school students. Results: The proportions of students with social jetlag of <1.0, 1.0-<2.0, and ≥2.0 h were 57.6%, 30.6%, and 11.8%, respectively. The GEE model analysis found that after adjusting for covariates, compared with primary school students with social jetlag of <1.0 h, those with 1.0 -<2.0 and ≥2.0 h had higher scores for internalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI ) =0.23(0.05-0.41)，0.28(0.02-0.54), P < 0.01]. Primary school students with ≥2.0 h of social jetlag had higher scores for externalizing behavior problems [ β (95% CI )=0.42 (0.13-0.71)， P <0.01]. Among boys and primary school students with an average nighttime sleep duration of ≥9 h, comparied with social jetlag of <1.0 h,those with sucial jetlag 1.0-<2.0 h had higher scores on internalizing and externalizing behavior problems[ β (95% CI )=0.32(0.07-0.56),0.51 (0.11-0.90), 0.26 (0.06-0.46)，0.58 (0.25-0.91), P <0.05]. Conclusions Greater social jetlag may be a risk factor for internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in upper primary school students. Reducing social jetlag may help decrease the occurrence of psychological behavior problems in primary school students.

Objective:To observe and assess the clinical value of electrophysiology of ocular surface in the diagnosis and treatment of blepharospasm in Meige syndrome (MS).Methods:A single-center, cross-sectional study. A total of 413 patients diagnosed with MS and undergoing surgical treatment at the Henan Provincial Meige Syndrome Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Henan Provincial Third People′s Hospital from May 2022 to December 2023 were included as the MS group. A total of 110 age- and gender-matched spouses of patients and community volunteers were selected as the control group. The bioelectricity detection program of the electrooculogram was used; the frequency bandwidth was set at 0.3 to 300.0 Hz. Surface electrodes were employed to record the surface electrophysiological manifestations of the corrugator supercilii muscle and the lower orbicularis oculi muscle, as well as the conditions and temporal characteristics of spasm waves. Based on the amplitude and waveform of the electrophysiology of ocular surface signals, it can be classified into 0-4 grades. The blepharospasm was divided into conditionally induced type, spastic type, reverse spastic type, and oro-ocular elicited type. All patients were treated with neural circuit occlusion, and the postoperative follow-up time was 4.1 (0.5-19.0) months. The distribution of different grades of electrophysiology of ocular surface in the MS and control group at baseline were observed, as well as within the MS group at the last follow-up visit. Additionally, the blepharospasm grades in the MS group were also assessed. The comparison of the distribution of the number of eyes with different grades of electrophysiology of ocular surface between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:At baseline, in the MS group, the number of cases with corrugator supercilii muscle amplitudes and morphologies graded from 0 to 4 were as follows: 15 (3.60%, 15/413) for grade 0, 95 (23.00%, 95/413) for grade 1, 142 (34.38%, 142/413) for grade 2, 127 (30.75%, 127/413) for grade 3, and 34 (8.24%, 34/413) for grade 4. In the control group, the corresponding numbers of individuals were 82 (74.54%, 82/110) for grade 0, 24 (21.82%, 24/110) for grade 1, 4 (3.64%, 4/110) for grade 2, 0 (0.00%, 0/110) for grade 3, and 0 (0.00%, 0/110) for grade 4. For the orbicularis oculi muscle, there were 35 cases (8.47%) in grade 0, 124 cases (30.03%) in grade 1, 150 cases (36.32%) in grade 2, 90 cases (21.79%) in grade 3, and 14 cases (3.39%) in grade 4 in the MS group. In the control group, there were 86 cases (78.18%) in grade 0, 24 cases (21.82%) in grade 1, and 0 cases in grades 2, 3, and 4. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of the number of eyes with different electrophysiology of ocular surface grading of the corrugator supercilii muscle and the orbicularis oculi muscle between the MS and control group ( Z=-14.51, -13.86; P<0.001). Meanwhile, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of the number of eyes with different electrophysiology of ocular surface grading of the corrugator supercilii muscle and the orbicularis oculi muscle between preoperation and at the last follow-up in the MS group ( Z=-16.52, -17.36; P<0.001). In the MS group, there were 61 (14.77%, 61/413), 306 (74.09%, 306/413), 27 (6.54%, 27/413) and 19 (4.60%, 19/413) cases of blepharospasm conditionally induced type, spasm type, reverse spasm type and oro-ocular elicited type, respectively. Conclusion:The electrophysiology of the ocular surface can objectively reflect the activity of periocular neuromuscular.

Gliomas, with their infiltrative growth and malignant potential, present considerable therapeutic challenges. Maximal safe resection is essential for optimizing patient survival and quality of life. Despite this, existing intraoperative visualization techniques suffer from limited sensitivity and accuracy. Label-free Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a non-invasive, rapidly diagnostic, and highly accurate technique. It accurately diagnoses tumors, identifies infiltration margins, and classifies molecular subtypes, enhancing the precision of glioma surgery. This review summarizes the latest advances and applications of label-free Raman spectroscopy in glioma surgery.

Objective:To quantify thoracic and abdominal movements during breathing using inertial measurement units (IMUs) and to build a machine learning model which identifies the abdominal breathing (AB) pattern.Methods:Ten rehabilitation therapists formed the study′s professional group, while 15 patients receiving AB training comprised the validation group. Two synchronized IMUs were applied to capture breathing motions during natural breathing (NB), deep breathing (DB) and AB. Six kinematic features were extracted from each respiratory cycle, and inter-group and inter-pattern differences were analyzed. Correlation analysis was also performed with manually measured changes in thoracic and abdominal circumferences. A support vector classification model for AB pattern detection was then developed using data from the professional and validation groups.Results:A total of 1113 respiratory cycles were extracted and analyzed. The breathing pattern significantly influenced all of the kinematic features studied (0.21≤partial η 2≤0.65, all P≤0.001). The ranges of the angles in medial-lateral axis of the IMUs showed strong correlation with the changes in abdominal and thoracic circumferences (ρ1=0.928, ρ2=0.807, P≤0.001 in both cases). A greater range of abdominal angles was found during AB compared to the other patterns. The best of the models achieved an F1 score of 0.970 (sensitivity: 0.983, specificity: 0.980) in validation. Conclusions:AB generates the greatest abdominal movement. Combining IMUs and machine learning can provide real-time quantification of chest movement and accurate detection of AB during breathing training.

Objective:To explore the implementation effects of an proactive health management model for elderly patients with multimorbidity in comprehensive hospitals based on the concept of people-centered integrated care (PCIC).Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. Elderly patients who were hospitalized in the Department of General Practice at Shanghai East Hospital Tongji University and also suffered from hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia from November 2022 to January 2024 were included, and were divided into the control group (traditional health management, n=25) and the intervention group (proactive health management, n=25) using the random number table method. A research team comprising experts in general medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, rehabilitation medicine, psychology, and other relevant specialties was formed. Based on literature analysis, clinical experience, and hospital resources, the team collaborated to develop a comprehensive, hospital-based proactive health management model for elderly patients with comorbidities based on the PCIC concept. Patients in the control group were managed using the traditional health management model. Patients in the intervention group were managed using the proactive health management model. Baseline clinical data was collected and the patients were followed up for 6 months. At the 6-month follow-up, data on blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and blood lipids were collected, as well as information on polypharmacy, activities of daily living (ADL) ability, 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, and unplanned rehospitalization were recorded. Results:A total of 50 patients were enrolled, with 25 patients in each group. The control group had an average age of (70.40±6.54) years, with 15 males(60.0%). The intervention group had an average age of (71.20±5.14) years, with 16 males(64.0%). At the 6-month follow-up, the standardization rates of blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) in both groups were higher than those in the baseline (all P<0.05).In addition, patients in the intervention group had the compliance rates for higher blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and TG than the control group (all P<0.05).At the 6-month follow-up, the 10-year ASCVD high-risk patient percentage decreased in the intervention group compared with baseline ( P=0.023) and was lower than that of the control group ( P=0.045), and the unanticipated readmission rate of patients in the intervention group was also lower than that of the control group ( P=0.042). Conclusions:A proactive health management model for elderly patients with geriatric multimorbidity in a comprehensive hospital, based on the concept of PCIC, was applied to an elderly population with concurrent hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. The results of the management were favorable.

Objective:To explore the relationship between trait anger and depression among college students, as well as the mediating roles of perceived stress and emotion-oriented coping strategies.Methods:From March to April 2022, a total of 2 037 college students were surveyed by the trait anger scale, the perceived stress scale, the coping inventory for stressful situations, and the 9-item patient health questionnaire.The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 27.0 software and AMOS 24.0 statistical software packages.Results:The score of trait anger among college students was (14.78±3.56), the score of perceived stress was (10.02±4.77), the score of emotion-oriented coping was (14.43±3.38), and the score of depression was 2.00(0, 9.00). Correlation analysis showed that depression was significantly and positively correlated with temperamental anger, reactive anger, perceived stress, and emotion-oriented coping ( r=0.303-0.467, all P<0.01). Temperamental anger and reactive anger were significantly and positively correlated with both perceived stress and emotion-oriented coping ( r=0.279-0.332, all P<0.01). Emotion-oriented coping was significantly and positively correlated with perceived stress ( r=0.397, P<0.01). Mediation effect analysis showed that the total effect of trait anger on depression was 0.420. The direct effect of trait anger on depression was 0.241, accounting for 57.38% of the total effect. The mediating effects of perceived stress and emotion-oriented coping were 0.145 and 0.024, accounting for 34.52% and 5.72% of the total effect, respectively. The chain mediating effect of perceived stress and emotion-oriented coping was 0.010, accounting for 2.38% of the total effect. Conclusion:Trait anger can significantly and positively predict depression among college students, and it can also positively predict the level of depression among college students through the chain mediation effect of perceived stress and emotion orientation.

Objective:To adapt the English version of exteroceptive body awareness questionnaire (EBA-q) into Chinese, and evaluate its reliability and validity in college students.Methods:English version EBA-q was translated and culturally adapted into Chinese, and the tests were administered from October to December 2024, with valid data collected from 1 071 college students. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted by SPSS 23.0 and Mplus 8.3 softwares.Results:(1) The Chinese version of EBA-q contained seventeen items across five factors: visual awareness, tactile awareness, body coordination, awareness of body changes and awareness of clothing fit. The five-factor measurement model fitted the data well ( χ2/ df=2.24, CFI=0.95, TLI=0.94, RMSEA=0.05, SRMR=0.06). (2) The EBA-q scores were positively correlated with the scores of noticing, body listening, public self-consciousness, and private self-consciousness ( r=0.46, 0.36, 0.09, 0.25, all P<0.01). (3)The Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of the Chinese version of EBA-q were 0.79, 0.85 and 0.77, respectively(all P<0.01). Conclusion:The Chinese version of the EBA-q has demonstrated good reliability in assessing external body awareness among college students, but its validity requires further verification.
