Objective: To explore the associations between caregivers nutrition literacy and pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), so as to provide scientific evidence for the key contents of family intervention measures. Methods: In September 2022, a study involving 1 609 thirdgrade students and their caregivers from six schools in Yinzhou, Haishu, and Zhenhai Districts of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, was conducted. Venous blood samples were collected to measure lipid profiles and investigate the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among the children. Family Food Environment Questionnaire was used to assess the nutrition literacy levels of the caregivers. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to explore the correlation between caregivers nutrition literacy levels and the prevalence of NAFLD in children. Results: Among the surveyed students, 191 were in the NAFLD group, whereas 1 418 were in the nonNAFLD group. The median nutrition literacy score of caregivers in the NAFLD group and nonNAFLD group all were 11.00 (9.00,12.00), which was not significantly different (Z=-0.40, P=0.71). The generalized linear regression results revealed that the level of nutrition literacy of caregivers had no significant effect on childrens Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and Triglyceride-glucose-Waisttoheight ratio (TyG-WHtR) [β(95%CI) were 0.001(-0.005-0.006) and 0.000(-0.014-0.014), P>0.05]. Conclusions The nutrition literacy level of caregivers has no significant correlation with the direct incidence of NAFLD in children. As for family intervention measures, it is necessary not only to improve the nutrition literacy level of caregivers but also to effectively apply nutritional knowledge in practice to optimize health management.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 （C1QTNF3） in liver cancer tissue， its association with the clinicopathological features of patients， and its potential value in predicting the prognosis of liver cancer. MethodsRelated data were collected from TIMER， UALCAN， TNMplot， and GEO databases， and the bioinformatics methods were used to measure the expression level of C1QTNF3 in pan-cancer， normal tissue/liver cancer tissue， and cancerous tissue/paracancerous tissue. Cancerous and paracancerous tissue samples were collected from 90 patients with liver cancer， and related clinical data were collected， including age， sex， tumor diameter， and tumor number. The independent-samples t test or the paired t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves， and the Log-rank test was used to investigate the association between the expression level of C1QTNF3 and the survival of patients with liver cancer. The Cox regression model was used to identify the risk factors for the prognosis of patients with liver cancer， and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to analyze the ability of C1QTNF3 expression at different time points for predicting the prognosis of patients with liver cancer. ResultsThe bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression of C1QTNF3 was upregulated in various malignant tumors， especially in liver cancer tissue （P<0.001）， and the expression level of C1QTNF3 in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue and paracancerous tissues （all P<0.01）. The immunohistochemical staining results of 90 patients with liver cancer showed that C1QTNF3 was mainly expressed in cytoplasm， with a small amount in nucleus， and it had negative expression in paracancerous tissue and positive expression in liver cancer tissue. The positive expression rate and strong positive expression rate of C1QTNF3 protein in liver cancer tissue were significantly higher than those in paracancerous tissue （positive expression rate： 76.67% vs 33.33%， χ²=34.141， P<0.01； strong positive expression rate： 54.44% vs 5.56%， χ²=51.217， P<0.01）. The liver cancer patients with a tumor diameter of ≥5 cm， an advanced stage， the presence of liver cirrhosis， negative HBsAg， and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT）≥50 U/L had a significantly higher strong positive expression rate of C1QTNF3 protein than those with a tumor diameter of <5 cm， an early stage， the absence of liver cirrhosis， positive HBsAg， and GGT<50 U/L （all P<0.05）. The univariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor diameter， recurrence， and C1QTNF3 expression were influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with liver cancer （all P<0.05）， and the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the expression level of C1QTNF3 and recurrence were independent risk factors for the survival of patients with liver cancer （both P<0.05）. The survival curve analysis showed that for all patients with liver cancer， the patients with high （strong positive） expression of C1QTNF3 had significantly lower overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate than those with low expression （χ²=17.010 and 13.647， both P<0.001）； for liver cancer patients with a tumor diameter of ≥5 cm， an early/advanced stage， recurrence， the presence of liver cirrhosis， positive HBsAg， alanine aminotransferase （ALT） <40 U/L， ALT≥40 U/L， and GGT≥50 U/L， the patients with high expression of C1QTNF3 had a significant reduction in overall survival rate （χ²=11.086， 5.578， 5.295， 19.159， 16.391， 13.774， 10.119， 8.152， and 12.035， all P<0.05）. The ROC curve analysis showed that C1QTNF3 expression had the strongest predictive potential at 5 years， with an area under the ROC curve of 0.77. ConclusionC1QTNF3 is highly expressed in liver cancer tissue， and the expression level of C1QTNF3 and recurrence are closely associated with the survival of patients with liver cancer. Patients with high expression of C1QTNF3 protein tend to have a lower survival rate.

Objective: To evaluates the association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and offspring risk of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), providing theoretical evidence for early life MASLD prevention. Methods: An online search was conducted across ten databases (CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PROSPERO, PQDT Global, ScienceDirect) for research literature on the association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and the development of MASLD in offspring, with the search period spanning from January 2014 to December 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed study quality. Statistical analysis was performed using R 4.3.3. Results: Ten studies involving 10 229 participants were included, comprising 4 cohort studies and 6 case control studies. Cohort studies showed that maternal overweight and obesity significantly increased offspring MASLD risk ( RR=1.59, 95%CI=1.06-2.39, P <0.05), with moderate heterogeneity ( I 2=56.9%, P =0.07). Case control studies indicated a positive association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and offspring risk of MASLD( OR=2.00, 95%CI=1.68-2.39, P < 0.05), with low heterogeneity ( I 2=48.8%, P =0.08). Conclusions Maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy positively correlates with offspring MASLD risk. Gestational weight management may reduce the risk.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of esmolol on cardiac function， inflammatory factors and serum microRNA （miR）-29a and miR-129-5p in patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. METHODS A total of 120 patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing PCI in our hospital from April 2021 to June 2023 were selected and divided into control group （60 cases） and study group （60 cases） according to the random number table method. The control group was given conventional treatment， and the study group was additionally given Esmolol hydrochloride injection based on the control group for one week. The levels of cardiac function indexes （left ventricular ejection fraction， left ventricular end-systolic volume index， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter， peak ejection fraction， cardiac output）， inflammatory factors （C-reactive protein， myeloperoxidase， interleukin-6， brain natriuretic peptide， homocysteine） myocardial enzyme indexes （creatine kinase isoenzyme， β2-microglobulin， cardiac troponin Ⅰ）， and serum expression of miR-29a and miR-129-5p were observed in two groups， and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS After one week of treatment， left ventricular ejection fraction， peak ejection fraction， cardiac output， and the expression of miR-129-5p in two groups was significantly higher than before treatment （P＜0.05）， while left ventricular end-systolic volume index， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter， inflammatory factors and myocardial enzyme index levels， and the expression of miR-29a were significantly lower than before treatment （P＜ 0.05）. The study group was significantly better than the control group （except for the creatine kinase-MB） （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of symptomatic hypotension， symptomatic bradycardia， cardiogenic shock， and arrhythmia between two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Esmolol can improve cardiac function， reduce inflammatory factors， lessen myocardial injury， and regulate serum expressions of miR-29a and miR-129-5p in patients with acute anterior ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction after PCI， with good safety.

Tumor immune microenvironment has been the focus of tumor research in recent years, and its role in tumor regulation has become prominent and has received increasing attention. The imbalance of the tumor immune microenvironment plays an important role in promoting tumor progression, and the adjustment of its instability plays an important role in controlling tumor progression. The theoretical idea of Traditional Chinese Medicine's "Yipingweiqi" is basically the same as that of modern medicine of controlling tumors by maintaining the balance of the immune microenvironment. This study discusses the aspects of tumor immune microenvironment, its destabilization, relationship to tumor progression, importance in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and regulation by Traditional Chinese Medicine with different treatments. In particular, this work focuses on the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in maintaining the balance of the tumor immune microenvironment and its potential mechanism by using qi benefit, yang warming, dampness eliminating, and heat clearing under the guidance of the principle of "Yipingweiqi". Results will provide reference for the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of cryptotanshinone (CPT) on human breast cancer cell MCF7 and its mechanism. Methods The survival rate of MCF7 cells was measured by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI assay and Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining assay. Cell cycle and reactive oxygen species were detected by flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion were detected by cell scratch test and Transwell chamber test. The surface molecules CD44 and CD24 were detected by flow cytometry and microsphere culture. The expression of cell-associated proteins was detected by Western blot. Results CPT inhibited the proliferation of MCF7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the 24 h IC₅₀ value was 19.24 μmol/L. Compared with the untreated group, the CPT-treated group showed cell cycle arrested in the S phase, and apoptosis was induced. The results of the cell scratch and Transwell chamber tests showed that CPT significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of MCF7 cells. Furthermore, CPT reduced the CD24^-/LowCD44⁺ cell population in MCF7 cell-derived microspheres. Western blot results showed that CPT could up-regulate the expression of Bax protein, down-regulate the expression of BCL-2, PI3K-p85, Akt, N-cadherin, Twist1, Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog protein, effectively inhibit the phosphorylation of ER-α, and decrease the expression of ABCG2. Conclusion CPT can inhibit the proliferation of MCF7 cells by inhibiting the migration and invasion of MCF7 cells, decreasing the number of CD24^-/lowCD44⁺ cells and affecting the expression of tumor stem cell-related proteins.
