Objective: To assess the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding health protection against air pollution among primary school students in China, and to analyze the impacts of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure, family, and individual factors on KAP levels, so as to provide empirical basis for implementing targeted interventions. Methods: Using stratified cluster random sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 19 297 primary school students from third to fifth grade across 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) in China in 2024. The questionnaire was developed based on the Technical Guidelines for the Assessment of Civic Environmental and Health Literacy (Trial), and encompasses three dimensions:knowledge, attitude, and practice. Spearman correlation analysis, Chi-square test, multivariate Logistic regression, and Bootstrap mediation effect test was applied for data analysis. Results: The overall mean KAP score for health protection against air pollution among primary school students was (79.73±13.53), with an adequacy rate of 80.47% ( n =15 528). The dimension scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were (41.34±8.01, 16.43± 2.61 ), and (21.97±5.71), respectively. Knowledge was positively correlated with attitude and practice, and attitude was positively correlated with practice ( r =0.51, 0.35, 0.32, all P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that the northeast region ( OR =2.36, 95% CI =2.02-2.75), having parents with a bachelor s degree or higher ( OR =4.76, 95% CI =2.71-8.37), living with both parents ( OR =1.33, 95% CI =1.15-1.55), being in the fifth grade ( OR =1.22, 95% CI =1.11-1.33), outdoor PM 2.5 level exceeding standard limits at the survey site ( OR =1.25, 95% CI =1.16-1.34), history of allergy ( OR =1.47, 95% CI =1.31-1.64), and wearing masks during heavily polluted weather ( OR =1.19, 95% CI =1.07-1.31) were promoting factors for KAP adequacy rate (all P <0.05). Conversely, obesity was a detrimental factor ( OR =0.78, 95% CI =0.69-0.88, all P <0.05). Conclusions Primary school students in China exhibit a favorable KAP level regarding health protection against air pollution, though regional, familial, and individual disparities persist. Exposure to PM 2.5 levels exceeding standard limits exerts a direct positive effect on enhancing health protection literacy. Future efforts should focus on the western region, families with lower educational attainment children to implement tailored, stratified interventions.

Objective: To evaluate the risk of donation-related adverse reactions, donation behavior, and contributions to the blood supply among donors aged 56-65 years following extension of the upper age limit for voluntary blood donation, and to provide real-world evidence for optimizing blood donation age policies in China. Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort was established using blood donation databases from Hainan, Shenzhen, and Jiangxi. A total of 1 180 767 donors contributing 2 020 407 whole-blood and apheresis donations were included. Donations were classified by donor age at each donation into the 18-55-year and 56-65-year groups. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to compare the risks of overall, local, and systemic donation-related adverse reactions between the two age groups. Restricted cubic spline analysis was used to assess the continuous association between donor age and the risk of overall adverse reactions. Poisson GEE models were used to compare annual donation frequency, and donation participation and contributions to the blood supply among donors aged 56-65 years were evaluated. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Blood Transfusion, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (No.2025012) and registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2500114960). Results: A total of 1 960 711 donations were included in the 18-55-year group and 59 696 in the 56-65-year group. The overall donation-related adverse reaction rates were 3.890‰and 0.704‰, respectively. Multivariable GEE analysis showed that, compared with donors aged 18-55 years, those aged 56-65 years had lower risks of overall adverse reactions (adjusted OR=0.294, 95%CI: 0.217-0.398, P<0.001) and systemic adverse reactions (adjusted OR=0.163, 95%CI: 0.101-0.263, P<0.001), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in the risk of local adverse reactions (adjusted OR=1.337, 95%CI: 0.487-3.670, P=0.573). Donor age was nonlinearly associated with the risk of overall adverse reactions (P overall<0.001, P nonlinear<0.001), with the risk generally decreasing with increasing age between 18 and 65 years. The mean annual donation frequency was higher among donors aged 56-65 years than among those aged 18-55 years (1.63 vs 1.24 donations per year; adjusted IRR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.30-1.39, P<0.001). During the study period, donors aged 56-65 years contributed 2.95% of all donations; their whole-blood donations and whole-blood collection volume accounted for 2.36% and 2.37% of the corresponding totals, respectively. Conclusion: Under current health screening and standardized donor management, donors aged 56-65 years did not show an increased risk of short-term donation-related adverse reactions and demonstrated a higher annual donation frequency, together with a measurable contribution to the blood supply. These findings support appropriately extending the upper age limit for voluntary blood donation under strict health screening to broaden the donor pool and supplement the blood supply.

Objective: To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures. Methods: Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination. Conclusion The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

Objective To systematically evaluate the methodological quality and the measurement attributes of the assessment tools for risk of falls perception in the elderly,therefore to provide evidence-based references for medical staff to select a proper assessment tool.Methods Literature on studies of the assessment tools for risk of falls perception in the elderly was retrieved across databases and websites including Medline,Embase,PubMed,Web of Science,CINAHL,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Data,VIP and China Biology Medicine(CBM).The retrieval period was from the inception of the databases to 1st June,2024.Two researchers independently screened the retrieved literature and extracted the data.The bias risk list and quality standards of the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments(COSMIN)were used to systematically evaluate the attributes of the assessment tools.Results A total of 22 studies were included,covering 21 scales for the risk of falls perception in the elderly.All the scales had certain risks of bias,and none of them reported cross-cultural validity/measurement equivalence and measurement error.The fall risk questionnaire(FRQ)was rated as Class C recommendation due to the high-quality evidences indicated its"inadequate"internal consistency and responsiveness.The remaining scales were rated as Class B recommendation due to their uncertainty in content validity.Conclusion In comparison with the assessment tools for risk of falls perception in the elderly,the self-awareness of falls in elderly scale(SAFE,a primary choice)and the fall risk perception scale for the elderly in community(FRPSE,the secondary choice)are recommended for their comprehensive structure of measurement and relatively complete evaluation of measurement.However,further studies are required to validate the clinical applicability and measurement attributes of the SAFE and FRPSE.

Objective:To investigate the value of a multi-parameter MRI nomogram model in evaluating the recurrence risk of hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer.Methods:This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinicopathological data (age, menopausal status, axillary lymph node metastasis, etc.) and imaging data of 220 patients with HR-positive breast cancer who underwent breast MRI examination and were pathologically confirmed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2018 to December 2023. All patients underwent preoperative MRI examinations. Their MRI features were analyzed, and the maximum diameter of the lesion and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value were measured. Finally, the clinical treatment score (CTS5 score) after 5 years was calculated, and all patients were divided into a low recurrence risk (CTS5 score 3.13 points) and a medium to high recurrence risk (CTS5 score≥3.13 points) group. The patients were followed up through the electronic medical record system or by phone until December 31, 2024 to determine recurrence status. The patients were divided into the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group. The differences in clinicopathological data, MRI features and CTS5 scores between the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group were compared using independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests or χ2 tests. Indicators with P0.05 in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression to screen the independent risk factors for predicting the recurrence of HR receptor-positive breast cancer, and a nomogram was constructed to establish the nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the efficacy of the nomogram model in predicting the postoperative recurrence risk of patients with HR-positive breast cancer. The variance inflation factor (VIF) was used to evaluate the multicollinearity among independent variables. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the fit and net clinical benefit of the nomogram model. Results:Among 220 patients with HR-positive breast cancer, 196 cases were in the non-recurrence group and 24 cases were in the recurrence group. There were statistically significant differences in the maximum diameter of the lesion, axillary lymph node metastasis, ADC value, CTS5 grouping, and CTS5 score between the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group ( P0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the lesion ( OR=1.110, 95% CI 1.169-1.503, P0.001), ADC value ( OR=0.993, 95% CI 0.993?0.989, P0.001), and axillary lymph node metastasis ( OR=8.842; 95% CI 2.120?36.884, P=0.003) were independent factors influencing postoperative recurrence in patients with HR-positive breast cancer, and a nomogram model was constructed based on this. VIF analysis showed that no significant multicollinearity was detected among the variables (VIF5). The AUC value of the nomogram model for predicting postoperative recurrence in patients with HR-positive breast cancer was 0.868 (95% CI 0.794-0.942), the sensitivity was 0.875, and the specificity was 0.781. The calibration curve showed that the prediction curve of this model for predicting postoperative recurrence in HR-positive breast cancer patients was basically consistent with the ideal curve trend. DCA showed that this model had a relatively high clinical benefit within the threshold probability range of 0.01% to 90.00%. Conclusion:The nomogram constructed based on multi-parameter MRI features can predict the postoperative recurrence risk of HR-positive breast cancer patients, with good consistency and predictive ability.

Objective To observe the value of synthetic MRI(SyMRI)MAGnetic resonance image Compilation(MAGiC)sequence parameters for differentiating cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma.Methods Sixty-six patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer were retrospectively enrolled and divided into cervical squamous cell carcinoma group(n=56)and cervical adenocarcinoma group(n=10).Quantitative MAGiC parameters were collected and compared between groups,and those being significantly different were combined to construct a logistic regression model.The performance of each parameter alone and their combination for differentiating cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the area under the curve(AUC).Results In cervical adenocarcinoma group,lesions's T1 and T2 were higher,while R1 and R2 were lower than those in cervical squamous cell carcinoma group(all P＜0.05).No statistically significant difference of proton density was found between groups(P＞0.05).The AUC of T1,T2,R1,R2 alone and their combination for differentiating cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma was 0.959,0.945,0.961,0.942 and 0.996,respectively,and no significant difference was found between each two ones(Z=0.267 to 1.396,all P＞0.05).Conclusion SyMRI had high value for differentiating cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To observe the changes of serum proteins in the mice with carbapenem-resistant hyperviru-lent Klebsiella pneumoniae(CR-hvKP)bloodstream infection by using liquid chromatogram-mass spectrometer(LC-MS),find out the differentially expressed proteins and carry out corresponding biological function analysis.METHODS The models of ICR mice with CR-hvKP and classical Klebsiella pneumoniae(cKP)bloodstream infec-tions were established,the serum specimens were collected from the mice at 12 hours of establishment of the in-fection models and were detected by using LC-MS.The result of LC-MS was identified by using Maxquant soft-ware.The corresponding bioinformatics analysis was performed for the differentially expressed proteins.RESULTS As compared with the normal control group,there were 24 upregulated proteins and 20 downregulated proteins in CR-hvKP group.As compared with cKP group,there were 107 upregulated proteins in the CR-hvKP group.The 134 differentially expressed proteins were retrieved one by one from Uniprot database,it was found that the pro-teins were involved in biological regulation,immune process,biological interaction,movement,metabolic process,response to stimulation,signal transduction,inflammatory response,oxidative stress and angiogenesis.The signal pathway analysis involved multiple metabolism-related pathways,including complement and coagula-tion cascades,cholesterol metabolism,bacterial infection,heme clearance,and assembly,remodeling and clear-ance of plasma lipoprotein.In terms of the proteins being attached great importance,the expression levels of kal-likrein B1(KLKB1)and serpin family A(Serpina)1b were downregulated as compared with the normal control group and were upregulated as compared with the cKP group;the expression levels of serum amyloid A protein(SAA)1,SAA2,Vanin-3(VNN3)and hemoglobinβpolypeptide chain b2(HBB-b2)were upregulated as com-pared with both the cKP group and the normal control group.CONCLUSIONS The CR-hvKP bloodstream infection involves the activation and action of multiple proteins.The rise of SAA1,SAA2,VNN3 and HBB-b2 or the de-cline of KLKB1 and Serpina1b may indicate the CR-hvKP bloodstream infection.

Objective:To investigate the clinical data, drug resistance and treatment prognosis of Cryptococcus neoformans isolated from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) in a hospital in Shanghai. Methods:The clinical data of AIDS patients with Cryptococcus neoformans infection in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 2014 to December 2023, and the drug sensitivity to 5 antifungal drugs in vitro, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results:From January 2014 to December 2023, there were 295 AIDS patients with Cryptococcus neoformans infection in our hospital, with 255 males and 40 females. CD4 + T lymphocyte counts ≤100 cells/μl were detected in 251 patients. A total of 384 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans were isolated from the 295 patients, with the highest detection rate in cerebrospinal fluid samples (65.9%, 253/384), followed by blood samples (29.4%, 113/384). The sensitivity of 384 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans to 5-fluorocytosine was the highest (98.5%, 379/384), followed by fluconazole (95.6%, 367/384) and amphotericin B (95.3%, 366/384). After treatment against cryptococcal infection, 252 patients (86.0%, 252/293) were discharged and 20 patients (6.8%, 20/293) died. The other 2 cases were not treated for cryptococcal infection. Conclusions:As Cryptococcus neoformans is an important pathogen of AIDS patients, clinicians should actively carry out laboratory examination of Cryptococcus and rational drug use according to the results of drug sensitivity test, while alert to the occurrence of drug resistance.

Objective:To compare the accuracy and applicability of three adult height prediction methods based on artificial intelligence-assisted bone age assessment—the Bayley-Pinneau method(BP method), the Tanner-Whitehouse 3 method(TW3 method), and China 05 method—in girls.Methods:This bidirectional cohort study collected clinical data and 690 posteroanterior X-ray images of the left hand from 278 female children who underwent pubertal development assessments at Shenzhen Children′s Hospital between January 2014 and December 2020, with follow-up until adult height was reached. Adult height prediction was performed using BP, TW3, and China 05 methods on artificial intelligence-assisted bone age assessment.Results:The BP and TW3 methods overestimated adult height by(1.7±3.7) cm and(2.6±3.0) cm, respectively, while the China 05 method underestimated adult height by(2.3±3.5) cm. The proportion of PAH within±5 cm of FAH were 80.0% for the TW3 method, 77.0% for the BP method, and 74.2% for the China 05 method, with significant differences among them( P=0.038). Analysis of cases with prediction deviations>10 cm and subgroup comparisons revealed that the TW3 and BP methods were more likely to overestimate adult height in girls aged 6.0-<8.0 years, with delayed bone age, or in the prepubertal stage(all P<0.001). The China 05 method was more prone to underestimate adult height in those with advanced bone age( P<0.001). All three methods showed significantly greater prediction errors(absolute difference between PAH and FAH) in girls with early puberty compared to those with normal pubertal development(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The TW3 and BP methods tend to overestimate adult height in girls, while the China 05 method tends to underestimate it. Caution is warranted when predicting adult height, particularly in girls under 8 years of bone age, with delayed or advanced bone age, and those with early puberty.
