1.Impact of milk and egg supplementation on body composition and bone mineral density of rural primary school students in Yunnan Province
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(10):1401-1405
Objective:
To investigate the impact of milk and egg supplementation on body composition and bone mineral density of rural primary school students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide a reference for developing targeted nutritional intervention strategies.
Methods:
In December 2023, a cluster sampling method was adopted to select students from grades one to three in four primary schools each from Jinggu and Shidian countys of Yunnan Province, as the intervention group (662 students). Additionally, two boarding primary schools were selected from each county based on the principle of matching scale and student numbers as the control group (455 students). Starting from April 2023, the intervention group received 200 mL milk and 50 g eggs during the break on school days for 8 months, while the control group maintained their usual diet behavior. Body composition was measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis, and distal radial bone mineral density was assessed via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in April and December 2023. The intervention effects were analyzed by using a difference in-differences approach.
Results:
The final measurements of body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass and fat free mass of the intervention group and the control group of primary school students were significantly higher than the baseline values, and the net effect of milk and egg intervention on these body composition indicators was not statistically significant ( P >0.05, both before and after adjustment). In contrast, bone mineral density increased significantly by 0.02 g/cm 2 in the intervention group. The net intervention effect on bone mineral density was statistically significant ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04), and remained significant after model adjustment ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04) (both P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed statistically significant effects of the intervention among girls ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04), day students ( β=0.04, 95%CI =0.01-0.07), and students with normal nutritional status ( β=0.02, 95%CI =0.00-0.04) (all P <0.05). No significant effect of milk and egg supplementation was observed on body composition indicators (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Milk and egg supplementation can improve bone mineral density among rural primary school students in Yunnan Province. It is recommended that rural school aged children should increase intake of milk and eggs to support growth and development.

Objective:
To identify ferroptosis-related genes associated with gastric cancer prognosis and investigate their potential molecular functions.
Methods:
Gene expression profiles and clinical information of gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were obtained from TCGA database. Differential expression analysis of ferroptosis-related genes was performed using the "DESeq2" package in R software. Key genes were identified and a prognostic model for gastric cancer was constructed through Cox regression analysis based on the LASSO algorithm. Patients were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the median risk score. The accuracy of the model was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and ROC curve analysis. Immune cell infiltration in gastric cancer patients was assessed with the "CIBERSORT" package. The mRNA expression of differentially expressed genes(DEGs) with prognostic significance was examined in both gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissue samples. In vitro experiments were conducted to validate the impact of hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1(HCAR1) on the malignant biological behavior of gastric cancer.
Results:
Based on ferroptosis-related genes from the TCGA database, a novel prognostic model was constructed. It demonstrated robust predictive power for survival in both training and validation cohorts. RT-qPCR analysis of 8 pairs of gastric cancer and normal tissues revealed that the expression patterns of 6 prognostic DEGs in cancer tissues were consistent with those predicted by the model. In vitro experiments confirmed that downregulation of the key gene HCAR1 could inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of gastric cancer cells.
Conclusion
The ferroptosis-related gene based prognostic model exhibits robust predictive capability, allowing for accurate determination of prognosis and survival in individuals with gastric cancer.

The safety and efficacy of a compound endoscopic dissection knife were evaluated in animal models. The compound endoscopic dissection knife can readily switch between Dual knife mode and IT knife mode. Vitro experiments were done on 30 mucosal lesion models and 30 submucosal lesion models, respectively, of pig stomach tissue. In vivo experiments, mucosal lesion resection were performed on each 10 lesions of gastrointestinal tract in 6 porcine models. The compound endoscopic dissection knife were used in the experimental group, and Dual knife combined with IT knife were used in the control group. Dissection time were recorded. The wounds were biopsied to evaluate muscle damage. The results of vitro experiment showed the dissection time of mucosal and submucosal lesions in the experiment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (17.93±2.52 min VS 21.07±3.58 min, t=-2.774, P=0.010; 25.73±2.66 min VS 31.80±3.78 min, t=-5.081, P<0.001). The results of vivo experiment showed the dissection time in the experiment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (21.67±4.10 min VS 25.36±3.83 min, t=-3.602, P=0.001). The muscle damage rate was lower in the experimental group, but the difference was not statistically significant [3.3% (1/30) VS 10.0% (3/30), χ2=1.071, P=0.612]. The compound endoscopic dissection knife is both safe and effective in animal models.

Various types of industrial parks in Shanghai play an important role in promoting industrial upgrading and technological progress, yet they are also fraught with occupational health hazards. To effectively promote workplace health and enable various industrial parks to play a positive role, the Shanghai Municipal Government has proposed accelerating the construction of healthy industrial parks. To meet the requirements for the scientific and standardized construction of healthy parks, the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has compiled the Guidelines for Healthy Industrial Park Construction(Guidelines). Adhering to the overall principles of scientific, feasibility, advancement, and standardization, the Guidelines address three construction levels: industrial parks, employers, and employees. They set clear requirements for organizational management, healthy environments, health services, health activities, and occupational health in the workplaces, respectively. The Shanghai healthy industrial park evaluation form was provided as an informative appendix for the Guidelines. The Guidelines offer a scientific basis for standardizing and guiding the construction of healthy industrial parks, providing new solutions and technical support for urban occupational health management.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).

Background Long working hours are a common occupational health risk factor. The problem of long working hours and its impact on health of medical staff cannot be ignored. Objective To investigate long working hours in medical staff of tertiary grade A hospitals in Shanghai, and evaluate the relationships of long working hours with occupational stress and fatigue accumulation. Methods A total of 1531 medical staff in departments of emergency, internal medicine, surgery, intensive care unit (ICU), anesthesiology, and obstetrics and gynecology from 6 hospitals in 6 districts of Shanghai were selected using stratified random sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on social demographics, occupational characteristics, andbehavior and lifestyle. The Core Occupational Stress Scale (COSS) and the Self-diagnostic Questionnaire on the Accumulation of Fatigue of Laborers were used to assess occupational stress and fatigue accumulation condition. Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the distributions of long working hours, occupational stress, and fatigue accumulation, log-binomial models were used to analyze the relationships of long working hours with occupational stress and fatigue accumulation, and job title stratified models were also constructed. Results The average weekly working hours of the study subjects was (47.84±11.40) h, 65.90% of the medical staff worked more than 40 h every week. The percentages of the weekly working hours categories of 41-48 h, 49-54 h, and ≥55 h were 31.42%, 13.46%, and 21.03%, respectively. The positive rates of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation were 25.87% and 65.64% respectively, and the differences among different age, gender, job title, education, length of service, and shift system groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of log-binomial regression showed that after adjusting for gender, age, monthly income, marital status, education, physical exercise, smoking, job position, length of service, and shift system, weekly working hours were an influencing factor of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation (P<0.05). Compared with weekly working hours≤40 h, the risk, PR(95%CI), of reporting occupational stress and fatigue accumulation increased to 2.595 (1.989, 3.385) and 1.578 (1.349, 1.845) times respectively for weekly working hours≥55 h (P<0.001). The results of job title stratification analysis showed that the risk of occupational stress among physicians, nurses, and medical technicians increased when weekly working hours≥55 h versus ≤40 h, and the PR (95%CI) values were 2.003 (1.383, 2.902), 1.971 (1.068, 3.636), and 2.770 (1.220, 6.288), respectively (P<0.05). The risk of fatigue accumulation was increased in physicians when weekly working hour≥55 h versus ≤40 h, with a PR (95%CI) value of 1.594 (1.208, 2.103) (P<0.001). Conclusion Long working hours are common among medical personnel and related to the occurrence of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation.
