Objective: To explore the relative importance of different food attributes and levels in food decision making of school aged children, and to understand their meal preferences, so as to provide the evidence for formulating precise intervention strategies for dietary behaviours of school aged children. Methods: From May to June 2024, a total of 854 children aged 11 to 15 years old were selected from 2 middle schools (each school in urban and rural areas) in both Hubei Province and Anhui Province by stratified cluster random sampling method to conduct a D-optimal discrete choice experiment. The mixed Logit model was used to analyze children s preference for meal attributes and different levels, and to calculate the relative importance (RI) of attributes and willingness to pay (WTP) in meal choices. Results: The included five food attributes had statistical significance on meal choice of school aged children ( P <0.05). The relative importance of food attributes affecting the meal choices of school aged children in descending order were dining mode ( RI =31.26%), food varieties ( RI =30.56%), cooking method( RI =23.84%), taste( RI =8.06%) and price ( RI =6.27%). Among them, school aged children preferred home cooked meals ( β =0.74) (WTP=86.3 yuan),varied foods(grain/tubers+vegetables+fish, meat, eggs and beans) ( β =0.61) (WTP=71.9 yuan), fried/roasted cooking ( β =0.51) and spicy taste ( β =0.33).Price was negatively correlated with meal choices( β =-0.01) ( P <0.05). Based on residential area and body mass index (BMI), the stratified analysis showed that dining mode was highest in the relative importance for rural children with overweight and obese children ( RI =31.28%,34.17%), both of whom preferred home cooked meals ( β =0.76, 0.91), and meals containing fish, meat, eggs and beans with grain/tubers or grain/tubers and vegetables in terms of food choice (area: β =0.53, 0.53 ; BMI: β =0.55, 0.56) ( P <0.05). Conclusions School aged children have different preferences for different attributes of meals. The quality of school meals should be improved,the cost of buying healthy meals should be reduced,targeted family health education should be carried out,and healthy cooking methods should be advocated.

Objective To evaluate an ultrasound-based deep learning radiomics nomogram(DLR_Nomo-gram)for non-invasively differentiating between type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)before surgery.Methods In this study,a cohort of 195 patients diagnosed with EOC was analyzed.Participants were randomly divided into a training set and a testing set at an 8∶2 ratio.Following data preprocessing,region of interest(ROI)delineation,feature extraction and selection,as well as the clipping and extraction of the maximum section sonogram for each sample,three initial models were developed:the radiomics signature(Rad_Sig),the deep transfer learning signature(DTL_Sig),and the clinical signature(Clinic_Sig).Subsequently,an integrated model—referred to as the DLR_Nomogram—was constructed by combining Rad_Sig,DTL_Sig,and Clinic_Sig,and was presented in the form of a nomogram.The performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the corresponding area under the curve(AUC).Results In the testing set,the DLR_Nomogram demonstrated superior predictive performance(AUC:0.951,95%CI:0.876～1.000)compared to Rad_Sig(AUC:0.709,95%CI:0.539～0.880),DTL_Sig(AUC:0.842,95%CI:0.712～0.972),and Clinic_Sig(AUC:0.916,95%CI:0.827～1.000).The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test for the DLR_Nomogram resulted in a p-value exceeding 0.05,indicating adequate model calibration.Moreover,decision curve analysis revealed that the DLR_No-mogram offers a higher net clinical benefit across a defined range of threshold probabilities.Conclusions The ultrasound-based DLR_Nomogram exhibits a robust ability to differentiate between Type Ⅰ and Type Ⅱ EOC,and may serve as a valuable clinical tool for guiding individualized preoperative diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of toric collamer lens (TICL) rotation on myopia combined with astigmatism correction after V4c TICL implantation using standardized vector analysis.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.A total of 152 patients (268 eyes) who underwent V4c TICL implantation for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism were enrolled at Henan Eye Hospital from January to December 2021.The preoperative spherical diopter, cylindrical diopter, and spherical equivalent (SE) were -15.00 to -3.25 D, -5.00 to -0.50 D, -16.50 to -3.88 D, respectively.Postoperative TICL vault and axis were measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and postoperative TICL rotation was calculated.Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical diopter, cylindrical diopter, SE, and target astigmatism vector were recorded before and 1 month after surgery.The effectiveness index, safety index, surgically induced astigmatism vector (SIA), margin of error (ME), absolute value of the difference vector |DV|, correction index (CI), and achievement index (IS) were calculated based on the subjective refraction results 1 month after surgery and the cylindrical axis of the V4c TICL.Vector analysis parameters was compared among patients with different preoperative astigmatism, intraoperative TICL fixation, postoperative TICL rotation, and postoperative vault.The correlation between postoperative TICL rotation and TICL fixed angle deviation, postoperative vault, visual acuity and refraction, and vector analysis parameters were evaluated.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2021[13]).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:At 1 month postoperatively, the mean safety and efficacy indices were 1.27 and 1.29, respectively.There was no statistically significant difference between the predicted SE of (-0.11±0.13)D and the postoperative SE of (-0.07±0.52)D ( t=-0.994, P=0.321).UCVA, BCVA and cylinder diopter in the operative eyes were all improved after surgery compared to before surgery and the differences were statistically significant ( t=17.854, 5.446, -25.634; all P<0.001).The rotation of V4c TICL was 0° to 25°, with a mean of (5.41±4.35)°, which was positively correlated with the V4c TICL fixed angle deviation ( rs=0.461, P<0.001), negatively correlated with postoperative cylindrical diopter and positively correlated with postoperative UCVA, |DV| and SIA ( r=-0.360, 0.191, 0.205, 0.142; all P<0.05).Vector analysis between groups showed that vault, SIA and |DV| were higher and CI and IS were lower in low astigmatism group than in high astigmatism group ( Z=-3.017, -13.569, -2.793, -2.761, -4.779; all P<0.05).V4c TICL rotation and |DV| were lower in low fixation angle difference group than in high fixation angle difference group ( Z=-7.865, -2.080; both P<0.05).Preoperative cylindrical diopter, intraoperative V4c TICL fixed angle deviation, SIA and |DV| were lower in low rotation group than in high rotation group ( Z=-2.104, -4.578, -2.456, -2.090; all P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the TICL rotation or in each vector between patients with different vault after the surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:V4c TICL implantation can achieve good results for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.There is a slight difference between the fixation axis and the target axis of V4c TICL, which affects the rotation of V4c TICL and |DV|.Postoperative V4c TICL rotation is related to TICL fixed angle deviation, postoperative UCVA, SIA, |DV| and postoperative cylindrical diopter.Postoperative vault has no significant effect on TICL rotation and differences in each vector.

Objective:To identify the trajectories of dietary choline intake in middle-aged and older population, and to analyze its longitudinal association with cognitive function.Methods:Subjects aged 55 to 79 years with at least two rounds of completed population economics, lifestyle, disease history, cognitive function, dietary assessments and physical measurements in 1997-2018 and those with at least three rounds of dietary measures in 1991-2015 were selected from the China Health and Nutrition Survey. Dietary survey was conducted using three consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls combined with a weighing inventory at the household level. Cognitive assessment was performed using part of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status Scale. Group-based univariate trajectory modeling was used to identify trajectory of choline intake, and three-level linear mixed-effects models or three-level logistic mixed-effects models was employed to analyze the relationship between trajectory groups and cognitive function. Subgroup analyses were conducted by gender and age at baseline.Results:Four trajectories of dietary choline intake were identified in the whole population, named as low-intake-stable group (61.0%), medium-intake-stable group (23.9%), medium-intake-slowly-declined group (11.2%), and high-intake-stable group (3.9%). Three trajectories were identified for each subgroup. Low-intake-stable group accounted for more than 60% in total population as well as each subgroup, especially in women and 55-59 years group. After adjusting for covariates, global cognitive scores were 0.54 (95% CI: 0.26-0.82), 0.77 (95% CI: 0.36-1.18), and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.21-1.48) points higher in medium-intake-stable, medium-intake- slowly-declined and high-intake-stable groups in the whole population, respectively, compared with the low-intake-stable group. The likelihoods of cognitive decline were 18.4% ( OR=0.816,95% CI: 0.709-0.939), 17.6% ( OR=0.824, 95% CI: 0.680-0.998), 24.4% ( OR=0.756, 95% CI: 0.589-0.970) and 22.4% ( OR=0.776,95% CI: 0.623-0.968) lower in medium-intake-stable group of dietary choline in the whole population, medium-intake-stable group in males, medium-intake-slightly-increased group in females and medium-intake-slowly-increased group in 55-59 years at baseline than in low-intake-stable group, respectively. Conclusions:Dietary choline intake is generally lower in the Chinese population aged 55-79 years. Long-term lower choline intake has a negative impact on cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults and may increase the risk of cognitive decline. The increment in the consumption of choline-enriched foods should be recommended.

Objective:To introduce an innovative concept teaching method called the core case analysis (CCA), to evaluate its application in teaching, and to provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for improving teaching effectiveness and cultivating practical talents.Methods:This paper elaborated the application strategies of CCA in teaching health service management courses. All the students of two undergraduate classes who studied "health service management" and enrolled in 2021 and 2020 at a medical university were selected as the research objects. The students were divided into experimental group and control group according to whether they received the CCA teaching method. A statistical analysis was performed on the scores of single-choice questions designed for concept definition and term explanation questions in the final exam. SPSS 23.0 software was used for t test. A questionnaire survey was conducted in the experimental group to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of teaching with the CCA method. Results:The score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group [(14.00±1.41) vs. (12.05±2.15), P=0.002]. The questionnaire showed that the teaching effectiveness of the CCA method and the students' acceptance of the method were relatively high. Conclusions:Compared with the traditional concept teaching method, the CCA method has advantages and is worthy of promotion and application in related teaching fields. Moreover, several key points of this method in teaching practice are put forward: emphasizing the combined use of multiple teaching methods, cultivating a professional teaching team, and optimizing the concept assessment and evaluation system.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for relevant departments to improve the drug provision in children’s hospitals and further implement clinical management practices for rational drug use in pediatric patients. METHODS According to the drug purchasing statistics of four sample class A tertiary children’s hospitals in Jiangsu province from 2012 to 2023， this study systematically reviewed and analyzed the drug provision and utilization in children’s hospitals， including the number of pharmaceuticals procured and used in hospitals， the concentration of drug usage among different hospitals， the situation of drugs recommended by the National Essential Medicine List and children’s clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines， and the standardization of clinical medication. RESULTS In 2023， the number of commonly used drugs in 4 tertiary children’s hospitals was 922 varieties and 1 401 specifications， which was significantly lower than the total number of currently marketed children’s drugs. However， the concentration of drug usage among different hospitals was not high， with the proportion of drugs supplied and used in only one hospital accounting for approximately 40% and 50% respectively in terms of drug variety and specification. At present， among the drugs procured and used in sample children’s hospitals， the proportion of national essential medicines basically maintained between 30% and 40%， while drugs which could be safely and effectively used for children was about 60%. In addition， around 40% of the drug varieties recommended in pediatric clinical practice guidelines had also been applied in clinical treatment. Nevertheless， about 30% to 40% of prescription behavior was dependent on doctors’ personal experience and the phenomena of drugs prohibited and unsuitable use for children still existed. CONCLUSIONS Although the number of clinical medications for children in China is limited， there are significant differences in the overall medication choices made by hospitals. The scientific， rational and standardized use of clinical medications also needs to be further strengthened.

General practice standardized residency training is a crucial part of postgraduate education for cultivating general practitioner. The factors influencing the quality of general practice residency training cover various aspects such as the residents themselves, teaching staff, management and decision-making levels, as well as teaching resources. Guided by the goal of "fostering virtue through education", and integrated the spirit of Norman Bethune and modern innovation theories and the educational philosophy, the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University has carried out comprehensive reforms in this field. It has constructed a PDCA cycle management system based on the concept of total quality management to improve the quality of education from multiple links such as quality planning and process monitoring. In terms of faculty development, based on the dissipative structure theory, a mechanism of "selection, evaluation, incentive, and elimination" has been established. Teacher communities have been formed and a training college has been established to strengthen the teaching team. In terms of platform construction, the linkage between "teaching base-community" and "on campus-off campus" has been strengthened and resources have been integrated. The reform has achieved remarkable results, and our practice may provide a reference for general practice medical education.
