Objective: To explore the experiences of obesity among junior high school students, and reveal its core themes and essential features, so as to provide evidence for health promotion. Methods: From March to August 2025, semi structured in depth interviews were conducted with 22 obese junior high school students (15 boys,7 girls) aged 13-16 years from two junior high schools in Beijing and one junior high school in Shenyang.Each interview lasted about 40 minutes, and the outline of the interview mainly involved three dimensions: obesity experience, obesity life experience, suggestions and future expectations. Data were analyzed using Moustakas phenomenological method. Results: A total of 4 core themes and 13 sub themes were identified: health experiences (external discipline, health conflicts, perceptual tension), exercise experiences (restricted activity, weight loss expectations, psychological catharsis, physical education test pressure), emotional experiences (appearance anxiety, self soothing, generalized impact), and social experiences (social devaluation, external support, covert suppression). Conclusions Obesity is a complex experience co-constructed by body awareness, physiological indicators, and sociocultural factors. Interventions should enhance students’ body awareness, facilitate a shift from external discipline to internal motivation, and form a collaborative health promotion pathway involving families, schools, and society.

Objective To investigate the value of patient data-based real-time quality control(PBRTQC)in internal quality control(IQC)for blood cells analysis based on the data from patients.Methods The data of patients'blood cells,including white blood cell count(WBC),hemoglobin(Hb),red blood cell count(RBC),hematocrit(HCT),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean cor-puscular hemoglobin(MCH),mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC),and platelet(PLT)were collected from August 1,2023 to February 26,2024,and the extracted patient data were analyzed on the AI-based real-time quality control intelligent moni-toring platform.The corresponding IQC data for this period were reviewed,and the results of PBRTQC and IQC were compared and an-alyzed.The causes of the emerging warning or alarm prompts were checked and analyzed to explore the application value of PBRTQC in the IQC process of blood cell analysis.Results It is found that when the quality control product was unstable due to overlong opening time of the reagent or improper storage conditions,and the performance changes of the operating system during the detection process,the PBRTQC intelligent monitoring platform was able to issue risk warning or alarm prompt in advance.PBRTQC may have certain limi-tations,such as the error of red blood cell count,which need to be identified.Conclusion PBRTQC is superior to IQC in blood cell analysis and may play a complementary role in IQC.Meanwhile,it is necessary to exclude the possibility that PBRTQC is significantly influenced by the patient population in medical laboratories.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of the new auxiliary analysis software in chromosomal aberration analysis of radiation workers during occupational health examinations.Methods:Health examination data of 2 469 radiation workers in Henan province were collected. Manual analysis of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes was conducted using the new auxiliary software and the Ikaros software. Then, the chromosomal aberrations detected using both software tools were compared.Results:The new auxiliary software yielded a lower chromosomal aberration rate among radiation workers compared with the Ikaros software [(0.314 ± 0.014)% vs. (0.391 ± 0.022)%, χ2 = 9.24, P = 0.002]. Notably, the new auxiliary software yielded a significantly lower rate of acentric fragments (ace) [(0.136 ± 0.009)% vs. (0.209 ± 0.020)%, χ2= 17.76, P < 0.001]. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the result of the two software tools in the rates of dicentrics plus rings (dic + r) and translocations ( P > 0.05). According to the GBZ/T 248-2014 standard, the differences in abnormality rates of chromosomal aberrations between the two groups had no statistically significance ( P > 0.05), with both groups showing an abnormality rate of 0 for ace. Furthermore, the new auxiliary software could double the detection efficiency. Among pre-service radiation workers of various occupations, the differences in the chromosomal aberrations detected using the two software tools exhibited statistical significance ( χ2 = 10.26, P = 0.001). In contrast, the differences in the chromosomal aberrations among in-service and post-service radiation workers had no statistically different significance ( P>0.05). The Poisson regression analysis result demonstrated that the rate of chromosomal aberrations excluding ace was affected by age ( z = 2.73, P = 0.006), while gender, analysis method, service status, and occupation had no impact. Conclusions:The two software tools yielded largely consistent result in detecting chromosomal aberrations induced by exposure to ionizing radiation. Notably, the new auxiliary software can significantly improve detection efficiency, indicating the feasibility of applying it to chromosomal aberration analysis among radiation workers.

Objective:To explore the application value of patient data-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) in enhancing the effectiveness of internal quality control (IQC) management.Methods:From the PBRTQC real-time quality control intelligent monitoring platform integrated with the laboratory information system (LIS), a total of 35,631 test results of red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) were collected from patients of the Department of General Xi'an Area Medical Laboratory Center from August 1, 2023, to April 1, 2024. The platform was used in patient data distribution characteristics test, EWMA real-time quality control chart procedure establishment, performance validation, effect evaluation, best procedure selection, and real-time operation. The performance evaluation indexes of the best PBRTQC procedure establishment, the cut-off limit range, weighting coefficient, cumulative mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation ( CV) of the EWMA real-time quality control chart, and the cumulative mean, SD, and CV of its internal quality control data in the same period were counted, and at the same time compared with the quality target (1/3TEa). Coefficient of variation analyses were performed to compare the quality control status of PBRTQC and conventional internal quality control in the presence of warning or alarm prompts based on quality control process records, and alarm messages. Results:The evaluation indexes of the optimal procedures for RBC count, WBC count, and DHEA-S were the probability of error detection (Ped) between 93%-97% and greater than 90%, the false positive rate (FPR) between 0.0%-0.5%, the false negative rate (FNR) between 3.0%-7.0%, and the average number of the patient sample until error detection (ANPed) between 5-11, which is in line with the optimal quality control efficacy quality requirements for the PBRTQC procedure. The patient outcome cut-off concentrations for the optimal procedure EWMA quality control charts ranged from RBC count (3.92-5.16)×10 12/L, WBC count (4.28-7.50)×10 9/L, and DHEA-S (830-2 160) μg/L; (2 160-4 210) μg/L. The weighting coefficients were 0.05, 0.03, and 0.03, respectively. The real-world application of the EWMA real-time quality control charts showed stable and excellent analytical performance of the measurement system, such as out-of-control alarm: RBC count, 1 true alarm, Ped of 95.85%, and FPR of 0%. The cumulative CV of EWMA was less than the quality target; the cumulative CV of DHEA-S was 7.66% and 9.47%, respectively, and the cumulative CV of low level was greater than the quality target (8.33%), and the cumulative CV of high and low levels were 4.12% and 6.25%. Conclusion:The PBRTQC EWMA method can monitor the patient data - in real-time and continuous way. It can also dynamically identify and provide early indication of small changes in analytical performance during the analysis process, and can be used as a supplement to quality control products to improve the efficacy of laboratory quality management.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the main analytical techniques for detecting metabolomics, which has the advantages of simple operation, rapid detection and non-invasive feature. By monitoring the changes of metabolites in the body, it is helpful to deeply understand the mechanism of disease and play a role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, but its clinical application has not yet been popularized. In recent years, the application of metabolomics in tumors has increasingly become a research hotspot. Therefore, in order to provide a reference for the research and clinical application of tumor metabolomics, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and tumor metabolomics were introduced in this paper, and the application progress of metabolomics analysis based on this technique in early tumor screening, clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation were reviewed in this paper.

Objective:To investigate the changes of intestinal microecology in the early stage of sepsis rat model by 16S rDNA sequencing.Methods:Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group and sham operation group (Sham group), with 30 rats in each group. In the CLP group, sepsis rat model was reproduced by CLP method; the rats in the Sham group only underwent laparotomy without CLP. At 24 hours after the operation, the intestinal feces and serum samples of 8 rats in each group were collected. The survival rate of the rest rats was observed until the 7th day. The level of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Intestinal feces were sequenced by 16S rDNA sequencing technology. The operational taxonomic unit (OTU) data obtained after sequence comparison and clustering was used for α diversity and β diversity analysis, principal coordinate analysis and linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis (LEfSe) to observe the changes of intestinal microecology in early sepsis rats and excavate the marker flora.Results:At 24 hours after the reproduction of the model, the rats in the CLP group showed shortness of breath, scattered hair and other manifestations, and the level of serum TNF-α increased significantly as compared with that in the Sham group (ng/L: 43.95±9.05 vs. 11.08±3.27, P < 0.01). On the 7th day after modeling, the cumulative survival rate of the Sham group was 100%, while that of the CLP group was 31.82%. Diversity analysis showed that there was no significant difference in α diversity parameter between the Sham group and the CLP group (number of species: 520.00±52.15 vs. 492.25±86.61, Chao1 richness estimator: 707.25±65.69 vs. 668.93±96.50, Shannon index: 5.74±0.42 vs. 5.79±0.91, Simpson index: 0.93±0.03 vs. 0.94±0.05, all P > 0.05). However, the β diversity analysis showed that the difference between groups was greater than that within groups whether weighted according to OTU or not (abundance weighted matrix: R = 0.23, P = 0.04; abundance unweighted matrix: R = 0.32, P = 0.01). At the phylum level, the abundance of Proteobacteria and Candidatus_sacchari in the CLP group increased significantly as compared with the Sham group [18.100% (15.271%, 26.665%) vs. 6.974% (2.854%, 9.764%), 0.125% (0.027%, 0.159%)% vs. 0.018% (0.008%, 0.021%), both P < 0.05]. At the genus level, the abundance of opportunistic pathogen including Helicobacter, Ruthenium, Streptococcus, Clostridium ⅩⅧ in the CLP group was significantly higher than that in the Sham group [5.090% (1.812%, 6.598%) vs. 0.083% (0.034%, 0.198%), 0.244% (0.116%, 0.330%) vs. 0.016% (0.008%, 0.029%), 0.006% (0.003%, 0.010%) vs. 0.001% (0%, 0.003%), 0.094% (0.035%, 0.430%) vs. 0.007% (0.003%, 0.030%), all P < 0.05], and the abundance of probiotics such as Alloprevotella and Romboustia was significantly lower than that in the Sham group [7.345% (3.662%, 11.546%) vs. 22.504% (14.403%, 26.928%), 0.113% (0.047%, 0.196%) vs. 1.229% (0.809%, 2.29%), both P < 0.01]. LEfSe analysis showed that the probiotics belonging to Firmicutes were significantly enriched in the Sham group, and Romboustia was the most significantly enriched species. Opportunistic pathogens such as Helicobacter, Streptococcus and Clostridium ⅩⅧ were significantly enriched in the CLP group, Helicobacter_NGSU_ 2015 was the most significantly enriched species. Conclusion:In the early stage of sepsis, the intestinal microbiota structure of rats is significantly changed, which mainly shows that the abundance of Alloprevotella and other probiotics is significantly reduced, while that of Helicobacter and other opportunistic pathogens is significantly increased.

Perilla (Perilla frutescens L.) is an important edible-medicinal oil crop, with its seed containing 46%-58% oil. Of perilla seed oil, α-linolenic acid (C18:3) accounts for more than 60%. Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAT) is one of the key enzymes responsible for triacylglycerol assembly in plant seeds, controlling the metabolic flow from lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid. In this study, the LPAT2 gene from the developing seeds of perilla was cloned and designated as PfLPAT2. The expression profile of PfLPAT2 gene was examined in various tissues and different seed development stages of perilla (10, 20, 30, and 40 days after flowering, DAF) by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). In order to detect the subcellular localization of PfLPAT2 protein, a fusion expression vector containing PfLPAT2 and GFP was constructed and transformed into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration. In order to explore the enzymatic activity and biological function of PfLPAT2 protein, an E. coli expression vector, a yeast expression vector and a constitutive plant overexpression vector were constructed and transformed into an E. coli mutant SM2-1, a wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain INVSc1, and a common tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum, variety: Sumsun NN, SNN), respectively. The results showed that the PfLPAT2 open reading frame (ORF) sequence was 1 155 bp in length, encoding 384 amino acid residues. Functional structure domain prediction showed that PfLPAT2 protein has a typical conserved domain of lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase. qRT-PCR analysis indicated that PfLPAT2 gene was expressed in all tissues tested, with the peak level in seed of 20 DAF of perilla. Subcellular localization prediction showed that PfLPAT2 protein is localized in cytoplasm. Functional complementation assay of PfLPAT2 in E. coli LPAAT mutant (SM2-1) showed that PfLPAT2 could restore the lipid biosynthesis of SM2-1 cell membrane and possess LPAT enzyme activity. The total oil content in the PfLPAT2 transgenic yeast was significantly increased, and the content of each fatty acid component changed compared with that of the non-transgenic control strain. Particularly, oleic acid (C18:1) in the transgenic yeast significantly increased, indicating that PfLPAT2 has a higher substrate preference for C18:1. Importantly, total fatty acid content in the transgenic tobacco leaves increased by about 0.42 times compared to that of the controls, with the C18:1 content doubled. The increased total oil content and the altered fatty acid composition in transgenic tobacco lines demonstrated that the heterologous expression of PfLPAT2 could promote host oil biosynthesis and the accumulation of health-promoting fatty acids (C18:1 and C18:3). This study will provide a theoretical basis and genetic elements for in-depth analysis of the molecular regulation mechanism of perilla oil, especially the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to the genetic improvement of oil quality of oil crops.

Surgery is an essential method of comprehensive treatment for lung cancer, but it also impairs patients’ cardiopulmonary function. A subset of patients who undergo surgery may suffer from postoperative complications, and even death. Preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation is a part of enhanced recovery after surgery, and can improve patients' cardiopulmonary function, reduce postoperative complication rate and shorten hospital stay. It has been already demonstrated a great value in lung cancer surgery. In this review, we summarized the three important components of preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation, including smoking cessation, chest physical therapy, and preoperative exercise training. Moreover, this review outlined the development of pulmonary rehabilitation for lung malignancies, aiming to promote its application and standardization.
