The Department of Thoracic Surgery of Shanghai Chest Hospital has performed esophageal function testing for over 30 years, being the only department of its kind in China with this capability. The pressure testing and 24-hour pH/impedance monitoring of the esophagus is of great help to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant esophageal diseases related to it. Thanks to the esophageal function test, in addition to the routine various endoscopic anti-reflux procedures, our hospital has taken the lead in China in recent years to carry out a series of clinical and research work for benign esophageal diseases, such as the development of magnetic ring, double nedoscopic combination and new anti-reflux endoscopic techniques. In recent years, we have carried out high-resolution esophageal manometry and 24-hour pH/impedance monitoring for patients with interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis suspected to be caused by gastroesophageal acid reflux. We can better assess the correlation between gastroesophageal reflux and pulmonary fibrosis, and to provide the different clinical treatments and even surgical interventions. The Bravo capsule is used more often in the United States, and it has obvious advantages over traditional approach for acid measurement. We strongly call for the collaboration between industry and academic institutions in this field, and the development of our own related products with independent intellectual property rights.

Abstract
To promote the development of sexuality education for Chinese adolescents, the study analyses Ireland s relationships and sexuality education (RSE) curriculum and concludes that it centers on student development in terms of curriculum philosophy and objectives, emphasizing its educational value. At the content level, it employs a staged teaching approach to achieve comprehensive coverage based on students physical and mental development characteristics. In terms of implementation, it adopts a spiral organization to ensure the scientific integrity of the curriculum. In addition, it utilizes diverse evaluation methods to strengthen the systematic nature of the curriculum. Based on these insights, China could collaborate with multiple stakeholders to advance the development of RSE, establish a scientific and systematic framework for RSE, and constructing a comprehensive implementation and teacher support system, thereby promoting the refinement and innovation of RSE programs.

Glioma is the most common primary central nervous system tumor,mainly derived from glial cells,with strong invasiveness,easy recurrence,and poor prognosis.Glioblastoma is a high-grade glioma with the highest degree of malignancy.The clinical treatment method is mainly surgical resection,supplemented by compre-hensive treatment such as radiotherapy,chemotherapy,and electric field therapy,but the treatment effect is not satisfactory.In recent years,with the rapid development of the field of tumor immunotherapy,CD73 is a novel immune checkpoint related to adenosine metabolism,which can promote tumor progression by inhibiting anti-tumor immune responses and promoting angiogenesis.This article systematically reviews the mechanism of action of CD73 and discusses its biological role and application in glioma,aiming to provide potential treatment options for glioma patients.

Objective:
To understand family food environment and its associated factors of primary and secondary school students in Tongzhou District, so as to provide reference for the improvement of family food environment of primary and secondary school students in Tongzhou District.
Methods:
From 2021 to 2023, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 1 485 families of students from 11 schools in Tongzhou District. Single Factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences in family food environment across different demographic background, and the associated factors were analyzed by the multiple binary Logistic regression model.
Results:
The average score of family food environment of primary and secondary school students in Tongzhou District was 64.32(12.28) points, and the total compliance rate (≥60 points) was 67.41%. The score of family feeding pattern [58.33 (11.11) points] and the compliance rate (42.76%) ranked the bottom among the five dimensions of family food environment. Rural families (OR=1.78, 95%CI=1.41-2.25), junior high schools (OR=1.42, 95%CI=1.07-1.87), senior high schools (OR=2.28, 95%CI=1.73-3.00), singleparent families (OR=1.89, 95%CI=1.15-3.10) and obese parents (OR=1.81, 95%CI=1.23-2.65) had a higher risk of substandard family food environment (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Family food environment of primary and secondary school students in Tongzhou District is not optimistic, family feeding mode needs to be improved. Attention should be paid to the family food environment, so as to effectively promote healthy growth of children and adolescents.

Objective To analyze the basic case data and laboratory test index characteristics of patients with myasthenia gravis(MG),so as to evaluate the application value of common clinical laboratory indicators in the construction of a diagnostic model for MG.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the basic data and laboratory indicators of MG patients and gender and age-matched healthy controls diagnosed at Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University from April 2021 to April 2023.A diagnostic model was constructed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the area under the curve(AUC).Results The BMI,heart rate,systolic blood pressure,and diastolic blood pressure in the MG group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).There were significant differences in total protein,albumin,white blood cell count,proportion of large platelets,abso-lute value of monocyte and triiodothyronine between MG group and control group(P<0.05).Seven indexes of heart rate,diastolic blood pressure,albumin,creatine kinase,cholinesterase,triglyceride and apolipoprotein B were selected to construct the diagnostic model.The area under the curve of the combined application of multiple indexes could reach 0.995,with a sensitivity and specificity of 97.60%and 96.10%,respectively.Conclusion In this study,the laboratory test indexes that can be used for the diagnosis of MG are successfully selected,and the sensitivity and specificity of the combined application of multiple indexes are high,which can be used for the auxiliary diagnosis of MG.
