ObjectiveTo investigate the status of overlapping hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus （HCV） infection and the serological characteristics of such patients. MethodsA total of 8 637 patients with HCV infection who were hospitalized from January 1， 2010 to December 31， 2020 and had complete data of HBV serological markers were enrolled， and the composition ratio of patients with overlapping HBV serological markers was analyzed among the patients with HCV infection. The patients were divided into groups based on age and year of birth， and serological characteristics were analyzed， and the distribution of HBV-related serological characteristics were analyzed across different HCV genotypes. ResultsThe patients with HCV/HBV overlapping infection accounted for 5.85%， and the patients with previous HBV infection accounted for 48.10%； the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 14.67%， while the patients with a lack of protective immunity against HBV accounted for 31.39%. The patients were divided into groups based on age： in the 0 — 17 years group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 61.41% （304 patients）； the 18 — 44 years group was mainly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （698 patients， 37.31%）， the 45 — 59 years group was predominantly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （1 945 patients， 50.38%）， and the ≥60 years group was also predominantly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （1 486 patients， 61.66%）. The patients were divided into groups based on the year of birth： in the pre-1992 group， the patients with previous HBV infection accounted for 51.63% （4 112 patients）； in the 1992 — 2005 group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 54.72% （168 patients）； in the post-2005 group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 64.38% （235 patients）. In this study， 6 301 patients underwent HCV genotype testing： the patients with genotype 1b accounted for the highest proportion of 51.71% （3 258 patients）， followed by those with genotype 2a （1 769 patients， 28.07%）， genotype 3b （63 patients， 1.00%）， genotype 3a （10 patients， 0.16%）， genotype 4 （21 patients， 0.33%）， and genotype 6a （5 patients， 0.08%）. ConclusionWith the implementation of hepatitis B planned vaccination program in China， there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of patients with previous HBV infection among the patients with HCV/HBV overlapping infection， but there is still a relatively high proportion of patients with a lack of protective immunity against HBV.

Objective: To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension. Methods: From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories. Results: During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85，81.54，both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72，25.62，both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01). Conclusion Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of polydatin in delaying the progression of colitis-associated colorectal cancer （CAC） by constructing an azoxymethane （AOM）/dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）-induced CAC mouse model and conducting in vitro experiments. MethodsFifty-four male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal， model， and polydatin groups （0.045 g·kg^-1）. The CAC mouse model was established using AOM/DSS， and samples were collected at 4， 7， and 10 weeks. Body weight change rate， disease activity index （DAI）， and tumor formation were assessed. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological injury in intestinal tissues. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was performed to detect zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1） expression in colonic tissues， and Western blot was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin in colonic epithelial cells. Real-time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of interleukin-17A （IL-17A）， Wnt3a， β-catenin， T cell factor 1 （Tcf1）， E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin in colonic tissues. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of CD8⁺T cells and the expression of exhaustion-related molecules in tumors. Human colon cancer DLD-1 cells were cultured in a polydatin-containing medium， and wound healing assays were performed to observe migration changes. Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of interleukin-17 receptor A （IL-17RA）， Wnt3a， β-catenin， Tcf1， E-cadherin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin in DLD-1 cells. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group at all three time points showed significantly decreased body weight change rate （P<0.01）， significantly shortened colon length （P<0.01）， and markedly increased DAI scores （P<0.01）. HE staining revealed significant inflammatory cell infiltration in the submucosa of the colon in the model group， accompanied by epithelial dysplasia. ZO-1 expression in colonic tissues was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory factor IL-17A and key molecules of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway （Wnt3a， β-catenin， Tcf1） was significantly elevated （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） markers N-cadherin and Vimentin was significantly upregulated （P<0.05）， while E-cadherin expression was significantly downregulated （P<0.05）. The proportion of tumor-infiltrating CD8⁺T cells expressing immunosuppressive molecules （TIM-3， LAG-3， PD-1） was significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the polydatin group showed significant improvement in body weight and DAI score （P<0.01）， as well as recovery of colon length and tissue injury. ZO-1 expression in colonic tissue was significantly increased （P<0.01）， while IL-17A， Wnt3a， β-catenin， Tcf1， N-cadherin， and Vimentin expression levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and E-cadherin expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Tumor-infiltrating CD8⁺ T cells expressing immunosuppressive molecules were significantly reduced （P<0.05）. In vitro experiments showed that polydatin significantly inhibited migration of DLD-1 cells （P<0.01） and reversed the upregulation of IL-17RA， Wnt3a， β-catenin， N-cadherin， and Vimentin mRNA， as well as the downregulation of E-cadherin mRNA （P<0.05）. ConclusionPolydatin inhibits IL-17A secretion and IL-17RA expression， improves the immune microenvironment， blocks activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， suppresses EMT markers （N-cadherin and Vimentin）， and restores tight junction protein expression in intestinal epithelial cells， thereby delaying the progression from colitis to colorectal cancer in mice.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between the blood stasis score of coronary heart disease（CAD） and mild cognitive impairment（MCI）， as well as the changes in plasma metabolic profile of blood stasis in patients with CAD combined with MCI（CADMCI） through a cross-sectional study， and further explore the impact of different degrees of blood stasis on the plasma metabolite profile of CADMCI patients. MethodsAccording to the diagnostic criteria of CAD and CAD blood stasis， patients hospitalized in Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from October 2022 to October 2023 were continuously included. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment（MoCA） scale score， the enrolled patients were divided into CADMCI blood stasis group and CAD blood stasis group. The association between blood stasis score and MCI was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression model. The receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curve was drawn， and the area under the curve（AUC） was calculated to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the model. According to the blood stasis score， the first 30 patients in the CADMCI blood stasis group and CAD blood stasis group were divided into mild blood stasis and severe blood stasis. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was used to detect plasma metabolites in each group of patients. The differential metabolites were screened according to variable importance in the projection（VIP） value≥1， fold change（FC）<0.67 or >1.5， and P<0.05. ROC curve analysis was further used to evaluate the discriminatory efficiency of the screened differential metabolites for each group of samples. ResultsA total of 266 CAD patients were included in this study. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the CAD blood stasis score was significantly correlated with MCI［odds ratio（OR）=1.619， 95% confidence interval（CI） 1.223-2.142， P<0.001， ROC curve AUC was 0.615（95% CI 0.547-0.683， P=0.001）］， indicating that the CAD blood stasis score has a certain predictive value for MCI. Plasma non-targeted metabolomics analysis showed that the main differential metabolites between CAD blood stasis and CADMCI blood stasis were lipid metabolites， among which phosphatidylcholine［20∶4（5Z， 8Z， 11Z， 14Z）/P-18∶1（11Z）］ had the best discriminatory efficiency（ROC curve AUC=0.867， 95% CI 0.754-0.942）. Further analysis of the differential metabolites between mild and severe blood stasis showed that lipid metabolites were also the main differential metabolites between mild and severe blood stasis. Among them， 1α，25-dihydroxy-2β-（2-hydroxyethoxy） vitamin D₃ had the best efficacy in distinguishing mild and severe CAD blood stasis（AUC=0.813， 95% CI 0.649-0.951）， and phosphatidylcholine 34∶2 had the best efficacy in distinguishing mild and severe CADMCI blood stasis（AUC=0.819， 95% CI 0.640-0.941）. ConclusionThere is a significant correlation between CAD blood stasis score and MCI. Phosphatidylcholine metabolites play an important role in the pathogenesis of CADMCI blood stasis and severe blood stasis. The CAD blood stasis score combined with the detection of phosphatidylcholine metabolites can provide a reference for the development of early and efficient identification strategies for CADMCI.

Objective:To investigate the self-perceived cognitive decline status in the community population,and to explore the association between different dietary habits and self-perceived cognitive decline.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out in 11 879 community residents in the three regions of Weifang,Jining,and Zoucheng in Shandong Province.The Ascertain Dementia-8 and dietary habits information questionnaire were used to assess self-perceived cognitive decline and dietary habits,and their association were analyzed using single factor and multivariate logistic regression.Results:The detection rate of self-perceived cognitive decline was 21.4％.Lo-gistic regression showed that smoking in the past was positively associated with self-perceived cognitive decline(OR=1.40,95％CI:1.14-1.73).However,intake of fruits(often,OR=0.70,95％CI:0.52-0.94;everyday,OR=0.60,95％CI:0.44-0.81),nuts(daily,OR=0.62,95％CI:0.44-0.88),mushrooms(often,OR=0.74,95％CI:0.57-0.92)and high tryptophan foods(sometimes,OR=0.79,95％CI:0.68-0.91;everyday,OR=0.54,95％CI:0.34-0.87)were negatively associated with self-perceived cognitive decline.Conclusion:Smoking history might be a risk factor for self-perceived cognitive decline,and high frequency intake of fruits,nuts,mush-rooms,and high tryptophan foods might protective factors for it.

Objective To analyze the distribution of serum food specific immunoglobulin(Ig)E and IgG antibodies in patients with adverse food reactions in Qingdao area.Methods The specific IgE test results of 4 199 patients with suspected food allergy and the specific IgG test results of 741 patients with food intoler-ance were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2012 to 2022.A total of 4 199 pa-tients with suspected food allergy(2 308 males and 1 891 females)were enrolled in this study.According to the age,the patients were divided into infancy(＜1 year old)205 cases,early childhood(1-＜3 years old)1009 cases,childhood(3-＜14 years old)1 946 cases,adolescence(14-＜18 years old)99 cases,youth(18-＜40 years old)554 cases,middle age(40-＜65 years old)329 cases and old age(≥65 years old)57 cases.A to-tal of 741 patients with food intolerance(469 males and 272 females)were enrolled in this study.According to the age,the patients were divided into 81 cases in infancy(＜1 year old),298 cases in early childhood(1-＜3 years old)and 362 cases in childhood(3-＜14 years old).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the positive rates of IgE and IgG antibodies in serum of patients,and the positive rates of IgE and IgG antibodies in patients with different gender and age were compared.Results Egg white and cow's milk were the most sensitive foods in infants and young children.The positive rate of specific IgE antibody decreased gradually with the increase of age,and increased slightly in old age.The positive rate of specific IgE antibody in shrimp and crab increased first and then decreased with age,and it was higher in young and middle age.The tolerance of infants and children to meat and crustaceans was relatively strong,and the positive rate of food specific IgG to fish was higher than that to meat(P＜0.05).The positive rate of tomato-specific IgG was the highest in infancy and gradually decreased with age(P＜0.05).Conclusion With the increase of age and the change of dietary structure,the positive rate of food specific IgG antibody may change significantly.Clinicians should accurately grasp the epidemiological characteristics of food adverse reactions in this area,and adjust and optimize the diet structure of patients to make correct diagnosis and treatment.

The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges in quality digitization for complex multi-stage processes, especially in small-sample systems. Here, an intelligent quality prediction and diagnostic (IQPD) framework was developed and applied to Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, utilizing four years of data collected from four production units, covering the entire process from raw materials to finished products. In this framework, a novel path-enhanced double ensemble quality prediction model (PeDGAT) is proposed, which combines a graph attention network and path information to encode inter-unit long-range and sequential dependencies. Additionally, the double ensemble strategy enhances model stability in small samples. Compared to global traditional models, PeDGAT achieves state-of-the-art results, with an average improvement of 13.18% and 87.67% in prediction accuracy and stability on three indicators. Additionally, a more in-depth diagnostic model leveraging grey correlation analysis and expert knowledge reduces reliance on large samples, offering a panoramic view of attribute relationships across units and improving process transparency. Finally, the IQPD framework integrates into a Human-Cyber-Physical system, enabling faster decision-making and real-time quality adjustments for Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, a product with annual sales exceeding 100 million CNY. This facilitates the transition from experience-driven to data-driven manufacturing.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of TCM syndromes in patients with mild cognitive impairment of coronary heart disease(CHD-MCI);To provide reference for the TCM prevention and treatment of CHD-MCI.Methods A prospective,cross-sectional study design was adopted to collect general information and TCM diagnosis information of CHD-MCI patients who attended Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from July 2022 to December 2023.Descriptive statistics were conducted,retaining the main syndrome entries.Multivariate statistical methods such as factor analysis and clustering analysis were used to enrich and summarize the TCM syndrome characteristics of CHD-MCI patients and analyze their distribution patterns.Results This study collected information on the TCM four diagnostic methods from 220 CHD-MCI patients,retaining clinical syndrome items with a frequency of>20%,including 29 symptoms and 13 tongue pulse information.Common clinical symptoms included chest tightness,thirst,palpitations,chest pain,fatigue,severe physical activity or fatigue,dizziness and soreness in the waist and knees.Common tongue symptoms included greasy tongue coating,yellow tongue coating and dull red tongue.Common pulse conditions included pulse string,sinking pulse and astringency.Factor analysis was conducted on 42 variable items,obtaining 17 common factors with a cumulative contribution rate of 66.298%.Based on this,clustering analysis was applied,combined with clinical diagnosis and treatment experience and expert group opinions,to determine that there were four common types of TCM syndromes in CHD-MCI(ranked from high to low in proportion):kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome(38.18%),qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome(28.18%),heart kidney deficiency syndrome(25.00%)and qi deficiency and phlegm obstruction syndrome(8.64%).Conclusion Patients with CHD-MCI can be classified into four types of TCM syndromes,with kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome being the most common.Based on the information from the TCM four diagnostic methods,the key points of each type of syndrome can be determined,providing a basis for the objective classification and differentiation of TCM syndromes in this disease.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing mood and sleep among special operation personnel,so as to provide evidence for the prevention and intervention of related issues.Methods A total of 600 special operation personnel during their special duty were enrolled by random sampling method.Basic information was collected by a general information questionnaire.Mood and sleep status were evaluated by self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale(PSQI).Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that factors associated with anxiety were years of work experience(r=0.099,P=0.016),family residence(r=-0.153,P＜0.001),and sleep status(r=0.199,P＜0.001);the factors associated with depression were relationship with parents(r=-0.134,P=0.001),family residence(r=-0.144,P＜0.001),and sleep status(r=0.122,P=0.003);and the factors associated with sleep were age(r=0.088,P=0.031),years of work experience(r=0.079,P=0.049),and number of children(r=0.083,P=0.043).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that depression was not an influencing factor of sleep(odds ratio[OR]=1.302,95%confidence interval[95%CI]0.759-1.758,P=0.086),while anxiety was an influencing factor of sleep(OR=2.187,95%CI 1.608-4.695,P=0.001).Conclusion The sleep status of special operation personnel investigated in this survey is related to age and years of work experience,and is influenced by anxiety.Therefore,greater attention should be given to sleep issues in the occupational health support of special operations.Additionally,years of work experience,family residence,relationship with parents,and sleep status are related to anxiety and depression among special operation personnel.It is necessary to focus on the mental health of older workers and those with longer tenure.

OBJECTIVE To explore emergency airway opening methods for patients with dyspnea caused by tumor related cervical tracheal stenosis,and summarize safe and effective emergency management methods for such patients.METHODS Retrospectively collect cases of dyspnea caused by tumor invasion or wrapping around the cervical trachea treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2012 and December 2023,analyze the process or method of emergency airway opening,and summarize the safe and effective airway opening methods for such patients.RESULTS A total of 31 cases were collected,including 25 cases of thyroid malignant tumors invading the cervical trachea(18 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer,5 cases of thyroid lymphoma,1 case of undifferentiated cancer,and 1 case of medullary cancer),3 cases of cervical tracheal recurrence after laryngeal cancer surgery,2 cases of primary tumors in the cervical trachea,1 case of cervical esophageal cancer,24 cases of grade II dyspnea upon admission,6 cases of grade III dyspnea,and 1 case of grade IV dyspnea.The methods of airway opening are as follows:20 cases underwent tumor resection and tracheotomy under anesthesia intubation and general anesthesia,6 cases underwent longitudinal downward tracheostomy with the larynx as the landmark,2 cases underwent midline tumor resection with the chin and sternum as the landmark to expose the trachea,2 cases underwent emergency tracheotomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)support,and 1 case underwent tracheotomy with extracorporeal circulation machine support.All patients successfully opened their airways without serious complications such as major bleeding,asphyxia,or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.CONCLUSION For patients with tumor induced cervical tracheal stenosis that is difficult to expose the trachea using conventional methods and requires emergency airway opening,the anesthesiology department can first evaluate whether a small tracheal tube can be inserted for general anesthesia before tracheotomy.If intubation is difficult,the airway can be opened by longitudinally splitting the cricoid cartilage or the anterior wall of the trachea,marked by the larynx.If the larynx is covered or wrapped by tumors and cannot be exposed,the midline marked by the chin and suprasternal fossa can be used to remove a portion of the tumor and expose the trachea,followed by longitudinally splitting the anterior wall of the trachea to open the airway.If the above methods are difficult to operate,it is feasible to remove the tumor under general anesthesia with extracorporeal circulation or ECMO support,expose the trachea,and open the airway.
